FULTON s ROADS
Road Meeting To Be Called by County
Highway Superintendent in March
State Highway Commissioner and
President of Good Roads Fedora
tiOn Expected.

According to the new Road Laws of
Ohio the County Highway Superin-
tendent must call the Trustees of all
townships in the county, township
clerks and road supervisors together
for a meeting to discuss matters
of road building and maintenance
and the provisions of the law concern
ing roads and their upkeep. County
Highway Superintendent Castle ex-
poets to call this meeting in Fulton
county early in March. The County
Commissioners who are also respon-
sible for roads in the county have
given their consent to Friday March
third as the date for this meeting and
if the. State Highway Commissioner
approves this date as. he is quite like
ly to do, March the third 1916, will be
the date of the biggest and most i'm
portant Road Meeting ever held in
Fulton County. The law requires that
this meeting shall be public and all
citizens interested in good roads have
a right and will be welcome to attend
this meeting. The new road laws
seek to standardize the roads of the
State and to provide for the mainten-
ance of roads after they have been
built.
To accomplish this end the office of
County Superintendent of Highways
was added to the official duties of the
County Surveyor and no methods of
road building are to be permitted in
the county without his approval. The
County Highway Superintendent acts
0nnCfonflxy v7rInr kn 1srna%s0,, Nf ha
State Highway Commissioner.
Good roads are essential to the
welfare and success of every farmer
in the county and they are of no less
Importance to the business men of
the county. The progress and pros
perity of the entire county depends
to very large extent upon good roads
all the year round, consequently every
citizen of the county ought to be in
terested.
Messers. Young and Elias of the
Ohio Good Roads Federation were il
town the early part of this week anc
suggested that the annual meeting
above referred to be made an all day
meeting with State speakers and ex
pert road builders to demonstrate
methods of road building and main
tenance and that a cordial invitation
be extended to all farmers and other
who are or ought to be interested il
roads to attend this meeting.
The Highway Superintendent an
the County Commissioners seem t
favor the plan and a number of prom
inent road men among them the Stat
Highway Commissioner, the Assistan
Commissioner and the president O
the Ohio Good Roads Federation wi
be asked to be present.
The object is to interest every bod
in the matter of good roads and t
demonstrate right methods of builc
ing and maintenance.

A BOOK OF MEMORY.
(For Fatherl

The following poem was presented
to Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Shade on the
occasion of the fiftieth anniversary
of the birthday of their son Joseph
Shade:
Friend, old and broken, I bring today
In rambling rhyme, as best l may,
A mystic, unbound volume, most rare,
And leave it in your parental care
A book which prying eyes can never
see,
Only to read by the bright light of
memory.
Now lovingly turn it's pages Ger and
DER,
Read the tales of those happy days of
yore;
Tales of his ruddy and all-joyous
childhood,
Days at the old home, in field and in
wildwood.
See, he drinks deep at youths pure
founts
And into the ecstacies of boyhood
mounts.
On and on, reverently turn it's pages
Ger
AS toward his manhood's goal we soar
These pages filled with sterling young
manhood,
Crowded with deeds, most noble anc
good.
Read of his struggles, obstacles tc
| overcome,
And of those great trials so often out
| run.
These are the laurels he so gallantl!
won,
These are the victorys of an old farm
er's son;
These in far country were honestl,
gathered;
These in the old home are now fondl,
treasured.
Twenty-seven pages we've now hast
lily turned;
Beautiful, that life's lessons we'v
learned.
But dark and blurred is page twen
ty-eight,
And cruel and mysterious the dictate
of fate.
Oh! skip the dark, accursed page,
pray,
On this his fiftieth anniversary day.
And steep thy soul in deep rewards
Drink long draught of sweet mem
ory.
Picture on the other, white page
unwritten-
Had he not so mysteriously bee
smitten-
The beautiful stories that might hay
| been told
/ Of higher successes and honors man
fold.
And then, for the moment havin
fingered
And pages twenty-nine on tenderl
| fingered.
Back to the sacred beginning aga
| turn
It's for those happier years you no
yearn.
| And, then the long, sixteenth day
done
And the grey, cloud-cloaked westel
Has quietly sought the dark haven
rest,
Beyond the mystic void of the gold
i west,
Tenderly, lovingly, file this precio
volume away
And treasure it for each other a
i niversary day.

tates the application Of more power
on account of friction, but so per-
fectly is the reducing gear designed
that a less amount of power is nee
essary to operate two pumps than
would be required in driving the
Standard equipment, and one-half
horse power gas motor furnishes
more power than is necessary to drive
the two Hinman pumps.
The driving mechanism is eneased
within an iron housing which is dust
proof and is supplied with bath of
oil which thoroughly lubricates all
moving parts. This insures against
lack of care or neglect in oiling and
assures long life to the gears.
The outfit when in operation runs
so smoothly and quietly that one may
stand beside the apparatus and carry
of voice. The sound from the engine
exhaust is not sufficient to even at
tract attention. The special advan-
tages of the new machine are:
l. Saving in expense of equipment
installation.
2. Saving in time spent in erecting.
3. Saving in money as the result

For the past three years business
has been conducted in Wauseon that
reaches out through two states and
gives the farmers throughout these
two states reason to know that Wau-
seon is on the map. The man who con-
ducts the business is D. w. Myers and
the business he conducts is the distri-
button of Hinman Milking Machines
through the states of Ohio and Mich
igan. The Hinman Milking Machine
is made by the Humans who were and
are practical dairymen, at Oneida,
New York. The reason why these ma
chimes have given satisfaction wher-
ever they have been installed is un-
doubtedly because the machine is in
vented and made by men who know
just what is needed in the practical
use of such machine.
For the past eight years they have
been putting out their Standard ma
chine and hundreds of these machines
have been placed through Mr.. Myers
on the farms of Ohio and Michigan.
Mr.. Myers has kept force of sales
men at work in various parts of these
two states, all business and all ma

ment or to the training and equipment
of the members in the business of
fire prevention and fighting. 1t would
seem that when a reasonable request
comes from these men who have given
time and careful consideration of
these matters in addition to the will
ing service they have rendered, that
such a request should if found prac-
ticable be granted, and when the
granting of such request seems to be,
as this does a guarantee against fire
loss for the village it would seem like
good economy to grant it.
The discussion in regard to the fire
department brought out some COM
plants that had been made that the
fire department would not permit citi-
zens to help at fires; in the explain
ations that followed it appeared that
the "help" that officials of the fire
department objected to was the efforts
on the part of persons not members
of the fire department to take appar-
atus out of the engine room without
authority from any of the officers of
the department and without their
direction. Offers of help under the
direction of the duly authorized chiefs
and foremen have not and will not
be rejected when there is need of such
help. AS explained by Mr.. Eastman,
members of the fire department are
drilled in the use and care of the fire
apparatus and all parts and appli-
ances have their special place in or
der to facilitate the movements of the
department in case of fire; persons
who have not been so drilled are
bound to displace these parts and ap-
pliances and thereby causing delay
and hindrance in the movements of the
company on reaching the scene of the
| fire. The Chiefs and Foremen are
duly authorized and empowered to
take charge of the fire apparatus and
to direct its use; they are held re-
sponsible for such apparatus and for
them to permit anyone to handle the
apparatus at will would be a decided
| failure in duty on their part. The
ultimate result would be to lessen the
efficiency of the department and the
decentralization and disintegration ot
the department.

Mr.. Eastman representing the Fire
Department presented a request from
that Department that the council con-
sidH the matter Of purchasing for
the fire fighting equipment of the vii
lage motor truck for the purpose of
transporting hose and chemical equip
ment to fires. Mr.. Eastman explain
ed that fremen after hauling fire ap-
paratus n long distance were not in
condition to do their best work at
FIRE fighting; he called attention that
many Of the men lived or worked at
some distance from the engine room
and when a fire alarm was turned in
they were under the necessity of max
ing a long run to the engine room
and were apt to be somewhat winded
