Gold Medal For
Best Composition

A gold madal to the school
boy or girl between the ages of
10 and Il who writes the best
composition, not to exceed 800
words, on the repair and main
tenance Of earth roads is to be
awarded by Logan Waller Page,
Director, Office Of Public Roads,
United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. G.
All compositions must be sub
mitted to Mr.. Page before May
Is, 1913, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as
the compositions can be graded.
The composition mly be based
on knowledge gained from books
or other sources, but 10 quota
tions should be made.
After many years experience
in dealing with the pablic road
situation 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 about a better under
standing of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural
districts.
Many children living in rural
districts have experienced the
disadvantage of roads made i'm
passable through the lack of
proper maintenance and tits ex.
pected that thei, interest in the
composition will create a greater
interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining a prop
er education and have even pre-
vented doctors from reaching
the side of their patients in time
to save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned, attending a country
school may compete. Only one
side of the paper must be written
on; 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 superintendent of schools
in rural districts. No further
information can be OBJ aimed
from the Office of Public Roads.
This announcement should be
plain to everyone, and all chill
dren will thus start on a basis
of equality.

A Plain Talk With You

The following is . sermon ia
ken from the sayings of Eyange-
list Billy Williams and publish
ed in the Greenville Piedmont:
Privileges and freedom come
to women because of the Gospe' '.
Where the Gospel is not preach
ed, woman is a slave to the law
and to man.
Woman was last at the cross,
first at the grave and first
preached to by the resurrected
Christ.
Woman led man out of Para
disc. She should make it her
business to lead him back again.
The training that best fits q
Girl for heaven, fits her for this

glory, units to live on earth.
Girls, men don't think as

es below where God intended
that it should be, and with the
heels of your shoes throwing
your body into a kangaroo
shape.
Men know that tinsel isn't
gold; that sweet lips and spark
ling eyes are not enough to keep
house upon.
Men are not looking for a doll
baby. They can get a doll fo1
Is cents.
There is no such thing as sim
gle blessedness, but there is
double cussedness.
Better be the good wife of a
bad husband than bad like the
husband.
Sometimes I have performed
the marriage ceremony when it
would have been better had I
been reading their burial ser
vice.
If you are looking for a man
in the common acceptance of
the term you can find one on
almost any street corner, but
street corner loafers are poor
material out of which to make
husbands.
Avoid the young man who
thinks more of his patent leath-
er or his tan shoes than he does
of his conscience.
Get the Sun of Righteousness
in your heart. That will bring
