Movement for
the Orphans

In the State Of Ohio there many
little children who for various rea-
sons have been dereft of parents.
They have an unspeakable heart
hunger for that parental love and
sympathy which cannot he found in
an orphanage.
Many of the best citizens of Ohio
have great longing for the affection
and love Of promising child, be-
cause they are childless.
The Board of State Charities,
through it's Children's Welfare De-
partment, is seeking to bring them
together.
Under the new Children's Code, the
Juvenile Court Judges are permitted
to commit dependent children direct
to the Board Of State Charities. 1t is
| probable that most of the children
thus committed will be sent from
counties where there is no local chill
dren's institution.
In addition to the children commit
ted direct to the Board of State Char
tiles, some of the County Children's
Homes have requested the Board to
assist in securing suitable family
homes for such of their children as
are orphaned or for other reasons
cannot be returned to their own
parents.
The Board of State Charities has
arranged to have every child upon
reception given thorough physical
and mental examination. It is also
making an effort to secure an exten-
sive family history, in order that il
may be determined, as far as possible
that the child to be placed in the fam.
lily home is mentally and physically
normal.
Any person interested in taking
into his home one of these children il
requested to communicate with the
Ohio Board of State Charities, Chill
dren's Welfare Department, Colum
bus. Upon receipt Of such letter, 8
reply will be mailed with forma
application blank.
| Before the placement Of a chile
with any family, representative o.
the Board will call personally upol
the applicant. This makes possibl,
a suitable adjustment of the child Il
the family.
Raard is making an appeal TO-
homes .cod. families for children o
ALL ages.

Pythian Sisters
After Council

Contracts have ell been let for the
building of the Pythiar Sisters home
and it lies with the village council
whether ground is broken for the SUBJ
structure within the next two weeks,
according to word received by Mayor
Gehman on Wednesday from Hattie
Mott, president of the Sophia Hunt
ington Parker Home organization,
Cleveland. =
A communication from Mrs. Esther
Frank, secretary, under date of Aug.
8, to the secretary of the local board
of trade, also states that it is the pur-
pose to begin active work in the near
future, but that the matter rests with
Medina in the way of securing sewer,
water and gas extension to the home.
No work will be done until this is
guaranteed by the council.
Architect Robinson is expected here
next Tuesday to confer with the board
of trade. AS the council will be in
session Tuesday night it is likely that
Mr.. Robinson will be present at their
meeting also. 1t is understood that a
protest will be registered by certain
residents against the proposed ex-
tension, not because of their unwill-
ingness for the improvement in it's
self, but because of what they regard
as an inequality in the amount of as
sessment per foot frontage. When the
present sewer system was installed
the village bore from 28 to 33 per cent
of the entire cost. In the present pro-
posed extension council has legislated
one-fiftieth per cent as the villages
portion of the cost. The contention
of those who will protest next Tues
day night will be that they should be
required to pay no greater per cent
age than was exacted from property
owners when the original plant was
installed.

PrOductiveness
By Good Roads

That an improved road Will In
crease vastly the productiveness OF
the area through which it runs has
now been satisfactorily demonstrated
by studies conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
Virginia. Conditions in Spotsylvanis
County were investigated with par
ticular care, and the results have
proved surprising. In 1909 the
county voted 100000 to improve 40
miles of roads. Two years after the
completion of this work the railroad
took away in IL months from Fred
ericksburg, the county seat, 1900
tons of agricultural and forest pro-
ducts hauled over the highways to
that town. Before the Improvement
of the roads this total was only49, 900
tons annually; in other words, the
quantity of the county's produce had
risen more than As per cent. Still
more interesting, however, is the in
crease shown in the quantity of dairy
products. In 1909 these amounted to
114,815 pounds, in 1911 to 273,O2S
pounds, an increase of practically 140
per cent in two years. In the same
time shipments of wheat had increaS-
ed SO per cent, tobacco 81 per cent,
and lumber and other forest products
48 per cent.
In addition to this increase in guam
tity the cost of hauling each ton OF
produce was materially reduced. In
other words, the farmers not onsy.pro-
duce more, but produce more rheaply
for the cost of transportation to mar
ket is of course an important factor
in the cost of production. From this
point of view, it is estimated that the
$100, 900 spent in improving the roads
in Spotsylvania County saved the
farmers of the county $4,000 year.
In the past two years the traffic
studies of the Federal experts show
that approximately an average Of
$4,000 tons of outgoing products were
hauled over the improved roads in the
county an average distance of miles,
or a total of $4,000 miles," Be-
fore the roads were improved it was
estimated that the average cost Of
hauling was 20 cents a "ton-mile," "
after the improvement this fell to IL
cents a "ton-mile," or a saving Of 8
cents. A saving of 8 cents per mile
on $4,000 "ton-miles" is $41,000 a
year. The counties investment Of
| 100000 in other words returned a
dividend of 40 per cent annually.
i Because this savings In cases of
this character, does not take the form
of cash put directly into the farmers
pocket there is widespread tendency
to believe that it is fictitious profit,
while as a matter of fact it is just as
real q source of profit as an increase
in the price cf wheat.
| In Dinwiddle County, w. Va, for
example, where peanuts are one Of
the staple crops, the average load for
two mules on a main road was about
1000 pounds before the road was i'm
proved. After it's improvement the
average load was found to be 1000
pounds, and the time consumed in
hauling the larger load to market was
much reduced. In other words, one
man with a wagon and two mules
could do more than twice as much
work with the improved road than
with an unimproved road. This is
. the explanation of the extraordinary
rise in the total output of agricultural
products in county with good
road system.

for twelve or fifteen years, knows the
conditions in the county and had, ac-
cording to my Information, given en-
tire satisfaction. Mr.. Breedin has been
away from the county for ten or twelve
years, having only returned to the
county about eight months ago. l
thought at this time, when the county
was to be divided into club districts,
their boundaries to be given and a
great deal of work and responsibility
resting upon the committee, that it
would not be an opportune time 10
make change, and especially to select
a man who has been living in the coun-
ty for so short period after being
away for SO many years.
In so far as factlonal politics are
concerned I never heard it minated
until after the adjournment of the COM
mittee that the vote for secretary was
To be considered as a test of the
strength of the Senatorial candidates.
My understanding is that the executive
committee stands II for Blease to IS for
Smith, and if this is correct, and it was
q factional division. it would not have
been necessary for me to have voted,
as Mr.. Breedin would have been elect
ed by vote of l5 to II.
''Furthermore, l do not think the
executive committee is the place Tor
factional politics; this committee is
supposed TO represent the entire Dem
ocracic party OF the county and its pro-
ceedings are to be fair and impartial,
and as long as I am chairman of the
committee it shall be my purpose to be
absolutely fair and impartial in my vote
and rulings.

ENROLL NOW,

The books of enrolment are
now opened and it behooves ev-
cry white man entitled to the
rights of citizenship to make it
his business to go to the secre.
tary OF his club, and enroll his
name. This is no light matter,
it means much, and the man who
will not take the trouble to ex-
ercise this privilege cannot
blame others when he realizes
that he has lost his privilege to
a voice in the selection of those
who are to fill public positions.
This is not a matter of candl'
dates, the choice of candidates
comes up at the ballot box in the
primary election, therefore, it
matters not to tho voter which
club his name appears: his right
to make his own selection is not
abridged, and we'll is it so, be-
cause If the clubs were confined
to any particular candidates or
set of candidates, it would be
impossible to have anything like
a proper enrolment.
Too much stress cannot be
placed upon the Importance OF
getting the names upon the
proper roll books. The State
Executive Committee has pro-
vided the necessary books, and
the manner in which they shall
be kept, this was done at con-
siderable expense, and when
these books are ready to be turn
ed over for the County Commit
tees scrutiny it will be an easy
matter to know whether the law
has been complied with.
The only danger we can see
from the present arrangement
will come from the Indifference
of those entitled to be enrolled,
if every man will but appreciate
how important it is to him to ex-
ercise the right of a citizen there
will be nobody disfranchised.
Read the club district boundar-
les as they are published, these
will indicate where a voter IS
entitled to be enrolled, then go
to the secretary of that club and
comply with the rules. Wei
think it the duty of citizens to
look after the enrolment of vot'
ers especially, since the change
has been made in the rules, be-
cause, it is not the desire to keep
any white man from enjoying
his rights, and while We may not
all agree upon men or measures
we should agree upon having a
full, fair, and proper enrolment
of the voters, not only in the
county but throughout the State.

the overtures Of those who are
filled with greed, hypocrisy and
spleen, the conditions will be
greatly improved.
The correspondent TO The
News and Courier from Manning
sent a report Of the meeting OF
the County Executive Committee
to his paper in which he
gave what appeared to be a
factional turn to the result OF
the election of the secretary.
The Times account disagreed
with the correspondent, and it
claimed the election of the
secretary had no factional sig
nihcance, but the correspondent
assumed, because we did not see
the matter as he did. and so ex-
pressed ourself IN these columns,
that The Times attempted
to discredit him and he
goes back to the columns of The
News and Courier with the fol-
lowing letter.

Why all the Smith supporters did not

of knowing. I have only the state
ment of the Times that such was the
case. do know as further fact,
however, that there were expressions
of satisfaction on the street at the out
come of the election on the ground
that it forced the county chairman TO
show his hand. Perhaps the editor OF
the Times would dispute that state,

to. have never allowed my personal
