Under the circumstances, do not

This covers the ground, because conf

we are better than others. Confidence
in others is shown by the noble and
not by the base"
Failing to appreciate this point has
made many a person miserable as well
as useless. He has closed every door

him insignificant. He is not a part of
them because he only sees their weak
points. He sees nothing else, and, in
fact. the world is going on without
him. A more deplorable condition no
person can imacine.
But taking for granted that we have
seen the moral worth of making the
best of people, we will proceed, for
our gain is immense, justifying our
most strenuous efforts. No sacrifice
is too large and severe for such a
prize, for it is the prize of the high
calling. Nothing grander is possible.
In this we are upheld by the purpose
of the ages. A channel has been open
ed to us in which the mind of God is
expressed and the glory of life is seen
and realized. We feel in our souls
that we are in harmony with the

in mind that "far-off divine event, to

are able to do so, would follow the ex-
ample of Mr.. and Mrs. Shade it
would not be long before the Associa-
tion could proceed with the erection
of the monument. One interesting
detail in connection with the contribu-
ton of $500 from Delta W. R. G. and
others is that the council of Delta
donated the use of the City Hall in
which to hold the entertainment by
which the money was raised, in so do
ing they departed from their usual
custom which is to- make a uniform
charge of $500 for the use of the
hall, the council are to be commend
ed for their generosity. The follow
ing is the text of the bill which was
introduced by Mr.. Reighard in the
House and has passed that body. Mr.
Reighard prepared and presented this
bill at the urgent solicitation of men,
bers of the Monumental Association
and as it passed the House without
a dissenting vote there was no ques-
tion as to it's passage by the Senate.
Wednesday morning Mr.. John C.
Rorick received a teiegram from Sena-
tor Cass informing him that the bill
passed the Senate on Tuesday.
Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly, of the State of Ohio:
Section 1. That Section 14848 of
the General Code relative to the erec-
ton OF soldiers monuments or mem
orlals by county commissioners be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 14848. The commissioners of
any county in this state be and they
are hereby authorized to submit to a
vote of the people of said county. at
any general election for state and
county officers, the question whether
Or not tax of not mo~e than one
half mill upon each dollar shall be
levied upon all property upon the tax
duplicate of said county to raise a
fund wherewith to erect monument
or other suitable memorial structure
to perpetuate the memory of soldiers
from said county who served in the
union army during the late rebellion.
providing, however, that in order to
improve or maintain county property
the commissioners of any county NAV
appropriate from the general fund of
the county, and without submitting
the same to vote of the people, any
amount, not to exceed fifteen hundred
($15O0.00) dollars, for the purpose of
erecting or assisting in the erection
upon county property of such memori-
al for the soldiers and sailors or of
repairing any such memorial already
erected.
Section 2. That said original Sec
ton 14848 of the General Code be, and
the same is hereby repealed.

CONNIE MIGRATION
Fiftieth Anniversary of Lees Sur
render at AppOmatOx Court House
Commemorate By Losure Post G..
A. R.-Progress of Monument
Fund to Commemorate Soldiers of
Fulton County. Bill Which EmpOw-
ers County Commissioners to Help.

Wherever an active Grand Army
post was in existence the 50th ami
versary of General R. E. Lee to Gen
eral U. S. Grant at Appomatox Court
House. Virginia on April 9th, 1865,
was commemorated in some appropri-
ate way. 1t was an event worthy of
commemoration for it marked the
end of four years hard campaign
much of suffering, the ravaging and
laying waste of large areas of coun-
try and great loss of human life for
both the armies of the North and of
the South. 1t also marked the end
of slavery on American soil and of
secession.
A number of the members of Lo-
sure Post G. A. R. had the honor to
be present at AppomatoX Court House
on that memorable occasion and a
number of them were in Toledo dur
ing the day last Friday to attend re-
unions of those who were present at
the surrender of Lee, but they were
back in Wauseon and in their own
Post room to celebrate the occasion on
Friday night.
The program in charge of Comman-
der Allen Shade consisted of some
very appropriate vocal selections
beautifully rendered by Mrs. Warren
Curry Of Delta and Professor and
Mrs. Carol of Wauseon; interpersed
with the music were appropriate reci-
tations and stirring addresses from
Rev. w. T. Williams, Davis johnson
and Frank E. Kenyon. These address
ses were followed by very short talks
from Simeon Boyers, Levi and Isaiah
McConkey who were at Appomatox on
the memorable April 9th and by John
C. Rorick who relieved the stress of
the occasion by reciting humurous
poem.
The pleasure which the "Boys in
Blue" seemed to derive from the cele-
bration reminds US that the compile
ton of the monument which is tc
commemorate the brave and faithful
services of these same "Boys in Blue
will bring not only to them but to the
entire citizenship of this county real
and lasting pleasure. Slowly but

CROP CONDITIONS
Official Report, Ohio Agricultural
Commission, Division, of Agricul-
ture-Conditions of Wheat April
1st, 1915-Barley Prospects Good
Old Corn in Good Condition-Fruit
Outlook Promising.

The following report is compiled
from returns received from official
correspondents of the Department:
WHEAT
Condition compared with average SO
per cent; Crop of 1914 still in pro-
ducers' hands IL per cent; Weeks of
snow protection 6.
WINTER BARLEY
Condition compared with average
SO per cent.
RYE
Condition compared with average
81 per cent.
CORN
Condition in crib, compared with
average 96 per cent; Remaining un-
husked in field per cent; Damage to
unhusked in field II per cent; Dam
age to fodder during winter 21 per
cent.
FRUIT
Prospects compared with normal
yield 88 per cent; Buds winter killed
Z per cent.
The opening of Spring shows Ohio
wheat in rather poor growing condi-
ton. The estimate is 88 per cent.
compared with an average. The
amount of the crop of 1914 still in
producers hands is estimated at IL
per cent. On the corresponding date
one year ago the condition of wheat
was estimated at 95 per cent. IA per
cent. of the crop of the preceding year
was then in producers hands.
The poor condition of wheat is gen.
orally attributed to damage by al
ternate thawing and freezing. Es-
pecially was the month of March Sc
we're on the plant. There is also some
complaint of damage by Hessian fly.
This, however, is not very general
over the state. The present acreage
seeded is estimated at 1,828,267 acres.
The harvest should produce approx
mately the same number of bushels as
in 1914. Under normal conditions of
growth Ohio will show no material
advance in wheat production until a
largely increased area is sown. The
present market value of wheat is re-
ported at SLAP per bushel.
The condition of winter barley is
estimated at SO per cent, while rye
condition is reported at 81 per cent.
Corn in crib is in excellent condi-
ton. Little or no complaint of mould
or rot. The damage to the unhusked
crop is estimated at IL per cent.
Spring plowing is well advanced, and
many correspondents note that an un-
usually large corn area will be pre-
pared. The present market price of
corn is reported at rs cents per BUSH
ell.
Compared with normal yield, fruit
prospect is estimated at SO per cent.
Fruit buds are backward owing to cool
weather. The number reported winter
killed is but per cent. as against 26
per cent reported on the correspond
ing date in 1914. The. general fruit
outlook is most promising.

WAUsEON DEBATORS
They Win at Home Lose at Tiffin
and FOstOria-But Compel the
Admiration of Critics Away From
Home. Wauseon to Be Represented
in The N. w. o. Oratorical Contest.

Resolved, that the plan of nomi-
mating candidates at the primary is
the best was the question which the
two first teams of Wauseon High
School debators championed and op-
posed; only the opposition came first
when the first negative team of Wau-
seon met the affirmative team from
Bowling Green and won a unanimous
decision from the judges on the mega
tive side of the question. The first
affirmative team of Wauseon were
not so successful at Tiffin on Monday
evening April 5th for they failed to
convince the judges at that place that
the affirmative side of this same
question should claim their decision.
But the Wauseon team won laurels for
themselves nevertheless, as is shown
by the following extracts from the
Daily Advertiser of Tiffin, issue of
Tuesday April 9Th, in an article con-
cerning the contest:
"That the young people from Wau-
seon fully expected to win was evi-
dent and that they surpassed our boys
in eloquence and delivery is also an
other fact. Many in the audience were
in favor of Wauseon victory because
of this eloquence. But as the win
ming Of debate is based on argument
rather than on elocution, the visitors
excellent delivery counted them
naught."
zone of the visitors in the audi
ence was so sure that the Wauseon
team had won that when the mediator
read the decision of the judges he
rushed up on the platform with very
loud 'whoop.' His chagrin when he
realized the truth aroused sympathy
rather than nirth."
"Those from Wauseon who took part
in the contest were: Carl Orndorff,
Bruce Williams and Miss Mary Nc
Clalren. And let it here be said that
the young lady of the party was the
proved that woman is capable of alb
sorbing the practical points of politics.
Another young lady, Fern Disbrow
acted as alternate for the visitors"
Last Friday night the two second
teams were in action and history SEEM
ed to repeat itself; the affirmative
team met the negative team from Bel
lefontaine at Wauseon and scored a
victory over their visitors while down
in Fostoria the .Wauseon team were
defeated by the High School team
from that city. For the first time in
a number of years Wauseon High
School will be represented in the con
test of the Northwestern Ohio Oratori
cal Association: Bryan Heise ha;
been elected by the Senior class tt
that position and those who know Bry
an feel sure that he will maintain tn,

TO FILE MORE BRIDGE SUITS
New York Company Will Try to Make
Kansas Counties Pay for Alleged
lnfringements.

S. N. Hawkes., assistant attorney
general, was notified recently that
another lot of lawsuits over alleged
infringements of bridge patents will
be brought in Kansas shortly. E. NJ
Drury of Chicago, representing an en-
cheering concern of New York, is
drawing the papers for the suits. The
suits will be brought against several
counties and cities for alleged in
fringements of so-called Thatcher pat
ents and to collect royalties.
The state already has a big suit
over the Luten patents, which are
quite similar to the Thatcher patents
and all are for reinforced concrete
bridges. There is some variation in
the plans of the two men for building
bridges, but the principles involved
are practically the same and the state
insists that the principles were in
use hundreds of years before Luten or
Thatcher was born.
Most of the bridge companies have
obtained the right to use the patents
and pay the regular royalties. But
many of the counties have been hit so
hard by the bridge companies that
they are building the bridges them
selves. This really has been the
cause of the lawsuits, as the bridge
companies want to back fire" on the
counties.

Average for State is Rapidly
Growing Smaller, Says a
State Report.
MORE CHILDREN IN THE CITIES
Figures Indicate Country Family is
Smaller Than That of Town
Two Counties Without Negroes.

The average Kansas family is rap
idly growing smaller, according to re-
ports received in the compilation of
the decennial census under the super
vision of the state board of agricul-
ture. 1t is also indicated in the re-
ports that a larger number of per-
sons than ever before are collected
in the cities of the state. These con-
ditions, 1t is believed, are correlative,
it being indicated also that the aver
age city family is larger than the
average rural family.
The census reports of ten years ago
gave the average Kansas, family AIT
members, while five years ago there
were 4.32 persons to the family. j.
G. Mohler, secretary of the board of
agriculture, asserts that this years
census will show that the average
family has in it about 4.25 persons.
The census reports, which will be
made public in about sixty days, indi-
cate also that there are only two Kan
sas counties in which there are no ne
gro citizens. These are Rawlins and
Kearney. In Comanche county, how
ever, of population of 4,60S persons,
there is only one negro resident. In
making their rounds the assessors
found twenty-six pairs of twins under
the age of 8 years, and two pairs of
triplets.
