PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
flee Of the American people must he
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale Of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate In the
months to come. In the past year We
have carried out an export program.
the magnitude OF which IL almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come. with
the liberation OF nations freed from
German oppression. our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of II, S20,-
900 tons. We must ship twenty million
tons OF food to Europe In the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
IL the Allies had not been fed by
America. II would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their DE-
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on q purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy Is a success ana that In time Of
need II will rise to Its own defense.
IL there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that IL
has shown the strength Of democracy
has In itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratlc Germany. Germany
has been confident that II could not be
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
at our door. and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many d.
rections and upon the mere word OF
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trus.
of those who put their faith In democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

LETTER FROM
NO MANS LAND
Ray Emerling Writes His Brother
and Sends Flowers as Souvenirs
From No Mans Land = The
Trenches - Weather and Crops -

Writing to his brother George,
rom Somewhere in France, Ray
Co. F, 166th Reg't of the
amous Rainbow Division, gives as
lis reason for not having written
or some time before that he, with
lis comrades "have been up trying
,ur luck at the Dutch" The letter
S dated April %, and Ray writes:
l didn't have very good success,
as l only saw them in their own
trenches, which were about 1000
yards from u.s. We came out fine
from our second time in the
trenches. l am sending you a SOU
venir; it is out of No Mans Land;
there was one place in No Mans
land where there was nothing but
these flowers. How are all of the
crops over there? We do not see
many crops over here so close to
i. the firing line, but what we do see
are fine. How is the weather over
there? Here, it has been raining
for quite a while and it is quite
muddy.
How are all the boys? Have
they heard of Forest Reese? I
wonder if he is over here yet. Why
don't some of them write !? If it
is only few lines it will help cheer
a fellow when he has the blues.
received letter from Emma Fra
ker just before we went into the
trenches with a wedding cigar in
it. l will bet that is the farthest
wedding cigar ever travelled; I
suppose you gave them some bell
ing. I wish I could have been
there, too, to help you make some
noise.
Received that box that Opal sent
me, and was certainly glad to get
it. You said that if there wa.
anything that 1 wanted I should
let you know; well, you can send
me all the tobacco you want to,
for that is about the only thing
we cannot get. I sup
pose the old town is as dead as
ever. l wish I was there to look
it over once more. I don't think it
will grow any larger until I come
back : = Goodbye
and good luck to all, from

REG|STRATIONDA DAY
The President Designates Wednesday,
June Fifth, as Date All Male Citi-
zens and Residents of U. S. Attain
ing Age of Twenty-One Between
June 5th, 1917, and June 5th, 1918,
Must Register.

The Local Board has received its
instructions for the registration of
all men in, Fulton county becoming
q years of age since June 5, 1917,
up to and including June 5, 1918, the
date for registration being June s.,
1918; and all persons who are subject
to register must appear at the office
of the Local Board at the court house
in Wauseon, Ohio, on that date.
The rules for this registration are
substantially the same as they were
at the former registration and ex-
treme penalties are attached to will
full disregard of the Presidents or
ders.
The only exceptions to the law are
persons in the military or naval serv-
ice of the United States, which in
cludes all officers and enlisted men
of the Regular Army, the Navy and
Marine Corps, and the National Guard
and Naval Militia, while in the serv-
ice of the United States, and officers
in the Officers Reserve Corps, while
in actual service; but all such per-
sons become subject to registration
and are required to register imme-
diately upon leaving such military or
naval service.
The law provides that those per-
sons registered under the provisions
of this act shall be placed at the bot
tom of the list of those liable for
military service in the several classes
to which they are assigned.
The time set for registration is be-
tween the hours of a. m. and 9 p.
M, Wednesday, June 5, 1918.
The burden of making the required
registration under the supervision of
the Local Board having jurisdiction of
the area within which the registrant
permanently resides, is placed upon
the registrant himself, but for the
convenience of those who are absent
from home and to relieve them from
the necessity of going home to reg
lister, supply of registration cards
has been placed in the office of every
Local Board in the United States and
the chief clerk of any board or a
member of any BOARD is authorized to
record the answer of persons absent
| from the jurisdiction of their respec-
tive local boards and to certify to
their registration cards. Such cards
will be turned over to the persons
who are registering and must be
mailed by them to the local boards
having jurisdiction in their homes, in
time to reach such boards by the day
set for registration. A self-addressed
stamped envelope should be inclosed
with the registration card for the reg.
istration certificate. Failure to gel
this certificate may cause serious in
convenience.

SCOUT NOTES

Drill squads are being formed for
the summer now. Every Scout should
take this feature of Scout work.
A comprehensive chart of the work
of each Scout is row being made by
the Scoutmaster. This will be an in
teresting study when completed.
The camp and Scout Training
school details are now being worked
out. Plan to have your boy in on
this inexpensive vacation. Each Scout
not only gets fine recreative period,
but fine training in manly things
as well.
Next week will be busy week for
the Scouts. Tuesday the Drum and
Bugle corps and also all Scouts have
been asked by rhe War Board to es-
cort the eighty soldier boys to the
train at 8:15. Wednesday, all Scouts
and Bugle corps will attend the big
May Day school picnic and greet the
Governor at the Fair Grounds. On
Thursday at OILS a. m. they will es-
cort the Grand Army parade to the
cemetery and assist in the Decoration
Day exercises. Every Scout will be
of service on these occasions.

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

The call for nurses continues. If
you are a young woman anxious to
do your bit this is the best way: En-
roll yourself in training school for
nurses and so release a trained nurse
for military service
The various districts of the Lake
Division will soon be given quotas
for all hospital supplies. The work
is being systematized more and more
all the time. When we look back at
our county chapter as it was in the
beginning, we can only feel amaze
ment at the splendid work accom-
plished.
AS announced last week, Fulton
County Red Cross must furnish 200
comfort kits. The essential contents
of the kit follow: Housewife, 20
yards; light strong cord fish line
style); cigarette lighter for Army
without liquid); shaving soap; tooth
brush in case, short comb in case,
pencil, with eraser and cover for
point. In addition, kit may contain:
Jack knife, containing if possible,
corkscrew, screw driver, can opener,
bottle opener, and leather punch;
small carborundum stone, 3x1A
inches, for sharpening knife; safety
razor, 25 post cards. The Navy kits
may contain a small crash towel and
white handkerchief.
The War Department urges again
through the official bulletin that the
home folks forget their worries when
they write to the boys in camp. About
80 per cent of the cases of desertion
have been traced to letters contain
ing exaggerated reports of unhappy
nome conditions.
The Wauseon work rooms want
more sewing machines. The women
cannot work without tools. Help
find these machines that are needed
so badly.

EIGHTY CALLED
Eighty Fulton County Registered
Men to Leave For Camp Taylor
Next Tuesday-America's Army of
Defense Speeding Up-Need of Mo-
bilizing the Home Resources En-
phasized.

BY far the largest body of selected
men that has yet left Wauseon for a
military training camp will be the
splendid contingent which will leave
next Tuesday for Camp Taylor, near
Louisville, Ky. The manifest speed
ing up Of the organization and dis
patching of the United States Army
that, with the armies of our allies
are holding the line of defense OF
human rights and justice in Europe
is a stirring reminder to those of us
who remain at home out of the dan
ger zone and far from the scenes of
devastation and carnage, that there
Is need of our mobilizing and organ
izing our home forces and resources
to support and sustain that far-fung
line OF defense, and that there de-
wolves upon US duties as important
as those which devolve upon those
who in khaki and blue are with the
Flag In France; or on the high seas;
or in training camp and cantonment.
First, we must in these days put
America and the cause of Democracy
for which our Nation is fighting, alb
solutely FIRST. We must demand of
ourselves and each other an unhesi-
tating readiness to give without res
ervation moral, intellectual, physical,
and financial support to aid and sup
port the Government and the men
who are doing its bidding, to the
limit of our ability.
II is just as important that we
who stay at home and enjoy the
safety and security and opportunity
which our government gives us should
lend that government our money on
hand and our earnings to equip,
transport, feed and clothe the men
who are fighting for us, as it is that
these men should give themselves to
this service. Just as much an obli-
CATION resting on us to give to the
limit of our ability to furnish our
soldiers and sailors and aviators the
comforts and help, and care wher
sick or wounded that the government
does not and can not give, as there
is an obligation resting upon a sin.
gle one of those men to give theil
time, energies, and risk their lives
to fight for the security of our peace
and comfort and to insure the right:

As our boys are wheeling into line
and speeding up the machinery thai
is to end this war in victory for tn,
cause of righteousness, it is time Il
speed up the agencies here at hom,
that shall give to them wherever the!
are, the utmost help and support pos

SHORT COURSE IN JOURNALISM

A short course in Journalism is an
nounced for the Notre Dame summer
school. So many newspaper men
have gone to war that trained men,
upon whom editors can depend, are
badly needed. 1t seems that in the
universities the loss of students in
journalism because of the war is larg-
er than in any other course. This is
probably because it is the newspaper
mans instinct to be where things are
doing"
The course of study and practice at
Notre Dame is designed to fit young
men and women quickly to fill the
gaps.

FARMERS '-GRANGERs' RALLY

Six or seven counties of North
western Ohio and three counties of
Southern Michigan will unite in a

pected to be present. The principal
speakers will be John, C. Ketcham of
Michigan, National Lecturer of the
Grange, and L. B. Taber, State Mas
ter of Ohio.
