On the other hand, the Fort would
be benefited by having the direct
active support of large, enthusiastic
organization, which would be especial
ly effective in securing substantial ap-
preparations.
| am satisfied, moreover, that the
persons who signed the Shipley pc
tition would have refused to sign it if
they had understood all the circum-
stances, and if they had known that on
Thursday, November LIST, two days be-
fore this petition was started the Fort
Meigs Commission passed a resolution
to terminate Shipley's lease of the
Fort by reason of the complaints of
th. Maumee Valley Pioneer and His
torical Association and of substantial
citizens and church people, and par
ticularly because Shipley had failed to
keep the Fort and the grounds and en-
banltment connected Herewith free
from weeds, etc. The complaint of the
Association was partly due, no doubt,
70 the fact that they had to pay Ship
ley $l46.00 for cleaning up the Fort
for the great celebration held Septem-
ber 18th, although they knew he was
required to perform this duty under
his lease. Under these conditions, a
majority of the Fort Meigs Commits
sion felt that the further retention of
Shipley as caretaker would subject
public.
With this explanation l trust that
those who have through error signed
this petition will. withdraw their
names and that those to whom this
petition may yet be presented may act
in the light of the facts here given.

RHEUMATISM IS TORTURE.
AS Many Perrysburg Reader Knows
Only Too Well.

Many pains that pass as rheumatism
are really due to weak kidneys-to the
failure of the kidneys to drive off uric
acid thoroughly. When you suffer achy
bad joints, backache, too, dizziness and
some kidney and bladder disturbances,
get Doan's Kidney Pills, the medicine
that is publicly recommended by over
100000 people in many different lands.
Doan's Kidney Pills help weak kidneys
to drive out uric acid, which is often
the cause of the backache, rheumatism
and lumbago. Perrysburg people have
learned their worth. Read this Perrys-
burg residents experience.
Mrs. Mary Schroeder, Sixth St.,
says: For eight years / had been
troubled with rheumatic pains at
different times. When / have had these
attacks my limbs have been so sore |
could hardly stand it, and they panied
me so | couldn't sleep either Now
when | feel one of those attacks com
ing on | use Doan's Kidney Pills right
away. Doan's have never failed to help
when other medicines have failed and
would not be without them for any
thing"
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's

ANSWERS TO NATIONS CALL

Herbert Hoover having desig-
mated the international Live Stock
Exposition a Food Training
Camp" by this act drafted this
institution into the service of this
country. "More meat" is the APP
peal of the food administrator. To
win the war, beef and pork (espe-
cially the latter) will be necessary.
There is a shortage of meat and
fats. For years this deficiency has
been developing. During that
period the international Live
Stock Exposition has acted as a
conserving agency, educating the
country along lines of economical
production; otherwise supply CON
ditions in this emergency would
have been even less favorable.
This season great drive for i'm
mediate increase in production
will be made. The moment is op-
perfume and conditions ripe.
The international Live Stock
Exposition, which will be held
during the first week in December,
will this year emphasize it's mis-
sion. The problem of the moment
is more food and in no other way
can the lesson be more convincing
ly taught.
