BRIEF COUNCIL
MEETING HELD
Council Transacts Only Necessary
Business Monday Evening and Ad-
jOurns to Meet Thursday Evening
Tribute of Respect to Late Coun-
Gilman Hanson.

1t was a quiet and subdued group
of Village officials that met in the
Council chamber last Monday even
ing for the regular council meeting.
The vacant chair of councilman r.
F. Hanson was a reminder Of the
fact that he would never occupy that
chair again; and among his asso-
ciates this fact cast its shadow I
sadness, for he was held by them in
high esteem both as a comrade and
for his splendid executive ability
and good judgement in dealing with
the problems which have come before
the council for solution.
The routine and reading of the
minutes were quickly disposed of and
matters on the docket requiring i'm
mediate attention were taken up and
cared for. The Claim Ordlnanc
which included unpaid accounts held
over for a period of several weeks
was read by the Clerk and passed by
vote of the Council.
The Mayor asked representatives
of The Ohio Gas. Light and Coke
Co. who were present to postpone
the presentation of the matter they
had at hand until the adj&rned
meeting and the request was veIy
courteously and willingly granted.
The Mayor appointed Messers
Gorsuch, Ives and Schlatter a COM
mittee on resolutions to prepare
statement of the Councils estimate
and respect for the late E. F. Hanson
and going into a committee of the
whole the entire city administration
arranged for a floral tribute to ex-
press its appreciation of the SER
vices of Mr.. Hanson and its sincere
sorrow in his decease. Following
adjournment cf the council members
gathered in an informal way to ex-
press themselves and give their per-
sonal tributes to the memory of their
associate. All were shocked by the
suddenness of his demise and each
one seemed to feel that the loss was
a personal one; some expressing
themselves as feeling as though a
member of their own family had been
taken from them. There were many
expressions of sympathy for the be-
reaved family and manifest desire
to do something that would help i'll
some way to tighten the burden of
grief which rests upon them.

SAFETY FIRST IN
WAUSEON BANKS

Both the banks of Wauseon are tc
be commended for their enterprise
and progresiveness, both in increasing
the facilities for prompt and efficient
banAIng service for the people of the
community and for safeguarding tn
financial interests of their depositors
At the Peoples State Bank a day
or night burglar alarm is being in
stalled which when complete will bi
the very best and most efficient ap-
pliance for TIE prevention # Joss b.
burglary that has Deen produced pr
to date.
In case of an attempted day light
robbery, an alarm can be given which
will attract the attention OF officers
and citizens for blocks away; this
is accomplished by concealed levers OF
push buttons so placed that no mat
ter in what part of the banking L
any of the force may be it will be
possible to press one of these levers
which will set going a powerful gong
outside of the building and one in
side the building.
The bank is protected against night
time burglary by the installation uf
system whereby the attempt to
force entrance to the vault will set
going loud alarms which will bring
officers and citizens to the scene at
once.
The public will be given a demon
stration of these alarms in the near
future.
The beautiful and convenient ar
rangement and furnishings of the
Pc Piles State Bank is so well known
that comment is unnecessary.
The First National Bank has also
been undergoing extensive and in
tensive building changes and i'm
provements. A hew burglar proof
vault has been installed, also the
very latest thing in the way Of a
burglar proof vault door, that me-
chanical science has produced. This
door is a marvel of mechanical and
chemical skill and it's powers of re
sistance to force are raised to the
nth degree"
Other changes in process at the
First National are the enlargement
Of the working space, the removal Ct
the directors, room to the basemeI
and the refnishing and redecorating
of the first floor and basement which
will make these floors not only con
venient and ,mfortable, but, az we
beautiful; a combination of utility,
security and beauty that will make
this bank a very attractive bushes
centre.
The fact is not to be overlookei
that back of both of these banks there
is a directorate of responsible, reput
able citizens of unquestioned integ
rity and high class business and ex
ecutive ability, without which no in
stitution however well equipped and
protected physically, can be relied
upon to safeguard and protect the in
terests of its clients.
Both Of these institutions merit tn
confidence Of the citizens of this com
munity and the prosperity of tae con
munity will increase in proportion "a
he number Of citizens who acquire ii :
"pay by check" and saving habits.

SMOOT SAFEGUARDS
AMERICAN INDUSTRIES

Senator Reed Smoot has introduced
an anti-dumping bill designed to pre-
vent Germany or any other country
from selling goods in the United
States at less than cost in order to
destroy American business. In pre-
senting the measure to the Senate Mr..
Smoot called attention to the fact
that there are today in German ports
ready for export to this country,
cough dye-stuffs to supply all our
needs for two years in the future.
If they should be brought in here and
sold at a low price our dyestuff in
dustry built up during the war,
would be speedily destroyed. Sur
gical instruments, the Senator cites
as another product, practically our
entire supply of which was imported
from Germany before the war. Now
the domestic demand is met by
American manufacturers, but already
many orders are pending for Ger
man goods at prices that make it
absolutely impossible for the Ameri-
can manufacturer to compete.

LEOLA LUCEY "a
Owes All To Her Love For Her
Mother

When Leola Lucey, the popular
Broadway musical star, who is to give
a concert N Wauseon, in the High
Scnool Auditorium on Tuesday, No
vember 4, 1919 at 8:45 p. m. first de-
lust one idea in her head. You see
1t was up to Miss Lucey to devise a
way to support the family.
Believing firmly in her voice, which
showed great promise when she was
young girl, MISS Lucey applied to
the manager of a big musical show
and received a position in the chorus.
During the years she spent. IN the
chorus. before she bIossomed into
rea' star heself, Miss Lucey thought
only of he mother. Her ambition,
was always to do more and greater
things for her mother. Even when
she was earning twenty-five dollars
/ week in the chorus, Miss Lucey
sent fifteen of it home, regularly to
! the beloved mother. And as she work
ed and studied and climbed upward
on the ladder of fame, Miss Lucey's
mother remained her guiding star,
the object of her greatest affection.
They are great friends, those two,
and are seldom separated from each
other except when 1t is necessary for
Miss Lucey's career.
''Really, it is wonderful to think of
some one like my mother thinking of
me all the time," says Miss Lucey.
"Her solicitude for me is really
; laughabIe sometimes, if it were not
so DEAR" she adds appreciatively.
And Miss Lucey's mother would
say, How wondeful it is to have a
daughter like Leola Lucey always
thinking of her mother first, when
there are so many greater attractions
to take up the time of a popular
young star"
But the secret of their faith in
5 each other is the mutual understand
: ing and the constant joy in each
others society Miss Lucey puts her
!, mother first, before everybody else In
!, the world, and it is to hes mother
1 that she insists she owes her grea!
success.
'Love for a mother and hope fol
= the best things for mother, vii
= make every girl succeed in ife,, she
y says.
:. Miss Lucey's concert on Tuesday
: promises to be one of the best of tht
q season. She is in splendid voice, an.
i her appearance in Wauseon will givt
v, her an opportunity to sing some o.
!. her dearly loved Irish songs, Tues
i days concert will be an invitation
e affair and it is expected that all thu
i young stars followers will be presen
n in body.

PROTECTION PROGRAM
Under WAY

The Republican House already has
passed five bills for the better pro
lection of certain American indus
tries. They cover coal tar products
tungsten ore and its manufactures.
zinc ore and manufactures, shell and
pearl buttons, and labratory glass
ware, scientific and surgical instru-
ments. The only reason those mea-
sures have not bee take up by the
Seate and enacted into law is the
fact that thet reaty with Germany
is occupying the time of that body-
Senator Penrose, chairman of the Fl
mace Committee, to which they have
been referred, has stated that he vii
not permit interference with the treaty
by seekigg cosideration of the bills
AS soon, however, as that momeu
tuous document is disposed of We
may expect to see all of those pro
tective tariff measures reported from
the committee and made law.

A CALL FOR $4,000
CENSUS ENUMER ATORS

The Director of the Census, Hon.
Sam L. Rogers, announces that 80 =
coo enumerators will be needed to
take the next census. The work be-
gins on January 2 and will last about
two weeks in cities and month Ur
more in rural districts. Rates. of paw
will, vary, depending upon the locali-
~ and character Of the district to
be canvassed. The average pay per
enumerator at the census of 1910
was about $40. At this coming cen
sus it will probably be not less than
500.
Active, intelligent, and reliable
men and women, not less than Is
years of age are needed for this task"
said Director Rogers, and in sense
this Is a call for volunteers. The i'm.
portance Of a complete, reliable CEN
sus, especially in these critical times
when more than ever before perhaps
we need complete data regarding pop
latiion, conditions, tendencies and re
sources, can hardly be over-emphasiz
ed. The reorganization Of the socia
and economic structure and the read
justment Of international relations
necessitated by the War must be bas
ed ON accurate knowledge if we ar,
to act wisely and deal justify with al
classes and all interests. It is hoped
therefore, that public-spirited, enor
getIc people throughout the countr.
will volunteer to act as census enum
orators even though they may no
care for the positions so far as tn
pay is concerned. should be sorr
TO think, and do not believe, tina
all our patriotism was used up by tn
War and none left for public sevic
in times Of peace.

Records of milk production and
cost of feed will be kept on every
cow in every herd entered. This
will enable the owners to detect and
eliminate improbable cows and thus
increase the average production of
their herds.
The organization of this associa-
tion which is part of the program
of work of the Fulton County Farm
Bureau means a step in advancement
in the dairy business and shows that
the dairymen of this community are
looking ahead to increased produc-
tion in their herds.
