TO The C0LORS
Ivan Sechrist, Science Teacher in
Wauseon High School, Called From
Class Room to Military Service =
Closing the Ranks in the School
Brigade.

Last Friday Mr.. Ivan Sechrist, who
has served with credit to himself and
to the complete satisfaction of the
Board of Education and the Wauseon
public generally as teacher of science
in the Wauseon High school, and has
taken charge of high school athletics
to the delight of the boys of the
school, received official notice to re-
port for induction into the military
service at Camp Sherman, with the
contingent from Dayton.
Friday afternoon, after the close of
school, teachers and pupils gathered
in the High School auditorium to bid
MIR. Sechrist an informal farewell. He
was presented with a wrist watch as
a token of the esteem in which he is
held among his associates on the High
School faculty.
Year before last-1915-16-Mr. Sc
christ was a member of the High
School faculty and gave good service
both in the class room and in the
field of athletics, where he proved his
special pride in the H. S. Basket Ball
team, which won many laurels for
itself and reflected credit upon their
leader. Last year Mr.. Sechrist en-
gagged in business, but was prevailed
upon to come back into the Wauseon
school again this year, waving the
opportunity of enlisting in some
branch of the government service for
which he was fitted, in order to serve
here as a teacher. The second draft
of registered men included his order
number, and consequently Wauseon
loses a good teacher and the military
service gains a capable and loyal man
ready to give himself in this time of
his country's need.
Only a little more than a month of
the school year remains and the High
School faculty has "closed ranks" di-
viding among themselves the work OF
Mr.. Sechrist, securing a teacher al
this time to take his place being i'm
practicable.
Mr.. Sims, the principal, will as
sumo the work in chemistry; his class
in commercial geography has beer
taken by Miss Pfrman. Mr.. Altstet-
ter relieves Miss Kenyon of classes
in history in order that she may taks
classes in biology while the classes
in physics will be conducted by Semi
ors Eden and Freeman Merillat.
i We have been fortunate, indeed, il
Wauseon in having had a splendi'
corps of teachers during this and pre-
ceding years; nor do we need to b.
pessimistic about the future, evel
though men teachers may becom
; more and more scarce Mr.. Altstette
has shown his ability as a superin
tendent and the women, who ar
. natural teachers, will take the place
of men in the class rooms until 9TH

VACATION THRIFT CONTEST

Governor Cox has given official in
dorsement to the Vacation Thrift
contest to be conducted among pub
lie and parochial school children of
Ohio between May l and September
10 under direction Of the Ohio War
Savings division of the Department
of Public Instruction. He calls upon
all schools to devote at least an hour
on May |, to conduct appropriate
Thrift Day" exercises, to which
parents should be invited.
To the boy or girl selling the larg-
est volume of War Savings and
Thrift stamps will be presented ST.
900 maturity value, in War Savings
stamps. There are 25 capital prizes,
winners of which will be brought to
Columbus to receive the prizes from
the hands of the governor.
Governor Cox's statement says in
part:
AS a satisfactory means of
launching and presenting the Vaca-
tion Thrift Stamp contest, it is ad-
visable that every school in the
state should devote at least an hour
on May 1 to a thorough considera-
ton of the contest plans and prep
arations for entering actively anc
intensively into the project. Al
that time, community exercises
should be conducted to which par
ents of the boy or girl pupils should
be invited, so that they may bt
adequately informed of the scope
of the Vacation Thrift contest.

Dear Mother and Father:
This is sure a beautiful spring
and the birds are chattering;
it makes me feel as if l were at
home. It sure puts the ginger in
US at the front. We have nothing
to fear with such days as we have
been having.
Papa wanted to know whether l
had been in any fighting. Well, you
know, an ambulance driver can't do
any hand fighting; only he has to
go places where there is fighting. Of
course, it is all dangerous, but there
is one place that is dangerous, espe-
cially for ambulances. There is a
road we have to go up that is in
sight of the Germans and they con-
tinually shell that piece of road, and
after we pass we count ourselves
lucky until the next time. l am
sending home a paper every week
named the "Stars and Stripes" that
will tell you more about the war than
l can write or than you'll read in
those papers at home. Jeff gave me
some "Blades," Republicans" and
"Tribunes" that he got from home.
l read few and looked over most
all of them - and just laughed.
Why, those papers don't tell you a
thing about the war, only those verses
about the Camp Sheridan troops who
all want to come across. Yes, they're
crazy now, but they will change their
mind about France before they get
through with this game; because it
has only started, and will probably
continue for while yet. 1 think the
old U. S. boys have surprised the
world for their liveliness and quick
ness. Not only the Boches have felt
our steadiness and quickness, but
the French show their jealousness fol-
our work. We don't wait for the
French, which I think they would
rather have US do.
How is baby brother? I suppose
he can talk pretty plain by now.
wish I could be there to see him.
Well, guess I will close for this
time. I hope this letter finds you al
well, as it left me.
Give my regards to the rest. Will
love to all,
Your son,
H. ]. GARRETT.

Extra Stars-The Campaign Still
In Progress.

Last Saturday afternoon meet
inx was held at the court house to
celebrate Fulton county's victory in
going "over the top" in subscriptions
TO the Third Liberty Loan. The
weather was not propitious, and con-
sequsntly not a large crowd gath
cred, but enough to fairly well fill
the court room. The Drum and Bu-
gle corps of the Wauseon Troop
American Boy Scouts were on duty
In spite of the nasty weather, and
the stirring martial music apprised
the people on the streets of the meet
ing.
7 Mr.. Sims was present and, in his
usual happy manner, opened the meet,
ing and aroused the enthusiasm and
patriotism of those present with his
singing.
Mr.. w. L. Crooks, government rep
resentative, gave an address in which
ne complimented the county chairman,
w. b. Harris, and the people of full
ton county on the splendid work that
has been done thus far in the cam
paign and the spirit of loyalty and
cooperation displayed. He presented
to Mr.. Harris for the county the Lib
erty Loan Honor Flag, announcing
that the subscriptions to date in the
county were more than $7S0,000, and
prophesying that the county would
over-subscribe its quota by at least
s200, 900 before the close of the cam
paign, May 4.
Mr.. Harris received the flag in be-
half Of the county and in well chosen
words expressed his appreciation OF
splendid work Of the subcommittee
and solicitors throughout the county
Mr.. Harris announced that all but two
districts had already won the honor
nag and that the other two were sure
TO reach their quota before the cam
paign closes. Two districts-Chester
field and Pike townships-have more
than doubled their quotas, thereb!
adding star to their Honor Flag
With the county flag, there are nov
IS Honor flags in the county, an,
Mr.. Harris has no doubt of there be
ing 20 flags in the county before Ma!
4th.
Announcement was made that tn
Presidents appointment Of Friday
April 26, as Liberty Day, will be OBJ
served in this county by a meeting
at the court house Friday afternoo

and the necessity for loyal co-opera
ton.
Ihe following Honor Roll and state
rnsnts were issued by County Chair
man Harris the first of the preser
week.
The star at the right of the sub
seriptions indicate those districts ths

dicate those whose subscriptions ar

THE REFORMED MENNoNITEs


The members of the Reformed
Mennonites church in Fulton and
Henry counties, in view of their re-
ligious belief, cannot conscientiously
buy bonds, the proceeds of which are
to be used for the purpose of making
war, even though that war may be
defensive war.
These people are not only law
abiding citizens, but are loyal to their
church, and consistent in the prac-
tice of those teachings.
The members of this church have
entered into an agreement with the
Liberty Loan committee, whereby
they will cooperate with the people
of this community for the benefit of
local conditions.
The agreement, which was signed
by the representatives of the church
and the representatives of the Lib
erty Loan committee, provides that
they will contribute for the relief of
the present conditions in a sum equal
to three per cent of their entire
wealth.
The committee entertains only the
highest eommendation for the MEM
bers of this church.. They have en-
tered into this agreement with a
spirit of real desire to be of service
in a manner which is consistent with
the teachings of their religion, anC
their response has been freely made
We bespeak for the Reformed
Mennonites the serious considera-
tion of every loyal American citizen
They have shown themselves to b,
worthy of our highest respect; and j
every other person not a member O
this church will show himself as will.

held parcels post sale last Thurs
day evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mat Skates, near the Harrison

RAINY DAYS IN CAMP
Quantico, Va, April IL, 1918.

My Dear Grandma:
We have had two days and nights
of continued rain and this, the third,
looks hazy and threatening. The
boys are getting impatient to be on
the range. Work is suspended on
DAYS like this. So many have con-
tracted colds by lying on the damp
firing lines that the doctor ordered US
to stay off. Troops are moving in
the vicinity of Washington and the
utmost is being done to help our
brothers in France.
We are now putting through an
other bunch from Philadelphia and
would have finished with them this
week had the weather permitted.
We (of the bunk house) Clipped
in today and bought a victrola and it
helps cheer the dreary days. Sunday
we went for a hike. A friend who
went through the "boot" camp in our
company IN 26) who is stationed at
League Island, and is here to shoot
for a record, looked me up-and we
had a fine ramble over the reserva-
tion. We found a place up in the
hills that was very picturesque; a
cleared place, with fruit trees in bios
som; on three sides were forest, with
many fine trees; the fourth was a fine
view of the Potomac; will go up the
first bright Sunday we have and get
picture of it; it has evidently. been
an old settlers home.
We had quite an earthquake in this
vicinity the other evening. You no
doubt have read of it by now. We
heard it here, but thought it was the
artillery at Indian Head (nine miles
north of here). They are ofttimes
shooting until late in the evening and
their shells burst out in the river op-
posite camp.
Will send you some pictures; one is
our mess hall, just before holiday
chow"

CH'F GUNNER'S MATE DANGLER
is LOYAL CLEAR THROUGH

Is LOYAL CLEAR THROUGH
Mead A. Dangler, chief gunner's
mate, U. S. Navy, is man that ev-
cry one in Wauseon is glad to claim
as a fellow townsman and the fol-
lowing letter sent to his Wauseon
friends shows that Mead is not only
loyal officer in the U. S. Navy, but
he is also a loyal U. S. citizen, ready
to do his full share for the Flag and
the Country, both on sea and land, in
| the fight and among his fellow citi-l
zens:
U. S. S. Hancock, April, 1918.
My Dear Friends:
On April 9Th the campaign for
the Third Liberty Loan will begin,
and the Secretary of the Navy has
asked that every patriotic Ameri-
can enter this campaign with spirit
and subscribe to the bonds.
In order to further the efforts
along this line he has requested
that every officer and enlisted man
in the Navy write a letter to at
least one friend, or member of his
family, requesting assistance in
making this loan a success, and l
am taking this opportunity to ask
you to cooperate by obtaining
: subscriptions to the bonds from at
least ten people.
In doing this feel that you will
help me do my share as requested
by the Secretary; that you will
greatly help the nation at large
and will assist the allies to win
. the war.
, Yours very truly,
! MEAD A. DANGLER,
Chief Gunner's Mate,
U. S. Navy.
Best wishes to all.
We are very glad that we are in
/ position here in Wauseon to send
v back word to our Gunner Dangler
: that we are doing our share to back
t him up in his patriotic service.
Wauseon has touched the $4,000
mark in Liberty Loan subscriptions
t and we're getting the habit. We
n would have felt "kind O. sneakin'" if
we had been under the necessity of
answering Mead's message by saying
that 1--WE were going to try to raise
n our quota"
n It's "The Army and Navy Forever
Il for US and Three cheers for Gun
v ner Mead A. Dangler!"
