FOR HUMAN RIGHT AND JUSTICE
Fighting Ceases All Fronts The Eleventh Hour Eleventh Day
the Eleventh Month of All History
An End-Everything For Which America Fought Accom-
plshedPermanent Peace Of The World in Sight,
Star of Universal Democracy n Ascendency

These are great days in which to
be iving-none greater in all the his
tory of the human race. Men may
look back through the annals of Time
and some of them think that the days
in which The Christ, The Prince of
Peace, walked among men, were the
most glorious days in which to have
lived, but these are the days when the
sublime principles pronounced by
The Prince of Peace are being vindi-
Gated and applied as supreme among
men not in Palestine alone but in
every land and cline on Earth.
The victory of right and justice over
might and unbridled autocracy has
been won and won by men, and women
too, who were fighting not for mater
ial profit or conquest but for ideals
and the redress of grossest wrongs.
We can never be too proud of the past
which our own nation has had in the
winning of this victcry: The clean
brave men on the battle lines; the true
courageous fellows on the seas; the

The women and men here at home who
have worked and sacrificed, given and

away with a cheer and a smile when
the hearts were breaking with the
pain of parting-toiling on at posts
here at home when they longed to be
following the flag; fighting down in
siduous treachery and disloyalty, bear
ing the calumny of unjust and bitter
criticism; All this and a thousand
times more. What a Nation, what

men; the man with the courage If
the bravest, generalship unsurpassed
and the heart of a father who can
take thought for the welfare and fu-
ture of more than two million boys;

year"
"a whole day of happiness in a
childs life and golden memory for
you, that will live throughout the year
all for a dollar"
"How many children do you thus
want to make happy? If you can af-
ford $500. give that and know that
five hundred children will thereby re
blessed"
eff it is only a dollar, give that
with the fullness of your heart behind
it. Whatever be the amount please
give it promptly, for the time is short

yield such happiness to you as the
giver or the children whom you make
happy on Christmas Day."

The slaughter has ended; there re-
mains the great work of cleaning up,
guarding, policing and the stupendous
task of reconstruction. 1t may be

lat on of Lyons had turned out and
they certainly "did" the town in good
style.
The band and a huge bonfire of
railroad ties kept the crowds that
iocked into Wauseon busy until the
parade which featured the Kaiser in a
hearse with attendant preacher
"Uncle Sam" and "Father Time" rode
on the hearse which was followed by
"The Devil" as the chief and only
mourner, and "The Kaiser's Goat"
which the American boys have surely
"got." The band, schools, citizens,

Germany has surrendered but with
out detracting from the wonderful
work of our fighters and our allies we
can safely say that food has played
an extremely important part in the
outcome.
The situation, however, so far as
food is concerned is as critical as
ever. In addition to feeding our boys
over there, we must now feed our
enemies as well as the starving peo-
pie in the territory recently occupied
by our enemies.
The production of a sufficient
amount of food will be a tremend-
Gus task and it will take organized
effort to go over the top, but the

MUST Be BEATEN
Bryan Heise Writes of Work of First
Aid and Litter Carrying in The Big
Drive-"War is He'll of Worst Kind"
Germans Must be Beaten At All
Costs.

The following letter from Bryan
Heise gives a glimpse of what some IF
our boys have been going through dur
ing the past few months. We are
all proud of Bryan He:se and Of the
dauntless spirit which finds expression
in his statement that the Germans
must be beaten, however hard and
terrible the struggle which it costs.
In France, Oct. 7th, 1918.
Dear Father:
This is the first opportunity to write
to you for nearly two weeks; because
we have been in big push-tired is
no name for the way l feel. For
days and nights for nearly week, we
worked without food or sleep. Our
work was that of first aid and litter
carrying. 1t is about the hardest
physical work that can be done in the
army. At one time / was so tired
that whenever we stopped carrying a
man l would drop over asleep; but we
had to 'carry on" just the same.
But the Germans were pushed back
and the drive is succeeding. Wher
we came from the front we were the
most tired and exhausted bunch of
men l have ever seen. When l am
rested and can write more 1 will tell
YOU all about it.. War is He'll of the
Worst kind. I have been right in the
midst of it. Have had men wounded
and killed all around me; and when
say it is terrible l know what l an
talking about. News has just come
of the Germans peace proposal.
hope that something will come of it fol
I have seen enough slaughter. Tht
Germans however must be beaten ant
then any man who argues for mill
tary armament should be forced into
prison.
Your letter No 7 is here also tn,
money order of Mothers; both yer!
welcome. will write shortly whel
am not so tired and can think co
herently.

FOOD CAMP AIGN
Conference of Farm Bureau Officers
And County Agricultural Agents At
Findlay MOnday-FultOn County
Men Plan Production Campaign.

Next seasons food production pro-
blenns were the subject of a confer
ence held at Findlay Monday, attended
by 200 farm bureau officers and oouEty
agricultural agents from % counties
in northwestern Ohio. The meeting
was called to formulate details of a
food production campaign to be con-
Quoted by the farm bureaus during
Thanksgiving week.
The persons present from Fulton
County were: M. G. Aumend and G.
A. Knapp of Delta and R. A. Cave and
c. D. Perry of Wauseon.
To meet next seasons problems il
was planned that each farm bureau
will secure support of a county and d
state food production program fer the
coming year. As evidence of his in
terest each farmer will be asked to
join his county organization.
This is part of national move to
be made simultaneously by the farm
ers all over the United States.
A resolution by the farmers in at
tendance concerning the need for a
unified effort at efficient food pro-
duction for the coming season says
while peace will probably release
food supplies that are now withheld
from trade, peace will also remove
great food embargoes which will
thereby, greatly increase the demand
for food. A great armed force must

Furthermore the entire world will, as

demands. Farmers, therefore, have
more reason than ever to expect {

can produce next year.
