MAY WITHDRAW FORCES
FROM RUSSIA

Report has it that the American
force at Archangel is to be withdrawn
and if there is to be any further po-
lice duty to perform in that country
troops of Europe countries will at
tend to it., That information comes
as a great relief to the people of
Wisconsin and Michigan, from which
States most of the young men in the
Russian expedition were taken. Most
narrowing stories are related of the
privations and sufferings of those
soldiers, and the impression is wide
spread that it was quite unnecessary
to send them there in the first place
or keep them at Archangel after the
capture of that port had been accom-
plished. Secretary Baker compla-
Gently tells the country that he has
heard no complaints concerning the
Russian situation. IF that be true
it is only because the letters of sor-
rowing mothers addressed to him
have found their way into the waste
basket instead of being laid upon his
desk. 1t is only too apparent that
if our small force is retained at that
isolated spot it must be reinforced to
prevent determination by the Boil
sheviki The demands of Republicans
in the Senate Houes that the boys
be withdrawn at once appear to have
reached the ears of the Powers that
be. and their return to more civilized
surroundings is promised.

TO THE PUBLIC

In retiring from business we de-
sire to thank the people of Wauseon
and vicinity for the patronage which
We have enjoyed.
There have been times when we
experienced difficulties but our true
friends were always back of US to en-
courage and help us. We especially
desire to thank those who SO faith
fully stuck by US during the past
year when at times, our product was
not all that could be desired owing
to the necessity of using flour SUBJ
stitutes.
In the new firm of Weber, & Butter
more, we fee sure you will have two
men who will, at all times give you
the best service possible. Mr.. Butter
more he's been with US for two years
with the exception of a few months
when he YVES in the service of his
country. Mr.. Weber needs no nero

everyone knows Dick" Weber to oe
N honest, trustworthy, hustling

With Mr. Buttermore to look after
oiuction and Mr.. Weber ably
assisted by Miss Porter, to attend to
the selling we are sure you have a
combination which will satisfy the
most particular people and we be-
speak for them a continuation of the
patronage which you have accorded
us. Get the "Trade At Home" habit
and help these worthy young men to
give you a first class bakery.

NATION DRY ONLY
AFTERLONGF FIGHT
Interesting Review of the Battle
That Has Ended in Victory for Pro-
! bibition Appears in This Iesue Of
The Tribune.

Nation wide prohibition is coming
to the United States with swiftness
that could not have been foreseen one
year ago. At that time the history
of the battle to- make the country dry
contained nothing that seemed to
promise final success for the cause
within so short time.
But now, a year after the prohibi-
ton amendment to the federal con-
stitution was submitted to the states
by congress, it has been ratified by
more than the required number of
states and in another year the coun-
try will be dry unless the unforeseen
occurs.
In view of the suddenness with
which the battle has ended. at least so
for as legislative action is concerned.
and the tremendous Importance of the
event, it is of the greatest interest TO
review the fight that has been waged
for many years to bring about this
result. The Tribune is publishing on
another page of this issue a story Of
this fight that every reader will find
well worth reading. It is the story
of a battle marked by many dramatic
incidents. It is not story for pro-
hibitionists or anti-prohibitcnsts but
an impartial review of events tina have
made history not only for United
States, but for the world.
The Tribune feels sure that this re-
view will be Of very great interest to
Ii its readers.

PLAN TO MEET The
WATER SITUATION
Water Works Board Present Emergency to Council and
Citizens Plans for Temporary Relief and Per-
manent Suppy-Counc Proceedings

Wauseon is not without water
either for industrial or domestic use
or for fire projections: The reason,
lies with the Water Works Board,
the Mayor and members of the coun-
cll, the Fire Department and others:
Last Sunday the wells at the Water
Works plant gave out and a hurry
call was sent out to the Water Works
Board and village officials to consii-
er the emergency. The result of the
conference was that the fire truck
(once known as "the Firemens play)
thing') was called into requisitlon
and placed on ditch that comes
corner of Wauseon corporation; it
has been pumping water into the
mains and will continue to do so
until it is replaced by pump which
has been ordered for the emergency.
In the mean time the cisterns at the
plant have been filed with water
from one of the wells that is still pro-
duclng a small amount of water, this
furnishes adequate protection against
possible fire. The Fire Truck can be
disconnected at minutes notice
and the Firemen on duty with the
truck have telephone connection with
the central exchange so that any fire
alarm can be wired them at once.
Monday the three members of the
water works board, Messrs. Lyon,
Guilford and Harper went to Toledo
for the purpose of looking up equip
ment to take care of the situation tenn
porarily and relieve the Fire truck;
Messrs Lyon and Harper were at the
council chamber Monday evening to
report the result of their investiga-
tions and to ask for suggestions and
counsel in regard to the steps that
shall be taken by the board in the i'm
mediate future.
The attention of the council and
citizens present in the council cham
Der Monday evening was concentra-
ted upon the water supply situation
and council proper was not called to
order until nine o'clock.
Two principal problems were pre-
sented: First and Immediately press
ing for solution was the problem of
keeping up an adequate supply OF
water until a permanent system can
be put in operation: Second the big
problem of Installing a system of
water supply that shall be adequate
to the needs of the town now and in
the years 30 come, safe so far as the
public health of the community is con-
cerned and reasonably certain of re-
naming constant. The first prob
'em was taken up with will: Mess
ers HARPER and Lyon reported what
equipment could be secured within the
next two weeks and laid before the
meeting tentative plans for meeting
the situation; discussion followed sug-
gestions were offered and the plan of
securing the water temporarily from
the ditch referred to in the foregoing
by placing a pump capable of deliver
ing into the mains 300 gallons of wa
ter per minute was selected as the
most practicable.
The second problem was also dis
cussed and the Water Works Board
We're urged to proceed with all posi-
BILE speed to secure the advice of COM
petent engineers and obtain estimates

PRACTICAL
PATRIOTISM
Cooperation of All Citizens Essen
tial to Successfully Meet Problem
Of Water supply-Caution and
Conservation.

Wauseon is facing a peculiar
emergency in regard to the water
supply for the village. The deep wells
at the pant have suddenly given out,
ana II IS absolutely necessary to the
NE Of The town that a supply of
water be secured both for domestic
use and to keep the industries upon
which the whole community direct "
or indirectly depends, running. The
Water Works Board have been obhg-
cd, as temporary expedient TO meet
the situation. to pump surface water
into the mains; They are doing the
best they can and all they can under
the circumstances. This is no time
for criticism, what is needed is whole
hearted cooperation real practical
local patriotism Every citizen can
live it If they will; First by strict OBJ
servance Of the caution sent out by
the Board Of Health to use no water
for drinking from the hydrants with
out first boiling, water from surface
wells should also be boiled before
using for human consumption. Safe
guard your own health and the health
Of the community by observing this
caution.
Second by conserving the present
supply Don't waste any water. use
what you need, but don't leave fau-
Gets open and water running.
The Fire Truck engine is on the
job and saving the situation, it has
been working night and day until
recently. Now in oxder to conserve
the engine, it will cease pumping
from about 8 p. m. to 5 a. m. Gov
ern your reserve supply of water for
the night and early morning accord
ingly, An ample supply of water is
he'd in reserve and win be instartly
available in case of fire The e

keep up the supply. The Water
Works Board have asked for and re-
ceived the advice and suggestions OF
the council and other citizens; COM
petent engineers have been retained
and steps will be taken Immediately
to secure an adequate and permanent
supply of pure water at the earliest
possible date and by the most econ
omicai method.

filtration plant; then to sei4ct the
best and most economical plan and
push the matter of construction and
completion of such a system.
Inc question of a water supply
for the town is one of vital IMPORT
ance; 1t IS essential to the domestic
welfare of the community and it is
no less vitally important to the indus
trial and commercial life of the com
munlty. AS a single illustration;
(and we are not subsidized by the
an Camp Company or any. other com
pany) if the water supply fails the
Van Camp condensory will be obliged
to cease operating. This one indus
try since its Inauguration in Wauseon
has paid out for milk to the dairy
men of this vicinity from $4,000 to
over $100,000.00 per month and this
exclusive of wages and salaries to
the corps actually engaged in operat-
ing the plant. The milk pay roll of
this plant for the present month is
over $128,000. 1t does not require
very much complicated calculation to
determine the value to Wauseon. and
indeed to large territory contiguous
to Wauseon, of water supply suffi-
cient to keep this industry going; fur
ther more this industry does now and
always have paid for every gallon of
water delivered to them by the will
age. Other industries in the town
might be cited and if an adequate
supply of water is assured there will
be other industries come to the town.
Without an adequate supply there is
no possibility of growth along this
line.
Wauseon has passed that stage
when water supply could be left to
the individual citizens to take care Of
as best they might; to-day it is a
prime necessity; it is something we
must have. 1t will cost money, a
lot of it but it will be worth all it
costs and without it we stand in the
way of losing what we have.
