THE DRAGONS BIRTHDAY

DGdCOu JlIQ NlCCulI0, WllO uSLd was one of the most famous catchers in the backstopping business, was born fifty-three years ago today. The Deacon spent thirty-two years in baseball captivity. He was scout for the Detroit Tigers for several years until he threw up the ivory hunting job last February to go into business. Mcclure joined the Cleve- land Nationals in '83, but was re1eas- ed to Toledo in the Northwestern League. Tn Toledo the Deacon caught the delivery of no less a parsonage than the Hon. Hank O'Day. Mcclure alternated behind the bat with Moses Walker, the only negro who ever play ed ball in a big league. Toledo was admitted to the American Association, a major circuit, in '84, and the colored brother was kept on the payroll for a time. After leaving Toledo Mcclure played with Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Rochester and Boston. For six years in the big show he batted over 300. When his play ing days were over he managed the Boston ,and Cleveland clubs and was coach and scout for the Detroit Tg- CTS, In his early days in baseball, the Deacon wore a finger1ess glove with beefsteak in the palm for padding, and that poor imitation of a mitt, and piece of rubber clenched between, his teeth as protection for his molars, constituted his armor. McGuire's hands became knotted and gnarled as the result of, the numerous injuries. and an .X-ray! examination few years ago showed that he had suffered near ly half a hundred fractures and dis locations.

.TED. MEREDITH 24 TO-DAY

e = AAA> AAAAAAs~A AA A1 AOA>1AA
 ' sTed'' Meredith's failure to uphold the athletic glory of the Stars and Stripes in Stockholm may be due to the melancholy fact that he is getting old, for he attains the venerable age of twenty-four today. Tn spite of oc- casional defeats, Meredith's monaker will go clattering down the corridors of time as one of the greatest all- around running performers in athletic history. Old timers say that Ted was outclassed by Steve Farrell, since noted as Michigan's trainer, but the present crop of athletic fans find it difficult of belief. When he closed his University of Pennsylvania career last Spring it was in a blaze of glory such as few athletic stars have ever known. James-to give him his real name-was afflicted with a crop of boils and was far from being at his best when he sailed for Sweden, and the long ocean trip was a poor sort of preparation for meeting the Scan dinavian flfers. When Ted is right a Kansas cyclone has nothing on him for impetuosity and velocity, and he
 could give jackrabbit a hot race.

Expenses of all minor league play CTS from their homes to the spring training camps must be paid by their employers is one of the demands pulled by the Players Fraternity on the magnates today. If such a rule
 should become effective, a lot of the underbrush clubs will hereafter em- p1oy only home talent, and will pitch their training camps within the five cent carfare zone.

At CAMP WILLIS
Fulton County Boys In The Ohio State
Mobilization Camp Near Columbus
Glad To Hear From HOme-Tired
of Doing Nothing, But Well and
Happy.

Letters from Sergeant Walter Figy
of The First Ambulance Company to
Reas Campbell and to the Tribune
bring the news that our Fulton County
Boys, members of the First Ambulance
are well and happy, with certain quail
fications. Members of the Wauseon
Lodge Knights of Pythias had club
bed together and sent the boys box
of candy which was gratefully re-
ceived and proved a delightful sur
prise to the boys who were, by this
gift assured that they were not for
gotten by their friends 'back home.
Another gift that brought forth the
sincere thanks was the "Good Old Full
ton County Tribune" as Sergeant Figy
statedit. The boys speak in terms
of highest praise in regard to the
Army Y. M. C. A. at Camp Willis.
Sergeant Figy writes, "The Y. M. CT
A. is certainly doing a fine work here;
some folks say that it is fake, but l
know better. The government
wouldn't even furnish them their
light, they furnish their own power
and light for their picture show"
Lying around doing nothing" does
not suit our boys they are anxious to
be up and doing"
Since Col. Howard and one of his
ieutenants were turned down" by the
physical examination last Wednesday
the boys have been somewhat wor-
ried over the result of their own ex-
aminations.
One misconception in regard to the
First Ambulance Company which the
boys would like to have corrected is
that this company is attached to the
Sixth Regiment: the fact is, that the
First Ambulance Company is unat-
tached and is in no way connected with
the Sixth Regiment.
Following is the list of Fulton
County boys who are members of The
First Ambulance Co.: Captain L. C.
CosGrove; First Segreant, Fred Dimke
Sergeant Walter C. Figy; Sergeant G.
H. Somers; Privates, 1st Glass, Glen

midst of world at war we cannot tell
what dangers may threaten US. We
do know that an army and navy of
reasonable strength are essential to
the continued peace of this great, rich
country.
Our situation calls for more than a
mere strengthening of army and navy.
1t demands a greater devotion to the
duties of citizenship and a new stand
ard of unselfsh patriotism. A duty
owed to the nation in return for the
benefits which the nation confers upon
its citidens must ever be the guiding
principles in a democracy. We have
neglected to teach that lesson. We
have tended to look on government as
thing remote and apart from our in
dividual lives. 1t should be the duty
of every public school to impart the
lesson of national service and put a
new emphasis on the duties of citizen
ship.
The world is at an era of change
and readjustment. Nations and men
have been shaken out of their accus-
toned grooves. Let US see to it that
when society returns to sanity we shall
have made an advance; that we shall
not have failed in bearing forward the
light of civilization which Europe has
for the time laid down.

NOVEL, CAMPAICNINc

Stephen A. Stilwell of Warren coun-
ty, who is a candidate for the Repub-
hcan nomination as Auditor of State
has adopted novel way of bringing
his appeal directly to the voters of
the State:
He has little Ford with a top \on
which is lettered the announcement
of his candidacy and on the, inside a
"Chimeafon", a musical instrument
said to be equal to 20 piece band
which attracts attention to the equip
page. Mr.. Stilwell struck Wauseon
just before noon on Tuesday of this
week. He has covered half of the
State and expects to cover the last
half during the next three weeks.
Mr.. Stilwell is speaking to groups of
people on the streets of the cities and
villages through which he passes in
the interests of his candidacy. ,.,.4-

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE.

Last Saturday the resignation of
Levi Hoy as U. S. Mail Carrier on
Rural Route No. Wauseon, Ohio,
took effect and the long term of SER
vice in this capacity of the oldest
Rural Carrier in points of age and con-
tinuous service in the State of Ohio
and possibly the oldest in the United
States, same to an end. Mr.. Hoy was
one of the three first rural carriers
in Ohio the other two resigned some
time ago leaving Mr.. Hoy the oldest
carrier in point of continuous service,
in the State. Mr.. Hoy would have
completed twenty years of continuous
service had he remained in the gov
ernment employ until next October.
People who know what conditions of
roads and weather have been here in
Fulton county during the past twenty
years and those who. are acquainted
with the daily duties, hindrances and
perplexities of the rural mail carrier
will agree that Mr.. Hoy in the faith
full performance of these duties
through all the years has rendered to
his county and to his fellow citidens
distinguished service" and is en-
titled to the honor and appreciation
accorded to those who render such
service. Mr.. Hoy viii be 81 years Of
age at his next birthday and his long
service in the Post Office Department
is the more remarkable on account of
his advanced years.
He has also a record of four years
of service under arms in the Union
Army during the Civil War and yet in
spite of his years and the toll and
hard service he has seen, he seems
hale and hearty and good for ten or
fifteen years more. Long may he
live to enjoy in peace the fruits of his
labors and the pleasant associations
of family friendssand comrades. Mr..
John King will take the place made
vacant by Mr.. Hoys resignation.

ing that old processes of manufacture
would not meet the demands of this
war, had inaugurated new policy for
the increase of production, which he
designated the "dilution process" The
secret of this system is that where
nine or ten skilled workmen had been
employed before they now use one
skilled workman, assisted perhaps by
one or two partially trained men and
by nine or ten women. This system
for getting the utmost service out of
the workers at home had been arrang
ed between the government, the manu-
facturers and the workmen's organiza-
tions. AS a result of its increased eff
ficiency, a piece of work which had
before required an hour and twenty
minutes was now being done in six
minutes, and machines that had taken
two years to build were being turned
out in month. On place where 900
women had been employed now had
5000.
Both in foreign and domestic affairs
we are at a supreme moment in our
history. As the one great nation un-
touched by the destructive war in Eu-
rope we are in a position to play
great part in the reconstruction of
civilization. But it seems to me as
to many that the administration has
failed to understand or express the
will of America in this crisis. In its
obvious anxiety to adhere strictly to
the letter Of international law it has
utterly failed to catch the spirit of
our obligation to suffering humanity in
Europe, to whom the law of nations
permitted us to minister as the law of
humanity required us to do.
Where shall we turn for firm and
intelligent leadership if not to the
Republican party whose leaders have
guided the policies of the United
States almost continuously for two
generations In all that time it has
produced a succession Of able states
men for America; it is still producing
the men of vision, of capacity, of
training, to guide the nation in these
days. of perplexity and doubt.
In the Chicago convention was evi-
denced the new spirit Of the Ameri-
can people, and the politicians sinking
their differences and uniting their eff
forts accepted man whom the peo-
pie demanded and whom the politi-
clans did not want. The Republican
party, chastened and with a new in
spiration to unselfish service, will
come from its retirement in Novem-
ber with the election of Charles E..
Hughes as president. That change
will restore confidence in the Ameri-
can nation; it will replace this country
in the esteem of the world.

large movement Of Mexican troops
with ammunition, heavy field gun pieces
and machine guns to reinforce Gener-
al Trevino, accompanied alas and alas
by telegraphic advices from Washing
ton that General Pershing has been
ordered to gradually move northward
toward American soil.
The excuse of President Wilson for
this surrender to Carranza-for that
is what it isis that it will tend to a
peaceful solution of our controversy
with Mexico. The sentiment in Cali
fornia seems to be that the presi-
dents action will have a contrary eff
feet and that it will stimulate more
invasions of our territory and more
border raids on American towns.
What the California people would
like to see President Wilson do is to
serve notice on Mexico that the Unit
ed States troops have gone into that
country to stay until stable govern
ment is established and life and pro-
perty along the border are secure;
that we are going to do there what
England did in Egypt, and then with
draw, and what we did for Cuba, and
then come out; that we have no other
motive but to tranquillize the country
and substitute order for anacrhy. that
Carranza and the Mexican people are
expected to cooperate with us and we
do not invite war or bloodshed, but
prefer friendship and helpfulness.
And if, under these conditions, they
choose to fight us instead Of accept
ing our amity and good will-very

Such briefly is the California senti-
ment toward the present national ad-
ministration. California will give the
Hughes and Fairbanks electors 100000
plurality in November. It may be
more, but this figure is cinch. Mr..
Wilson finds that he cannot rule the
thoughts of the people Of this great
Coast as easily as he directed the
thoughts of those who controlled the
St. Louis convention.

severe attack of cholera morbus. Two
physicians worked over me from four
a. m. to six p. m. without giving me
any relief and then told me they did
not expect me to live; that had best
telegraph for my family. Instead of
doing so, gave the hotel porter fifty
cents and told him to buy me bot
tie of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and take no
substitutes. took a double dose ac-
cording to the directions and went to
sleep after the second dose. At five
o'clock the next morning ] was called
