MEMS BANQUET
Men of The Methodist Church Cele-
brated Washington's Birthday By
Banquet Served by Ladies of the
Church-One Hundred Forty Four
Banqueters- Some Fine Talks.

The Mems Class of the Methodist
Sunday School celebrated Washing
toms Birthday and welcomed new
members of the class last Thursday
evening, February 22nd by enjoying
an excellent banquet served by the
ladies of the church and an equally en-
joyable program following the BAN
quet.
AS a result of the contest between
the Mems classes of the Wauseon and
Fayette Methodist Sunday School
number of new members have been
added to the Wauseon class and the
banquet served as means of extend
ing to such new members the frater-
nal welcome of the class.
One hundred and fifty-four plates
were laid and it goes without saying
that the good things to eat served by
the ladies of the church were thor
oughly enjoyed by the banqueters.
Following the banquet a fine musi-
cal program was rendered, Brandon
Schnorf gave in his wonderfully fine
manner 'The Chariot. Race" from Ben
Hur, and then followed a series of ex-
cellent talks which formed one of the
most enjoyable features of the occas-
ion.
Mr.. Charles Bulger as president of
the class presided and introduced the
program of speakers with some very
fitting remarks. DR.. C. A. Cele
welcomed the new members in behalf
of the official. Board of the church;
Mr.. C. J. Ives in behalf of the Sun
day School and the teacher of the
class Mr.. C. o. Castle extended the
welcome to the class. DR.. Bettz gave
a most excellent talk on sociability
Mr.. Charles T. Stahl responded in be-
half of the new members in an ad-
dress which many said was among the
best they had ever heard him give

TWO SOLDIERS

1t is an interesting circumstance
when two soldiers get together to ex-
change notes and experiences and it is
still more interesting when one of the
soldiers is one who served under the
conditions that obtained in the six
ties and the other one who is
serving under the present conditions:
That is why letter received by Sim
con Boyer from a young soldier rela-
tive now serving in Company GA" 18th
Infantry U. S. A. is of special inter
est not only to Simeon but as well to
those special friends whom Simeon
has favored by permitting them to
read the letter. The young man, a
former Wauseon boy, George A.
Smith by name, is stationed at No
gales, Arizona, and writes that he is
in the best of health and that the
weather has been so nice in that sec
ton that they have not had to have
fires in their tents. except at night.
This young man is serving as school
teacher for the soldiers and speaks of
his company's library association of
which he is president-secretary This
company of soldiers is spending $62.45
for magazines this year and have also
purchased a set of ten volumes in re-
gard to the European War in which
the members of the company are very
much interested.
He speaks of much talk about their
going over to Germany but considers
it nothing but talk, he also writes in
regard to heavy >maching order inspec-
tions which they have been having re
Gently. 1t is a soldiers letter to a
soldier who the writer seems to feel
will understand because he has him
self been through all that is written
in regard to the life of soldier.

vey of drainage basin tributary to
the present water works land with a
view to impounding surface water for
use In the village, a very brief con-
sideration of such a project was suf-
ficient to establish the fact that the
cost would be far more than $4,000,
the price which the Lane-Bohler Com
pany ask for a guaranteed production
of 500 gallons per minute and Mr..
Howe suggested doubt in regard to
the State Board of Health permitting
the use of such water.
Another proposition presented was
one originally proposed by Mr.. w. ].
Harper that large well be made to
receive the water of a nearby creek
and such water be "fed" into the wells
now in use to augment the original
supply; the same objections OF pro-
hibitive expense and doubt as to the
permission to use being granted by
the State Board of Health obtained
for this proposition as for the pre-
vious one and as compared with all or
any otherpropositions to secure an ade
quate water supply the proposal of
the Lane-Bohler Company seemed by
far the best and most practicable but
there seemed to be a disposition to dis
credit it unless all possibility of haz-
ard for the village could be eliminated
though Mr.. Sherman advised the
conncil that it was impossible to seek
an adequate supply of water from an
under ground source without taking
some measure of chance.
Mr.. w. J. Harper suggested that
the village assume all of the risk in
securing more water by securing a
type of centrifugal pump manufactur-
ed by firm in Anderson, Indiana and
placing such a pump in one of the
wells at the plant in the hope that by
this means an adequate supply of wa
ter might be secured this project was
discussed at some length and ended
in the appointment of Mr.. Harper tc
communicate with the manufacturer;
of the pumps referred to and if neces
sary go to Anderson to secure a suit
able pump to make the test.
The proposal embodied in the re-
port of the water works board to ad
vertise for bids for a guaranteed wa.
ter supply in accordance with the
Lane-Bohler Company offer was laiC
on the table until the next regular
meeting which will occur next Mon
day night.

SAlSs
Today starts the week Of real work.
Today ushers in the greatest week of
all in The West Virginia's Great Col:
den Festival. No one week that has
gone before has been anything like
this week will be. OF that there is
not the slightest doubt.
The largest votes OF the entire cam.
paign are in force this week. The
greatest schedule OF all closes Sat
urday night at nine o'clock. All OF the
candidates who are hoping to win one
of the ten valuable prizes are making
extensive plans this week. In making
your plans, be sure to plan systema.
tically, as the manager has SO often
pointed out.
AS this will be the greatest week of
all, be sure to turn in your subscrip.
lions as fast as you get them. That
is, every day or two, for there will be
an unusual rush at the contest office
all this week, so IL you would avoid
long wait when you come to turn in
your subscriptions, you will get them
in each day or so.
After this week, no new candidate
will be allowed to enter the campaign.
So II you have been waiting to enter
until now, be sure to get your nomin-
alton in before the end OF the week,
for all new nominations will be barred
after this week comes to close.
AS the closing days approach, in.
terest in the campaign becomes keener
and keener. The public is beginning
to take sides and boost for their
friends and acquatntances. In fact
1t is becoming far easier to secure sub.
scriptions these days than 1t has ever

people who have already given sub.
scriptions are extending their subscrip.
tons, giving six months or year

others, in order to help along toward
success and the most ambitious can.
didates.
In your work this week, keep your
eyes on the main chance. Srhis is the
big week, the week of all weeks, so
make your plans big, and then execute
them Watch your own campaign and
think only of securing subscriptions
and votes. Never mind the campaign
of your competitors. That will not
get you any votes. And 1t takes votes
to win, remember that.
