R. C. KNITTERS. ATTENTION!

OuTluR CQe past week OS1 nurses
enrolled for the Red Cross service
from the Lake Division alone. The
showing of student nurses is also en-
couraging. This is only the begin
ming, however, and nurses will be in
constant demand to meet the needs
of the government.
One thousand six hundred and
ninety-nine families of enlisted men
were given assistance by the Home
Service of the Lake Division Red
Cross during the month of May.
The fact that Fulton county must
furnish 1000 pairs of socks and 100
sweaters by the first of September,
means that every knitter must be at
work. In the directions published
last week the heel direction should
have read "knit one row and purl one
row for % rows" instead. of "knit 2
and purl g." From this tine all he'll
NETS and wristlets must be of khaki
instead of gray. Do all casting on
and binding off loosely.
One of the most curious contribu-
tions that has ever reached the Amer
lean Red Cross is that of $18.75 from
the Chinese Sunday school in Cali
fornia to be used for the benefit of
Chinese coolies in France.

COUNCIL MEETING
New Traffic Ordinance Passed First
Reading of Ordinance to Grant
Franchise for Natural Gas-Ordi-
nance to Improve Alley Joint
Meeting With Clinton Township
Trustees. -.

The first business before the coun-
Gil last Monday night after the read
ing of the minutes of the last meet
ino was the passage of the new Traf-
fic Rules and Regulations. The COM
mittee presented its report in the
form of an ordinance which was
placed on it's first reading; amend
ments were made, and under suspen-
sion of the rules the ordinance was
placed upon it's second and third read
ings and passed. 1t was later de-
cided to publish the ordinance in
booklet form for distribution among
owners and drivers of vehicles.
A matter concerning the crossing
of corner of the garden lot Of Dora
Dye with a sewer ditch by Mr.. Lu-
ther Shade was brought before the
council by Councilman George E.
Gorsuch. Referred to the city So
licitor, Mr.. Paxson gave it as his opin-
ion that the matter was outside the
jurisdiction of the council and was
purely a private matter between the
parties interested.
Mr.. H. A. Dempsey, who is the
head of the organization engaged in
having the oil well drilled on the
Shaffer farm southwest of town, was
present and presented an ordinance to
give franchise to Mr.. Dempsey to
lay mains and pipes in the village OF
Wauseon for the purpose of conduct
ing natural gas to consumers in the
village. The ordinance was placed
on its first reading. Among the i'm.
portant provisions of the franchise
is a rate of 81 cents per thousand
cubic feet of gas, with a discount o1
two cents if bills are paid within ter
days of the time they are due; this
rate to be effective for five years
Pipes are to be laid wherever there
is an average of one customer to each
! 100 feet of pipe. Mr.. Dempsey is
very sure of being able to provide gas
to supply Wauseon in abundance, anc
says that he has the assurance thai
at least one factory of importanc
will locate in Wauseon when he ha
succeeded in placing natural gas il
this village. He is anxious to hav
the matter adjusted as soon as pos
sible in order that he may procee'
with putting down the necessary well
this season.
Mr.. Stuckey was present to reques
that tile be put down for sanitar
sewer outlet which runs through
portion of his farm; the request wa
referred to the sewer committee an
the street commissioner, with powe
to act.
The Trustees of Clinton townshi
were present and went into. joint ses
sion with the council to consider tn
report of the building committee O.
repairs on the township and cit
building, which are imperative. Tn
trustees were informed of the de
mands of the State Board of Healt
for the placing of toilets in the build

PREAMBLE

/
WHEREAS, Our nation with other
nations, is engaged in war with the
| German Empire, and
! WHEREAS, The German Govern
ment has in times past, and at the
present time is endeavoring to work
injury to the United States Govern
ment and its people by destruction of
property and lives, through spies and
agents Of the German Government,
who are instigating such deeds with
in our own boundaries, and who are
spreading sedition and disloyalty
among the citizens of this country by
means of false reports and rumors;
NOW THEREFORE, We the mem
bers of the League of American Pa
triots of Fulton County, Ohio, do
hereby
RESOLVE, That we call upon all
citizens of this county to give their
full and unreserved loyalty to our
government in this time of National
stress, and while the continuance of
this government is being threatened
by foreign enemy who stops at no
barbarity, cruelty or inhumanity to
attain its enc. and crush all govern
ments except its own.
The Imperial German Government
has unmistakably and repeatedly vio-
lated its word of honor pledged by
; itself as Nation; it has violated ev-
erv International law; it has willfully
maliciously and unnecessarily circu-
lated, and caused to be circulated alb

e gard to the U. S. Government or de-
malls of German atrocities and remain
loyal to the. government whose pro-
lection and benefits he enjoys
That every citizen of this county
give his unhesitating and undivided
l. support morally, physically and finan-
l. cially to the government in the prose
d cution of this war and to all of the
# various agencies which are and shall
h be cooperating with the Government
: in the prosecution of the war, and in
h our opinion, the gift of the person

4 and his gift held in as high regard
IF as that of the person who can anG

PROGRESSING
ON CLUSTER LIGHTS
WIRING AND CONCRETE FouN-
DATIoNS WELL ADVANCED
Iron Posts Will Garry Cross Arms to
Which the Lights VIII
Be Attached

Superintendent Jones of the NUM-
cipal light plant went right to work
erecting the cluster lights on and
around the court house square and if
rain had not interfered with the job
of putting down the concrete founda-
lions the preliminaries would have
been well nigh complete.
All wires are enclosed in galvan-
lied iron pipes which are laid I'M
derground about a foot or more and
lead directly to the concrete bases
upon which the iron posts rest, thence
up through the center OF the concrete
to the lights proper.
There will be quite a number of
posts and each will carry several
lights. One is placed at each corner
Of the square and one in the center
of each side while several will be
around the court house square and
one on each side of the. cement walk
in front of. the building. The work is
an improvement much to be COM
mended and will add a great deal to
the appearance of the square at night.

LOCAL SOCIETY INVESTS
SAVINGS IN WAR STAMPS
DAUGHTERS OF THE coNFEDER-
AcY USE MONUMENT FUND
Action on Monument Erection is De-
ferred Until the Great Human
Conflict is Over

Gordon Chapter Of the Daughters
of the C~onfederacy met a few days
ago and among other important
business transacted decided to invest
its monument fund" in war stamps
in order to aid THE government in
it's time of need.
Quite a neat sum of MONEY had
been laid aside by the Daughters for
the purpose of erecting a Confederate
monument in this city. Part of this
money was on deposit here and part
in Baton Rouge. All or practically
all of this fund has been converted
into war stamps and the matter Of
erecting the monument has been de-
ferred until after the war is over.
They were advised by competent au-
th)rity that the investment in saw
ing stamps was the best method as
these stamps were readily canverti-
BILE into cash when the cash would
be needed. Needing this advice, the
monument fund was turned over to
the government without delay and
when the war is over it is the inten-
ton of the local chapter to convert
their stamps into money, which, to-
gether with whatever interest the
tidy sum will bring, ought go a long
way toward paying for the proposed
to those who fought and
bled and died for the Lost Cause.
