season is conducive. 1t is the season
in which Washington and Lincoln were
born-the father and the savior of the
country. While these two men are
widely different in character, yet there
are several points in which they were
very much alike. In patient fortitude
they were grand. Their endurance was
magnificent, bordering on being mar
velous. Washington at Valley Forge
will never be forgotten. 1t is not
only touching, but it is also command
ing. Everything seemed to be against
him save his own power to bear. Lin

and cool, confronting the vast and
terrible dangers without a murmur.

DAIRYING.

Dairy farming will be featured at
the Agricultural Extension School
that will be held at Swanton during
the week beginning March 8-12. This
is the subject in which the people of
this community expressed a special
interest and for this reason the Col
lege Of Agriculture will give preticu-
lar attention to this subject at the
Extension School. Dairy farming is
not the only type of farming in this
community, but it is one type that
will paE desirable returns If carried
on as & should be. A week spent at
the Extension School will give each
farmer an opportunity to learn the
requirements and possibilities of
dairy farming.
In addition to the dairy farming DEM
onstration' and lectures, lectures will
be given on. soil fertility, farm crops,
poultry raising, and home economics.
It will be the aim of the instructors
at the Extension School to give the
farmers and their families such in
structions as will assist them, in ap-
plying the most economical practices
on their farms and in their homes.
Dairy farming is becoming of
greater Importance in Ohio each year
and Mr.. L. P. Bailey one of the most
practical, successful, and energetic,
and enthusiastic dairymen in the
state will be the instructor in this
subject. Do not forget the date of
the school. Talk it over with your
neighbors and come prepared to ask
questions if need be to obtain the in
formation you most desire.

GIVE THE NEWCOMERS
THE GLAD HAND.

A great many new people are COM
ing into this county this winter. Don't
forget to give them your welcome. Go
up the first time you meet them, in
troduce yourself, tell them who you
are and tell them how glad you are
to see them and how anxious you are
to make them fell right at home. Let
them know right away before they
have time to find it out for themselves
that our people are the most hospit-
able and sociable of any people in
the world and that they can count
themselves the most fortunate peo-
pie in the world in having their lot
thrown among US.
Tell them all the good things you
left their own surroundings and come
among new conditions. They are ma
turally easily frightened with some
thing they do not fully understand.
Did you ever get into town a
stranger and find that you continued
to be regarded as a stranger by the
citizens of that town? It was as
sumed that you were not fit sub
ject to associate with until you had
by a long residence demonstrated that
you were not thief or wifebeater.
This is the social atmosphere that
surrounds stranger in many old
communities, but we are glad to say
that with US every stranger is assum-
ed to be a gentleman until he proves
the contrary. We welcome strangers
and we tell them so. We want peo-
pie to come and live among us and we
will make them feel our welcome when
they come.

THE NEW FORD.

The New Ford has finally arrived
and no man can say, as they have in
the past, that "I know that the Ford
surely stands up and does the busi-
ness,. but I do not like the looks of
it, for now its looks and equipment
admit it to the best society. 1t now
comes fully equipped including speed
ometor and electric lights. All for
S498 f. o. b. Wauseon, with a profit
sharing rebate at the end of the
year that will cut the actual cost
down to around $450.00. This re-
markable low price is made possible
by their stupendious production and
marvellous demand. This great de-
mand makes the selling expense prac-
trically nothing. Ford ads and sales
men are seldom seen, they have not
even issued catalogue for over two
years. Every car is a salesman. The
fact that the company has already de-
livered over 100000 cars this sea-
son, which is more than all the rest
of the factories in Ohio and Michigan,
have done, is pretty good evidence that
they are the greatest automobile,
value in the world.
Better see this new car and get
your name on the want page, for you
surely will want one soon and they
are hard to get. We have a large
number sold for spring delivery. First
come first served.

WINDERMERE.

Some time ago the Tribune office
received a marked copy of "The
Florida Grower" published at Tampa
Florida, issue of January 10Th; the
marked" portion we discovered to be
an article describing Windermere, a
place in which a good many Wauseon
people are interested, some favored
ones are enjoying and more of us
would like to enjoy.
The article which is illustrated with
several very fine Photographic views
of the place speaks very highly of
on the location. Of course Gus folks"
who have to stay at home and keep
the old town from going to. sleep and
freezing to death, like to know how
"our folks" impress other people and
how they act when they are away
from home. The writer of the article
gives credit of the rediscovery Of
the beauties and attractions Of Win
dermere to "two Ohio men" and this
takes the minds of Wauseon people
to Cal. Palmer and Doc. Johnson who
some four years ago went prospecting
and came back enthusiastic in re-
gard to the spot in Florida now known
as Windermere. Messrs. Johnson
and Palmer deserve the credit for
the development of Windermere for
they have given to it time, labor and
capital. Wauseon deserves a little
share of the credit, when it is re-
membered that Windermere has cost
this village two of our "live wire"
citizens. In regard to the colony at
Windermere the article above men,
toned. says that the homes they have
built for themselves would do credit
to any Cleveland suburb and that it
would be hard to find twenty-five
families gathered together anywhere
in this country that are more pro
gressive or who pull together with
the harmony that these good folks
from Ohio do.

WHAT RAILROADS ARE FACING.

The two-cent law passed by the
State Legislature in 1906 reduced the
maximum passenger rate in Ohio 33
1-3 per cent. and to that extent re-
duced the income of the railroads
from passenger traffic. For the past
two or three weeks the railroads have
been giving out figures to show that
the loss in earnings has been so great
that it is a wonder that all of them
are not in the hands of receivers.
AS it is, nearly 100 of them are
bankrupt, and of the total 85 per cent.
are in what is known as 2-cent fare
states.
The figures show that seventeen of
the principal railroads in Ohio in the
past seven years-since the 2 cent
law went into effect-have suffered
loss of more than twenty millions
of dollars. Of this amount $12,227,-
369 was lost during the past fiscal
year.
Upon the suggestion of the Inter
state Commerce Commission the Ohio
railroads are now asking the people
of the State to urge upon the legls-
lature small measure of relief, viz:
An advance of one-half cent per mile
If man in business is manufactlr-
ing an article of commerce and he
finds it is improbable owing to a
raise in wages, materials, or anything
else, he raises the price, lowers the
grade of the article or stops making
| it. This the railroads cannot do.
They must go to the legislature for
relief They can neither cheaper the
service, increase the price nor go out
of business either temporarily or
permanently without disastrous re-
suits that cannot be thought Of. Us
ually the people are fair, and it is
believed they will be in this matter.
If they want the railroads to prosper
they will indicate their desire to the
legislature; and thousands have al
ready done so by resolutions passed
in nearly 100 public meetings.
