Gold Medal for Girl Or Boy

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of 10 and
Is who writes the best composition,
not to exceed 800 words, on the
repair and maintenance of earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, Office OF
Public Roads, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. G. All compositions must
be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1913, and the medal VIII
be awarded as soon thereafter rs
the compositions can be graded.
The composition may be based on
knowledge gained from looks or
other sources, but no quotations
shovld be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road sltua-
ton 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 con :
dition as any other one factor. 1t
is expected that the competition
will bring about better under
standing of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.
Any child between the agee men
toned, attending country school:
may compete. Only one side OF
| the paper must be written on; each
page should be numbered; the
name, age, and ad lress 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 superlnteD-
dents of schools in the rural dis
tricts. 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 a
basis of equality.

Cooks

4 COOK is a genius who is able
~ to combine the contents OF a
= meat market and a grocery
store in such a manner as to tempt u
man to overeat himself whether he Is
hungry OF not.
Cooking is the greatest profession in
the world. There are upwards OF 25,-
100000 cooks in this country alone and
a number Of them are good cooks. The
difference between a good cook and a
bad cook is greater than the difference
between heaven and the feverish lati-
tudes.
a good cook can take an old shoe,
little salt and some edible debris of vari-
GUS sorts and make a soup from them
which would cause Republican to for
get last NOvember's election and sing
for ioy. A bad cook can take a cross
section of a sweet and tOOthsome young
COW and anneal it so successfully that
the hungry diner viii eat his napkin in
stead.
Cooks. ike violinists, are born-not
made. Some women can mix IA ingTe-
dents by guess. bake them until they
have finished a story and n-0dUee a
masterpiece which will rlake the eater
veil for more. Other women cook with a
pair of apothecary's scales and stop
watch and produce only woe and dys-
pepsia.
Cooking is a duty of woman and eating
the result Is a duty OF man. The more
duty the sadder the world. But cooking
