Each night found the same company
to listen to the news to be repeated
after returning home. He was in
terested in politics and in advance

was ever open to the poor and less
fortunate, no one leaving the door
hungry. AS a pioneer he was in
terested in the development of his
town and county and contributed
literally of labor to secure good
roads. He was first in the town
ship, perhaps in the county to make
what was then called blind bitches,
that were made with poles and slabs
of wood to fit the ditch. Later came
the well known tile and I am safe
in saying he has made miles of tile

of county commissioner; during his
administration our county Jail was

nature and learned something from

DA|RYMEN' PICNIC
H0lstein Breeders and Their Friends
Enjoy Picnic at Burr Brothers Farm
In Spite of Rainy Weather-One
Hundred Present Address on
Farm Efficiency" by Hon. d. d.
Aitken of Flint, Michigan.

Last Saturday was not an ideal
day Ior picnic. In fact the hard
ram the night before and the almost
continuous down pour during the
day made an out-ot-door picnic din
ner an impossibility. Nevertheless
the Fulton County Holstein-F -Friesian
assoclaJlon held its meeting at the
Burr farm, and nearly one hundred
members and their friends brought
their dinners and spent the day in
the barn.
The forenoon was spent in look
ing at the members of the Wausecna
Herd of Holsteins and in conversa-
ton with breeders and dairymen pres
ent. The Wauseona Herd now num-
bers ninety-eight head all pure breu..
There are thirty-two of milking age,
and with one exception each has an
official milk and butter record. This
record of production, printed on a
card, is placed above the stanchion
of each animal.
| At the dinner hour, the barn floor
and straw barn was temporarily
transformed into dining hall. Bard's
orchestra, with the aid of victrola
furnished the music.
| After dinner had been served, L. E.
Connell of Fayette, President of the
organization called the meeting to
order and in few well chosen
remarks welcomed the guests and
introduced the speaker of the day
Hon. D. D. Aitken of Flint, Michigan
President of the Holstein-F n-Friesian
Association of America.
Mr.. Aitken's remarks were along
the line of efficiency on the farm
He stated that the average farmer
and dairyman lack efficiency both in
the manner of doing their work and
also in the marketing of their pro.
ducts. The dairyman's greatest milk
problem is to create market fol
his milk products and to do ahis

dairymen could well afford to taz
themselves 10 or 25 cents per COW
to carry on a publicity campaign or
this matter of food values.

National Prohibition Rally in Wau-
seon Last Sunday Addresses
That Went to The Core of A
Great Question By Captain Hob
son and Rev. Madison Swadener,
ID. ID.

Wauseon was favored laAt Sun
day afternoon with two of the best
addresses on the great question of
the prohibition of the liquor traffic
that have ever been given any
where in this country. That the
people of Wauseon and vicinity ap-
preciated the opportunity to hear
was attested by the fact that the
two largest churches in town were
both filled to their capacity. Stimuli
taneous meetings were held in the
Christian and the Methodist church.
es. Doctor Swadener speaking first
at the Christian church while Cap
tain Hobson spoke at the Methodist
church and the speakers changing
Immediately their addresses were
finished. We feel justified in say
ing that the two addresses were the
best arguments for the prohibition
of the liquor traffic that have ever
been presented in Wauseon. Doctor
Swadener is an eloquent and force
full speaker, he spoke from the
standpoint of an expert inveskiga-
tor of social and industrial condi-
tions and his conclusions were based
on the facts which he had ascertain.
ed for himself in this field and
which may be verified by any unpre.
JUDGED investigator. Doctor Swa-
dener spoke of the liquor traffic as
an institution that is a menace to
the very life of the nation ano
whose continued existence can only
be detrimental to society. His ar.
raignment of the traffic and his plea
for cooperation in bringing about
it's banishment from this natior
were masterful and convincing.
Captain Hobson's address ap
preached the question from the
scientists point of view; in a quiet
but clear and forcible manner ht
presented the facts concerning the
chemical composition and nature Of
alcohol, it's action upon the human
system and the absolute certainty o.
the results which follow it's use a!

himself as favoring the idea, for, he
argues, there is many man who ~
