NOTICE TO Gas CoNsUMERs

The Ohio Gas, Light & Coke Com
pany hereby notifies the gas consum-
ers that the readiness to serve charge
of twenty-five (25) cents per month
per meter, on file with the Public Util-
tiles Commission of Ohio since Au-
gust 18th, 1917, has been withdrawn
and until further notice gas will be
sold at the regular price in effect pre-
vious to the time Of filing the SER
vice charge in Columbus. All readi-
ness to serve charges collected by the
company will be refunded to consum-
sre during the month of February,
1918, to the end that all patrons of
the company shall have equal and
fair consideration.
The Company had hoped that its
patrons would endeavor to cooperate
with the management by willingly
paying the readiness to serve charge
of twenty-five cents per month during
the period of the present inflated
price of coal and the heavy increase
in cost of all material and labor en-
tering into the manufacture of arti-
| fetal gas. The increased revenue of
the charge would have insured all
ideal gas service of the highest eff
cheney.
By far the greater number of gas
consumers realized the position in
which The Ohio, Gas, Light & Coke
Company was placed by the unusual
war conditions and were ready and
willing to apply the "Golden Rule"
principle to the twenty-five cents
monthly charge, but few had no de-
sire to be fair in the matter and in
sisted on dragging their municipali-
ties and the Gas Company into a le-
gal battle which would not only have
cost the Company and the towns in
4 which it operates many thousands of
dollars, but before a decision could
J, have been reached in the courts, the
unusual conditions making the readi-
J ness to serve charge necessary would
probably have ceased to exist.
, While the management of the COM
J pany believes the charge would have
, been upheld by the courts, for the rea-
son that it was so necessary to eff
} cient service, and such charge has
been upheld in favor of other compan-
) les, still the Ohio Gas, Light & Coke

D In order to raise the additional
0 funds necessary to give efficient gas
service during the present abnormal
0 and unusual period, the price of coke

is PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

About fifteen or twenty Wauseon
friends of the Rev. J. A. Wharton,
very pleasantly surprised him at his
home on West Elm street last Thurs
day evening. These were real friends
who have not forgotten his faithful
services as their pastor, and who
wished to let him know of their ap-
probation and at the same time help
him celebrate his birthday. It goes
without saying that a very pleasant
evening was enjoyed and that the ''tie
that binds" loyal friends in true Chris
tlan fellowship was strengthened ma
terially.

keep YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
The United States Government Never Has Defaulted
One of Its Bonds-Face Value of Liberty Bonds
Will Never Shrink-LOss is Impossible
They Will Go Above Par

The Liberty Bond is a government
bond-as good a bond as the govern
ment has ever issued. Just as safe.
Just as reliable.
Don't forget this.
Nor that in all its history the gov
ernment has never defaulted one of
it's bonds. There is no better secur-
ity on earth. 1t is as good as green
back, so far as it's safety is con-
cerned.
It pays you 4 per cent interest
annually, just as much as you can get
for your greenback at any savings
bank. And it's face value will never
shrink.
There have been times when gov
ernment bonds went below par, just
as in recent months Liberty Bonds
have sold below par. But there was
never any valid reason why they
should have done so.
And they never stayed there so very
long at time.
Since the war of 1872 there has
never been an issue of United States
bonds that failed to go above par.
Some dropped below for a time, but
they always rose again.
Due in Sold at
5 per cent bonds, 1865. :. 127 in 1868
6 per cent bonds, 1881 :. .123 in 1873
per cent bonds, 1907. :. 130 in 1889
per cent bonds, 1925. ;. .139 in 1901
2 per cent bonds, 1880. .109
And the day is coming when these
Liberty Bonds will sell above par.
Where the government bonds went
below par there was always just one
reason: Some one needed money
quickly. In order to get it bonds were
offered on the market for whatever
price they would bring. This hap
pened usually in tight money periods.
With normal conditions they went
back to normal values.
Loss is impossible on a government
bond investment Back of these bonds
are all the wealth of the nation, some
thing more than $250,000, ,O00, 900.
Every dollar Of this wealth can be
taxed by the government for the re-
demption of its bonds.
So long as there is United States
its bonds will be the best investment
on earth. No other country is so rich;
no other has such security back of its
bonds.
Don't sell your Liberty Bonds. Keep
them. You will be rewarded by hav-
ing the price equal and exceed what
you paid for them.

A Punil,s Point of View

After the foregoing was in type an article
prepared for the Tribune by John outcalt was
presented for publication. From this article
we are glad to print the following extracts
A Service Flag has been dedi-
Gated to the boys who at one time
or another walked the halls of the
Wauseon High School, but who
have offered their services and their
lives to their country.
The 81 blue stars and the one
golden star, nesting in the field
Of purity and encircled by the fam.
ing red of bravery, make flag
well deserving of the pride anC
honor bestowed upon il.

may be. The following list o1
names are of those who are from

Sam:

This total is still incomplete, as
there is still the pay of the extra
guard employed to stay with Lehman
during the nights that he was in the
county jail, and there may be other
minor items that have been over
looked. This of course does not in
clude the fees of attorneys for the
defense.
Had the prosecution failed to con-
vict the prisoner the county would
have had the entire S6173.25 to pay;
as it is, the county's share of the
expense is S376490. The judge, pros
ecuting attorney and other court Of
ficials are of course salaried officers
and their salaries would have been
paid just the same if the trial had
never been held.
The case will come before the
Court of Appeals for their review and
decision at the May term of that
court.

HIGH SCHOOL SERVICE FLAG
Service Flag Bearing Fiftyeght Stars-One For Each
Member of WauseOn High School Now in The Mill
tary or Naval Service of The United States Ded-
icated With Appropriate Ceremonies

One Of the most significant pro-
grams ever given in the Wauseon
High School was that Of last Mon
day morning, when the Service Flag
Of the High School was dedicated
Twenty or more citizens were pres
ent and the exercises from start to
finish were very impressive. The
large flag bearing 81 stars was dis
played on the platform of the as
sembly room. One star is to be added
for Wesley Alderman, who just last
Saturday enlisted in the service. One
golden star in the center of the flag
is for the first of our Wauseon boys
(Walter Howard, class of '13) to be
mustered into the Army Immortal.
A "Golden Starl" 1t stands for one
of our clean, upright, splendid Amer
lean young men; fit to live and un-
afraid of death, nor any other power
save hypocrisy and meanness in their
own soulsl
Gone cover the top" and across "no
mans land" into the territory of
Eternal Victory and Peace Everlast-
ingl
Every star stands for a boy from
this school, boy who is proving the
loyalty and patriotism of this town
and this school by his service under
the Stars and Stripes. Some are over
seas, some are on the high seas, and
others are scattered about in this
country, awaiting the word to go for
ward to sweep the forces of arrogant
autocracy and brutal might, stained
as they are with the innocent life.
blood of oppressed and outraged hu.
manity, forever from the earth. They
are in practically every branch of the
Army and Navy service; but wher.
ever they are, we know they are do
ing their duty. Thirty-eight large
stars stand for 38 graduates of the
High School; while 10 smaller star:
2 stand for 10 who were students il
the High School but did not complete
their High School work in this school

penitentiary stated that during the
month of December alone, there were
20 commitments for murder in that
institution; two of these are sentenced
to the electric chair.
There are at present 1000 inmates
in the Ohio Penitentiary and this fact
raises the questions as to whether or
not crime is on the increase in Ohio
and if so what are the reasons.
Looking at the Lehman case from
financial point of view, it seems
a costly thing for the county to in
duige in murder case. The sher-
ifs office and the clerk as we'll have
labored to keep the costs down to
the minimum, as for instance, in the
matter of service of subpoenas on 305
witnesses, the mileage fees of the
sheriff was kept down to $43.60; Of
these 305 witnesses 238 different
persons reported some Of these were
called twice.
The bill of costs for the state, i. e.,
to be paid by the state, amounts to

The people of Israel loved Aaron for
his gentle heart and kindly ways, and
often when man was about to sin, he
would think to himself: eff I sin, how
dare I lift mine eyes to Aaron's face?
I, to whom Aaron has been so kind,
cannot stoop to do evil" And because
Aaron had helped so many people to
love good and to avoid evil, when he
died the very angels lamented his death,
because he had taught men to practise
goodness and to love peace.
