NEWSPAPERS APPRECIATED.

We are aware that hundreds of
newspapers over the state. of Ohio
have received, as we have, the letter
which appears below from J. H.
Newman retiring State Librarian, and
such letters of appreciation we do not
feel like passing over without notice.
Editors are human, and like to be ap-
preciated:
"To him who covers our frailties
with the cloak of charity, and gives
US regularly the pulse of the world,
these lines are most respectfully dedi-
Gated. No library can assume to fill
the place of the press of the communi-
ty. The modern newspaper, even of
the remotest district, is a powerful
engine of education. It's effect upon
society for good OF evil, is most no.
ticeable. My observation is that the
newspaper of today is more cleanly
than the publication of former times,
and its influence upon the citizenship
is most desirable. Realizing, as I do.
that no mar gives so much value for
so little returns as the newspaper
man, before retiring from my posi-
ton as State Librarian. I want to
thank the press for the great help it
has given me in the discharge of my
official duties as a servant of the peo-
ple."
Very truly yours.
J. H. NEWMAN.
State Librarian.

WANTED IN THE PAPER.

An Indiana man went into a news
paper office the other day and told an
escapade in which he had lately figur-
ed. 1t reflected no credit upon him;
in fact, it was in the nature of a scan
dial. but he wanted it printed
The fellow said that where "re-
ports" were circulated, and he knew
that the report would be circulated,
they were not nearly so accurate as
where they were circulated in the pa
per. People who pass gossip from
lip to lip are not nearly so accurate
as the daily newspaper. So to pre-
vent great exaggeration of the esca-
pade, he desired the facts printed in
the paper and given to the world, be-
cause the world would be certain to
get hold of the matter anyway and to
exaggerate it.
And the fellow was correct. Less
harm is done parties through the pub
LEGATION of reports in newspapers
than by having them peddled about
the streets by irresponsible persons
who do not know the facts. 1t would
be less injurious to a business con
Germ to have the full financial condi-
ton of it's business printed at once
where there are "rumors" of insolv-
ency, than to try to cover up the
facts and thus give underground cir
culation to statements that are moi
true,

A TRIBUTE.

The Wauseon Chapter D. A. R. has
been saddened by the passing on to
the Great Beyond of a charter, and
also n of its most loyal members,
Minerva Pritchard Lord.
We loved her for her. optomism and
kindly interest in every good work;
a RELIGIOUS trust breathed through all
her life and those who knew her best
believe that such a life with it's full
ness of years and it's crown of bless
ings, is a rich legacy to the commune
ty. She has been. fine in spirit, a
woman who has fulfilled all the du-
ties of life with patience and hopeful
courage and faith in the triumph of
her Christian belief.
To her nearest and dearest friends
we give our sincerest sympathy and
with them we shall miss the sunshine
of her c~heerfulness. but believe that
for her a more beautiful day has
dawned.

A TRTHTTTE

In the death of Harriet Brigham
Sohn the Wauseon Chapter D. A. R.
loses a most devoted charter men,
Der one who has served in the var
ious offices from its origination.
Though laid aside for a few years
from the active work of the chapter,
she was always loyal to its best in
terests and her love for its patriotic
ideals was not lost because of enforc-
ed absence. We shall miss her gen
ial personality and wise counsel.
Her home was first, but her
strength of character made her opin-
ions sought by every one. To know
her was to love her. A friend has
said Il am not thinking of Hattie,
she is better off, free from all her
pain and suffering, but it is we who
are left behind that l am sorry for.
Our most sincere sympathy is with
the near and dear friends who are left
lonely and must still live and toll and
endure. The truest consolation is
her own beautiful belief in the heaven
where friends shall meet and know
each other and be satisfied.
'The loved and lost! Why do we call
them lost?
Because We miss item from our on
ward road!
Gods unseen angel DER our pathway
crossed,
Looked on US all. and loving her the
most,
Stcaishtway relieved her from life's
weary Iced.
She is not lost; she is within the
door
That shuts out loss and every hurtful
thing,
With Angels bright and loved ones
gone before
In her Redeemer's presence evermore
And God Himself, her Lord and Judge
and King.
Death hath made no breach j..
In love and sympathy, in hope and
trust
No outward sign or sound our ears
can reach
But there's an inward spiritual speech
That greets us still tho mortal tongue
be dust.
1t bids us do the work that she laid
down,
Take up the song where she broke
off the strain;
So, journeying till we reach the
heavenly town
Where are laid up our treasures and
our crown,
And our lost loved ones will be found
again. +

MEMS MEETING.

When the mems meeting at the
BAPTIST church began it was intended
to hold one or possibly two meetings
to show the bearing the present war
may have in fulfllment of the pro-
phetic teachings of the bible, but as
the interest increased they were con-
tinued a Sunday or two longer and
were brought to a close when special
meetings began at some of the other
churches. So many men have re-
quested that they continue a few
more Sundays and have offered to
help meet any expense that may be
incurred that it has been decided to
have another meeting next Sunday af-
ternoob at 2:30. Subject: Satan, His
Origin, Work and Destiny.
All men are invited. No collection
taken.

WARMING TO DRUGGISTS.

A mar limped into a drug store in
a Pennsylvania town and asked for
a corr plaster. He was given it. He
then requested that he be allowed to
go back where the prescriptions are
filled to put it on. The druggist as
scented, accompanied him and the man
took his shoe off to place the plaster
on the offending corn. Just then
there was a rap on the cigar counter
at the front of the store and the drug
gist went to wait on the customer.
The corn sufferer came out soon,
thanked the druggist for his kindness
and left. After a while the druggist
discovered that $50 worth of dope
that was in the prescription depart
ment was gone. Mr.. Corn Sufferer
and his cigar pal were afterwards dis
covered with it. Two others work
ed a similar scheme in another city,
excepting instead of the painful corn
the man had spilled a bottle of ink or
his hands and requested of the drug
| gist a chance to wash up. In this
case all the heroin the druggist hae
| was taken.

One of the most elaborate social
events that has transpired in Wauseon

electric light globe surrounded the
walls of the hall from this colorado
green and white bunting was draped
to the center of the ceiling forming
a canopy, with the bunting quantities

ferns and lilies. Down stairs in the

fruit punch was served to the thirsty
dancers. Members of the fire depart
ment lent their aid in preparing the
building for the event. The music

from Delta and one each from Bryan

SETTLE UP DAY.

A town in Iowa has held a,"settle

fully and by means of it the mer-
chants We're able to pay thousands of
dollars of local Indebtedness thus
keeping much of the money in circula-
lion right in town. The average mer-
chant can always find a ready use for
the bills receivable on his books, and
in many instances. some of the most
dilatory in paying their bills are the
class of people against whom he does
not like to take harsh action but who
should realize that their accounts
should be paid up promptly.
