ABOUT our ROADS

The roads of this section are COM
ing to be more and more of a pro-
blem. With traffic getting heavier
and heavier all the time, and the de-
mands on the highways becoming
CORRESPONDENCE heavier, what is to
be done and how it is to be done, and
especially how it is to be paid for are
matters in which every citizen of Full
ton County is interested. We are 60
ing to have to stay on the earth. Fly
ing machines do not seem to be COM
ing into such common use that they
will do for hauling farm produce and
live stock, but it does seem that every
week sees the motor truck bringing
something new to our doors. They
take up a good deal of the road, it IS
true, but the roads are public and we
can't forbid them their usage. We
can, however, secure better roads by
taxing the trucks according to weight
or size of tire-spread. And we fully
believe that now that the trucks have
entered into open competition with
the railroad companies they should
be made to keep up the roads, just as
the railroads are forced to keep up
their railroads. We believe the pro-
per taxation of truck traffic will go a
long way toward solving the good
road proposition in this country.

CLEVER CROOK
OPERATES here

Last Sunday forenoon a strange
man entered the store of Brigham,
Guilford and Company and asked to
turn in a pair of shoes he said he had
purchased there. On looking over the
shoes it was found that it was the
same kind that they sold and the
money was returned to him.
Later on it was found out that the
shoes had been stolen and Sheriff
Ford was notified, on investigation
they found he had tried to turn back
some spark plugs that he said he
bought at Fleming and Hough's, they
looked over their records and found
no sales and would not redeem them.
A call came from Archbold saying
that a strange man had worked the
same scheme in that place. The mar
shall thought he had gone west, but
instead, he came this way. No trace
of the man has been found.

OAK SHADE
'' rs STORE ROBBED

The Bates and Sharpe Grocery
Store at Oak Shade was robbed early
Sunday morning and about $50 in
cash taken. The front door to the store
was broken open and the safe door
blown off with nitro glycerine. Some
thing must have frightened the rob-
bers away as they left a pocket book
with about 500 in bills laying on the
floor, small change was scattered
over the floor. A number of endorsed
checks were left in the safe and
about $500 or $4,000 in the cash
register.
The store was closed up about nine
o'clock Saturday evening and the rob-
berry was not known until Mr.. Sharpe
went to the store Sunday morning.
Sheriff Ford was called, but up to
the present time no trace of the rob-
bers has been found. 1t is evident
they headed for Toledo where they are
harbored.

FARMERS SOL WING
TRACTOR PROBLEMS

More than so owners of gas en-
gines and farm tractors in this vici
nIty have enrolled in the Tractor
School, conducted here daily thru tn,
special federal department of voca
tlonal education, cooperating with
the department of Agricultural En-
gineering of Ohio State University.
The school here is conducted by
Frank Bookmyer, special instructor
for the State Department of Educa
ton, and Ralph Howard, instructor il
the Smith-Hughes agricultural de.
partment in the local high school.
The average daily attendance al
the school exceeds 80, many of the
farmers leaving all other work to re.
ceive the technical mechanical in
struction in this school. The work
deals with the principles of engine
operation, detecting troubles and re-
pairing them, and with other mat
ters which the owner may remedy
without having to resort to a repair
shop. They dissemble and reassemble
the engines and tractors getting
practical work.
There has been a demand for tract
ors in this county in the past few
years. The dealers of this town
have sold over 100 to the farmers in
this vicinity and through this school
it will create more interest in them.
In the past the tractor was more or
less in an experimental stage, but
now they have come to stay.
This week will end the school and
about IL tractors have been overhaul
ed and the owners given a practical
knowledge of the workings.
Other schools will be held in the
county. Mr.. Bookmyer will go from
here to Holgate, in Henry County and
in February will hold a school at
Delta.

TRACTOR SCHOOL

This week marks the closing of the
first Tractor School in Wauseon.
That it was a decided success is evl-
denced by the fact that the men tax
ing the course of instruction gave II
preference to all work at home, en-
abling a 100 per cent attendance.
That the course was educational and
practical is shown by the way the
men progressed in their work. All
their actions showed that they had
confidence in what they were dong.
In their discussions and questions,
thev accustomed themselves to talk
ing in a language related directly to
the work they were doing. That the
three weeks of special training was
we'll worth their time is best told by
the expressions of the men them
selves. 81 have learned a whole lot
during this short time, things which
wanted to know how to do but felt
too complicated to undertake with my
ability. 1t was so interesting
could not keep away" on with the
course for another year," etc, etc.
The success of the course is due in
a large measure to the efforts of D.
Morningstar, the local agent for the
Ford Motor Co. During the entire
three weeks he let the men use his
tools and furnished space in which tc
hold the school, to make the quarters
more comfortable for the men he saw
that the room was properly heated
] and lighted. For all this no charge
was made which shows his enthu-
siasm for the work.
T. For the afternoon of the closing
day, Saturday, January 21st, speci-
al educational program is being ar
ranged. 1t will consist of lectures
on Power Farming" by a representa-
tive of the International Harvestry
Co., "Lubrication" by a representa-
tive of the Standard Oil Co., anC
i"Care of the Tractor" by a represen
tative of the Ford Motor Co. The
lectures will be supplemented by
films showing the tractor at worl
under different farming conditions
The program will be held in the
Princess Theatre at 1:SO p. M, stan
dard time. Free To All.

The Family
A HARD BLOW

We don't see why the professor
couldn't have kept it to himself about
so years longer. Here we are try
ing to be happy and hopeful and he
comes along and tells up-well, just
listen to what this Yale professor
tells US. He says that either the
earth's rate Of rotation is slowing
down or the moon is moving faster.
The result is that each year we gain
one-thousandth of a second of day.
light, and that when the world is
100000 years older than it is now
each of our precious nights will be
one second shorter. The year 1921
was full of disappointing and dis
couraging things. But it is tough
to have a blow like this fall at the
beginning of new year. But be of
good cheer-maybe after all the pro-
fessor is wrong. Maybe it will be
100000 years before we begin to lose
that precious second of time every
night.

PHONE COMPANIES
HOLD MEETING
NORTHWESTERN OHIO AND
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BAN
QUIET AT AVERY INN

The Northwestern Ohio and South
ern Michigan Telehone Companies
hsld their annual meeting and ban
qlet at the Avery Inn Friday after
n on at loop. m. There were about
3 members present besides the news
paper men of Wauseon who were
s, sts of the Association.
This association is composed of
telephone companies operating at Ma
poieon, Defiance, Edgerton, West
Unity, Bryan, Fayette, Wauseon
A. ehbold, Swanton, Delta, Lyons and
Metamora, Ohio and Morenci and
Adrian, Michigan.
they are brought together once a
year to discuss matters of interest to
the companies of this territory.
Mr.. F. ]. Spencer, the President OF
the Company called the, meeting TO
order and announced that DR.. Lath-
rop of Swanton would be the toast
master. This the Doctor did with
we'll chosen remarks' and called upon
different members of the companies
represented. Mr.. /? of Swan
ton gave a very interesting talk on
the condition of the Telephone situa-
tion. He said their company was
hit hard during the cyclone that
swept over Swanton, but that the
company was building up and every
thing was back in shape again.
Bir. Miller of West Unity with his
usual wit and humor gave some very
good remarks. Their company has
L,ea sold to the Bryan Company.
will be operated as one Company.
Mr.. Waltz of Delta was called up
on for a few remarks. Messrs
Reighard, Jay and Bissonnette, news
pa7er men were also called on.
Miss Spencer gave two very fine
readings that were enjoyed by every
one.
There is a lot of good derived from
sch meetings, it is to their mutual
advantage to meet and discuss pro-
tlsms that are ever coming up for
these companies to solve. We believe
that the Cooperation of such enables
them to get the best method of op-
Grafton and give service, of whcih the
public are demanding more every
day. We believe it helps them to
give better and efficient service.
The dinner was second to none, anC
the kind that the Avery Inn is be-
coming widely known for. We are
glad to have been invited. Come
again.

NOBLEST
INSTITUTION

There can be no better refutation of
the sinister sophistries of those who
declare that humanity's noblest insti-
tuition the great American Home
is waning" than the record made in
Ohio last year when six times as many
homes were erected as in the year
preceding. And in all these United
States, the Buckeye commonwealth
stands second in the number of homes
owned. These are pertinent facts in
the celebration of Homecoming
Day." during Thrift Week, a period
set aside from January 18th to 23rd
that the habits of economy may be in
culcated in the public's mind.
When our forefathers first filtered
into the rich Ohio bottoms thru the
wooded valleys of our great eastern
wall of mountains, they were wont
to gather and render aid, one to the
other, in the erection of their rude
cabin homes. Neighbors for miles
around would gather for the log roll
ing, for the hewing and fitting and
the home would rise amid the shouts
of the guests. Thus our early homes
were built through the spirit of
camaraderie.
And that spirit of helpfulness born
in the day when fleetfooted deer
raced where now the modern traction
speeds, still holds sway among ou1
citizens. Today our homes are built
through community help through
the pooling Of funds by the folks of
one neighborhood in great building
loan and savings associations which
in turn, loan out this money to the
prospective builder who, but for this
help of his neighbors, would be un-
able to finance his home. Thus is
community help, building not only oul
homes. but a feeling of neighborly
security, as had our forefathers.
And thus it may be seen that the
claptrap of those who preach the
waning" of the Great American
home is mere idle chatter. Look
about you if you desire multitudinous
refutation of this absurd SANDER
Look into your own hearts and homes
and you will be able to. thank Gcd
for your home, for all the multitudes
of American homes in which today
love and duty and righteousness abide
and from which in endless procession
the worlds most splendid citizenship
issues.

AFFIRMS CERTAINTY
OF FARM PROGRESS
Dean Mann of Cornell, Who Will
Speak at Farmres' Week,
Voices Optimism

Reports from the east indicate that
A. R. Mann, scheduled at II ON
Thursday, Feb. 2, as one of the lead
ing speakers of Farmers Week at the
Ohio State University, will bring to
Ohio farmers a message of optimism.
His subject, as announced here, is
"What Constitutes Progress in Agri-
culture? ?" In recent address before
students of the College of Agricul-
ture at Cornell University, of which
college he is dean,, he is reported to
have said:
"There can be no doubt that agri-
culture and country life are making
slow, but steady and substantial
gains. The farmer is growing in
capacity, confidence, and influence in
personal, state and national affairs.
"His past achievements, so largely
wrought out of his own unaided ex-
perience, are now supplemented by
great state and national endowments,
and by private and voluntary agencies
working with him and for him. Par
ticularly, the new plan of cooperation
of working together, which he has
embraced gives assurance of his con-
tinued rise to higher planes of abili-
ty. accomplishment, and personal
well-being.
The farmers problems are mainly
of a kind which yield only to slow
change, but his numbers are great;
his face is toward the future, and his
stride is measured and unafraid.
Marrying took decided slump ir
the United States in 1921. Probably
lot of young fellows have decided
that thew can't support bride and g
lbootlegger, too.
