THE SOLDIERS CHANCES

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the indi-
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out of the war unscathed,
or at least, not badly injured.
Based on the mortuary statistics
of the allied armies, a soldiers
chances are as follows:
Twenty-Five chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from
disease in the army than in civil life
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is mer
died from disease to 1 from bullets
in this war man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fightine men wht
do not escape scatheless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to tn
wounded and their dependents and t.
the families and dependents of thos
who make the supreme sacrifice fo
their country.

SUMMER MOVEMENT
OF WINTER SUPPLIES

Mr.. A. R. Davis, travelling freight
agent of the Wabash railway COM
pany, was in Wauseon last Monday
in the interests of a campaign to
urge upon the community the move
ment of winter supplies and traffic
over the railroads during the summer
months in order to relieve transpor-
tation facilities of as much traffic as
possible next winter and prevent a
recurrence of the congested condition
which existed at that time. Mr.. Da-
Wis was giving publicity to a circular
that has been issued to Central West
ern railroads at the instance of W. G.
McAdoo, director general, U. S. Rail-
road Administration, by Hale Holden,
regional director. The circular urges
the railroad companies to conduct a
campaign to induce industries to store
sufficient material to meet their needs
this coming winter during the summer
months; to urge wholesale firms and
distributors to persuade customers to
take immediate delivery of goods or
dered or required; to encourage use
of storage space for factory products
nearest to point of ultimate corsump-
ton; TO impress Shippers ana recelV-
ers of freight with the difficulties Of
transportation likely to occur during
the winter and the necessity of pre-
; pairing for blizzards and zero weather
during the summer; that the storagt
of fuel oil is of especial Importance
and users should be urged to stool
up for their own protection and t.
urge that the work of the Fuel Ad
ministration in the storage of Goa
be supplemented by the efforts of 10
cal officers assigned to that work.

LEAGUE of AMERICAN PATRIOTS

At the meeting of the League of
American Patriots of Fulton county
last Friday evening, the Rev. ]. S.
Engles, pastor of the United Breth-
eren church of Mcclure, delivered
most impressive address. Mr.. Engles
showed a thorough understanding of
the present situation in Europe and
depicted in very convincing way the
menace to the civilized world of a
peace with Germany at this time. Mr..
Engles was repeatedly interrupted by
applause. The address was intensely
practical and of great value; the only
pity is that there were not more pres
ent to hear it and receive the benefit.
The league voted to suspend the
meeting this week on account of the
Chautauqua. The next meeting will
be held on Friday evening, August
9, at the court house and there will
be a stirring address by the Rev. De
Groat, besides other important busi-
ness.
The league, through its investigat-
ino committees, is constantly at work
and the work that it is doing is none
the less important and essential be-
cause there are no public trials; these
are not the primary purpose of the
league, rather to develop throughout
the county 100 per cent loyalty and
cooperation with the government III
prosecuting the war to victorious
conclusion. The public trial of cit.
izen is the last resort; our country
needs active, loyal Americans rather
than sullen inactive un-Americans
and it's part-a large part of th'
work of this organization is to bring
the loyal American citizenship of thi!
! county up to its very highest poin
of efficiency.
! The league is also acting as clear
ing house for rumors current owe
, the country that would be in their eff
feet detrimental to many of the loca
, war activities; one case in point /
that of the rumor that Mr.. L. II. Deyc
who is the secretary of the War Ches

IN APPLE ORCHAR

v NACAllON LIN AffLL OhShARD
Having been employed as manager
for the season of this orchard seven
years ago, the owner sent an earnest
appeal to the writer to assist in Sc
curing his crop of 5000 bushels of
Yellow Transparents this year.
The above orchard is owned by Mr..
L. B. Yaple, a prominent attorney
acre farm located to the west on the
nils overlooking the city, with Camp
Sherman at left and near enough to
camp so that we enjoyed hearing the
lusty cheers from that quarter on the
receipt of news of the recent allies
success across the water.
The orchard covers about 125 acres,
40 acres of full bearing age, 40 acres
just coming into bearing, and 45 more
of younger trees. Of the 40 acres of
full bearing age, 10 acres are of the
Yellow Transparent variety, and pro-
duced this year upward of 5000 BUSH
els of merchantable apples. The crop
was sold this season to a Cleveland
firm for $3.50 per bushel for fancy
grade and $1.75 for "choice" grade
About three-quarters Of the crop
graded fancy" and had seasonable
rains come much larger percentage
would have grown to "fancy" size
there being literally no defective
fruit by insect injury or fungus dis
ease.
So efficient has been the spraying
in this orchard for a number of years
that Mr.. Yaple felt free to offer al
the beginning of harvest, 81 for the
irst wormy apple, and at the end Of
the season the dollar had not beer
claimed. He estimates his crop Of
winter apples at around 5000 barrels
for which he hopes to get an average
of SIS per barrel.
I Two power sprayers with 2800-gal
lon tanks each, and two lines of hos,
equipped with "spray guns" for noz
zles are kept busy during the spray
ing season.
Some of the equipment bought fo
this seasons use consists of 40 bar
rels of lime and sulphur solution, 20
pounds of sulphate copper for max
ing Bordeaux Mixture, one ton ar
senate of lead, material for 5000 bar
rels, 5000 bushel baskets, LOO
pounds white paper for lining bas
kets. He has built a boarding hous
with sleeping quarters above to &C
commodate 30 men, and pays $2.5
and board per day for help durin
picking season; showing that to cor
t troll insect enemies and fungus dis
eases, secure containers in which t
D ship the fruit, pay prevailing price
) for labor to gather and pack it, mean
e an outlay of money that is somewhs
\ hazardous.
The evening before leaving the "
: pie home we went with the famil
to high point on the farm ove

The biggest users of commercial
vehicles in the United States are not
the merchants or manufacturers, but
the farmers. Statistics given the B.
F. Goodrich Rubber company show
that trucks engaged in the haulage
of grain, produce, truck and live
stock in the rural districts head the
list with 1879 during 1917. Next
ranks manufactures with 65,928, and
then retailers with 64,486. Accord
ing to the figures there are 238 COM
mercial vehicle manufacturers in the
United States. Ninety thousand
trucks were made during 1917, and ii
is estimated that the 1918 production
will go over the 100000 mark.

shocker was. He said, 81 do the
shocking; my boy is in France, and
my wife will be out here as soon as
she gets her dishes washed to run the
binder" didn't give him a card; I
sneaked away. I did not want him to
know who I was. 1 would not make
a canvass of Fulton county in har-
vest time, for any four offices in the
county. I will not be around to
bother you, but will save my money
for the Red Cross.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

This war is not to be won by one
man. or one thousand men or one mil
lion men, or one million people 1t

ual share of the responsibility The
more powerful and effective the
American forces are the shorter will

the greater the number of American
soldiers who will return home victor,
ioUs.
Every American who economies II

OHIO BABY-SAyING CAMPAIGN
Thirty-nine of the 88 Ohio coun-
ties in May saved the quotas Of baby
lives assigned to them in the nation
wide 'baby-saving" campaign which
opened April 1. Twenty-four coun-
ties registered losses as compared
with the average month of 1916, the
year upon which quotas are figured.
The remaining 25 counties saved some
babies, but not enough to meet their
quotas.
Figures to this effect, compiled by
the State Department of Health,
were given out by the department
today.
The saving in the state as whole
was 165. The monthly quota as
signed for saving in Ohio is 376.
Fulton county saved three in May,
the results for the month being sum-
married as follows: Number OF
deaths in May, 1; average deaths per
month, 1916, 4; saving in May, 8;
quota to be saved each month, 1918,
1.
The purpose of the "baby-saving''
campaign, which is to run through
an entire year, is to reduce America s
annual total of deaths of children
under years old by 100000. Ohio
has been assigned 4,510 of these lives
to be saved, and these $40 have beer
apportioned among the counties ac-
ording to their respective baby death
totals in 1916.
The May saving was considerably
better than Aprils, but the heath
department accompanied its an
nouncement of the figures with {
warning that the danger to babies i:
extremely great during the hot sum
ner months. The department Offer
to give free advice to Ohio mothers
on summer care Of babies.
