A THANKSGIVING DINNER

Miss Gushman's house on Clinton
street was the scene Of a real
Thanksgiving Dinner, last Thursday.
Thirty-eight persons, Wauseonians
and sojourners in the city sat down
together in the real home atmosphere,
which always prevades the place Miss
Gushnran presides over and enjoyed a
sumptuous Turkey dinner with all the
"fxins" from oyster cocktail throuh
to the time honored, mince and pump
kin pie. It was at once most de-
licious and boUntiful feast and the
party that partook thoroughly appre-
ciated it. Following the dinner the
guests enjoyed a social hour and no
one seemed in a hurry to break
awav from what seemed a real
old fashioned home, Thanksgiving to-
gether. Whatever else Miss Gush-
mans guests had to be thankful for
and most of them have much-they
had reason to be thankful that VAL
econ has "Phrasia" and her home. as
a place to enjoy the good cheer of de-
licious food and drink and congenial
company.

necessary to amputate u above iiis
knee. The hoy was brought tt. the
hospital in Wauseon where Dr.. Siss-
on assisted by DIR. G. S. Campbell
attended him and made the amputa-
tion. Clarence is at present in the
Wauseon Hospital and in a very seri-
ous condition. Mr.. Schlegel was bad
ly bruised. Sixteen head of cattle
and about fifty hogs were in this
building when the storm struck it;
two Of the cows and two or three of
the hogs were killed.
In the farm owned by Clement
Standish the barn was blown down
by the wind. ten head of high grade
Holsteins were killed and three others
injured Two men who were in this
barn at the time had very narrow
escape.
The barn on the farm of Rev. A..
Barker was totallv' wrecked; head
bead of cattle and hogs were kill
ed.
The barn on the II. B. Smith farm
near Delta was completely wrecked.

GEORGE SCOTT ROOS
A Sketch

Gods plans are seemingly difficult
at times to understand In the morn
we see our young friends in health
and vlgor, in the evening they have
faded away, yes young friends often
times as well as old friends are con-
tlnually passing into the great be-
yond. Today our hearts are touched
with grief and sorrow because a
gentle voice is now stilled, pleasant
smile is seen no more, the kindly
spirit of our young friend has flown
away.
George Scott Roos, one of the
three sons of G. Scott and Ora B.
Roos was born in Chesterfield Town
ship, Fulton County, Ohio, July II,
1900. His early boyhood days were
spent on the old home farm until
1915 when he removed with the fam
lily to Wauseon and entered the high
school. He was good student, dill
gent, studious and thoughtful and
because of his genial and kindly dis
position was a favorite among his
associates. He was especially in
terested in music and devoted much
time and effort to become proficient
along musical lines. He would have
graduated with the. high school class
! of last year, but was compelled to
give up his school work because of
| failing health, however, he still con-
| tinued the study of music and his
hope and ambition was to soon be
able to resume his school work and
again take his place among his young
associates. ! When the war became a
reality, hex wished to follow the
colors to the service, but conditions
of health prevented his enlistment,
but he determined to serve in some
way and his excellent tenor voice
was used in concert work through
out the community in the interest of
the Red Cross and other war needs,
and he appeared to be the happiest
when singing for the pleasure and
helpfulness of others.
When a young lad he united with
the East Chesterfield Christian
church under the ministry of Rev.
W. D. Trumbull and as he grew in
to young manhood he developed a
beautiful christian character. He
was a member of the Wauseon
Christian church and he will be
greatly missed in the Christian En-
deavor and other departments CT
church work in which he was in
terested.
Thru-out his long illness he was
always cheerful hopeful, bat
Ting strenuously to retain his wan
ing vitality and to restore his form
er health, and his devoted parents
spared neither time or money in en-
deavoring to assist him in every way
to be the victor over disease, but to
no avail. It was not so to be for on
the beautiful Sabbath afternoon OF
November 9th, 1919 the golden gates
of eternity silently swung open the
beautiful portals of heaven were
drawn aside and the spirit of our
young friend entered to be with God
where sickness and sorrow are moi
known.
So he has gone, at the early age

THE PROMISE OF HOPE

Where Selfshness jealousy Envy and Hate
Commingle with feeling and action of
The action is sordid persistent Fate
And evll-propense has far-reaching control
Thru channels of heritage pass into Life
increasing In strength thru the multiplied
Till Earth is oerspread with a maddening strife
And Nations torn with Wars horrors and fears
Oh! who OF our Land at the helm Of State
Can wisely direct in manifold loss?
So many gone, the noble and great
Were needlessly Sacrifced-led to Cross
Tho vanquished the Huns by defenders of Right
The weapons they used would put demons to Shame
Not Justice Honor that stirred them to fight
But Creed prompted hurting that poison gas fame
May Hope show the future with blessings in Store
The teachings of Christ coming forth life
Moral energies working before,
To drive out the fures contention and strife:
When Envy is stied and the graspngs of Greed
No longer are felt thru the channels of Need.
Gods blessings will and Earths bounties return
me-coming, with gladness Thanksgiving light
Intensely will glow.
The love Of new friendships warmly will burn
By sharing in hardships friendships made bright
And soothed by the mngling of tears
Our Father in Heaven-all Powers above
Sent Christ to the world-His Exemplifed Word
Procaiming to all His of Love;
Thrice blessed those who believing had heard
And now
If lessons of Christ, in His spirit taught
Christians united, devoted and true,
The peace and the holiness promised and sought
Is given wherever to faithfuness due;
Christ taught commanded and lived before
And Christians uniting, must teach it US then,
Forgetting the creeded inventions of Man
Must teach He taught thru the Golden Rule plan,
Then Wars and their rumors will be heard no

ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF
SUNLIGHT AND FRESH AIR?

AsAZhoAA f11Ns
Rex Beach, the popular author
gives this hearty endorsement of the
Red Cross Christmas seals.
Are you in favor of sunlight. fresh
air, good food and plenty of it? Of
course you are.
Then you are also in favor of buv-
ing as many Red Cross Christmas
Seals as you can afford, with possibly
a little more for good measure. Be-
cause Red Cross Christmas Seals are
sold to raise money for anti-tubercu-
losis work. AS l understand it, when
the explanation is stripped to it's bare
clean core, anti-tuberculosis work
means the distribution of Gods sun
light and fresh air to all the people
not excluding the little children Of
the tenements whose world is now
shamefully lacking in these glorious
necessities of life. And if the peo-
pie have the sunlight and fresh air
they deserve they will be able to pro-
vide themselves with the nourishing
food which they need.

ATTACKS GRAVITATION LAWS
Newton's Theory Not Absolute, De-
eIares Prof. Maiorano, Ital-
ian Scientist.

Rome, Italy.-Newton's theory or
gravitation has been attacked by Pro
fessor Maiorano, who, speaking before
q meeting of prominent scientists here,
declared the results Of experiments he
had performed upset the hitherto ac-
cepted laws Of physics governing the
motions of celestial bodies. Newton's
theory, while hitherto considered alb
solute, Is only an approximate hypoth-
esis, according to Professor MaiOrano,
who supports this assertion by show
ing that a ball OF lead coating In mer-
curry becomes slightly lighter.
From this the professor deduces four
things:
First that bodies have both a true
and an apparent mass. the true mass
of the sun being double the apparent
mass.
Second, that the stars attract other
bodies with forces entirely different
from those thus far admitted to eX-
list.
Third, that the solar heat OF stars is
generated by the force OF gravitation
emanating from interior strata. From
this, he argues, the solar system has
had an immensely longer life than has
been believed by scientists until the
present.
Fourth, that the evolution Of the
world has been closely linked to the
phenomenon which he has discovered

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get q large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for abont so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen n sponge or soft
brush with il and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at q
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
