GOLD nEDAL
For Best Composition on the Subject
of Good Roads

A gold medal to the boy or girl be-
tween the ages of 10 and ! S 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 Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington D. C. All comp
ositions must be submitted to Mr.. Page
before May is. and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the COM
positions can be graded. The composition
may be based on knowledge gained from
hooks or other sources. but no quotations
should be made.
After many years experience in dealing
with the public road situation of the
country. it is Mr.. Pages belief that igno-
rance on the subject of repair and main
tenance of roads is as much the cause of
their bad condition as any other one fac
tor. 1t is expected that the competition
will bring about better understanding of
the subject of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvant-
ages of roads made impassable through a
lack of proper maintenance and tits ex-
peoted that their interest in the compete
ton will stimulate greater interest among
the parents. Bad roads have prevented
many children from obtaining a proper
education and have even prevented doc
tors from reaching the side of rural pa
tents 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 writ
ten 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 superintendents of schools
in the rural districts. No further informa-
ton can be obtained from the Office OF
Public Roads. This announcement should
be plain to everyone, and all children will
thus start on basis of equality.

appropriated a largo quantity OF securi-
ties and business papers belonging to the
bank and It's depositors, but were un-
able to get into the inner vault, where the
gold and currency were kept.
The bandits fired four charges Of nitro

nIQUANT music and risque comedy
l. are the chief features of "Alma,
Where Do You Live7" which was pre-
sented at the Salt Lake theater last
night by an acceptable company.
Originally the piece was a French
vaudeville by Paul Herve, with music
by Jean Briquet, In its present form
it still retains the attractive music of
Briquet and the pleasantries of Herve,
but added theEeunto we have the broad
humor OF George V. Hobart and the
ragtime fantasies of someone who has
wisely chosen to be anonymous,
The quaint and charming song,
"Alma, Where Do You Jdve9' runs like
a golden thread through the warp and
woof Of the play. It is not US new as
it was, and, therefore, is a trife
tarnished, but nevertheless its strains
fell with pleasant familiarity upon
the ears, Not 30 well known was
the kissing song Of the SMACK,
smack" variety, which is the last
duet between Alma and her sweet
heart. This called for numerous en-
cores that kept Miss Grace Drew and
Charles +. Orr busy for seemingly ff-
teen minutes.

government has gone more deeply into

case, the action against other alleged
