Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-08-03

Last week the Tribune announced
that the membership of Fulton Chap
ter American Red Cross had reached
548, this week we publish the names
of 155 additional members which
brings the total membership up to 703.
This is exclusive of members of the
various branches. Officials of the
County Chapter are far from being sat
isfied with this membership and be-
lieve that the total should reach 15c%
As matter of fact there are ma
people in Wauseon and vicinity to
whom the vital Importance and nee
essity of the Red Cross work has not
come home. If every one could realize
that the horror of war is upon US; not
possibility but an actuality. Some
Of our boys, thousands of them are
now in Europe more are going con-
tinually, censorship Of the press pre-
vents the general news of their going
from being disseminated among the
American people this is believed to be
necessary in order to safe guard troops
in transportation. But they are 60
ing and will continue to go, the best
and the bravest of our own American
boys. Don't think for moment that
its holiday excursion, don't think
for a moment that the enemies shot
and shell, poison gas and liquid fire,
inhuman treatment and general fiend-
| ishness will never touch an American
soldier, for it will; some of them will
be killed, some of them will be maim-
ed and mangled and the ministrations
of the Red Cross may decide for many
of them life or death, restoration to
home and dear ones, or absence for
ever; years of usefulness and happy
activity of years of miserable exis-
tence of pain and suffering for them
and a continual burden upon their
dear ones and society. The Red Cross
cannot minister unless it has the mon
ey to take it to the place where it
can minister and the equipment with
which to minister. Every dollar helps
There are not very many people
who can not by making some personal
sacrifice of comfort or luxury give
the one dollar required for member
ship and even more.
Another consideration is just this
If our boys and their Allies cannot
subdue and conquer the enemy in Eu-
rope that same enemy will follow out
its avowed program of carrying its
campaign of conquest into this coun-
try. This is not wild imagination. il
is grim possibility. One of the fac
tors that will keep it from coming to
pass is the work of the Red Cross ir
keeping the men who are defending
our rights and liberties on European
soil to day. fit and able and efficient
Think of these things if you have
not as yet become member of the ReC
Cross and see if your own persona

the Importance of this cause. I
doesn't make any difference whether
you "believe in War" or not, war exists

agency through which these condition.
may be met and taken care of.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN
 FIELDS AROUND ST. LOU

ST. LOUIS, May T. -- In the great farming districts in southern Illinois and eastern Missouri and Arkansas to- day they are preparing to contribute their share in filling Uncle Sam's mar ket basket. In practically every sec ton around St. Louis there Is in- creased acreage. Women md child, ren are working in the fields to help relieve the labor shortage.
 In the larger cities backyards usual ly given over to flower cultivation, this year will yield lettuce, cabbage, radishes and other truck. This back yard gardening, stimulated through newspaper and magazine campaigns, has released many acres of farm lands that have been previously given over to truck garden cultivation. The home chicken raising industry also has been installed in many residence lots, In the farming regions an increase in poultry raising was also noticeable.

COL. ROOSEVELT ENDORSES
 1.-THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE"

Letter from ex-President Roosevelt to J. Stuart Blackton, author of "The Battle Cry of Peace," which will be shown tonight at the Empress theatre at sharp, admission 50 cents: My Dear MT. Blackton:
 l wish you all success in your en- terprise. Every man worth being called a man should realize that if he has the right to vote, then it is his duty to bear arms. We Americans claim to be a nation of freedom. Freemen do their own fighting. They do not hire other people to do their fighting for them; and if they are not fit and willing to do their own fight, ing they are unfit to be freemen. The duty of military service should be as widespread as the right to vote Sin cerely yours,

SALESMEN LEND A HAND
 IN THE NORTHWEST

MINNEAPOLIS, May T. = Three thousand salesmen are preaching big ger crops to the farmers of the North west today. Resolved to take every possible step to spur the thousands of farmers in the vast Northwest to pro- duce the maximum crop, all salesmen with headquarters in Minneapolis are talking big acreage and gigger crops everywhere they go. Many deal di- rectly with farmers and will carry the call of agricultural mobilization direct to the soil
 Wholesale firms are behind this move and are urging their country trade to work fer bigger crops. Rail- roads, through every agency. are ad- vertising the need of increased pro duction. Posters will be displayed on fences. barns and sign posts through out the Northwest, calling on farmers to work for larger crops.

ACQUITTED IF MURDER
 BY JURY
(By Associated Pressl

SEATTLE, May 2. Thomas Tracey, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World, was acquitted of the charge of murdering Jefferson Beard in pitched battle at Everett on November last, after the jury had been out all night. The prosecu- tion made a hard fight for conviction, cOntending that the Industrial Work CTS to the number of 260 went from Seattle to Everett on the steamer Vernon, with the avowed purpose of breaking the city ordinanee;" "that the sheriff and 15O citizen deputies went to the dock to turn the boat back; that while the sheriff was par leying with the leaders on the boat the firing was begun from the boat, and the deputies returned the fire.o
 Counsel for the defense held that both Beard and Curtiss were killed by cross-fire from men on a dock be- yond the Verona, whose bullets swept the steamers deck and also the dock full of deputies; that street speakers in Everett were severely beaten by vigilantes; that Al men were taken from Everett on October 30, and beat en so severely that half their num- Der received treatment at the Seattle city hospital; that the Verona expedi- tion was intended to assert the con- stitutional right of free speech.

BELGIUM RELIEF DANCE THIS
 WEEK

The Belgian relief committee met at the home of Mrs. W. w. Council this afternoon and organized by the cleo ton of the following temporary off cers: President, Mrs. w. w. Coun- cil; secretary, Mrs. A. Cartwright; i; treasurer, Mrs. Caleb Corser. A dance was decided upon as a means for the raising of money for this committee, full particulars of which will be an- Inounced in tomOrrow's paper. It is the intention to give this affair the latter part of the week and the pub lis will be called upon to donate what ever services are necessary for the success of the dance. Any ladies who are willing to contribute towards the refreshments of the evening will please phone Mrs. J. V. Lydick, chair man of htat committee, No. S6.
 Other towns are engaged in this laudable work of doing their bit to relieve the distress of the people of stricken Belgium, and that the eff forts of the Cordova ladies will meet with a generous response there is no doubt. The town should turn out en masse and it's people thus show their sympathy and friendship towards the smallest and most poverty stricken nation among our allies in the great European war.

WEATHER MAN IS AGAIN
 DIsGRAclNG HIMSELF.

The snowstorm of Saturday night was kind of Hindenburg backfire of old winter in his retreat. There was no consideration of the fact that it was full time for the baseball play CTS to begin practice, for the mated birds to build their nests. for the songs of spring to be chanted.
 Again, old Winter seemed to forget that all his title to this region is but a squatter's title, and that in May he has no hold on us that would have any standing in any court. About three inches of the beautiful" fell during the night, but Old Sol was quickly on the job Sunday morning, as gentle reminder that winter had outlawed it's welcome hereabouts until the long dark days again visit us in the fall.
