FULTON COUNTY SCHOOL
MAY DAY-MAY 18th

One of the biggest days of the year
educationally speaking is the School
May Day Festival to be held at the
Fulton County Fair Grounds, Satur-
day May 18th. No one can afford to
miss this splendid opportunity of en-
couraging the forward movement in
education in our county.
1t will be day of enjoyment and
profit from beginning to end to all,
and your presence will lend inspir-
alton to the boys and girls, to the
teachers and to all school officials.
State Superintendent F. B. Pear
son of Columbus, will be there to ad-
dress the people. He is one of the
best speakers we have in the State
for such occasions and Fulton county
is very fortunate to get him for this
occasion. Let every person, interested
in the welfare of our boys and girls,
hear him, Mr.. Conklin of the Ohio
State University, the boys and girls
specialist, will be there to direct the
interests of the Club work and give
a helpful talk
From your seat in the grand stand
you will see the great army of boys
and girls Club members of our county
march by. To date, we have 521
members. Every spectator will want
to read the banners and cheer for
their Club as it passes by. Why? Be
cause these young people are real de-
tenders of the nation against the food
shortage that is facing US.
The boys and girls contests and
games will be exciting and medals will
be placed on the winners with all due
ceremony. The boy scouts of the
county will drill in front of the grand
stand to the delight of all who like to
look upon a company of fine young
fellows whose motto is SERVICE. The
slides, see-saws and swings will be
there more numerous than last year
and free to all, young and old. But
listen, the Delta "Kid" Band has been
secured for the occasion and all who
heard them last year will say that
this is a most fitting recognition of
the splendid way in which they enter
tanned the vast audience last year. The
noon hour will be an opportunity for
every one to enjoy the big picnic din
ner. Come with your basket well fill
ed, join with -our neighbors and
friends in a good old-fashioned visit,
renewing old acquaintance and max
ing new ones A charge of ten cents
will be made for admission to the
grand stand t" aid in defraying ex-
penses. Look for the "poster" that
will tell all about the "BIG DAY.. Be
a booster and help to make this day
worthy in every way of the educa-
tional interests of Fulton County.

RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross is anxious to have
available a sufficient quantity of non-
perishable goods to meet the first de-
mands made by war. Even though
money is available, the markets, fac
tories and other sources of supply are
so much upset by war conditions that
delays are inevitable. 1t has always
happened that when the needs of war
arise, the means of meeting them are
not available and a vast amount OF
suffering is caused, which could be
prevented by such provision as is now
proposed. 1t is suggested that small
groups or circles of volunteer work
ers be formed and that each group
be made responsible for the prepara-
zion Of one class of supplies.
Here in Wauseon we had hoped to
have definite plans for workers by
this time. We are trying to cooper
ate with the Toledo unit of the Red
Cross. Since they have just moved in
to new headquarters, there is some
delay. In the mean time there are ar
ticles that any woman could be max
ing in her home, viz: table napkins,
ID inches square, hemmed; tray covers
Is inches by % inches, hemmed. The
napkins and tray covers may be made
of old table linen; also handkerchiefs
1S inches square, hemmed or unhem-
med, may be made of old linen OF
muslin. Wash cloths 10 inches square
may be made from old turkish towl-
ing, heavy towels or counterpanes OF
they may be knit or crocheter from
white cotton yarn.
In making these articles, do not
throw away a particle of waste ma
terial, even seams, as it may be used
to fill fracture pillows, 13 by II inches.
Be very careful to get exact dimen-
sions as the Red Cross demands exact
ness.

CLEANUP DAY
Council Give Annual Spring Town
Cleaning Consideration - Tuesday
May 18th the Day-East Chestnut
Street Improvement Tabled Sew
ers For East Elm Street.

Street repairs, improvements and
cleaning up the town were the prin-
clpal Items considered by the Coun-
Gil at their meeting last Monday night.
The legislation for the proposed pave
ment of Beech street from the East
end of the present pavement to the
Franklin street intersection was be-
gun. The council voted to accept the
proposition presented by Mr.. Hill,
that property owners would repair the
block on West Elm street from Bru-
nell street to the D. I. & l. Railroad;
providing the village would furnish
the necessary materials.
Other streets in need of similar re-
pairs were listed and the Clerk was
instructed to place an order for fine
stone and tar at once.
Committee to whom the matter of
the East Elm street improvement had
been referred reported recommending
that both storm and sanitary sewers
be provided for this street at once
and that the matter of pavement be
left until another season. Council de-
cided to act upon these recommends
tions and referred the matter to the
city's engineer for estimates, profiles
and specifications. The sidewalk COM
mittee reported activities and recon-
mendations: The Wabash Railroad
notified to repair broken sidewalks on
North Fulton street; recommendations
to order section of walk on West Elm
street; new walk on East Cherry
street from East side of Franklin
street to West line of property of
Charley Snyder. A remonstrance
from property owners on East Chest
nut street against the ordering of the
| improvement of that street by paving
| at the present time was read and coun-
! Gil voted to table petition for such i'm
provement.
! The proposition to transfer title in
lands used as alley from Depot street
to West Elm street to the Village was
accepted by the council and such
transfer will be made. Clean up day
in Wauseon was discussed and the
Mayor announced Tuesday May 18th
as the date The collection of rub
bish and its disposition was placed in
the hands of the Street Commissioner.
Citizens are notified to place all rub
bish-not garbage-on the boulevards
at the curb line in front of their pro-
perty on Tuesday May 18th; such rub
bish will be collected by wagons and
hauled. away; charge of ten cents
per barrel will be made for this ser
vice.
The Clerk was instructed to notify
the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railway
company to fill up hole on their pro-
perty which for the last several years
has held drainage water which be-
comes stagnant and is a nuisance in
| the Summer season. Claim Ordin-
ance was passed and Council adjourn

DANGER OF
OVER PRODUCTION

The following letter has been sent
out to their clients over the country
by The Shippers Commission Co., Of
Cleveland and should have the con.
slderation of those farmers who hesi.
tate to put in extra large crops .:c,
fear of over-production and low prices
next year:
1.-The farmer is being urged SC
strongly from all sides to raise as
large crops as he possibly can this
year that he is in doubt whether il
would be wisdom on his part to do so
He seems to think if this advice is
followed generally by all the farmers
that prices will drop so low as t:
render his labor unremunerative.
He need have no fears on this score
Record breaking crops of grain car
be raised and prices will rule high, as
the following facts and figures will
prove.
The total population of the worlc
in round numbers is 1,750,000,0 900
About 80 per cent. of this number is
at war. AS near as can be estimated
the allied nations Ito which recent
circumstances have added the UniSed
States) have about 1,410, 100000 peo-
pie, the central powers 164, 900, 600
the neutrals 176,000,000.
.ssEhis means that during the wal
/ and for a long Sime afterwards, the
United States will be expected to fur
nish the big bulk of the food supplies
to about 100000 people. These
figures are stupendous but they are
accurate.
The requirements of this vast num-
ber will demand the utilization of
every acre of ground in our country
The farmer who cultivates all his
land this year to the fullest possible
extent will be rewarded with the
heaviest profit he ever received

Stryker, Delta, Swanton, Toledo and
other lodges in Ohio were among the

town last Tuesday and they certainly
were a fine and representative class of
American men.
Approximately 300 Knights partici-
pated in the parade, Wauseon Lodge
having $50 men in line. Knights of
Pythias are saying, it was "a Great
Day" and we may add one long to be
remembered in the annals of the Wau-

NECESSARY MEN

Although the United States Marine
Corps made the announcement on
April 2Sth that they had reached their
then authorized war strength of II 400
men, the necessary men were secured
two weeks before that time, and were
under training.
Two brothers who were anxious to
be "first to fight" we're enlisted on
Friday, April 13. They were Robert
Robert z. and Thomas B. Necessary,
sons of Mrs. Sallie Necessary, of Red
Rock, Texas.
"The response of red-blooded Ameri-
cans to their country's call for addi-
tional Marines has been particularly
gratifying" said Major General Geo.
Barnett, Commandant Of the Marine
Corps, "and we anticipate no difficulty
in securing the 12,600 more which are
likely to be authorized any day, and
for which recruiting has already been
started"

GLAD HE'S AN AMERICAN

Although at one time a personal
friend of the Emperor of Germany,
who has had several talks with him,
Sergeant Major Henry A. Riekers, U.
S. Marine Corps, said today that he
was glad he now belonged to the
American soldier-sailors who are like
ly to be "first to fight" overseas.
When the U. S. S. Louisiana visited
Kiel, Germany, shortly before the war
the Kaiser came aboard and being i'm
pressed with the soldierly bearing and

marked that he was "the finest look
ing soldier in Germany" which state

and seven of the nine trustees were
present Had the other two members

ing would have been retained. The
vote was four to three. A week be-
fore, with all members of the board
present, the proposition to accept
Nearing's resignation had been voted
down by vote of to a.
Professor Scott Nearing was given
notice that his services would be no
