thy for Mrs. Freeand and the fami-
lily in their great sorrow. Mrs.
Parkman will be sadly missed by
her granddaughter, Sunne Free

ant and profitable term and will

A Gold Medal Offered For Best
Essay on Road Building.

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages Of 10 and
Is 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
Road, United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. G.
All compositions must be submitted
to Mr.. Page before May Is, 1918,
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
quotations should be made.

ton of the country, it is MIR. 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.
1t IS expected that the competition
will bring about a better under
standing Of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the ru-
raj districts have experienced the
disadvantages of roads made i'm
passable through lack OF proper
maintenance aud it is expected that
their interest in the competition
will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children from OBJ
tanning proper education and have
even prevented doctors from reach
ins the side of rural patients in
time 20 save their lives.
ANY child between the ages men.
toned, attending country school,
may compete. Dolly 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 h Is been sent to the
superiE.enden,s of schools in the
rural districts. No further infor-
nation can be obtained from the
Office of Public Roads. This an.
nouncement should be plain 10

Who's Who i'm the c. abinet--By Corr
BY J. CAMPBELL CORY
Special cartoonist for the Time,

Special Cartoonist for the Times
FraSklin Knight Lane, the new
secretary of the interior, has
nourished a poignant sorrow ever
since he was compelled to MEM
orize long sections of the consti-
tuition of the United States while
public school pupil out in Cali
fornia. Mr.. Lane never can be
president. Although he has sum-
mered and wintered about As of
his 49 years in the "lapd of the
Free" he was born an alien. His
ancestral home is on Prince I'D
wards Island, off the Atlantic
coast of Canada.
Lane has a record Of accom-
plishment. The general public
did not hear of him until he be-
came a member of the interstate
commerce commission and began
to cary the monotonous routine
of the work of that body with
some real and aggressive activ-
ity. But even before this, 1t was
he who first brought the late e.
H. Hartman to a realization OF
the fact that the people had
something to say in the matter of
railroad rates. Lane was the
democratic candidate for gov
ernor of California in 1902. He
had the goods" on the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific crowd
and he proceeded to tell the peo-
Pile of California all he knew on
the subject and many other
things he suspected.
The very next year he bobbed
up as a candidate for the United
States senatorship. That he did
not take his place in the senate
was due only to the fact that
there were not enough demo-
cratic votes in the legislature.
Within two years he was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt a
member of the interstate COM
merce commission and got the
opportunity to put his theories
into practice.
His chief delight in life seems
to consist in starting some
thing" Initiative is supposed to
be a quality possessed by every
man who succeeds in public life.
Lanes associates say that his
particular kind of initiative
should be spelled in capital let
ters. While he was a member of
the Interstate commerce commits
sion, he kept everybody around
him on the jump.
Lane is exceedingly demo-
cratic in his manner, but at the
same time refuses to make any
concessions to the gallery. He is
frank in speech and absolutely
refuses to put on any 'side" on
account of his official position.
But he declines to wear the uni
form of Jeffersondan simplicity
SO generally affected by success
full politicians. In fact from a
sartorial point of view, he Is the
pride of the new cabinet. In his
nifty looking garments he would
make a good model for those
ready-made clothing advertise
ments that are now flooding the
newspapers and magazines in
anticipation of the spring trade.
He is spick and span from his
polished crown to his glistening
shoes, and he wears those classy
little white edgings that project
a fraction of an inch from under
the v of his waistcoat.
Lanes refusal to play the
grandstand game has worried his
political associates. On one oc-
casion, during his gubernatorial

rea on the night of October II, an ad-

for this reason the trial has been
continued until Friday morning at 10
o'clock. The defendant appeared in
court and took the same casual inter
est in the proceedings that a specta-
tor might have taken, Although he
was correctly dressed, in a suit of
American-made garments, he was able
to speak very little English and 1t is
probable that if he is called upon the
witness stand in his own de-ense an
interpreter will be used Friday
