A woman s fondest hope is to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-
Lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early In

the fact that the present plans do
construction of large pumping sta
tion at the Big Ditch"
COMMENT-As already stated
the old wells are good for from two
hundred thousand to 250,000 gallons
per day and for every day in the
year. In addition the pumping ca
pacity of the low service station as
planned is about 5000 gallons per
minute, or over z million gallons
per day. We believe that under
these circumstances, a moderate sized
pumping basin will suffice for some
years to come and perhaps for many
If the town grows and water de-
mands warrant it, a retention reser-
voir or pumping basin can easily be
provided at some suitable points
above the low-service pumping sta
ton.
In conclusion we think the diff
culties which the Board of Trustees
of Public Affairs and their engineers
have had in planning to provide an
Improvement which would satisfy
the reasonable water requirements
of the public fairly well and still
not exceed in cost the available ap-
preparation, have not been fully
considered and appreciated by the
writer Of the article in question and
the opponents of the present plan.
Speaking for the engineers alone,
we would be glad to plan on a more
iberal scale If only the available
srrds would hermit and we are 0f
the opinion that the Board of At
fairs possesses similar views. The
steadily advancing cost Of construc-
ton operations as evidenced by the
forward movement of cast iron pipe
during the past year from $50 per
ten up to $71.80 per ton makes the
position of the designer Of a public

One OF the most inspiring patriot
flc meetings ever held in Wauseon
was that held last Sunday evening
at the Court House in Wauseon un-
! der the auspices of the Gibbs Post
! No. 265, American Legion. The
court room was packed to it's ca
pacity before the hour for opening
and the audience remained for near
ly two hours in intense interest.
The Boy Scout Band furnished the
music that Wauseon folk never tire
of hearing, Robert Cole acting as
leader.
Rev. Durham, Chaplain of the
Post called the meeting to order, led
in the prayer of invocation and
made an appeal to service men"
to line up with the American Le-
gion. Mr.. Dunham very clearly
outlined the purposes for which the
American Legion is organized and
introduced DR.. W. H. Maddox, Vice
Commander of Gibbs Post who read
the Fulton County "Roll of Honor
/, which he stated is as yet incomplete
The roll includes all who died
while in service whether in action
in Europe or in this country. The
French Government has issued MEM
orial certificates to be presented 20

ed men. From Wauseon yandvicinityl

Following the reading of the Roll
of Honor and remarks pertaining
thereto, Chaplain Dunham introduc-
ed the speaker of the occasion,
Chaplain H. F. MacLane late of the
147th Infantry, 37th .Divisions an
organization which included many
df this Fulton County boys who
enlisted and were sent for training
to Camp Sheridan, Montgomery,
Alabama. This regiment was active
ly engaged in the Argenne and Chap
lain MacLane was with the men on
the firing line and over the top
with them; he spoke from actual
experience and first hand knowledge
and his tribute to the "boys'' of
his organization was the finest IL
has ever been our privilege ia hear
OF read. He did not endeavor to
portray them as angels nor yet as
demons, but with rare sympathy and
understanding he interpreted their
actions and words facing death and
meeting death on duty and Off duty
in such manner that the sterling
character and indonitable spirit of
the American citizen-soldier stood
clearly before the audience as some-
thing to tArfll the American heart
with pride and inspire to keep the
nation which gave them to the

for drinking purposes.
z. "The Maumee offers as whole
some water as the reservoir but
Bean Creek is superior to both"
COMMENT-This has not been
disputed and may be strictly true.
The writer Of the article would
still have his readers believe that
the engineers objected to Maumee
River water when properly filtered.
whereas this is not true, and their
only objections have been to the ex-
ccssive cost of bringing water from
The river to Wauseon in these
times Of high prices.
3. Those opposing the up
ground reservoir plan are not OBJ
Jecting so much to the quality of
water it will furnish but they doubt
that it will furnish a sufficient sup
ply"
COMMENT-It may as well be
conceded by every one that as a
general proposition, wherever de-
pendence is had upon a surface
water supply, that is, a rainfall
supply. then the larger the drainage
basin the greater the water supply
will be. The advantages of a large
are therefore apparent. The rela-
tive area or size of the several
drainage basins under consideration
is as follows:
Maumee River, 5000 So. miles.
Bean Greek, 226 50. miles.
Bad Creek, 1856 SO. miles.
Turkeyfoot, 10 SO miles.
Big Ditch, A SO. miles.
We believe the Big Ditch, though
having the smallest drainage basin,
and to that extent the least desirable
as source of water supply, will
furnish the Village of Wauseon
with an abundance of water for a
good many years to come and the
Engineers of the State Department
of Health seem to agree with us in
this opinion. we should remember
that the old Wells geor
that the old wells are good for a sup
ply of from 200 to 25O,000 gallons
per day for every day in the year,
this is an addition to the supply OBJ
tainable in the Big Ditch and seems
to have been entirely overlooked by
the opponents of the plan now un-
der consideration.
g. "The past nine months has
proven that the Engineers estimate
of the run-off for these months has
been decidedly wrong. The fact is
that if constructed last Spring 1t
would now be standing dry.
COMMENT = We do not under
stand that anything is proven rela-
tive to the rainfall of the last sea-
son, for the reason that the weather
bureau has not as yet, we believe,
Published the statistics for the year
1919. All Of our computations are
based upon an available run-off of
5.4 inches whereas the mean annual
rainfall for this territory as report
cd by the u. 8. weather bureau is
314 inches In other words, we
are counting as available rlp-off
only II per cent Of the mean annual
rainfall, which we believe is ex-
trenrly conservative and above cFiti-
cism. About 75 per cent of the
rainfall occurs during the first six
months of the year and we there
fore should not expect much from
the other six months.
