' Chance to Win Gold Medal.
A gold medal to the school boy or girl
between the ages of 10 and 15 who writes
the best composition, not to exceed 800
words, on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, is to be warded by Ldgan
Waller Pace, Director, Office of Public
Roads, United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, I) C. All
compositions must be submitted to Mr.
Page before May 15, 1913, and (he medal
will be awarded as soon thereafter as
compositions can be graded. The com
position may be based on knowledge
gained from books or other sources, but
no quotations should be made.
After many years' experience in deal
ing wiili the public road situation 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 com
petition will bring about a better under-
derslanding of the subject of repair and
maintenance in the rural districts.
Many children livinj; in the rural
districts have experienced the disadvan
tages of roads made impassable through I
a lack of pioper maintenance and it is
expected that their interest in the com
petition will stimulate greater interest
among the parents, ltad roads have
prevented many children from obtain
ing 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 mention
ed, attending a country school, may
compete. Only. one side of the paper
must be written on; each pape should
be numbered; the name, age, and ad
dress of the writer, and the name and
location of the school which he or she
is attending must be plainly written at
the Up of the first page. The annouce-
ment of the competition has been sent
to the superintendents of schools in the
rural districts. 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.

Founded The Southern Rail
road.
The Board of Directors of the South
ern Railway Company, meeting upon
April 11, 1913, unanimously adopted the
following minute:
John Pierpont Morgan, founder of the
Southern Railway, died at Rome, Italy.
March 31, 1913. after a long life, lull of
distinguished honors and abounding in
benefit to mankind. His noble charac
ter and his splendid career justly have
received recognition In every country
and from rulers and people alike. No
citizen of this Republic without official
position of any kind ever has attained
such eminence, and none deserved it
more. Ilis fame, illustrious in his life
time for great achievements greatlv
planned, will abide in theyearttocome,
for it was founded up m integrity and
maintained by devotion to high princi
ple. To this general recognition of his
personal character, the Directors of the
Southern Railway Company must add a
special and particular tribute, for. to Mr.
Morgan more than to any other is due
the creation and the development of the
Southern Railway, one of the first of the
many reorganizations justly identified
with his name. From the beginning it
engaged and it never has failed to re
ceive his wise guidance and bis constant
and liberal assistance. Through his fos
tering care it has grown to its present
proportions, attesting the soundness of
his forecast, and the public service ren
dered in his rescue and support of this
important instrumentality of commerce
which has contributed not only to the
beneficial development of the Southern
country, but also more broadly to hu
man welfare in making permanent pro
vision for the honorable livlihood of
vast body of employees and their fami
lies.
The members of this Board share with
the worldwide publio in a sense of per
sonal loss, and in extending to the fam
ily of Mr. Morgan the assurance of res
pectful sympathy.

was $709 for the last fiscal year. '
Age limit, 21 years and over on the

Bond-Secured Currency.
During the Civil War the Federal
Government found itself upon the verge
of bankruptcy. It could not find a mar
ket for its bonds. In that emergency it
decided to create a market ty making
the bonds the basis of note isues by the
National banks. Issues by State banks
were made impossible through the im
position of a 10 per cent. tax. It was an
arbitrary derision, and it created an ar
tificial market, but it was justified by
the extremity of distress in which the
Government was then involved.
The situation which justified that
unusual step has long since passed. The
bonds of the United States are now sal
able anywhere. No other great nation
has so small a per capita Government
debt. No other civilized nation has
such a banking system. It is the cause
of the inextricable confusion between
commercial and investment banking. It
is in part the cause of the vast and dan
gerous concentration or money power
and money credit in Wall Street.
We should reform our currency sys
tern along wilh our banking system. We
should supplant our present crazy-quilt
currency with a onifitd and flexible
medium of exchange, based primarily
on gold.

Good "Ad" For Richmond.
Under a well-printed picture of the
public square of Richmond, the Chris
tian Science Monitor, published at Bos
ton, contain the following concerning
the best little city in all Kentucky:
This city of 7,000 people is .located in
the heart of the Blue-grass region. It is
a seat of learning, containing the East
ern Kentucky State Normal school and
the Madison Institute for girls, as well
as an excellent city school. It is in a
rich farming section, exporting fine
cattle, horses and livestock of all kinds.
It is also the center of the tobacco grow
ing industry, and has two large ware
houses, which sell annually 10,000,000
pounds of leaf. The town is located in
a historical section, where much of the
early frontier Indian fighting occurred.
In the Main square is the statue of a
pioneer, with a public fountain, reared
by David R. Francis, of Missouri, in
honor of this, his birthplace. The court
house lawn is decorated with a slab of
stone on which Squire Boone carved his
name in the latter part of the eighteenth
century. The' business and residence
sections of the town are handsome and
well kept, in keeping wilh the traditions
of the old families who live here.

The Secret of Honest Values
A number of years ago, in looking over business conditions, we came to
the conclusion that our greatest asset was not our stock in trade or cash
in the bank, but our customers' good will, our reputation for good values
and square dealing. We determined to make the name "Cldham" stand
as a synonym for "QUALITY" to stand back of our goods and to see
that the goods we sold were right. In studying our sources of supply,
we found that some makers did business that way too; and some did not.
Rut the ones we could rely on were the ones who put their NAMES in
their goods and said always "These are ours, we made them, they'ie
right and we will stand behind them"
