Our village has been for the past
week in the grip of this mysterious
epidemic which during the present
seige has been go ng under the some
what old fashioned name of Spanish
Influenza, which we're inclined to sus-
pect is nothing more than an alias for
HGrippe". Up to Thursday twenty
five homes in the village had been tag
ged with the red card bear ng the
inscription Influenza. In many
of these homes there are or were sew
eral members of the family down
with the disease so the number of
cases has been quite large. Hap
PLY there have been no cases in the
village terminating fatally though
there have been many ser ously i'll.
In the +. r. Harper home the entire
family have been down and the
daughter Marthella has been danger
ously. i'll, but last reports indicate
that the danger is past in this case
The disease has been especially pre-
valent among the children, although
the adults have by no means escaped
Doctors have been overworked, one
doctor reporting having treated sc
cases. The ep' demic is by no meaus
confined to the village, it is through
the surrounding country and there
are many cases on the farms through
out the county. Physicians say that
il may be expected to continue fol
about ten days or more.
There is but one course Of actor
to pursue these days that is compl!
with the rules set for the prevention
of the spread Of the disease, observI
the directions as to care Of the persoi
diet etc. and keep cheerful and hope
full.

FLAG RAISING
Patriotic Exercises by Public Schools
Old Glory Raised on Staff at East
School Building-GOvernOr Cox
COmmends Patriotism of Children
and Teachers.

Very fitting and very impressive
were the exercises conducted by the
pupils of the grade schools last Fri
day afternoon when a beautiful new
flag was raised on a freshly pa nted
flagstaff on the grounds of the East
School building.
Mrs. Bartlett, principal of the East
building presided and with her own
hands ran the "Stars and Stripes" to
the mast top for the first time. Miss
Helen Hartman supervisor of music
in the grade schools directed the mu-
sical part of the program. An es-
say by one of the boys of the seventh
grade on the Fourth Liberty Loan
was we'll delivered by its author and
was very commendable. "Your Flag
and My Flag" was recited by Mss
Louise Grisier in a fine manner and
the songs by the quartette of boys,
the grades separately and the entire
school together were given well and
with enthusiasm. The entire pro-
gram was inspiring and the unfor-
tunate thing is that there was not a
larger audiance of citizens present
10 hear and apprec ate it. The high
school faculty and Students about
twenty-five or thirty ladies and by
actual count, forty-seven men con-
stituted the audience.
Following the program by the
schools, County Superintendent, G..
D. Perry and F. E. Kenyon were
pressed into service to fill in the in
terim before the arrival of Governor
Cox who arrived on tain No. %, N.
Y. G. Ry. which was as usual, these
days late. Soper ntendent Altstet-
ter in a short address introduced the
Governor who gave fine talk to the
children, questioning them as to
those who had relatives in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States; then as to how many had pur-
chased thrift or war savings stamps
The young forest of hands that were
raised in reply to the Governors
questions were an inspiration to the
onloolers and the Governor COM
men5ed the children and their teach
ers for the splendid patr otism they
manifested. He spoke in glowing
terms of the Ohio Soldiers and sailors
and the splendid records they are
making wherever they are. He ap
pealed to the adults to support those
boys in every way possible and urg
ed the buying of bonds. He sale
that the boys ON the battle fields d
! Europe were asking to be permitted
to complete the task to which the!
have set themselves and that the.
, were the ones who should be consult
ed in regard to peace negotiations.
Governor Cox went from Wauseol
7 to Bryan where he spoke Frida,
J evening.

Private Samuel Rottmer of the
famous Rainbow Division came to
Wauseon last Friday evening 10
speak in behalf of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan at the open meeting of the
League of American Patriots.
1t was not until they reached
Wauseon that the gentlemen learn
ed that all public meetings had been
called off; but determined not to
make the trip in vain, Rev. Luethi
improved the opportunity offered
by the presence of a group of people
in the waiting room of the T. & l,
station and set Private Rottmer tell
ing his thrilling story to those who
were in the station; the soldier talk
ed until the 8:28 east bound car
arrived. Private Rottmer enlisted
at Toledo though his home is N
Michigan. The chevrons on his sleeve
indicate that he has been in active
service fifteen months; he was shot
through the hip in an engagement
with the enemy near Scissors. His
narrative was thrilling and he seemed
to have little confidence in the sin
cerety of German peace overtures.
