For Better Highways.


Through the efforts of State High
way Commissioner James r. Marker
of Ohio the Bureau of highways of the
national department of agriculture is
to branch out into a new line of ac-
tivity in the promotion Of sentiment
for better country highways. This is
to be done through national exhibits
of good roads at state fairs.
Ohio is to be honored with the first
show at her coming state fair and ar
rangements of an. elaborate character
are being made by Logan w. Page,
national director of highways. Com
missioner Marker will make plans to
enable the showing Of the exhibit to
hundreds of thousands who will visit
the fair.
If the experiment in Ohio is a sue
cess the plan is to be enlarged and
every state in the country is to have
an exhibit. So far all the department
have done has been to send out good
roads trains.

To Save Teachers Fees.

Attorney General Hogan is prepared
to bring suit in mandamus to enforce
his ruling that teachers institutes
have no right to compel teachers to
pay fee to become enrolled for at
tendance.
A teacher attending the Franklin
County Institute, now being held at
Ohio State University, has appealed
to the attorney general for relief from
paying the 81 fee imposed in this
county. Mr.. Hogan has promised her
that he will pay the expenses out OF
his own pocket if necessary.
His suit will be to compel the presi
dent and secretary of the institute
to give her a certificate of attend
ance without payment of the enroll
menI fee.

stocks of dry goods, millinery, clothing,
hats, footwear and fancy goods have
been considerably reduced.

were favorably stimulated by the large
numbers of visitors attracted by the
aviation meet. Wholesale operations
include a wider variety of fall, winter
and holiday goods. and road and mail

BRUTAL SCENE AT EXECUTION.
Young Murderess Fought Like Wild
Beast Against Being GuiIIotined.

Berlin, March 25.-A terrible
scene occurred recently at the
Insterberg (Prussia) prison,
where girl convicted of poison
ing was executed. Trembling
and sobbing bitterly, the unfor
tunate girl was practically car
ried to the scaifold, where she
had to listen to the formal read
ing of the judgment. She was
seized with fit almost of mad
ness when the executioner's as
sistants tried to induce her to
lay her head on the block, and
hurling herself to the ground she
struck wildly at the block with
her two hands, giving vent at
the same time to frightful cries.
All efforts to calm her were for a
long time futile, but eventually
force prevailed and she became
weaker and her hands were tied
behind her back and her head
forced on the block. The exc
cutioner was attired in frock
coat, silk hat and white gloves.
