Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1913-12-19

The data for the following article
was furnished by Mr.. C. J. Ives and
as Mr.. Ives is not in the habit of
advertising his own virtues or works
the editors desire to state that this
splendid work with and for the boys
of Wauseon originated with and has
been perpetuated by Mr.. Ives. In this
work Mr.. Ives has given to our vii
lage a gift that is with US the year
round and that is enjoyed not only by
the boys who are members of the
Brotherhood but: as well by mothers
and fathers and those men who are
not so old that they have forgotten
their own boyhood. The benefits of
this organization have not only been
felt in the past and enjoyed in the
present but they will reach far out
into the future, for whatever con-
tributes to the healthy and happy
and wholesome atmosphere of boy
hood, contributes to the sterling
character of the men whose boyhood
was surrounded by such an, atmos-
phere. The influences that help to
form the ideals and shape the char
acter of life are the influences that
come early in the life, during the
years of childhood and youth. Mr..
Ives has through his work with the
boys bestowed a great and perman-
ent gift upon our community and we
want him to know that it is appre-
ciated. 1t was very soon after Mr..
Ives entered upon the duties of his
office as county auditor that, having
recognized the need and the oportun-
ity, he began his work for and with

the Brotherhood boys are now en-
rolled as Boy Scouts; however this
is optional with the lads and not
compulsory. The council who assist
in the work is composed of the fol-
lowing Wauseon men: Hon. F. H.
Reighard, Judge F. A. Barber, Chas.
Jordan, Fl. F. Dimke, F. E. Kenyon,
H. F. Davis, Henry Schlatter, E. l..
Burgoon, l. F. Karschner, A. Earl
Harger, F. H. Wolf and VIM. Domi-
ito, Mr.. d. S. Knight, county treas
urer, being assistant scout master.
While the organization is doing ex-
cellent work, the boys realize that
they could not have made the pro-
gress and the club could not have
been so successful had it not been
for the hearty Cooperation of the
parents of the lads and the splendid
financial support OF the people of
Wauseon and vicinity and by the
kind, encouraging and helpful words
of numerous friends who have been
helpful in so many ways.
Plans for the future include many
new departures and forward steps in
volving better facilities for out OF
door sports and recreation in Wau-
seon and helping to make the village
clean, beautiful and fit in every way
for men and women, boys and girls
to live and work and grow up in. The
boys desire to show their apprecia-
ton of what has been done for then
by helping others and the Brother
hood bids fair to be one of the perm
nnent institutions Of the town.

Nurse Blair had taken the ball, but
she had no time to conceal it before
the little woman in black had come
hurrying to the bedside, and she
stood holding it rather foolishly and
self-consciously and could not face
those searching eyes.
"Ive brought him this-and these"
said Mrs. Ward, holding out the box
of bricks and the mechanical toy.
"But you-you've given him that?"
Nurse Blair stammered something,

at the present time numbers over a
hundred, divided into three divisions,
Junior, Intermediates and Seniors,
each having their own separate off
GERS and conducting business indie
pendent of the others, yet all part
of the great organization.
The purpose of the organization is
to assist the home, the church and
the school in developing Wauseon
boyhood into noble, clean, useful,
young manhood and who would not
be interested in an organization that
stands for such a purpose? 1t is
true that few boys, who could not
seemingly realize the value of good
character, have had to be dropped
from the membership, but the major
ity of the membership do realize the
Importance of the work and are en-
thusiastic workers IN the ranks. AS
an indication of the results of the
work among the boys of Wauseon,
Judge F. A. Barber of. the Junvenile
court, has, during the past four years
only had one single lad, who was
connected with the Brotherhood,
brought into his court to answer to
a misdemeanor.
The organization has been a help
not only to the members but its help
fulness has also extended to the as
sistance of proper observance of
Memorial Day, Independence Day and
other national holidays, conducting
athletic meets, encouraging it's mem
bers to excel in good clean sports. A
Boy Scout organization is also a
feature of the work; thirty-thr OF

the boys which has continued during
the years until it has reached it's
present magnitude. Before we print
the outline history of the organiza-
tion, which has been furnished US, we
wish to state that we believe that Mr..
Ives and the boys certainly deserve
the hearty cooperation of every
right minded and public spirited per-
son in this work, which is after all
our own work and there can be no
better expression of sincere apprecia-
tion than hearty co operation. We
have reason to take pride and be
thankful for the boys of our village
and especially for the Ives Boys Bro
therhod and its founder.
The brotherhood was organized
May 9th, 1910, with a membership of
twelve lads; the first officers were:
President, Carl Geringer; vice presi-
dent, Carl Miller, now of Kendall
vile, Ind; Secretary, Wesley Acker-
man; treasurer, Roscoe Marks.
The meetings were held in the
Methodist church at first but as the
organization continued to grow 9TH
er rooms were secured in the Sohn
building, the boys using the rear
room; about two years ago the Bro
therhood took over the entire upper
floor of this building, using the front
room for session and reading room
and the large hall for gymnasium
work. Their hall is excellently equip
ped for boys work Their "gym'
equipment is the best in our town ant
is a great feature of the work.

SHALL They BE REMEMBERED? :?


Christmas is in itself a memorial, the memorial of
one who gave himself to i men from the bond
age of sin; the memorial has been fttingly kept by
remembering each recurrence of Christmas day
those who in need and those whom we honor and
love with the gifts that appropriate. In the six
ties there were body of men who up in our
land to meet great emergency; they were inspired
by the sentiment which expressed by Julia Ward
Howe in "The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
"In the beauty of the lilies,
Christ was born across the sea,
With glory in his bosom
That transfgures you and me;
AS he died to make holy
Let US die to make men free
AS God is marching on"
Shall not these men be remembered by the people
of Fulton county, not only Christmas day but
every day in the year?
How can this memory be better kept and the ques
tion of the veteran soldier expressed in the poem
below better answered than by erecting in this
county monument to their honor and their memory.

1878 CORN SPECIAL
A Great success-so Says Mr.. Rid
die in Letter to Tribune Editor.
Splendid Receptions All Along the
Line-No Mishaps.

:. The 1913 Buckeye Corn Special
-FOUR Is now an incident of history
YET 1t is not past. The things seen
and heard on that wonderful trip are
being experienced now, and they will
continue to be experienced in thought
and dream for years to come.
Our party of one thousand has
grown into a party of one hundred
thousand and likely it will continue
to grow. Fathers, mothers, brothers,
sisters, cousins, whole communities,
are experiencing the information and
inspiration of the industry of Pitts
burg. the beauty of the scenery of
the Allegheny Mountains, the street
parade in Harrisburg, the reception

the afternoon at Mount Vernon, the
home and tomb of the Father of our
country, Ohio Night and the address,
as by our senators and congressman
and the day in Philadelphia.
The trip has proven a university of
information and inspiration to every
one who experienced it. A party of
one thousand people constitutes an
army in size.s 1t was gigantic un-
dertaking. Foresight and fortitude
were required upon the part of the
Agricultural Commission of Ohio in
promoting it. Ohio will feel the up-
lifting effect of it for years to come.
Not an accident or an unpleasant
incident mars the record of the con-
duct of the 1913 Buckeye Corn Spec
ial Tour. Universally it is pronounc-
ed grand success in every particu-
lar. To you who foresaw the signifi-
canoe of the. undertaking and sup
ported it so ably, Ohio is indebted.
+ Now is the time to lay the foun-
dation for bigger and better things
in the future. Every county and
every local community should estab-
lish working organization to handle
this junior contest movement. Those
working organizations should be COM
posed of a combination of all inter-
ests, farmers, bankers, merchants,
preachers, teachers. 1t may be known
as Rural Welfare League or by any
other name. A campaign of work
should be mapped out and pursued.
1t will mean great things for your
county and community. Boost it.
Very truly yours,

When the Boys have all departed,
When the Comrades more,
When the bugle call has sounded,
On that everlasting shore;
When the Post Rooms are deserted
And their campfires sumber long;
Who will tell the world the story,
When the boys are gone?
Who will tell about the marches
From Atlanta to the sea,
Who will halt, and wait, and listen,
When they hear the reveille,
Who will join to swell the chorus,
Of some old Grand Army song,
Who will tell the world the story
When the boys gone?
Who will tell of Appomattox,
And the glory that won,
When defeat our banners,
Who will tell about "Bull Rum"
What in prison pen suffered;
How watched and waited long,
Who will tell the world the story
When the boys gone?
Who will tell about the calling,
Of three hundred thousand more
How they rallied round banner
How they sent it to the fore,
How they crushed the hosts of treason,
How they fought against the wrong;
Who will tell the world the story
When the boys are gone?
Who will tell of Abraham Lincoln
When he held the helm of state,
Who will rise to toast his glory,
AS the chief among our great;
Who will tell of Grant and Sherman,
And that patriotic throng;
Who will tell the world the story
When the boys gone?
Will our children's children tell it,
Will they tell about the foe
That their grandsres met in battle,
Back many years ago
Will they cherish dear "old glory"
Will they sing it's praise in song,
Will they tell the world the story,
When the boys are gone?

STOKES AS PROTECTOR
OF HONEST ENTERPRISE

No man In New Jersey has done
more to bring about wise and consist
ent corporation legislation than Ed
ward G. Stokes. All his endeavors
have been to punish vicious exploita-
ton and TO protect honest business
When he was governor he secured the
passage of the only efficient law yet
enacted to punish the excessive water
ing of public utility stock
He proposed in his message of 1905
the only practical way yet found to
prevent stock watering in private bust
ness corporations. In fact. Mr. Stokes
has either done or proposed to have
done the only practical things that
could be done to reach those who were
guilty of deceiving the public and at
the same time affording the legal
means of protecting honest business.
He was the only man in public life
who dealt with the subject of corpora
lions in statesmanlike and progress
sive way.

On OUR local page will be found re-
port of the libel suit instituted by AS
semblyman Peacock against the editor
Of the Palmyra Nes0s We have given
more space to the subject than it really
deserves so far as the editor is concern
ed. The fellow is, we fear, being used to
pull chestnuts out of the fire for those
who are not giving him the proper in
formation. An instance of this may be
seen in the following item in the last is
sue Of the Nes0s: Some thirty years
ago, If | am correctly informed, there
was an embezzlement of funds by one
and to prevent such a recurrence
and to protect the county the legislature
authorized the appointment of an audi
tor for this specific purpose. The name
published by the Palmyra Nea0s is not
given here because the man named has
been dead for many years and we do not
believe in practising the ghoulish trick
OF robbing the grave for any purpose. To
show how nearly correct is the informa-
ton that was given to Sleeper we may
relate the facts. The embezzlement re-
ferred to was state affair and had no
connection with county matters. 1t oc-
Cured in 1874 and the first Auditor elect
ed in this county was chosen in 1872. So,
it will easily be seen how near the truth
the statement reached. Brother Sleeper
refers to the Mount Holly NEws-we re-
greet to be compelled to travel under the
same name that his sheet bears, but we
were in the field first-and intimates
that we committed cowardly attack in
one OF our items, and asks if we have
the manliness to apologize. In return
we might ask Sleeper if he intends to
apologize to the Prosecutor for the dirty
insinuation that the county official
favored Peacock. But this is more space
than the fellow is really entitled to, and
we will leave him to jury of his peers
or superiors.
