SPECIAL NEWS ITEMS
FROM WASHINGTON

The signs of the time written across
the political armament indicates that
the League of Nations is already
beaten in the United States Senate.
New York press dispatches in New
York papers favoring the League, are
carrying the stories that the Repub-
licansI are beginning to talk reserva-
tions with the President. This Is
sure indication that the President
seeing that he is beaten, is preparing
the way to accept reservations. He
has been sending for Republican Sena-
tors to meet them at the White
House. Snator Norris of Nebraska
was one of the first Republican Sena-
tors to be invited to the White House
by President Wilson and declined the
invitation 1t is said that Senator
Norris stated to friends that he did
not care to hear anything from the
President in confidence about Shan
tung or any other part of the Peace
Treaty of League of Nations Coven-
ant. "Let him tell the American peo-
pie the reasons why we should adopt
this thing without change" he de-
clared. There are thirty-five Sena-
tors that will not sustain this League

PRINCIPLE SIMS RESIGNS

Mr.. C. M. Sims has rendered his
resignation as principal of the High
School and Board of Education at a
special meeting held Monday voted
to release him. Mr.. Sims has been
called to the principalship of the
Piqua, Ohio High School at salary
of $3.50 for the year. His many
friends here in Wauseon are glad
for this advancement which they
know Mr.. Sims merits, but it is with
sincre regret that they lose both
Mr.. and Mrs. Sims from the COM
munity. Both have rendered faith
full and efficient service in the schools
of Wauseon and have taken their
places in the social life of the COM
munity. They have come to sem
like our very own folks and there
was not a little pride felt in our
hearts because we could say that
they belonged to Wauseon. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Sims will make friends
wherever they go and in this case
what is Wauseon's loss will be
Piqua's gain.
1t is one of the disadvantages OF
the small town with limited means
that when we do get some one who
developes ability above the average
along any especial line; the larger
town with larger funds upon which
to draw will take from US those that
we have not the means to keep.
We predict that Mr.. Sims will rise
rapidly in his profession and we
wish for both Mr.. and Mrs. Sims and
their son the largest possible
measures of prosperity and success.

WHEAT INSECTS
R. A. Cave County Agent Reports
on Wheat Pests in Fulton County
and Advises in Regard to Methods
to Check Their Ravages W
Hessian Fly

Tn percentage of Hessian Fly was
counted in ten different wheat fell
of Fulton County, and an average
Of Is per cent was found. The Hes
sian Fly begins to hatch out and lay
eggs about the first week in Septem-
ber. It takes about week or ten
days for the eggs to hatch and the
larva to begin eating the young
wheat. If there is no young wheat
for the eggs to be laid on and for
the larva to eat the fly will die.
We can easily see the necessity
then, of sowing wheat at such date
that the flies can not affect it. In
this territory that date will net be
before September 17th.
It will take concerted action on the
part of the farmers of Fulton County
to- head off the Hessian Fly this Fall.
but it will be well worth while. If
one field in a neighborhood is sown
to wheat early enough to become af-
fected by the fly all the fields in that
neighborhood are likely to become in
Tested and damaged when the flies
hatch along in April of the succeed
ing year.
There are two broods of the Hes
sian Fly, fall brood and a spring
brood. If no wheat is sown early
enough in the Fall to be affected there
will be no spring brood. If some
wheat is sown early, however, the
flies will hatch out in that field in
the spring and fly to many other
fields in the same neighborhood.
Every farmer should see that no
wheat is sown in his neighborhood
before September 17th, the fly free
date.
Wheat Midge or Red Weevil
The "red weeyil" as it is commonly
known has caused considerable
damage to Fulton County wheat
fields this year.

ALL SET

The Wauseon Redpath Chautau-
qua opens Saturday afternoon,
August 9th, at the North Side Park,
according to G. V. Smith, advance
representative who arrived here. this
week. The 1919 Chautauqua pro-
gram is proving the most popular
the management has ever presented,
THE Chocolate Soldier" which comes
on the fifth day, brings a cast of
twenty-five people, with orchestra,
costumes, and stage settings. "The
Melting Pot" one of the most tense
of all American dramas, is to be
staged on the third day by a cast
of ten players. Other star attrac-
tions are: Madame Sibyl Sammis
MacDermid, dramatic soprano; Cap
tain Paul Bewsher of the British Air
Force; Knight McGregor, Scottish
baritone; Katharine Ridgeway, en-
6ertainer.
Chautauqua patrons have learned
that one of the best programs of the
week is presented on the opening
day. This season is no exception to
the rule. The Redpath manage
ment announces the Althea Violin
Chorus. There is a peculiar appeal
in the singing of these young women
and in the melody of their violins.
Featured with the Altheas is
Bonnie Brook, who never fails to
please her audiences with her de-
lightful readings. The six young
girls in this company have the COM
plete program on Saturday after
noon and in the evening give 80
minute prelude to Colonel Beau
.hamp's lecture in what he calls his
1919 edition of "Take the Sunny
Side"
Season tickets are on sale at all
of the business houses of Wauseon
row is a good time to buy so as to
be ready to enjoy the very frsc pro-
gram. The prices remain at $2.1C
for adult course tickets and $1.10 for
joint worm will be in the straw rak-
ed up since it usually affects the
straw above where it is cut off by
the binder. Another insect parasite
is working on the joint worm. It is
present in Fulton County and it is
hoped will greatly decrease the dam
age from the joint worm.

PRIMARY ELECTION
WauseOn viii Nominate Municipal
Officers Tuesday August 18th
ArchOld, Chesterfield, Fulton ;,
Lyons, MetamOra and Wauseon
Vote on Increased Tax Levy

Next Tuesday is an election day
in Wauseon; to be sure, its only a
Primary Election and the purpose is
to nominate a set of municipal Off
GERS for the village whose names
shall appear on the ballot at the real
general election in November; but
there will be real ballots and voters
will go through all the motions of a
sure enough election. There won't
be any saloons to close this year b1t
Wauseon voters are used to getting
along without saloons closed or open
so that won't make much difference
There are to be nominated candi-
dates for Mayor, Clerk, Marshall,
six Councilmdn, three Trustees IF
Public Affairs which includes the
water-works board, a treasure and
an assessor.
In Wauseon, Chesterfield, Arch
bold, Lyons, Metamora and Fulton
the question of an increased tax levy
of two mills for school purposes for
1919 will be submitted to the voters
in the school districts named.
If this increase is voted next Tues
day it will relieve the situation in
these districts. There is hardly
school district in the State which is
not facing a shortage of funds this
year and in many cases it is ques
ton of getting this relief or closing
up the schools for two or three
months of the school year. 1t is
to be hoped for the sake of the
schools and the representation of
the people of Fulton County in
things educational that the two mill
tax levy carries in every one of the
above named places.
In Wauseon the Democratic bal
lots will be blank; no names will be
printed on the ballots, voters will
have to write in the names of the
candidates whom they wish to nomi-
nate. The Republican ballots are q
little better; though there will be
ample opportunity for voters to prac-
tice their hand writing on this bal
lot. Names of candidates printed
on the Republican ballots are:
C. M. Bulger, for Mayor; James c.
King, for Clerk; Henry j. Schlatter,
Henry Williams and Geo. ]. Oakley
for councilmen.

COURSES OF STUDY
Courses of Study Offered in Wau-
seOn High School For School Year
1919-1920 All Courses Better Or
ganized - Many New Subjects
Added

This summer seems to be unusual
because Of the many inquiries re-
garding the work to be offered in
Wauseon High School during the
coming year. In another month
school will open and it is good news
60 know that our young people are
already thinking and planning for
school. To enable both pupils and
parents to know what is offered the
school authorities present outlines
for six courses of study.
1t has been found that only about
40 to so per cent of the pupils en-
tering our High School graduate.
The others drop out for various rea-
sons. However the chief reason
seems to be the students inability
to find work in school that appeals
to him as sufficiently interesting Or
practical to make schoo. work worth
while. Other schools have the same
difficulty. Often there are not suf
ficient pupils demanding a subject
to justify the organization of a
class. Pupils often do not know
what they want. Lack of funds
often prohibit the purchase of nee
essary equipment for some courses.
For example, forging, wood turning,
pattern making. drafting, etc.,
should be offered but equipment and
instructors are lacking. For the
same reason Music and Art are
omitted. However the School Board
has done it's best and has the salts
faction of knowing that each year
more work is offered and more op-
portunities are extended to our
young people. It is matter of
pride to know that Wauseon High
School has done high grade work.
Parents and students are request
ed to study carefully the courses
below outlined. First, of possible,
| let it be determined what is to be
the pupils life work. Is he going
to college? If so, elect the Classical
or Scientific courses, or possibly the
Home Economics or Agricultural.
Each year the teachers hear sever
al seniors lament the fact that they
did not elect their work so that they
can enter college without conditions.
There is too often a tendency to elect
what are rearded as "snap" courses.
and later there are regrets. No use
being afraid of hard work if we want
to reach the top. The superinten-
dent and teachers will be pleased to
consult with pupils and parents re-
garding the best selection of work.
Why not preserve the co1"ses Of
study hrewith printed for future
refenence.

The Old and The New

The world is not what it in the old time
When woods stood around with wild wolf bear;
Each then, thot of others exposed to dangers
And rushed to be helpful, in dangers to share;
He snatched from its place then his well loaded weapon
Tho coarse his vesture, his feet roughly shod
A warm sense of duty athrob in his bosom,
His duty plain the mandate of God
Tis wealth that commands widespread attention;
The CLEAN of the gems that encrcle her neck,
Have wonderful charm drawing helpfuness her.
Tho the charm may all in the size of her check.
Not hope of relieving suffering and pain
Calls help to her side with such fervent devotion
'Tis self that's enchanted with prospect Of gain
o, bright the pictures that memory treasures
Of friends and the scenes, of the far-away Past,
Then Friendship foundations builded;
The skies seemed the brightest when all enjoy
Were never by envy's black clouds
Aye wealth wins the of soulless adherens-
To vantage they seek all their service is due;
But NEED is the crucble that gives the pure metal;
The friendship it brings will be constant true
Twill even into the life that's eternal
In holiness there will soul-kinships
