Mawer Says Water Meter Is
Acting Up; Will Stop
Leaking Hydrants
WILL RAISE CALHOUN
STREET SIDEWALKS
Plans For Remodeling Arm
ory Building To Be Start
ed By Service Dept.

The u. S. government Is not the only
body that can start leak" investiga-
ton, it seems, and to prove that asser-
tion the city council at a special ses-
sion Wednesday night put the wheels
in motion for leak investigation of
it's own. Councilman Mawer is respon-
sible for this inquiry, bringing it about
when he arose in the meeting and an
nounced that the first three months
following the installation of water
meter in the Mawer residence the
monthly rent was 81, the next three
months the councilman paid 81 cents
the month and this last month, he
lamented, he had been forced to lay
down $4.05 for the water privilege.
what | want to know is why is it?"
said Mr.. Mawer. There is tireplug
on the next corner that has been leak
ing and maybe my meter is registering
that. Then there are two hydrants in
the neighborhood that leak, maybe I'm
paying that, but if | am | want to
know it and | move that the superin-
tendent of the city waterworks be in
structed to investigate these leaks and
stop them"
Mr.. Mawer's motion was seconded
and passed.
The special meeting Wednesday
night was held owing to the fact that
through the absence of both the presi-
dent and vice president of the council
no business could be transacted last
Monday night. AT the special meet
ing little business was brought before
the council other than the request for
transfer of funds so that work could
be started on a retaining wall around
the new land recently added to Mound
View cemetery in order that this land
could be improved and laid out in lots.
This transfer was authorized and work
will be started this fall on this i'm
provement.
A motion by Councilman Brentlin-
ger to instruct the service department
to prepare plans for the remodeling
/ of the city building so that it Will be
suitable for an engine house and city
offices was passed.
Councilman Pfouts, chairman OF the
: committee appointed to investigate
the cost and ACCESSIBILITY of installing
traffic signals at the intersections ol
4. To-
Main street with Vine and Gambler
streets and West High and Sandusky
streets, reported that the committee
believes these signals would prove
highly beneficial in solving traffic trou
bles, but that the probable cost Woult
be slightly in excess Of 500 and the
money is not at present available.

Experience the Best Teacher

1t is generally admitted that expert
ence is the best teacher, but should we
not make use of the experience of 9th
ers as we'll as our own? The expert
ence of thousand persons is more to
be depended upon than that of one
individual. Many thousands of persons
have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy for coughs and colds with the best
results, which shows it to be a thor
oughly reliable preparation for those
diseases. Try it, 1t is prompt and

At the last weekly meet ing, having no very important busi- ness, we all declared war on water melon, contesting for a second and third piece by having the most num- Der of seeds in the first piece. Last Saturday our Scoutmaster was tied in a square knot, spliced ,or rather mar ried. The troop was invited to the wedding and appeared in full uniform, making very good showing. They were in charge of the patrol and as- sistant patrol leaders of the Flying Eagle patrol. These held the boys in check as they wanted to do their little the enormous price of paper the two leaders thought they would be economical" Fourth of July a por- tion of the troop spent the day in their potato patch in Hart's lot. We all pitched in like good fellows and at o'clock we had something to show for our hard days work. Man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow and so shall Scouts be prepared to harvest what they sow. We would like to say with all Scouts and Scout masters, who will certainly join in with us, that we thank those who were responsible for the cultivating done for us which was such a great lift, for the boys pitched in with de-

About the prizes for the best plot, our boys believe we are in line for one of them and they certainly are trying to do "their bit. to win one of them At this oppor- tunity we ask all our parents to visit our gardens so they may see and be proud of their boys.

Secretary Lane Speaks of Wars
 Horrors at Chautauqua

Chatauqua, N. Y, July 6.-In a special message to the Speakers Training Camp for Patriotic Educa- ton, Secretary of the Interior Lane yesterday afternoon said:
 Those gentlemen of the Middle Ages who poured burning lead from besieged walls upon their enemies were amateurs. We are scientists. We sweep a field of ten thousand young college students with poisoned gas. We spray with burning liquid those who come near us and from a mile in the air let fall bombs on babies in are tortured. not a la Iroquise, but la Junker. The captured civilian is enslaved; not sold, simply starved. Thus does German science make war. ToVbe soldier now is to summon the skill and spirit of a scientists hell and set 1t at work without curb, or con- science, or humanity.
 What has caused this ring of fire and hatred and brutality to run around this smiling world? There is to make subject the world.
 "The United States would not sur- render to Germany what it had fought England to win--our rights upon the sea. The United States would not stand aide with tndiffer- ence until the world had been strangled into submission. The great republics of the world would have gone down. and we would stand in isolated terror. To meet this invasion of our rights we have gone abroad where the war is being fought-to keep it from being fought where the stubborn, short-sighted George III. fought his with us, in New York, New Jersey and Virginia. The power that threatens us is in Europe, and there we have gone to meet it with Persh- ing and with Sims

be republic or a constitutional mon- archy, democracy is enthroned in the country where social equality instead of feudal aristocracy prevails; where ones real merits count more than rank or family pedigree; where every individual has the right to the full enjoyment of life, liberty, and the Tursuit of happiness and is no slave of a dominant caste; where right rules over might and militarism is not the controlling force; in short, where justice, liberty, equality, and humanity are made the basic princi- ples of the state.
 Tn this sense, the present-day Ja- pan is as much democracy as the United States, England, France, Italy and the newly-born democracy of Russia. Japan reveres her sovereign, the Mikado. for he personifies the sancity of law, order, and discipline. Japan has a strong centralized gov- ernment and an efficient army and navy. Do these elements, however. constitute an utocracy? Thousond times, no. Are they not the essen tials of success, especially in time of war, in every democracy? I have made this digression. for much ink has been split to put Japan in the ranks of autocracy and thus iso- late her from her allies or cool their ardor toward her.
 America and Japan cherish the same ideals, and it is only befitting for them to join hands and work with all the energy and resources they have at command for the successful conclusion of the tremendous issue they are now facing"
