electric lines found themselves over
loaded TO point where they had to
Roller for help.
The last cars leaving Baltimore to
reach Annapolis in time for the mid
dies TO report could not handle the
business. The management of the
Short Line to aid its young partons,
telephoned to the office of Admiral
Eberle, superintendent of the Acad-
emy and explained the situation to
him, so that due allowance was made
for those OF the young fellows who
through no fault of their own were
tardy in reporting.

and away the biggest regiment OF
midshipmen ever under instruction at
the Academy spent today getting set
tied intheir new quarters. Many of
them have been assigned to the Just
completed new wing of Bancroft Hall

Every boy and girl should enter
the army of School Sammies. Every
one buying War Savings Stamps
should hand their coupons to some
boy or girl, so they may have a rank
in the army and wear a button. Uncle
Sam is anxious for this army of
young patriots. They are helping to
pave the way to Berlin.
BOYS and girls, do not think that
in case you win one of the prizes you
are to give it to the Red Cross. It
will be yours. and the committee has
no other intention. 1t is anxious that
every boy and girl obtain some rank
in the School Sammies, and with &
little effort they may do so.
1t seems that at some banks anC
post Offices in the county, the coupo.
tickets have not been given out with
the purchase of War Savings Stamps
In such cases, the coupons may still
be given out for all stamps purchase,
since June II. In view of this fact
the committee. has decided to hav,
another count of the tickets Friday
Aug. %. This gives every boy an,
girl an opportunity to look up thos
who have pledged to buy stamps an
secure credit for the purchases.
The final count at the Fair Ground
will determine the Winners of tn
prizes and also the ranking of tn
School Sammes.

WauseOn Soldier Boy Enjoying Rest
ing Spell in France-NewtOn Smith
Finds a Place in France Where He
Would Like to Live.

Corporal Newton Smith has been
having a leave of absence over in
France for the purpose of resting up,
and his experiences as contained in a
letter home from which we quote win
be of interest to his many friends IN
this vicinity:
July IA, 1918.
Will drop you a line to let you
know that l am all o. K. and every
thing going fine; have been having
a fine time and getting to see a
good many things that in civilian
life would have cost considerable
money. Uncle Sam sure picked out
a fine place for his soldiers on
leave; it sure is great.
We have very fine hotels, and it
does not cost US cent for lodging
or eats. l will hate to go back to
camp.
This is a place l sure would like
to live in; it is practically sum-
mer resort ands most of the veal
thy people of France put up here.
The Y. M. c. A. here has won
derful place and they sure are do
ing a lot for the boys; they have
a trip scheduled up some mountain
every day. l have taken in several
of them and they are just fine. One
can see the mountains over IN Italy
and Switzerland. Switzerland il
about nine miles from here, but
will not take any chances of going
over there, for / don't want to bt
interned yet. When one goes OIL
in the lake swimming and looks II
at the snow-topped peaks, on,
thinks he is going to freeze +,
death.
l hope that the next trip or leave
| get will be across the pond, al
though | would like to see more O.
France, for there are some beauti
full places here. l also would lik,
to see more of Paris; one coult
spend a couple of weeks there anC
not see everything. l would lik,
to tell you more, but it would TAX
me too long and would be a regu
lar newspaper, so will not attemp
it.
Just finished dinner; had a yer,
good one. 1t is quite gloomy out
so will lay around today and tax
another trip tomorrow, if tn
weather permits. Hope that whe
! / get back to camp l will hav

Well, will ring off for this tim
and hope this finds you all O. K.

Willis, Republican, Nominated For
GOvernOr-ThOmpsOn of Defiance in
Close Contest For Nomination For
Congress in Fifth District-Repu5-
lican and Democratic County Tick
cts.

Partial and unofficial returns from
over the state indicate that ex-Gov-
ernor Frank b. Willis has been nomi-
mated as the Republican candidate for
Governor by a large majority, and
would have been an overwhelming
majority had the vote been anywhere
near normal; from all over the state
the reports of very light vote are
coming in. The indications are that
Clarence j. Brown has been nominated
by the Republicans for Lieutenant
Governor; Harvey G. Smith, for Sec
retary of State; Rudolph Arch, State
Treasurer; and John G. Price, Attor-
ney General. Supreme Court Justices
are still in doubt, with Reynolds r.
Kincade and H. A. Wanamaker as the
leaders.
The Congressional nomination is
close. Clark Good of Van Vert has
been announced as the winner, but up
to Thursday morning the result was
still Id doubt, and Charles J. Thomp-
SON of Defiance may be the candi-
date for this OH .ce when the final
official count has been announced.

The Liberty Pageant that created
so much enthusiasm at Columbus that
thousands were turned away, will lie
given at the Fulton County Fair un-
der the direction of its author, Mr..
]. Clarence Sullivan, of Columbus,
Ohio. 1t will be the largest open-alr
attraction ever given in Fulton coun-
ty. Over four hundred school chill
dren selected from all parts of the
county will appear in this wonderful
presentation, representing the history
and growth of this nation. The pa
geant is arranged in five episodes, de-
signed to carry the lesson of Ameri-
cas- passion for Liberty and the cause
of her entrance into the European
war. The government has loaned for
this occasion an exhibit of modern
appliances used in warfare, including 2
the gas masks, weapons and other
paraphernalia. The use of these will
be explained by soldiers from the bat
tie field.
The local chapter of the Red Cross
will show what a tremendous task it
has undertaken and how willingly the
people of the county have responded
to call of mercy and succor on the
battle field. 1t will show you what
more you can do to help win.

Of course, you wish me to tell
you concerning my trip and some
of the happenings. I am limited
as to what l can write about mil
tary affairs.
We all enjoyed the trip across
the Atlantic. Several times we felt
sick, but we soon got over it and
enjoyed the sights very much.
In going through England and
France we were greeted by the in
habitants; American flags were fly
ing from many of the buildings.
Of course, l talked with English
and French soldiers and realize
more and more that this is a great
war.
At present l am located in a
French village; the climate is pleas
ant and the country beautiful.

am beginning to realize that | am
a soldier. Of course, we work
pretty hard and often l get tired
