wOMAN's CLUB FIRST PROGRAM

The first program of the Woman's
Club for the year 1915-16 last Tues
Aay afCernoon was of unusual inter-
est to the Club members because of
the presence of Mr.. and Mrs. C. j.
Biery of Bowling Green and an il
lustrated lecture on Visual
Imagry in Literature" by
Mr.. Biery. The lecture opened
new avenue in the study of litera-
ture for the Club. Mr.. Biery demon
strEsod that a test OF literature thas
endures is the imagery that it con-
tains; the best literature, that which
has endured and will so long as peo-
pie live to read and think, abounds
in visual imagery; this fact Mr.. Biery
very cleverly and artisticaly illustrat-
ed with the crayon and blackboard.
The lecture gave the club members
new inspiration for the years work
in modern literature which has been
outlined by the program committee.
The program as arranged by the
committee is a credit to the club and
shows careful and thorough work on
the part of the committee. The au-
thors whose works are to be studied
bv the club this year are, Marion
Craig Wentworth, Henry Van Dyke,
Zona Gale, Galsworthv. Maeterlinck,
Basil King. O'Henrv, Mrs. Humphrey
Ward. Selma Lagerlof. Kathleen Nor
ris and Kipling. One meeting will
he devoted to Christian Ethics and a
presentation of that gem of Biblical
literature the Book of Job.

compliance with the earnest requests
of these Fulton county friends that
Doctor Wells has given up one of bis

COULDN'T ADVERTISE.

Jud Shaw sold shoes and sealing
wax, and lamps, fishpoles and glue,
tobacco, candles gum and tacks, slick
ers and sardines, too; dry goods and
hams were in his line! he dealt in
peas and beans; he kept the general
store, in fne,-sold cveralls and Jeans;
but Jud, somehow, he wasn't wise
Couldn't afford to advertise"
Not that he harbored any grudge
against his home town sheet; he was,
as anyone might judge, a kindly man
to meet; his customers he treated
fair, and yet he prospered not; his
goods were honest, wasn't wise
Couldn't afford to advertise"
Mail order firms from out of town
much wiser in their day, paid liberal
ly for their renown, and gathered in
the hay; their catalogues went every
where; they advertised for trade;
their name went forth with trumpet
blafe, and, ah! the coin they made;
couldn't afford, they were so w1se
couldn't afford NOT t'advertise.
Now Jud's stuff it was just as good
his prices were the same; the loss was
ours; he simply WOULD not spread
abroad his name; though townsfolks
might have much preferred in theil
home mart to buy, of Jud Shaw they
had never heard-you know the reasor
why, for Jud. somehow, he wasn't
wise-"Couldn't afford to ADVERTISED

PARTISANSHIP.

Partisanship may be legitimate
adhesion to party, or it may simply
be an association for selfish ends.
This latter partisanship may become
the bane of national existence, as it is
organized to prate of principle while
it is grabbing the spoils. AS one
writer puts it, such partisans are
'bound together by the cohesive power
of public plunder." This perverted
partisanship bends its greatest efforts
to the control of political situation
through organizations masking under
the names of social or moral associa-
tions. Under a plea of morality, or
reform, they seek to gain office or
power regardless of the greater good
of the state or the nation. The
methods of such partisans may We
distinguished easily. They are al
ways the same-pledges from candi-
dates, falsehood, either through
threats of defeat or promises Of
favors. Frequently the efforts of
such partisans are inspired by zeal
but zeal in bad cause may be even
a greater evil than that which the
zea1ot would try to remedy. Reform
in itself may be desirable, but if the
consequence of that reform are worse
than the evil reformed, nothing is
gained and progress is hindered. Par
tisanship should he regulated by com.
mon sense and knowledge.

eHorts OF the AsSoc1atlon ana 70
operation OF business men OF the
town a Grain Show has been arrang-
ed to be held in connection with the
Poultry Show; one hundred dollars
IN premiums nave been secured for
this show and as there are no en-
try fees there are likely to be a good
number of entries and a fine exhibit
OF grains may be looked for. At the
first show $4,000 in cash and 5000
worth of merchandise was awarded in
premiums to exhibitors of pure bred
poultry; this year the premiums will
be at least double those of last year.
The Association is busy compiling
the premium lists, which they expect
to issue about October 18th. Mr.. h.
l.. Barrett who has won a reputation
as an expert poultry judge in Ohio,
Indiana and Michigan has been re-
tanned as judge for the show. Presi-
dent E. F. Hanson and Secretary Har-
ry Merrill are keeping things NOV
ing and it will not be many days be-
fore all the plans will be perfected
and every thing ready for a show
that will please everybody. One
problem that the Association has to
solve, is the place for holding the
show; The second story of the Saun-
der's building on Depot street had
been selected but a State building in
spector put the veto on that plan by
refusing to permit any public gather
ing to be held in this room until a
fireproof floor had been placed over
the lower story which is occupied by
Gottschalk's Garage and Auto repair
shop. The Firemen will undoubtedly
come to the rescue by granting per.
mission to Association to hold the
show n their quarters in the City
Hall; this would make a fine place
and has the same advantage as Saun-
der's Hall in being centrally located

HEREE A CHANCE TO HELP.

Surely every citizen of Wauseon
wishes to keep the town clean and
sanitary and no real public spirited
citizen wants to be forced to COM
ply with the rules of the State Board
of Health here in our own home town.
Most everyone have their spells of
forgetfulness and carelessness, citi-
zens of our village are not exempt.
Health Officer Sweeny has found some
of the alleys in the heart of the town
that smell to high heaven, are breed
ing places for flies and disease, be-
cause garbage decaying fruit and etc.
has been dumped in them.
Here's chance to show what kind
of citizen you are! Look over in your
alley and if the description above
applies there, clean up; bury the gar
bage and decaying fruit. Don't wait
to have notice served.

NEED EXTRA CARE THIS
YEAR WITH SEED CORN

Because of the prevailing wet
weather this summer, seed corn pick
ed this fall is likely to contain very
high percentage of moisture. Extra
care should be used and is necessary
in storing the seed corn until plant
ing time. In several states, farmers
have agreed to select and store their
seed corn together. Officers of farm
er's clubs have been instructed to see
that every farmer in the community
has enough seed corn for the coming
season. In one county, Seed Corn
Day has been set aside. On that day
the selecting of the seed corn is fol-
lowed by general picnic.

GOING uPt

The constant increase of court ex-
penditures is inexplicable to the bur-
dened taxpayers who have not gone
to the trouble of seeking a solution
based upon investigation. The trouble
primarily is traceable to the legisla-
tive mill which grinds out an end
ess quantity of useless and often
harmful laws. Such hodgepodge pro-
ducts of the legislative machinery
leads directly to increased court busi-
ness. Another bad practice of legis-
lative bodies is that of paying more
attention to party politics and the
spoils incident thereto than to the
real business that should have con-
sideration. There certainly should be
some plan adopted whereby legisla-
ures will attend to making laws and
not to seeking spoils.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 21.-The
Pittsburgh share market was active
yesterday morning and operations
were on an increased scale. There
vas q fair demand for some members
Of the list while considerable urgency
was noticeable on the selling side in
the case Of two issues. Both advances
and declines were made up 10 midday,
and the gains were in larger number
than the declines. After midday trad.
ing was on q reduced scale as com.
pared with that Of the morning ana
some irregularity prevailed.
Good buying characterized early
o~perations on the New York exchange.
N some instances initial transactions
were above final prices Saturday and
further advances were made early in
the session. A reaction followed the
early bulge, but the declines for the
most part were small and the second
hour most OF the losses had been re-
covered and some stocks moved up
into higher ground.
