FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1888
Country Home Magazine Offers
A Series Of Prizes for the
Best Rurdl Writers

The fourth annual contest to
find the champion country news
paper correspondent of the United
States was announced recently by
Wheeler McMillen, editorial direct
or of the Country Home magazine,
national farm publication. Prizes
totaling $500 will be awarded by
the magazine, and the winner,
in addition to getting a trip to
New York and Washington, as in
previous years, will be a guest at
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Editorial association at
White Sulphur Springs, Va.
The contest this year, open to
all country newspaper correspond
entS, will close on May 20, and
the awards will be announced as
as possible thereafter. The first
prize winner will be invited to at
tend the N. E. A. convention at
White Sulphur Springs, which op-
ems June 10, and after that will
spend several days with all ex-
penses paid in Washington and
New York. The contest has e
ceived so much attention since its
beginning that last year the win
ner, Fin Petrie of Opal, Wyo., was
received by President Roosevelt in
Washington and Mayor LaGuardia
in New York and met numerous
other persons in the news.
Another innovation this year
will be the award of a certificate
of merit to the champion cor
respondent of each of the 48
states. This has been arranged
with the assistance of the N. E. A.,
which will cooperate with the
magazine and will make it pos
sible to recognize ability to a wild
er extent than previously.
The annual awards were started
in the belief that there are hum
dredS of men and women in the
country who do a fine job of re-
porting and writing in their local
newspapers, as fine a job in their
own field as do many famous re-
porters on the big city dailies.
The contest is designed to call
attention to these abilities.
Entries for this years awards
should reach the magazine by May
20, and the contest is open TO
country correspondents for papers
in cities of 10000 population or
less.
Entries may be submitted by
the newspaper editors, the writer's
themselves, or by readers. The
board of judges, in addition to Mr..
McMillen, will include William L.
Chenery, editor of Golfers; Miss
Gertrude B. Lane, editor of the
Woman's Home Companion; and
Sumner Blossom, editor of the
American magazine.
Rules of the Contest
Only country correspondents of
rural newspapers are eligible for
awards. A rural newspaper is de-
fined as n published in a town
of 10000 people or less. A country
correspondent is defined as a ru-
raj contributor whose major oc-
cupation is not writing.
All material submitted must be
in the form of clippings, with the
name and address of the CORE
spondent, the name and address of
the newspaper which carried the
item, and the date of publication
plainly written in the margin or
attached to each clipping.

HENDAYE, France, June 2.-The

Teruel-valencia highway appears to
be stalling again before increasing
government resistance.
In many sectors of the mountainous
front which guards the highway to
the Mediterranean coast, government
counter -offensives in the last two days
have recaptured territory lost to
Spanish Generalissimo Frances war
riors.
Heaviest fighting, centered in To-
mile zone from insurgent-held Puebla
de Valerde on the highway itself to-
ward Mora de Rubielos..
Insurgents, who previously claimed
they had taken Mora de Rubieios, re-
ported today they had forced entry
but that government defenders still
were holding to its center, with bitter
fighting continuing on the outskirts.
Despite government resistance the
insurgents said they we're advancing
slowly toward Valencia on two wings
OF the central front, around Mora de
Rubielos and Albocacer.
Gen. Franco visited the Teruel front
yesterday for a staff conference with

Maritime Union Told to
Cease Work on Vessels

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 1.-The National
Maritime Union &C. I. o. ordered a
24-hour labor holiday" of its mem-
bers on 43 American ships In New
York Harbor today.
The seamen were told to stop all
work, except that necessary for main
tenance, on 13 passenger ships and 80
freighters as demonstration against
the international Longshoremen's s
Union GA. F. L., which also seeks to
organize seamen.
According to a spokesman for the
N. M. u, the one-day strike also was
intended to bring pressure on the
various steamship line operators who
have contracts with the N. M. U. to
force the Sheppard Line to keep ~.
NJ U. members in its employ. The
main objective was to obtain the rein
statement as employees of 81 seamen
members now aboard the Sheppard
Lines s. s. Sea Thrush of Brooklyn.
Police headquarters ordered extra
details of police on duty along the
water front to thwart possible violence.
Three passenger ships were sched-
uled to sail for foreign ports today.
They were the American export lines
IS. S. Exchange, bound for the Near
East; the New York-Puerto Rican
lines S. S. Coamo bound for the West
Indies. and the United Fruit lines S.
s. Abangarez, bound for South
America.
Joseph P. Ryan. president of the
Longshoremens. Union. said the call
ing Of the holiday" bore out state
ments made yesterday in Boston by
a special commission of the Msssachu-
sets Legislature that there WAS every
indication that the National Maritime
Union along the Atlantic Coast and
IN the ports of Massachusetts, is con-
trolled by the Communists.
We welcome showdown and are
ready for it," Mr.. Ryan said. I'VE
Will see whether American workmen
will work American ships, or the Com
munists. The Communists have been
using governmental agency to break
up an American union. The National
Labor Relations Board has been doing
the same thing here that it has done
in New Orleans, namely, breaking
legitimate contracts between ship
owners and real unions. We won't
stand for it."
Frederick Myers, chairman of the
N. M. U. District Committee, said
mionism and not Communism was
the issue involved.
Mrs. Gilmore M. Herrick, regional
director of the N. L. R. B., declared
her office was merely enforcing the

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 2.-The
flow of legal liquor had narrowed
down to mere trickle in Kentucky
today with all but nine of the States
81 distilleries temporarily shut down.
The Taylor & Williams Distilleries,
Inc, was the fifty-seventh plant here
to close since January / and the
schenley Products Co. announced
closing of its stagg distillery, at Frank
fort. today.
Large-scale production for aging
purposes shortly after repeal of pro-
hibition and a falling off in demand
were cited as reasons for the shut
downs, but prior to prohibition many
distilleries regularly ceased operations
during the summer.
None of the distilleries here would
estimate how many persons were laid
of, but modern plants employ COM
paratively few men, and estimates of
the number of distillery workers af-
fected ran as low as $500.

schenley Cuts Operations.

NEW YORK, June 2 (R.-Suspension
of operations at three of the six
Schenley Products Co. distilleries and
plans to shut down fourth plant were
announced today by Lester E. jacob,
vice president.
The Stagg Distillery at Frankfort,
KY, was to be closed today, and the
Finch Distillery at Schenley, Pa, will
cease operation June 49,. Within the
last two weeks the Old Quaker Dis
tillery at hawrenceburg, Ind, and the
James E. Pepper Distillery at Lexing-
ton, KY, were closed. 1t was an
nounced the plants would resume
operation when business conditions
justify.
The greatly reduced Schenley opera
ton brought the number of workers
being dismissed in the entire industry
in the United States to more than
10000. Leaders attribute the action
partly to the usual seasonal slump
and partly to sharp falling off In
whisky consumption
Whisky stocks were reported greatest
in the industry's history, in large
measure because heavy production was
undertaken after prohibition repeal
for aging purposes.
