WINTER CARE OF ROADS
DRY ROADS WILL NOT HEAVE
Keep bitches and Drains Open and Use Road Drag
To Prevent Injury by Freezing Weather.

in good cond ticn, the chances are ex
tremoly favorable that it will come
out all right the following spring.
Keep the lditches and drains open
/ Remove all Accommodations OF weeds
grass, etc which tend to retain mos
ture and oostruot drainage. Further
more, do this work early, while the
grodnd is still dry and hard Vegeta
ton and litter hold water like a
sponge and allow il gradually to soak
in and soften the earth. The JOB be.
fore the road man is to keep the hard,
dry surface formed in the summer
time from becoming softeLed by the
fall and winter rains and SHOWS.
When the fall rains begin the earth or
gravel road should be dragged fire.
quently to prevent the formation of
ruts and the collection of water. All
raveled places on macadam surfaces
should be carefully filled in and con
solidated.
During the winter, whenever thaw
is coming on, the cross drains and sldt
bitches should be opened up as far as
possible so as to prevent water collect
ing along the roadway. If the thaw is
coming on, the cross drains and side
bitches should be opened up as far as
possible so as to prevent water collect
ing along the roadway. If the thaw
is so pronounced that the roadway Is
softened, the drag should be used;
sometimes one round trip of the drag,
with the hitch reversed. will entirely
rid the earth road of slush aud melting
snow and leave the road surface prac-
tcally dry. Don't get the idea that
the drag is not needed on your earth
and gravel roads in the winter time.
Instead, keep it where you can get at
it readily, for if the winter is an ordl-
airy one you will need it many times:
Winter destruction begins in the
early fall. The best way to prevent
such destruction is to forestall 1t.
Keep the road dry and remember that
so long as it remains so it will not be
seriously injured by fros:. Keep the
drains open, the bitches clear, remove
all vegetation and litter, and use the
drag frequently. II the road is kept
dry to depth Of feet below the sur
face there will be little trouble from
the coolest winter.

Water, not cold, is the cause of the
deterioration of roads in winter, &C
cordng to the road specialists OF the
department. Gold weather does rot in
itself injure roads, no matter whether
they are earth, gravel, or maeaddm.
In fact, an earth road will stand more
traffic when it is solioly frozen than at
any other time. Excess water, how.
ever, is always detrimental to high
way. When cold weather turns this
water into ice, the damage that 1t does
is greatly increased. Ice occupies con.
siderably more space than the water
from which it is formed, and every
person who has lived in a cold climate
is familiar with the powerful bursting
effect of water when left to freeze in a
confined vessel. The same action
takes place when wet road freezes to
any considerable depth. 1t simply
bursts, or, as we generally term it in
road parlance, the road heaves. Later,
when the frost leaves, the road is dis
.ntcgrated and ruts badly. II this
process is repe ated number OF times
during the winter, gravel or maca'
dam road NAV be practically destroyed,
while an earth road may become en-
TREY impossible.
A dry road will not heave. Rock,
gravel, sand, and even clay when per.
fectly dry contract slightly on freezing.
In order to expand on freezing. these
materials must contain or be mixed
with water, and the mere water they
contain the greater the expansion
which takes place. But so long as the
road remains frozen the damage does
not become apparent. Hence the fire
quent and erroneous idea that it is the
thaw which Injuries the road. The in.
Jury was done when the water in the
road froze aud the PARTICLES CT the road
surface-broken stone, sand, or still
finer PARTICLES of earth or clay-were
pushed apart by the expanding power
of the freezing water. The thaw
merely allows the ice to melt and as
sumo its original volume as water
The remedy is self evident. Keep
the water out Of the road. The time
to begin preventive measures is early
in the fall, before the rains begin. 1t
the road goes into the winter thorough
ly dry. with the surface and drainage

] feel confident that with reasonable
good fortune, we shall establish a rec
ord for service that will reflect credit
upon the entire community and upon
ourselves. We are asking everyone to
help-to contribute just as much as
ne or she can afford. We do not like
to call upon our fellow citizens in Just
this way, but here is cause that is
certainly honorable and all Of us bene-
mt If our campaign is success. Lend
a helping hand-your house-your
store-factory or home, may be next"
1t has also been pointed out that
when the fire company instaIls its new
truck it will be possible to make runs
to the corporation limits to assist the
nearby farmers in time of fire danger.
The powerful and complete equipment
which this truck carries makes it a
most efficient fire fighting apparatus
on any occasion and the fire boys will
never shirk an opportunity to land
helping hand to unfortunate neighbors
when they are in a position to answer
their call.

suit threeof. This good fortune ought
to teach us to be on our guard and
now-while our record is clean, to
make ample provision against the
calamaties and devastation which have
followed fires in almost every city or
town in the United States at some
time or another.
Members of the Medina Volunteer
Fire department take great pride in
the positions they hold. They have
keen and serious desire to protect the
homes of our citizens-their own, and
the factories and shops where they are
employed-against fires. They real
ize that every fire loss in this COM
munity brings some degree of loss to
every citizen who resides in our midst.
Houses that are burned disappear
from our tax lists and the share which
they previously bore in keeping up the
necessary expenses of our village must
be met by owners whose property sur
wives. The growth of our village
the fact that we are locating homes
and business establishments in all part
of the corporation limits, suggests
that we need adequate fire protection.
Some means for the transportation of
our principal fire fighting apparatus
without moments loss of time, fol-
lowing the alarm, must be provided
and it is for this reason that we want
the citizens of Medina to cooperate
with us-each as generously as he
can possibly afford, in the purchase of
a Motor Chemical Truck. sWe are
buying with care-we are not going
to get something on our hands which
we will not understand or from which
it will be difficult to obtain highly eff
ficient service under the most exacting
conditions. We have used our pres
ent hand-drawn chemical tank with
good results time and time again, but
we have lost many valuable moments
at times, in getting this tanksand our
water hose to fires. When we obtain
our new Motor truck with water hose
trailer we shall drill every man in our
company in the driving and operation
thereof to the most minute detail and

OHIO'S WHEAT CROP
BIGGEST SINCE 1906

Ohio's 1915 wheat production is the
best harvest Buckeye soil has yielded
since 1906. In that year the produc-
ton was 39,279, 900 bushels. The 1915
harvest shows an estimated total pro-
duction Of 36,030,238 bushels. Aver

ago, an increase Of 7,263,7O9 bushels
Compared with report Of one year
is shown in total production, while the
average production per acre is two
bushels greater than in 1914. Quail
ty Of the crop is only fair. Compared
with an average correspondents es-
innate II at 80 per cent. On cores
ponding date one year ago quality
was estimated at SO per cent. A
small amount of last years crop still
remains in producers hands.
The total oats production is esti-
mated at 55,752,846 bushels. Average
production per acre, AZ bushels. The
total production exceeds that of last
year by approximately eleven million
bushels. Quality is estimated at SO
per cent. compared with an average.
The present yield is one of the best
Ohio has produced in past ten years,
being exceeded only by the harvest
Of 1912.
Corn prospects are promising at

Potato prospects are estimated at
81 per cent compared with the yield

MILLIONS LOST on
BAD ROAD BUILDING

That millions of dollars Of the peo-
pies money is being wasted in Ohio
by Incorrect road building, is the
statement Of some of the leading road
experts of the state.
Miles Of macadam or stone road
poorly built and wearing out in a few
months were found in a trip of high
way inspection by officers of the Ohio
State Automobile association. Sec
retary W. A. Alsdorf of the good
roads body with President Richard H.
Lee and Secretary Fred H. Galley Of
the motorists organization covered
hundreds Of miles observing the physi
cal condition of old and new roads and
those under construction. They also
found that in many counties where
macadam is sought, that there is
shown lack Of proper understanding
Of various factors that enter into real
road construction; drainage is poor or
there is none at all, the stone is not
rolled sufficiently to keep it in place,
there is too little water and binder
used, there is lack Of mechanical bin
der and proper surface treatment.
Such roads are going to rack and ruin
a few months after completion, is the
assertion made.
Under fast-moving vehicles, such as
automobiles, the suction draws up
particles Of stone and dust, and they
are blown into fields alongside the
road.
With the expenditure of little mon
ey for mechanical binder, and with
practically no extra effort, a substan-
tial road can be built and the ire
mendous waste under the present sys-
tenn stopped.

.LADDIES CAMPAIGN
FOR new FIRE TRUCK

Determined to equip the local de-
partment with Hallock Motor Chem
ical Truck, manufactured in this vii
lage, members Of the Medina Fire de-
partment have this week circulated a
subscription paper in which all mer-
chants, property holders and citizens
are asked to come forward with gen
erous donations toward a fund for the
purchase of the desired apparatus. In
their campaign the fire boys are max
ing it plain to those upon whom they
call that they have themselves taken
the initial effort in this matter and
that by hard work on their part, thru
outside sources, they have raised an
amount which provides fair start in
the effort which has been undertaken.
They are also explaining to citizens
the benefits which viii come to every
man, woman and child in the entire
community from the installation of
modern, down-to-date and efficient fire
fighting apparatus.
Chief Wise has issued statement
on this subject in which he points out
the increased protection which the vii
lage will gain when a self-propelled
.
apparatus, with full and complete
equipment comes into the possession
Of the local fire department.. He says
Everyone in this village and surround
ing territory is vitality interested in
the subject of fire protection, whether
her or she is an owner of property or
not. Fire is no respector of persons
and the danger which follows any out
break is not always confined to build
ings alone. There is no telling when
a fire will occur or how rapidly it will
spread and sad stories of loss Of life
and serious property losses as re-
suit of fires come to our ears nearly
nearly every day. Medina has been
extremely fortunate of late in the
small number of fires we have had and
the amount of loss sustained as a re-

FIRST COWS SMALL PAY
Your old friend,
A. I. ROOT.

Ohio pays her governors more now
than she did when she was in her
swaddling clothes. DIR. Edward Th-
fin of Chillicothe, who was Ohio's first
governor, was paid less for his SER
vices than the average clerk in state
department gets now. His salary was
5000 a year.
The job is worth more now. The
governor is paid $4,000 year wheth-
er he is ON or off the job. If he goes
away on trip Of q month or more,
his salary goes on. In 1922 the gov
ernor's salary was raised to $1,000
Later it was boosted $500. In 1852
1T was made 81, 800; in 1865 il was
made $4,000 and in 1897, $4,000. In
1906 it was boosted to $4,000.
