Sweet be the rest dear father,
After the tolls of life,
Naught can disturb thy slumbers
No pain, no care, nor strife,
So many years have passed |
Since first the light of day
Dawned bright upon thine infancy
And cheered thee all the way
No more cans't thou be with US,
But we will love thee still,
And bow in meek submission
To our kind fathers will.

Civic Improvement Committee of the
Civic Club Make Report of Seasons
Work - Much Accomplished in
Identification of Village.

At meeting of the Civic Club held
last Monday evening the work of the
Civic Improvement Committee for
the season was presented and the
showing made is certainly reason for
congratulations to the members of
this committee and to the Civic Club.
The committee have placed a bed of
geraniums in front of the library,
planted masses of permanent shrubs
at the four corners of South Park,
placed six iron lawn seats in the parks
and conducted very successful i'm
provement contest which has result
ed in the Identification of residence
properties in all parts of the town
and, by means of the premiums
awarded will go far toward adding
to the permanent attractive appear
ance of the lawns about town. The
premiums given were shrubs and
bulbs which planted and cared for by
the recipients will of course improve
the appearance of the lawns where
they are placed each season.
These premiums which have now
all been distributed to the winners
consist of 400 tulips, 100 crocus, 8
dozen daffodils, dozen narcisus, 3
spireas, 6 peonies, 6 hydrangas and
Fl hardy lilies.
A donation of tulip bulbs to be plac-
ed in front of the library has been
made by friends in this work.
Not only the winners in this sea-
sons contest, but many others, some
who did not enter the contest at all
are to be commended for the earnest
effort and hard work expended in do
ing their share toward making Wau-
seon the cleanest, neatest and most
beautiful town of it's size in Northwes-
tern Ohio.
The committee expended in the sea-
sons work the sum of $51.75; of this
amount all but S1525 was raised by
the committee themselves with the
cooperation of Mr.. Walter Caddell,
manager of the Princess Theatre.
Two first class picture shows with
special numbers by local talent were
given and the committee had the CO.
operation in giving in these entertain
ments of the talent referred to the
Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts in
selling tickets and distributing adver-
tising matter, and the citizens of
the town generally in patronizing the
entertainments; the committee of judg-
es headed by Mr.. H. H. Williams Jr.,
are not forgotten as giving important
service. In fact it has been a CO.
operative affair in which all might
participate, under the guidance of the
Civic Improvement Committee who de-
serve highest concentrations for
their splendid work.
The $15.25 referred to in the fore
going was contributed to the work by

menting that we must cease to relieve
the table Of it's load. For unavoid-
able reasons the surprise was post
poned which made the occasion all
the more enjoyable.

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY
A CLAW THAT RENDS"
Rev. 1. Chantry Hoffman De-
plores Conditions That
Lead to Divorce

Marriage for money manifests a ma.
terialism which murders marital happi-
ness"
This declaration was made today by
the Rev. l. Chantry Hoffman in the course
Of a sermon on "The Christian Family"
at St Johns Church, Race street
below 9Th.
He deplored the lack of love in many
homes and pointed out that where love
is left out of the married state there is
he'll After dwelling at length on the
Christian limitations of divorce, the
speaker said the golden claw does not
bind but rends. God is a wooer that wins
when other charms fail"
Mansions without love and with riches
are prisons Cottages without wealth and
having love are palaces Love Is the
guard which keeps the oIscer of the
divorce court away.
what does 1t profit the welded to
gain opulence and lose the joy of the
married state? Does It pay to barter nup.
tial bliss for the sumptuous fare and the
select company and the gorgeous apparel?
The time for frank speaking has come.
The Reno and Cheyenne divorce colonies
tell story Of sadness unspeatable.
Legislation shows itself almost with
out influence in staying the swelling tide
of divorces in all States except in South
Carolina where a divorce has never been
granted. Jurists and moralists and lovers
Of the home agree that the Church of
Christ is right in the position II takes that
when a man and woman consent to-
gether in holy wedlcck the obligation is

In conclusion the speaker urged that all
strive to avoid the beginnings that sepa-
rate.

option" vote against n proposed saloon at
SID and Ranstead streets was announced
by Judge Stake as mot binding in the
decision he made.
PUT IN WASTE BASKET.
An attitude unfavorable to the Ger
mantown remonstrants made itself felt
almost as soon as the court opened. Fifty
OF the rcmonstrants were in court 9TH
ers expected to he there later, but the
session was over before they arrived.
When the decision against hearing the
remonstrances were announced. court
clerks gathered up the great heap of
remonstrances, on which 3405 names
appeared many Of them duplicates and
dropped them into waste basket which
was returned to the Germantown delega-
tion.
Judge Barratt summed up the attitude
of the court toward the Germantown pro-
tests. what authority has the court"
he asked "to dlvest the licensee, who may
have large sums invested in his business,
OF his license unless specific violation
Of the law is charged against him?"
Both devoted considerable time to dis
cussing the question from all its angles
and defining their position. Mr. Sheppard
came in for criticism as to the purpose OF
the remonstrants and their right to pro-
test against regrantng licenses unless
they accused the saloOnkeepers of break
ing the law.
This is Il question of absolute prohibi-
tion, isn't it?" Judge Barratt asked 1T
is not a question Of regulation. You want
us to say to these licensees: We're going
to put you all out of business" /" Isn't that
what you want US to do?"
SENTIMENT HAS CHANGED.
Sheppard replied that, on the surface,
that appeared to be the purpose but de-
clared the number OF remonstrances to be
so Overwhelming as to show a change of
sentiment regarding saloons in the neigh
borhood
1T isn't a physical change in the neigh
borhood that we will attempt to show"
he said but a change in the attitude of
the neighborhood toward saloons. At the
last session OF the court one of the Ger
mantOwn saloons moved to West Phila-
delphia. That showed there was no neces-
sity for one that had been there before.
We want to bring out that there may be
others which are not necessary.
ID. Clarence Gibboney, of the Law and
Order Society, said his opposition to the
principle the Germantown remonstrants
purposed to work under in appealing to
the court, was based on the fact that the |
State, which was virtually in partnership
with the saloon, because of the taxes, had
no power to abolish saloons and the capi-
tai invested in them.
There isn't drink sold over a bar
that doesn't pay its share to the State
and to the United States Government" |
