PEACEMAKERS OF
WORLD IN ACTION
Pictures of Men and Scenes Con-
nected With Great Conference
viii Be Found in This Issue of
The Tribune.

The Tribune presents this week
some very interesting pictures of
scenes and persons connected with
the great peace conference that is
just now beginning work in France.
They will be found on another page.
The opening of the peace confer
ence is an epoch-making event, the
Importance of which will be recog-
nized even more clearly in in future
years than it is at the present time.
The Tribune obtained these pic
lures because it recognizes the great
interest that its readers have in this
event and in the world leaders who
will remake the map of Europe and
endeavor to establish a permanent
peace.
President Wilson, Premier Clemen-
ceau, of France, and Premier Lloyd
George, of Great Britain, undoubtedly
will be the dominant figures in the
peace congress. They will exercise
the power that in former peace con.
crosses was welded by kings and EN-.
perors. Policies which these three
men agree upon doubtless will be EN-
bodied in the final peace treaties.
The pictures of the Versailles pal
ace are of particular interest because
of the history that already has beer
made within its halls. 1t was here
that Franch autocracv received it,
first death blow more than hundred
years ago, and it was here that Will
liam, of Prussia, was proclaimed EN-
peror of the newly formed German
empire after the defeat of the Frencl
in 1871. 1t is in these same hall
that the final sessions of this creates
of peace congresses will be held.

MISS GRACE BAYES

Grace Dora Bayes spent her years
here in this vicinity, she was widely
well and favorably known her parents
were Isaac and Fannie Bayes. The
dte of her birth was February 4th,
1872, two sisters and two brothers
survive her with her mother, Mrs.
j. F. Dimke. Frank, Robert and Mrs.
Minnie Fashbaugh, all present save
Robert of New York who is too i'll 20
come. Grace received her education
in the public school and in the Normal
she taught school three terms.
She was cashier in the Eager, Stan
dish & HIATT store for over 20 years
and was secretary of Fulton Chapter
l67 o! E. S. about ten years. 1t is
we'll known that she did her work
neatly and well, with precision and
dispatch. honestly and conscientiously
She has made a record in this COM
munity to be coveted by all persons
filing positions of trust. Her ex-
ample speaks loudly. She was con-
verted and united with the Methodist
church in 1890 under ministry Of
John W. Donnan. She kept up with
the progress of her church by reading
the Christian Advocate.
She was unusually quiet and re-
served in her demeanor, independent
in her thought and action. Her home
she loved most dearly. The vigor OF
her body gave way in the midst of hel
conscientious faithfulness. She made
a desperate effort to regain her ply
sical vigor but she faded away in g
lquiet, restful, courageous faith in the
~eward of the Christian, faithful e
the end.
Near shady wall rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in Gods fret
light,
Watered and fed by morning dew;
Shedding its sweetness day anc
night.
AS it grew and blossomed fair AM
tall,
Slowly rising to loftier heights
It came to crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a bean
of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never thought of fear O
pride,
It followed light through the crevice
length
And unfolded itself on the othe
side.
Shall claim of death cause US t
grieve
And make our courage faint o
fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive
The rose still grows beyond the wa
Scattering fragrance, far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side
Just as it will forever more.
We desire to express our thank
to all who assisted us in our grea
sorrow.

Attracts Attention of Fayette Public Attorneys
Put Up Fine Fight-Jury Hands Plaintiff
Verdict. For $1,OO00O

A case that has attracted consid-
cradle attention in the Common
Pleas Court this week has been that
of Metcalf VS. Yost, suit for damages
in the sum of $4,000.
This case was the first brought be-
fore the petit jury when they met in
their opening session of the January
term of common pleas court Monday
morning the trial continued until
Wednesday afternoon when the jury
returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, Mr.. F. R. Metcalf in the
sum of 100000.
The history of the case so far as
we have been able to ascertain il
runs as follows,
May 7th 1917 Mr.. F. R. Metcalt
was employed by Mr.. Chas. Yost to
conduct the business of the printing
office of the Fayette Review of which
Mr.. Yosb, postmaster at Fayette is
the owner Mr. Metcalf continued
in the employ of Mr.. Yost for sc
days On June 1st, 1917 Mr.. Yost
leased the office to Mr.. Metcalf for a
period of one year with the option
e { continuing the lease for two years
Things seemed to run smoothly until
September 1917 when difficulties arose
over the publication of articles writ.
ten by Mr.. Yost, which Mr. Metcal1
refused to publish-in the paper. Since
that time if one is to credit stories
that are told difficulties became
regular boarders in the Review office
and the cat left home never to return

WAUSEON'S new
BAKERY FIRM
Weber 4 ButtermOre Purchase City
Bakery From Gorsueh & Clark
New Firm Takes Possession Mon
day January 9th.

Beginning next Monday the North
side or "City" Bakery will start out
under a new firm name. 1t will be
Weber q Buttermore instead of Cor
such q Clark; the former firm having
purchased the business from the lat
ter.
The members Of the new firm are
well known to the people of Wauseon
and the fact that they are both men
who hive been in Government service:
Mr. Weber in the army and Mr.. But
hrmore, in the Navy viii commend
hem to the former patrons Of the
City Bakery as well as to many new
patrons. Eugene Buttermore has for
sometime past been employed as a
baker by Gorsuch & Clark having
gone from their employ into the ser-
vice and returning Immediately upon
his release. He is well liked by all
who know him and is a thoroughly
posted and competent baker. Harry
Weber, (Dick) needs no introduction
to the Wauseon public; a graduate of
the Wauseon High School, and one
whose saxaphone playing nearly ev-
cry one in Wauseon has at one time
or another enjoyed; he has made n
success of a poultry business which
be- built up by his own efforts and in
which he was making fine progress
when called into the service. Down
ia the Southern Camp Harry again
made good not on'v as a soldier, but
he made good in the way Of securing
rugged health and he has come back
full Of enterprise and ambition for
productive work.
We submit that such fellows as
these deserve the patronage and CO.
operation of their home town people
and we feel sure that Weber & Butte :
more will receive such support in full
measure.
Messers Gorsuch & Clark are turn

Mr. Yost for damages in the sum Of
$4500.00. Mr.. Yost filed answer and

Here is about where the story
opened Monday morning in court with
Paxson & Garfield for the plaintiff
arrayed against F. S. & J. M. Ham
for the defendant. Both legal teams
seemed to be in fine condition and
both did splendid team work for Their
respective clients. All of the deli.
cate and intimate secrets of the print
shops were ruthlessly laid bare to the
court and jury; newspaper men from
over the county were placed on the
witness stand and made to tell how
they cleaned or didn't clean their
offices; how they cleaned or didn't
clean Their type when they oiled OF
didn't oil their presses; how much
they made or didn't make on advertis-
ing; what their subscription lists
were or were not worth and were even
nuizzed in regard to the vagaries OF
their type setting machines. In fact
it was a shameless expose of all that
is near and dear to the heart of 3
printers devil but the people who were
present and there were many from
Fayette as well as from Wauseon and
other points over the county certainly
"got their moneys worth" The jury
after having a large portion of what
they had heard in the way of testi-
mony and pleadings taken from then
as not relevant to the point on which
they were called to render a decision
were out about one and a half hour:
and returned with the verdict as Civ.

GOING UP

A survey by the Department of
Labor of government salaries in the
city of Washington discloses the
fact that elevator conductors in the
Food Administration were paid as
high as 81 300 per annum, while
payment for the same service in
other departments ranged as low as
$3.50. Other lines of work show
similar discrepancies in compensa.
tions among the other government
offices.
