' PATRIOTIC PRIZE ESSAY I le CONTEST FOR HIGH SCHOOLS at , I Unusal interest among the pupils a of Public Schools has been aroused by the announcement of cash prises ^ for the best two esays submitted by ,! the pupils on the subject, "Why Peace is Better Than War." ,s The public spirit and patriotism of Mr. A. F. Davis are responible for 3 this contest which promises to be of. ^ 1 unusual interest. | / Not only is this contest especially ( timely, but it familiarizes the pupils with a lot of valuable information ' a and foster8 in the minds r?f the wnnn?. I * er generation a spirit of patriotism which is broad enough to transcend the limits of a narrow nationalism. ^ Competition! in armaments means the ^ wreck of civilzation throughout the world. The real power back of disy armament is public sentiment and the , surest way of creating such a sentiment is by the early teaching of the uselessness and horror of war. j A calendar entitled "They Shall Beat Their Swords Into Plowshares'' on which is shown a picture in colors of the Conference on Limitation of Armament, held in Washington, has ^ been presented to each class of High r School by Mr. A. F. Davis. It contains fifty or more exceptionally good and life-like portraits of the delegates ? and. representatives of the various \ nations seated, and standing about ' the Conference table at Washington ' ?prominent among them, Secretary Ilughes, Senators Lodge and Under- , wood; Root; Balfour, Briand, Kato, Prince Tokagaw>i of Jajan, Marchienne of Belgium, etc., etc. e There are also portraits f tl.i great World War's heroes, General_Teishing, Field Marshal Foch, -Vdmiraf Beat'y and Gencrel Diaz. Back of the delegates, the silken folds of the Star- Spangled Banner, the Unoin Jack, and the France Tricolor unite with the proud banners of Italy, Japan, Belgium, China, Hol^ land and Portugal. On the wall there is an allegorical group of War's greatest sufferers, a ' figure of Universal Motherhood with a babe in her arms, Agriculture, Commerce, a Gold-star and a Veteran with bowed head who has been through all of war's horror. ( The orginal of the picture was ? painted by J. H. Hintermeister the well-known artist who especially excels in portraiture. Prizes of $5.00 and $2.00 are offered to the pupils under eighteen years of age for the first and second best compositions or essays on the subject, "Why in Better Than War", the calander furnishing the pupil with the inspiration and supplying, the nec- ^ essary data. "It seems to me," said Mr. Davis "that a campaign against the ^ unspeakable horrors of war should be started early. Civilization itself is at stake. The Disarmament Conference was the greatest step toward permanent peace that has ever been , made and the United States has certainly taken the moral leadership of the world. Anything that will pro- , mote the younger generation's fear- | less and unselfish attitude, is well worth while." j 666 quickly relieves Colds end , LeGrippe, Constipation, Bilious, ness and Headaches, ttend SALE i ["ORE ,D ember 8th stmas at Greatly Reduced tds before the season i SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT I One of the' worst automobile acI cidents that ever happened in Chesterfield county occpred last Thursday when Mr. B.
