OF WOMEN ON THE FARM
The Farm Lighting Unit AS Relief From the Burdens
That Crush Farm-home Keepers. Practical Dem
Onstration at Wauseon, February 18th by
o. S. U. Special Train.

"The slender link of a woman's
endurance limits the whole chain Of
farm living" declares c. M. Emer-
son, consulting engineer of the
Kewanee Private Utilities Co., Ke-
vance, H., in his talk on "Electrici-
ty on the Farm"
rns scbgtItut on of the stove for
the open fireplace is the only real
Improvement generally adopted in
the equipment of the farm home.
The inventor has lightened mans
work on the farm with thousands
of labor saving devices and machines
from riding plows to windmills and
from feed grinders and tractors to
III k.ng machines.
But little has been done to tighten
the burdens of women on the farm.
No wonder the retired farmers move
to town because, nine times out of
ten, his wife is broken in health,
due TO exhaustion and overwork.
Mr. Emerson declares that the
modern isolated lighting plant offer
ed the solution for his problem Of
he cverworked farm woman. The
'garm lighting unit" as it is gen.
orally called, enabled the farmers
wife to have the most useful of the
crmforts furnished in the city by
public utilities. These include water
and electro light and power.
The use of these lighting plants
is still far to limited, Mr.. Emerson
declared, due to the prevalent no
tion mong farmers that the initial
cost and upkeep is prohibitive.
And yet a complete adequate OUT
fit costs far less than a lcng sick
moss and decent funeral of the per-
son in the farmers family whom
It would benefit and whose daily
work it would tighten immeasur-
ably, he added.
When a farmers wife loses her
health, her husband loses his wealth.
When his kitchen breaks down, his
farm also breaks down. Equipment
of the farm home with the COM
forts and conveniences that the
lighting plant provides strikes at
the root of the whole farm pro-
blen.

WAYNE B. HARRIS

Wauseon and indeed the whole
county has sustained a real loss in
the passing of Wayne B. Harris. Mr..
Harris was but young man in years
but the record of accomplishment
which he leaves proves his ability and
sound judgment as a business man
and such a businessman as is al
ways an asset of great value to the
community IN which he lives and
works.
Through the years during which
Mr.. Harris has been a resident of
Wauseon and connected with the
First National Bank of this city, he
has made many warm friends both
among the older and younger people
of the community and the reason
for this seems to US, to be that he
had the true genius of friendliness
and that he was never content with
a merely individual success; he want
ed others to succeed with him and
enjoyed helping others to find and
follow the road to success or to un-
tangle the snarls which so often
occur in the threads of our lives.
The work of his life which stands
out and which will make his name
remembered in this county for many
yeass to come, is that which he ac-
jomplished as Chairman of the Liberty
end Victory Loan Campaigns leading
the county "over the top" again and
again in the subscription of more
than the quota assigned. It was not
an easy task nor was it accomplished
without much annoying and irritat-
fhn
tient, persevering constant effort
which he gave in spite of the opposi-
tion and encouragement which he
had to face. Through it all he kept
a level head and an unruffled man
ner and generously gave to others
the glory of achievement rlaiming
nothing for himself.
No one has given of his time and
energy in public affairs and toward
the development and progress of all
departments in the life of the COM
munity than has Mr.. Harris.
AS president of the Boosters Club,
q member of the Volunteer Fire De-
partment, a member and officer in
the various Masonic orders and IN !,
tnights of Pythias, he was always
adtive in giving himself to the work
in hand and for the advancement of
the cause with which he was allied.
These who knew him best knew
him as a staunch and loyal friend.
Thoroughly honest and sincere, and
a comrade who always added to the
joy of life by his presence. He will
be- sadly missed by many and his
memory will be cherished by those
whose good fortune it was to be
associated with him.
His mother and sister have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their bereavement.
Funeral services conducted by De-
farce Commandery Knights Templar
were held at his late residence on
Fast Elm Street Tuesday at noon.
The casket, accompanied bv the
friends was taken by special car
over the Toledo and Indiana Ry. to
Sylvania for interment. All the busi-
ness places of Wauseon were closed
from IL 80 a. m. until 100 p. m. as
a mark of respect to this Young man
who has co-operated so efficiently to
make "a larger and better Wauseon.

The Beauty of the Waltham Watch

oh, what beautiful watch!"
~ How many times we have said
that, or heard others say it, when
confronted in the jewelers. shop
window or, upon his counter with
the slim, golden beauty that has
captured our admiration.
A beautiful watch has a strange
power of fascination. Its beauty
is dlive. 1t speaks to us of Time.
1t measures for us Times value
and transition. When we buy
one, it becomes Immediately a
part of our life. 1t goes every
where with us. We depend on it.
And if it fails us, we feel that ga
friend" has played us false.
We do not buy watch merely
for its good looks. If that were
so, we should not be really buying
a aUdtch but a 1Uatch case. So
the beauty of our watch must go
deeper than the outside. 1t must
reach into every part, no matter
how tiny. 1t must delve into and
be the sum and substance of the
whole "works" - the "move-
ment" that ticks the seconds, day
and night, for us.
Go
DEAUTY is much more than
ID appearance. A watch may
look good but is it good? That
is what we are most interested in.
We hear much today of "ultra +"
this and "extra" that. The
"ultra'' beautiful, the "extra''
thin, and we are apt to be con.
fused as to what is the best value
for our money.
We venture to say that there
are hundreds of thousands of
watches reposing in bureau draw
ers, or among discarded trinkets,
that were once bought because of
the "pretty," "cute," L" cunning"

ORGAN IN CHURCH
SUMMONS POLICE
Alleged Poor Box Looter Nabbed
When He Sets Crowbar
p. on Keys
FIND CASH ON PRISONER

The deep, rich tones Of an organ roll
ing forth from the German Lutheran
Emanuel Church, Fourth and Carpen-
ter streets. early today led to the dis.
Covery that the poor box had boon
looted and that nm attempt had been
made to steal the silver communion
service.
Police say Joseph Katz. who claims
he has no home, set a crowbar on
the organ keys. after starting the cleo
tiic pump. Money found OH Katz. the
police assert, was taken from the riilcd
moor box.
The Rev. DR.. Rudolph Nieder. pastor
of the church. whose home Is adjoining
was awakened at . o'clock this morning
by deep organ notes. lie arose. looked
across at the church and was amazed to
see the edifce illuminated.
Believing that the organist might be
practicing, even at that early hour. the
pastor tclephoned the home Of William
Bachman, the organist, at 1902 East
Moyamensing avenue. Bachman an
swcred the phone and assured DR.. Me
der he had been practicing slumbcr in
stead of harmony.
BaChman hurried to tho church. ac-
costing Patrolman Kellam on the way
over. They found the side window Of
the church had been forced. The poor
box had been broken open and rips on
door leading to the basement showed
an intruder had tried to reach safe
containing the communion service.
Bachman switched off the electric
pump and removed the iron bar from the
keys while Kellam searched the church
for the intruder. The search was un-
successful.
A hunt around the outside Of the
church, according to the police. located
a man, who later said he was Katz.
rrouched down behind a fence. He was
taken to the Seventh and Carpenter
streets station.
District detectives, who questioned
the prisoner, claim Katz told them he
started the organ to drown the noise
