and dancing in keeping with the
Christmas and New Year frolic.

running to fires is as hard as learning
to stop buying mining stock in the
West. And it's just as big a swindle
too. The returns from running to fires
are marvelously small. They tell me
that a hundred million dollars a year
goes up in flames in this country. |

know who gets to see all the fun. l
don't.
I've run to fires all my life, until
lately, and I've drawn about three hun
dred and seventy-five blanks. Once !
almost saw a big grain-elevator burn in
a Western town. That is, | would
have seen it is l had looked out of my
hotel window. But I'd run two miles
to see a burning haystack in the after

of stores burn, back in Homeburg-at
the distance of a mile. 1 was in school
and the teacher wouldn't dismiss us.
BY stretching my neck several feet l
could just see the flames leaping over
the trees, but that was all. Some of
the bad boys sneaked out of the door,
but l was a good boy, and waited one
thousand years until school was out
and the fire was ditto. I've neve felt
quite the same towards either good

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 understanding of the subject
of repair and maintenance in the rural
districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper maintenance
and it Is expected 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 prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural pateients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men,
toned, 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 superintendent
of schools in the rural districts. No
further information car be obtained
from the Office of public roads. This
announcement should be plain to every
one, and all children will thus start
on a basis of equality.

In the May American Magazine,
George Fitch begins a series of Home
burg sketches which promise to be as
good reading about the small town as
anything written since the days of
Mark Twain. The first sketch Is en-.
titled "The Friendly Fire-Fiend" and
is descriptive OF the joy of fighting
fire with a volunteer fire department.
Following is an extract:

you've u nine blocks. Watch the
racers coming back. Stung, every one
of them gold-bricked. There's a fat

Pierre dispatch. Zell is not incor-

township, is Incorporated. The law of
last winter prohibits a township saloon
within five miles of an incorporated
town which has voted dry, and the mat

has gone to the courts to decide as to
wet or dry. With Rockham dry, Zell
could not have a saloon as 1t Is just
barely within the five mile limit. But
Mr.. Jungworth anticipated and at the
township elections in March he Sc
cured a license vote in Zell township,
to allow him to operate at Zell If the
conditions were favorable; at the same
time he secured a license vote in Plato

NEW YORK. May 27.--Mrs. Milla
D. Shonts, wife Of Theodore p. Shonts,
president Of the marlborough. is in
serious condition, as the result OF
the burning of her county home near
Mobile, Ala, on April 18th. last, when
she and her daughters were driven out
by the flames. A statement to this
effect was made in the Supreme
court today by DR.. f. b. Lyon, of
Mobile. physician for Mrs. Shonts. on
an application for the adjournment
of the trial of suit brought against
Mrs. Shonts on a note.
DIR. Lyon said that at the time of
the fire Mrs. Shonts was suffering
from general physical breakdown,
extreme nervous depressions, and ir-
ritability and rheumatism, and that
the shock to her nervous system
caused by the burning of her home
had made her condition such that she
was unable to accompany her daugh-
tiers TO New York after the fire. DR..

Record Breaking
Field and Track +.
Records Expected

BOSTON. May 27.-That records In
many branches of field and track
events will be smashed at the annual
athletic carnival of the Interscolastic
Athletic association, that will be held
Friday and Saturday at the Harvard
Stadium, is the prediction of MEM
bers of the committee in charge OF
the great meet
II is the opinion of experts that
the greatest galaxy of college ath-
letes in the history of the annual meet
will be striving for honors at the
stadium next week. One record that
is almost sure to fall is the mark for
the 1o0-yard dash. Keller, the star
of the Cornell sprinters, IL picked as
the favorite in this event. His as
tonishng feat of tearing of the CEN
fury in AS seconds on a muddy
track in the Pen-Cornell dual meet
last Saturday has attracted national
attention tc the Ithaca flyer. Under
favorable conditions his admirers
predict that he will lower Dan Kelly s
untouched mark of 35. Don LIP
pincott, the Pennsylvania Splinter and
Olympic champion. is the man whom
Keller will have to beat.
These two will also fight It out in
the 220.

Irish-Americans
Hope to Win Again
FromNew York A.C.

NEW YORK. May 27.--Members
of the Irish American A. c. are look
ing forward to another big victory
over the New York A. G. at the an
nual outdoor meet of the I, A. A. G.
on Memorial Day at Celtic Park. All
of the big athletic organizations in
greater New York will be represents
ed at the meet, but the battle for
the point trophy is seldom in dam
ger of oeing won by any team ex-
cept those entered by the Irish and
the winged foot organizations.
The Irish-American will depend
upon three stars to corral most OF
the points: Kiviat in the middle dis
lance events: Kolehmainen In the
long runs and Pat Mcdonald in the
weight throwing contests. With
these three supported by a bunch OF
corners, 1t Is hard to concede the more
aristocratic New York A. G. chance
of carrying off the honors of the day.
