The Victim $27.44 The Amount

bad city," when "really truly" hold
up man held up Shipman Losure,
night agent of The Toledo and In
diana Railway at about 9:20 by The
station clock on last Thursday even
ing March 8th. Mr.. Losure was eat
ing his lunch; one of the men from
the commercial light and power office
next door had just gone out of the
ticket office leaving the door unlatch-
ed when Mr.. Losure became aware of
the presence of a man holding a hand
kerchlef to his face as Mr.. Losure
glanced up to inquire the strangers
business, he looked into the muzzle of
revolver and was ordered by the
stranger to open the cash drawer. The
revolver and the determined air OF
the stranger persuaded Mr.. Losure
to do as he was told and he opened
the cash drawer from which the
stranger took the sum of $2744 and
departed for parts unknown.
Mr.. Losure's description of the mar
tailed with that of a man who had
been seen about town during the late
afternoon and evening but no clue
could be discovered as to his where.

House Sunday Afternoon

study of social life in India, China,
Japan and the Mormon Kingdom in
America Miss Frances B. Patterson
comes to Wauseon, on March 18th to
speak at 2:30 p. m. in Court House
to say, among other things, that Nor
monism marks the lowest level of
female abasement.
Infamous" is the word Miss Pat
terson uses to describe the Mormon
system, including polygamy; and her
message is in the nature of expert
testimony.
/ Miss Patterson has studied life
among the Hindoos during her long
stay in India; she has served as q
missionery in both China and Japan
and she knows, by most intimate as
sociation, just how the social relation
is maintained in those countries and
she asserts without equivocation that
the Mormon system is the very worst

encountered.

AN AMERICAN

The solution of the paradox, "When
is an American not an American" has
just been discovered by Benno Weller,
born in Nebraska, and more recently
engaged as farmer in Canada.
Weller went to Canada some years
ago and, in order to obtain a patent
on a farm there, became a naturalized
citizen of Great Britain. A few weeks
ago he returned to this country and
tried to enlist in the United States
Marine Corps but was rejected as an
alien. The Secretary of Labor was
appealed to and decided that Weller
would be required to go through the
same procedure as foreigner in or
der to again become a citizen of the
United States,, which he did and was
enlisted today.
Weller said he would not change ma
tionalities again for a farm.

For the first time in many years
the docket will bear no record Of

the court has discretion thu
obviating the necessity of a tria
by jury, are taken care of at once b.
the court and judgment rendered thu
saving a vast amount of expense t.
the county. Of course we would lik
to think that the residents of Fultol
county are attaining to higher stan
dard of morality and thus there ar
fewer law violations than formerly.
