MKER ACROSS CONTINENT HERE
F E. Roger of Now Vork City an
old-time printer and who is a contes-
tant in an Old Man's Endurance Hike
across the continent was in Beaver
Saturday having made this point en
the sixty-ninth day out from New
York City walking every step of the
distance. The record he has to beat is
150 days. He was more than half way
acrors when he reached Beaver and
was ahead of time. If he covers the
distance in better than 160 days he is
rewarded with $3000 which Is the prize
olTered by Randolph Hearst of the
Hearst publicatiohs If not he hoes
not receive one cent A part of the
stipulations of the contest was that he
should leave New York City without a
cent of mono and that he was not to
beg borrow or steal anything along
the way to help him reach IiIb goal.
He is permitted to accept free-will of-
ferings and to let it be known that he
can accept such. Needless to soy this
office gave him n lift for any time an
82 year old "journey-man" comes this
way be he hiker or not and has need
of assistance we are glad to help. In
Washington D. C Mr. Rogers met
President Harding for whom he used
to work many years ago. He is now
with the New York World and when
at home on activo duly every working
day. He said ho wns enjoying the
hike was growing younger every dny
and Bhould he be successful in this con-
test expects to make his next trip tho
North Tole. He looked equal to the
emergency.

wonderful talent when seeing a man

The country does want It. The
people are hungry for more educa-
tion better education. They de-
mand better schools better teach-
ers better courses. Thoy have a
right to ask their Central Govern-
ment for help aid and support of
their own educational programs.
Tho people realize now as never be-

and only education can prevent
l-jllnr conflicts; that thiough edu-
cation comes peace plenty prosper-

The Towner-Sterling bill Is not
