Science of Better pairyina.

That the science of better dairying
is to receive much more attention in
Ohio is indicated by the fact that the
Ohio State university has laid partic-
ular emphasis OIL the subject in the
programs for the agricultural extern
sion work being prepared for the COM
ing winter. Some of the most promi-
nent men in the faculty of the school
have been assigned to this work
Prof Oscar Err, head of the dairy
ing department and author of a man
ual on dairy methods, will be the chief
of these. In most communities where
the extension work will be carried on
he will deliver two lectures-"Rea-
sons for Dairying" and Feeding and
Breeding Dairy Cattle" The i'm
portance of the industry is growing in
Ohio, and the educational authorities
feel that they are only keeping apace
with the times by devoting consider
able attention to it.

been composed of four regiments
and smaller organizations, now will
each have but three regiments. The
organizations detached from them will
either be known as unattached in
fantry or auxiliary troops. Under the
new order the First brigade, COM
manded by Gen. w. v. McMacken OF
Toledo, will be composed of the Sec
ond. Third and Sixth regiments. The
old First regiment OF Cincinnati and
vicinity, which was cut down to two
battalions, is taken out of this bri-
gade The Second regimens, COM
manded by Gen. John G. Speaks of Co

Fifth and E;yhth regiments The
Seventh regiment is detached and as
signed as unattached infantry. The
other unattached organizations are the
First and Second separate battalions,
formerly of the First regiment, and the
Ninth battalion, colored troops. The
organizations designated auxiliary
troops are Corps of Engineers, First
squadron of cavalry, field battalion,
signal corps and sanitary troops. The
Ohio National Guard is now on a per-
feet war footing, and in case it should
be called into the field for service for
the country no change would be neces-
sary in it's formation to take its place

whenever needed. They can be called

MANY WOULD SEEK
STATE POSITIONS
0hioans Await Decision of
Supreme Tribunal.
Laws FATE RESTS WITH COURT
Those Who Are vitality Interested In
TWO Acts Are Hopeful That the
Court viii Sustain Action
of Secretary Graves.
Special columbus correspondent.

Columbus, Ohio.
I'm every county in the state ambi-
tious patriots who want to fill tax
commissioner jobs are looking for
ward with eager anticipation to
the decision of the supreme court,
which is expected soon, on the ques-
tion of whether Secretary of State
Graves acted within his authority in
throwing out the petitions for referen-
dums on the Warnes and Fitzpatrick
taxation laws. The fate of these laws
rests with the supreme court, and con-
siderable speculation Is being INDUCED
In regarding what position the court
will take respecting these measures.
Those who are most vitality interested
In the laws are hopeful that the court
will sustain the action of the secretary
Of state in rejecting the referendum
petitions, and pin their faith on this
because of the revelations of fraud
shown in the procurement of names for
the petitions. If the court upholds
the action of the secretary of state
both laws, which have been held up by
the referendum petitions, will go into
lulu1SuldJS tutCl1 anu lue very ueAI
day after the decision is given job
hunters from all over the state will
come trooping to Columbus to get the
ear of Gov. Cox and tell him what
excellent tax commissioners they
would make. The counties of smaller
population will have one commits
sioner, who will be a Democrat, but
the more populous ones will have two
commissioners, one Democrat and
either Bull Mooser or a Republican.
The Republicans are hoping that they
will fare better in the distribution of
the minority party patronage in the
appointments than they did in the
county liquor license commissioner
places. Two-thirds of these appoint
ments were carried off by the Moosers.
The state tax commission makes the
appointment of county commissioners,
subject to the approval of the governor.

in this case and the one submitted
early in the week involving the ques-
tion of the right of the secretary of
state to throw out the referendum on
the Warnes and Fitzpatrick taxation
laws by not later than next Tuesday
morning, when the court will hand
down decisions, as usual The vets
declare that the measure is unconsti-
tutional, and that it was not submitted
properly and hence should not be re-
ferred to the people.
