1919 AUTO TAGS TO BE
MADE AT PENITENTIARY

Machinery has been installed at the
Ohio Penitentiary to turn out 1000
sets of auto tags in 8 hours by inmates
of the institution at a cost of Is cents
per set. The making of the tags will
begin at once and later in the year, if
necessary, three shifts of men will be
worked so that the supply of 100000
sets will be adequate when needed.
The tags will have a maroon back
ground with embossed, white faced
numerals and letters. They will be
the same size as this years but of
slightly heavier steel.
1t is estimated that if a private con-
tract for the tags were to be let the
cost would be at least 25 cents, so the
state is saving 10 cents on each set.

the farming-the very primitive and
Intellectual farming-of their communal
lands, and they have little concern
with anything else under heaven. in
reality, they are not Russians In any
clear national sense, for they have no
developed patriotic feeling; they are
simply villagers, for the most part
fumbllng and llliterate villagers, ana
the only thing they really care for Is
their land-of which they never think
they have enough. The truth Is that,
because OF poor farming and hope
less communal tenure, they get very
little out Of their land: with a little
