Min Road Closed
Entirely to Traffic

The mill, OF Center street road. was
closed entirely to traffic today in the
vicinity Of the hill west of the inter-
section of Center and Third streets.
Notices were posted in all directions.
and especially at the city limits. The
nearest detour is over the North Third
avenue road. 1t was necessary TO
close the road entirely because con-
crete was being laid at the foot of the
hill next the bridge today. which
blocked the detour past the ice houses
and out thru Fifth street.

PRIORITY RULES.

The inability of the railroads to handle all Of the business that is ex- pected of them and do it at once has caused much ernbarra ssment to con- sumers as well as industries through out tho country. I'ba efforts of the administrators named by the prosi- dent to adjust cerfs-i.1 problems have caused q conflict Of authority in some instances due Ia the desire of those men to sec thei; particular efforts succeed but th,, uaming Of the prior ity board and tiie designation by it of the order in waic!. different articles should get preference bids fair to over come the conflict of authority and ob- tain the greatest results from the transportation facilities which arc available.
 Recognizing the necessity of keep ing the railroads going the board has decided that priority must he. eiven to fuel for the transportation lines. If the railroad systems aT' ~t': given coal stagnation will result Ti.s. reads must be kept going to their limit. Next in the list comes livestock. per ishabie freight. food and feed, follow ed by military supplies for this gov ernEnent or it's allies, with coal for hy-protIuct coking plants fourth in the list and fuel for domestic consumption fifth.
 By following this plan there ought to be good results obtained. It is a move to eliminate much os the con fusion since some definite arrange ment can Joe adhered to much better than as if there was no genera! scheme for moving freight. But while the maximum service is being planned for the railroads the opportunity for bringing to bear the extensive aid which can be rendered, by water transportation ought not te be over looked. All facilities have got to be brought into play if the congestion is going to be overcome.

THE YOUNGSTOWN WAY.

While the consumer is being urged to conserve on food supplies ifs many ways in order to overcome waste and insure enough for all, and being forced to save in other ways because there is d shortage from one reason or another, to say nothing of being obliged to pay high prices in order to get the neces- sities of life. it is not surprising that he should wax indignant when il is reported that carload after carload of perishahle goods are left either ac- cidently through congestion of rail- road facilities or intentionally by act of the shipper on some railroad sid- ing to freeze or spoil.
 Such is a we'll known method of forcing up prices and in such cases the owner makes T greater profit through the destruction of food sup plies than as if they had been disposed of in the regular course of trade, re- gardiess of the hardship which may be forced upon others.
 In recognition of this nothing but commendation is due the local food administration committee at Youngs- own, O., which seized a shipment of coco bushels Of potatoes held in the railroad yards there and likely to spoil and disposing of them to the people of that city at s1.25 a bushel Who the owners were could not be learned. The money which was reaiized frorn the sale will be subject to their call when they furnish proof of ownership but in the meantime a valuable step in behalf Of conservation has been taken and another demonstration given of the wisdom of preserving that which is already possessed.

son why 1t should not be employed and turned to the best possible use.
 There are states where prisoners are employed upon the roads and re- ports from those commonweaiths show that good results are obtained, that the working of the prisoners on out of door jobs is beneficial to them as we'll as the state and that it brings such men to a better realization of their responsibilities In other losali- ties prisoners are employed upon farms while there are other activities re- quired of prisoners elsewhere which help materially in production.
 Certainly the country requires that able bodied men should be- kept busy. If they cannot do one thing they can another and the effort of the experts should result in overcoming at an ear iy date the conditions of idleness which now prevail

 where he has been conducting his
 search, and enter his own. here! I don't sec it!' Look in tlH corner!' I order. He kicks out the whole neat row of his shoes from against the wall and shouts that the umbrella ien't there. Then it's on a hook I answer.
 "'Oh, great guns!' Henry calls down in a few seconds. I'm going to miss my train and I tell you 1t isn't heret
 into the closet and pluck Henry's um- breila. from the wall. where it is hang ing in plain sight and Henry says, l Oh in a dissruntled voice and slips off.
 Its the same way when he wants a certain bit of literature. Where is the September number of the Buzz Mdgazine?' Henry will ask I want to read over the start of the aeriai.' Right on the library table, say. Ten minutes later entering the room, I think the Germans must have bomb ed the spot. Although the pictures are still on the walls nothing else is left in it's place.
 '''The September Buzz is gone.' he cries in injured tones. You've gone and sold it to the ragnan! It isn't here! I can't find it!' I walk over to the table and picking up two other magazines pull out the September 2uzz which has lain beneath them Henry says. 'Oh.' again.
 If Henry ever found the icepick when he went to prepare a cold drink. the said pick invariably reposing on top of the box; if ever he was able to l, perceive his box of collar buttons on top of his dresser; if ever he could see the clothes brush which always hangs solitary on the broad expanse of his closet door: if he ever succeed ed in finding any of these things without howiins for me to come and discover them, why.

Pretty soft!' reflected Adam. Saves exertion and all that!' This was one of the texts on which be preached to Cain and Abel on one of the occasions when he remembered that he was a father and should i'm plant moral ideas and shed good ad- vice. Never he told them while Eve was over at the neighbors, never make the mistake of finding anything you go to look for! Because ii you do you'll have to work hard at finding things all your life. Why, it's a posi- tive pleasure to a woman to have to hunt for anything and you should al- ways be thoughtful and kind to your mothers and wives and sisters, and not deprive them of any little thing which would add to their happiness. Look at me! Pm the model husband on th4S earth ana I've let Five Seafcn out everything the family has ever wanted Why, she'd be just lost with out that little job.'
 Great idea of dads said Cain and Abel, and jotted it down in their note books.
 Tt has grown worse all the time, sort of expanded with inheritance, as it were. We've been married a thous- and years, more or less, and never in that time has Henry succeeded in finding his umbrella when he wanted it. He likes expensive umbrellas and y<n order to prevent their being loaned to the roilkman hy the cook to the any friends of my children who re- gard umbrellas as their rightful prey, Henry's umbrella is always kept in his clothes closet upstairs. It never has reposed anywhere else. Always it hangs on a hook on the south wall of the closet unless it is standing in the corner. There is an excellent electric light in the closet and space to move around.
 Nevertheless, this is the proceed ure when Henry looks up from the breakfast table and notes that 1t is raiEing. 'H'm!' says Henry. Raining, is it?' He goes to the coat closet downstairs and I hear strange rat things, tlluraps and crashes. Finally there is a r1uffled roar and I run to find Henry buried amid a mass of

WELCOME TO THE AGRICULTURE
 ALISTS,

With a corn show, the mid-winter meetings Of the state board of agri- culture and the association of sheep breeders being held in this city this week there should be a large gather Ing of the farmers of this part of the state and a deep interest manifested in the advice which will be furnished Tor the benefit of the agriculturalists.
 Such are opportunities which ought not to be neglected at any time but particularly now when increased de- mands' are being made for the pro- ducts of the farm. when prices are nigh and there is need for developing rur resources in every direction it is highly important that serious atten- tlou should be given to these matters by those who are directly concerned.
 None too often 1e the farmers of this part ot the state have the oppor- tunity to get such help and encour- ageInent in their work and it there lore behooves them to profit while they can from the suggestions of the experts who are being brought here to aid the farmers of the state in their different lines of e1deayor and l. is to be hoped that these meetings will result in the putting forth of greater effort in the production Of corn, sheep and other farm products There is plenty of opportunity for it. Examples as to what can be accom- piished are plentiful The chances for others to do likewise exis. on every hand and there could be no happier outcome of the meetings than the fur aishing of the inspiration necessary to have the farmers grasp them.
 Norwich extends cordial welcome to the delegates and hopes that the outcome Of the sessions will be as fruitful as desired
