HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE

As has been the custom for several
years, the Senior class of the High
School will conduct a lecture course.
However the class has decided to make
a change in the purpose of the course.
Heretofore the course has been con-
Quoted as a means of making money
with which to make up the shortage
resulting from the publication of the
High School Annual. This year the
class proposes to invest all the mon
ey it safely can in talent and thus
give the patrons of the course as
much as it a in really high grade
entertainment and instruction. In
other words, they wish to erect their
class monument in the lives of the
patrons of the ourse They do not
wish to make any money, they aim
simply to pay the talent. Later in
the year they will offer some kind of
a program and then will ask the peo-
pie of the community to come and
contribute to the class fund. They
hope the community at large will sup
port them in their plans for the year.
There r no numbers on the pro-
gram that are second class in any
sense Several numbers are the best
to be had in their line. Look over the
talent and decide for yourself as to
its merits and then come and hear
them. The following talent has been
engaged: Metropolitan Grand Quar-
tete, the best male quartete on the
Lyceum; Victor Murdoch, lecturer, an
Independent floor leader in the ma
tional House of Representatives; Noah
B~eilharz, entertainer; Apollo Con-
cert Company, a very popular organi-
cation in the Lyceum world; and
Lincoln Writ, Alaskan Explorer and
lecturer, one of the best men any
Lyceum has to offer. Buy your tick
cts at once and help the good
along.

MONUMENT BOOTH
Soldiers Monument Booth at The
Fair Contains Several Attractions
Subscription List Growing =
Roll of Honor.

The Booth of The Fulton County
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial and
Monumental Association at the South
entrance of Floral Hall on the Fair
grounds is worthy a visit from every
one who visits the fair during the
last two days of our Annual County
Exposition. There are a number of
special attractions in this booth which
everyone will be interested in. First
there is a big alligator shot by Com
rade H. T. Brigham of Losure Post
Z. A. R. last winter, at Windermere,
Florida, then next comes a beautiful
guilt exhibited by Mrs. Whittier of
Elmira, which will be of especial in
terest to the ladies.
There are on sale in this booth
copies of the poem, ga Memory of
Sixty Five" written by Mrs. Julia
Carter Aldrich. This poem COM
memorating the martyrdom of
Abraham Lincoln is one of the finest
pieces of poetry, Mrs. Aldrich has
ever written and aside from the value
of the poem itself it has an extra val
ue as a souvenir of one of the most
remarkable women Fulton county has
ever produced. The poem has been
copyrighted and Mrs. Aldrich has set
aside 200 copies for the benefit of the
Soldiers Monument Fund, these will
be sold for ten cents each and the pro-
ceeds of this sale will be paid directly
into the fund.
During part of the time Mrs. AL
drich herself will be in the booth and
her many friends will be glad of the
opportunity to meet her. There is
also the main purpose of the booth; to
complete the raising of the Monument
fund; Miss Weir the secretary of the
Association is in charge of the booth
and will give information in regard to
that fund, also issue certificates to all
who pay one dollar or more to this
fund. The Subscription lists will be
found here and there is the opportuni-
ty to subscribe to this patriotic cause.
Mr.. Allen Shades offer stands to pay
the last $50, to complete this fund.
On Wednesday the fund grew by
$21.00 of which $1,000 was paid in
cash and 5000 in new subscriptions.

THE PROOF OF PUDDING Is IN
THE CHEWING OF THE STRING

Lew Houtz of Longbeach. Cali
.fornia, recently arrived in Liberty
Center with his family, tent and other
luggage, having crossed the desert
the mountains and the plains in a
Ford car reaching Liberty Center, O.,
in 10 days. A Texan also recently
passed through here with his family
and tent in a Ford car having crossed
the desert and mountains from Texas
to California four times and is now
on a two years tour of America in
the same Ford.
John Wanamaker the great New
York and Philadelphia merchant in
1911 bought so Ford delivery cars,
which mechanical engineers told him
could not possibly last more than
n yea at his work over the car
tracks and cobble stone streets of
these cities. But Mr.. Wanamaker
recently reported that after more than
three years of this abusive service,
these cars are all on the job and in
good condition. Coming closer home
we find the old Urban Weber car
that. he had driven over 10000 miles
(mostly heavy livery work) still on
the Job of doing hack service to the
fair grounds, and apparently running
like new.
The 1914 license record of the var
ious states shows that practically all
the Ford cars that were ever built
were licensed to run this year.
There is a reason for all things and
the secret of Ford endurance lays in
their vanadiun steel construction.
This is the toughest steel known to
the steel industry.

So far we have been unable to get
the enrolment for the beginning of
the school year 1914-1915 in the Wau-
seon schools from the Primary or
High school, but in the grades which
are housed in the old Normal build
ing we have ~ascertained that the first
weeks enrolment was three hundred
and thirteen distributed among the
teachers as follows:
Mrs. Bartlett, 81; Mr.. Andrews, Al;
Miss Knibloe, 40; Miss Edgar, SO;
Miss Simpson. "a; Miss Taft, 40;
Miss Ayers, Sc; Miss Stotzer, SO. The
usual problem of accommodating the
pupils in the various rooms of the
building confronts the teaching corps
and of course uses up time, energy
and patience that ought to be devoted
to the actual teaching, with the result
that the pupils of our schools are the
losers and u teachers are uneeess-
arlly worn out. From person
al point of view it is very poor econ
omy to continue to use the old Nor
NAL building for the grade schools in
it's present condition, the school board
has for the past several years made
the best of a bad situation but it has
been at the expense of the efficiency
of our schools and the pupils have not
been getting the training they might
have had under better housing con-
.ditions. In the first place the Normal
building was not built for. public
school purposes, and has always been
inconvenient for the grade work.
In the second place the ventilation of
this building and the sanitary condi-
lions of the building are in bad shane.
Don't take our word for it, but visit
this school building and see for your
self what the conditions actually are.
We believe that every citizen who
gives this matter careful considera-
ton and investigation will agree with
us that Wauseon needs a new build
ing for the primary and intermediate
grades of our public schools. What
the Board of Education, Superintend-
emit and teachers think of the matter
we have not ascertained; the above
views are the personal views of the
editor and are based on observation
that has extended through several
years.

AUTO ACCIDENT.

EE 49, H. =-A
The first auto accident and up to
the time going to press the only one
we have heard of in connection with
the Fair traffic, occurred last Tues
dav morning when Jonas Snyder was
driving an auto from Wauseon to the
fair grounds, having as a passenger,
Jesse Knapp of Canal Dover. a con-
cession man on the fair grounds.
The machine caught up with a bug
gy from which a horse was being led;
just as Mr.. Snyder was about to pass
the buggy the led horse suddenly
wheeled crossways of the road and
directly in front of the auto. Mr..
Snyder had either to run into the
horse or into the ditch and he took
the ditch with the result that his pass
enger was thrown out, breaking his
leg and the auto was badly wrecked.
The injured man was brought to the
offices of DIR. Jay H. Miller in Wau-
seon and doctors Campbell and Miller
set the broken bone after which Mr..
Knapp was taken in the lves-Edgar-
Knight ambulance to the city hospital.

A O FLIGHT.

The flight of the Atwood %aeroplane
at the Fair grounds Wednesday af-
ternoon was of short duration and a
disastrous ending. One of Atwood's
pupils was in the machine which made
a good ascent but the driver seemed
to lose control of the machine and it
came down in some telephone wires
wrecking the machine but not injur-
ing the driver.

FOR CEMENT MAKERS.

American manufacturers have not
yet made the most of their opportuni-
ties to establish greater export trade.
according to Geo. Otis Smith in Bulle-
tin 500 of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. Statistics show that the
export of cement from England, Ger
many, Belgium and France not only
have been considerably greater than
those from the United States, but
have borne a much higher ratio to the
production in these countries. The
quantity of cement exported by
France in recent years is estimated
to have reached at least % per cent.
of her production, and that of Ger
many about IL per cent. There are
few cement plants in South American
countries, and in the past these coun-
tries have been supplied mainly from
Europe. There is evidently an OBJ
portunity now for the cement indus
try of the United States to secure
this trade.

Officers of the Navy in Washing

naval engagements that may occur
during the European War; a large
sea fight my have considerable eff
feet upon warship design of the fu-
ture. According to recent figures set
forth in Government Reports, the fol-
lowing may appear startling to some
American citizens; of every dollar re-
ceived for the payment of Uncle Sans
great national business, 1856 cents
goes for the preparation of war-the
Army and Navy.

IMPORTS OF SALT.

Common salt continues to be inn
ported in considerable quantity, more
than a million barrels coming to At
lantic ports last year, according to
the United States Geological Survey.
The country is amply able, however,
to supply the entire home demand, as
the capacity of its salt mines and
works is in excess of the present out
put. The imports last year were only
So per cent. of the total consumption,
whereas in 1890 the percentage was
17.2.
