ROYAL FAMILY OF
BELGIUM IN WAUsEON

A few of Wauseon citizens had the
opportunity and privilege of seeing
a read King and Queen in their own
home town last Tuesday afternoon.
The special train bearing their ma
esties King Albert and Queen Eliza
beth of Belgium with their suite
stopped for about ten minutes in
Wauseon and both the King and
Queen sat by windows in their car
where they could look out upon the
group of people who very hastily
gathered at the New York Central
Railroad grounds and could them
selves be seen by those who came to
look. Those who came to see, saw
a manly, fine looking man fit to be
King where Kings are wanted and
needed or fit to be an American citi-
zen of the highest class; not because
of his lineage alone nor yet because
of his material possessions, but be-
cause of what he has actually shown
himself to be and for what he has
done in the past five years; of course
we knew all these things before we
saw him and we were not disappoint-
ed when we saw him through the
pullman car window.
The Queen appeared to be the
worthy consort of true King which
we know her to be. We only wish
that we might have known little
sooner that their train would stop
in Wauseon so that more of our citi-
zens might have had the opportuni-
ty to show by their presence at
least the regard we all have for
noble little Belgium and her rulers
Our warm hearted impulsive fellow
citizen Geo. Volmer brought a blush
and a smile to the face of the Queen,
by announcing as he came along by
the train, a tone loud cough for
Her Majesty to hear behind her
closed window, why there's the
Queen now, yes sir there she is" and
off came Georges hat and his bow
was most profound. The royal lady
flushed. smiled and very graciously
acknowledged Mr.. Volmer's saluta-
ton.
George has the best of some of
the rest of US stiff cold blooded
Americans who are afraid to give
expression to the sentiments we really
feel because we might give someone
the impression that we were paying
homage to someone else and rather
admitting that there might be some
hother people in the world little high
er in the scale than an American citi-
zen or an American dollar. We al
sincerely wish for Belgium's Royal
family safe and pleasant journey
through our country unmolested by
Bolshevist, Strikes, politicians OF
railroad accidents for we want them
to like us and to know that they
have our sincere admiration and that
we earnestly desire to help the brave
little country that dared to stand in
the way of the Hun on his rampage
of wanton destruction and rapine.
In spite of our vaunted democracy
we can all shout with all sincerity
"Long live the King and Queen Of
Belgium"

WAUSEON CHAPTER d. A. R.

H Eager last Friday afternoon.

The special feature of the pro-
gram was the ceremony of furling
the Chapters service Flag: Sixteen
stars represented the roll of men in
service with one red star standing

War service training. AS the names
of the men were called an appro-
pirate tribute was given by the near
est relative present. One gold star
reminded the company that the shad-
ows had crept into the circle.
The topic discussed by the pro
gram, was characterization" pre-
sented by Mrs. Touvelle and Mrs.
Brigham; particularly calling atten-
tion to the illiteracy in the county
not only in the foreign born popula-
ton, but as we'll among the native
born mountaineers of the South. A
! special plea was made for patriotic
education among the foreign borr

for alt time the stimulus to high
ideals, right living and the noble
patriotism which flowed from his
deeds and teaching, the Roosevelt
Memorial Association has been form
ed and is seeking to raise fund of
SIS, 600, 600 to be used in the erection

ton of which is to be later determin-
ed. Under consideration are a monu-
ment in Washington; park at

the people to record at once and for
chilly their determination to uphold
and maintain his staunch American
ISM. Second, permanent memorials
that will, as nearly as possible per-
petuate and correctly reveal his
character and Americanism to com
ing generations.
The first is to be accomplished by
arrangements made by the various
State and local committees for meet
ings on Roosevelt's birthday, October
9th. These meetings will be the
immediate memorial.
The Second, the permanent men,
oral is to be accomplished by a cam
paign for the receipt of contributions
for the building of the memorials al
ready noted to.
The amount assigned to the state
of Ohio is $500,000 and the State is
being organized in every county and
township. For Fulton County, +.
