PEACE TREATY IS
RATIFIED BY THE
GERMAN ASSEMBLY
Ebert Signed Bill Wednesday Night
and 1t VIII Be Returned to
Allies Immediately.

Versailles, July 10.-Offlcial notifi-
cation of the ratification of the peace
treaty by the German National Assem-
bly, was given to the Peace confer
ence Thursday morning.
President Ebert signed the bill rati-
flying the peace treaty at 8 o'clock
Wednesday night, and the document is
on it's way to Versailles.
The German national assembly
plainly demonstrated Wednesday that
it wanted to complete the unpleasant
task of ratifying the treaty quickly
and without obscuring the measure in
any way with qualifying resolutions.
AT the opening of the session the Con-
servatives introduced resolution
which would have made ratification
dependent upon the judgment of rec
ognized authorities in international
law as to whether the proposed inter-
national court could institute trial and
could, with retroactive jurisdiction
and authority, impose penalties which
had not heretofore been prescribed In
international law. The resolution was
aimed at the enforcement of Articles
227 to 230, inclusive, of the Peace
treaty (providing for the trial of the
former emperor and other Germans
accused of causing the war or of vio-
lations of the rules of war 1t also
provided for the establishment of
neutral court to pass upon the ques-
tion of responsibility for the conflict.
The bill ratifying the treaty passed
the first reading and then recess was
taken to give the parties an opportun-
ity to discuss tire resolution. After 15
minutes the assembly reconvened and
DR.. Schiller, national liberal leader
and former minister OF finance stated
that he regretted the introduction of
the resolution, as it would only serve
to confuse the situation. The Conser-
vatives defended the resolution, but it
was then taken up and quickly passed
on the second and third readings, with
the opposition coming from Demo-
Gratis, National Liberals and Conserva-.
tives. DR.. Bernhard Dernburg, former
minister of finance; Frederick Won
Payer, former imperial vice chancel-
lor, and a few other Democrats voted
for ratification.

EDUCATORS OF MUCH
PROMINENCE WILDE
THE INSTRUCTORS
City Superintendent Of Capital City
Schools and Head Of Ohio Industrial
School to Instruct Mason
County Teachers.

County Superintendent George H.
Turnipseed has made arrangements
for the annual County Teachers In
stitute to be held this year the last

be- made up Just as soon as possible
and due announcement will be made.
AS has been the custom in the past
all teachers In Mason county schools
will be required to attend the institute
and will be given credit for the time

regular schools. Everything for the
comfort of the teachers will be ar
ranged and it is certain that a large
number of the city teachers will take
advantage Of the course as we'll as the
county teachers. All sessions will be
open to the public and every one is
cordially invited to attend any of the
sessions.
Besides the instructors who will ad-

Blackberry season is ON in full blast

a heavy drain on the sugar supply of

Every Letter, Package, on Bill
Mailed December LIST Should

Cross Christmas Seal.

The Red Cross Seal as mil
lions of Americans know il to
day, is an agent of happiness
and health. II was originated
in 1907 by Miss Emily +. Bis.
sell of Wilmington, Delaware,
who learned through Jacob
Riis of somewhat similar seals
that were sold IN Norway for
the purpose Of raising funds
with which TO fight tubercu-
losis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the
American Red Cross 10 take up
the idea with the result that
seals were sold in "a limited
number of communities in
1908. TIE sale yielded a reve-
nue. of approximately $1,000
The Red Cross then decided 10
issue the seal each year and Ia
turn the proceeds over 20 the
National Tuberculosis Associa
ton and lis affiliated societies
for the purpose OF financing
the campaign against inber-
cnlosis. The number of seals
seld in America increased by
leaps and bounds until in 1917
the total reached 100000 900.
This year the seals are again
on sale beginning December

they CAME, THEY
SAW, We CONQUERED
By R. v. jones, Coa:h Of the Filler Rar-
al High Schssl football Team.
Con.Iatu'ates Team

Friday, Novemcr p, mark
ed the climax to football III
the Filler High school for this
season.
In looking back three
months we cannot but feel
proud of the result.
We started late this fall with
all men green at the game, not
a single candidate ever having
PLAYED before. On the nine
tenth of October We went 10
jerome and played the Jerome
High school football team,
composed of men who had
played together for two years.
We were defeated by the over
whelming score of 100, ont
played in every stage of the
game
In one months time we met
the same team again; they had
played eight games this sea
son; we had played three; and
we beat them 7-6, not by luck,
but by good football
No one man starred on the
team. 1t was simply case of
eleven men working for a
single end, and working as one.
The spirit the boys have
shown all fall, is the spirit that
always carries a person over
the top. To have taken a
drubbine such as they get at
jerome, and to have built M
a machine like the one that
went against Jerome here, two
weeks ago, is something the
boys can always be proud of.
Mr.. Snodgrass, the Jerome
coach. who is an ex-Washing-
ton State college man, compli-
mented ouI fellows, and the
captain of the Jerome team
said his teammates had new
er played against q cleaner
playing bunch of men in their
lives.
The girls of the domestic
scien department, under the
direction of Miss Kepart, serv-
ed the men. of both teams a
lunch at the high school after
the game, which both teams
enjoyed equally well.
We wish TO take this oppor-
iunity Of thanking the people
of Filler for their support; l..
%. HUGHES, and o. /. FELTON,
of the Filler Pharmacy for sup
plying our equipment at cost;
and J. NJ. Markell for his cour-
tesy in granting Us the use Of
the fair ground field, and his
personal help in putting the
gridiron in shape.
