had reason 10 expect an even more
destructive season in 1917 provided
the winter should prove mild. Elk
perts OF the department Of agricul-
ture admitted that a mild winter
would permit millions OF boil
weeviis 20 survive the cold months.
This would mean that spring and
summer would find the insects pres
ent IN greater numbers than ever
before.
Therefore the cold winter has
come in the nick Of time 10 save the
southern cotton crop. Freezing tenn
peratures have been noted praeti-
cally throughout the south. and
much OF the weevil-infested terri
tory, therefore. will be reclaimed.
This cold weather. coupled with
the earnest work the department Of
agriculture. in cooperation with the
southern state governments. Is max
ing 20 check the ravaSes OF the pest
in all probability will presage the
ultimate determination OF the boil
weevil in the south. The department
Of agriculture is working on a new
plan 20 wipe out the weevil. and
now that the aggregate number Of
weevils has been materially de-
decreased by freezing weather, the
department will be able 10 go at the
work in the hope OF making some
progress. With the southern states
overwhelmed by the insects, il
would have proved an almost hope
less task to eradicate the weevil.
Now that the number has been re-
duced destruction can more than
keep pace with propagation. IL is ex-
pected.

AT THE OLIVER.

The Girl Who Didn't Care" is
the title of the sensational six reel
picture which opens a three days
engagement at the Oliver theater to-
day. This picture ran for weeks at
the Bandbox theater in Chicago and
broke all records for attendance at
that theater. The piece is said to be
well produced and a fine cast inter

James Morrison. Donald Hall,

story, while melodramatic, is well
told and is filled with thrilling stu
atoms and stirring climaXes. Per

Legend of Hanoman's Stone.

Numerous large powders in Eng
land as well as in this country have
received the name Of the hangman's
stone, as a result Of a legend which
attaches much the same story to each
There were two fiends in the parish Of
Foremark, in Derbyshlre, called the
Great and the Little Hangman's Stone,
from the boulders which they con-
tanned. The former was five or six feet
high, with an indentation running
across the top. This peculiar mark
was explained by tradition, as follows:
Once upon time a thief having
stolen a sheep. placed his booty on the
top Of the stone while he rested, but
it slipped OF and strangled the man
with the rope which tied the sheep to
his back, the indentatlon being made
by the friction Of the rope passing
back and forth in the struggles Of the
dyins -. to extricate himself.

A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

On Wednesday April 4th Amaziah
Clark was bending over the wood pile
splitting wood. Hearing voices he
raised up and to his great surprise,
there stood two automobile loads
composed of his children, grandchlI-
dren and great grandchildren TO re-
mind him of his seventy-ffth birth
day. Basket after basket was carried
in and contents placed upon the table
and they all enjoyed hearty BIRTH
day dinner and for the future comfort
of Mr.. Clark was left a rocking chair.
The guests present were as follows
His children: Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
E. Clark, of Swanton; Mr.. and Mrs.
John Miller, of Whitehouse; Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Pennington, of Oak Shade;
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Clark, at his

Resolutions
Report Of Committee on Resolutions
Adopted By Meeting of Northwest
ern Ohio Superintendent and Prin-
cipals Round Table at Wauseon
March 3Oth and 31st, 1917.

We desire to express to Supt. Alt
stetter and his corps of teachers our
appreciation of the kind and courte-
Gus treatment we have received at this
meeting, to the Business Men and the
Pythian Sisters of Wauseon foc the
excellent banquet and the plea 5a T.
social hour which they planned for
the members of the Association, to
the boys high school glee club for
their excellent music, and 10 all
others who contributed to the pro-
gram and to the various officers for
the faithful performance OF their du-
ties. We especially desire to express
to President Bryan our ken appre-
citation for his splendid presentation
of the philosophy wi,ich should guide
US in our planning for vocational edu-
cation.
On account of the increased effici-
ency so wisely demanded of teachers,
because of the prevailing high cost of
living, and in order to secure suffi-
cient number of qualified teachers, we
earnestly believe that the state at
large should contribute more gener-
ously to the support of public educa-
ton, as was provided in the Crawford
bill which was under consideration in
the last legislature.
Recognizing the fact that the mini
mum salary of fifty dollars per month
provided by recent enactment is equi-
valent to less than thirty-f1ve dollars
per month ten years ago, we recon-
mend to Boards of Education to do
all in their power to provide salaries
commensurate with the outlay de-
manded.
/ We again assert our faith in the
new school code. We rejoice in the
fact that it has not only been kept in
tact but strengthened by the recent
/ legislature and we recommend that
it be further strengthened by giving
to the county boards of education COM
plete power to transfer territory, tc
the district the same power to ap-
point teachers as is now exercised by
the city superintendent in the ap-
pointment of principals, to the coun-
ty board Of education the power to ap-
point truant officer, and we recon-
mend the placing Of the county nor
NAL school under the control of the
county board of education. We de.
plore war. We appreciate the bless
ings of peace which have been ours
and we most heartily wish that {
way might be found whereby we may

This movement seems to us worthy
of the serious consideration of young
and old alike; from every angle in
which it may be viewed this move
ment promises to be Of benefit to the
American people and it is to be sin
cerely hoped that there will be many
in Wauseon who will want to join in
this kind of a campaign. Boys and

this way "do their bit" for their nation
and their State and at the same time
be doing something for themselves
