turned against him. He, too, was glad
that he had sent Captain Hochamberg

the sealed order. There was another
sealed envelope in the packet and this

TUNES are in demand Blouses in the long-waisted
Balkan style make an important feature Of fall fashions

and they are Of especial value students because OF
the fact that they loose and pleasant to wear

they will be made both with skirts match and to
be worn over those Of contrasting material All the
plads are fashionable and the combination shown in
the picture is in excellent style Women who have
costumes to remodel will realize how practical the
suggestion l. Blouses shirt waists among the
real necessities For the the square yoke effect
is pronounced favorite and the rolling collar that
gives the slightly open throat makes almost universal
finish. The skirts to be with the blouses are
made quite simply, are straight and narrow, but do
show the unfortunate exaggcraton that has been
apparent in some Of the earlier models Eponge in

pie, it will become necessary for the
Legislature as soon as it meets, to
call special election, by the people
to select Mr.. Bacon's successor. It
will be necessary that this election
be held on a date early enough for
the returns of the same to reach the
General Assembly in time for them
to canvass the same, and declare the
result, before adjournment. The
Legislature will meet June the 25th
next, and it is probable that an cleo
ton will be called for the purpose
named above, about the Goth of
July. Elections are expensive to
the county, and in as much as the
election for Senator and Sheriff can
be held on the same day, and by the
same managers at the cost of one
election, l have decided not to call
this election until the Legislature
has fixed time for the election of
a U. S. Senator, then to order an e.
lection for Sheriff, fixing the same
date. If the President should fail
to proclaim this amendment as a
part of our law before the meeting of
our legislature, then l will order an
election early in June.

among the parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children from obtain
ing proper education and have pre-
vented doctors from reaching the side
of rural patients in time to save their
lives.
Any child between the ages mention
ed, attending country school, may
compete. Only one side of the paper
must be written on; each page should
be numbered; the name, age and address
of the writer, and the name and location
of the school which he or she is attend
ing must be plainly written at the top
of the first page. The announcement
of the competition has been sent to the
superintendent of schools in the rural
districts. No further information can
be obtained from the Office of Public
Roads. This announcement should be
plain to everyone, and all children will
thus start on basis of equality.

GOLD MEDAL FOR BEST
Good ROADS LETTER
United States Department Of
Agriculture Makes Offer To
The School Children.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is who
writer's the best composition, not to ex-
coed 800 words on the repair and main
tainance of earth roads, is to be award
ed by Logan Waller Page, Director,
Office of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c. All compositions must be
submitted to MIR. Page before May Is,
1913, and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded. The composition may
be based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota
tions should be made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation of
the country, it isMr. Page s
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of
roads is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor. 1t
is expected that the competition will
bring about better understanding of
the subject of repair and maintenance
in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvant-
ages of roads made impossible through
lack of proper maintenance and it is
expected that their interest in the com
petition will stimulate greater interest
