GOLDEN WEDDING

On Tuesday May 18th, 1915. there
was celebrated at the residence of
the happy couple in York township
Fulton County Ohio, the fftieth an
nlversary of their marriage. Both
bride and groom were in excellent
health and in their characteristic gen
ial spirit and happy mood. Forty
nine years ago they located on the
site they now occupy which was then
a dence forest through which the sun
was hardly visible. An improvised
cabin was their first accommodation en-
larged after while and till later re-
placed by the commodious residence
they now so much enjoy with it's
modern appointments and elaborate
furnishings.
Here George Free and his youthful
wife enjoyed clearing and improving
of their home and the rearing of
their cultured and religious daughters
anu their thrifty and devoted son.
George and Hannah Free have been
faithful members of the Taylor Meth
odist Episcopal church attentive to
Sunday school, public worship, class
and prayer meetings. Their chill
dren have all married members of the
same church. All have comfortable
homes. The son. Ira Free joins
land with his father and the daugh-
ters, Mrs. Thomas Murray and Mrs.
Conway Murray reside in the same
county.
The golden wedding was most en-
1oyable event. The children prepar-
ed and served the abundant dinner,
the grand children rendered assist
ance in the entertainment of the oc-
casion.
Two of their chilren died in infancy
and thus sorrow has sometimes inter
rupted the joy of life but Divine grace
sustained at such times.
Before the guests left all were, as
sembled in the living room and fam
lily alter services were conducted by
the pastor, where this family in years
past worshiped together when the
children were at home and the parents
were strong and active.
The happy couple were rendered
most hearty congratulations and val
liable gifts were left to remind them
of the day and promise to attend
the Diamond wedding if possible.

Ohio Dairy's in a Fast Played
Game-ScOre 2 to 5. The Lineup
And the Score by Innings.

Wauseon defeated the Ohio Dairy
Baseball team Sunday in fast game.
The game was won on errors, the
Ohio Dairy bunch falling down at
critical moments and the Wauseon
team was able to defeat Les Spies

two seasons.

on his plan of "Squatter Sovereignty"
jefferson Davis, Tombe, Hunter, Yam
cey, Mason and Sliddell and other
leadtrs refused to squat. They press
ed the theory of states rights to the
crate States of America and the Ci-
vii War were the results
The theory that the parts were
greater than the whole brought on
the war, and while it was proven de-
ficient and weak at Appomattox, yet,
it is still alive in many quarters.
Some ideas and practices are not e.
Eliminated easily. They seem to lin
ger along their tracks in spite of
everything we might do, even after
we have sung their reQueims. 1t is
difficult for us humans to sacrifice
personal interests for the veal of all
concerned. Or, in other words, it
is so much in keeping with our wish
es that we be considered first, and
whether We believe it or net, this is the
very thing that brings to pass our
troubles. When we continue to wish
along this line, sooner or later, we
become bold enough to expect it. and
VIC hlOW WHdI udppSuo WucI we are
not gratified. We disturb the peace
of the community. Selfishness is to
be Stunned on all hands, and as we
glance here and there, we cannot but
tremble at our own foolishness. The
welfare of the whole is to have the
first place in our minds, and what we
say and do should always be said
and done with this idea in view
There is no other idea strong enough
to establish peace among the children
of men. 1t seems to be contrary to
the nature of our God that such
should be the case. We are parts
of the whole human family, just as
the states were and are parts of the
Union, and never are we justified in
setting this fundamental principle
aside; because, when we do it. we
thereby open an avenue which is full
of peril. 1t might be that the blood
of our own children will flow through
it. The Civil War ought to be con-
vincing instance to US all.
We nave seen that the cause of the
Civil War was not bred in the sixties.
We have seen that it was before that
period, and we have seen also that
the temper of our fathers would not
permit it to be settled only as they
waded through oceans of blood.
This was the only convincing argu-
ment to them. There were great,
conscientious men among them, but
their appeals, stout and pathetic, fail
cd to change their attitudes and de-
sires. They had to be imprisoned,
starved, wounded and killed before
thew saw that their point of view,
their philosophy of statecraft was
wrong. The terrible outcome of the
issue they did not perceive before it
was too late. And as we try to pre-
sent ourselves that Sunday afternoon
of fifty years ago in the parlor of Mr.
Mclean at Appomattox, we are made
TO feel the dreadfulness of mistakes
The solemnity of the occasion is de-
pressing General Grant sat on one
side of the table and General Lee or
the other. Very few words were
spoken, for both were silent men
N-+ those few words were teemins
with meaning. They proved that the
South had to build its character upor

GOOD ROADS BILL
Cass Good Roads Bill in Jeopardy
Conference Committee Fail to Re-
port Unless Report is Made Thurs
day of This Week Bill Will Die
House Amendments Block Passage.

When the members of the gener-
al assembly recessed in Columbus
last Thursday for one week, they de-
parted without completing their work
on the Cass road codifcation law, con-
sidered the most important road law
ever introduced in an Ohio law max
ing body.
The bill passed the senate first, but
in going through the house, in was
amended. The senate refused to
concur in these amendments, and a
conference committee of senators
Cass of Putnam, Stone of Lorain,
Holden of Butler and Representative
Sprague of Scioto, Swan of Miami
and Quinlisk of Shelby, was appoint
ed to adjust differences between the
| two houses, and make report. The
conference reached an agreement but
failed to report, and unless they do
so on next Thursday and that report
| is adopted, the good roads bill will
meet its death.
81 want the general public to know
that this big good roads bill is in
Jeopardy, said Senator Cass the au-
thor of the measure. "This Bill is
such a great step forward that I
would feel as though Ohio is about
to slip back in the mud if it is not
made a law. The codifcation of
road laws has been demanded by su-
preme court justices, who said the
present measures on this subject are
so complicated and ambiguous that it
is difficult for the courts to get any
meaning out of them. Provisions
in the Cass law will enable local Of
fic.als to build many more miles of
new roads each year than at present,
and at the same time the work of the
state highway department viii go fol-
ward more rapidly.
"If this Bill is not passed tnous-
ands of Ohioans, will have to con-
tinue to travel through mud and sink
holes longer than they would if the
: measure should become a law, while
hundreds of miles, of constructed ma
cadam roads in need of repairs, will
continue to grow worse"

A COMRADES BIRTHDAY

After three years of war, 48 years
of married peace ana 70 years alto
gether on life's march comrade Isaiah
1acConkey was round alive on picket
auty on FRIDAY May 14th, his seven
tieth birthday. Those who found
him were % of his comrades who
bore arms in the civil war. Two
preachers were taken along to help
Neep peace. and few women to look
after the commissary department.
The place of meeting was his home
on the farm. After reaching it in
autos the boys spent several hours
in the front yard in conversation
and story telling. No record was
sept as to VINO told the biggest, and
no one knows how big they would
have grown had it not been for the
remaining influence of the afore-
said preachers and the call to sup

fuenced the chickens; not one appear
ed upon the lawn during the afternoon
At five o'clock rations were served
All found a place in the house. The
meal was such marked contrast to
the narQ Jack ~ war udyS anu OHS
prison fare of Libby and Anderson
Vile that some came near overriding
1t ended with ice cream and cake
Some ate longer than others prob
ably because they had longer bodies
but as no one was court martialed fol
overeating no names are to be men
toned in public print. The good wife
of the house was assisted by other
women in serving the meal.
Just before supper the Post pre-,
sented Mr.. McConkey with fine golC
watch chain and charm. 1t just
suited him as he said he could veal
it every day and because it was chain
ed to him there would be no danger II
losing it as he was in the habit Of
doing with other things not fastened
Mr.. McConkey made good speech IL
appreciation of the gift. Others
made interesting remarks. Alto

and remembered bv those privileged

DEBATE TEAM
DID NOT GET A
SQUARE DEAL
o the Editor Caldwell Tribune

| To the Editor Caldwell Tribune:
The Caldwell High School has been
in the debate league for the past
four years, and during that time she
has won three state championships
wonderful record? 1t has never
been surpassed by any high school in
the state. Under the supervision of
Principal Hills, the debate team this
year has labored necessarily to pre-
pare for the coming debates OF the
season. Naturally the people of
Caldwell would have strong conf
dence in the team this year. Last
Friday night when the high school
debate team met defeat in both Nam
pa and Caldwell, the question instant
ly arose as to the cause. To any one
who witnessed either debate it was
clear that Caldwell received a dirty
deal While the judges at Caldwell
were from Boise, it seemed that we
would at least get square deal, but
it seems as though the judges were
PreJudiCed for some unknown cause.
For it was very clear to all those who
witnessed the debate that the decis-
ion was wrongly given. Although we
received a raw deal here, it can in
no way compare with the treatment
which the affirmative team received
in Nampa. We have no hard feel
ings toward Nampa high school as a
result of the debate, but we do feel
that we have ample cause to critise
the promoters of the debate there
and also the action of the Judges. The
promoters of this debate not only
procured judges which they knew in
advance would render them a favor
able decision, but they also neglected
to pay the expenses which shows
how really small and grasping these
| promoters of this affair are. The
caldwell people do not believe that
a. -year-old graduate of the Nampa
high school is competent Judge in
a league debate, we further critise the
promoters for procuring a farmer of
Nampa as second Judge, for it could
easily be seen that he was under the
influence of the feminine speakers OF
the Nampa team, and it might also
be interesting to know that his decis-
ION was given before the final rebuff
tai of the Caldwell team. The Cald-
well team would be willing to send
a. typewriter copy of her debate to
Nampa and let them study it for a
week, and then debate them before
competent judges, and even at that |
nave every reason to believe that
caldwell would defeat them unanin-
ously. have just explained this to
give the reason why we were defeat
ca by Nampa and Payette, and here
after all that we ask is square deal

TOBIAS TELLS ABOUT CORN.

Charles c. Tobias addressed the
farmers meeting here says the Kuna
Herald.
He said there are four essential
things in growing corn, they are:
Goodsoil, good seed, proper cultiva-
ton and sufficient irrigation.
" The soil must be rich. and pro
perly prepared, not so the horses feet
sink into it like muck, but just so
they leave nice prints OF their hoofs
The depth to plant is just into the
moisture and not too deep. No mat.
ter how good the soil is, YOU cannot
raise good corn without good seed
proper cultivation and sufficient irri-
CATION What we want is corn that
will mature in this country and pro-
duce the most bushels. The seed
should be aclimated and should be
saved from more than one ear and
mixed together that it will not in
breed
