the world by the way Of Augusta.
Ark, and went into the public school
there. She was able to complete the
course in Little Rock and got the fin
ishing touch for an education at Phi
lander Smith College.
During her childhood days she pos
sessed a remarkable ability as a
reader, and recited as little girl
for who should last the longest. She
kept this up until it was found that
she was destined to make her place
among the great dramatic readers.
Preparation was the next station. She
went to the Denver School of Ex-
preston and now for the past seven
years she has been inspiring our
young girls all over the country. She
is a talented young woman. She is
much sought for and in my opinion
she should be. 1t is a great thing
to come in touch with thought.
Coming back to the Poro, l have
met some men down here. | had a
room first next to Roland Hays, that
man who has such a wonderful voice
and who is in the class of artists, like
the one l have just been writing
about. Then next to my room were
Editor John H. Murphy of the Afro
American, and Editor George L.
Knox, editor of the Indianapolis
Fireman. / thought it was a great
thing to be able to mingle with great
editors. Then came along Harry C..
Smith of the Cleveland Gazette, Or
land A. Forte of Cleveland, Nelson
Crews of ]. L. CASTOR, j. Finley Will
son of Washington, d. c., l. Willis
Cole of Louisville, KY, Charles H.
Stewart of Indianapolis, Ind, W. E.
King of Dallas, Tex, R. S. Abbott of
Chicago, ILL.,, and ]. A. Josey of
Madison, Wis.
Now what do you think of me be-
ing able to shake hands with them
big newspaper men, and then there
were some real singers on hand and
got to shake hands with them, too,
and some of them were as friendly
as could be with me. In this class /
find George R. Garner, Jr. of Chi
cago. Have you ever met him? He
held up the good name of great, big
Chicago, and in my opinion is one of
our very best. That sweet voice will
just make the hair stand up and
listen. / don't know why they call it
tenor, but that is some kind of sing
ing. If you don't know any more
about tenor than do, take my word
for it that he is some great singer.
You can just see his voice going up
yonder when he pokes out his chest
and lets his head back just a little
bit.
Chicago was well represented.

The Broad AK regrets to state the
Death of Mr.. Louis Stewart Jr., late
Of the Eight Regiment. He was taken
sick while at Camp Logan, Houston,
Texas, and when the regiment was
sent over seas he was released from
the army hospital and sent to his
home in Chicago. He was bright
young man, rated very high on all the
principles of goodness, and was well
liked by all who knew him. Mr. and

is one of the best trained young wom-

not a singer, she has a musical voice,

packed house she spoke Saturday
night, and all seemed eager to hear
every word she uttered, and did not
want even a sound to get away. She
was saying something. 1t is indeed

DR.. Waring said some real helpful
things to the people. She told about

it was a great evening.
Bishop Levi J. Coppin made one
more big speech, and he was fully in

business. eHisalmost up to the
man who invented speaking.

C. Simmons, the colonel, was on hand
and spoke out in church. He made
a good talk, but some of the people
declared that he was not himself.
He has been making so many speeches

that he should be a little tired at

MAYOR ISSUES
CLOSING NOTICE
Spanish Influenza Spreads in the
COunty-Sch0ols in Western Part
of County Closed-Or;gin of Dis
ease-How to Guard Against it.

Very suddenly, almost before we
were aware of It the Spanish Influen-
"a has settled down for a visit, we
hope not a prolonged one in our
county. Wauseon and Archbold
week caught the latter part of last
week. Fayette did not realize that
the disease was with them until Tues
day: By Wednesday the epidemic
had spread until it was found nes-
essary to close the schools in prac-
tically the entire Western half of the
county. Fortunately up to this time
the fatalities among the cases actu-
ally in the county have been very few
though there have been many SER
iously i'll.
The first epidemic of influenza
visited tn country in 1647 ard was
brought here from Valencia Spain,
hence the name, Spanish Influenza:
Since that time there have been
numerous epidemics of the disease
that have spread not only in tn S
country, but as in 1SS9-90, over the
entire civilized world
Ordinarily the fever lasts three to
four days and the patient recovers
when death occurs it is usually the
result of compl cation.
Guard against the disease by fol-
lowing the rules issued by the Amer
ican Red Cross which appear in an
other column of this paper. Keer
the body strong and able to fight of
disease germs; plenty of fresh air
Wholesome food, avoid crowds anc
breathing the ar breathed out by an.
other person Following is Mayor
Bulger's nation; comply with

BURNED To DEATH
Will Bell Meets Terrible Death in An
Out Building on His Own Premises
Sunday MOrning-Funeral Thurs
day-Leaves wife and Four Small
Children.

One of the tragedies that brings a
shock of horror to all who are in any
way connected with it or acquainted
with its detairs occurred in the early
hours of last Sunday morning and
resulted in the death of VIM. Bell of
Cherry street.
Harvey Reynolds who lives next
door to the Bell home on Cherry
street was awakened about $3.50 Sun
day morning by a cracking noise;
looking from his window he saw the
glare of fire near at hard, he hur-
riedly dressed ahd going out saw that
an out bu lding in the rear of the
Bell home was in flames: The glare
of the fire also aroused Mr. and Mrs.
Clayton Huffman who reside on East
Chestnut street, the rear of the Huff
man lot joining or nearly so the rear
of the Bell lot. Mr.. Huffman reach
ed the scene of the fire about the
same time as Mr.. Reynolds; they
saw through the burning building the
body of VIM. Bell in sitting posture
leaning against stove that was
stored in the building, it was partially
consumed by the flames. The men
secured a piece of 2x4 and pushed
the burning building away from the
body; then with "a long saw-horse
they succeeded in dragging the body
from the fire.
Coroner Bishop was notified and
later Edgar & VanRensselaer trans
ferred the body to their undertaking
rooms where assisted by undertaken
N. C. Wright the body was cared for
1t was unrecognizable; the face arms
and legs being only masses of charred
flesh, but partially covering the
bones.
Mr.. Bells family had not seen him
since late Saturday afternoon or even
ing. Parties have been reported as
saying that he was in Archbold Sat
urday evening and that he returned
from that place to Wauseon and then
went to Gerald. A watch which was
found with the body had stopped at
1:25. The supposition is that Bel
in an intoxicated condition had gone
to the out building with lighted
cigar, which falling into pile OF pa
pers which had been stored there
ignited them and the fire failing tc
awaken him from his stupor his death
resulted.
Bell has been for some time past
employed by the Supetrior Iron &
Manufacturing Company and was
providing well for his family. He
was a quiet unobtrusive and indus
trious citizen, but unfortunately fol
himself, his family and his friends
was addicted to the use of intoxicat.
ing liquors.
He leaves a wife and four children

"CARRY-ON"

1t was born of this great world
war, originated by the men who have
faced and rushed through the battles
hell, suffered tortures and pains that
beggar the conception Of the widest
imaginat on, looked upon scenes hor-
rible beyond description and endured
beyond the believable endurance of
a human being. These are the men;
these who have trodden the white hot
ways of the inferno of war for the
past four years and who st II press
on through those awful ways until
this inferno shall be conquered for all
humanity forever; that originated the
phrase heard on so many lips, print
ed on so many pages-"Carry- on"
The men of England, Canada and
France wrote it's mean ng in their
own blood through three long years
and those boys of our blood and
pride, the clear-eyed, white-souled
lads of America, caught its spirit and
signif cance and since Chateau Thier-
ry have kept on defining, not in
learned words, but in burning, living
deeds, the meaning of "Carry-on."
In the face of overwhelming OBJ
stacles; with Death himself grinning
in their faces; while comrades were
being crushed and mangled around
them; in spite of hunger and cold
and WEAKNESS that in itself is like
unto death; in spite of failure of re-
Inducements, ia lure of supplies of
food and ammunition-they Garry
on"
Not for them to parley or argue;
not for them to ask what others do,
or do not do; not for them to offer
excuses, though God knows they have
many and justifiable. For them but
one thing and that-to "Carry-on."
When or how the end of the war
shall come they are not stopping to
ask. A compromise of peace that
shall release them from the fearful
sacrif' ce to which they must subject
themselves every moment of the con-
flict, they scott at. Their eyes have
beheld unspeakable horrors; hideous
atrocities. And their eyes have also
beheld "the glory of the coming of the
Lord"
The Lord of justice and righteous
ness and peace and humanity. Until
that vision shall haye been realized
there is but one thing they do
"Carry-on."
AS they have defined its meaning;
IS they are day by day and night by
night defining it; "Carry-on" means
do your duty to the utmost. Do
what you are called on to do and can
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1918-10-18

do and keep on doing it. Never side
step, never shirk; keep on and on and
on until there is for you nothing
more that you can do, or the glory Of
the west" or the ultimate victory of
r ght over might and humanity over
bestiality.
From the battle-scarred fields of
France and Belgium; from the far
flung battle line; from the seas
fraught with hidden dangers; from
the clouds where perils play hide and
seek with the aviator; from every
place in earth or sea or air where
there is an American soldier or sailor
there comes to the people of this land
he calls his own, the land of his
home, a message. It's flashed from
everything they do. It's transmitted
by Their bearing and attitude. 1t
sounds from the German prison
camps and the hospital cots. 1t
speaks with the voice of thunder
from the casualty list of thousands.
It's the message of Our Boys to us
just this-"C -"CARRY-ONY'
It can only be answered as they de-
serve, in manner worthy of them
and of ourselves; by our actions.
Words cannot answer it. Fine
phrases, well-rounded sentences,
flights of oratory, loud applause,
cheers or tears; none of these can
answer it! Criticism of the way the
war is conducted, mawkish pity for
the German people, excuses, personal
preferences, prejud;ces and peevish-
ness; none of these can answer it!
The only way to answer the mes
sage from our boys to US is to do
everything every individual can do
to help WIN this war (not bring
about a diplomatic compromise with
the fiends of hell who constitute the
German government) and keep on do
ing it until these "boys of ours" have
chained the "beast of Berlin" for all
time and all eternity.
While we have a dollar left to loan
or give; while we have an ounce Of
energy to fold a compress or stitch a
garment; while we have strength to
do thing or speak a word-"CAR-
RY-ON."
And may God have mercy on the
soul of the Judas-man or woman
who for the price of his or her COM
fort, pleasure or profit, shall place in
jeopardy for a single instant a single
life of one of these, "Our Boys" who
are passing through Gethsemane to-
day for us and for all humanity.
