MANAGERS
and HELPERS
NOW AVAILABLE

The u. S. Veterans Bureau, which
is the government agency for train
ing ex-service men, announces that
several men who have been agricul-
turally trained are now ready for
service as practical farm managers,
and helpers. Some of these men are
graduates of hte short course in ag-
riculture, while others are degree
men. All men are able to carry on in
the agricultural work which they have
chosen.
At the close of the war, there were
many men who were slightly impair
ed in health. With proper medical
treatment and care, they have been
able to regain their health and
strength. While they were recover
ing, it was found that they made
better progress if they were at the
same time engaged in learning some
useful trade or occupation. The result
is that gradually these ex-service
men who had some handicap when
they were discharged from service
are regaining their former ability tc
carry on as normal citizens, and
with the training which the govern
ment has given them, earn a better
living than they would have been able
to earn without the help of then

Ohio Farmers Insurance Company
Sustains Heavy Losses in Full
ton County Since New
Years
Losses Nearly $4,000

On Saturday, January 14th, the
.lrage farm barn owned by S. E. Hin
AIe at Lyons, Ohio, was destroyed by
nre. The contents of the barn con-
sisted of large amount of hay,
fodder and straw, farm implements
and milking machine, which, to-
gether with eight head of Pure Bred
Holstein Cattle was total loss.
Mr.. Hinkle had one of the largest
and most nearly modern farm barns
in Northwestern Ohio, and after re-
ceivlng from the Ohio Farmers In
surance Company, the amount of in
surance carried by them, the loss to
Mr.. Hinkle will be very heavy on ac-
count of the sacrifice he has made in
disposing of the remainder of his
cattle and farm implements, and the
Inconvenience of not having a barn.
On Thursday afternoon, January
26th the dwelling owned by Ella
Berry, near Metamora was destroyed
by fire which originated in the roof
near the chimney. Nearly all the
household furniture, bedding and pro-
visions were consumed by the flames.
On January 11th, the large farm
home of William O'Neill in Amboy
Township was discovered to be on
fire, and owing to quick response to
telephone calls, the house was saved
with only about $500 loss.

OLD RESIDENT

and was reared on a farm in Lena
wee county. In 1867 he entered the
University Of Michigan as a student
in the medical department When 16
years of age he attended the Medina,
Michigan Academy. He latre attend

OF DIR. Weed who was then an army

gan and in 1869 he graduated with
honor from that institution. He be-
gan the practice of medicine at
Spring Hill (Tedrow, but three wears
later ne sold the practice and located
in Fayette. He made financial sue
cess of the practice of medicine and
contributed much to the success of
the Fayette college.
He was identified with many of the
business interests of Fayette. He dis
continued the practice of medicine to
devote his time to business enter
prlses. He was a director in the
Farmers State Bank and owned
considerable real estate in the COM
munity.
He has been an active politician

ty to manage the state institutions.

TAXPAYERS ASSAIL
CHEAP HIGHWAYS
Public Wrath Aroused Over
Disclosures of Repair Costs
as States Enter 1922
Construction Season
Situation in Ohio Cited as an Ex-
ample to be Avoided in Future

AS State Highway Departments
enter the New Year with large con-
struction programs, an ominious
cloud in the form of tax waste dis
closures on cheap roads is beginning
to cloud the sky.
1t appears that farmers who have
been led in to the belief that highway
funds are not properly invested where
quality is given precedence over mile
age, are confronted with facts that
tend to change their opinion in re-
gard to economic types of road. The
situation in Ohio, where farmers have
become so thoroughly aroused over
road repair bills as to demand an in
vestigation, is case in point. AS a
result of increasing weight on public
roads, highway statistics indicate
that macadam on main routes will
soon be a road of the past, if states
are to avoid being plunged into bank
ruptcy by their highway depart
ments.
This type of road, and in fact all
types of cheap construction, it now
appears from maintenance reports,
must be rebuilt within such short
periods that they soon run into the
most expensive types in which high
way funds can be invested.
In some estates where propaganda
has prevailed against so-ealled
boulevard" roads, as in Ohio for in
stance, farmers are coming back at
cheap road advocates with the ques-
tion "Who gets the money for exces-
sive maintenance
In Ohio the road repair bill,
amounts to more than $S,000,O00
year, and the question of who gets
the larger sum is now of more inn
portance it appears than the query as
to who profits on so-called higher
types of road, in which less than
$5,000,000 year is being invested.
Engineers who are trying to di-
vorce highway departments from
politics, are having the battle of their
lives in their efforts to carry out
economic and logical construction
programs. Probably the most out
standing figure at the present mo-
ment in this warfare is Leon C. Her
rick, director of highways and public
works in Ohio. Mr.. Herrick's often
sive against public lethargy on what
really constitutes an expensive road,
is finding sympathetic support in
highway circles, and his platform of
substantial construction is viewed
here as a distinct step in behalf of
the taxpaying public.

FULTON COUNTY
STATE HIGHWAY
WORK LET

Bids were received for the improve
ment of 6.35 miles of the Bryan
Wauseon Road in Fulton County, at
Columbus, Ohio, January 27th, 1922.
The construction of this section of
highway will complete the remain
ing gap of the Main Market Road be-
tween Wauseon and the Williams
County line.
OF a total of twenty-one bids re-
ceived, Roger Doaust, Defiance,
Ohio, on his combined bid on the two
sections, OF $175,852.92 was the low
bidder.
The pavement is to be of a one
course concrete, of a uniform thick
ness of inches and 16 feet wide,
reinforced with " inch steel bars,
spaced IL inches center to center.
Competitive bidding for the Fulton
County work was apparently very
keen, as the low bid is 21.5 per cent
below the estimated cost. The con-
tract price will be considerably lower,
comparatively, than that for any
other work let in other counties at
the recent lettings. AS a matter of
fact, bids being received on the better
type of pavement only, the contract
will be let at a figure of a greater
percent below the estimated cost
than the letting of contracts for high
way work in any other county in the
State. In Defiance, a neighboring
county, on work recently let, bids
being received on five different types,
the estimated costs, shipping facili-
ties and conditions in general being
similar to those in Fulton County,
the contract price per mile on CEN
crete, the type of pavement adopt
ed, was $28,116.OO or $425.OO more
per mile than the cost of the Fulton
County work. The bids ranging
from Is per cent below estimate on
concrete to per cent below estimate
on the various types of macadam.
Low bids for concrete highway
construction for the coming season
are brought about by the fact that
modren labor saving machinery used
is playing an important roll in reduc-
ing the cost of that type of construc-
ton. More of the actual cost of the
road being in materials and better
construction in general, and less in
labor.
The officials in charge are to be
commended for providing for better
highway construction, and their en-
deavor to reduce highway construc-
tion costs by interesting a large num-
ber of contractors in their work, and
hereby creating intense competition
in the letting Of contracts.
