The War Department has Inaugur
ated a prize essay contest to be writ
ten IYb. 20, 1920. The title of the
essay to be "What are the Benefits
of an Enlistment in the United States
Army?"
Kaon student in eTery school in the
county, (sectarian or non-sectarian)
regardless of race, creed or sex, has
a chance to win one of the priies con
sisting of gold, silver and bronze me
dals, a silver cup as a prize for the
school which the winner attends and
a trip to Washington, D. C. accom
panied by parents or guardian. All
expenses to be paid by the United
States Government.
This contest is being entered Into
with great enthusiasm in many of the
Oregon and Washington school dis
tricts. Local prizes have been ottered
in these districts by bankers and oth
er local citizens. These prizes will be
awarded before the prizes are sent
to the War Department. I trust we
will receive a number of essays from
Morrow county.
The plan for the contest may be
outlined briefly:
On the 19th of next April, a board
of judges consisting of the secretary
of War, General Peyton C. March
and General John J. Pershing, will
announce the names of the three
boys or girls who on February 20,
1920, wrote the best essay on the sub
ject: "What are the Benefits of an
Enlistment in the U. S. Army?"
Then on May 5, 1920, these three
boys or girls, accompanied by their
parents or guardians (railroad fares
and all expenses paid to Washington
and return for both winners and par
ents) will be presented with medals
by Secretary Baker himself.
No essay will be more than 400
words in length and the writing must
be done in the school room. The es
says will be judged strictly on the ba
sis of originality, expression and sin
cerity. Each school will be the judge
of its own product and the best will
be forwarded for entry, not later than
February 27.
"If you want to know if you are
going to be a SUCCESS or a FAIL
URE in life you can easily find out.
The test is simple and infallible.
ARE YOU ABLE TO SAVE MONlil
If not, drop out. Ycu will fail as
sure as you live. You may not think
so, but you wilt. The seed of suo
tess is not in you. SAVE and SUO
CKKH. Buy W. S. S."
The above quotation or bit of phi'.
sophy was sent to this office by the
late Sup t. of Public Instruction,
with the suggestion that some art lea
ther require her pupils to engross
and illuminate that receipt for suc
cess. He says, "It will help the cause
of thrift education very much could
the paragraph be framed and hung
every school room."
It seems to summarize all we have
been trying to teach In the way of
thrift.
Dr. David N. Roeberg Btt out let
ters to the school boards in regard
to vaccination for smallpox.
Since then questions have been
pouring in asking it vaccination will
be enforced in a community where
no smallpox exists.
The following is his answer to the
questions: A copy of the regula
tions sent to each school board ex
pressly intended that vaccination of
all pupils will 'be resorted to only in
communities where smallpox exists.
And even in these communities it is
not desirable to resort to vaccination
of all school children when only one
or two segregated cases of smallpox
are to be found.
"The action was taken to forestall
any general epidemic in any of the
communities in the state, and we re
quested vaccination of school children
only in places where indications
would lead the jurisdictional health
officer to believe that an epidemic of
smallpox was liable to occur."
Another contest is planned and tea
chers and schools are urged to write
upon Health Conservation. Below
are the plans for this contest.

DO YOUR TIRES NEED ATTENTION?
j Have Your Tires and Tubes Received Injuries
f that Should be Attended to?
1 Maybe that left front tire has a break in the fabric and you are
looking for it to blow out a perfectly good tube any day, or
maybe that right rear tire has a bad cut in the rubber which is
allowing the mud and water to rot the fabric or cords.
" Why not have those injuries attended to
while your car is idle?
