FERGUS STUDENT
HAS BEST ESSAY
Winning Composition shows
Unusual Treatment for
Hi School Student

Bozeman, Mont, May 1-(AP)-
Writing on a subject chosen out of
a list of 10, with a two and a half
hour time limit, Joan Wilson, Fer
gus County high school student,
produced an essay that won the
annual extempore writing contest
at Montana State college and was
characterized by Prof. w. f.
Brewer, head of the college Eng
lish department, as a beautiful
and unusual treatment of an I'M
usual subject"
The essay, entitled ''The Great
Open Spaces as | have Known
Them" follows:
"Over the green young earth, the
soft fingers of the mist spread,
and gathered the land in their
caressing hold Great drops of
rain lie on the sheets Of cactus,
and the sagebrush is sparkling,
new-washed in the spring rain.
The dusty faces of the rocks are
washed clean and the young grass
is fragrant. The far stretches of
the land are curtained by the low
hanging clouds. The world is in
innate, near, shut in by silvery
| streams of rain.
"Wiggly, %irridescent waves of
heat stretch from cliff to cliff. The
sky, a cleaning blue ceiling, hangs
| over a parched earth. The sage
brush is heavy with dust, and the
d~un-colored grass is shrivelled. The
clay on the sides Of the coulees is
shot with great cracks, like mouths
hanging open..-- The sun beats
down on a thirsty earth.
.
"Yellow sunshine of white snow
Little prisms of light shoot from
the hillsides. A rock projects thru
the snow, and makes a patch of
alien brown. A stray dog, dirty
yellow, ambles over the white
ground, leaving uneven brown
tracks. A rabbit, hardly discern
ible against the snow, crouches
near a bush.
"Great soft flakes drop softly
from a high white sky. They fall,
and lose themselves on the white
ness of the earth. A lonely pine
is completely covered with soft
white down. Sky and air and
prairie merge in a mass of white.
"The sky is a great black roof
and the moon a yellow chandelier
suspended from it. A band OF
horses neigh to one another in the
soft darkness, and little blinking
stars hang down from the dense
blackness of the sky. A little
bresze signs across the grasses
and a startled rabbit darts thru
the brush. The night is still.

The rocks hang low; the grass is

RAIL OFFICIALS

lard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, in making the presentation of
the wage cut proposal, had referred to
the value of railroad properties as rs
or 26 billion dollars; whereas exhibits
in the recent IS per cen freight rate

showing a great increase in the profit
to the railroads out of the work of
each employe.
The argument that wages should be
reduced because the cost of living wa.
lower could not be accepted by the
working man, Robertson said. The
comparison made by the presidents
was with living costs in 1913, and the
spokesman said labor could not per
nit the standarde Of living of today
to be compared with a time when the
average rail worker had only 81 a day
with which to support his family.

reduced, such as cost of insurance

ROSENWALD

ROSEN WALD
Because a man named Scar, proved
that he could sell lightweight cloth
ing by mail, a manufacturer of sum-
mer clothes named Julius Rosenwalo
invested $4,000 in the firm of Sears
Roebuck and Company. Mr.. Rosen-
valid died a few days ago, leaving an
estate which may run to a hundred
million dollars.
A number of years ago Mr.. Rosen-
valid personally took me on a tout
of inspection of the great mail-order
house of which he was the head, and
which now sells nearly two hundred
million dollars worth of merchandise
a year. He asked me to guess what
particular line they sold most of. He
knew l would guess wrong, as every
body does. The largest single item of
Sears Roebuck sales is shoes-or was
then.
Mr.. Rosenwald was a great mer-
chant, but he was more than that, he
was a great man. He had the feeling
that he was not the actual owner OF
the profits from his business, but q
trustee whose duty it was to return
that money to the public from which
it came, in the form of schools, hos
pitfalls and other philanthropic en-
dowments.
FRANKLIN
l got a letter the other day from
an organization which calls itself "The
BENJAMIN. Franklins." Printed on the
letterhead were the names of a hundred
Or so members, every one of whom
has he letters "B. F." as his first mi
tials. Benjamin Franklin has been deac
142 years, but parents still name theil
sons after him, and in America they
probably will continue to do so til
the end Of time.
If | were asked to name the one
man whose work, teachings and ex-
ample have exercised the most endur.
ing influence on the people of thu
United States of America, | would
have no hesitation in naming Benja
min Franklin.
AIR
A firm of household furnace manu-
facturers has put on the market al
air-conditioning system for use in in

have any open windows, but the al
will always be fresh, properly humid
fled and at a comfortable temperatur

I fully expect that the replacemen
of present heating and ventilatin

air-conditioning systems will be on
of the biggest industries in the Unit
ed States within. two or three years.

Conditional
Contract Let For. 1882;
Fair Officials Are At-
brebensive.

North Carolina's annual fair may
not be held this year because of in
sufficient funds, it has been announc-
ed.
Hoping, however, that this will
not be necessary, the state board of
agriculture has closed a conditional
carnival contract.
The contract was awarded to the
William Click Shows, Inc, subject,
however, to cancellation, even as late
as June 1, in the event it is decided
that a fair will not be held.
Decision to handle the matter in
this ann followed a conference
with the budget commission. 1t was
found it could not be definitely de-
termined whether the fair will be held
this year due to the financial stress.
The agriculture board voted not to
make any contracts for free acts al
though a number of bidders were
present at the meeting.
Members of the board assured Com
missioner w. A. Graham they would
give him and Governor Gardner their
hearty support in working out plans
for readjustment to meet the present
financial crisis.
