T0START WORK
BUILDING ROAD.
Sum Of $4,000 Now Avail
able For Building Road
To Sanatorium
Money Was Included In The
General Appropriation
Bill

It became known today that the
$4,000 appropriated by the Ohio leg
islature for the Improvement OF the
Sanatorium road, east of this city,
was included in the general appro.
priation bill which became law this
week, without the signature of Gov.
James M. Cox.
Officials at the Ohio State Sana-
toriuml stated today that work on the
road would probably be commenced
in q few days.
The road will be entirely rebuilt
and when completed will be one of
the best in the county. The road runs
from the Coshocton road to the sana-
torium gate.
Great credit is due Mr. William L.
Robinson, chairman of the good roads
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, for his untiring efforts in get
ting the necessary appropriation for
the Improvement.

SOME ECONOMY" HERE

Many items that go TO make up the
staggering total of $55 100000 in the
appropriation bill of the Republican
general assembly show that the
ECONOMY" Legislature had practically
everything else in mind except econ
omy.
The senate clerks force has been
increased by an $500 job and a $1,000
job, making two more than ever be-
fore. These positions are yearround
posts. The force in the Office of the
clerk of the house has been increased
by an $500 place which no former
organization included And the only
excuse for the extra positions created
is that they are useful in taking care
of the faithful.
The public is familiar with the old
Howe's history graft, which this leg
islature inaugurated after it was
driven out number of years ago and
which adds many thousands of dol
lars to the states bill of expense.
That Is not all in the book line eithr
er. The Legislature expended some.
thing like $4,000 for Ohio Archeo-
logical reports in book form. 1t was
taken care of two years ago and this
expense could have been saved. But
not by the ECONOMY" Legislature.
The books were ordered and each
member receives five sets. Great
stuff.
Now comes sanother. This one is
the Ohio Legislature history with
something like ten sets for each mem
Der. Their pictures in it b'gosh, as
the well-known watchers of the stars
would say This bet only cost $4,000.
No doubt the taxpayers will not mind
little item of that sort. The same
legislature found that similar his.
tory was authorized two years ago
but the legislature trimmed the item
to pay for 1t out of the appropria-
tions. TO show the extreme gener-
osity of the present Legislature, II
passed bin authorizing the payment
of $4,000 for the legislative history in
the former session.
And 80 runs the whole bin The
grand total Is ten millions over and
above the appropriation bill of the
last legislature and sets n new rec
ord in expenditures.
With the records all broken for
spending the public's money the leg
islature went home not to return un.
I'll Dec. |, and without providing for
the raising of this vast sum. Maybe

pect the good fairies to DRIFT this way

CHAPTER VII.
A Garden in a Desert.

His dwelling leaped into sight as
Hardin turned the corner of the street.
There was but one street running
through the twin towns, f1anked by the
bitches of running water. The rest
were bitches of running water edged
by footpaths. Scowling, he passed I'M
der the overhanging bird cages of the
Desert hotel without greeting for the
loungers, whose chairs were drawn up
against the shade of the brick walls.
The momentum slackened as Hardin
neared the place he called his home.
An inner tenderness diluted the sheer
that disfigured his face. He could see
lnnes as she moved around in the lit
tie fenced-in strip that surrounded her
desert tent. She insisted on calling it
