SAVING MADE eY CHANGE

Supt, and Mrs. Andrew Schunck, Of
the County Inhrmary, were at Lima this
week, where they took charge of seven
children from this county inmates Of the
Allen County Chlldren's Home, and took
them to Delaware, whore they We're plac-
ed in the Childrens Home at that place.
The transfer of the Mercer County in
aware home, was made because Of the
fact that the children can be kept for
So per week at the latter place, while at
head to keep the children. This saving
of 81 so per week on each child amounts
to considerable i'm a year and to accom-
plish this saving the commissioners or
dered the change.
The children receive about the same
care at the Delaware Home as they did
at the Lima home the lower cost for
maintenance at the former place being
made possible by ample donations receiV-
ed from interested parties over the state.

BREAKING FAITH WITH GIRLS

In 1914, girls who won second prize in
domestic science contests were given a
free trip to Columbus and a weeks train
ing in the Department of Domestic
Science of Ohio State University The
state paid the expenses. Nearly every
county was represented. Girls were n
couragd to emulate the house keeping
virtues of their mothers, instead of learn
ing the Tango and Turkey Trot. The
same offer was made for 1915. The leg
islature set aside $4,000 for Junior con-
tests The girls were to have their
share Now Columbus sends word moth
ing doing' Lack of funds is pleaded.
Broken faith with girls who won victory
i'm home and kitchen. is the verdict.
If this $4,000 has been or is to be used
to pay for political jobs instead of keep
ing promise made to the baking sewing
girls, the people of Ohio ought to know
it.
If girls had votes, the story might be
different Ottawa Sentil

POLITICAL

| The next congressman from the fourth
district will, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, be a democrat. The last election
caused a republican to slip into the
berth. but even he knows it was an ac-
cident It is doubtful if either of the
defeated contestants of year ago could
be elected If nominated so it looks like
new timber Auglaize county will surely
come forward with her usual one and

| What has Darke, Miami, Shelby and
Mercer to present? 1t is not too early

Ger has no one in the field but a new
clean candidate for congressional honors
must come forward to receive the sup

Now that it is all said and done that
Sprague law referendum was in reality
test of party organization strength and
efficiency Chairman w. L. Finley spent
$l757 for the Democrats and won just as
he has done for them eleven times out of
twelve, and he rallied the members of
the organization so that now they are in
fighting trim as they have not been for
year Chairman Jones spent $4,72489
and lost and finds that he has only the
remnants of once powerful band of
gruntled boilers of last year, would de-
mand Finley's retirement; for losing many
leading Republicans would reward Jones
by making him the gubernatOrial candi-
date. That is the way Of politics.

more than 5000 boys entered the lists for
Corn Boys prizes in the Junior Contest
and more than 800 of them secured free
trips to Washington through the Com
missions activities. This year less than
1000 entered, and while the official con-
duct is secret, it is believed that not
more than so free trips were offered.
And the money that was intended by the
legislature to give the girls a course at
a domestic science college has been spent
by a wasteful board to provide sinecures
