The High School exercises have

demonstrated that among other things
they have acquired, they have ac-

citizens, as giving a very good dem

ability to think cearly and express
their thoughts.

cord along athletic lines this past
year in spite of the fact that Wau-
seon had to be contented with fourth

NATFR SUPPLY IMPROVEMENTS
PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER

Water supply improvements nave
prevented 20 cases of typhoid fever
n five cities in Ohio since the begin
ing of the yelr, declared the State
Department of Health today, basing
is estimate upon a comparison of
the 1919 total of cases reported to
May rs, with the corresponding figures
fr last year.
Striking evidence of the value if
pure water supplies was furnished by
the records of East Liverpool, Zanes-
vile, Springfield, Ashtabula and Con-
neaut.
East Liverpool has reported no tp-
phoid cases this year. Up to the
corresponding time last year its re-
ports totaled IL cases. The city's
new water publication plant began
operation in July 1918.
For GAINESVILLE the 1919 total to
date is IL cases, of which nine occur
ed before water from the city's new
alteration plant came into general
use about February Il The other
two are believed to be due to contact
infection. Up to May 25 last year
GAINESVILLE reported 80 typhoid cases.
Springfield reported 27 cases in
january 1910, ana III Ine next lOuI
months. No cases have been report
ed this year. Treatment of the city
water supply with LIQUID chlorine was
begun in February 1918.
Ashtabula and Conneaut placed
their publication plants under expert
technical supervision last November.
To date this year Conneaut has re-
ported one typhoid case and A-shta-
bula none In the first five months
of last year Conneaut reported eight
cases and Ashtabula three.
Health department officials are
awaiting with interest reports of ty-
phoid prevalence in Ironton during
the latter part of this year, after the
new publication plant now nearing
completion is put into operation
Thus fer this year Ifonton has re-
ported 32 typhoid cases. Th-o~sn q
May last year the total was "a. A
sharp drop is expected as soon as
the purified water is pumped into the
mains.

Methodist Church of Wauseon Raises
Its Quota of Great Centenary Fund
( of. $4,000, ,OoO-work Completed

Last Sunday subscriptions to the
methodist Centenary Fund from the

PEOPLE LOOK TO CONGRESS

The President in his message, says
he has to stay in Europe and take
part in the international questions,
for, he says: "They are questions
which affect the peace of the whole
world and from them, therefore, the
United States cannot stand apart.
But again he says it will be prema-
ture for Congress to discuss them or
express a judgment on them. Thus,
the only persons in the whole world
who are to be dummies while ques-
tions affecting the whole world are
being settled, questions from which
the United States cannot stand apart
are the members of the American
parliament! And this, too, in the
face of the declarations of the Con-
stitution of the United States that
treaties can only be made by and
with the advice of the Senate.
And in the meantime the country
is to be turned over to organized and
financial propaganda for any and
everything that is done at Paris, fav-
orable or unfavorable to the Ameri.
can people and their welfare.
The American people took Congress
away from President Wilson because
they were dissatisfied with him. They
now look to the new Congress to ex
press their thoughts, their desires anc
their will.

MEXICO AGAIN ON
THE pRnCRAM

The PkCNIkAM
Our entrance into the world war
eclipsed for the. time being the trou-
bles we were having with Mexico.
Gen. Pershing in charge of affairs
on the border, was hastily called to
Washington and sent to, France. All
eyes centered ON the operations on
the Western Front and the escapades
of Villa and his fellow bandits were
lost sight of for the moment. But
now that matters have subsided in
Europe we begin to hear again the
sounds of revolution in our neighbor
to the south. Once again Villa has
called his followers together, captur-
ed the city of Parril hanged its may
or and his three sons andt threatened
Torreon and Chihuahua. It may be
that his next move will be in the
direction of Mexico City, or he may
attempt a sortie across the interna-
tional boundary and shoot up town
on this side of the line. Americans
in Mexico recognize the seriousness
of the situation and are said to be
moving northward as rapidly as they
can.
In view of the fact that conditions
in that benighted country have not
grown steadily worse during the time
we have been engaged abroad, are
we to witness resumption of the
..watchful waiting policy that char
acterized our relations Nth Mexico
before the European war? Ever
since the abdication of Diaz from the
presidency in 1912 there has been a
contest for the ascendency among
various leaders who have arisen in
different parts of the republic to
fight for control. The next result
has been much bloodshed, the com.
plete disruption of the industries Of
the country and the destruction Of
many millions of dollars worth OF
property. It is said that more Am
ericans have lost their lives by vio.
ance in Mexico than perished on the
Lusitania and there is no indication
of any change in the prigram in tht
years to come.

Allen Campbell and Eleanor Wo f

dollars for second prize.
The subject upon which the essays
were written was "Do Cigarettes and
Tobacco in Other Forms, lnjure Men
tn and Physical Growth and Eff
ciency"7
We publish herewith both of the
prize essays.
BY Allen Campbell
The use of tobacco is probably the
most expensive and utterly useless
habit in the world to-day, to say
nothing of the great injury that it
does.
The average tobacco user spends at
least twenty-five cents a day; if he
begins the use Of this weed at the
age of eighteen and continues unit.
sixty-hve, which is about an average
life, he would have spent about five
thousand two hundred dollars. At
the end of this time what has he to
show for his money? Poor com
plexion, bad health, yellow teeth,
shaly nerves and sometimes very
bad health. If he had invested this
money wisely, see. what the income
would have been.
First 1t injuries the brain, it makes
a person lazy, slow and less efficient.
II an instrument could be made to re-
cord efficiency a smoker would be
eighty-five per cent and q non smok-
er one hundred per cent. Many es-
tablishments will not hire q smoker.
Next IL effects the heart. Some
smokers get what is called the to
bacco heart these unlucky men have
a very hare time getting their lives
insured because they might die al
most any time.
Then the smokers lungs get partly
filed with nicotine and he cannot
breathe so well.
Othor@deadly drugs are labelled
but more stores sell tobacco put up
In the most attractive forms thar
any other articles of merchandise.
OlGlreJJs are OIIen LnOuRnJ narm-
less. but are in fact more harmful
than a pipe or cigars. MOST smok.
ers inhale cigarette smoke because
It does not bite and get the poison.
When they smoke cigars they are
fooled into believing that it does moi
hurt them so don't stop.
Many young mems ambitions are
never realized because their nerves
are upsteadied by the use Of tobacco
In the conclu5ion we can find every
thing against the use of tobacco, los:
of money, heath and happiness anc
what can we say in favor of it
Nothing; so why use it?
