II. o. Jacobs, retired business man

of former Attorney General Wick
ersham that it would be a good
thing for this country to cancel the
debts our allies will owe us after

that England and France and Italy
have borne the burden and have lost

England and France even if she had

But the war would have been drawn
out into many long, weary years had
it not been for the entrance of this
country into it. 1t is true that the
great principle of saving the demo-
cracy of the world was at stake, but
the united States contributed large
ly to the sinews Of war in supplying
nations with food and ammunition.
"Moreover-and this is the most
important feature-it would be a
slngularly bad precedent to estab-
lish. If we were to cancel the debts
that are owed to us, every other ma
ton in the world that owes us would
want concessions from us. We shall
doubtless be the greatest creditor
nation on earth-we are today-but
with a national debt of many billions
to pay we can i'll afford to cross off
our list of creditors. The national
debt has mounted into many billions,
and it would not be fair to future
generations to ask them to decline
payment of money that is due them.

lions to settle such a question aud

THANKSGIVING DAY 1913.

The president has proclaimed Nov.
%, Thanksgiving day.
This Thanksgiving comes closer to
the original day than the years be-
tween; for that day was one of gen.
uine thanksgiving for perils escaped
In the history Of this nation there
have been several Thanksgiving
days that carried true thanksgiv-
ing, the Thanksgiving that followed
the close Of the civil war was one of
these. And this Thanksgiving will
approximate the relief and deep
thankfulness of that time and of
that earlier time when those who had
escaped wreck and starvation and the
deadly menace of savages inaugural
ed the day we shall celebrate so de-
voutly on the tWenty-eighth of this
month.
Some of the boys will be home to
keep this Thanksgiving with us; but
OF those who can not come the as
surance of their safety and the fore
knowledge that they will soon be
with us again will rest upon the day
like sunshine.
The world SO clouded a few days
ago has become d bright and splen-
did world a glad place to live in;
and life has taken on a new worth.
Again we have proved that the lib
eilleS Oh lllanKlnQ are lndllena Die.
The sunlight Of this Thanksgiving
sheds a beam far into the future
lighting up new and greater era Of
human freedom and equality of OPP
portunity. We know that wars must
cease for q long time and we hope
that we have furled the battle flags
for all time.
But in the present one great
thought fills all mindS--thG war is
over and the boys are coming home.
1t has been a stern and tremulous
waiting to know whether they should
come home again or pay the great
sacrifice. Some of them have paid
it. Thanksgiving day 1918 shall be
a memorial day for them and above
all that we shall be thankful for on
that day and succeeding days is the
grandeur Of their lives and the no.
bility Of their sacrifice
A wonderful Thanksgiving day, a

To Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DR.. FRANKLIN DUANE.

MANY people have been frightened by
| what they have read or heard of influenza.
| The more you fear the disease. the surer
| YOU are to get it. Go right about your
, business and forget it. As the disease is
pread principally by contact thru SneeZ-
| ing. coughing or splitting, many health au-
thOritieS have advised that everyone wear
| J game. which is daily washed and Satur
2tcd with a one to tive hundred. solution
| # zinc sulphate in water, aud then dried
| 3efOre wearing over the nose and mouth.
| You should avoid crowds. common drink
trength up by taking lots Of exercise in
he open air and plenty of nourishing food.
II You have any of such symptoms as
2hillincSs, nasal Instructions. flushed face,
| Headache, feverishness. reSticsSncSs, weak
| ness, or irritating cough, give up work at
once and go to bed. This Will save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some
such mild and nOn-irritating p.lySic as DR..
piercc's Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi-
Dally of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty Of clothes in bed so as to get
4 good sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take dose of two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to-
relieve the soreness of the muscles and
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose, prob
ably nothing is better than such a mild,
soothing, antseptic wash as DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy: 1t will give great
relief. Employed as a garglc, in same
strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can be borne. it quickly ar
rests soreness and dryncss in the throat
Influenza weakens the patients resist
ance to disease. so that there is danger of
bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To
combat this tendency and fOrtify the pa

The CHAUTAUQUA
Forecast of Stirring Program For
WauseOn Chautauqua This Year =
Former Features Retained - New
and Interesting Numbers Will Add
to Attractions.

In about three months the big
khaki tents which the Redpath Chau-
tauquas have had pitched in National
shipped North for use on the circuit
of which this city is a part. There
has not been letup in soldier en-
tertainment since the camps were
opened last fall, but the building of
Liberty Theaters in these concentra-
ton points makes it possible for the
tents to be brought back for service
on the regular loop.
While particular care will be taken
not to overdo the military and the
patriotic this coming season, the Red
path Chautauquas will present num-
Der of features that are timely and
full Of thrills. There will be speakers
who have tasted bitter service at the
front, and musical companies featur-
ing costumes and sketches that give
an insight into the lighter side of the
men in the trenches One. or two
happy surprises in this connection are
promised.
The big Kryl band, headed by the
world famous cornetist and director,
Bohumlr hryl OF Chlcago, Will be a
musical headliner. This will be the
largest and most expensive attraction
ever offered on the Redpath circuit
Also an opportunity will be given to
hear a group of Boston opera artists
and other singers of note.
Princess Watahwaso of the Penob.
scot Indian tribe of Maine, will be an.
other feature attraction. She is g
. leader among song birds, and in addi
ton to this she will relate Indiar
legends, appearing always in cos
tune.
The usual morning hour and stor!
features will be offered this summer
and if there is to be any change il
policy on the part of the Chautau
qua management, it will be in offer
ing program even stronger than il
previous seasons, if such a thing il
possible.

ATHLETICS AT OHIO WESLEYAN

Baseball is the order of the day at
Ohio Wesleyan. Coach H. H. House,
former member of Toronto's Inter-
national League team, has promis-
ing string of new men and expects
to develop a good team. He has
booked seventeen-gam schedule
which will commence the last week in
April. The team will be practically
all new men. Veesey, southpaw,
pitched three one-hit games in inter-
class baseball last spring.
With the arrival of GERRY" Ensign,
Wesleyan track prospects also took a
decided boost. Ensign is good for
three or four events and has shown
his class in Ohio College meets last
year. Captain HILBERT, Alexander,
Cole, Cherrington, Wee, and PadiTla
will take care of the track events.
Several new men are out for the
weights. A meet has been scheduled
with Cincinnati for March 20.
Gymnastic Director Horton has
turned out gym team which will
stack up against the Columbus Ath-
letic club athletes at Columbus on
March 10. Harris, who turned out a
winning basketball team this year, is
also taking charge of the spring foot
ball training.

thereby reflected credit upon their
high school and their home folks.

A HOWL|NC SUCCESS
Wauseons< Big Carnival Will Net About S15OOOO for
Red Cross Treasury Receipts from Various At
fractions and COncessiOns-Co!t and Pig
To Be Disposed Of

Two thousand two hundred and
entrance fee at the Big Carnival at
the Ford Sales Co.'S East Chestnut
street garage last Friday and Satur-
day evening, and every one of them
helped to make the affair the "great-
est show on earth"-for the time and
place; also, each one of the 1926 per-
sons left more or less large and small
change in the hands of the official
collectors, or "fleecers," whom they
met inside, until the grand total gross
receipts for the two evenings mounted
up to $1,375.13.
Acting under the principle "Simili-
bus Curantor," the committee in
charge of the arrangements for the
Carnival was absolutely autocratic in
its methods of directing people to
help raise money to help win the war
for Democracy: Persons were COM
manded what to do, and no excuses
or refusals were considered for a
moment; nor were any assurances of
assistance offered. One was told to
furnish a vaudeville show; another a
show for men; another show for
women; another a cane rack, a mu-
scum and so on; there was nothing
left for the persons receiving these
commands, but to go straightway and
do as they were told, and they did it
with a vengeance.
The result was the "midways" Of
six county fairs and a dozen street
carnivals, all condensed in one big
room = and the crowd! They were
packed into the big room like sar-
dimes; everybody was happy and ev-
erybody seemed to understand that
the great big purpose of the whole
thing was to raise money-lots of ii
for the Red Cross to purchase ma
terials for hospital and soldiers sup
plies. So they cheerfully "stood" for
everything = they were fooled; they
were feeced; they were f1im-fammed;
and they actually seemed to enjoy the
process. They were all loyal Ameri-
can citizens and they all knew that
every nickel and dime taken from
them was for the American Red
Cross and that they had value re-
ceived for every cent fourfold.
1t would be hopeless task to at
tempt to describe the interior of the
big garage last Friday and Satur.
day nights; it had to be seen to bt
appreciated. There were "Ballyhoos'
of all sorts, kinds and descriptions
there was music and noise-sweets
and bitters - things that were no
what they seemed and things thai
seemed what they were not-glittel
and show; paint and powder things
advertised as shocks that failed t
