TO BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of 10
and Is who writes the best com.
position, 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 Department of Agrlcul.
ture. 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 compo-
sitlons can be graded. The com.
position may be based on know.
ledge gained from books or 9th.
er sources. but no quotations
should be made.
After many years experience
in dealing with the public road
situation of the country, 1t is
MIR. Pages belief that ignorance
on the subject of repair aud
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 the
rural districts have experienced
the disadvantages of roads made
impossible through a lack of
proper maintenance and it is ex-
pected that their interest in the
| competition will stimulate great.
er interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining a proper
education and have even prevent.
ed doctors from reac hing the
side of rural patients in time to
save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned, attending a country
school, may compete. Only side
of the paper must be written on;
each page should be numbered:
the age, and address of the writ
er, and the name and location of
the school which he or she is at
tending must be plainly written
at the top of the first page. The
announcement of the competition
1shas been sent to the superintend-
lents of schools i'm the rural dis.
trlcts. No further information
can be obtained from the Office
|of Public Roads. This an
lnouncement should be plain to
leveryone. and all children will
thus start on basis of equality.

Az ENFORCED EXPEDIENT.

The prospect is that Huerta will be
''hoist by his own petard". that assum-
ing the dictatorship will prove his
undoing. The most conspicuous fore
shadow OF this event is the complete
alienation of the friendly offices of
the United States and other powers.
Advices from Washington indicate
that Pres. Wilson has several relations
with the Mexican dictator and, what
IS more significant. that the president
is considering opening negotiations
With the constitutionalists. 1t is not
TO be understood from this that the
American government is espousing
the cause OF the so-called rebels or
that it has any other purpose than the
bringing OF peace and good govern
ment 10 the distressed republic.
The motive Of the United states are
entirely peaceful. The utmost care
has been taken TO avoid action upon
which might De based "A presumption
or assumption that this government
has either bias or prejudice for or
against any faction in Mexico, except
that Pres. Wilson has not deemed il
wise. prudent or just to give recOgni-
ton to the Huerta government found
ed as il was upon assassination.
Subsequent events have fully vindi-
Gated the wisdom of Pres. Wilson'S
course, and the new policy fore
Swallowed seems justified by the cir
cumstances. The constitutionalists
are in rebellion against the Huerta
government. ostensibly at least they
are striving to give Mexico a better
form OF government than Huerta has
provided or than he is likely to pro-
vide. and whether they are sincere or
not they have done nothing SO far TO
antagonize or ALLEVIATE neighboring
and foreign powers.
Hutrta has made it impossible for
this government To continue relations
with him. however distant, but the
pacification OF Mexico cannot be aban-
doned by this and other nations which
have more than a friendly interest in
Il through commercial relations. There
IS too much at stake TO stand aloof
and do nothing TO aid IN restoring
order and good government The
peace Of the continent IS of first i'm
portance and the interests of for
eigners in Mexico are entitled to pro-
lection.
In this emergency any honorable
and peaceful means to which Pres.
Wilson may have recourse viii be re-
garded as legitimate and as in nowise
cOmpromising or involving the Amer
lean government.

I see by the papers the New York
Central railroad and some of the
western hotels are not going to fur
nish finger bowls any more. Maybe
the arrangements thought they re-
minded folks of the old style of eat
ing before folks were invented.
Forks have been in use only about
500 years. The old Greeks, although
their civilization was much advanced,
ate with their fingers as gracefully as
possible. And in the middle ages peO-
pie still ate with their fingers. OF
course they washed their hands be-
fore and after each meal but still.
the custom was anything but clean.
Each OF the guests at dinner was
first offered a basin and a pitcher and
it was bad form to help ones self to
any Of the food before having careful
~ washed hands and face. of course
they washed them again after the
meal. Goldsmith finally invented
forks but at first they were objects
Of luxury and were used only at
times when they might have been
done without, as for eating pears
cheese and sandwiches.

The other day thoughtless person
started the report that an attache OF
one OF the city garages was dead. The
report reached the mother of the
young man said TO have been killed in
q motor car accident and caused her
great distress of mind.
The author OF the report had only
the idea of perpetrating a practical
joke. lie had no thought or concep-
ton OF the consequences. lie wanted
20 have a little fun at the expense Of
his friend and could think Of no bet
Ter way. II was. OF course, an idle
and foolish performance and one in
which. perhaps. the performer would
not have INDUCED had he taken a
second thought or foreseen the conse-
Quences- II was expensive fun. and
II the perpetrator Of the act is as
conscious OF its enormity as he should
be he is doubtless finding his proper
share OF suffering in remorse.
Many a word spOk n IN jest carries
a concealed dart which is as effective
ia producing pain as though fired in
malice. Many an III considered act
has consequences far beyond the COM
prehension Of the author Such Of
lenses against sense and propriety
arise from lack OF consideration for
others and from very bad habit OF
