Met to tell us why he thinks himself
so popular with all factions Of the demo-

trying TO drag a state issue into national

A cramped ,Ranehman.

Down In Amarillo lives pioneer of
Texas who owns farm of 250.000
acres. He talks regretfully Of the good
old days when he could travel 450
miles and never see fence, rarely a
dwelling and more rarely a neighbor.
Now, to him, Texas is becoming too
thickly settled. His ranch of 250,000
acres seems small and cramped, and
he looks yearningly backward, mourn
ing for the old days and the old condi-
tions-gone beyond any possible re-
call. Odd, is it, that some of US futile
ly regret the onward march of things?
That 30 many of US seem to think
change always bad thing, and stag
nation thing to be desired? If We
had it-deadly dullness, sleepy mo-
notony--would we rest content, or
would we rise in protest and try to
bring about differences?

WE'LL HAVE TO
WEAR WHITE SOX

If the European war does. not
cease within a few weeks, and
there seems little prospects that it
will, everybody will have to wear
white stockings.
Aniline, the chemical base of all
dyes, comes from Germany. 1t is
said that there is no aniline pro-
duced in this country. Manufac-
turers of dyed goods have practi-
cally exhausted the supply in this
country.
All drug stores are being visited
by agents for the purpose of buy
ing up the entire supply. 1t is
stated that there is sufficient dye
on hand to last about two months.
Soon it is expected that every
body will be wearing white hose
on all occasions and the old black
standby will be given a tempor-
ary release.

selection for Sheriff of Wood
County, in the candidacy Of Gus
Skibbie, present Deputy Sheriff.
Mr.. Skibbie's ability to fill the
important office is questioned by
no one. To satisfy everybody, il
any capacity, is an utter impossi
bility. To deal square with every.
body is the duty of every official
and he who so conducts himself in
an official capacity is entitled tc
recognition and endorsement.
Mr.. Skibbie, always courteous
competent in every way, always
on the job, attending strictly to
business at all times, he certainly
deserves the support of every
voter, regardless of party. A vote
for Mr.. Skibbie for Sheriff is a
vote for clean administration.

1.-THE BETTER WAY"

One of the saddest, and yet
most sacred duties that mankind
is called upon to discharge is to
decide upon the final disposition
of the bodies of their loved ones
There are three methods only that
are provided, viz: Earth burial,
cremation and mausoleum en-
tombment. People everywhere
are shrinking from the thought of
consigning the bodies of their
dear ones to the cold, wet and
unfriendly grave.
Cremation, while acknowledged
by all to be sanitary, is against
the higher sentiment of the soul,
and few people can be educated
in its favor.
The Mausoleum movement is
consequently welcomed by nearly
every one who gives it serious
thought. Long before the Chris
tian era it was the popular
method of entombment.
Earth burial was almost un-
known to the ancients. The
bodies of nearly all Christian eel
ebrities from that of the pauper
Lazarus to Jesus Himself, We're
placed, not in graves, but in
tombs.
Every President of the United
States from Washington down to
the present day, who has passed
away, has found entombment
most fittingly in a Mausoleum.
In the past it was only posi-
BILE for the rich and distinguished
to receive this method of burial,
but with the advent of "Com-
munity Mausoleums," this method
is made possible to all. Surely
the placing of the body of dear
one in a dry, sanitary crypt in a
building built to endure for cen,
turies, has much to do in lessen,
ing the sorrows and heartaches OF
those grieving for the loss of the
loved ones whom the Master has
called.
There are a few choice crypts
yet to be taken in the Mausoleum
at Fort Meigs cemetery, Perrys-
burg.
The Mausoleum is open on
pleasant Sundays from 2 to S OF
any day in the week by appoint
ment and visitors are cordially
welcomed.

Earl X. Solether, the Republican
candidate for Prosecuting Attor-
ney of Wood county, is the son Of
Wilson Solether, the well-known
farmer of Jerry City, and is the
nephew of j. c. Solether of the
same place, who so ably served the
county as its delegate to the late
constitutional convention. Earl re-
ceived his early education in the
schools of Jerry City and after
taking a special literary course in
the High School at Ann Arbor,
Mich, and in the University of
Michigan, graduated from the law
department of the latter institu-
ton which, it is well known, gives
a diploma to "A man only after he
has proved his capacity by fully
completing its thorough course.
He has practiced law in the city
of Bowling Green for the past sew
EN- years, first as the law partner
of former Prosecuting Attorney
William Dunnipace, then as the
partner of Judge Guy G. Nearing.
The latter had been attracted by
the talents of the younger attor-
ney and so partnership was form
ed nearly three years ago, which
still continues. Mr.. Solether is fa-
vorably known to those who have
served as jurors or as witnesses,
and being an active Republican
who has served as secretary of the
executive committee, his candidacy
naturally met with encouragement
and resulted in his nomination.
He is one of those village-born
boys who constantly show them
selves equal to the demands made
upon them; and he will prove a
worthy successor to those who
have filed the office of prosecuting
attorney in the past.-Daily Senti-
nel-Tribune, Sept. "a, 1914.
