A GOVERNORS OPINION ON THE
CHICAGO STOCK SHOW.

Governor Cummins, upon being ask
ed to express en- opinion relative to the
International Live Stock Exposition OF
Chicago, which will be held from Nov.
2Sth 60 Dec. 10th, made the following
statements: 1.-The International Live
Stock Exposition has been potent
factor in giving to the live stock in
dustry the position it ought to hold
throughout the West. 1t has brought
into existence many other expositions
of like character in the Mississippi val
ley, and has infused new life into the
science of breeding. In my own state
its effect upon the display of live stock
at the state fair has been so noticeable
that il is everywhere remarked.
Chicago is peculiarly well situated
for such an exposition. It is conven-
lent to the North, South, East and
West. In Chicago, the champion herds
may be assembled 1T tie close of the
annual show season, to contest for final
honors, with minimum trouble and ex-
pense.
II sincerely hope that the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition may con-
tinus its helpful and brilliant career.

Importance Of Drainage.

With On average Of "a, 900 tons
Of water falling in the form Of
rain on each mile Of public road
| in the United States annually, It
il scarcely to be marvelled st
that the ten commandments OF
the road builder can be summed
up succinctly in the word "drain-
age"
The saying has truth for . bas-
is, az good drainage 10 the prim-
ary requisite for all roads. Even
in sand roads this holds true,
for their "good drainage means
such as will safely remove the
storm water without erosion or
outlying and still retain the sur
face moisture.
To secure good drainage one
must take into confederation
both the surface water and the
underground water. The sur
face water must be removed
quickly and completely and with
out subjecting the road to exces-
sive scouY or erosion. For this
reason, the center Of the road
should be raised and the slope
towards the side bitches should
be from one half to one inch to
each foot distance, or SO that the
water will run freely to the side
bitches and not flow down the
road or remain in puddles on the
roadway. The side ditch es
should be OF ample size to care
for the ssverest storms with q
fall of not less than 6 inches to
each 100 feet. Frequent and
ample cross drains should be
constructed and every emporium
ity taken to get the water away
from the road as quickly as pos
sibls. Any road along which you
see water standing in the side
bitches or on which puddles of
water have collected or which
has been badly quilted and erod-
ed by the rains has poor drain
age and is in need of immediate
attention. In fact earth roads
nearly always require little at
tention after each rain. The
split-log drag 10 essentially q
tool to maintain good drainage
on our earth roads, and should
be used after each rain. On a
heavy clay or gumbo soil the
drag, when properly used, tends
to puddle the road surface, keep
it free from ruts, dense, smooth
and hard, thus securing the best
surface drainage possible.
But in many places the under
ground water is too near the sur
face and must be removed before
q good road will be possible.
This means that some form of
sub drainage must be resorted to,
usually tile drains, OF clay or
concrete. Water from whatever
source must be gotten rid of ef-
fectively, for water plus clay or
gumbo invariably equals mud
when mixed in spring and sum-
mer. Water becomes ice in win
ter and as water in freezing ex-
pands one eighth it's volume, the
road heaves out of shape and
when the ice melts the road dis
appears beneath the rising tide
of mud constantly fed by rains,
melting SHOWS and underground
springs.
In seepy and DOGGY places the
sub-drainage, in order to be full
ly effective should lower the
water level to not less than three
feet below the road surface. If
tiles are used they should be
carefully laid, true to grade.
Most failures in tile drainage can
be attributed to carelSssness In
laying, or to fat grade. Tile less
than 4 inches in diameter should
rarely be used, nor should =
grade of less than 6 inches to
the 100 feet be used unless abso-
lutely necessary. In . very

VORYS AS TAFT CHIEF;
DAWES AS TREASURER.
National Committee Likely to Sc
lect Them for the Coming
Work.

\ subcommittee of the new Re-
publican national committee left
Friday night for Cincinnati to
greet William Howard Taft, NOM
inee of the party for President of
the United States. This sub
committee was empowered by the
full committee to select the per-
manent chairman and the treasur-
er. the two men upon whose
shoul lers will fall the heaviest
burdens of the campaign drudg-
cry.
Before the subcommittee de-
parted for the Ohio home of the
nominee there were circulated
credible reports that the Admin
istrat,on forces had decided upon
Arthur |. Vorys of Columbus, O.,
manager of the Taft prenomina-
ton campaign, for chairman OF
the national committee to succeed
Harry ). New of Indiana. A
strong indication that this is the
case was manifested by the fact
that Myron T. Herrick, former
national committeeman from
Ohio attended the new commit
tee meeting and was appointed
on the subcommittee as a proxy
for Mr. Vorys. :
The candidate of the party, it is
said, has declared that he favored
Mr.. Norys for the important post.
While this information came
somewhat as a surprise to the
friends OF Frank Hitchcock, who
managed the Taft maneuverings
in the Chicago convention, Mr..
Hitchcock was reported to be
thoroughly satisfied and not at all
surprised. Mr.. Hitchcock, what
ever happens. will be well taken
care of. in the campaign and will
have an important post, say those
who are close TO the administra-
ton.
Mr.. Norys, who was chosen as
the new national committeeman
from Ohio, has been for years the
intimate political and personal as
socaite of the Secretary of War
and is strongly urged for the ma
tional committee craftsmanship by
Charles p. Taft of Cincinnati, the
millionaire brother of the nom
inee.

writes that in resigning thus early
he rs actuated by a desire to give
the minority ample time to con-
slider whom they want to succeed

if the next House is Democratic

which the position of floor leader
would give hin: during the short

WANT LATIN OUT
OF HIGH SCHOOL
HOW DOES LATIN HELP
ONE TO BE A FARMER?
IS ASKED AT THE
STATE MEETING
OF SUPERIN-
TENDENTS

With an annual attendance of
about 100 members, the fifty
fourth semi annual meeting of
the Indiana County Superinten-
dents Association opened We'd
nesday morning in the chambers
of the supreme court in the State
House at indianapolis. The meet
ing continued Thursday. Matters
of interest to the county schools
of the state were discussed.
At the session Wednesday at
ternoon State Superintendent F.
\. Cotton addressed the members
of the association. Mr.. Cotton
recommended that county super
tendents be relieved from a por-
ton OF their duties by the county
supervisors in the work of grad
ing the pupils. Under the present
regime the superintendent have
practically all of this work to dc,
and in the larger counties the
work IS onerous
Samuel l.. Scott, superintend-
ent OF Clark county, recognized
tEat the appointment Of teachers
for the county schools be made
directly by the state board of ed.
ucation. He suggested that a
board, to act as an auxiliary to the
state board of education, be APP
pointed, and that the county
teachers be appointed directly
from this.
Our country schools belong to
the state said Mr.. Scott, and
| believe that a board, to act as an
auxiliary to the state board, to
have in charge the grading of
county and township teachers,
would be good thing for the adj
vancement OF the interests of our
schools
In the general discussion which
opened before the close of the af-
ternoon session, many of the sup-
erintendents, expressed the belief
that the teaching of Latin should
be eliminated from the county
high schools. The consensus Of
opinion was that if a young man
is going to remain on the farm the
knowledge of Latin will be of lit
tie use to him, and the fact that
a great deal of his time has been
taken up with the study still re-
mains. The fact that the study is
still in the curriculum of the
schools also remains and, many
of the superintendent say, there
is little prospect of its being elm
mated.
