Students to Run Farm.

Cultivating 800 acres of land, in ad-

six men, Ohio State University farm
offers work to large number of stu

during the corn-cutting and husking
1900 shocks of corn in one day. A few
days later the same number husked
1850 bushels of corn in one day. While
student labor is used mostly during
the fall, work is given to about 20 stu

the recent report of the interstate COM

for the fatal wreck at Amherst, two
months ago, in which q were killed.

Cities Neulect Account.

That Ohio cities need better account
ing methods was the thought of an
address delivered by ]. H Kaufman,
chief examiner in the state auditors
office, before students in the depart
ment of economics and sociology of
Ohio State University. Every city in
Ohio needs a sound accounting system,
for we have never had proper account
ing of public funds" In speaking of
turning out part of the city street
lights, he said that it is the things
near home that are first abandoned
when public funds are low. Officials
would not think of discharging a minor
employe, because this would not bring
before the people the need for more
revenue.
