A SAFE INVESTMENT

~ HERE are quite a few Pen
" dleton people who make
good profits, in conser-
vative way by having a few
houses to rent. The rents are
high here and houses always
in demand, particularly if To-
Gated in desirable sections. 1t
is a form of investment that
should appeal to people who
have a little money and desire
to place it where it may be sure
of earning a reasonable profit.
Those who wish to invest
money in such an enterprise
may feel safe in doing so. 1t
is a field that is seldom over
worked in a town of this sort.
Pendleton has been making a
slow, steady growth and there
are reasons to anticipate con-
tinuance of this progress. The
natural drift these days is tow
ard the larger community
centers. 1t is a tendency that
may be ascribed in consider
able degree to the auto for the
motor car has extended trade
zones materially. AS more and
more machines come into use
and better roads are provided
the situation will become even
more pronounced. Considering
the auto and the road subject
plus the possibilities from the
Panama canal following the
close of the war it seems rea-
sonable to incline toward op-
timism over most all of the live
northwest towns having tri-
butary territory of substantial
character.
The East Oregoniau opines
that a period Of DEVELOPMENT
awaits the northwest and that
Pendleton is going to secure
its share Of new business and
new nopulation. We can and
should helm the move along bv
seeing fhat houses are p-ovid-
ed as needed.

THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

T F the senate concurs in the
plan already passed by the
house with reference to
the second liberty loan the new
bonds will bear four per cent
interest instead of three and a
half but will not carry all the
tax exempting provisions en-
ioyed by the first liberty bonds.
Aside from the higher rate,
the chief difference in the new
bonds is that they will be liable
to surtaxes of the income tax
and also to inheritance taxes,
whereas the Liberty Loan
bonds were entirely free from
taxation. In this way the new
bonds for the average person.
even those liable to the normal
income tax. will be free from
taxes, but by imposing the sur
tax it will make impossible the
lodging of taxes by the milll-
onaire who might otherwise in
vest the major portion of his
liquid capital in the govern
ment taX-empt bonds.
AS previously promised the
holders of the first liberty loan
bonds may convert them into
the new four per cent bonds II
they wish to do so. Anyone
desiring to avoid all taxation
features will be able to do so
by retaining their old bonds.

WAR TAXES IN SERVICE
AND IN RESERVE

! q TAMP taxes on financial
IS paper have always been
considered among the
first resources of the federal
government for war revenue.
They have been stricken from
the present War-Revenue Bill
as it finally passed the senate.
General increases in tariff
taxes have been similarly con-
sidered. They have also been
stricken from the bill. Con-
sumption taxes on tea. coffee,
cocoa and sugar have been an
invariable experience of war
time and not an uncommon eX-
perience in peace. But these
as we'll have gone out of the
bill.
Yet this bill as now voted by
the senate carries special war
taxes estimated to yield 81
400.000.000 year. This is
three times the ordinary fed
aral revenues before the war.
It is more than the entire bor-
rowings of the Washington
government throughout four
years of Civil War. 1t is nearly
S60O,OO0.0OO more than the
house bill provided with all of
these old-time war taxes in
.cluded. And it is still far from
exhausting the revenue possi-
bilities of income and war
profits taxes.
The so-called wealth con-
scrirtionists have had only a
small part of their way and the
war obstructionists in their va
rious guises have had no part
of their way. Nevertheless.
the bill is almost exclusively a
wealth-conscription bill.
This is its first great feature.
It's second great feature is that
in all of its unparalleled mag
nitude it leaves so many of the
countrv's war-taxable resourc-
as untouched. 1t is as notable
for the revenue powers left in
reserve as for the revenue pow
ers which it brings into service.
If ANYBODY at home or abroad
is under the impression that
the country is striking a top
notch financial pace at the
start in the war, this bill will
undeceive him.-New York

INCOMPETENCE

Statistics on failures, in 1915, COM
piled and published by The Bradstreet
Company show that out of the total
1896 failures in the United States,
5,468 were due to Incompetence; 1872
per cent. A few cases among these
might be classed under the true sense
of the word, mentally deficient The
most of them were those who were
unable to do what their business re-
quired of them to sustain it, they
we're unfit to cope with the circum-
stances of life in this modern Goth
century. where we must be wide
awake to the keenest intellectual COM
petition, The failures due to ordinary
competition was 701 or AZ per cent.
in 1916 education in the business
world of the United States, was bad
iy beaten by incompetence. Through
education we gain knowledge and
knowledge is power.
These statistics should be a guide
to the student, to ever remember that
there is going to be plenty of time to
make money after you are competent
20 do so thru education You must
always sacrifice something in order
to gain, be it time or money. A thing
worth while doing is worth while do

PIONEER PASSES
Daniel Ritzenthaler, WauseOn's Old
est Business Man and Pioneer Citi-
zen Dies at His Home Monday
Evening February 18th.

A man who by his quiet and kindly
manner as well as by his strict in
tegrity and absolute honesty has won
a high place in the esteem of this
community has passed on to his high
reward in the death on Monday even
ing of Daniel Ritzenthaler at his
home on South Fulton street
Having been in business in this
place for fifty-four years, a member
of the Methodist church for ffty-two
years and having been through all
these years almost daily at his place
of business, until within the last two
or three days he was perhaps the
best known business man in Wauseon
and it follows that he will be gener-
ally missed.
Daniel Ritzenthaler was born at
Baden, Germany, March Both, 1888,
he had attained the age of seventy
eight years, ten months and nineteen
days at the time of his decease. He
completed his education in the Ger
man schools and at the age of seven
teen in company with six companions
he left Germany and came to San
dusky, Ohio, in 1856. He secured a
position with a farmer at Milan, Ohio,
where he worked for three years, the
farmer for whom he worked taught
him his English letters.
During this period he made his
home with sister of Thomas Edison
and was well acquainted with this
great American inventor in his earlier
years.
One of the keepsakes which Mr..
Ritzenthaler treasured was gold dol
lar, the first dollar that he earned in
America
In the Spring of 1858 he came to

PROBE DEMANDED
Business Men of WauseOn Meet and
Pass Resolution Demanding Probe
of Inequality of Wholesale Prices of
Gasoline and Legislative Action to
Regulate Such Prices.

A special meeting of the Boosters
Club was held at the court house We'd
nesday afternoon for the purpose of
discussing the inequality of the
wholesale prices of gasoline in the
States of Ohio, Michigan and Indiana
and to formulate ipegructions to the
Representative regarding the attitude
OF the people Of Wauseon and vicin-
ity to a legislative probe in this mat
ter.
The meeting was called to order by
president +. r. Guilford who stated
the purpose of the meeting and call
ed for a discussion of the matter be-
fore the Club.
Messrs. Davis Johnson, c. A. Cole
and F. R. Harper, Ed. Scott and
others participated in the discussion
which brought out the facts that at
the present time gasoline can be pur-
cased at retail for five cents less pei
gallon in Michigan and Indiana thar
1T can in Ohio, and the testimony OF
some Oh those present showed that
gasoline has been retailed in the state
of Michigan for less money than the
dealers in Ohio have to pay at whole
sale in Ohio while at the same time
the gasoline was sold by the same
company in both states and that sole
to Ohio dealers was of the same or in
ferior quality to that sold in Mich
igan. This inequality of wholesale
prices initiates against the trade i. o.
Wauseon in that automobile owner!
living in the northern part of the
county will drive to towns over th'
line in Michigan in order to effect {
material saving in the cost of gaso
line and while buying gasoline will al
so do their other trading which nor
mally they would do in Wauseon o.
other Fulton county towns.
After discussion motion was mad
by Davis Johnson that the Boosters
Club notify our State Senator an
Representative that the people o
Wauseon and vicinity demand tina
the state legislature order a prob
regarding the inequality of wholesal
| prices of gasoline in Ohio and ad
joining states and that laws be enact
; ed to regulate such prices.
: This motion was carried unanimous
: ly and second motion was introduce
: by Mr.. Johnson that the other town
, of this county and the county sea
towns of adjoining counties be notifie
! of the action taken by the Boosters

COMMON C0LDS
Some Sound and Practical Sugges-
tions Concerning The Most Prevail
ent Illness in The United States
From U. s. Public Health Service.

The most prevalent illness in the
United States is the common cold, a
disease group included under one
name and considered Of such minor
Importance that vital statistics do
not record the enormous number of
persons who annually are subjected
10 suffering, inconvenience, and econ
omic loss thereby. Remarkable as it
iCy with this condition has bred a con-
tempt which hides it's seriousness, yet
when the sum, total of the ravages
committed by common colds is made
it becomes evident that instead of be-
ing a group of trivial affections, COM
mon colds must be classed as serious
diseases.
The phrase Common colds" like
charity, covers a multitude of sani-
tary sins, and curiously enough, the
name has been applied to a group OF
affections which far from. depending
absolutely on cold are frequently the
direct result of living in close, over
heated surroundings having a lower
relative humidity than the dryest
known to man,
The word "colds" means an acute
infection of the lining membranes OF
the nose, tonsils, throat and larger
bronchial tubes. The process may be
even more extensive and amount to a
general infection of the entire body
All of the breathing apparatus ex'
cepting the smaller terminal portions
in the lungs may be involved, and as
a matter of fact the disease may, and
often does, spread to these, thus pro.
ducing pneumonia. In this connection
it may be pointed out that pneumonia
kills more people in the United State:
than any other disease excepting
tuberculosis and heart disease. Man.
pneumonias begin as common cold
Colds do not produce tuberculosis, YET
unfortunately what is considered a
a cold may be in reality the frs
symptoms of the white plague.
The causes of colds are multiforn
and not entirely understood. In ever!
case, however, they are dependent up
on the growth and activity of living
germs which are always receives
from other people. 1t is true, that al
most everybody harbors disease or
ganisms in the mouth and nose, AM
that these under favorable cond1tlon
will produce cold in their host. Blu
these germs in every case were re
ceived from some other person. L
other words, colds are infections.
used to be thought that sitting in
draft or a prolonged stay in tn
swimming pool would produce
cold. This is erroneous, but the chill
ing Of the body which the draft Pre-
duces and the weakening of the vita
forces caused by too long swim
lower the powers of resistance an
permit germs which have hithert
been harmless to their host, to pre-
duce their disastrous effects.
It is not necessary to describe
cold Everybody is familiar with
in all its variations, from the simpl

on the subject of subteranean water
supply dispelling some old falacies
and showing a thorough grasp of the
subject; he also described the system
and methods of the Lane-BohleI
Company showing photographs of
wells made by the company and
sample of screen used by them. Many
questions were asked by members of
the council and answered by Mr.. Har-
mon, the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. The concensus of opinion
seemed to be that 100000 gallons of
water per day would be ample to sup
ply the needs of Wauseon. The cost
of running the wells under the pro-
posed system would be about 20 per-
cent. of the present cost. 1t seemed
very probable that had it not been for
the law which requires advertising for
bids on a work of this magnitude, that
the council would have been glad to
have closed contract with Mr.. Har-
mon in accord with the proposal made
/ A resolution was introduced and
passed instructing the Trustees OF
Public Affairs to prepare with the
assistance of their engineer, Mr.
Sherman specifications and estimates
of costs together with bid blanks fol
the development of a bountiful sup
ply of pure and wholesome water fol

quest them to report to the council al

The legal formalities will be ex.
pedited as much as possible and the
matter of Wauseon's obtaining a real
ly adequate supply of good water by
the latter part of next Summer seem:
to be very probable. The fact thai
the council will not be held for any
thing unless the amount of water con
tracted for is produced appeals strong
ly to the citizens of Wauseon.
