THE SUMMER OPTIMIST.

If mans optimist these days. when this old world
seems all ablaze, if he gayy sing and SMILE he is
optimis worth while There is trick in being gay upon

strain thew to bring all pleasant things in view. Then
any grim the ends of which obscure his
chin. But when the rays scoreh your pelt, and all
you weep you go to bed and cannot Sleep and get up
the break of dawn all in out and spent and gone

sing. I've sunshine gent who shone in sum-

with prcky heat their words more are honey sweet;

wAUsEoN BOYS IN HOSPITAL

Tough he went Monday with his
mother, Mrs, Eunice Spade to Camp
Sherman where another brother, Glen
Spade IF the famous 37th is in the
base hospital. Glen was wounded
by machine gun bullet in the leg, and
invaded back to the States for treat
ment. The wound in his leg has
healed and is all right but an opera
ton for trouble brought on by active
service became necessary and has
been performed. Mrs. Spade re-
mained at Camp Sheman to be with
him fo a while and Leslie returned
to Wauseon; he will return to San
Antonio in few days:

CLEAN WAR CHEST RECORD

AT a meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the Fulton County War
Chest Fund held January 9th, it was
voted to discontinue collections for
the War Chest Fund from all sub
scribers who shall have paid up to
March first of this year. The reason
given for this action is that many
of the subscribers have refused to
continue payments on the ground
that "the war is over" and further
payments are not required. AS a
matter of fact those resultant con-
ditions that make imperative the
need of money to meet and relieve
them are by no means "over" and
the cessation Of actual fighting does
not release many thousands of our
troops from active service; troops
that need the ministrations Of the
war organizations that derive their
financial support from the War
Chest, now Just as much as they
ever did. The war will not be OVER
until the peace treaties are signed.
The executive committee held that
it was not fair and just to accept
money from half the subscribers and
let the rest go by default. All sub
SCI1UCIS dlO CAPCOGOO W pay QP W
March 1st, all should be willing to dc
this as it means only nine months
payments instead of year or more
The record of all subscribers will be
kept as permanent record for such
use in the future as may be required
If all subscribers will pay up as indi-
rated, the War Chest can meet the
payment of relief funds already
pledged and each subscriber will have
a clean record in this respect. This
we ought to do to preserve our own
self respect if nothing more.
AS just one instance of the need IL
the world; The Polish Relief Com
mittee appealed not long since to oul
War Chest Fund for help, stating
that in one territory in Poland having
population of 100000 there is moi
one child under six years of age-the
reason? These little children have
died of starvation-This appeal and
others like it have to be turned dow
because there are no funds available
and there are no funds because people
refuse to give because "the war is
over"

AT THE STATE CAPITOL

Its a matter for congratUlation on
the part of every citizen of Ohio that
the new State Legislature lost no
time parleying over the matter Of
ratifying the Federal Prohibition
Amendment to the Constitution.
Ohio is lined up on the side of econo-
my common sence and right moral
standards with the rest of the states.
1t is predicted that AZ out of the 48
states will ratify the amendment.
Michigan, Idaho, Tennessee, Wset
Virginia, Maine and Illinois are
among the other states who are lin
ing up to put the Liquor curse in
this country out of existence.
The inauguration of Governor
Cox was without pomp or display as
befitted the conditions which exist
in the State and Nation: The
American people have neither the
time nor the money to spend in un-
necessary display or frivolities. The
problems of recostruction are upon
US as a people and their solution will
tax our very best endeavors and our
resources to the utmost.
Big problems are before the mem
bers of the State Legislature among
them is the problem Of taxation.
The legality of the classification
amendment to the State Constitu-
ton is now being tested by the Su-
oreme Court.
The adoption of the prohibition
amendment will deprive the state and
its wet municipalities temporarily ri
least of something more than $4,000
900 revenue. That amount will have
to be provided from some other
source. Eventually this item will be
more than made up by the enhanced
values of property and by the fact
that many more citizens will own
property that will go on the tax du-
plicates; meanwhile the people of
this state will not have it upon their
consciences that they are paying any
portion of the running expenses Of
their government at the price of the
mental, moral and physical well being
Of any of their fellow citizens.
With opening of the State Legis-
lature, the season of annual meet
| ings and conventions in Columbus
also opens. State. Threshermen
Good Roads Federation, a big sports
men meeting and banquet taking ur
