COMMENCEMENT WEEK ACTIV-
tiles OF THE HIGH SCHOOL


While the program of activities
during commencement week will be
very much the same as usual, the
graduating class and Superintendent
Altstetter are planning that it shall
nevertheless be distinctive. The pub
lie schools should be in harmony with
the spirit of the times and there is
no reason why this spirit should not
stand forth distinctly in the gradual
ing exercises. The class play, "Claim
Allowed" and the exercises on gradu-
alton night have been so chosen as to
present and cultivate a greater love
Of country and zeal for service. The
program for the week is as follows:
Baccalaureate sermon, Sunday, May
26, 7:30 p. M, at the Methodist church
the Rev. Mr.. Evans preaching the
sermon; Glass Play, Monday and
Tuesday, May 27 and %, in the High
School auditorium; Graduating Exer-
cises, Thursday, May 80, 8 p. M, ir
the High School auditorium.
The Alumni reception and banquet
will be held on the Friday evening
following.
Because of the nature of the gradu
alton exercises and the fact that it Is
Decoration day, the class has invited
the G. A. R. and the women of the
Relief Corps to attend the program
in a body. Tickets for the class pla,
and graduation program, as well a.
reserved seats for the class play, viii
be on sale three days before the dat,
of the performance. The public mus
be mindful of the fact, however, tina
seats for the class play must be usec
on the night for which they are re
served; otherwise considerable confu
sion would result.

STATEMENT

| was born in Dover township, this
county, about so years ago. About SO
years ago my father built the house
that E. E. Spring now lives in, driv-
ing every nail in the original build

My mothers name was Murphy and
she was of Irish descent; my father
was Welsh and English; at this time

About May 1st 1 was approached
to buy $4,000 Liberty Bond, which
l thought was little hard; in the
presence of Mrs. Belle Huffman, 1 g
W. Pugh) went TO the chairman OF
the Fulton county Liberty Loan com
mittee, and said to him that l would
take out 5000 in bonds now, and il
I would sell that farm for and put tht
into Liberty Bonds.
l proposed that Mr.. Crooks and Mr.
Harris choose two men, l would
choose two men, and whatever the
board of six men thus formed should
determine any farm l own was worth
/ would sell that farm and put tn,
Altire proceeds into Liberty Bonds.

TRACTORS AT COST
Ford Tractors to Be Distributed at
Cost in Fulton County and Vicinity
By Ford Dealers.

The Ford agents have contributed
their services in the patriotic distri-
button of the Ford Tractors in Full
ton county and vicinity. These ag-
ents are working in conjunction and
under the direct control Of the Bry-
ant Tractor company of Columbus,
Ohio. who have been appointed by
Governor Cox to distribute Ohio's al
lotment of tractors. Henry Ford Of
fered the distribution of the trac-
tors to Governor Cox and he in turn
delegated the same to the Bryant
Tractor company of Columbus. The
distribution is patriotic in every way
and the tractors will be delivered to
the farmers at cost. The tractors
can only be secured in carload lots.
The tractors will be delivered to the
farmer at net price of $3.50 f. O. b..
Dearborn, Mich. After the quota of
the state has been exhausted the trac-
Gors will sell at much higher price.
The allotment Of 1000 has been made
oy Mr.. Ford at the cost price, with
1he sole idea in mind of the patriotic
conservation of farm labor. Henry
Ford has given to the world a trac-
tor that will revolutionize farming
and help win the war by doing the
work of thousands of men loaned to
Uncle Sam.
Lord Northcliffe recently wrote in
the London Times, II mounted a Ford
tractor and plowed a half mile fur
row in about eight minutes, speed
of almost four miles an hour"
Any boy or girl can drive it. Ford
agents will be glad to give any farm
er all the information they have at
their disposal. They advise any
farmer who wishes to purchase a
Ford Tractor to get in touch with
them at once and make a. settlement
to be sure Of securing one as soon as
they arrive.

MILITARY PREPARATIONS

The most Of the frst-hand fnfor-
nation that we get here at home in
regard to the stupendous operations
that are constantly going on to
strengthen the battle line in France
and protect the Flag on the seas, is
that which comes to US from the

places in this mammoth movement
They were: Lloyd Sharp, Wauseon;
Jesse James Morton, Swanton; Will
Pfund, Fayette; Levi W. Miller, Delta

Michael Marneros of Toledo. Their
immediate destination was Fort
Thomas, KY. AS at previous depar-
lures, the Boy Scouts, with their drum
and bugle corps; veteran soldiers of
Losure Post G. A. R., and citizens es-
corted the men to the station, where
large number of relatives and
friends of the men congregated
to give them a fitting "send-off."
Jesse Morton was discharged for
physical disability the next day after
reaching Fort Thomas and has re-
turned to his home.
Fulton county has a number of
other places to fill with men, as sew
eral others have been rejected as un-
qualified for military service.

LOVINGLY REMEMBERED


We are in receipt of a copy of "The
Message" the church paper of the
New First Congregational church,
Chicago, of which the late B. F. AL
drich, D. D., was pastor, in which we
find an account of the recent placing
Of bronze tablet on the north wall
of the church auditorium bearing the
following inscription:
"Our Beloved Pastor
BENJAMIN F. ALDRICH
1912-1916
Born January 20, 1863
Died November 5 1916
So he was their shepherd accord
ing to the integrity of his heart,
and guided them by the skillful-
ness of his hands.-Psalms 1872"
The paper also contains an account
of an "Aldrich Memorial Endowment
Fund" which was started last Easter
and is now being raised by the mem
bers who purchase Liberty Loan
Bonds which they tcrn in to this fund.
DR.. Aldrich was well known and
loved by many of our readers; he was
the son Of Mrs. Julia Carter Aldrich
and his boyhood days were spent in
the vicinity Of Wauseon.
