The governments receipts from the

good roads advocates that a 25 per

ously by consumers of tobacco and
malt and spurious liquors, while the
additional revenue, estimated at $780,.
100000, would give an average of near

If the amount raised in each state
were proportioned back to it, Ohio
would get $5,O00,0O0 a year from the
national government for roads.

Among the passengers on down.
town car the other evening were fat
man, lean man, who proved to be
deaf, and couple of giggIy girls. On
one of the side streets German band
was engaged in making life miserable
for the residents Of the neighborhood.
The fat man shifted uneasily in his
seat and remarked sarcastically to ths
lean man in a low tone, "Music!"
The lean man put his hand to his
ear and said, "Eh?"
Music" repeated the man in loud
er tones.

said the lean man.

that the passengers all Uttered and
the little giggly girls all grew red in
the face.
"Oh," said the lean man as he
turned around and looked about him.
The little German band was out OF
sight by this time, and the passengers
laughed immoderately at the vain at
tempts of the unfortunate man to find
the object of the fat mans comments
Fat men are proverbially good ma
tured, and by that time the oddity OF

particular fat man.

laugh. Our friend saw fully as much
music as you and heard"

has met with opposition at several
teachers institutes.
"Out of 1853 Ohio townships only
1856 have supervision" said Mr.. Miller.
my plan is to have supervisors over
the larger townships and, in cases
where townships are small, to have
one supervisor over the schools of sew
eral. This would give one in author
ity an opportunity to get in close per-
sonal touch with teachers and their
methods. About 80 per cent. Of coun-
try school teachers are new in the

All vestige of power that city coun-
ellis have claimed over telephone COM
pauies was swept away by the deci-
sion of the circuit court in the suit
brought against the Tiffin Consoli-
dated Telephone Co.
A Tiffin complainant had sought an
injunction to prevent the companies
charging higher rates than those fixed
by the council The burden of the
courts decision was that telephone
companies are not under the jurisdic-
tion of city councils, the legislature
having given power to the public serv-
ice commission.

To Enforce Sanitation.

Sanitary summer resorts are to be
the aim of the state board of health.
Decision to take up the question has
been made after several mon hs' con-
sideration. The aim, as expressed by
Acting Secretary Bauman, is that the
board of health may be able to tell
the people which resorts are sanitary.
They may, he explained, avoid the
others.
Under the plan that has been out
lined the board will have every resort
in the state inspected thoroughly early
in the new year. The recommenda-
tions of the inspectors will be sent
to all proprietors and a reinspection
will be made after April /, thus CIV
ing managers ample time to comply
with the boards suggestions.

Save Money for State.

Shortly after its organization the
state board of administration of state
institutions put forth a rule that en-
ployes of state institutions were not
to enter their friends at meals at the
expense of the state. The board
checked up the expenses of the state
institutions and compared them with
last year, before the rule went into
effect. President Thurman pointed
out decrease of $4,000 in the cost of
food at the penitentiary, and claimed
the prisoners had been fed better than
before and that sum still was saved.
He also pointed out the fact that the
institute for the deaf was saving ST.
900 month.
