CITY LEGISLATORS
Receive Petition For East
Elm Street improvement New
Fire Truck Arrives Satisfactory
Test-Will Be Accepted After In
spectiOn By State Fire Underwriters
Engineer.

All members of the council were in
their places last Monday evening and
good sized crowd of spectators or
petitioners were also present.
A petition from lot owners on East
Elm street asking for the improve
ment of the East end of that street
by paving was presented, after con-
sIderatlon the matter was referred to
the street and sewer committees for
investigation and report.
Petition to lease a building site for
fish market on the railroad park
corner Of Depot and Fulton streets
east of the band stand; petitioner Of
fered to pay $10O for lease of land
for period of five years and agree
ing to erect neat and suitable build
ing under the direction of the coun-
Gil. A motion to grant the petition
was lost.
Sidewalks in various parts of town
were up before the council and orders
and assignments made concerning re-
pairs and improvements.
The representatives of the Sea-
grave Company who brought the new
Motor Fire truck for the Wauseon
Fire Department last Thursday were
present. The truck was tried out
Monday afternoon and proved to ex-
ceed the specifications as to capacity
and power; it gives splendid satisfac-
ton to the firemen and members of
the council; but the council cannot ac-
cept it until it has been passed upon
by the State Insurance, Department,
whose engineer will make the require
ed test on Friday Of this week. The
truck is splendid piece of mechanism
and it is putting it mildly to say that
! Wauseon is as well or better equip
ped with fire fighting apparatus as
any town of like size and population
in the state.
Chief Overmeyer asked to have
the doorway of the Fire Department
| Station widened in order to make in
gress and egress for the new truck
safer and easier, the matter was re-
ferred to the building committee. A
representative of the Seagrave Com
pany will remain in Wauseon to in
struct members of the Fire Depart
ment in the management and use Of
the truck.
The council reverted to sidewalks
again when one Of the councilmen re-
ported complaints as to the condition
of sidewalks at the Wabash Railway
Station on North Fulton street anc
another matter was added to the bur
den resting upon the shoulders of the
sidewalk committee
The Mayor called attention to th'
deep ditch on either side of the New
York Central tracks on Beech ant
Birch streets between Fulton ant
Franklin streets. Parts Of these ditch
es have been filled and sodded owe
and the appearance of this section O
the town will be improved fifty pc
cent. when these unsightly trenche
are all filled up and nicely sodde,
over. The Mayor instructed tn
Street Commissioner to place all tn
. ashes and cinders at his disposal il
these places also all street sweeping
for top soil, and to direct any citi
zens who had ashes, cinders or dir
to dispose of to deposit OF in thes
bitches. If every one who can, will co
operate, these holes will soon be fill
ed up.
After passing the usual claim or
dinance council adjourned.

COURT AND JURY
April Term of Common Pleas Court
of Fulton County Opened Monday
Grand Jury in Session One Day
Orders of Court in Divorce Cases.

The April term of common pleas
court opened with the assembling of
the grand jury last Monday morning.
The jury remained in session one day
and during that time examined eigh-
teen witnesses in thirteen cases; three
cases were ignored and ten indict-
ments returned.
Two of the persons indicted are now
confined in the county Jail, Harmon
Baker against whom the jury found
seven indictments for rape and VIM.
Brandt indicted for non-support.
The jury inspected the county Jail
and reported that Sheriff and Mrs.
Boone were conducting the institution
in accordance with the rules provided
by law and the orders of court, keep
ing it in a clean and sanitary condi-
ton.
Recommendations made concerning
the jail and sheriffs residence were
that the kitchen floor be covered with
linoleum, the parlor repapered, the
Juvenile room repaired by plaster and
fixing the door; that the roof be re-
paired in places where it leaks, win
dows on the cupulo repaired and the
cellar steps on the west side fixed.
Last Saturday was a busy day for
the court in the matter of divorces;
while Fulton cannot quite compete
with Cuyahoga which has a record of
292 divorces granted during the
month Of March, yet, when the pro-
portion of population is considered it
is not very far behind.
There were just seven cases affect
ing the marital relation before Judge
Wolf Saturday: Ida Nash VS. Emery
A. Nash; defendant ordered to pay
plaintiff $1,000 as alimony and deliver
to her certain personal property. Find

Safe Medicine For Children

rs It safe?" is the first question to
be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has long been a favor
ite with mothers of young children as
it contains no opium or other narcotic,
and may be given to a child as con-
fidently as to an adult. 1t is pleasant
to take, too, which is of great i'm
portance when a medicine must be
given to young children. This remedy
is most effectual in relieving coughs

 Until recent years the general shape and conformation of a layer was con- sidered of special value in determin- ing the probable production of the bird. Even at the present time there are quite a number of breeders who hold that these external character high producing hens. According to the standard that has been devised for this selection, the ideal bird must be wedged or V-shaped when viewed from the top, side and rear. From the top view the back should form the wide end of the V; the side view should show the wide end at the rear; ana the rear view the same as the side. When a bird conforms to this V-shaped type the supposition Is that the ab- dominal regions. where the organs of reproduction are located, are we'll de- veloped, thus making possible high production.
 Other points of importance in se- lecting by conformation and type are, first length of body. In the ideal bird the body should be long so that 1t shows heavy development In the rear. Second. large comb and wattles of bright red color; third. tail carried high rather than low; fourth, head of medium size with short peaks; fifth. legs short, strong and well spread; and. sixth. size. which means that the birds must be well up to the size and weight of the breed which they repre- sent.
 While tho results of numerous in- vestigations have proven with more or less certainty that a hen may con- form to the above requirements and
