The valve cages are easily re-

gasket under it The ring is thread
ed into the cylinder. Then tap the
cage to loosen it and it will come

in any other type OF motor except
that the cage can be held in the

ton on valve grinding. II you have
not an instruction book, write the
Buick Company for one.
The clutch leather probably needs
treatment and the clutch brake ad

1T HELPS LICK THE KAISER -

CIT HELPS LICK THE KAISER -
The colt donated to the Red Cross
by Frank Newcomer, and which fell
to the lot of Floyd Skeels on Satur-
day, March 16, was at Mr.. SkeePs re-
quest, auctioned off last Saturday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Walter H. Myers was
the highest bidder and took the colt
at $50; half of this amount, $40, was
turned back into the Red Cross fund
by Mr.. Skeels, with the remark, cit
will help to lick the KAISER" and Mr.
Skeels voiced the spirit that has in
spired all the enthusiasm and hard
work on the part of those who have
made the big carnival the big success
that it was. The full amount of $500
will be turned over to the county
chapter of the Red Cross for it's use
in purchasing material for hospital
supplies and garments for the COM
fort and welfare of our soldiers in
France, and every penny of it will
"help lick the KAISER" for the war

The colt, before coming into the
possession of Mr.. Skeels, brought
$192.25; the $40 turned back to the
chapter from the sale last Saturday
makes a total of $232.25 realized
from this colt by the Red Cross, and
if Mr.. Skeels' share of $40 is added,
it makes grand total of $272.25.
That little two-yearold is sure some
money maker and she deserves to be
called "Miss Liberty" or "Miss Red
Cross" or some such nice name.
At the same time the colt was auc-
toned off the registered Duroc pig
donated by Mr.. C. B. McLain, was
placed on sale, and Mr. E. L. Gorsuch
got the pig at $50.
1t was a good afternoon for De-
mocracy; and there are going to be
more, for there will need to be more
The Red Cross workers must have
supplies to meet the needs of our men
who are with the Colors, and the
workers here at home must have ma
terials with which to make such sup.
plies.

BAD FALL; CLOSE CALL

Claud Marks electrician for the
Toledo and Indiana railway, met with
an accident that might have resulted
very seriously for him, last Satur-
day afternoon, and as it was, resulted
ir rather painful injuries
Claud was on an electric light pole
on Washington street. clearing the
wires so that the old Schafer house
on that street could be moved, when
the pole broke off. Claud jumped
away from the falling piece of pole
to which he had been clinging and
struck the ground just in time to re-
ceive a blow in the back from the
end of the cross bar attached to the
section of pole that broke off. The
injured man was taken to his home
and cared for by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Marks. While injuries
sustained were very painful, they
were found to be not serious and
Claud was able to be on the street
little while last Tuesday. He ex-
poets to be able to resume his work
in a few days.

COMING AND GOING

A number of the boys in khaki have
been coming and going during the
past week. Serg't Paul Scott spent
Sunday at home and while here
learned that his friend, Private Clas-
son, who is member of his COM
pany, would be in Wauseon with the
"Remaking of Nation" this week.
Paul's good word and the readiness
to extend every possible courtesy to
their sons comrades in khaki on the
part of Paul's parents, explains why
Private Classon was a guest for din
ner Tuesday evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Scott.
Serg't Otto Funkhouser came home
Saturday evening on a weeks leave.
Otto had the sad duty of sun ,rin-
tending the interment of the body of
his brother, Mr. Fred Funkhouser,
which had been kept in the receiving
vault since the date of the funeral.
Serg't Rob't J. Bissonnette came
to Wauseon Friday morning On leave
until Friday of this week Bob went
to Napoleon Friday evening to visit
his parents and promised to spend a
day or so with Wauseon friends be-
fore he has to return to his duties
at Camp Sherman.
Serg't Ralph Bushey returned to
Camp Sherman Tuesday after a five
days leave which he has been spend
ing with his parents. Ralph had just
finished up a course in mumps at
the hospital at Camp Sherman.
REQ Burgoon was called home by
the death of his mother, Mrs. D. A.
Fauver, whose funeral services were
held Tuesday afternoon.
u Clarence Bates was seen on the
streets of Wauseon last week.
It is interesting to hear from Wau-
seon boys, even when they are not
coming and going from the home
town.
Mr.. Frank German of Toledo was
in this week and gave US news of
his son, Donald, a former Wauseon
boy, who is now member of the
field hospital corps at Camp Custer,
near Battle Creek, Mich.
Serg't w. H. Schultz has received
his fifth promotion since October 8,

Wauseon, Ohio.
Dear Family:
I suppose you think this is rather
funny heading, but it is short, so that
accounts for it, and you are all dear
to me, so it applies, C?
Have your letters of January z, 16,
"a, and February 8, so I am going to
try and answer them and will prom
ise not to get in rut like this again.
Hereafter am going to try and an
swer my letters the same day I re-
ceive them. This is the best way, as
otherwise they pile up so on me and
it is then hard to get started. en-
joy the clippings very much, espe-
cially about the fellows from home.
Whenever any letters are published
be sure and send them, for I am in
terested, sure enough. Must write to
Butch" Westhoven, as 1 haven't
heard from him in a deuce of while.
That was surely too bad about Wal
ter H., but l imagine it would have
been worse if it had happened over
here and they never being able to
see him. War is sure a bad thing,
when you look at it in that way: but
then look at the good it will do, too.
Of course, really think the folks
back home suffer as much if not
more than the ones at the front. l
hope you people will get over the
habit of worrying about me, for real
ly l am o. K. and there is no need
of it. Sure am glad we had no cold
weather like at home, for really our
barracks would have been anything
but comfortable. AS it was, we got
along fine, and you know by summer
time it is quite light at 10 p. M Guess
that is why they call it Sunny
France" because the sun stays up so
long. These days are fine at head
quarters. It is built on high part
of the land; well, in fact the whole
town is, and by looking out the rear
windows (3rd floor) we can see for
many miles in all directions. Several
little towns in the valleys and a pref
ty little. canal. It sure is fine when
the sun is shining and all is bright.
Everything is old and one never sees
new house nor building from one
end of the country to the other. And
the people seem the same way-as
old as the country, with their wooden
shoes and push carts. The wagons
are all high wheeled, or very low,
and the horses hitched one behind the
other; this is on account of the mar
row roads in some places. Then, too,
the main streets of the town are
very narrow and even difficult for
two wagons to pass. This sure
seems strange, but of course, these
places are very old, and the streets
were but mere paths at one time.
Well, l will have to close now, let
ting you know that l am feeling fine
and all o. K, and hoping you are the
same. With love to you all, 1 am
Your Brother Joe.

CAMP SHERMAN
Wonderful Picture of Soldier Training at the Ohio
CantOnment Shown to Nearly 5000 People in Wau-
seon-Archbold Schools Out IN Full Force

Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week will long be remembered by
hundreds of boys and girls and men
and women in Wauseon and vicinity,
because of the fact that on one OF
those dates they had the privilege of
seeing one of the most remarkable
moving pictures ever made. The
government picture, "The Remaking
of Nation" arrived in Wauseon
Tuesday in charge of Lieut.. Knep-
per and his orderly, Private Classon,
and the first show was given free to
373 pupils and teachers of the Wau-
seonschools. At the matinee on
Tuesday afternoon less than zoo per-
sons availed themselves OF the oppor-
Cunity of seeing the picture, but
Tuesday evening the Princess theater
was twice packed with people until
every available inch was filled, and
yet there We're enough people left to
make fair sized audience for the
thIrd show.
Wednesday morning the schools
from Tedrow, Ottokee, and the coun-
try surrounding Wauseon, began ar
r1vlng long before o'clock. AT five
minutes before 10 two special T. &
i. cars arrived with the Archbold
schools, 200 strong; they carried flags,
every teacher and pupil, and besides
they carried a huge banner which
heralded the fact that Archbold
schools have "gone over the top" in
advance of all other schools of the
county in the purchase of War Savings
and Thrift stamps, every pupil hav-
ing purchased $5 worth of stamps
Of course they are proud of this
achievement, and they have reason to
be. After unloading from the cars,
the schools were marshaled north on
Fulton street to West Elm and halted
before the High school building where
they gave their High school yells and
were then marshaled to the Princess
theater. When the last child was
finally placed in the theater, Manager
Caddell said he had about 600 in the
room.
Nearly 5000 persons had seen the
picture and listened to the clear cut
descriptive lecture by Lieutenant
Knepper when the last show closed on
Wednesday night. AS for the picture
itself, too much can hardly be said
in praise of it.
1t is a six-reel journey through a
war school. 1t opens with the ar
rival of long string of drafted
youths from various parts of the
state. The spectator is then taken

WAR Time LUNCH
Attorney Eugene Rhinefrank of To-
ledO Delivers a Stirring Patriotic
Address to Business Men of Wau-
seon and Their Guests-When the
Lights Went Out.

Interest and enthusiasm in the
weekly gatherings of business and
professional men of Wauseon was in
creased nightly last Thursday ev-
ening when Attorney Eugene Rhine
frank delivered an intensely patriotic
address to ia men, who gathered in
the X. of P. Castle hall for weekly
Wartime Luncheon and general get
together meeting.
The banquet served by the Pythian
Sisters Temple was quite up to the
standard set at the previous meetings
and the men did full justice. The
service which is being rendered by
these women is perhaps of far more
Importance than they themselves re-
alize and it certainly is appreciated
by the men who have attended these
meetings. These luncheons have been
and are an important factor in push
ing forward the various activities re-
quired to do our full share in support
ing and upholding our government in
these times of war. The men have
gathered together, interchanged ideas
and been informed in regard to the
condition and needs that actually ex-
ist, and have learned how to work
together for the common good and
are prepared to meet the emergencies
which are likely to arise.
/ Mr.. Rhinefrank's address was one
of the most inspirational of any OF
those that have been given up tc
date; he drove home and clinched
ideas and facts that had previously
been presented and in addition pre-:
sented new phases of the situation
Mr.. Rhinefrank urged the greatest
possible cooperation on the part Of
the men of the community in the sup.
port of Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., anC
other activities; subscribing to Lib
erty Loan and War Savings Stamps
and also in organizing Protective
League or National Defense Coun
Gil branches to guard against anC
suppress sedition and disloyalty. Tht
speaker cut his address short in or
der that the men might attend tht
; Red Cross benefit basket ball gamt
, between the business men of Fayett,
and business men of Wauseon. Man.
; expressed themselves as wishing tina
he might have continued his address
for another half hour.
About 125 men from Fayette cam
oyer to attend the basket ball game
: but that game was destined not t.
be finished. 1t was just NIGEL
started when the lights went out an
did not come on again. The scor
stood to in favor of Wauseon. TIL
! current had been cut off to safeguar
!. the firemen and others who wer
!. working at the Miley block fire.
: Some of the Fayette men arrive
: in time to partake of the luncheo
i and hear the address of Mr.. Rhine
r. frank.

A COAL EXPLANATION

plain the present situation so far as
Pocahontas coal is concerned:
Cincinnati, Ohio, March 25, 1918.
Wauseon Lumber & Supply Co.,
Wauseon, Ohio
Gentlemen: Yours of the 23rd. The
administration has seen fit to exclude
from this market all Pocahontas coal,
so we are unable to quote for delivery
in the months of April, May and June.
The main idea in keeping this coal
from this territory is to supply the
government requirements; also New
England, and by so doing conserve
the car supply and in this manner en-
hance the production in the smokeless
field.
Yours very truly,
