the scouts were invited to dinner"
and such dinners as were spread out
under the trees and partaken of by
those scouts we might devote col
umns to the subject and then leave
much unsaid.
At LAS The Wauseon Boy Scout
Band gave concert at the band
stand. Director Kohier was unable
to be. with the boys but he would
have been mighty proud of them if
he had been there: His place was
ably filled by Charles Cole Jr., who
assumed the leadership of the con
cert with all the assurance of an ex-
perienced leader and put "pep" into
the boys that resulted in the best
band concert the boys have ever CIV
en- and made those whose expecta-
tions had been curbed by Mr.. Ives
explanation that the boys were very
new at the business open their eyes
in wonder and applaud their efforts
with will
then followed treat furnished by
Chas. P. Grisier ct al for the Scouts
and Camp Fire Girls which consist
ed of luscious watermelon which
had been cooled to just the right
temperature. Next came the exhibi-
tion drill: First, the Rockies"
younger scouts and beginners; who
after only one weeks drilling under
their drillmaster, Donald Grisier gave
an exhibition of marching evolutions
that would have done credit to a body
of cadets that had been in training
for months: Followed a drill by the
older divisions of scouts under the
leadership of John Outcalt who is de-
monstrating his ability as master
in the art of leadership. Their evo-
lutions were finely executed and drew
the repeated applause of the specta-
tors.
Spending their vacation at Wolf
Lake are Mr.. and Mrs. Covert, both
are expert swimmers and both have
during the past week been devoting
themselves to the scouts and the
Camp Fire Girls, teaching them &c
master the art of caring for them
selves in the water and to become
good swimmers Mr.. Covert gave
an exhibition of diving and then like
swarm of water bugs" there came
the scouts big and little for theil
afternoon plunge.
1t was a great day; it was grea
revelation and Wauseon folks home
! ward bound were busy chanting tn,
praises of Mr.. Ives and his helpers
and expressing their appreciation o
the splendid opportunity and priv
liege given So Wauseon boy scouts a

SMOKERY ROBBED
L. w. Harriman's Cash Box In Ar
cade Smokery Relieved of $112.OO
1t Would Relieve Mr.. Hartman
To Know Who Gets the Money

Last Saturday morning when Mr..
l.. W. Hartman opened his place of
business in the Arcade he discovered
that some one had taken from his
change box and cash register the sum
of $112.00. Friday afternoon Mr..
Hartman had been prevented from
making his usual deposit in the bank
by travelling men with whom he had
business to transact, failing to deposit
surplus cash he placed it in cash
box and hid it in the store.
Friday evening he left his helper
to lock up at the usual closing time
and went to the picture show. Mr..
Hartman found when he looked for
the money Saturday morning that it
was gone and on investigation he also
discovered that some money had
been taken from the cash register.
None of the stock had been dis
turbed and whoever took the money
evidentally knew right where to
look. Mr.. Hartman is convinced that
the robbery was perpetrated by
'home talent"
This is the second mysterious rob.
berry in Wauseon within a short time
the first was from the New York
Central ticket office.
If there is a moral to be drawn il
would seem to us to be: Bank youl
surplus cash every day, or keep it il
safe with the combination on o.
carry it with you," and even if yor
follow these suggestions you have M
assurance these days that you an,
your money will remain together
"If the Camels don't get you th
Fatin1as will" and if thieves dom
steal your money Old IT. C. L. vii
take it away from you.

"Wauseon Day. at Wolf Lake
WauseOn Day at Wolf Lake, Michigan -Wauseon People
Enjoyed Sunday With Their Scouts in Scout
Camp. A Full Day and Happy
One Out In The Open.

Approximately 500 people from
Wauseon and vicinity spent last Sun
day with the Wauseon Boy Scouts
IN Camp at Wolf Lake. 1t was a day
long to be remembered by the Scouts
themselves and as well by the par
ents. and friends who were their
visitors.
None of these who were present
but were confirmed in their belief that
the Wauseon scout lads are the finest
and best bunch of boys that ever
grew and that Mr.. c. ]. Ives and his
assistant scoutmasters, Geo. Gorsuch,
c. E. Wager and C. D. Perry are
performing a service whose value
cannot be computed for these boys
of Wauseon.
Many of the autos started from
Wauseon for Wolf Lake between 4
and z o'clock Sunday morning so as
to spend the whole day with the boy s
and it was safe guess that every
auto carried provisions enough to
feed good many hungry folks and
then have some left over to leave in
those camp cupboards of the boys
to whom the task of cooking their
own fare does not appeal as an un-
mixed good.
The schedule at the camp for the
day was as nearly like the regular
program as possible; with some slight
variations made necessary by the
presence of so many visitors.
The first formal event of the day,
an item Lr the regular daily program
delayed me what for the benefit
of the expected guests was alag
Raising"
The boys under the leadership Of
their patrol leaders and scoutmasters
went through the formality with
military presision and dignity giving
to the ceremony the reverent i'm
pressivness which belongs to it and
bringing home to the thought OF
those present that the future Ameri
ca will be secure in the keeping Of
these boys who are learning to com
prehend for what our National EN-
blem stands and who are gaining :
vision of its far reaching significance
The next event was the usua
"quiet hour" or as it might fttingly
be called, "out door chapel service
The Scouts and their leaders will
the visitors gathered on the bluf
back of the Lake and enjoyed tn
familiar songs, the Straightforward,
unsophisticated petitions of the boy
the reading together of the Sunda,
School lesson for the day and tn
short talks of the visiting editors.
Next came inspection" anothe
/, revelation to the visitors of wha
"just boys" are capable of in tn
way of order neatness and cleanli
ness.

the fact that auto statesmen, repair
men and all other kinds of men that
minister to the modern auto are do
ing business in Wauseon and doing
lots of it.

SCHOOL FINANCES
Wauseon School Board Takes Advan-
tage of Senate Bill No. 1s7-Passes
Resolution Asking Two Mill In
crease in Tax Levy

\ At a meeting of the Wauseon
Eoard of Education held July 18th
the Board took advantage of there
lief offered by Senate Bill No. 187
and passed a resolution asking for
two mill increase in tax levy for
school purposes in 1919. This re-
solution has been presented to tie
Board of Elections and viii be pre-
sented to the people at the Primary
election August 18th.
The School Board took this action
for the reason. that the tuition fund
from which the teachers are paid
was overdrawn at the close of the
school year June 1st 1919, $9,54O.44.
In addition to this overdraft the IN
crease in teachers salaries during
the last few years and the certainty
that there will be no decrease but
rather an increase, if suitable teach
ers are to be secured; makes an in
creased levy necessary In order to
MAINTAIN the schools.
If this levy carries it will just about
out the school finances of Wauseon on
an even basis.
In these days of reconstruction
one of the most important factors is
our educational system and there is
every reason why theschool should
be kept up to the very highest STAN
dard of efficiency. It is imperative
that this be done. We have had rea-
son here in Wauseon to be proud of
cur schools and every public spirited
citizen wants the schools to keep up
with the procession in the years
ahead.
The School Board have added a
course in agriculture and Manual
Training for the next school year, this
i has been made possible because of the
fact that Mr.. Perry johnson an ex-
perienced and very efficient teacher
along these lines in Illinois has locat-
ed near Wauseon on account of his
health. He has recovered sufficient
ly to take up the work here.
The Domestic Science course will
also be increased by employing one
teacher who. will give all her time
to that department and one other
teacher who will act as as assistant
and teach some other subject. There
can be no question as to how to vote
on the two mill levy. The Board
must have this relief or close down
on the, schools even to the stopping
point and certainly no one wants
} that.

his untimely end.
He was young man of ability
above the average and life seemed
to hold brilliant prospects for him.
His wife and daughter made the
circle of his home a happy one and

there is nothing but to still trust
that He who is over all both time

Benson leaves beside his wife and
