HARRY LADDERS APPEAL

Harry Lauder, the Famous Scotch
Comedian, paid the supreme penalty;
he gave his only son that the cause OF
Liberty might live; as a Captain he
died on the field Of battle while lead
ing his troops, and today little plot
Of ground somewhere in France" con-
tains all that the little comedian held
most dear in life. After he had re-
covered from the shock of hearing Of
the death of his son, he visited the
grave; he leaned over it and read
what was written there; he knelt
down, indeed he lay upon the grave
and clutched it the while his body
shook with grief he felt, and then he
uttered this prayer: 80 God, that l
could have but one request. 1t would
be that l might embrace my laddie
just this once and thank him for what
he has done for his country and hu-
manity." There was no word of bitter
ness or complaint. He said, l must
be brave; my boy is watching and all
the other boys are waiting. And now
Harry Lauder is travelling all over this
country doing what he can to cheer up
the soldier boy and assisting in the
gathering of funds to make life at the
front more comfortable. Read his
message with respect to the Red Cross

At THE BAR OF JUSTICE
Jury in Lehman Murder Case Impaneled- Scene
of the Tragedy-State's Witnesses Testify
Damaging Testimon ny of the Other Woman

corroborate the story told on Tues
day by Mrs. Alley Fenton of a pas
slonate midsummer courtship culmi-
mating in improper relations between
herself and the accused. The next
step of the prosecution was to pick
UP the thread of elimination to show
that the only person up or around the
Lehman home the night of the MUIR
der was Lehman himself, and that his
bandit story was purely an invention
to escape detection. Evidently, an
ticipating that the defense might en-
deavor to cast suspicion on Dewey
Kemp, former hired man on the Leh-
man farm, the state established an
alibi for Kemp by witnesses who tes-
titled that they saw Kemp in Toledo
on the night of the murder. Kemp
himself swore that he was in his To-
ledo boarding house from midnight on
until the next morning.

UNION MEETINGS

At the meeting of the ministerial as
sociation on Monday the matter of
holding union meetings on Sunday
evenings came up for discussion. All
present were of the opinion that dur
ing the continuance of the coal short
age it would be well to conserve the
coal we have by having union Sunday
evening meetings, especially as some
families in town are without fuel and
others nearly so. 1t was finally de-
cided the churches being agreeable to
hold union Sunday evening services
commencing with next Sunday Dec
10th. The matter of how and where
the young peoples meetings will be
held was left to the leaders of each of
the respective societies who will con-
slider the question at the union young
peoples meeting on Friday evening
at the Christian church.
Following is the schedule of the pla-
ces and preachers for the union meet
ings:
Dec. 18th, Christian church, Rev. E.
! L. Marsh.
Dec. 23rd, Baptist church, Rev. c. F.
Evans.
Jan. OCl, EVdnSellcal cnurcn, REV.
G. B. Wiltsie.
Jan. 18th, Congregational church.
Rev. R. R. Risley.
Jan. goth, United Brethren church,
Rev. T. B. Ashton.
Offerings will be taken at each ser
vice. The loose money in the offer
ing will go to the church where the
service is held but all monies in enveI-
opes will go to the respective churches
designated on the envelope.
1t was also decided that the church
es observe the week of prayer COM
mencing Monday, December 81 Place
and leader will be announced later. It
is hoped that all other societies will
respect this week of prayer in plan
ming their evening gatherings.

HOGS DO BEST IF FED
ALL THEY WILL EAT

Sufficient feed, as well as the right
kind, is pointed out by animal hus
bandman at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton in hogs and a desirable degree
of fatness, or finish, when the hogs are
marketed, Pigs that gain most
rapidly generally bring the greatest
profits because they do more business
in given time and thus reduce risk
and overhead expenses. Often they
are marketed earlier and bring a
higher price. Quick gains generally
mean a low feed requirement for (,
pound of gain.
Hogs gained slightly more than l II
pounds daily for 81 days in one test al
the Experiment Station when fed all
they would consume without waste of
ground corn mixed with one-eighth as
much tankage. Other hogs given
three-fourths of a feed gained only
l 1-6 pounds day and required four
pounds more grain for 100 pounds
gain in live weight.
Pigs fed heavily in dry lot feeding
have higher market value per pound
than others given light ration. AS
abundance of feed for the hog serves
the interests of both producers anc
consumers better than scanty rationS
do.

4 WAUSEON MARINE
Letter From Joe Aldrich to the
Mother He Does Not Forget While
Serving With the U. S. Marines
Sea Voyage and Guard Duty.

In letter recently received at the
Tribune office from Mrs. Mary AL
drich, now of Tacoma, Wash, there
comes inclosed letter from her son,
Joe, who is now serving with the U.
S. Marines at Boston, Mass; also a
poem that Joe sent to his mother evi-
IDENTIFY clipped from a Y. M. C. A.
publication.
The letter is not only interesting
as containing frst-hand information
regarding the experiences of one of
our own boys in this branch of war
time service, but it also reveals the
spirit of the boy himself and makes
US all the more proud of him for his
thoughtfulness for his mother while
he is far separated from her and en-
gagged in the strenuous duties which
the. war has brought upon every
branch of the U. S. Military service
The poem, someway, goes straight
to the heart of the average man OF
woman, and touches a tenderer chord
of our natures.

Tuesday


The trial of Fred Lehman was re-
sumed today with more of a real
crowd in the court room than had ap-
peared at any previous session of the
trial.
Judge Wolf instructed the jury pre-
vious to the introduction of the States
first witness to disregard the state
ment of Attorney f. S. Ham made on
Thursday that the State would not
show proof of second degree murder;
Judge Wolf stated that it was the pro-
vince of the jury to determine what
the evidence presented did prove.
The first witness placed on the
stand Tuesday was Milton F. Griffin,
assistant surveyor who identified a
plat of the buildings and grounds
drawn by him to show the relative
distances between the several points
where Lehman stated he had been on
the morning of the murder. Other
witnesses called during the day were
Alley Fenton, Leo Fenton her husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Robasser, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Hallett, A. T. McCombs,
Bank cashier of Delta, Shirley Wilson,
T. & l. dispatcher and Roy Whitmeyer.
The center of interest and by far the
most important witness was Mrs. Fen
ton the woman who, the state ex-
poets to prove furnished the motive
for the crime with which Fred Leh-
man is charged, through Lehman's in
fatuation for her. Her story was
told in a simple direct manner that
could not be shaken on severe cross
examination. She made no effort to
conceal even the most embarrassing
situations and taken as a whole her
testimony seemed to the average lis
tener to be most damaging for the de.
fense. She admitted Fred Lehman'l
advances, his declaration of love, hls
kissing her, fondling her, placing hi:
hand under her dress and being i'm
properly intimate with her; also hi:
asking her if she would obtain a di
vorce from her husband and come t.
him if anything should happen to hi'
wife Grace. Her testimony alst
showed that she had known Gracu
Lehman since she was little girl, ant
was very fond Of her. Judge VIM
failed TO shake Mrs. Fenton's story il
any way, although she admitted he
love for Lehman. The testimony o
Leo Fenton corroborated that of hi
wife as did the testimony of other wit
nesses who had accompanied the Leh
mans and Fenton's on their variou
auto trips the testimony of the day al
so brought out an assertion made b,
Lehman on one of the auto excursion
that he had a gun; though Lehman ha
repeatedly asserted since the TRACED
that he never owned a revolver.
The court room was crowded al
during the day and it was with diff
Guilty that order was maintained a
times.

Congress May Give President Power.

\ friend on the street, Monday. said
he was living in the hope that present
conditions would drag along until after
Congress adjourns-only two weeks
more-and then the President could
not declare war. We had disliked to
dispel his hope, but suggested that the
President might ask of this Congress
authority to use the armed forces of
the United States, should the necessity
arise from extreme provocation after
the solemn statement of our determi-
nation to Germany.
Everywhere the hope is voiced that
the "oyeft" act viii not be committed
but nowhere do we hear regret that
President Wilson has made the Ameri-
can determination plain. Nowhere is
heard desire to hold other than the
Elost friendly relations with the Ger
man people. but the giving of author
ity to the President to call the nation
to arms should further abuse of our
friendship be felt, may serve to en-
phasize our determination and thus to
deter the act that that would set fire to
American indignation.
We believe President Wilson can D.
trusted with the authority which he is
likely to ask of Congress.
