 Any child between the ages men tioned, attending a 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 attending must be plainly written at the top of the first page. The announcement of the competition has been sent to the superintendents of schools in the rural districts. No further in formation can be obtained from the office of public roads. This an- nouncement should be plain to everyone, and all children will thus start on a basis of equality.

A CHANGE FOR OUR
 BOYS AND GIRLS

From the office of Public Roads:
 A gold medal to the school boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 15 who writes the best composition, not to exceed 500 words, on the re- pair and maintenance of earth roads, is to be awarded by Logan Waller Page, director, office of Public Roads, United States department of agriculture, Washington, DC. All compositions must be submitted to MT. Page before May 15, 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 quo- tations should be made.
 After many years experience in dealing with the public road situa- tion of the country, it is Mr Pages 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 It is expected that the competition will bring abouta better understand ing of the subject of repair and 
 maintenance in the rural districts.
 Many children living in the rural districts have experienced the dis advantages of roads made impassa- ble through a lack of proper main tenance and it is expected that their interest in the competition will stim- ulate greater interest among the parents. Bad roads have prevented many children from obtaining a proper education and have even

" oppose any clemency in these cases,
believing that the situation demands
that the law be permitted 20 take its

Naturally" continued Judge Price
those who have been heard from on
the subject are mainly those who seek
mercy for the criminals The other side
remains quiet. The man who believes
Floyd and Claude Allen should be exc
cuted is not likely 20 write the Gov

cuted. He IL much more likely TO rest
