U. S. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT OFFERS
MEDAL FOR BEST ESSAY ON PUBLIG ROADS
-o
Contest Open to Any School Boy or Girl Between
the Ages of Ten and Fifteen Competition
Closes May 15th and Prize Will Be
Awarded Soon Thereafter.
F
R
¥
p
A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of ten and
fifteen who writes the best compo
sition, not to exceed 800 words, on
the repair and maintenance of earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, Office of
Public Roads, United States De
partment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C. All compositions must
be submitted to Mr. Page before
May 15, 1913, and the medal will
be awarded as soon thereafter as
the composition can be graded.
The composition may be based on
knowledge gained from books or
other sources, but no quotations
should be made.
After many years’ experience in
dealing with the public road situa
tion of the country, it is Mr. Page’s
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor.
It is expected that .the competition
will bring about a better under
standing of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the dis
advantages of roads made impass
able through a lack of proper main
tenance, and it is expected that their
interest in the competition will stim
ulate greater interest among the
parents. Bad roads have prevent
ed many children from obtaining a
proper education and have even
prevented doctors from reaching
the side of rural patients in time
to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men
tioned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of
the paper must be written on; each
page should be numbered; the
name, age and address of the
writer, and the name and location
of the school which he or she is
attending must be plainly written
at the top of the first page. The
announcement of the competition
has been sent to the superintend
ents of schools in the rural dis
tricts. No further information can
be obtained from the Office of Pub
lic Roads. This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and
all children will thus start on a
basis of equality.

FOURTH ESTATE (JETS

Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—The
tradition that the “fourth estate”
has to take its pay out in cord
wood and sweet potatoes while the
sugared political plums go to others
has not been carried out so far as
Georgia is concerned by the Dem
ocratic administration. Georgia
newspaper men have got decidedly
the best of it at Washington.

Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—1 t

to talk in 1912. That is the total
amount paid by subscribers to all
telephone companies in the State.
Out of this the telephone compa
nies paid $1,797,466.94 for opera

GEORGIA SUFFRAGETTES
TO EXPLODE FIRST BOMB
Atlanta, Ga., April 24 —The
suffragettes of Georgia are plan
ning to explode their first bomb,
figuratively speaking, under the in
coming Legislature this summer.
It is understood that they are se
cretly having an equal suffrage bill
prepared, and that they have ob
tained the promise of two or three
prominent legislators to introduce
it in the assembly and fight for it.
No matter what happens to the
bill, they propose that every mem
ber of the House and Senate shall
be forced to go on record for or
against it. Then the suffragettes
plan, when the next election comes,
to take the stump against the legis
lators who voted against their
measure.
If they carry out their present
intentions in that regard, Georgia
will be the first Southern State to
witness political scenes such as
