SUNDAY AUTO CRASH
Dodge Car and Studebaker Six Con-
test Right of Way-BOth Machines
Put In The Ditch-NO One Hurt But
the Autos.

Last Sundays local auto accident
while something of a thriller in it's
way was fortunately not productive of
loss of life or limb and in so far as
casualties were concerned resulted in
one scratch on the arm of one young
lady. The accident occurred on the
State road two and one half miles
west of Copeland's corner, Sunday af-
ternoon. Otto Gaiman of Swanton
driving a Studebaker Six containing
eight passengers was going South;
Mr.. B. Stuller of Fort Wayne driving
a Dodge car containing one other per
son beside himself was going West.
Both cars reached the intersection of
the State road and the North and
South road at one and the same time.
The Dodge "got in the first blow"
striking the Studebaker Six on the
front wheel and turning that machine
completely over; the Dodge was swung
to the South by the impact of the
collision and jumped off the end of the
bridge into ditch carrying the guard
rail with it. AS luck would have it
David Morningstar happened along
that way just as the foregoing "round"
was transpiring and out of virtue of
his calling acted as referee; he called
''time" declared the match a draw
and by mutual consent of the prin-
cipals took charge of the wreckage.
The damage to the cars amounts to
about $175.00 for each car so neither
one can claim that he took ''first mon
ey." Mr.. Morningstar brought the
Gaiman party to town, Mr.. Stuller
and his eompanion took train and
continued their journey to the West.
One young lady in the Gaiman party
sustained scratch on her arm from
broken glass hardly serious enough to
be called an injury.
1t was one of these so called ''for-
tnate" accidents, as the Scotch would
say it might have been worse, and
we repeat, much worse; it furnishes
another object lesson in the need of
drivers keeping their autos under full
control when approaching highway
or street intersections.

ed over to the Red Cross Chapter.

honor of.the 142 boys who will repre-
sent Fulton and uphold her honor
and glory in the National Army, OF
that part of it which is to BE modified

large size safety pins, one large blan-
ket pin for each housewife, bachelor
buttons, white and khaki bone but
tons size "a, white and khaki colored
thread No. 30. Please send as many
of these articles as you can to Red
Cross headquarters by Saturday.
Mrs. Martin who is national in
-uctor of Red Cross work was here
0nday and pronounced the work of
this Chapter perfect. She could not
say enough in commentator and
thought the garments and knitting
would not need to pass through the
Cleveland office unless it was for con-
venience of packing.
The knitters have accomplished a
wonderful lot of work since they have
commenced. Mrs Blair superintends
taiSs department. and has turned into
headquarters fifty pairs of soens

afternoon Of August 28th. The Hon.
Frank L. Mulholland, of Toledo, will
deliver the address of the day. Ad-
dresses of prominent citizens of the
county will also be given. At six
o'clock the citizens of Wauseon will
give Fulton County's quota to the

noon a line of march will be formed
in which these soldiers will take part.
In addition to this, entertainment will
be provided for during the afternoon

This should be a day of patriotism
and devotion. 1t should be of so
much magnitude and Importance that
no one class of people or one locality
can properly observe it. A union of
all people from every section of the
county is required to make it the day
that it should be. A day of honor
and reverence to our Country and its
Brave Defenders.
This day will not be set apart alone
for those who are to leave for the
training camp in the days that are
to follow, but is to be big enough to
do honor to the brave sons of the
country who have enlisted and who are
now doing duty in the Army and Navy.
Such of those who can be brought
home will be here to greet you.
The people Of county are request
ed to assemble in Wauseon and join in
paying to these soldiers of ours this
tribute of respect.
The Committee.

Many years ago or thereabouts,
as Mr.. Edward W. Pickard, who pre-
pares the Tribunes weekly news re-
view, each week says, he was born
at Madison. Wis, and twenty-one
years later he was graduated from the
University of Illinois. A young man
marked with scholarships, fraternity
pins and a vast curiosity regarding
he world he hastened to Chicago and
found a Job as cub reporter on the
morning news. Among other cubs
we're George AIDE, George Barr Nc
Cutcheon and others.
In about twelve months Pickahd
mad won himself a permanent place
on the staff of the News, whereafter
ward he made a name as the best re-
.orter in town. Within a few years
he went to the staff of the Evening
Post as assistant city editor, and sue
cessively was telegraph editor and
city editor there.
Travelling and magazine writing oc-
cupied him for a number of years
one Spring Summer and Autumn Mr..
Pickard bicycled his way through the
.ural sections of England and France
He has navigated the Suez canal and
the broad waters laying to the east
ward. He has stirred the dust travel
ing through the Australian bush coun-
| try and admired the sturdy bronze
| folks of Ceylon. In the FIJI islands
he interviewed reformed canibals and
in Samona he spent several months
watching the development of war that
led to the partition of those islands
| He came into immediate contact with
the ancient royal line of native Haw-
aiians while studying political and ra-
cial history of that people. And the
waterfront of SanFrancisco knows him
for he used to wander about there en-
ticing romantic stories from sailors
of the far South Seas.
Do you remember President Castro
of Venezuela, who kicked up a muddle
in South America several years age
and almost caused a war between the
United States and Germany? We'll
Pickard knows Castro and was with
him for several years when the poll
tical situation was hottest. But Mr.
Pickard was not to blame for the
politics. He was simply down there
trying to learn what it was all about
for the Saturday Evening Post, and
spent quite little time asking Senor
Castro uncomfortable questions.
1t is probable that the Tribune's
author of the Weekly News Review
has been seen in every deep-watel
port in the Caribbean sea-that part
of the Atlantic stretching eastward
from the Gulf of Mexico. He has
tramped over the Isthmus of Panams
and has written things about thai
historic country. Of course he know:
the United States, from one end o1
the country to the other, and Canada
and Mexico too. In short, he is {
world traveller, one who has visited
all continents and most nations anc
who knows the characteristics OF th'
various races of men,
Mr. Pickard has an extensive pri
vate library and owns some old anC
rare books. Especially well select
ed in his section covering history ant
politics, for he has long been clos
student of world tendencies in gov
ernment; prophet of the clash betweel
dynasties and democracies, forecast
er of motives and policies in the re
lations of nations.

COTTON BUYING

NEW YORK, May 2s.-Bullish priv
ate acreage and condition figure COM
bined with a favorable view of the
mornings news from Russia and Italy,
encouraged a renewal of the buying
movement in cotton today.
AS it was a holiday in Liverpool,

July selling up to 22177 and October
to 2136 during the early trading or
about IA to Fl points net higher. 3

ton at 1871 while another made the
condition I'll and the acreage per
cent. smaller. The official condition
last year was IT'S.
