WIN ONE; LOSE ONE

The Wauseon High School Basket
Ball team, which left last Thursday
for the tournament at Ohio Wesleyan
University, not only had a royal good
time, but they acquitted themselves
like men and returned with the salts
faction of knowing that they made
a good record and played two games
instead Of one and out.
On Friday morning they drew as
their opponents, the Powell High
School team. This team, which halls
from a centralized school, located
south of Columbus, is composed Of
husky young giants. who have been
putting in lots of practice in the open,
but the Wauseon boys succeeded in
defeating them, the score being 70
IL. The Wauseon team next drew a
team which has the reputation of be.
ing an excellent team, the Stivers
High School team Of Dayton. Friday
afternoon the Wauseon boys met the
Dayton fellows and learned that they
were up to their regulations; the first
half resulted in a score of 33 points
for Dayton and 3 for Wauseon. Ir
the second half the Wauseon boy!
"came back" and held their oppon
ents even, the score fo- this half be-
ing TO 6.
The boys returned by the way o
Columbus, visiting the State Hous
and other points of interest in tn,
Capital city. We heard that they trie,
to get into the penitentiary, but wer
denied admission, which was quit
proper, for certainly no Wauseo
boys have any business with that in
stitution.

MORE WATER IN PROSPECT

The Water Works Board, after in
vestigation has found that it can in
crease the water supply for the city
100000 gallons per day from the pres
ent wells by installing reciprocal
pumps.
Four of these pumps, one for each
of the present wells, have been Or
dered and are now at the Water
Works plant; one of them is being in
stalled this week, which accounts for
the low pressure. The plant has been
pumping under the old system, $780,
900 gallons per day. When all four
of the new pumps are finally installed
this plant will pump $4,000 gallons
per day.
During the installation of the new
pumps the plant will run at q capac-
ity, which will mean low pressure
but citizens will be patient when they
are assured Of more water as soor
as the installation, which may take
four weeks, is complete. After these
new pumps are installed new wells
will be put down and the board feels
that it will secure an adequate supply
of water for the city.

Wauseon business and professional
men went to Fayette and an i'm
promptu Basket Ball Team of Wau-
seon men met an impromptu team of
Fayette men in struggle for the

the close of the official time the game
was a tie, the score standing 14-14;

HUBBELL LANDS
FIRST KINGFISH

We might never have known how
our former townsman, VIM. Hubbell,
who will always belong to Wauseon
wherever he may go or whatever he
may do, was distinguishing himself
in the Sunny South, had it not been
that a personal friend of Mr.. w. T..
Campbell who is now in the South,
noticed the familiar name, "Wauseon,
Ohio" in looking over a newspaper,
and on closer reading found that the
town was named as the home of the
man who had distinguished himself
by catching the first Kingfsh of the
season. He Immediately clipped the
story from the paper and sent it to
his friend, Mr.. W. T. Campbell, and
so it comes about that "Bill's" old
Wauseon friends are made aware of
some of his achievements in the
South. Following is clipping re-
ferred to, or so much of it as is per
tinent:

Here is to Jacob Henry,

Here is to Jacob Henry,
Good old Jacob Henry, true.
You never had to stand and guess
What he was going to do;
With his hand down in his pocket, |
And his heart upon his face,
You knew that he was with you
And he'd back you any place.
His blood was red and glowing,
And his temper often quick,
But it was only at injustice
That you'd ever hear him kick.
Oh, I'd rather face the Kaiser
| And his whole blame Teuton pack,
Than friend of Jacob Henry's
| With Jacob at. his back
When the good Lord fashions fellows
He turns out a common lot;
And the most of us, / reckon,
Are alike in what we've got.
I But occasionally the Master
Sends a jeweled soul to earth;
And twas that way on the morning
That Jacob Henry had his birth.
| know that we who knew him
i Realized the man he was;
Know that when the good Lord took
him,
That in Heaven he'd plead our cause.
But want the world to sort'er
Realize his splendid worth
And to know that Jacob Henry
Was the real salt of this earth.
The casket containing the body was
brought to Wauseon Saturday over
the D. T. & l. Ry., and placed in the
home of his brother, Mr.. John F..
HIATT, where funeral services were
held at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, con-
Quoted by the Rev. C. F. Evans, pas
tor of the Christian church of Wan
seon. The house was filled with
: friends and neighbors in spite of the
/, inclement weather. Members of the
Wauseon Lodge No. 156 Knights of
/, Pythias, of which Mr.. HIATT was a
! member, attended the services in a
!, ! body to pay their last respects to q
: member whom they all honored.
: The many beautiful floral pieces
? and emblems were additional evidence
! of the high esteem in which Mr.. Hat
: was held in his boyhood home town
as we'll as in the city where he has
: been carrying on his life work.
, Interment was made in Wauseor
: ! cemetery.

VERY CONFIDENTIAL

Absolute knowledge 1 have none,
But my aunt's washwoman's sisters son,
Heard policeman on his beat,
Say to laberer in the street
That he had letter last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From Chinese Coolie in Timbuctoo,
Who said that the niggers in Cuba knew,
Of colored in Texas town,
Who got it straight from circus clown
That in Klondike heard the news.
From a gang of South American Jews,
Of somebody in Borneo,
Who heard man who claims to know,
Of swell society female rake,
Whose mother-in-law will undertake.
To prove that ner husbands sisters niece,
Has stated in printed piece,
That she has son who has friend,
WHO KNOWS WHEN THE WAR is GOING
TO END.

Dear Mr.. Altstetter:
l dare say you will be rather SIR
prised to hear from me, but l hope
not disagreeably so. You probably
know that | have enlisted in the
Army Medical Department. Since
November 26, 1917, | have been in
Love Field, which is an Aviation
camp. | have seen so many aero
planes and so much flying that l
have decided to make application
to enter the Officers Training
School for Aviators. In order to
have my application accepted ]
must send with it three letters of
recommendation from men who
have known me. I would appreci-
ate a recommendation from you
very much, for l know it would
help me considerably in having my
application accepted. At present
am clerk and stenographer for the
surgeon in charge of the hospital
at Love Field, but flying holds q
much greater fascination for me
than pounding the keys of type
writer all day.
Believe me, l should like to make
a visit to the old W. H. S. and see
how things are getting along. Hop
ing l may hear from you soon, !
am,
Yours very respectfully

Dear Folks:
Will drop you a line this even

that it is in him, for he enjoys that
kind of work. There are seven of
US fellows congregated around here
this evening, and they are all fine
fellows. We have some oranges,
English walnuts, apples and candy.

franc is worth about IL cents in our
money, although we count it 20
cents here. Well, things are going
fine, and I think they will right
along. We have a bunch of Chinx
here now; you should see some of
them; they don't look as though
they knew enough to go to bed. All

THE REMAKING OF A NATION

THE REMAKING OF A NATION
Major Eric Fischer Wood, an aid
TO Major General +. F. Glenn at
Camp Sherman, is perhaps one of the
best posted men in the United States
today on the conditions in Europe.
Major Wood was a lieutenant in
the British Army early in the war.
He has seen much actual fighting and
has studied the situation abroad with
interest.
While with the British Army his
company went "over the top" The
casualties we're great and when his
company was reorganized, Major
Wood was made captain. Again his
company went "over the top" with
the same result, heavy casualties, and
in the second reorganization Major
Wood was given the rank of Major.
When the United States entered the
war Major Wood was released by the
British Army and came to America
as an aide to Major General Glenn.
He is equally as well known as a
writer as he is as a fighter. His ar
ticles in the Saturday Evening Post
some time ago regarding the situation
abroad attracted national interest.
Major Wood figures prominently in
the great Camp Sherman motion pic
ture, "The Remaking of a Nation"
which win be shown here at the Prin-
cess Theater, Wauseon, Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 26th and 9th.
The Army is the first the people
back home are the muscle and pep
behind the punch. In order to ex-
ert the full force of the men in the
field, the home folks must willingly
render their heartfelt support.
Wait until you see the pictures;
you're going to enjoy them thorough
ly. They show the American Citizen
as he arrives at a cantonment from
his home. They take him through
the early stages of the life at Camp
Sherman; they show him in his drill
and in his hours of leisure.
You will see all the details of &
complicated training through which &
soldier must pass in learning the
spirit of the bayonet in preparing
himself to man the trenches in thu
final charge "over the top" and tn,
push to victory.
1t is all there. Every step, from
the day the boy drops his civilian
clothes until he is ready to take hi
place in the armies of civilization ant
do his part to punish the Hun an,
abolish war for all times.
Ii is the purpose and wish of Gen
eral Glenn that every man, woma
and child in Ohio see this wonder
full drama of real life in order tina
all may be informed as to the actus
conditions in the great Army canton
ments in this country. A commits
stoned officer and an orderly will aC
company the picture and descriptiv
lectures will be given with the show
ing of the films.

lively of the place which Jacob H. HIATT
had won for himself in his home city
of Detroit, also the high esteem in

Quiet fmpressiveness and deep
sincerity marked the services held
Friday afternoon at the home, M.

Gle of friends. The Rev. Thomas

age, had been connected with the
Central Paint and Glass Company
since a youth, and for the last nine

taken suddenly i'll Wednesday af-
ternoon while in a downtown bar
Der shop, and had to be removed to
his home in a taxicab in the care
of a physician. Death came at A
o'clock Thursday morning.
MIR. HIATT was a popular member
of the Detroit Rotary club and had
seemed in perfect health at the
clubs weekly luncheon in the Hotel
Statler Wednesday noon, when ne
joked and laughed with his fellow
Rotarians, apparently in unusually
| high spirits.
Members of the Rotary club at.
tended the funeral services anC
also representatives from the De.
troit Paint and Varnish club, tht
United Commercial Travellers asso.
citation, and Detroit lodge of Elks
in all of which organizations Mr.
