OHIO STATE PLAN COMPENSATION ! SAVING MILLIONS

Under the Ohio plan of exclusive state fund insurance for workmen's compensation, insured workers and their widows and children received last year $S,O0O,O00 in compensation benefits, at an administrative cost to the state of only $312,279, whereas if carried by private insurance compan- ies $5,S5S, ,000 would have been the mere administrative cost of convey ing the same $S,O00,0O to the insur- ed workmen and their dependents.
 This saving of overhead expense by the Ohio plan,-more than $5,000,000 iH one state in a single year,-is re- ported by the Ohio Industrial Com mission in it's bulletin, just issued, entitled "A Survey of the Workmens Compensation Insurance Field in the United States"
 Had the exclusive state fund plan been in operation in all states, accord ing to the commission, there would have been a saving in 1917 alone of $23, 100000, now turned over to pri- vate insurance companies sheer waste" with which the nation can i'll afford to be burdened with the grave national crisis that is now be- fore this country"
 Similar savings were recently re- ported by an official, legislative inves- tigating committee in Massachusetts which found that it costs 66 2-S cents to carry a dollar of compensation ben efts through the stock company sys- tenn from employer to injured em- ploye The Montana Industrial Acci- dent Board has just reported that it's state insurance plan lis unquestion- ably the cheapest insurance protection in existence
 Organized labor in legislative cam paigns of 1918 in several states, $ urging the extension of the exclusive state fund plan as a result of years of l experience under various systems of administration.

PRESIDENT FOND
 OF RIDING AS A HEALTH MEASURE

Although it seldom has been re- ferred to. and certainly is not gener- ally known, the Presidents favorite outdoor exercise is horseback riding. Although he mastered the art by bareback riding when boy, it is only within recent months that he has re- sumed the practice as a form of phy- sical exercise. He now rides two or three times a week far out in the suburbs or along country roads. For obvious reasons only the Secret Ser vice guard know over what course the days ride will be taken, and for the same reason they seldom are taken | over the same course twice.
 MT. Wilson is an excellent horse- man, has good "seat' in the saddle and makes most distinguished figure l on a horse. The President rides three gaits, the walk the trot and the can- | ter, and he will not ride any class ot horse other than a high type of thoroughbred, which must have good action, style and mettle.
 Sometimes this "mettle'' exhibits itself in quite unexpected ways and l llALICo c114O PAeaSSSs cNIil1y LAAC ONAAOA NAS when he was out riding the party ap- preached the environs of a military camp, eventually passing line of sentries. Recognizing the President, the soldiers instantly came to atten' tion, throwing their rifles up to 'sa. lute' with much vim and alarcrity. The rifles had no more than come sharply, with snap of the straps into the hands of the sentries, when the Presidents horse gave a fearsome snort of alarm, reared and whirled about like a spun top, almost dislodg- | ing the Presidents hat with the sud- denness of the caper. But the Presi- dent, with perfect balance and undis- | turbed pose, did not even swerVe in the saddle, and in two jumps and a futile lunge the horse was again thor
 oughly under control.
 Turning about, the President re-
 turned to the waiting party. As he joined them he smilingly remarked,
 q think I shall have to apologize for
 this horse. He is not a good soldier
 At any rate he certainly does not ap-
 preciate salute. From 1.-The Presi-
 dents Health Message" by Richard

INTERNATIONAL EGG CONTEST

In the seventeenth week of the lay ing contest at Storrs there was real scrable for first position. Jules F. Francais' Barred Rocks from West Hampton Beach, L. I. Richard Aliens Rhode Island Reds from Pittsfeld, Mass, and w. E. Atkinson's White Leghorns from Wallingford, all tied for first place with 49 eggs each. Obed G. Knights White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, R. l., squeezed into second place with a yield of 46 eggs. Tom J. Adamson's Barred Rocks from Laurel, Quebec, and A. P. Robinson's White Leghorns from Celverton. N. Y, tied for third place with 45 eggs each. The Agricultural college pen of "Oregons" from Corvallis, Ore, and Braeside Poultry Farms White Leghorns from Stroudsburg, Pa, tied for fourth place with A eggs each.
 The total production of all pens amounted to S,272 eggs or yield of nearly AT per cent. This means a gain of more than 470 eggs as com pared with last weeks production. The management of the contest only narrowly avoided trouble last ] week with the litter; some new straw | was purchased for the purpose of l making the houses more comfortable. This straw, however, was damp at the time of baling and in consequence was musty and mouldy. Fortunately | for the birds in the competition, the 1 straw was first tried out in some eX- perimental GOODS where it promptly started something. Inside of two days many of the hens were out of condi- tion. the most notable symptom being rapid respiration. The musty straw had caused lung trouble.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

Lee Brady applied for membership. John ,Jacoby. Albert Burr and Arthur Knight were appointed a committee 1 to decide on application to the troop. The scouts who have passed Tender foot examinations have received their certificates from the Scoutmaster. Many scouts reported a fine time at the Y. M. c. A. banquet.
