Old Deerheld is little changed since
the Indians tralled through Massa-

public building. Various boulders
along Main street and on the Albany
post road commemorate the many
bloody struggles to push the new IRON
tier westward in those early pioneer
days.

DIR. Hartman was stationed at the
first American Air Service Station
near Toul and was in charge of the
Medical Corps of the Air Service OF
he first three armies. He has
brought back with him as souvenirs
# his service many interesting arti-
cles and a quantity of photographs
including many arial photos of places
md buildings in both France and
Germany. The one photo that DIR
Hartman is especially choice of, is
an air picture of the Air Station at
which he was stationed taken by a
German who came over the lines for
hat purpose, but who was captured
before he could get back within his
,wn lines and the photo which was
to have furnished guidance for Ger
man bombers was captured with
him.
DIR. Hartman is very glad to be
back in the u. S. and in Wauseon;
ne is not attracted by France or Ger
many as a place for residence.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
National Campaign To Secure One Million Associate
Members In Recognition of Distinguished Services
Rendered The Nation During The War Period

circular letter to the Mothers and
Fathers of American boys, calls at
tentlon to the fact that each year the
Boy Scout movement ist urning out
thousands of better boys and creating
the finest type of future American
patriots; boys who have. had the
benefit of Boy Scout discipline, train
ing and practice.
Surely there is no more worthy
movement that can appeal to the men
and women of America,
Scouts in Fulton County.
Professor Matterns of Archbold is
the chairman of the campaign in Full
ton.
The only active Scout Troops in the
county at the present time are in
Wauseons but there ought to be one
or more troops in every village in the
county and it is hoped that this CAM
palgn will awaken an interest that
Will result. IN the organization, of
troops and the securing Of proper
leaders in every part of the county.
In Wauseon there are four troops
with membership, of nearly. 100
The growth of the movement here is
due largely to the efforts, of Mr.. c..
J. Ives who for years has devoted
himself to these boys of whom every
citizen of Wauseon is proud.
Mr.. Ives as senior, scout-master is
this year assisted by three recently
appointed scout-masters: G. E..
Wager, George Gorsuch and Prof.
G. D. Perry. Back of this organiza-
ton is an advisory or executive COM
mittee composed of "a of. the busi-
ess and professional men OF the
town.
No call has ever. come for financial
aid for the organization here. in Wan
seon except through the stag days"
of years gone by. and then we re-
member that the boys divided. the
proceeds with the hospital. But It
does not follow that there has been
no need of funds.
The important thing is the interest
and cooperation of all the citizens
and especially the parents of boys
from IL to 721.
Sunday evening the churches will
held union meeting devoted to the
Boy Scouts at the Congregational
church and those who are present
viii have the opportunity of obtain
ing authentic information in regard
to this movement both nationally and
locally.

By proclamation Of President Will
son, the week Of June 9Th to June
18th, will be observed throughout
rhe United States as "Boy Scout
Week" and. the observation will take
tne form of a campaign to enlarge
and strengthen the Boy Scout or
ganization and to extend interest in
the organization by soliciting an
associate membership of one million
among the men and women of Ameri-
ca. This campaign is put on in re-
cognition of the services rendered by
this organization of boys. embracing
$4,000 of the future men Of America:
When war struck this unprepared
country, this organization, though
not a military organization, was
among the first to respond to a ma
rionsl appeal. Every boy was ready
to do anything he could do to help
meet the emergency which the nation
raced. Throughout the active days
of the war this organization of boys
could be relied upon for everything
asked of it, in fair weather or foul.
day or night the Boy Scouts of Am
erica responded with their whole
,lrted enthusiasm. When the his
tory of 1877 and 1913 is written 1t
will contain considerable mention of
this organization for it was, and is,
one of the prominent factors in Am
erican affairs.
Their Nation wide activities con-
sisted in part of selling 1857 7,047
subscriptions to the first four Lierty
Loans amounting to S278,744,650.
Fhey sold SAP, ,751 ,031 in War Saw
ings Stamps. They located $500
carloads of black walnut lumber when
the government called for that SER
vice. Collected over 100 car loads
of fruit pits for gas masks. Con-
Quoted over $4,000 war gardens,
Distributed 30,O0O,00O pieces of Gov
ernment literature, performed count
ess individual acts of service for the
government not recorded under any
special classification and served well
in the work of food and fuel conser-
vation, Red Cross and other Nation
al organizations serving the govern
ment.
It is utterly impossible for any re-
cords to tell all that they have done.
They certainly merit all the recog-
milton and cooperation which the
nation at large can give them.

American singer whose popularity is
not confined to her native land.
Throughout this country and Europe
she has won the plaudits of those
who enjoy combination of happy
personality, dramatic voice and
quite important. feminine intuition
for perfect growing. She is warm
favorite, particular y in the west.
where she has toured so frequently,
and at least part of this popularity
may be attributed to the fact that
she believes that when English is

tinctly.

sher's talk is graphic picture of a
