ion will them have an opportunity
to compete with the pupils of seventh
and eighth grades for place of Coun-
ty champion who will represent the
county in the state spelling contest.
The divisions of the contest gives
lower grade pupils an opportunity to
compete with pupils of their own
classes for the awards for this di-
vision and also for the county awards.
Awards in both classes will be gold
and silver medals. The officials an
nounce that they want every school
to plan to be represented in the con-
test this year. 1t means a great deal
to the child, the school and the COM
munity to have representation.
If possible to arrange spelling con-
test with other schools, it will slim
ulate the interest and give the chill
dren much valuable practice. Con-
test between the school children and
the adults of the community prove
very interesting and of great value.
Let US get busy now and have each
school work for this contest. The
chief value of the contest of course
does not lie in the winning of the
prize but in the effort eXerted and
each child competing in local or
county contest is benefited thereby.
Representatives from the schools
will be allowed as follows: All
schools with one teacher may have
one representative in each division
of the contest, that is one for the
division of fourth, fifth and sixth
grades and II for the division of
seventh and eighth grades. Each
contestant must be regularly enroll
ed in the grade of the division he
represents. Other schools will be
represented as follows:
Elk Mountain three representa-
tives.
Slavery, four representatives,.
Bags, Tour representatives.
Medicine Bow, four representa-,
tives.
Encampment, four representatives.
McFadden, four representatives.
Dixon, four representatives.
Saratoga, five representatives.
Rawlins, five representatives.
Hanna, five representatives.
ParcO, one representative.
In each school only one represent
alive may be chosen from any grade.
Train children to observe rules of
! spelling contest carefully as several
times spoilers have been eliminated
because of failure to capitalize a
word or failure to pronounce word
before spelling.
In the composition contest the sub

The contestants may prepare on
either one of the the .O subjects.
The composition will be written here
but the contestant may prepare ON
the subject he chooses and may
write as many compositions and have
them corrected and rewritten as the
teachers care to have done in prepar-
alton. We believe that having com
positions written here will eliminate
all question of the originality of the
work. The contestants will receive
numbers and the number only will
appear on his composition when fin
ished. Judges will judge the work
from the standpoint of originality,
form, English, thought, unity and
conference.
Awards will be given contestants
winning first and second places.

lows:

CLEANUP CHECK
MADE SATURDAY
PLACES In CITY

on Saturday last a complete check
was made of the yards, old buildings
fences, alleys and streets in Rawlins
by the Boy Scouts under the direc-
ton OF a committee from the Cham
Der OF Commerce and one from the
Woman's Club. It was found that
there were many very dirty yards
and filthy alleys. In all about 800
cards We're turned in by the Boy
Scouts on which the different items
such as ash piles. rubbish, yards,
broken down fences. dirty alleys and
streets were checked where found.
The residence number was taken and
in a very short time letters will be
written by the city officials to the
various residences checked, notifying
them of the condition of their place.
If these letters are not needed the
city officials will take stringent
means of forcing the people to clean
up their places. However, as it has
been brough out, it is hoped that the
residents will cooperate and not make
fl necessary for the officials to AXE
stringent action.
The check was started by the
Scouts i'm the morning and they com
DIetad their work shortly after noon
tAAbl h4Aa PiNtftA 'NhANo .nEtNlNltu
Off the city and each boy covered the
streets and alleys i'm his section.
From the cards turned in It is found
that there are many dirty yards.
mostly from rubbish and ash piles.
and the alleys in many blocks are in
a terribly filthy condition. Some
of the places have been thoroughly
] cleaned but in others there has been
no attempt to clean up or paint up.
{ Also many old car frames Uttered up
the yards and alleys and much to
the disgrace of many OF the streets
in the down town section old car
frames have been left in the streets.
As some of the remarks on the
cards by the Scouts, one reported
that the s~o-callgd Sugar Creek was
very uusauitary and should be re-
fcrrad to the Board of Health; an
J other 0ue reported that "a certain
house could stand a coat of paint;
others described the nature OF the
rubbish In the yards and alleys.
The city is very grateful to the
help Of the BOY Scouts, the Cham
her of Commerce and the Women's
Club.

May 18th. The men will weigh in AT
about 1870 pounds and will Gght ten
two minute rounds.
Although it was announced last
week that Nobe Ayala would he

that Ayaia's price was greatly in ey-
cess of what the Chamber of Conn

than it was expected that he would
ask. In that the boxing card is be-
ing put on for a benefit fund It was
believed that Ayala would cheerfulIv
cooperate.
The card that Is being offered Is
as attractive as any that has been
scheduled in this section of the state.

credit. His reputation is in the best

COMPLICATIONS ARISE

The settlement of the Tacna-

Peru is yet among the uncertainties.
The report that Peru has made de-
nand upon President Coolidge. who
made the award in which he
stipulated there should be a
plebiscite in the territory. is denied,
but it is stated that Peru has re-
quested that the Chilean garrisons
be removed from the territory prior
to the taking of the vote. claiming
that they are threatening the voters.
Another request is that the
United States shall exercise control
Of the disputed area during the
period Of settlement. but the Presi-
dent acted in his individual capacity
as an arbitrator and our Government
is not implicated. A feature Of the
controversy which agkravates Peru
