NOTICE TO WOMEN
OF FULTON COUNTY
Council of National Defense

OOuAlOAk VI 4NOLAOAAdl OCAChSC
There are 48 divisions of the Coun-
ell of National Defense-one in each
state. The state chairman is ap-
pointed by the Federal Woman's com
mittee of which DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw rs chairman. THE Woman's
committee in Ohio serves in an adj
visory capacity to the men on the
Council of National Defense.
The Woman's committee is a chan
mel of communication by which the
government has access to the state,
the county, the town, and so on, down
to the individual woman.
Each state has its county organiza-
tons and Fulton is one of two coun-
ties in Jul state to have no such or
~ganization. 1t is therefore desir-
able that such an organization be
perfected in our county. To this end,
it is requested that the heads and
all officers of all women's organiza-
lions in the county: Women's clubs,
secret societies, Women's orders;
Oranges and Rural clubs, meet at the
court house on Friday; April &c, at
3 p. m, for the purpose of organ
izing a Woman's committee, Ohio
Branch, Council of National Defense.
1t is expected that these women
will elect their own permanent off
GERS, whose business it will be to pro-
mote all patriotic work in their com
munity.

Temporary Chairman.

LONG LEGAL BATTLE

The court room at Wauseon has
been the scene of a closely contested
legal battle this week, and as these
lines are written Thursday the end
is not yet in sight. The case is that
of the Metamora Telephone company
VS.. The Ogden Mutual Telephone
Company ct. al. The gist of the con-
troversy seems to be that the Meta
nora Telephone company very nat
urally objected to the. invasion of
their territory by the Ogden Mutual
Telephone company, and secured an
injunction restraining them from
placing telephones in the territory
controlled by the Metamora COM
pany. The basis of the present liti-
cation seems to be to have the in
junction made permanent. About
this and out of it and interviewer with
it are other questions that all help
to make a fine legal snarl.
Judge A. C. Bowersox is on the
bench and since early Monday morn
ing the legal battle has been waged
before him and is still in progress.
Witnesses from Lyons, Metamora,
and the surrounding territory filled
the court room Monday and Tuesday,
and the lawyers r at present max
ing their pleadings in the endeavor
to present the full merits of each side
of the case.

SAVINGS STAMPS
FTTr TON rnrfhfTvsG

FULTON COCGTIS STATUS
The Ohio War Sayings commttee
has informed c. D. sPerry of Wau-
seon, chairman of Fulton County War
Savings committee, that the total
sales of War Savings and Thrift
stamps in his territory, to April 4,
were $65,119. This is practically one
half of the amount which should have
been taken in War Savings stamps
for the same period, based on the &C
tual sales in Fulton county for the
first quarter in 1918. The per capita
absorption was $2.63 compared with
1888, which should have been reached
provided the county was maintaining
its quota from week to week. Actual
sales for the same period should have
amounted to $133,280. For 1918, the
United States Treasury department
has allotted to Fulton county a quota
of $494, 800, which means that stamps
must be bought at the rate of $3.50
every week.
Chairman Perry has advised the
state committee that a great many
Fulton county people have already
availed themselves Of the opportunity
offered by the government of buying
the limit allowed; that is, $1,000 ma
turity value, in War Savings stamps.
The price of this amount of stamps
during April is $3.50. During this
month one Baby Bond can be bought
for SAILS, for which the government
will pay SIS in January, 1928.
United States War Savings stamps
pay the investor A per cent, COM
pounded quarterly, which nets APT
per cent interest.

HELD FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER

On Wednesday of this week, Sher-
if Boone and Deputy McQuillin were
called to the home of Charles Robas-
ser in Fulton township to arrest Mr..
Robasser on a charge of assault with
intent to kill" Arraigned before
Justice Deyo, Robasser plead guilty
to the charge, saying that he would
not have done it if he had not been
drunk at the time. He was held to
await action of the grand jury and
was committed to the county Jail
pending furnishing of bail.
Mr.. Robasser was intoxicated and
was ~quarreling with his wife; his son
Frank, aged about 80, interposed in
behalf of his mother, and the father
left the table where the family was
sitting, procured a 32-calibre revol-
yer and pointed it at his son, who
grabbed his hand just as Robasser
Sr. was in the act of pulling the trig-
ger, thereby saving his life; the bull
let passed so close to the side of
Franks head that the lobe Of his ear
or that side bears the powder marks
The family told the officers that
on one other occasion Robasser in a
drunken frenzy had pointed a re-
volver at Mrs. Robasser's face, but
the gun missed fire.

FINE WHILE 1T LASTED

Corporal Charles Garman returned
to his post of duty at Camp Sheridan,
Montgomery, Ala, last Tuesday, end
ing a tenday furlough that was all
too short to suit his many friends
here, but which was fine while it
lasted. Charley managed to see a
good many of his friends take the
degree of Master Masonry in the
home lodge, and last Thursday even
ing 80 of his friends gathered at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Phil Garman, for a pot luck supper
and a reception to him. Everybody
present enjoyed both a good supper
and a good time. Charley contributed
to the entertainment of his guests by
giving an exhibition of the "wig wag'
signal drill. Some day, we do not
know how soon, Corporal Garman
will be driving a motor truck in q
supply train over in France. In the
meantime, he is getting all the train
ing of a soldier down at Camp Sher-
idan.

ANOTHER TEACHER CALLED

Z CALLED
Last Wednesday, Prof. W. J. Clark
for the past several years superin-
tendent of the public schools of Fay
cite, came to Wauseon and asked to
be indicted into the military service
as a selected man, and was sent un-
der orders to Camp Greenleaf, Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga, for the Medical De-
partment of the U. S. Army service.
Mr.. Clark was acting under authori-
zation from the office of the Surgeon
General at Washington, D. c., and
upon his arrival at Fort Oglethorpe
will enter upon a course in Military
Psychology, which will prepare him
for a position in the Army Medical
Corps. He will leave for Fort Ogle-
thorpe next Tuesday.
Mr.. Clark has been very success
full in his school work at Fayette and
his going will be a real loss to the
educational interests of the county,
as he is a member of the County
Board of School Examiners and has
taken an active interest in educa-
tional affairs and school athletics in
the county.
But these are days when our best
young men are being called from
places where they have proven them
selves most efficient, to help in meet
ing the more important and pressing
needs of the nation.

BERDELLA GORSUCH

An event that brought to a Wau-
seon home and to a large circle of
young people a shock of sad surprise
was the sudden departure from this
life on last Sunday morning, Of Ber-
dilla Gorsuch, daughter Of MI. and
Mrs. George E. Gorsuch. She was
a member of the Junior class in the
Wauseon High School. She attend
ed her classes at school up until Tues
day Of last week; was unable to
leave home for the balance of the
week, but was not considered by the
physician to be in a critical condi-
ton; but a weak heart failed at a
time in the progress of a case of
pneumonia when it should have been
strong, and she passed quietly away
into the Better Land, almost without
warning. She was of a gentle, low
ing disposition and was loved by her
classmates and teachers, by whom
she will be greatly missed. But no
where will her absence be more keen
ly felt than in the home circle, and
by the mother heart which has been
called to give n more of her treas
ures to the adornment of that place
in the Fathers House" where in the
fullness of time there shall come the
eternal Reunion.
Born in P~ettisville, October End,
1898, she was at the time of her de-
cease nineteen years, six months, and
nineteen days of age; a member OF
the Christian church, a consistent and
lovable Christian character, ready al
ways to do her part and more in the
ministries of life.
Funeral services were held at the
home on West Jefferson street Tues
day afternoon, Revs. Wharton anc
Evans officiating, and the Junior class
of the High School attending in {
body. Donald Grisier, Charles Cole
George Roos, Neil Mcintosh, Harold
Becker, and Louis Jodry acted as pal
bearers. Interment was in Wauseol
cemetery.

PLEASE DON'T FEEL HITRT

In the anvas for Liberty Bonds
now nearly completed in Wauseon,
there have undoubtedly been some
persons unintentionally missed by the
statesmen. We trust no one will feel
sighted, but that any one who has
been missed will put in his applica-
ton for bonds and show his patriot
ism just the same. Indeed it is even
more patriotic to subscribe without
solicitation than otherwise.
You may now subscribe at either
of the banks, at the post office, or at
the stores. Kindly make your appli-
cation for these bonds not later than
next Wednesday, and we believe that
any one who misses the opportunity
at this time to serve the cause of hu-
manity will regret it. Wauseon has
done splendidly, but let us all join in
making this campaign the greatest
success V e put over in Wauseon, and
let every n have a part in it.

RED CROSS NURSE ON DUTY

Miss Agnes Fryska is in receipt of
a letter from her sister, Miss Estelle
Fryska, who is now on duty as a
regular enlisted Red Cross Nurse at
Fort Stevens, Ore. Miss Fryska
writes that Fort Stevens is located
in what seems to her a wilderness,
106 miles west of Portland, with a
very small town half a mile away.
She writes that there are at present
LOO men at the Fort and 900 more
are expected soon. She writes of
four other nurses and many cases of
pneumonia; she has in her charge
four cases of pneumonia, three of
which are on their road to recovery.
The damp weather in that region
seems to retard convalescence in this
| disease.
