DEMOCRATIC EFFICIENCY

Secretary Baker recently reported
that complete lists of casualties had
been sent to Washington and that
1000 clerks were busy in getting
them out. The daily casualty list at
the time contained about 500 names,
which shows that two clerks, by ap-
plying themselves attentively to their
duties managed to get out together
one name a day. But Mr.. Baker
announced that 600 more clerks
would be added to the force with the
view to speeding up the final casu-
atty reports. With 1000 employees
bending their energies to that end the
public may reasonably expect daily
list of 1000 names until the entire
number are printed. Some efficien-

AS SCHOOL BOYS
SEE PROHIBITION
Two Essays By Boys of Wauseon
Public Schools on The Subject Of
Prohibition, National and Inter-
national.
National Prohibition
Raw K1inp


National prohibition has been OBJ
tanned in the U. s. at last. We did
not expect it SO soon. But the sooner
the better. 1t will go into effect one
year from January 10th, 1919 when
the thirty-sixth state ratified the
amendment or if President Wilson
does not lift the war measure the U.
S. will be dry after July 1st.
Some people say we will have to
pay more taxes because the govern
ment got money from the saloonmen.
We would have got along much better
in the last war if no booze had been
sold in the U. S. If every person
who bought liquor had put that money
into liberty bonds the governme
would have had more money than the
saloonmen paid for license and be-
sides the men would have saved their
money instead of the saloon getting
all they had. What benefit did they
get from it? They got their booze
and that was all they cared for.
Liquor has put the government to a
lot of expense. They had to employ
more policemen because the men would
get drunk and commit some crime OF
do something they ought not to do.
Besides the government has to have
a p ace to put such men. They have
to build penitentiaries and that surely
costs money.
In the next generation there will be
better men and women. Why? Be-
cause there will be no booze. That
little word booze has caused the
down fall of many young men. 1t
has killed many man inch by inch,
but he did not know it.
Some fellows think that one glass
won't hurt them, but that one glass
ieads to another, and so on until YOU
are poor drunkard. You may try
to stop but men who have drank so
long have not enough will power to
quit.
The saloon keeper rides around in
his automobile and has plenty of mon
ev. Where did he get it? He took
it out of poor mems pockets when he
knew their families were suffering for
want of food The saloon keeper has
taken many mouthfuls of bread from

ing their father booze

SEED OATS


The following circular letter has
been sent out by r. A. Cave, Fulton
County's Agricultural Agent It is
self explanatory:
I have Just received word from
'ounty agent in another county that
man has been there selling seed
oats which he claims to be superior
to any crown there and his argument
is as follows:
Ordinary oats run out in three
or four years. Even the oats he
is selling run out in three or four
years and it is necessary to get
some new seed from the original
source. His seed is superior to
ordinary oats and yields from six
to nine bushels more per acre
He will sell you seed oats for
$225 per bushel.
Experiments carried on at different
experiment stations show that if oats
are carefully selected they will not
run out but will be improved. The
mans arguments would, therefore
seem to have no foundation. 1t is
reported that he will be in Fulton
County to sell oats this week.
If you wish to obtain an improved
variety of oats, I would suggest that
you obtain from the Ohio Experiment
Station at Wooster, Ohio. some of
their improved varities of oats which
they would recommend for north
western Ohio. This would be much
safer than to take the word of an
agent who is around taking orders
for oats of which you know nothing.
Last fall an agent visited great
many of the farmers in the County
selling them Red Rock and Michigan
Wonder wheat for $4.25 per bushel
when if they had inquired of their
county agent he could have furnished
them with list of wheat growers
in Michigan who would sell them the
same variety of wheat certified by
the Michigan Experiment Station for
1928 per bushel.
It would seem that the man spoken
of above who was selling seed oats
is an impostor and it will be much
better to buy oats from some one
who is responsible. I should appre-
ciate it very much if in the future
the Farm Bureau members and other
farmers would report anv matter OF
this kind, because of the Farm Bureau
is for our own protection and the pre-
tecti2n of our neighbors.
Very truly yours

GUARD OF HONOR
Harold Collins of Wauseon Member
of the Presidential and Peace Com
mission Guard Company Now in
Paris on Duty at Peace Conference.

Corporal Harold Collins will not be
coming home from France with the
S3rd Division and the reason is that
ne has been selected by Major General
Edwin +. Glenn as member of the
Presidential and Peace Commission
Guard Company of $50 American SOL
dlers under the command of Captain
Burton F. Hood who will be the only
American company on duty at the
versailles Conference and who will
nave the honor of serving with the
cream of the worlds soldiers.
Corporal Collins was company clerk
OF E. Company, 329th infantry when
ne went overseas and he has been
kept at that line of work instead of
being permitted to go out and chase
the Huns back across the Rhine. He
is now with this Guard Company, who
will be on the ground where momen-
tous issues are decided. in Paris.
The New York Herald has this to
say in regard to this company of
American Soldiers destined to fame
on the pages of history:
General Pershing, knowing Cen
eral Glenn's ability to pick men and
realizing the vast number of men un-
der his command from whom he could
choose, called upon Ohio's military
leader to furnish the guard of honor
for President Wilson. The general
spent two days going around the area
in the vicinity of LeMans, inspecting
practically every company and picking
out the best appearing and most intel
Hgent soldiers" 1t was the ambition
of every soldier in the district to be
among the chosen few who would
serve at the history making confer
ence eghty-one men who had qualified
for commissions in the Candidate
School just before close signifed their
desire to Gen. Glenn by preferring to
be privates in the guard of honor
rather than sergeants in other forma-
tions. The general personally inter
viewed most of the men and in pick
ing them had in mind physical quail
ties. leadership, intelligence, personal
qualities and general value to the SER
vice.

snaps into its movements at Versailles

presented at the Great Peace Confer
ence of 1919.

P. s. this is German writing paper

Perhaps Mczdoo thinks that since
he raised the wages of railway en-
ployees the employees will always
give him credit, and viii bestow their
censure upon any man who happens to
be in control if wages ever come down
again. But perhaps that won't be
the workman's veiw. He may inquice
why McAdoo didn't stick to the job
keep the wages up.

WHY l AM GLAD THE U. S. is DRY
D.


Sylvester Porter
l am exceedingly glad that the U. S.
IS going dry, because it will make the
boozer wake up to the fact that he
must stop and live right. Liquor
ruins the homes, destroys friendship,
and turns hearts like stone; it makes
men drunkards and their children
orphans.
Now that it is gone it will not
mock religion and increase our popu-
lation with criminals. 1t will not
destroy our institutions or fill our
-penitentiaries asylums, and poor
houses; nor will the people that
drink. put a greater Indebtedness on
our nation.
The people that drink it have little
will power over themselves and go
bad Moreover the younger genera
ton will not have liquor to tempt
them and lead them down, while the
old grayhaired mother mourns for her
son or daughter that is going bad.
The man who drinks causes divorces
and forms unclean habits. He runs
with the burglars, slums and high
Waymen and is friend to them all.
He dies early in life On account Of
liquor. It takes bread out of many
a family's mouth, and while he IS
drinking his money up in firewater
as the Indians call it his wife and
children are crying for food.
1t cultivates hatred, and jealousy
which leads him to ruin. He makes
his mothers hair turn white and
drives her love for him away. He
drives his wife to destruction and
many a drunkard's wife has taken her
life on account of liquor. So we are
o ad to say goodbye to liquor now and
forever because it is Gods worst
enemy and the devils best friend.

BLAY WINS
CASE AGAINST
GRAND TRUNK.
Driver for Car in Which
Former Governor was Kill
led Is Given Large Sum

WINDSOR, Oct. FLAMES w.
Blay, chauffeur for the late ex-Gov-
ernor George H. Prouty, who was
killed on the tracks of the Grand
Trunk, two miles north of Water
vile, Que, in August, 1918, won to-
day verdict of $14,687.50 in United
States district court yesterday after
noon from the Grand Trunk. The
jury brought in verdict after three
hour deliberation.
Mrs. Prouty, widow of the ex-gov-
ernor, who sued the road for 100000
and $1,000 for the loss of the auto
mobile, lost her case when it was
tried in federal court at Newport
early in the summer.
The suit of Blay against the rail
road has been in federal court here
since a week ago Tuesday.
Mrs. Prouty, before Blay got his
verdict, filed motion for new trial,
but this motion has not yet been de-
cided
The accident which resulted in the
two suits happened on the morning
of August 10, 1918. Mr. Prouty was
killed outright, and the chauffeur
badly injured. The railroad claimed
the Prouty car was driven at high
rate of speed as it approached the
crossing. Blay claimed the bells at
the crossing were not ringing.
Testimony that was not introduced
at the trial of Mrs. Prouty's suit was
brought into Blay's case. Physicians
testified as to Blay's nervous shock,
and that the accident untitled him for
further work along his line. Doctors
Blanchard and Gaines of Newport
testified for Blay, and a deposition
was read from DR.. Lynch of Sher-
brooke, Que, Blay's home town. DR..
Allen of St. Johnsbury testified for
the railroad.
An electrical engineer and form
er employee of the Grand Trunk also
were witnesses for Blay.
The plaintiff introduced evidence
to indicate that the roadway ap-
preaching the Watelville crossing is
so outlined that it would be impos-
25 miles an hour.
ueql aIou u9A!Ip9 q OF .tGo IoJ eTq!s
There was no indication yesterday
as to whether the railroad would take
an appeal. Blay was represented by
Charles A. Prouty, Albert w. Far
man and Ward Prouty of Newport.
The Grand Trunk was represented by
John w. Redmond of Newport.
The suit ended the May term of

term opens at Rutland Oct. 7.
