PARIS, Aug. 1.--American tour
lists from every quarter of Europe are
fiocking here. They are obsessed with
the single idea-getting home by the
first steamer. Few will realize their
wish, but all will get away eventu-
ally. This fact was emphasized at the
embassy today.
All Advised to Sail, via England.
All have been advised to cross to
England, where they can get the
steamers of the American, Red Star
and other transatlantic dimes. which
are expected to keep the sailing dates
right up to the very last minute.
There must of necessity be a long
delay for many, and this has its Sc
rious side. Most of the summer ex-
cursionists are school teachers, minis
tiers and people of moderate means.
They came here on excursions that
were so scheduled that their every
expenditure was provided for. Now
in many cases the steamers on which
their return passage was booked have
cancelled their sailings. These tour
lists are broke" in strange country.
Many have not enough cash left even
to cable home for funds If there is any
one at home from whom they can get
the money. Banks and hotels refuse
checks. Consul General Thackaray is
doing all he can to reassure his coun-
trymen and to get them out of France
without further delay.
Many Americans are in Germany
and Austria, but it is not believed any
of them are in danger.

CHANGE OF PASTORS.

At the recent Annual Conference
of the Ohio Western Methodist church
Rev. C. w. Hoffman Of the Methodist
church of Wauseon was assigned to
the Euclid Avenue Methodist church
of Toledo, and Rev. o. P. Hoffman,
whose last charge was at Delhi, a
suburb of Cincinnati, was assigned
to the Wauseon pastorate.
Rev. c. W. Hoffman's transfer to
the Euclid Avenue church comes as
a well merited promotion; he has serv-
ed the Wauseon church for five years
during that time 300 members have
been added to the church, extensive
repairs and new decorations have been
made on the church building and the
church has grown and prospered along
every line. Previous to his coming
to Wauseon Rev. Hoffman was pas
tor of the Fayette Methodist church
for five years where he left a splendid
record of pastoral work. Euclid Ave.
church is to be congratulated upon
securing so able and efficient a pas
tor. Mr.. Hoffman has proven him.
self a public spirited citizen, always
identifying himself with such move
ments as had for ther object the soci-
al, industrial or moral betterment of
the community and winning many
warm friends among the membership
of other churches than his own, as
well as among those who are allied
with no church.
He has worked in a spirit of chris
tan fellowship with the pastors of
the other churches of the town and he
will be missed from their councils.
While Mr.. Hoffman's many friends
will regret his going they cannot be
but glad to know of his promotion to
a larger field.

WAUSEON TO HAVE
COUNTY NORMAL SCHOOL

A letter received by school officials
in Wauseon announces that WauSeon
has been selected as the site of the
County Normal School in Fulton coun-
The school will be housed in the High
school building; the State will fur
nish Supervisor of Normal work who
will maintain a class room and teach.
The county Superintendent will devote
frona one hundred to two hunderd hours
to teaching in this department, dur
ing the school year and arrangements
will be made with grade and rural
schools for practice teaching by pu-
pills of the Normal school under the
direction Of the supervisor. This will
bring the opportunity for normal
training within the reach of every
teacher in the county and surely
ought to result in great benefit to
all the schools of the county both
town and country.
Students who complete the one
years course will be granted a coun-
ty certificate without examination,
and will be credited with one years
work at any of the State Normal
Schools of Ohio, SO that they can
complete their course at any Of our
State Normals in three additional
years.
Those who do not complete the
course will be given credit for their
attendance in place of summer school
attendance. This offers a splendid OPP
portunity to those who are intending
to become teachers.
All prospective students in this
Normal should at once communicate
with C. j. Biery, the County Superin-
PENDENT.

COULD EXPORT
CEMENT AT ONCEl

The United States imports relative
ly little hydraulic cement, only 84,-
$50 barrels having been imported in
1918, whereas the domestic produc-
ton in that year was nearly 93,000.-
900 barrels. There is little or no need
to import any cement, for all parts of
the country are now fairly well sup
piled with mills for the manufacture
of Portland cement, and the supply
of raw material is practically mex
haustible. A significant feature of
the cement industry, however, is the
fact that, though only about 80 per
cent. of the normal cement-producing
capacity of the country is employed
at the maximum, there is often an
overproduction; yet the exports of
hydraulic cement have scarcely ex-
ceeded 100000 barrels in any year,
this amount being only about 5 per
cent. of the total output-not suf-
ficient to take care of the surplus pro-
duction in a year of great activity
There seems to be excellent reas-
ons for stimulating the export trade
in cement as rapidly as possible, for,
although the export of a relatively
bulky and low-priced material such
direct profits to an individual produc-
er, indirectly the creation and main
tenance of an export trade should
benefit the industry at large through
the opportunity afforded tending to
maintain steadier prices. Bulletin

BORROWED LEGISLATION.

Ed Hughes, veteran legislative Par
limentarian, says that San investiga-
ton will prove beyond question that
Governor Cox did not originate any
of the laws fer which. he is studiously
claiming credit. He simply borrowed
them from other states or furthered
measures initiated by Republicans
but SO amended them that in each
case increased power was given to
the governor" Instances cited are
the Public Utilities Commission, al
ready provided for by previous legis-
lation and known as the Railway
Commission the chairman selected by
the members of the commission. Cox
had a new law enacted, under a chang
ed name making it possible for him
to appoint new members, also to die
tate the chairman. Another instance:
For the past several years even be-
fore Cox became governor, p%rosecut-
ing attorneys have given special at
tention to recreant husbands; hus-
bands have been compelled to provide
for their families or go to Jail. The
Cox Publicity Bureau is now giving
Cox praise for this crusade. But
Governor Cox didn't make the law, it
was passed before his time. What
enforcement there has been is the ac-
tivity of various county prosecutors
who got after the renegades and have
them Brought back.

WET AND DRY TERRITORY.
In view of the wet and dry vote t.

In view of the wet and dry vote to
be held in November, the following
facts will be of interest.
Nine states which before January
1, 1913, enacted prohibition laws were:
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, West Virginia and Geor-
gia. They have a population of near
ly $4,000, 900.
There are II states in which so
per cent, of the population live in So
called no-license territory. These are
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Flori-
da, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, South Carolina, South De-
kota, Texas, Vermont and Virginia,
which have a population of 5000, 900.
There are 13 states in which 25 per
cent. of the population live in no-li-
cense territory namely: California,
Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio,
Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming. At different times
% states have adopted the policy of
prohibition. All but nine for one rea-
son or another, have abandoned it for
local option and control of license. OF
the nine dry states the majority have
been dry but a few years and one,
West Virginia, went dry on August
1st- Statewide prohibition campaigns
are on this Fall in Virginia, Ohio, Cali
