COLUMBUS LETTER
Conveniences On Farm
(By Chas. w. Rife)

One farm in every five in Ohio is
equipped with electric lights and
other electric service and one farm
residence in every seven has a run
ming water system. Other statis-
ties compiled by the state and fed
eral agencies reveal opportunities
formerly confined to the city dwell
ers. The total number of farms in
Ohio is 256.G95. Of these, 48,599
have electric service, 1894 deriving
the service from their own electric
light plants and 1866 from OUT
side sources. Farms with running
water systems number 1884. The
task OF the farm wife is lightened
with the same equipment that city
housekeepers employ. On Ohio
farms, there are 26,117 washing ma
chimes employed to help remove the
drudgery from washday. These
laundry facilities are furthered by
the employment of 29,282 electric
irons in farmhouses Vacuum clean
ers are found in 2o,041 farm homes.
While only 1888 milking machines
are used on Ohio farms, 132 ,26S
cream separators are used. Aids to
traction and hauling are given by
25,244 farm-owned motor trucks
and 3S,395 tractors. Gasoline en-
gines are used on S9,21S farms and
1925 farms have power motors.
To Study Uses OF Wool
Eastern wool manufacturers will
conduct study of wool uses ard re-
quirements when Ohio wool grow
ers meet here Friday. Ohic's CO.
operative wool sales agency, already
the largest in the country, continues
to grow, according to reports by Of
ficials of the Ohio Wool Growers
Cooperative association at recent
meeting of the executive committee.
A total of 4,552,852 pounds of wool
has been consigned to the co-opera-
tive pool this year and it is expected
that before the end of the year the
total will be million pounds over
the volume handled last year.
Legislature Meets Friday
Columbus will be honored FRI
day by the members of the Ohio gen.
eral assembly who are coming to
town for "a hours during which time
they expect to pass important tax
legislation bills, see couple of good
shows and talk politics. Of course
the main purpose is the tax relief
bill. The committees have agreed
upon virtually everything, and all
that remains to make the bill eff
fective is the approval of the gener-
al assembly and Governor Vic Don
ahey. Legislators won't get any
extra pay for coming back, but the
expense attached to even one day
session is nothing to be laughted at.
Everything is cut and dried for the
solons to come and go on the same
day if they SO like, but it happens
that leading candidates for office
next fall are to be in their rooms,

HnaiiIY ON DECENCY
(By .Silas Thorla

As sure as we have never taken q
ride on a brick steamboat, the local
news gatherer has something to con-
tend with; he cannot please every
body, no indeed, no more than the
editor himself can. Our idea of To-
cal correspondents, il they are what
they ought to be, is that they should
stand for everything that would be
for the betterment of their communi-
ty.
No careful, painstaking conscien-
tious correspondent is going to say
anything insulting, or make any
personal thrusts to hurt good cit
izen's feelings. But he must be firm
and steadfast, dealing in general
principles in straightforward way,
without wavering, but then even at
that, some one is going to get in the
way and get hit. A minister or lee
turer, who may be an entire stran-
ger to the community, in making an
address may say something that will
Just fit and hit someone in his aud
fence, and it will hurt, yet the speak
er be entirely innocent and ignorant
of the fact, and who is to blame?
They simply were in his way, and in
such cases, a good motto is '1f the
slipper fits, put it on and wear it,"
Most every, if not all communities,
we are sorry to say, has persons
who wilfully do crooked things-lie,
cheat and steal. and everybody
knows it, and some of them have
cen detected time and again, yet
there are plenty of well-meaning
people who will say, "Oh we'll, let's
1ot say anything about it, Just let it
CO. ETC., etc., and that is just what
i thief wants you to do.
While these petty offenders may
not be guilty Of staging hold-up, or
robbing a store or stealing an auto
mobile, yet they are guilty of lot of
dirty, mean little tricks, which in
principle are just as bad.
Only a short time ago, a young
man living at Sharon, en-
ployed in a coal mine. was almost
crushed to death and was rushed to
the nearest hospital, while the wife
put the little home in order and
locked up things and made haste to
the bedside of her husband, to be
near and render whatever aid she
could. She had scarcely gotten out
