main market road the road between
East Palestine, Columbiana county,
and Alliance, Stark county, and as
result of this the state will bear one
half of the cost of its improvement
This road is to be a part of the Lin
coin highway, and it's completion will
establish first class entrance into
Ohio from Pennsylvania through Pitts
burgh. 1t will connect with the i'm
proved road going through Canton
from Alliance. Col. w. H. Morgan of
Alliance was chairman OF delegation
from the three counties that visited
the governor Monday afternoon in the
interest of the improvement. H. B.
Firestone, the big Akron tire manu-
facturer, who has property in Colum-
biana county, was with the delegation.

Columbiane State Highway Commits
sioner Marker will send engineers to
make survey of the improvement and
to estimate the cost soon. He thinks
that the improvement will cost in the
neighborhood of S250,000
Mo Gambling or Booze.
Gambling, cane ring games and the
sale of booze must be tabooed at all
county fairs hereafter This is the
dictum of the state agricultural COM
mission. Complaints have been made
that there are practices Of these kinds
at number of fairs. Any fair which
offends in the future will not receive
the per capita tax, which runs as high
as $500, and is paid by the state. The
commission will not wait for com
plants to be filed to ascertain if its
order is being disobeyed, but will send
! out its inspectors to fairs which have
been in the habit of allowing gambling
and the sale of intoxicants to enforce
it's mandates. Each county fair must
be run just as clean and wholesome
as the state fair is conducted" said
S. E. Strobe, one of the commissioners.
Subject to Child Labor Law.
Telephone and telegraph companies
are subject to the child labor law and
may not employ girls under 16 and
boys under Is, so Attorney General
Hogan holds in ruling to the state
industrial commission. Because these
utilities are not specifically mentioned
| in the new law the claim was made
/ that they were exempt from its ioper-
alton. The state shop inspector re
ceived copy of the ruling Tuesday
and has instructed his deputies to see
that the companies affected by it com.
ply with the law.
For Eastern Standard Time.
Eastern standard time for all Ohio
is proposed by Cleveland in request
made to Gov. Cox for law to provide
for this. This would advance the
present time one hour and would pro
long daylight just that much longer in
the evening. If the change is not
made for the whole state, the request
is made that it be provided for the
city in the hope that later other cities
will adopt this kind of time.
Plum Tree Is Shaken.

nounced that his secretary, Franz
