DO YOU?

Do you read the ads in the Tribune
each week. 1t is to your interest to
do so especially in these days of soar
ing prices. The merchants of Wau-
seon are very much and very con-
stantly on the job in these times
when prices are changing constantly
and are on the alert to take every ad-
vantage possible of the markets and
pass such advantages on to their
patrons.
The one medium through which
they may notify their customers is
the newspaper adj and there is hardly
week passes but some of our Wau-
seon business men are advertising
something that you may need or want
at real saving. The local merchant
is here to stay, his success depends
upon the service he gives in supply
ing merchandise for the community
he must perforce take into considera
tion the interests of the people with
whom he expects to do business il
order to protect his own interests.
So we say, read the ads. The
habit will save you in the course Of
years a good many dollars a grea
deal of inconvenience and will add tt
your comfort, prosperity and wei
being and you will learn that no tow
in Ohio has finer class of wild
awake business men ready to rende
the most efficient service in merchan
I d1sing than has Wauseon.

An accident that in it's results will
be counted among the worst that ever
has occurred in Fulton County took
place last Friday afternoon at the
George Becker Fertilizer plant locat-
ed on the farm formerly known as
the VanNess farm one mile north and
one mile east of Tedrow when the
boiler bursted and the explosion not
only completely wrecked the plant
but also killed Harry B. Kurz, a
young man nineteen years of age,
brother of Mrs. Becker.
Harry Kurz whose home was for
merry at Peru, Indiana was visiting
Mr.. and Mrs. Becker and was around
with Mr.. Becker at the plant Friday
afternoon.
Harry was in the boiler room
about 5 o'clock while his brother-in-
law, Mr.. George Becker was at work
in another portion Of the plant. Mr..
Becker called to Kurz asking him to
see how many pounds of steam pres
sure there was. Kurz glanced at the
dial of the steam gauge and answered
$50 pounds" Mr.. Becker then answer
ed "you better draw the fire." Kurz
spoke again stating that the gauge
showed 100 pounds pressure instead
of 80 pounds and Becker called back

HUTTON DESCRIBES
Walls PERSONALITY

Theodore NJ. Vail was the man to
whom entire credit should be given for
the present efficiency of the railway
mail and telephone service was the
statement of Noah Hutton, 116 Ft.
Wayne Ave, a personal friend of the
telephone and telegraph pioneer, who
died Friday. Mr.. Hutton is now re-
tired from active duty with the Bell
Telephone company.
Mr. Vail was general manager of
the railway mail service when M.
Hutton entered that service in 1916.
Mr.. Hutton worked under w. A. Vail.
brother of the late Mr.. Vail, but had
many opportunities to get acquainted
with Theodore NJ. Vail.
Mr.. Hutton described Mr.. Vail as a
man of tremendous vitality, genial per
sonality, and intense attention to the
big business interests with which he
was connected
According to Mr.. Hutton, Mr.. Vail
regularly attended the conventions of
the Telephone Pioneers of America,
an organization of men who have
served at least 20 years in the tele-
phone service. Mr. Vail jokingly re-
fused to admit that he was getting old,
said Mr.. Hutton. Although he was a
man of large interests Mr.. Hutton de-
scribes Mr.. Vail as most genial
host

GASOLINE SUPPLY
IS EXHAUSTED HERE

The sale of gasoline virtually cea s.
ed in Richmond and Wayne county
Friday.
Eighty thousand gallons are routed
for Richmond, but the delivery of cars
is problematical. The fire department
and physicians have been supplied
with sufficient gasoline to tide them
over the emergency.
The conservation of the fuel was en-
joined upon all motorists by the dis
tributing companies, whose agents
said the supply in their storage tanks
had been exhausted.
Necessary Work Can Be Done
Manufacturing plants and business
houses have enough fuel to keep their
trucks operating for necessary de
liveries for several days. Garages
sold it in very limited quantities to
their regular customers, but believed
their supply would not last long.
Indianapolis had no gasoline Fri
day The small towns of Wayne
county are in the same predicament.
Other cities reporting shortage are
Muncie. Newcastle, Connersville, Lib
erty, Brookville and Rushville.

MISS WHITE FILES
TO COMPEL PLACING
OF name ON BALLOT

Mandamus proceedings We're insti-
tuted Friday morning in the circuit
court by Esther Griffin White, through
an attorney, against the county board
of election commissioners to compel
them to print her name on the ballot
for the primary election May 4, as
candidate for delegate to the State Re-
publican convention.
The complaint recites that Miss
White filed her declaration according
to law, is legal voter under the Indi-
ana statute, and that she is entitled.
therefore, to appear on the ballot.
This is friendly suit to determine
the status of women in this particular
case" said Miss White. ''It is not a
question of women voting but of the
right of woman to run for delegate
to the state convention, which is
different thing. The latter might be
debatable, although l see no reason
why women, as individuals regardless
of sex or voting qualifications, should
not hold office.
But, in an examination of the laws,
it was found that 10 qualifications
were prescribed for delegates and un-
der these circumstances l see no rea-
son for my name not appearing on
the ballot"
Advised by Boards Lawyer.
Miss White said that last week,
when in Indianapolis, she talked with
Mr.. Thompson, the lawyer of the state
board of election commissioners, and
that he suggested that if the county
board refused to print her name on
the ballot, she bring mandamus pro-
ceedings, The proceedings will be
1,1n n,.f1 Cof, hxr I'd
Bond.
One of the members of the board
of election commissioners in speaking
of the action taken by Miss White,
said:
The Wayne county board of cleo
ton commissioners, in deciding that
Miss Whites name could not be print
ed on the election ballots as a candi-
date for delegate to the Republican
convention, acted on the ruling of the
and the opinion Of the attorney gen
eral Of Indiana.
Personally, l am sure. neither of the
three members of the board have any
objections to women entering the con-
test for office in the coming primary.
Question of Law.
''It simply was to us a question as
to what should be our action under
existing laws. We did not feel that
we could decide the question without
aid from the state, and consequently
asked for an opinion, which was given,
and which we have followed. The
suit to compel the placing Of Miss
Whites name on the ballot is taken
by Miss White in a friendly spirit and
is so accepted by the election COM
missioners.
AS to defending the action. it prob
ably will be a matter for the state
election board to decide what shall
be done. The question ought to be
settled, and now is as good time as
any other"

STRIKE IS LINKED
UP WITH |. W. W. BY
BIG BILL HAYWOOD
(Rv Associated PreSs)

CHICAGO, April 16.-Plans Of the
Industrial Workers of the World to
advocate the one big union movement
during the present unrest among rail-
road workers were revealed in a state
ment by William D. Haywood. former
ly general secretary and treasurer of
the !. w. w, and John Sandgren,
editor of the One Big Union month
ly, published here, today
The two leaders were quoted as de-
nying any convection between the l..
W. w. and insurgent reailroad organi-
cations now on strike, but said efforts
had been made to institute industrial
unionism" in the unauthorized rail
strikes as in all other strikes of i'm
portance.
I'VE have always agitated toward
securing recruits for the one big union
idea" Haywood was quoted. I'VE did
so in the Gary steel strike, and we
probably will do so as long as we are
an Decentralization we consider that
the goal of all industrial organization.
Would Take Over Railroads.
'Plans which the l. w. w. has been
advocating include a complete organi-
zation for a one big union with the
ultimate goal of taking over the rail-
roads and operating them by the
union.
These plans are briefly: The use
of both verbal and and printed propa-
ganda to wean the railroaders away
from all other organizations until the
one big union would have sufficient
strength to declare a general strike on
all lines, in all crafts, thus precipitat-
ing the crisis through which it is
hoped the companies will pass into the
hands of the Union"

Euen Scots Quail Before
Amer. "Snake-Bite" Booze

GREENOCK, Scotland, April 10
American rye whiskey now being i'm
ported into this country, is said to
be of the shock variety by the chief
constable here, who has filed a report
on the subject. The effects of pre-
war whiskey, he says, even when it
had not been bonded for three years
before being sold at retail, were moth
ing in character to those Of some Of
the present day whiskies, which only
recently made their appearance here.
"Whatever their composition is" the
officer declares, their effects are terri
ble They not only poison, but mad
den and leave persons nervous and
depressed after the intoxicating effects
have passed away"
These whiskies are known locally as
"snake-bite"
