DIR. r. w. Hall, deputy state regis
trar OF vital statistics, has prepared
communication to the county boards
of supervisors, calling attention TO the
bounden duty which they owe to the
local vital statistics registrars in their
counties. The fact was brought direct
ly to the board OF health that in some
instances the stipends due those local
statisticians has been SO long delayed
that IL looked as IL 1t was an inten-
tional default.
Discussing the matter Dr.. Hall stat
ed: 81 have been instructed by the
board to henceforth give the board of
supervisors of each county advance
notice to provide each year sufficient
funds for the remuneration of all their
registrars.
"The bureau has now been I'm opera
tion a sufficient time for every citizen
of the state to be familiar with all it's
requirements, thereby barring ignor-
ance of the law as a plea for neglect
or defense against prosecution. Hence
forth all violations of the regulations
governing this important work will be
strictly dealt with and all regulations
enforced by the regulations of the bu.
reau and by all civil authorities"
Apparently all has not been pleasant
for a number OF employees and attend
ants at the State Insane Hospital since
the new administration under DIR. X.
M. Butler began. At least this was the
experience OF nine husky and active
young men, some of whom had been
employed at the institution for several
years past, who abruptly and positive
ly left the hospital in body, declar-
ing that after vainly trying for several
weeks they had found 1t was "impos-
sible to get along with DIR. Butler"
The hospital authorities put the dis
missal of the men on the general
ground of inefficiency and insubordi-
nation.

Through the cooperation of

partment is ready to go on rec
ord now as reporting that fires

"Fire Bugs" Disap-
pearing

The crime of arson is rapidly
disappearing in Minnesota.
This is due primarily to the
growing unpopularity of this
form Of raising money. It is too
risky also, in the opinion of Rob
ert w. Hargadine, State Fire
Marshal.
"A comparison of the number
of incendiary cases brought to
the attention of this department
so far this year, with the cores
ponding period in 1915 shows a
remarkable decrease" said Mr..
Hargadine. ''For many years
incendiaries were found in prac-
tically every community. Some
were purely pyromaniacs, who
started fires simply through the
insane desire to see something
burning; others were fre-bugs
for profit. Of recent years this
form of realizing on insurance

PULL FOR JULIUS

Eastwood's ego is reflected in
his presumption that his appeal
for support for ''his old friend
and neighbor" would line the
boys of the press up solidly for
Mr.. Sampson. Without ques-
tioning anything which East
wood says about Simpson, how
ever, there is one little reason
why we have no disposition to
give him a boost or a vote and
that little reason" takes form
in the lkrson of a certain little
dutchman, Julius Schmahl by
name, who now occupies the Of
flee of secretary of state and
who has filled that position with
credit to himself and to the
State of Minnesota for several
years past. We are not 'long''
on the general practice Of re-
tanning men in office for a life
time, but we are free to confess
that we know of no reason why
julius Schmahl should not be
retained in the position he holds
as long as the standard of eff
cheney which he has established
in the past is retaining. Alto

WORKING EIGHT HOURS

Generally speaking, man 60
years old has slept 20 years,
played 20 years and worked 20
years. That is to say, he has
divided each day of his life as
follows: Eight hours for sleep,
eight hours for pleasure and rec
reation and eight hours for
work.
Of course, there are excep-
ticns to this rule, but the man
who violates this division of his
day for any considerable length
Of time in the end likely will
pay the piper. If he sleeps too
much, he's dope. If he plays
too much, he vegetables and dis
qualities himself for work. If
he works too much, he breaks
down.
Only a third of ones life
seems a small proportion to de-
vote to work. 1t would seem
that man could not accomplish
much who devotes two-thirds of
his life to sleep and recreation,
and some men do not accomplish
much, but that is because they
dc not make the most Of their
working hours.

BASKET BALL
WauseOn High School Boys Score A
Victory Over Montpelier Visitors
Last Friday Evening-Wauseon
Grades Also Victorious. Napoleon
High VS. WauseOn High at Saun-
ders Hall Tonight.

About 400 people gathered last Fri
day evening to witness the Basket
Ball games between the Montpelier
High School team and that Of the
Wauseon High, also the battle of the
West Unity Grades against the Wau-
seon Grades. Wauseon boys were
victorious in both games much to the
delight of the Wauseon rooters who
were out in splendid array.
The teams from Montpelier and
West Unity were unaccompanied by
any of their home folks, but they
were fine fellows and played clean
game.
The score was 43 to II in favor of
Wauseon in the Montpelier-W Wauseon
game, and the Wauseon Grade Boys
kept up the enthusiasm of the Wau-
seon Rooters by putting it over the
West Unity Boys by good wide mar
gin.
The Wauseon High School team is
composed of: Snyder, Captain, Grif-
fin center, Harry Sweeny left for
ward, Farley right guard, Harold
Sweeny left guard; Harold Bayes,
Frank Ufer and Lloyd Abbs sub
stltuteS.
Not so very many moons ago the
above aggregation invaded the baili-
wick of the Napoleon High School
team and were very efficiently beaten
by score of 40 to 27 in favor of the
Napoleons who out class the Wauseon
warriors in size and in weight. But
the blood of the Wauseon warriors
is I'M since thew attached the Sra1n
of Montpelier, (Figuratively speaking
of course,) to their girdle, and Fri
dav night, January 14th these same
Wauseon braves will meet the Napo-
Icons on their own camping ground
at Saunders Hall and the result is
likely to be intensely interesting.

the building and maintenance of roads
shoulu be demonstrated, was referred
20 Messers. Reighard and Deyo for
action.
The relation of this club to the Full
ton County Agricultural Improvement
Association was discussed and the fact
established that the purpose of this
club has been and is to afford an op-
portunity to the farmers of the coun-
ty to organize such an Association and
TO aid them in any way it can in per-
fectlng such an organization and Sc
.uring the help along the line of
agricultural Improvement and the
solution of farm problems which has

legislation. A motion was carried
tnAt the Club stand back of the Of
ficers of the Agricultural Improvement
Association to render any assistance
that such officers might need in pre-
senting the matter to the farmers of
the county.
The matters of cooperative sys-
TENS of credits, giving to charitable
causes and outside advertising were
brought before the club; after con-
siderable discussion a motion prevail

EASTER SEASON.

"To everything there is a season
and time to every purpose under
the heaven" Eccl. 8, 1. A favorable
season for calling men from sin to
righteousness, from the world and
worldiness to the church and godliness
is the pre-easter season. Especially
passion week. The custom is becom-
ing quite prevalent among the
churches, generally to hold special
services a week or ten days at this
time of the year eliminating with
Easter. We wish to begin the beauti-
full and fitting custom in our city this
year. Several of the churches are
planning on this and we believe that
they should be given the right of
way for the time being. Hence we
suggest to the citizens of~Wauseon
the fitness of refraining from all pub
lie suppers, parties, ball games and
social functions of all kinds for at
least a week or ten days proceeding
Easter. We believe that you will see
at once the reasonableness of our
recommendation and we wish to assure
you of our profoundest appreciation Of
your cooperation in this matter.

FULTON COUNTY
EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The reports of attendance for the
last month will be in the next weeks
news.
Fulton township centralized schools
are to have their "School Visiting
Week" next week. Scarlet fever
prevented them from having it at the
regular time.
A splendid attendance record was
made by the Archbold eighth grade
pupils In the first four months of the
year. The total number of days alb
sence was only five and one half,
making the percentage of attendance
for the time 99.62 Tis grade has an
enrolment of nineteen pupils and the
teacher is Miss Jessie Bloomer.
The Farmers Institute at Fayette
this week is certainly not forgetting
the schools. Good substantial prizes
are being given in all lines of school
work. Prof. Biery and Supt. Perry
are acting as the judges in the school
display.
Official lists of words for the great
State Spelling Contest to be held in
Columbus June End, 1916, are now in
the hands of the teachers of the coun-
ty. A number of preliminary con-
tests will be held prior to the final
county contest which will probably be
May 10Th.
A farmers institute and school rallv
day for Clinton township will be held
at the court house January 21st and
END. Among the speakers for the
occasion will be Prof. Biery, DR.. S. G..
Boudreau of the State Department of
Health, and Charles II. Allen of the
Toledo Commerce Club. The schools
OF the township will do a considerable
amount of class demonstration work.
which should be of interest to all
school people.
The rules and regulations and list
OF entries and premiums offered in
the educational department of the
Fulton County Fair for 1915 are ready
for distribution. The Fair Board is
certainly to be commended on giving
this splendid opportunity to the
schools to get their work before the
people of the county and at the same
time to receive a reward for the eff
fort. Every teacher and pupil in the
county should be a "booster" for the
Fair.
A new and verv interesting feature
If the Fair will he the stock Judging
contest which will be open to all pu-
oils who carry on during the summer
months certain home activities under
The direction of the State Agricultural
Department and the school Suuerin-
tendents of the county. Full par
ticnlars of this work will soon be given
It is hoped that every one who reads
his announcement will encourage the
boys of his community to take part
N the contest. No better opportun-
'tv for developinp the embryonic
farmer could be offered.
