CHAUTAUQUA VALUE
The Redpath Talent Deliver Real Values-It Remains
For People of The Community To Appro-
pirate and Use Them

The Wauseon Chautauqua of
1918 became a thing of the past
Thursday night with the conclusion
of the stirring talk by Private Ar
thur K. Herman; that is, it became
a thing of the past unless some of
the hundreds of people of this COM
muniUy shall appropriate some OF the
real values of information and truth
which this Chautauqua has brought
and applying them to and in their
own lives and surroundings, and put
N practice the suggestions which the
1913 program brought. 1t this case,
the Chautauqua will become some
thing more than a pleasant memory;
it VIII be of present value every day
through the entire year to come.
The Chautauqua brings the real
practical values to the community,
but it rests with the people of the
community to appropriate and apply
such values in order that the benefit
may actually be experienced.
This years, Chautauqua has been
aspecaally rich IN valuable sugges-
tions for the progress and successful
development of the life of the COM
munity and at the same time it has
furnished a real vacation and recre-
alton period for hundreds of persons,
young and old, who needed the relax
alton and change of thought which
sdch entertainment brings, but who
are unable to leave their work in or
Ger to find it elsewhere.
There were many who felt on the
opening day Of this years Chautau-
qua tnaC Ihis was something of a
| luxury; that in these times of stress
when every nickle Of every person s
spare change is needed in carrying
On the war, might very well be dis
pensed withy at least, it was to be
classed with the unessentials. This
sentiment was effectually dispelled on
the very first evening when William
Rainey Bennett gave his wonderfully
inspiring lecture. which called upon
every man ana woman to awaken tc
the realization Of the full extent OF
their personal powers, and bring into
action larger proportion of THEN
possible efficiency. The supreme
need Of such efficiency was impressed
upon people by Capt. Martin Hardin
on the second evening, when he pre-
sented "The Cry of Crucifiec
World" When Mr.. Hardin had fin
ished his lecture, not one of his audi
tors but realized the necessity of ev

A PLEASANT TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. George Clifton, son
Blaine and Professor and Mrs. Pom
tious of Amherst Agricultural Col
lege, Amherst, Mass, arrived in Wau-
seon Friday evening after a very
pleasant auto trip from Amherst to
Wauseon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifton and son left
Wauseon in June and motored to Am
herst. They left Amherst for the re-
turn trip on July 80. Mr.. Clifton
has reason to be proud of the fact
that the only auto trouble he had on
the entire round trip was one elbow
out" on the return trip.
Their route lay along Lake Erie,
the beautiful Genisee and Mohawk
valleys of New York, and the gran
deur of Massachusetts hills and riv-
ers, with good roads all the way.

came chief clerk at the Athens
State hospital, succeeding W. W.

Miss nellie Logan, who since last
March has been the organizer of
boys and girls pig clubs, poultry
clubs and home making clubs in Full
ton county, leaves Saturday for her
home near Boston for short vaca
ton before leaving this country for
Red Cross work overseas.
Miss Logan has enlisted in the Am
erican Red Cross for civilian relief
service back of the lines in France;
the nature of her work will be large
| ly along the lines of reconstruction
of home and farm life among the
people whose homes have been dew
astated and who must return to the
desolation that is left by the reced-
ing wave of war to re-establish their
homes. Miss Logan has won many
friends in the county during the pc
riod of her service here and has
helped materially in increase of food
production and food conservation in
the county by enlisting the boys and
girls Of the county and inspiring
them to earnest endeavor along the
lines indicated
There will be more pounds of pork
produced, more poultry, more eggs,
and more fruit and vegetables stored
for winter use in Fulton county this
season because of Miss Logan's work
and we regret that she will be denied
the pleasure of seeing some of the
results of her labors at the County
Fair in September.
Miss Logan has been working in the
county under the extension depart
ment of the Agricultural College OF
the o. S. U.
We certainly voice the sentiment OF
| all in Fulton county who have become
acquainted with Miss Logan when we
say that we appreciate her services
regret that we must lose her, but we
are glad the opportunity and priv
= ilege of service among the stricker
= people of France are to be hers anc
we wish her God-speed.

Somewhere in France
Sunday. July Ia. 1913.

Well, at last Pm in the proverbial
Somewhere" quite within sound
of the big guns and real activity;
only a week ago wrote you from
Bonny Scotland-an awful lot of
change can take place within one
short week; eh, what?
l suppose there is no harm in
telling you that l am attached to
the R. A. F. and doubtless will be
for some time. I really can't tell,
or rather haven't much to tell con-
cerning France or the work here,
for I am only new here as yet; but
I will say that one can't be here
long without realizing there is a
war on.
Well, folks, every day that passes
means one day nearer return to the
States, and / think all our million
men over here never liked the u.
S. A. better than they do now. You
can't appreciate a good thing when
you have it; 1 know when I get
back I'll be perfectly satisfied to
stay right there.
I'm inclined to be just a bit jeal-
Gus of those fellows who have nice
desk jobs in Washington and yet !
don't believe I'd trade places with
them; on the square, I don't.
All kinds of love,
DARBY.

IN SCOTLAND
And FRANCE
Letter Frcr, Home Good to Look On
For the Lads Over There - Pleas
aptly Located in Scenic Land But
Wishes He Was in France - Fed
Up On Training-Thinks of Hcme.

The following letter from j.. Darby
Kenyon represents, we believe, the
feeling of most of our boys who are
overseas in regard to the letters from
home We over here, with the duties
and happenings of home life constant
ly occupying our attention, can hardly
appreciate the value to the "lads far
away" of CHEEKY letter from home.
Keep on writing, even though you
man not hear from them. "No news
is ga@fi cews," for if anything goes
wrong ,r.:t them the government will
let you ku1w-and there are many
hindrances to the overseas mail.
Turnberry, Ayrshire, July z. 1918.
Dear Folks:
On the Fourth of July, just one
month after it was dated, I re-
ceived a letter from Dad, and it
goes without saying that it VIZ
good to look on.
l like Scotland ever so much; the
country is delightful in many ways;
wee bit prettier than England, a.
least the parts of England I have
been in-quite in contrast to the
half timbered and brick rural cot
tages of England; here they are in
variably whitewashed and stand
out strikingly clean and white
against the avid green of the hill
sides and valleys. The country is
quite rolling and in some places al
most mountainous. look from my
window out to sea and can almost
imagine Ireland through the haze.
We are billeted here quite COM
fortably; in fact, in one of Great
Britain's best summer hotels, and
it's really hard to realize such sur
roundings while actually on duty:
it seems now as if l were on leave.
It's very likely I will be here only
short time, and l expect to ge.
to France from here; at any rate,
I hope so. l am pretty well fed W
with being all the time in training
it's really suspense that has ten
dency to become oppressive, find.
Well, folks, l sure wish / was
with you this Sunday, but there's a
war on-I guess you realize that,
don't you? Well, believe me, do,
/ and 1 haven't even seen it yet; but
here's hoping that l will see you
all-some Sunday.
