BASKET BALL
First Home Game of High School
Team Last Friday Night With
Fayette Team-Fast Game Wau-
seOn VictOrs-COming Games.

The first game of the season for the
Wauseon High School Basket Ball
Team was played last Friday night at
Saunders Hall when the High School
Team of Fayette were the visitors.
There was a very good audience of
townspeople to witness the battle and
they were kept interested by the pre-
llmlnary game between the Sophs and
Freshmen of Wauseon high. The
youngsters put up lively game but
the Freshmen were somewhat out
classed by the Sophomores who claim
ed the victory by score of % to 4.
The Fayette team arrived just after
the close of the first half of the Fresh
man-SophOmore game and were ready
tor the fray at the conclusion of that
game The Fayette boys averaged
somewhat larger than the boys of the
local team but were a fine set of fell
lows and played good basket ball
though it took them all of the first
half to get warmed up.
The first fourteen minutes of the
game passed before the Fayette boys
scored; the first half closing with the
score reading to II in favor of
W auoCOH. OduluSl hOIISLId Ol NON6TL
Brothers, Toledo, was the referee and
seemed to give general satisfaction.
In the last half the Wauseon boys
slowed down trifie while the Fayette
team speeded up and the game closed
with a score of % to 13 in favor of
Wauseon. The Wauseon team are
starting out with fast game whether
or not they will develope the staying
qualities which will enable them to
keep the pace remains to be: seen.
Two other games were scheduled by
the Fulton Basket Ball Lea
que for last Friday evening, Mont
pelier VS. Stryker at Stryker and
Pioneer VS. West Unity at West Unity,
Friday evening December 18th and

WAUSEON

Go search the country over,
From the Mexico line to Maine,
From Baltimore to Oregon,
From Mobile to Champlain;
Each city, town and village
Go view them all and own,
That none can hold a candle
Toaour glorious Wauseon.
Go search old feudal Europe
In storied grandeur old,
Ger whose battlemented cities, vast
Grim centuries have rolled;
From Lapland to Gibralter-
From the Duro to the Don;
Yet nothing there will e'er compare
With glorious Wauseon.
Here stand no mouldering castles,
Gloomy relics of the past
Nor minret spire, nor dome arise
Ger ponderous structure vast;
Nor aught of regal grandeur here,
Where splendid and alone,
Sublimely o'er mud-hole stands
Our glorious Wauseon.
She boasts not of historic fame,
Of battle, siege and sack
With streets once red with CORY
streams
Mid smouldering ruins black:
Her streets ne'er flowed knee-deep in
blood,
No carnage here was done;
But knee-deep in unstoried mud,
Stands peaceful Wauseon.
When down beside the old Maumee,
mad Anthony's" thunder roared,
In furious fight along that shore,
Against the savage horde,
And when Tecumseh raised his arm
That selfsame shore upon
The oak trees waved their branches
Unconscious Wauseon.
For then the woodmen's ringing axe,
Had walked no echoes here;
Within the forest lurked the wolf,
And coursed the bounding deer;
And dusky warriors roamed the wilds
! That hid the coming dawn
OF. future greatness, sleeping with
S1he site of Wauseon.
But years, long years, have feetec
past,
The Red mans star is dim;
His glory and his race alike,
Have faded as a dream;
And here within his hunting grounds
Like Jonah's gourd, has grown,
The pride and boast of all the West,
Our glorious Wauseon.
So here's all hail to Wauseon,
All hail her people, too,
Who through old Clinton's realms Of
mud
Their boots to glory drew;
A health to each, health to all;
A health to everyone!
And last of all double health
To glorious Wauseon.

RATING REVISION.

The Wauseon Credit Association
will revise their rating book imme-
diately after January 1st. 1t is neces-
sary to make a revision of ratings be-
cause of the fact that great many
people have been so fair and prompt
in paying up long standing accounts
that they are entitled to and will have
a higher rating. On the other hand
there are a few who have made no
effort to take care of their just debts
and the rating of such as those will
have to be lowered, unless their ac-
counts are settled with the various
merchants by January 1st.
The Association hopes it will not be
necessary to lower the rating of any
but it will be necessary to do so in
a few instances unless prompt settle
ment is made. 1t should be matter
of pride with every one to have his
rating raised instead of lowered. 36-2

THERE WERE BOOSTERS
In Wauseon Even Fifty Years or More
AgO-Poem Written By Henry I'll.
Hollister, One of the Before the War
Boosters Died In War Hospital
1862.

The following poem was brought to
this office the other day by our friend
Charley Cornell, one of the youngest
old men, or the oldest young men, in
Northwestern Ohio; anyway he has
the advantage of being as lively and
enjoying the present as much as any
of US and at the same time having a
splendid memory of past experience
and of faces and persons whom he
knew in the years gone by. Mr.. Cor
nell says that if any one wants to
know about the author of the poem
published herewith, he will be glad to
tell them for he knew him we'll The
poem will appeal to the older resi-
dents of Wauseon who may remember
when Wauseon stood "knee deep in
unstoried mud" and yet was, "The
pride and boast of all the West" Our
Glorious Wauseon.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

In the death of sister Ellen Crew,
Wauseon Temple No. 337 loses a
highly honored member, kind and
true friend. While she was not an ac-

upon. Her gentle loving manner hav-
ing endeared her to US all,

to this sore despensation we offer our
deepest sympathy to the son, bereft
of an indulgent loving mother, and to
the other members of the family in
their hour of sadness.
Therefore be it Resolved. That our
charter be draped for a period of
thirty days; that copy of this reso-
luton be spread upon our minutes and
that they be published in our city pa
pers.
Respectfully submitted,

ELLEN LILLICH CREW

Ellen Jane, daughter of John and
Sarah Lillich, was born about three
miles south of Wauseon, Ohio, No
vember 18, 1843, and died in Wauseon
Ohio, December 8, 1916, aged seventy
three years and twenty days. She
was one of a family of nine children
seven sisters and two brothers, all of
whom are dead except Mrs. jeanne
Moses, of Alvordton, Ohio.
On January 1, 1870, she was united
in marriage to Micajab Grew of Wau-
seon, Ohio. One child, son, glad
dened their hearts and gave them
something worth while to live for.
With this son, Alva, she made her
home during the last eleven years of
her life. The remainder of her mar
ried life was lived on their farm
about six miles south east of here.
Her seed has not been greatly
multiplied. AS there was but one child
so also there is but one grandchild,
Mrs. Walter Disbrow, also of Wau-
seon, Ohio.
Mrs. Grew was Pythian Sister and
also an enthusiastic member of the
Women's Relief Corps. Many sick
hearts were cheered and sad hearts
relieved by her sacred ministries.
Almost half century ago she unit
ed with the Olive Branch U. B. church
and worked and worshipped therein
until in quite recent years she trans
ferred to the Methodist church of
Wauseon.
She bore her long and violent suf-
fering with great fortitude and pa
tience and left her testimony behind
of being both ready and willing to
go in Gods good time and way. We
have no doubt she is now beyond the
reach of pain and safe at home.
Folks in all direction keep saying
"a good woman is gone" Let them
have it so, the tribute has been well
earned.
Funeral services conducted by her
pastor, Rev. o. P. Hoffman were held
at the home of her son, Mr.. Alva
Crew, Monday afternoon, December
18th at 1:30 Interment made in
Wauseon cemetery.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS
PART IN OFFICIAL TAPE

One more roll of red tape has been
discovered in the order of events that
make up necessary action before the
loan fund commission can grant any
contractor privilege of entering Hille-
brand Glen for work on the Maole
ditch as recently bid for. 1t has just
been learned that the attorney general
has a part in the ceremonies by draft
ing the proper form of license.
Everybody is willing for the work
to go on, as near as the Star-Bulletin
can learn by inquiry, but it is red tape
that is holding up the work. Mean
while the days between now and the
rainy season are growing less and
less
AS the order stands at present, and
unless the sheriff must needs be call
ed into the scope of things, the tape
rolls up as follows: Request from loan

ships were due to dock in the harbor
The fact that the Thayer laundry.
woman and Mrs Thayer had within
the short space of half an hour made
a vigorous search for the glasses to
take look at the two boats Just after

TO the first intimatien that someone
had been in the house for thieyine
purposes Mrs Thayer wanted to
take look at the Wilhelmina and
the Japanese woman was anxious
about the Shinyo Maru
AS soon as search had failed 10 re,
veal the glasses, Mrs. Tilayer began
TO telephone about the ncighborhood
to see If any OF the residents had
seen anyone about the premises while
she had been away to town, and soon
learned that a purported repairer OF
sewing machines had visited the dis
trict and been TO her house
Secretary Thayer was informed Of
the matter and telephoned TO the 20
lice, who were soon on the trail OF
the thief, carrying out their part of
the program SO effectively that.
within an hour the glasses and man
had been located, but not before he
had pawned them at downtown
