EAST FRANKLIN SCHOOL
Enjoy a Visit to Wauseon-Points of
Interest at the County Seat Visit
ed by the School, Conducted by
Members of Board of Education of
Franklin-An Educational and
Pleasure Trip Combined.


On Friday last the East Franklin
school, District No. Z, Franklin town
ship, Miss May Pike teacher, spent
day in sight seeing in Wauseon. Mr.
George Leu, of the Board of Educa-
tion, together with Miss Pike, the
teacher, originated the idea of the
trip to Wauseon as splendid COM
bination of holiday treat for the
pupils of the school and a matter of
education in things that are not
found in books. The idea of becom-
ing familiar with the things and af-
fairs nearest home and learning to
understand and appreciate them is
often overlooked in our system and
the emphasis is placed on the things
that are far away. fhe parents of
the pupils brought them into town
and accompanied them on their sight
seeing tour. At Brigham & Guilford
Company Department Store the par
ty was entertained with a Victrola
concert and each pupil was present
ed with sack of candy and Christ
mas card as souvenirs of their visit.
Led by Mr.. Leu the party inspected
the printing establishment of the
Tribune and the methods of setting
type and printing in that office; the
court house and county Jail, the sess-
ion room and gymnasium of the Ives
Boys Brotherhood, the Van Camp
Condensory, the schools and the Car
negie library were among the points
visited. 1t was a happy party and
every member seemed to be thor
oughly enjoying the occasion, the
adults of the party quite as much as
the children. Some of the children
were making their first visit to the
county seat and those who have Wis
tied Wauseon before have generally
come on business or on shopping trips
which gave little or no time for sight
seeing. Miss Pike, the present teach
er of East Franklin school, is a pro-
duct of the Wauseon high school and
the indications are that she is a very
competent teacher. The enrolment
of the school is thirty-two and of this
number twenty-nine enjoyed the trip
last Friday. Following are the
names of the pupils who were in the
party:

JOHANY'S CHRISTMAS GIFT
Continued from page two

Nurse" she said, GI want to ask
you something. Will he ever walk
again?"
Nurse Blair was silent. They might
have been alone in the ward, SO
closely did the hum of conversation
hedge them in. Each was with her
own that Christmas morning and had
no thought but for hers.
'Will he ever walk? Will he ever
stand?" The widow grasped the
nurses hands tightly as though cling
ing to her as her last hope in life.
Tell me-" she pleaded
''Never-unless miracle happens"
answered Nurse Blair, and the WON
ans hands fell and she turned to the
child and smiled. Then Nurse Blair
understood why some of the Madon-
mas were painted smiling.

bed, 81 want to whisper something. ;.
The widow knelt down, but the
childish whisper was loud enough to
reach the nurses ears.

you cry"
The widow placed her arms round
his neck and pressed his face to hers

Willie is boy who is very much

SO many toys that his parents, instead
of giving him toys, told him he could
carry out one of his cherished plans.

more things now than you can break

His voice sank almost to whisper,

silence in the little room. Then, by way
of answer, she drew the poor, tired
face against her breast with a ges.

In that moment, Lander felt that to

Extra Hazards and Insurance
The following is quoted from last
years bulletin as the suggestion con-
tanned therein is thought worthy of
repetition.
Have our storekeepers and home
owners ever stopped to think that
these same beautiful Christmas decor
ations might bear an important rela-
tion to their fire insurance?
"f not, let them give heed to the
following: The National Fire Pro-
lection Association has recently made
a most important suggestion or rath-
er has called attention to very i'm
portant fact. Here it is. If your in
surance is written in a standard pol
ICY you will find clause to this eff
feet: This entire policy unless 9TH
erwise provided by agreement en-
dorsed hereon or added hereto shall
be void if the hazards be in
creased by any means within the con-
troll or knowledge of the insured.
"Any person who buys a policy of
insurance on store or home buys it
with the abve understanding. To de-
liberately do anything or permit to
be done anything which will increase
the dangers of the destruction of the
building by fire is not only dealing
dishonesty with the insurer but gives
him defense to any action on a pol
icy for a loss incurred by reason of
the added danger"
This affords a very material reason,
in addition to all others, why the ut
most care should be taken by all in
sured property owners in preparing
for and observing the Christmas
season.

NIBLACK ON
STAND AS
WITNESS

Oklahoma City, Feb. 2l.-"The rea-
son the Guthrie Leader claims were
lost in the auditors office was be-
cause OF malice and an attempt at
extortion on the part Of this man
Trapp," was the statement made to
the senate court of impeachment
Thursday afternoon by Leslie G. Nib
lack, president Of the Leader Publish
ing company, In explaining his side Of
the controversy over certain Leader
claims which figure in the trial Of
State Printer Giles W. Farris. Nib
lack managed to get in this statement
after repeated efforts on the part Of
the house managers to prevent it by
interposjng objections to questions by
Attorney Giddings, which sought to
bring out the feeling that is supposed
to exist between Trap and Niblack.
This statment was made by Niblack
during his explanation Of the Leader
claim for printing $500 copies Of the
constitution, which it is alleged the
state never received. Niblack was
shown the claim and recognized it as
duplicate Of the original, which he
said was maliciously destroyed or
lost in the office Of M. L. Trap, state
auditor"
When asked by Attorneys Giddings
his reason for saying it was "malic-
iously lost" Niblack replied, absolute
malice This man Trap for moro than
year and half did everything he
could to harass the Leader company.
This man Trapp at various times told
me the salary Of his office was not
sufficient At this point the house
managers objected to that line OF tes-
timony, which was overruled. Contin-
uing, Niblack said; 1T was an at
tempt at extortion. He wanted NC
to come through and would not do 1t.
For that reason the claims we're lost.
The attitude of his office toward the
Leader company finally became such
that had to employ Mr.. Mcclure
Of the house managers to look into it
for me. Finally in 1910 had to man
damas Trapp to compel him to honor
a claim for work done for the corpor-
alton commission.
Mr. Niblack offered the same ex-
planation Of the discrepancy in the
difference in dates on the duplicate
claims as that given by Henry E. Der
win, vice president OF the Leader com
pany. at Wednesdays night session Of
the impeachment court.
On cross examination by Represen-
tatiye Wyand, Niblack was compelled
to admit that he had sworn falsely to
the claims as far as dates were con
cerned. The claims we're sworn to and
acknowledged BY a notary public, who
at that time was a bookkeeper for the
Leader company, during the early part
of 1911 and made to appear as though
they had been sworn to during 1910.
This was done, Niblack explained, to
correspond with the dates on the orig
inal claims. The claims are not mark
ed duplicates and Mr. Niblack was not
prepared to give the senate any ex
PLANTATION why they we're hot so mark
ed.
Niblack was asked by Representa-
tive Wyand if the juggling in dates
was not done in order draw the money
from an appropriation that would
otherwise not have been available and
renlied that IL was not.
