Harrington, 17, cf 2214 Central avenue, Indiana ulnne* of the Firestone seholp;thip contest. The essay still be sent to a central committee which will select the national winner who will he awarded n four-year university scholarship. The winning essay for Indiana follows : "A country’s prosperity depends on Its commerce—foreign and domestic. But there could be no commercial relations without the means of conveying our natural, agricultural, and manufactured materials to the points of disposal. HEW FA TOR APPEARS. “Any means that tends to facilitate this conveyance ’nereascs the vrlne of our products. The principal means of such transport b ive been the locomotive, lake and river boats, and the horse — drawn vehicle. Now anew factor is rapidly developing. Already the automobile has driven the minor means of transport from active use, and Is fast encroachi ig upon the field of heretofore acknowledged and unrivalled controllers of transportation.
