Steady, Republicans! This of all
times, is the time to keep the ranks
firm.
We are in the front trenches, post
ed on the firing steps, each and
every one of us and ourd uty there
IS to keep our eyes-every second =
on the opposition.
Don't let any thing in the rear
draw our gaze from the enemy's
line!
This is the imperative call to the
performance of an instant duty.
Steady!
Let not the certainty of Republi-
can success, which means so much
for the country's welfare, be les
sened in even the slightest degree by
any inability to order our own
affairs.
Our day is already certain-the
day of Rpublican victory-but we
have got to remember = and we
must remember NOW-that, sure as
the dawn is and bright as the day
will be, the moments before its
arrival must not be allowed to be
fraught with threatenings, for the
daylight will be of small use to us
in our task of making the most OF
it, if we blind ourselves before its
coming.
Let us keep our feet on the ground
we must.
Let us keep our eyes ahead-it is
our duty.
Let us keep our minds clear -ii
we don't, then Dur victory ce1 ta:a
as it is, decisive as it is bound to
prove, will fall short of that benefit
to the country as a whole which the
next four years demand from the
Republican party.
We have national duty. We
have got to pull this country out of
the slough of despond and disorder
of extravaganza, of an half-baked
and false and evil idealism. We have
got to set its feet firmly again en-
the solid highway of progress. We
have got to start it-aye, and keer
ton the road of justice to all and
from all the road of prosperity. Oh

Fiction of course predominates,
both adult and juvenile, but there is
also quite a demand for class books
with history perhaps ranking first,
biography, travel, literature, both
fine and useful arts are quite popu-

for books on psychology and
psycbical research.

STEADY REPUBLICANS!
Message to the Republicans of the United States From
Will Ell. Hays, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee.

those things that are best for every
man, woman and child among its in
habitants. We have got to restore
Americanism to America
This is the gigantic. task.
Gigantic-but we can do it.
1t is up to US. There's no doubt
about that, and we are gong to do
it thoroughly.
But we must be fit in every fibre
NOW. We must perfect our train
ing NOW.
Steady, Republicans.
Do now what you did during the
World War. Repeat the patriotism
of 1917-1918.
Hold the boat steady. The winds
may blow. We have reached the
place where the cross-currents may
run. But remember that the ripples
do not show the direction of the
main current, which flows surely
and strongly underneath this eddy
and that froth.
Here is no moment for little
things.
We have to perform a task worthy
of our party strength, worthy of
our party history; we have
patriotic work to do that is epoch
making, national.
Upon our performance will depend
the future of the country. The
chronicler of centuries to come, the
generations of Americans to be, will
look backward at these now-ap-
preaching years as of the most
tremendous import in the develop
ment of American policy-and it is
the Republican party that is to
direct that development.
Let us permit no distraction.
! No acremony among us. No
petty chickering's. Nothing MOTH
ING must decrease the certainty of
our doing well that which we are
certainly about to be called upon to
accomplish.
Let no stones be put into the
snowballs-
Loyalty to the party first.
Loyalty to the party always.
| Loyalty to the party that is to
save the counry.

wAUSEON PUBLIC LIBRARY
ANNUAL REPOR'


To the Board of Wauseon Public
Library; the following report is
submitted:
During the year beginning April
1st, 1919 and ending March 31st,
1920 the Wauseon Public Library
has been open for the circulation
of books 800 days and during this
time 1856 people have visited the
library for reference work alone. Of
this number 357 we're Juveniles. 1t
has been customary to count high
school pupils among the adult work
ere and Of the 1909 given as adult
reference, by far the larger number
were high school pupils.
This number shows q material de-
crease as compared with the pre-
vious years FIGURES The probable
reason for this is that for soma ren-
son unknown to The present librarian
no record cf either readers or re-
ference workers was made during
the month of Anvil or the first
three weeks of May.
Given bv months the reference
workers for May 1919 as recorded
were 20, June 81. JEW 20 AUGUST
12, Sept, 1877, Oct. 204, Nov. 207
Dec. POT. ian 1920 349; Feb. 207;
and Mnrch 152. This report has
been given I'M detail that II NAV
readily be seen how great difference
the school year makes in the num-
ber of reference workers
The classes in effective sneaking
and Enelish particularly fn1 mater
ial IN the library essential in doing
good work.
Many people consider the library
somewhat in the mature of al luxury
OF IL n necessity. certainly not rank
ing very high among necessities. u
fhev should visit the library of IN
evening or late afternoon during
fhe fall and winter months and see
the busy students at the tables in
both reference and reading rooms
thew would certainly revisa their
opinion concerning the inrportance of
the library in its relation to the
school.
The women BELONGING TO the vari-
ous literary clubs Of Wauseon, alsc
make FREQUENT use of the reference
works and magazines in preparing
their talks and papers. d.
A number of Delta club wom"r
have made use of our Library the
past winter and four members OF
the Senior class of Delta N. s have
come here for material for their ora.
fions.
The number Of readers using th'
library the past year was 3225, q
this number 1904 were children.
The number of books in circula
ton last year 11.776 and the tota
number Of borrowers, 9,489.
