OATMAN WOMAN WINS
 MAGAZINE PRIZE ON
 THE GREAT SACRIFICE

Oatman has won a notable honor in the literary field. or one of Oat-na~'s citizens has won Jnar honor for the camp.
 Sometime ago the American Maga- zine offered prizes for the best short essays or letters on the subject "What I Would Sacrafice for My Country" Over 10000 replies were received and of the entire array of contestants first prize was awarded by the judges to Mrs. Tillie M. Smith, wife of W. K. Smith.
 On the morning that their son Lynne A. Smith left to join the navy, Mrs. Smith sat down in the cottage south of the hotel Grimes and penned the following, which was adjudged to be the best of all the 10000 contributors: The Mother Offers Her First-born Son.
 What would I sacrafice for my country? That question is in the past tense with me. I have already sacri- ficed for my country. What ?Whom :? With the exception of two others who have an equal share in my affections, I have sacrificed the dearest thing on earth to me-my first born son.
 He went away this morning. Half laughing, half crying, he started on a three hundred-mile journey to the re- cruiting station on the coast, there to enlist in the navy to serve his coun- try for the next seven years.
 He is just nineteen, this boy of mine! Six feet of brave, clean Amer ican boyhood. We have played to- gether, danced together, laughed to- gether and occasionally cried together all of his nineteen years. He has been my chum, my playmate and my dear child. I was very young when l married and he came to me and, be- lieving that fun, sympathy and the spirit of youth will hold ones chil- dren when preaching and long faces fail, have held my boy and made home the brightest spot to him and today I gave him. Can one do more for ones country
 Mrs. Smith is a gifted writer of both prose and poetry, having con tributed to many of the leading mag azines and newspapers of the coun- try, and being member of the Den yer Press Club.-Oatman News.
