mento, Cal. Lubin first presented the
scheme for the foundation of the Interna-
tionai Institute of Agriculture to the
King of Italy. Mr.. Lubin offered his
thanks. but declined to accept the gift,
saying that all the merit for the sue
cess of the institute was due to its presi-
dent. Marquis Rafaele Cappelli. and
therefore the cup should go to him. Mar
quis CappeIli declared he would take the
cup. not for himself. but for the insti-
tUte.
The general assembly of the interna-
tional institute of agriculture was called
TO order later in the day. The Cuban
minister to Italy, DR.. Carlos Manuel de

the work of the institute be translated
into all languages and distributed in all
countries. This was unanimously ap
proved. Ralph w. Moss, representative
from Indiana, went this afternoon on
trip of investigation into the country sur

of malarial land has been accomplished
by peasant co-ooerators from northern
Italy.

CHANCE FOR HANDSOME MEDAL
Compete With Others and Try for

Special: 4 gold medal 10 the school

aud Is who writes the best compo-
oi,iOn, not 20 exceed S01-words, on
The repair and maintenance Of earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director Office of Pub
iic Roads, United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, d. G..
All compositions must 10 submitted
10 Mr.. Page before Nay Is, 1913,
and the medal will be awarded as
o o thereafter rs the compositions
can be graded. The composition
may be based on knowledge gained
from books or other sources, but no
quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
ton 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.
1t is expected that the competition
viii 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 disad-
vantages Of roads made impossible
through a lack OF proper mainten-
ance, and II Is expected that their
interest in the competition will slim
ulate greater interest among the par
ents. Bad roads have prevented
many children from obtaining a pro-
per education and have even pre-
vented doctors from reaching the
side OF rural patients 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 SUI
perintendents Of schools in the rural
districts. No further information
can 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.

A MILD WINTER SAVES MONEY.
Average Snowstorm Costs New York
City $3.50, 900 to Clear Away.
(New York Press.)

The mild winter just past has
saved New York city nearly $780,
600, which would have been. spent in
clearing away the snow in a normal
season.
With only one exception Tin 19O1)
when nine inches of snow fell. the
past winter has been the ,aildest in
the history OF the department. The
snow fall at Christmas amounted to
one foot and cost $25O,OOO to clear
away.
The average snow storm costs
about $4,000 an inch to get rid of.
Rain on a fall Of snow, freezing 1t,
increases the price to $4,000 an
1nch-that is, an inch all over the
city. When the snow is in this state
it has to be picked and consequently
more labor is required.
On the other hand, should the
snow start to melt it can be cleaned
up at 100000 an inch. A furry or a
"teaser," a. 1t is called by the street
cleaning people. is not reckoned, for
that either disappears or is made to
do so by the regular department.
force.
Three heavy and three light falls
of snow are looked for each year by
the street cleaning department, The
first n Is always expected about
Christmas, the second one toward the
end OF January, and the third In
March; the lesser storms in between.
Their expectations are often upset,
for only a few years ago New York
had a 3inch snow In April.
The most expensive year In the
history Of the department was that
of 1906-1907, when the snow reno
val cost $2,45O,644.63. The average
is about $1,50o,O00.

MoNTENEGRINs TAKE sCUTARI.
Mountain Men Capture Turkish
StronEhold-Turks Capitulate.

C~ettinje, April 23.-After a final
desperate attack lasting "a hours the
Montenegrin troops forced their way
into Scutari. The fortress for six
months, since the middle of Octo-
Der, 1912, has offered a stubborn
and heroic defense.
The fierce final assault which gave
the Montenegrins possession OF tie
city which has been the sole object
of their war against Turkey, began
on Monday night. The Montenegrin
army took the offensive along the
entire front. They completely sur
nr'sed the Ottoman defenders by
pushing tight up to the Turkish posi-
lions, wher. they engaged in close
bayonet fghtirg g.
The OttomaI, soldiers made a
number Of count er attacks and tried
with their utnos energy to drive the
attacking force flom their works,
but they were finally compelled to
fall back and lrave their positions in
the hands Of the b~esiegers, who re-
ceived consta 1T achievements.
Troop s Enter City.
1t was mid hight when the Monte
ne grins obtain ed their footing in the
fortress and attachments of the
be siegers entered the city at 4 o'clock
tbs morning.
According to one report, Essaad
Pasha, the Turkish con. ~andn~ i'll
chief, recognized the uselessness of
further resistance after the outlying
key position Of Tarakosh had fallen.
He is said then to have ordered his
troops to cease their defense of the
fortress.
Another report says that the Mon
tenegrin commander-in-chief had
been negotiating with Essaad Pasha
since Monday for the surrender of
the place.
Still another account says that the
Turkish troops defended the city I'M
til the last. Although the Servian
troops did not participate in the final
attack, their artillery was used by
the M~ontenegrin gunners, and it was
said that to this fact their success
was largely due.
Signs Capitulation.
The act of capitulation was signed
by the Turkish commander shortly
after the Montenegrin troops had
reached the center Of the city.
Under the conditions providing
for the surrender of Scutari to the
Montenegrins to-day the Turkish
garrison was permitted to- march out
OF the city with It's arms.
