Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-11-30

Well for US all to remember that
the Presidents Proclamation calls for
the giving of thanks for the things
we have rather than the finding of
fault because we haven't all the
things we would like to have, or be-
cause all conditions are not as we
would like to have them.
We all realize that there are plenty
of things for which human nature
could hardly be asked to be thank
ful: None of US are thankful for the
tribe of people calling themselves
Americans who are responsible for
the holding up and spoilage of vast
quantities of food supplies for the
purpose of making more money for
themselves, while thousands of men
women and children are actually
starving. We are not thankful that
any of this stripe are among our cit
izenship. There are plenty of condi-
tions with which none of US can hard
ly be expected to be pleased or thank
full; but on the other hand, there
are many things for which the Amer
| lean citizens in Fulton county have
abundant reason to be thankful
1t is for US as individuals to deter
mine the things for which we are
personally thankful, but there are
many other reasons for thankfulness
which we have in common-Fol

FROM FRANCE
Experiences of Wauseon Boy With The COlOrs in
France-Joe Domitio Keeps His Sense of HumOr
in the Midst of Strenuous Service

agine that would be rather cold work,
as / well know. Last Saturday even
ing we saw movies of the capital of
the U. S., and it sure was like old
times to see the old town we spent
our first months of service in. We
sure did enjoy it. On Saturday night
the French captured large Zeppelin
and destroyed three others quite near
here, and Sunday a bunch went out to
see it. These were large ones, about
800 feet long. They took a bunch of
officers with it. This machine was
equipped with four 12-cylinder mo-
tors and sure was a big one.
We have been having some rather
nice weather lately, although the
nights are quite cold, and so are the
mornings when we crawl out from
between the blankets. We have been
getting a lot of sleep, but you never
feel ready to get up mornings. We
have to go to the office at $3.50, and
then | have to make motorcycle
trip uptown to get communications
from the French officers there. Or
the whole this is much better thar

THE KHAKI AND BLUE
Items of Interest Concerning The Rank and File of
Old Glorys Defenders The Boys in Camp

Not all expectations are realized,
and there are many things come to
pass that are totally unexpected. That
is just as true regarding the men who
are wearing the uniform of the
United States Army and Navy as it
is everywhere else in human affairs.
Many of the boys who thought that
there was a good chance for a fur
Tough and a few days home with the
folks around Thanksgiving time are
doomed to disappointment, while
others who were not expecting very
much will have some pleasant sur
prises.
Serg't R. J. Bissonnette, we under
stand, will not get furlough in time
to eat Thanksgiving dinner with the
home folks, and we were rather disap-
pointed, because we like to see "Bob''
as soldier; it makes you feel that
the country has some good, solid de-
tenders; on the other hand, we were
glad to see Paud Hayes on the streets
this week. He was home from Fri
day to Tuesday, looking fine; has
gained 18 pounds since he went to
Camp Sherman, and every inch sol
dier.
DR.. W. E. Park, who formerly pre-
sided over the dental offices where
Doctor Leininger now repeats the ole
joke that ''it won't hurt-much," was

THE Explosives LAW

The United States Congress, before
its adjournment last fall, passed a
bill which became a law Nov. Is,
1917.

UNCLE SAM WILL NOT
SEIZE HOME FOOD

False rumors have been circulated
that the government will make an in
ventory of all food products, particu-
larly canned and preserved home
foods, and then confscate them for
distribution. "The government has no
intention whatever of doing such a
thing" the U. S. Food Administra-
ton asserts.
"On the contrary, both the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Food Ad-
ministration strongly urged house,
wives to can and preserve all the sur
plus fruits and vegetables in order
that the households themselves may
have a cheap and plentiful supply of
food"

THE HOUSEWIVES THOUGHTS
ON CONSERVATION

There are housewives who are raving,
There are housewives who are saving;
There are housewives who, though
stinted,
Are as happy as the morn.
There are housewives, and they're
many,
Who are conserving every penny;
But the real submissive housewife
Well, she's never yet been born.
There are days that must be meat
less,
There are pieless days and wheatless,
But tobacco for the men folks
Must be purchased every day.
They must have it for the toothache,
For their badness or their backache,
And dozen other ailments
It's been known to drive away.
There are days that must be fruitless;
She has days that must be soupless;
For the coal she needs to make it
Might be wasted up the flue.
She has learned of observation
Men believe in conservation;
That where they are met together
There the air with smoke is blue.
There are sleepless nights for moth
ers;
There are sinful nights for others,
Where the liquor they have taken
Drives all sense of shame away.
With all decency they parted,
When the downward way they started
Yet men argue, "All that's needed
Is wheatless, meatless day."
Yes, she heeds the man called Hoover,
For his plea does greatly move her,
But she wonders and she wonders
And she wonders once again,
Why he doesn't help the nation
With a mighty proclamation
For a chewless and a smokeless
And a. boozeless day for men.

As an American transport carry
ing U. S. Marines to Europe, was
leaving port, somewhere, sometime,
the marine bugler aboard sounded
"taps," which is the military way of
saying "good night" Now the COM
manding officer of the transport
didn't think it was "good night" for
his packet, and saw no humor in the
Marine bugler's premature surrender
to the "tin lizzies of the sea-" Nor
could the young sea-soldier see the
point when he was given "three days
bread and water" to ponder over his
wheeze. It's serious business to joke
at sea in times like these, and after
his enforced "Hooverizing" the Ma
rine bugler is convinced that that is
so.

by the Express companies to the very
large prospective increase both in the
number, amount and weight of Christ
mas packages to be transported by the
railroads this season.
There are more men away from
home and family, under arms, in the
military and naval service in this
county than ever before in our his
tory, all of whom will probably re-
ceive Christmas parcels ranging from
one to 20 pounds in weight, which
will be in addition to the large vol
ume ordinarily handled during this
period To take care of this traffic
is going to require every available
baggage and express car, as well as
some high-class refrigerator and
other special cars of this character.
1t is suggested, and urged, that ev-
cry means of publicity be used to in
duce the public to ship their Christ
mas packages a week or 10 days ear
lier than usual in order that they may
be sure to reach their destination be-
fore the holiday, and thereby avoid

With the exception of their chief,

charged with vagrancy had their
cases continued for one week with
the understanding that they leave

had paid fine of $25 for violating

Treachery in U. S.
Says Berlin News
Agency on Plot

London, March 3.-Foreign Secre-
tary Zimmermann's instructions to the
German minister to Mexico, as puD-
lished in the United States are admit
ted in Berlin to have been correctly
quoted, according to dispatch 10
Reuters from the German capital by
way Of Amsterdam.
The dispatch quotes the following
telegram received in Amsterdam from
Berlin on Friday and which apparent
ly was sent by the Wolff bureau, the
semi-official German news agency:
'"The American press contains re-
ports about instructions from the min
istry Of foreign affairs to the German
minister in Mexico City, in the event
that Germany, after the proclamation
of unrestricted submarine warfare fall
ed to keep the United States neutral.
These reports are based on the follow
ing facts:
"After the decision had been taken
to begin unrestricted submarine war
fare on Feb. 1 we had to reckon, In
view of the previous attitude of the
American government. with the pos
of conflict with the United
States That this calculation was
right is proved by the fact that the
American government severed diplo-
matte relations with Germany soon
after the proclamation Of a barred
zone and asked other neutra1s to fol-
low her example.
anticipating these possibilities, 1t
was not only the right but also the
duty Of our government to take pre-
cautions in time-in the event OF
military conflict with the United
States-in order to balance, il possi-

Mexico, therefore, was instructed in
