Civic organizations and private individuals
have as yet done most in the present crisis. They
have operated sewing rooms as emergency meas
ures for unemployed women, notably in New
York. Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Buffalo. They
have begun wood piles for men and have estab-
lished work rooms where Red Cross bandages and
supplies are prepared. They have supplied shell
ter by getting the use of vacant buildings, old
laundries, auditmiums, ETC., and securing their
equipment by private donations. In one place the
temporary use Of vacant houses has been secured
for unemployed girls. In several places bundle
days. have been advertised old clothes are col
lected in large quantities; considerable number
of women are given work in repairing them, after
which they are given to the most destitute Of the
neighborhood or the city. Men or organizations
with money to invest have lent it to the city when
the city's funds would not permit public works.
In Davenport, Ia, private employers formed an
Employment Association" and had some grad
ing work DONE the workers being chosen through
the city employment bureau. Loan funds have
been proposed by local organizations or citizens,
the funds to be open, after investigation, to the
skilled unemployed workmen of the neighbor-
hood. ':Nickel funds,' to which every citizen is
urged to contribute nickel for immediate re-
lief have been begun; soup houses, coffee stands
and bread lines, have Of course been begun in
many places. And they are needed One Of the
most notable services rendered this winter by
private organizations, committees or individuals
has been in correlating the work of all the Off

Churches are busy. The New York Fedora

as to how individual churches may find odd jobs

reach the unemployed through their children in

as registries and the church basement is made

It has been for many years an un-
broken rule in the township road
building profession, for its members
to refrain from endorsing or lauding
any new method OF road construction
that is written in any of the many
publications In this or any other
country, except in very rare instances
where general undisputed proof has
been forthcoming from sufficient diff
ferent sources to warrant a deviation
from this code of ethics.
Therefore, Highway Superintendent
Jones of our county road system, one
Of the foremost men in his profession,
has taken upon himself to inform the
rural public that at last there is a
more modern method which has really
proven by results to be much cheaper
and practical than is now in use at
present upon our township roads.
Taking into consideration the vast
number of township roads that are in
such poor condition throughout this
country and the untold inconvenience
resulting directly and indirectly from
poor road beds it seems strange that

Help for the Unemployed.

Md-winter is no time to sum up conplacently
what has been done or even what is being done to
relieve unemployment. Three hard months are
ahead.
But to point out things already done by bust
ness, by government, or by civic bodies may very
possibly suggest the best ways of going ahead
with immediate and practical relief work
throughout the country.
Business, as represented by individual indus
tries, has done little. AS represented by associa-
lions of employers and chambers Of commerce, it
has done much to urge separate industries to keep
up their forces so far they possibly can, and to
prevail upon the city authorities to hasten public
works. A committee of the Boston Chamber of
Commerce has issued to employers definite sug-
gestions as to how they may regularize their
work. And this plan has been followed else
where. The Board Of Commerce in Detroit, hav-
ing got jobs in the ice camps for some of the
thousands of applicants at their free employment
bureau, has undertaken to look out for nearly
400 families while the men are away and until
they can earn something. A few industries have
established loan funds to tide over the men they
have had to lay off. One telephone company is
furnishing wood for woodward for the unem-
ployed by contributing it's discarded poles. In
Oregon hardware and steel company has do
mated the tools needed for land clearing project

In response to Mr. W. o. Jones.
county highway superintendent as
sertion made in the Palladium Thurs
day evening. Jan. 81.
He. Jones. denounced the township
road supervisory and work tax system
as a graft and brands the farmers as
q set Of thieves and the supervisor as
being incompent. In Harrison town
ship there is about ten miles of county
road this past year. There was not
over one mile of road graveled and
one-half load at place. the farth-
est load was hauled about one and
three-Quarter miles from the pit. Now
this should be a very good mile of
road. According to Mr.. w. O. Jones
report there was SILT for each mile of
farmers were hauling gravel for Mr..
Jones we worked ten hours for $3.50.
his assistants teams drew $500 per
day and were o ntheir way home long
before we quit of an evening. l would
like to ask Mr.. Jones how he can pay
some men $3.50 per day and they were
equivalent to about six or seven hours.
One of those men told me he drew
$3.50 and he never turned a hand un-
til IL o'clock. l think the law allows
$500 per day for a man single handed.
Is it any wonder that ninety-five per
cent Of the farmers will not let go Of
the old system?
All that is the. matter with Mr.. Jones
Is that he is sore because he could
not get enough roads on the county SO
he could get his salary raised from
$500 to $500 per day.
beg to differ with Mr.. Jones as to
the supervisors. think we have
some that are just as competent as
Mr.. Jones or any of his assistants.
Mr.. w. o. Jones said not township
road was graded. There were township
roads graded in Harrison township and
a few loads of gravel scattered around
and expect the same in other town
ships.

QUESTION CLEARED UP
Richmond Readers Can No Longer

But Richmonds pertinent question has

PREbLE COUNTY
CLAIMS RECORD
FOR LONG LIFE
Residents Reach Age of 98-
Average for County Seat
Climbs to 81 Years.

EATON, O., Feb. 1.-Records for
both health and wealth are claimed
by Preble county, and it is probable
that neither is equaled by any Of
Ohio's other eighty-seven counties.
Statistics for the year 1914 show the
average life to have been 63 years In
thetwelve townships of the county.
But In Eaton, the county seat, the av-
erage reached 81 years.
In the village of Eldorado, ten miles
north OF Eaton. records show that 1t
has been more than year since a
death occurred, and longer than six
months since one has been reported In
the territory Immediately surrounding
the place. The town has q popupla-
ton of $50.
In addition to longevity the county
Is Immensely wealthy, and II all the
money within her boundaries were d.
vided equally among her. 1884 resi-
dents, each would have $1,735.11.
That the farmers are unaffected by
business depression and stringent
money matters Is attributed by the
fact that in five of the county's twelve
townships not an acre has been plac-
ed on the delinquent tax list.
One of the most remarkable women
in the county is Mrs. Christina Wesco
of Eaton, who bears the distinction Of
being the Oldest. While she never
has been Of robust health, she cele-
brated her ninety.third birthday an
niversary during last December, and
bids fair to round out q full century.
To her longevity she attributes her
strict compliance to all laws laid down
for physical conservation. Mrs. Wes-
CO bears another distinction In the
fact that she is the only woman In
the county who is the representative
of family of five generations.
John Mattix, 81, attributes his long
life to hard work, use OF both smok-
ing and chewing tobacco, and eating
plenty of onions. Mr.. Mattix was
born and reared on a farm. He knows
what it is too work hard, and is strong
in his declaration that it never killed
anybody. He will reach his ninety
eighth birthday anniversary June Is
OF this year, and on that day expects
to perform manual labor.
