SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT


Mrs. Hannah Trimble is the VIC
tim of a rather serious auto accident
which occurred last Sunday evening
at Knapp's corners at the northwest
ern corner of the village.
Mrs. TTimble and her daughter,
Mrs. Smith, with Mrs. Will Mohr,
her younger son, and Karl Mohr who
was driving the auto, were coming
toward the corner from the north at
the rate of about six miles, when
Conrad Haas and wife, driving to-
ward the west, struck the Mohr auto
and I'M some unexplained manner,
Mrs. Trimble was thrown from the
car and struck the road on her head
and face, cutting the flesh from the
side of her face and inflicting a Sc
we're scalp wound. None of the other
occupants of the auto were injured.
Both autos we're badly damaged by
the impact of the two machines.
Physicians we're sent for at once and
the Edgar-Van Rensselaer, ambulance
was summoned which conveyed Mrs.
Trimble to the home of her son, Gail,
where Doctors kester, Campbell and
Miller attended to her injuries. 1t
was found necessary to take a num-
Der of stitches on Mrs. Trimble's face
and scalp, but fortunately no bones
were broken. At last reports Mrs
Trimble was getting along fine and
her condition rapidly improving.

Exit the Boche daschund from the
sieiety of Cincinnati dogdom.
No longer will the lengthy CANNES
which tradition has associated with
link sausages find company with de-
cent fidos. A u. S. Marine corps
poster was responsible for the Ger
man doggie's social demise here.
The poster depicts an American
bull dog chasing a German daschund
with the words, "Teufel Hunden
iDevil Dogs), German nickname for
u. s. Marines"
Since the appearance of the Marine
poster, the local daschunds, of which
there are a great number, have led
n miserable existence, as small bows
have @sieked" bull dogs, terriers
hounds and every other breed OF ca.
nine on the poor "Fritzies," until al
last they have been practically driver

world once for all of that system and
philosophy which is the animus of the
unspeakable atrocities which have
cursed the civilization of Europe.
Professor Sanford, on Sunday af-
ternoon, in his searching talk on
"That Boy" Mr.. Fogleman on Mon
day evening, and Arthur K. Herman
on the last evening, with that vivid
word picture of the men and the con-
ditions they are facing cover There"
all these brought real values for
this community that may hardly be
computed in dollars and cents; pro-
vided, the people of this community
appropriate and use the values that
the Chautauqua has brought.
We are not forgetting the further
benefits brought by the numbers that
may be classed as entertainments.
They were all of extraordinary high
order this year; and worthy of more
than the mere passing mention to
which we are limited in this article
were the wonderfully artistic recitals
of Antonio Sala and all the rest of
the musicians who appeared on the
program; Bohumir Kryl and his band
the winsome, charming personality of
Princess Watahwaso, and the art of
Miss Gay Zenola MacLaren. Every
number on this years program is
worthy of special commendatory men
tion and we feel that we owe vote
Of especial appreciation to Miss Null
lin for her work with and for the
Juniors; Professor Wenner, for his
valuable morning hour lectures, which
we regret could not have been heard
by more people; the superintendent,
Mr.. Sawyer, and the Tent crew of
college boys, all Of whom rendered
efficient and cheerful service which
helped to make the 1918 Chautauqua
the success which it was.
We sincerely believe that this
Chautauqua.. has been worth twice
wEat it cost to this community, and
that it will effect an increase in the
efficiency Of the community in per,
forming its part in the winning OF
the war for the permanent peace Of
the world.
The Wauseon Chautauqua for 1915
will depend upon the people of the
community; if enough people will
agree to purchase tickets for next
years Chautauqua to warrant it, con
tract will pc made with the Redpatl
company for next year; otherwise
