The demand was made in his mes
sage to Congress, in joint session in
the House of Representatives. By
"other like necessity it is believed
that President Wilson meant in time
of strikes, and it was apparent that
by his request he was paving the
way for the forceful control of the
railroads of the country if the provi-
sions of the Adamson bill are de-
cared invalid by the supreme court
and the railroad men walk out, as
they have threatened.
Need of Rail Laws
The Presidents message was built
almost altogether on the need for
legislation affecting the railroad sit
uation. He renewed his appeals.
made at the time the Adamson law
was passed, for increase in the per-
sonnel of the interstate commerce
commission and enlargement of it's
scope, and for the provision for
full public investigation of all in
dustrial disputes"
He did not touch by so much as
an inference on his Mexican policy,
and did not mention the administra-
tons policy toward warning nations
in Europe.
Two requests in his message upon
which the President laid special
stress were those for corrupt prac-
tees act and for helpful laws to
promote the export trade of the
country.
He also urged early and favorable
action by the House on the bill
passed by the Senate at the last ses-
sion, providing industrial training
and vocational education. He said
that too much stress could not be
laid on the Importance of the meas
ure, as it affected vitality 1.-The thor

country for the critical years of eco

Following his custom, the Presi-
dent spoke from the speakers ros-

rows of seats before him were filled
with senators and the remainder
with the representatives.
Every Seat Filled
The galleries were packed, many
having been in their seats for hours
before the President appeared, and
every seat in the diplomatic gallery
was taken.

gagiug capable men for this purpose.
Engineers are being employed because
of their knowledge of the subject rath-
er than through political influence.
While real civil service is sometimes
slow in establishing itself, it is surely
progressing.
In many places in the state. fore
men and patrolmen are now working
gangs of men on the State roads
throughout the entire season. This
system is being established and the
men put TO work just as fast as mile
age of State roads will warrant. The
work is being done AS economically
as possible. In most places ineXpe-
rienced men must be trained for this
work Each year sees a greater num-
ber of experienced men at work on the
state roads. 4 good system cannot
spring into existence like Il muSh-
room, and hence it takes some little
time to establish it. With the proper
kind of financial and public support
| road system of Ohio will soon be a
well kept system. Practically all the
State highways highways built by

State Highway Department. While
some counties have been slow to avail
themselves of the advantage of this
system because of the reluctance with
which they operated in building
state roads. other counties have "a
much aS 40 to 60 miles of State high
way. This takes quite burden off
the main thorOughfares where the
traffic is heaviest and the cost OF
maintenance the greatest.
New and better methods of repair
ing and maintaining these roads are
being worked out every year. New
discoveries along this line are being
made, The results of all kinds, meth
DDS and types of roads are being care
fully studied by the engineers in the
Department, and the most economical
method and material to use for any
particular type of road for its repair
IN the particular condition in which 4
is found and for the traffic condition
which 1t has to bear, is gradually be-
ing solved.
The citizens living along the roads
and general public can very material

population together with the greatly
increased use of motor driven vehicles
(and especially motor trucks has
brought about Il demand upon our
roads in many places faster than we

suited from the fact that the public

The ableSt engineer is one who can
look forward sufficiently far to design
his work so that it will most nearly
fiji the conditions it will have to meet

j. also Il necessary adjunct to the
work and in order to have this require
ment it is necessary that the support
Cf the general public be secured. This
frequently requires some little time,
and hence delay in meeting these
new conditions.
Many schmeS and methods and the
use of various and sundry materials
in numberesS ways have been and are
still advocated in the maintenance of
our highways. 1t is unfortunate that
many of these which are not eco
nomical to use are sometimes forced
upon the road official by those who
hence possess little or no knowledge OF
road maintenance. The over Jealous
advocates of certain road materials
because of their financial interest in
same, or because of prejudicing many
persons of necessity uneducated IN
road work for or against certain mate
rials have done an untold injury to the
economic maintenance Of our high
days. Then too, the too frequent GUS
tom in the past of constructing iso-
lated short stretches of good roads

a handicap to the establishment of al

There was a larger acreage of buck
wheat than usual Sown. 1t Is not
especially well filed, however. Owing
to the very high price of wheat, beans,
potatoes and meats, it should all be
saved for human consumption. For
this purpose it should command Mt
least So per hundred pounds. Its
stock food value is about that of oats,
and it fills just about the same place
in the ration. This gives it value of
$3.50 per hundred pounds.
