LAWS THAT MUST
RE FNFGRCFD

If America is to remain American
and not become German, or Turkish,
or anything else that is barbaric or
worse, the lives and moral characters
of the children and women of this
nation must be safeguarded and held
as sacred. In order to safeguard the
children in this country the Juvenile
court was established, and under sec
ton 1864 of the General Code of Ohio,
as amended, the Juvenile court has
jurisdiction over all minors under 18
years of age, and those who contrib
ute toward the delinsuency of said
minors. Said section referred to,
reads as follows:
Whoever abuses a child or aids,
abets, induces, causes, encourages
or contributes toward the depen-
dency, neglect or delinquency, as
herein defined, of a minor under the
age of Is years, or acts in way
tending to cause delinquency in
such minor, shall be fined not less
than ten dollars, nor more than one
thousand dollars or imprisoned not
less than ten days nor more than
one year, or both. Each day Of
such contribution to such depen-
dency, neglect or delinquency, shail
be deemed a separate offense
There may be many persons who
were unaware of the power and au-
/ Ghority lodged in the Juvenile court
! along this line, and the recent fining
and Imprisonment of one of our citi-
zens who was found guilty by Judge
Barber in this court, of contributing
to the delinquency of a minor, has
come as surprise. Judge Barber
was acting entirely within his juris-
diction and entirely as required by
law to act in this matter, and his ac-
tion in no way interferes with OF
changes any matter that may be
lodged against the same person i1
another court.
The one thing in this regrettable
affair that needs to be made unmis-
takably emphatic and impressed upon
the public mind is; that in the state
of Ohio no person has the moral o.
legal right to abuse, neglect, or con.
tribute in any way to the dependency
or delinquency of any child, whether
their own or some other PERSONS.
The state of Ohio vests absolute
authority in the judge of the juvenile
court to protect the child, both phys
lcally and morally, even to the ex
tent of taking child found by tn
court to be dependent or delinquen
or abused in any way, from its par
ents or natural guardians and pIac
such child in such environment as tn
\ court may deem proper. We have a6
+ solute confidence in Judge A. NJ. Bar
ber, that he will perform his full dut
along this line, wisely, justly, an
with absolute impartiality.
, One of Ohio's most valuable an
important assets are her children
her citizens of tomorrow. The fl
ture of the state and nation depen
upon the character of the future eli
izenship and the character of the eli
izenship depends upon the physica
mental and moral development of th
: boys and girls of the present. On
il of the wisest set of laws ever place
t on the statute books are the Law
: governing the Juvenile court.

TREAT SEED WHEAT FOR SMUT

Considerable loss is caused each
year from sinking smut on wheat
This is the covered smut and many
times is not noticed on the wheat
while it is being harvested. 1t causes
a decided loss wherever present, not
only by reducing the yield but the
disagreeable odor Of wheat affected
caused it to be docked or refused at
the elevator.
The sinking smut can be practi-
cally eliminated by the formaldehyde
treatment, which also reduces scab
and other diseases of wheat. The
treatment is so simple and inexpan-
sive that no wheat grower should
take chances on loss from the above
causes. For further information, in
quire of Tho county agent.

Miles A BARRIER

The outstanding event of Monday
was the sudden death of Miles \.
Barber, father of Judge A. M. Bar
Der and brother of Fred A. Barber,
Of this city. Mr.. Barber has been a
longtime resident of this county and
no man in the county was held n
higher esteem than was Miles Bar
Der. A year or two ago he moved
from his farm in Gorham township
o Morenci, and his many friends felt
that he had earned respite from the
hard work of years on the farm. Of
late, Mr.. Barber seemed to be in
clined to espondency, but there was
10 particular reason; friends endeav-
ored to talk him out of his despon-
dent mood. Mrs. Barber has been
caring for her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Allen Barber, who is recovering
from an operation on her throat at
her home here in Wauseon, and last
Saturday Mr.. Barber was in Wau-
seon meeting many of his friends; it
was remarked by number Of them
that Mr.. Barber was not looking
we'll.
/ Melancholia had settled in his mind
and had him in its power before his
| family or friends were aware of the
extent to which it had worked upon
him.
Monday, he left his home at about
10 o'clock; his daughter prepared the
meal at the monday hour and her
father not returning, began a search
for him, Ne,ghbors assisted but il
was not until late in the afternoon
that he was found byshis daughter in
the upper part of the barn at the rea1
Of the lot, dead.
He had taken line from a buggy
harness, passed the end through the
loop that attaches to the bride
making a moose which was about his
neck; the other end of the line was
thrown over timber in the barn anC
secured in some fashion, so that Mr.
Barber had succeeded in hanging
himself. Only the deepest regret thai
Mr.. -Barber's life has thus come tc
ran untimely end exists in the mind.
Of his many friends. A man note,
for his integrity of character, hi
} neighborliness, and possessing thost
higher qualities which make a MAJ
well liked and respected by his fal
lows, there is no doubt but that tn
. dependency disturbed mental balanc
!, and his death resulted.

URGENT NEED OF NURSES

One IhOuSand week. overseas
A thousand graduate nurses must
be sent overseas each week for the
next two months to meet the require
ments of the Allied armies, according
to the word that has reached Wau-
seon from the Lake division head
quarters.
The "thousard-a-week" request to
the Red Cross was made by Surgeon
General Gorgas, and Miss Anna Glad
win, acting director Of the Lake diTi-
sion Nursing Bureau, has appealed to
Red Cross organizations throughout
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky to speed
up enrolment of eligible nurses.
In the six months ending July 81,
7O3 nurses had been enrolled from
these three states-537 from Ohio, 1856
from Indiana, and 30 from Kentucky,
/ Two hundred and ninety-one were en-
rolled in July. August and Septem-
her must each produce at least triple
that figure.
Approaching that public health
must not be permitted to suffer, the
Red Cross has been pushing its Home
Care for the Sick and its First Aid
I Care courses as well as cooperating
with other agencies in recruiting stu
dent nurses to fill the depleted ranks
Of the hospitals
Notice has gone out that the pay
of nurses going into active military
+ service has been increased to $75 &
month for overseas duty and $50 {
month for work in camps and canton
ments in America. This is in addi
ton to board and lodging and to the
same War Risk insurance privilege:
that are granted soldiers, sailors, anc
marines.
"Nursos will respond to this i'm
, perative call if the people of Wau
seon will conserve the nurse powe
and impress upon the nurses that tn
Greatest Mother in the World mus
! have thousands of them to meet it
obligation to the government" say
Miss Gladwin.

Horse Objects to Ford

A youno man named Good, who
lives on the Fred Grandy farm north
of Delta, riding horseback about 9
o'clock Monday evening, met Archie
Donahue driving a Ford on the road
near the farm of Sam Berkebile. The
horse became unmanageable and
jumped into the machine through the
windshield, throwing Mr.. Good from
his back and injuring him severely.
The horse sustained a broken leg and
cuts from the broken glass of the
windshield. making it necessary to
kill him on the spot to end his suf-
fering.
Still another accident in which a
horse figured on this fateful Mon
day occurred at Archbold when boy
named Crime was kicked in the face
by a horse and badly injured. The
boy was attempting to unhook a trace
The horse in fighting flies had gotten
one hind leg over the trace and the
boy was trying to extricate the horse
from an uncomfortable position.

Mr. Sam. \. Krieger suffered
broken leg as the result of an auto
accident. Near the Williams school
house, southeast of Wauseon, as he
with his daughter was driving his
car, they met a load of oats. In
turning out to give the road to the
load, Mr.. Krieger thought that his
daughter. who was driving, had not
turned out far enough and reached
over to turn the car farther out, with
the result that the car turned over
and Mr.. Krieger suffered a broken
leg.
1t was reported that Donald Ham
ontree had also suffered a broken
leg, but on investigation it was
learned that it was nearer a broken
head than a broken leg for Donald
