A PRIZE WINNER
Mrs. w. C. Johnson First in st. Louis
Republic Contest.

Mrs. W. C. johnson, Of this city,
won first prize in the st. Louis Re-
publics lunch box contest last week.
Her prize winning contribution fol-
lows:
"Daintiness is the first requisite Of
any lunch box, so begin with plenty
Of thin paraffine paper, wrapping any
appetizing Republic sandwich in it.
Deviled or hard boiled eggs should be
wrapped separately, so they will not
crush. A custard may be baked in a
ramckin and safely packed at the bot
tom of the box. Tarts and individual
pies are more tempting and easily car
Iried.
Small cheese jars may contain any
kind Of fruit jelly. Lemon and sugar
put in a small bottle to be added to
a glass af water is most refreshing.
"a crisp bit Of celery may be kept
fresh by wrapping in parafine paper
"a handful Of nut meats, slightly
sailed, and, for a small child, a few
matted milk tablets make most &C
ceptabls and nourishing additions"

HANCOCK DEFENDS
CONVICT POLICY
COMMISSIONERS

That the censure which has been
directed against the board of county
commissioners for leasing the con-
victs for work on the Gulf Beach
Highway, instead of repairing the
county roads, is extremely unfair,
was the statement of Chairman Ben
5. Hancock, of the Highway Com
mittee, yesterday.
Mr.. Hancock said that many per-
sons had called his attention to ar-ti-
cles IN newspapers and personal COM
plants against the use of the con-
victs on the road, when practically
the entire system in the county is
disordered since the storm. These
objections, said Mr.. Hancock, are
based generally on the misinforma-
ton of the public as to the many at
tempts of the commissioners to con-
tinue the work, on the roads.
In discussing the final decision of
the board of commissioners for the
use of the convicts on the road to
the beach, Mr.. Hancock said that the
action was taken only after every
other plan had failed, and it was nee
essary either to turn the mules out to
Craze. and place the men m jail
where it would have cost 40 cents q
day for food, instead of the 20-cent
rate when they are at work on the
road, or built the road to the beach
'The board had no funds for car
rying on the work." said Mr.. Han
cock, "and all attempts at borrowing
money on the next years budget
proved failure. The Gulf Beach
Highway Committee was willing tc
lend the board the funds which haC
been raised by subscription last
spring, but was prohibited from do.
ing so by state law We were not
ready to commence work on the road
and had we been would probably
have contracted for the work. But
to assist the commissioners, and al
the same time do actual road work
which would otherwise have been i'm
possible on account of the lack Of
funds, the committee took over the
convict force, and will operate then
without loss to the county"
