Hydrogen.

The lightest known gas Is hydro
gen. The decomposition OF water by
electricity yields this gas. 1t may be
generated by the action Of hydro
chloric acid upon zinc, forming zinc
chloride and ~liberating the hydrogen
which the hydrochloric acid contains.
When a piece of sodium Is dropped in
to water, the gas which comes OF Is
hydrogen. This is too expensive for
commercial purposes. The action OF
warm sodium h~ydroxide upon alum.
inium causes the evolution Of hydro
gen from the sodium hydroxide and
the formation of aluminium hydroxide.
The first method given Is the cheapest
end the one most generally employed

The solicitor had been away In the

Papa In the Telephone

When the late President Cleveland's
daughter was quite young her father
once telephoned to the White House
from Chicago and asked Mrs. Cleveland
to bring the child to the phone Lift
ing the little one up to the instrument,
Mrs. Cleveland watched her expression
change from bewilderment to wonder
and then to fear.
1t was surely her fathers voice-yet
she looked at the telephone incredu-
lousy. After examining the tiny open
ing In the receiver, the little girl sud
denly burst into tears. "Oh, mamma !"
she sobbed, "how can we ever get papa

FROISSART AND HIS HISTORY
Sir John Cleverly WigeIed Out Data
From the Various Errant
Knights of 1857.

Years ago, when l was q small boy,
With TaCitus, ~personages who recorded
1ull historical facts in needlessly diff
fcult language. OF the two l disliked
Froissart the more, for he wrote in ar
:haic Norman French, to which the
dictionary often offered no clew, says
1 writer in the London Times.
OF course / have recast these opin-
ions, but so many years have passed
since l read and really enjoyed the
cheerful Hainaulter's ambling through
the history of his times that his book
and its theme were dim in my memory.
What remained vivid enough was the
recollection Of his method, for seldom
has historian gathered material in
such wise. Ridden by his master,
Count Robert de Namur, to write a
record Of "the wars" young John
Froissart saddled a gray nag, whistled
up a useful white hound, which could
always be trusted to add a hare or
a rabbit to the pot. and set off on his
travels.
On the road he would fall In with a
knight or Ia at arms, and worm out
Of such n chance companion the stories
Of their proweSs. AT evening, In hos
telry, monastery or feudal castle, in re-
turn for his own lively yarns, he would
be told others. Bit by bit he built up
a wonderfully accurate narrative Of
events in Flanders. in northern France
and in England. He wrote his history
In 1857.

One of the finest compliments to
our American soldiers in Europe ana
at the same time one of the most
scathing condemnations of those who
cast reflections upon them is contained
in the following extract from an ar
ticle written by Lieutenant Coningsby
Dawson of the Canadian First Army
which appeared in the Red Cross
Magazine:
81 want to say emphatically that
cleaner, more earnest, better pro-
tected troops than those from the
United States are not to be found in
Europe. Both in Great Britain and
on the Continent their Puritanism has
created deep impression. By then
idealism they have made their power
felt; they are men with a vision ir
their eyes, who have Travelled three
thousand miles to keep a rendezvous
with death. That those for whom they
are prepared to die should suspect
them is a degrading disloyalty That
trackers should be sent after them
from home to pick up clues to Their
unworthiness is sheerly damnable. To
disparage the heroism of other ma
tions is bad enough; to distrust the
heroes of your own flesh and blood
attributing to them lower than civil
ian moral standards, is to be guilty
of the meanest treachery and ingrat
| itude"

AVIATION CIRCUS

A large number of people from
Wauseon and in fact from the entire
county, were in Toledo Monday to
witness the aviation demonstration at
Bay View Park. Toledo was literally
packed and the solid line of automo-
biles from Madison street the entire
length of Summit and reaching out
to Bay View, with the tangle at the
park, was a sight seldom witnessed
in any Ohio city.
There can be no doubt concerning
the interest taken by the American
people in this branch of military serv-
ice that is playing such an important
part in winning the war in Europe.
There were IL planes of various
types, the majority of them Ameri-
can made, and mostly training planes,
bombing planes, two-seated battle
planes, the single-seated scouts, OBJ
servation planes, etc.
The formation flights over the city
and maneuvers at Bay View were fine
ly executed and the only criticism
heard was that there was not more
of it. More planes of all types and
men to operate them will be placed
over European battle fields and WI
prove one of the determining factor.
in this war.

NATIONAL ARMY men
Ninety Six Men of Class One Duty Sunday Afternoon
To Receive Instruction From Board Appointed By
Order of Provost Marshal General Thirty one
Men To Leave For Camp Taylor, Wednesday

Ninety-six members of class One
of the selected men of Fulton county
gathered at the court house last Sun
day afternoon in response to an or
der from the local board to receive
instructions from the newly appoint
ed board of instruction.
There are but 115 class One men
remaining in Fulton county; all but
19 of these were present; 81 of these
will leave for Camp Taylor during
the week beginning next Monday, Au-
gust 26.
Relatives came with the men and
the court room was well filled. After
general remarks from the chairman,
M. B. Hoyt, c. R. P. Waltz and C. d.
Perry gave information along the
various lines indicated by the orders
from the Provost Marshal General,
under which the men were called to-
gether.
Capt. John A. Weir then took
charge of the men and gave them IN
sCructlon in some of the first things
that will be required of them on en-
tering the camps to which they may
be assigned. Five or six men, econ
scientious objectors," refused to line
up with the rest of the men, though
it was explained to them that this
was not for the purpose of instruction
for participation in actual warfare
but simply to acquaint them WITH
rules and requirements of all mer
who enter the government camps

WATCH THAT SNAKE

The Copperhead made his first ap-
pearance as a menace to American
liberty in Revolutionary days. Then
he was a Tory, sympathizing with the
king and English rule, informing
against the men who were waging
freedoms fight, and aiding in every
way he could to perpetuate the yoke
of oppression. And hoping to profit
thereby when the friends of liberty
were eventually vanquished.
He appeared again in the Civil war
period, and his normal habitat was
north of Mason & Dixon's line. Then
as now he was an opponent of the
draft, a protestor against the levy
ing of war taxes, a discourager of the
purchase of government bonds. And
where he could he was aiding the Sc
ceders in every way possible.
AND HE IS WITH US TODAY,

Ninety-six Dollars in One Dav

Come to the Fulton county fair and
learn how to make S96 in one day.
A very interesting demonstration
will be conducted each day at 1.30
p. m, in the Agricultural building
at the fair grounds. This demonstra-
ton will be given by R. A. Cave,
county agricultural agent, under the
auspices of the Fulton County Farm
Bureau.
Any farmer bringing in a sample
of soil may have it tested between
1880 and 2:30 p. m. Much of the
soil of Fulton county is in need of
lime, and until lime is used plenti-
fully the best crop yields will not
be obtained
Last spring hundreds of farmers
were without seed corn that would
grow and had to pay out thousands
of dollars for imported seed. There
was no excuse for the situation ex-
cept neglect in saving seed corn
early, drying it thoroughly, and pro-
tecting it from hard freezing.
Considerable wheat in Fulton coun-
ty was affected by sinking smut this
year. Come and see samples of it
and learn how to apply treatment
to prevent it at the Farm Bureau
/ booth.
/ Don't buy new hay rope, but learn
how to splice your old one.
/ No farmer can afford to miss see
1 ing the Farm Bureau booth at the
fair grounds.
Don't forget the dates of this, the
most important fair to you that vii

EVER HE MAY, THE CAUSE OF
WORLD DEMOCRACY.
Again he opposes the draft. Again
he conscientiously objects to service.
Again he refuses to participate in the
killing of Hun savages. Again he
discourages the buying of Liberty
Bonds. Again he gives aid wherever
he may to the cause Of the enemy.
Again he would see the would-be op-
pressors of his country triumph.
Of all men he is the most contemp-
tible, the most to be dispised, the one
t, be branded with the mark of trail
tor, the one to be placed quickest
where he may spread no more of his
poison.
And now that another Liberty Loan
is approaching; that the country is
once more to give expression to its

the front; that insurance is to be fur

their victorious drive against the arch

WAUSEON BOYS
IN REAL SERVICE
Howard Furney Writes Of Expert
ences Under Shell Fire = News
From WauseOn Boys in Ambulance
Corps - Mckinley Robinson Is
Wounded.

Here is a letter that should make
the heart of every citizen of Wau-
seon throb with pride and inspire
everyone who lives in this town to
redouble his or her efforts to help
maintain and care for these boys
who are exemplifying the spirit of
true Americanism and demonstraU-
ing their own courage and bravery
on the battle fields of France.
More than this; it furnishes n
reason why we all should do every
thing we possibly can to help speed
up this war and bring it to the only
end that as civilized human beings
we can consider, and that is, the
complete determination of the sys-
tenn of inhumanity that utterly dis
regards all rights except the right
of might, and holds nothing, sacred
except it's own bestial desires. Read
this letter of Howard Furney's, and
read between the lines the real
grit and manly courage of this
Wauseon boy; then remember that
it will take billions of dollars to
train. equip, transports and main
tain the millions of men that are
necessary to bring this war to a
close and bring these boys of ours
back to our homes. They are
worthy OF the best and all that we
have to give. The time has cone
for us to sacrifice for their sakes.
They have come to their hour ol
testing and have proved true -
Our hour of testing is at hand
shall we prove ourselves worthy
of them?
