this neighborhood.
The same course of study Of
fered by other County High
Schools of the state is offered
here. Altho this is, at present
only a two-year high school, its
prospects for development are
very bright.
We believe in the doctrine of
"A square deal;;" in reciprocal
ton of favor and interest; in
work sincerely, -conscientlously
and honestly done. The adopted
and specified branches of literary
work are given due consideration
but they do not merit, nor should
they receive all attention. We
endeavor to present ideals of
good citizenship, cultivate a love
for general information, independ
ence of opinion and public spirit
edness. We delight in athletics.
Take an interest in the play of
pupils and they naturally become
more interested in their work in
the school room. Our base ball
team stands ready to play any
school team in the county. Lawn
Tennis finds hearty support a.
mong the girls.
The North Springs High School
is a working. singing, playing
school, worthy of consideration
aid investigation. Visit us be-
fore sending your boys and girls
away from Jennings Creek, or
out of the county.
The first month of the High
School closed with interest UNI
flaging. The monthly examina-
ton showed satisfactory progress
in all grades.
The eight grade and first year
deserve especial mention for
their-good work.
Altho hampered by an made
quate teaching force we are
bending every effort to handle
the proposition in way that
will reflect credit to the school.
Miss Gillock, who has charge of
the primary grades is doing extra
work, spending extra hours that
the folks may get their proper
instruction. She is one of the
best primary teachers in the
state, and the patrons of the
school should appreciate hel
efforts in behalf of their chill
dren.
Marking the close of the frs
month a box supper was giver
for the purpose of raising funds
to purchase necessary schoo
equipment.
On Saturday night, Sept. 9Th
the people from far and neal
gatheredlin the school building
bringing with them thirty-twC
boxes, decorated both inside ant

utmost caution has been used ir
framing the law and in adopting
a method of administering same,
that will cautiously guard and
protect each taxpayer in the
State against an unjust assess
ment. 1t is through these differ
ent processes that this assess
ment must go before finally made
official, and through such pro-
cesses we should certainly be
able to effect a far and equitable
assessment of the property of
the State.
1t was realized by the trainers
of the law that a perfect assess
ment could not be made in a day
and could not be made by one
man or one set of men, but
should represent the joint action
of the local authorities and the
State Board, in order that the
inequalities may be as complete
ly as possible eradicated from our
system. We are aware of the
fact that different witnesses in
different Districts have different
ideas of value, and it will be the
duty of the Local County Tax
Assessors and the County Board
of Equalization to reconcile those
differences and equalize the as
sessments between individuals
and between Civil Districts with
in the County, using the proof
which we submit to them as a
guide. We also realize that local
County Tax Assessors and Coun-
ty Board of Equalization will
have different ideas of values in
| the different Counties. and that
is the very reason that the State
Board of Equalization was Great
ed, in order that the State Board
may reconcile these different
views of values in the different
Counties and effect equalization
as between the varions counties,

in opposition to such change. Ii

sHAKY BASIS FOR BUSINESS

1t announced that for the purpose
of increasing shipment Of wheat
through certain southern ports, the
President has arbitrarily increased
the guaranteed government price of
wheat, at those places. Possibly cir
cumstances justify this discrimina-
ton, but the facts showing the justi-
fcation are lacking. In any event,
the incident demonstrates the danger
of bureaucratic control of channels
of trade. If the President, presum-
ably acting on the recommendation
of some subordinate, can fix prices in
order to divert trade from one port
to another, he can fix other prices to
shift the trade to still some other
place. Galveston is undoubtedly re-
joicing over its prospective increase
in shipping as result of the Presi-
dents order. But what would Gal
weston think if, a few weeks later,
the Presidents advisors induce him
to reverse the process and divert the
shipments from Galveston to San
Francisco, Baltimore and Boston ?
Isn't government by men a rather
precarious basis for permanent bust
ness?

BURGLAR ALARM
Automobile Thief Gives Alarm on
Himself and Then Obligingly Waits
For Sheriff to Come and Get Him
Pleads Guilty to Charge

Sometime during last Tuesday
night, Mrs. Minnie Orndorf who lives
east of town was awakened by the
loud blast of an auto horn and on GO
ing to the window saw a stranger
trying TO make a getaway with her
own Overland. She called to the
thief and he started away from the
barn and through a cornfsld. Early
Wednesday morning I; Mrs. Orndorf
went to the barn and when throw
ing down hay to feed the stock caught
sight of man hiding in the barn;
she went to the house and phoned to
the Sheriff who came in answer to
her call and escorted her visitor to
Wauseon for safe keeping.
The would be thief who gave his
name as William Budth of Toledo
had broken into the barn where the
car was kept and backed the car out;
when discovered he had the car par
TALLY turned around; in trying to
manipulate the switches he evident
ly had Inadvertently pressed the
alarm button making the noise that
awakened Mrs. Orndorf.
Budth's tracks in the cornfeld
showed that after going some dis
tance in the field he turned and went
back to the barn where Mrs. Orndors
discovered him.
Budth's plan was very good one:
He expected of course that a search
would be instituted and fgued that
the last .place the searchers would
look would be in the barn which he
had entered. The only trouble was
the plan didn't work. Mrs. Orndor1
discovered him and there were toe
many people about after that for him
to make a successful exit.
Budth was arraigned before Justice
Deyo Wednesday forenoon and pled
guilty to the charges preferred
against him. Justice Deyo, bount
the prisoner over to the Grand jury
under $1,000 bonds an1 he was re
manded to the custody of the Sheriff
pending furnishing of bond.
1t was rumored about the Couf
house Wednesday that the Cour
would order the calling of specia
Grand Jury to dispose of thi
prisoners case and the case of on
other who is held in Jail on a non
support charge; otherwise thes
prisners will have to remain in jai
here until the opening of the Octobe
term of Court.

A. H. FlOry second in Mail Carriers
War Savings Stamp Sale Contest
up to Fulton County Folks To
Put FlOry First Before August
Ninth. ..Ilxtt tRs

A record that is attracting attsn-
ton from all over the United States
:, ne Il W d. u. cooper a lerIer-carrler
of Newark. According to the Ohio
War Savings Committee he has sold
war Savings Stamps amounting to
more than sol, 900 during the last sew
5fa- months. Some idea of the mag
lrlin4de iof his remarkable endeavor
is gained when it is realized that War
Savings Stamps sell for less than SIS
each, which means that Cooper has
sold more than 10000 stamps. A.
H glory sof Wauseon stands second
with safes of S49,350 while e. "A
Koller of Chillicothe is third with
$44,065. These letter carriers are the
champion War Savings Stamp sales
men among the letter carriers of the
United States having sold more Wal
Stamps than any three other mai
carriers in this country.
The foregoing is from the Office
Of the Ohio State Committee at Col
umbus; the important point for th'
people of Fulton County to note i.
that Mr.. Flory is only $1,670 behinC
Mr.. Cooper in sales and little extr;
effort will bring the sales record O
cur Futon County champion up t.
and ahead of the Newark mans.
The contest closes Saturday Angus
9th; only two weeks more. What i
purchased after that date will no
help in this contest. Buy now n
buy of Flory and put Fulton Count
at the head of the list.

FIRE PREVENTION
WauseOn Fire Department Answer
Two Calls on Two Successive Days
Boys Score Hts in Prevention of
Serious Loss

The Fire alarm sent the volunteers
out to the home of John Trondle on
Shoop Avenue Tuesday afternoon, a
stubbie field back of the house had
caught fire and the flames were creep
ing rapidly toward the buildings. 1t
is rather unusual for Fire Depart
ment to be called upon to extinguish
a burning field, but the Wauseon Fire
lads are ready for anything in the
shape of fire and they went into
the scrimmage with a will. Chemi-
Gals played on the flames from the
truck which was run along the ad-
vancing edge of the fire soon ex-
tinguished the blaze and the Fire
Department by their timely appear
ance on the scene and prompt action
after they arrived averted serious
loss by fire; everything is dry as
tinder these days and once fire gets
started in a frame building it will
be a difficult matter to stop it until
it has done considerable damage.
Wednesday shortly after rCon the
siren sounded another alarm and the
fremen were called upon to repeat
their performance of Tuesday.
This time it was a wheat stubble
field just south of the Wabash tracks
off from, Ottokna Street The same
procedure as on Tuesday was fol
lowed and again serious fire loss
was avoided.

have been started by sparks from

LARGEST AIRSRIp
Worlds Largest Airship In U. 5.
Longest Nonstop Record Flight
Across the Atlantic. Facts About
British Airship R-34
By G. w. Morrison, New York


1t is not generally known that the
snt of the British Airship R-94 is
an event of the greatest Importance
in establishing the possibilities cf
aviation for practical, commercial
and passenger-ctrrying purposes. 1t
is the first Transatlantic crossing
by air from East to West. The other
two, one by Commander Read in the
American NO-4 by way of the Azores
in three "hops" and the nonstop
flight from Newfoundland to Ireland
by Captain Alcock, were from West
to East.
The dead weight of the airship is
80 tons, and when fully equipped for
fight. except for gasoline, water and
oil, is sixty tons. Its length over all
is 665 feet, height lover alp 92 feet,
girth 80 feet. It has 10 gas bags
(not balloonettes) with capacity of
100000 cubic feet of gas. 1t is long
er than the Singer Building is high.
5 Sunbeam motors of IL cylinders
each supply the motive power. Mag
neto Ignition is, of course, exclusive
ly used because of its intense hot
spark and absolute reliability. For
this purpose two magnetos are used
on each twelve-cylinder engine, that
is, one magnetic for each six cylinders
or ten mabnetos for the sixty cylin-
ders which form the total power
plant. The normal speed of the en-
gines is 2100 revolutions per minute
each engine develops 275 horse power
or 1875 horse power in ALL
| This power was transmitted to the
5 propellers through clutch and geal
mechanism, not by direct drive as is
the case with airplanes.
1t carried 80 officers and crew anc
one stowaway. The officers are:
Major G. H. Scott, Commander.
Major G. G. H. Cooke, Navigating
Officer.
Capt. Greenland, First Officer.
