in Golden Belt Oratorisai Contest

In the eight counties represented
in the Golden Belt Oratorical contest
at Hays it remained for Miss lone
Kraus Trego county girl to win
first place. In this contest only the
9Th grade pupils competed. Miss
Kraus has splendid talent and her
Trego county friends feels very proud
of her going away and bringing back
such laurels, for it is no small mat
ter for an 9Th grade pupil whose age
is only thirteen to win first place in
such a large number of counties as
were represented
Her teacher, her friends and the
people of the county generally feel
much gratified net only for the honor
captured for the county which she
represented but for the success which
she achieved as a reader and all hope
that she may have a bright future
before her along this line of accom-
plishment. She was presented with
five dollars this being the prize which
was offered. The World with all her
friends joins in offering her congrat-
ulations-

sequences, anG so evidently designed
Tor the protection of one class of re-
llgionists, that it hardly seems pos
slble that it will find any defenders
outside few radical members of
chat church. If this bill should be-
come law and be impartiaily en-
forced, every religious publication in
this country would be compelled to
refrain from the discussion of any
dogmas and practices other than
those held by the church it represent
ed or be excluded from the mails.
These bills seem to have been pre-
pared on the basis that there were
no existing laws relating to the pub
lication of defamatory or libelous
atterances, although it Is we'll known
that under the statutes governing
these matters any person has redress
in the courts against any publication
which Inay have DETAINED or libeled
him. These laws have been found
su tficient to meet all reasonable de-
mands, and there is no occasion for
this proposed legislation
Each one of the 25O0 loyal churches
in the United States has been stirred
to the Importance of protesting
against these measures, and Con-
gressmen from every state are being
flooded with petitions which have
been signed by thousands of persons
who are in favor of religious liberty
and freedom of the press.
The ministers are awakening their
congregations as to what these bills
would mean should they become a
law and the members individually
are calling upon other church organ
izations to join in the campaign
against the measures Xxx

| teachers was the principal FACTOR IN
determining mileage-now the actual
distance travelled by both visitors and
teachers is alone considered. The
number of miles for the different
counties is as follows:
Logan, 1857; Graham, S713: Cove,
5733; Russell, 4795; Wallace, 415S;
Trego, 1862: Ellsworth, 2333.
Logan county as usual captured
the prize. Trego county won the at

honor, she being county superinten-

deposit one cent in the bank and
double the amount each day. At the
the end of year he hoped to have
enough to buy a little home. Before
starting the husband figured out just
how much would be accumulated in
this way After Iaborious work he
found the amount to be something
