FROM RHINELAND
c. H. Leu Writes From His Post of
Duty in Germany to If:s Parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. ]. Leu-Feels
Mad at Germans When He Has to
Hike

Here is a letter from one of our
Fulton County boys that makes US
feel like going down a little deeper
in our pockets on this Victory Loan
to make sure that the government
vii have enough to bring every last
one of these Fulton County boys of
ours Home:
April II, 1918
Dear Mother and all
Will write a few lines to let you
know that I am well and feeling fine
Received your letter of March the
18th sure was glad to hear from
you and glad to hear that you are
all well, don't know whether / get
all your mail or not receive on the
average of one a week.
/ don't know just when we will
sail but "a new rumor came out today
that sailing orders are for May 10.
hnt have heard to many of them
to take any interest in them any
more. sure would like to get out
Of this country before it gets very
hot tbs reason, I will explain Inter.
If Bill is in the 9th l shouldn' t
have any kick coming as l think that
division is in the Army of Occupa-
ton.
The weather sure has been fine
for the past week, the grass and
wheat have been green all winter.
Oh YES | sure hope time will fly a
little faster as l want to get back
about as soon as you want me to.
/ Just came back from down town
and bought myself "a watch which
cost 135 marks it isn't much of a
watch at that, a mark was worth
twenty-four cents before the war
blt isn't worth only about ten cents
now.
l don't suppose that Glen remem-
bers me but expect he is getting TO
be Some boy bv now and Ivan, does
he watch the cow yet?
Can we get a transport soon or do
we have to hesitate? One nice thing
we don't have to hesitate, Friday or
Saturday as Friday we have a hike
and Saturday is inspection. 1t makes
me so dern mad at those Germans
when we make a hike that l almost
/ feel Ike starting in on them with
my Browning Machine rifle as l al.
ways think they are the fault of me
making that hike which they sure
as - are. We have a big poster uE
at the kitchen of the Liberty Loar
which says, "And they thought we
couldn't fight" 1 don't know what
they think about it but they SURE
learned that the Yanks could fight
AS news is scarce or none at al
will close with love to all,

A HAPPY BIRTHDAY

"Over the Top on the First Day"
is the way Comrade A. S. VanNort-
wick describes the happy party at
their home last Thursday which cele-
brated the 18th anniversary of his
birth. There were present SO per-
sons; l8 adults and the balance
children, but they were all children
so far as enjoying the occasion was
concerned. A very sumptuous din
ner was served and a general good
time enjoyed. Remarks were made
by Mr. VanNortwick who concludes
that people are hungry for more
such gatherings and urges the "boys
who wore the blue" to "Brace up"
and get together to get acquainted
with thei" neighbors and each other
A pretty good birthday resolution:
To enjoy each other while we may,
we shall pass this way but once; let
US leave happiness and pleasant
memories to mark the path.

WATER QUESTION
Citizens Meeting to Discuss Bond Issue Last Friday
Evenng-The Main Question-Expert Advice
Second Meeting Next Wednesday Evening

About one hundred persons were
present mt the water Meeting" held
at the Court House last Friday even
ing for the purpose of giving infor-
nation in regard to the Water supply
situation in Wauseon.
Mr.. Chas. Grisier was selected as
chairman of the meeting and Mr. w.
j. Sherman of To.edo gave a de-
tailed report of the water survey of
Wauseon and vicinity made under
his supervision during the early
spring of this year and explained
facts and conditions from which were
drawn the conclusions which furnish
the basis for the Engineers recon-
mendation of the Turkeyfoot Re
servoir project, a recommendation
which was accepted by the Board of
Trustees of Public Affairs and by
that Board presented to the Council
with the request that the funds be
secured to install the project.
1t was upon this survey, recon-
mendation and presentation that the
Council took the legal steps to bring
before the electors of Wauseon on
Tuesday May 18th, the bond issue
of $1z0,000 to furnish the funds with
which to construct this Turkeyfoot
Reservoir and install the new system
Members of the Water Board who
were present made it clear that by
action of their Board they were
bound to direct the use of the funds
raised in event of the Bond issue
carrying, on the Turkeyfoot project
according to the recommendations
of the engineer.
One member of the Board is in
favor of a plan which involves the
utilization of the present water
works plant and spoke in behalf of
this plan as offering more econom-
ical and at the same time perfect
" adequate water supply. Up to
the present time the Engineer has
not made report on this plan as
outlined bv its sponsors.
The main question before the citi-
zens of the village is as to whether
or not we shall have a new Water
Supply System. In answering. this
question there are several things tc
be taken into consideration: Is the
present system satisfactory, safe anC
adequate? all the facts present anC
past seems to lead to a negative
answer to this question and con
sequently to an affirmative answer
to the main question.
Another question is: Do we need :
new system? From a domestic point
OF view, which of course involves
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1919-05-02

the questions of sanitary and hy-
glenlc necessities:
From a manufacturing and COM
merclal pont of view: Do our pre-
sent business and commercial inter
ests need it? Will these interests
oe damaged without it? Will lack
OF. adequate water supply in Wau-
seon affect the business of milk pro-
ducers IN the surrounding country.
and how will it affect them? What
erect on the business interests of
Wauseon will follow?
Will an adequate water supply af-
tecG the. future growth and develop
ment Of Wauseon; along business
ines or the real estate values?
These are only a few of the
questions that might be suggested
the answers to which will not be
difficult for the average citizen to
supply for himself. Having answer
ed such questions and determined
whether or not New Water Supply
System is needed the next question
IS to determine what relation to the
conclusions reached, the success or
failure of the proposed bond issue
bd2rs, and then vote accordingly
either for or against it.
AS to the methods and details Of
providing a Water Supply System
1t would seem wise to follow the
advice and counsel of competent
and expert Engineers who have their
specia training and experience to fit
them to give such advice.
AT present such advice seems to
be n favor Of the Turkeyfoot pro-
position. There is on fle with the
Water Board survey made about

draultc Engineer of high standing

However these things should be con-
sidered; if there is a better plan the
people should be informed in regard
to it; they must pay the bills anc
their interests are involved; in fact
its their business.

form ourselves and then act upon
our own best judgement for the best
interests of our town as a whole

1857 and during the fifty-two years
that have elapsed tsince that date
ne has been a citizen in the best
sense of that term, of this village.
For eight years in merchantile busi- |
ness; twelve years as County School
Examiner, two terms as County
Treasurer and filling out an unex-
pred term as Probate Judge. This
is the barest out line of his services:
By education and training he was a
civil engineer and rendered much pro-
fessional assistance in surveying and
plating the earlier additions to the
town: He gathered the young men
nout him to give them the benefit
Of mis- knowledge in the science of
mathematics and for many many
years he was the leader and "stand-
by in the life and development of
me Baptist church of which he was
member. He found time in the
midst of all his other activities to
be a devoted husband and father and
made his home a sacred place for
his children, an inspiration for
others.
Hiram L., son of Hiram and
Hannah (Olcott) Moseley, was born
near Hamilton, New York, April IL,
1882, at the date of his decease he
was Just eight days past his eighty
seventh birthday anniversary. His
education was obtained in Hamilton
and his early young manhood was
spent in school teaching and as a
commercial traveller in the Southern
States. He was united in marriage
December 7th, 1866 to Miss Adelaide
Beach and the following year, 1867,
he brought his bride to Wauseon
where they established their home.
t There remain to cherish his mem
orv his two daughters. Zella and
Mrs. Nellie Moseley Hill, also one
grandson, Maurice Hill.
He leaves besides a host of friends
and neighbors who will never for

he has exerted on their lives so long
as they shall live.
Funeral services were held from
the home on East Park street Mon
day afternoon, conducted by his
paseor, Rev. 7 B Ashton and inter
ment made in Wauseon cemetery
beside the loved wife who preceded
him only a few days before.

OHIO HEALTH PROTECTION

In 1920 when the Hughes Health
District Bill, which has passed both
houses Of the Legislature and now
awaits the signature of Governor
Cox, goes into effect, every resrident
of Ohio, whether in city or country,
will have health protection, 102
trained health officers working all
the time will act as the chief local
administrative officers aided by ade-
quate stats Of nurses, physicians and
clerks.
The immediate results expected
are the reduction of the death rate
from such easilv preventable diseases
as typhoid fever and diptheria
Costs will be more than repaid by
reducing expenses of sickness to the
people of the State.
