GEORGE WASHINGTON AND OHIO
By the Historical Research Bureau

By the Historical Research Bureau
The great possibilities resultant
from the development of the Ohio
Country were realized by two nations
at very early day-France and Eng
land. George Washington was
awake to the situation from his
earliest manhood and historians have
passed over his connection with Ohio
affairs all too lightly. "He had the
prophetic eye and the thrifty hand in
business as in politics. He foresaw
the future development and rising
value of the western domain no less
than the pretend toward dire diffen-
ences with the mother government"
says Randall.
In 1772, London Company headed
by Thomas Walpole, Benjamin
Franklin and John Sargent, being
Americans interested, were conceded
a grant of an immense area of land
on the Ohio, which had been ceded
to the King by the Indian Nations at
the treaty of Fort Stanwix, in 1868.
1t included Southern Ohio as far west
as the Scioto, and absorbed the pre-
vious grant made to the Ohio Com
pany. The new province was to
have been called Vandalia, with the
capital at the mouth of the Kanawha
river. The American Revolution an
nulled the scheme which had been
watched with much interest by Wash

FOOT BALL

In game that was filled with argu-
ments and fights, Swanton took the
long end of Foot Ball game Sun
day at Athletic Park.
Several times the Swanton team
were in danger of scoring on Wau-
seon being few yards from the
goal, but they missed making their
downs and the ball went to Wauseon.
The Wauseon team had three of
their best players out of the game
with injuries, Buttermore, Krauss
and Theobald. These men will be in
the game today against Delta.
The Swanton team were able to
make most Of their gains by bucking
the line. Hubbard was the star per-
former on the team but in the last
play of the game he was knocked
out.
Tedrow starred for Wauseon and
made good many gains. He is the
making of a good foot ball player
with some good coaching.
The only score was made in the
Sd quarter. The Swanton quarter
back fumbled the bail, regained it
and ran 20 yards around the end for
a touch down.
Score Swanton 7-Wauseon O,

DODGING JURY DUTY

Another reason why justice seems
so often to miscarry in the courts of
this country is the practice of many
good and useful citizens of lodging
jury duty, Men of the type on our
juries can easily make far more
money at their business than the
state is able to pay for the same
length of time served on a jury. AS
result too many who are unfit to
sit in judgment get on our juries be-
cause men of better judgment refuse
to serve. So we nave unpopular YER
diets in many instances, Don't
dodge jury duty. Serving when it
is at all possible for you to do is as
much duty as paying your taxes
and doing what you can to protect
the health of the community. You
owe it to the state, the county you
live in and to your neighbors. to lend
what assistance you can in protect.
ing society and seeing that justice is
meted out to every man. So don't
be guilty of negleting your duty by
finding an excuse to escape serving
on a jury,

HOME. ENTERED
SATURDAY. MORNING

Things are beginning to happen
right here in Wauseon. Last Saturday
morning, the home of E. S. Bay on
Superior street was entered by some
unknown person. Mr. Bay was away
and Mrs. Bay was alone with the
children. About 200 a. m. she
heard noise in the house and imme-
diately locked her bed room door.
1t was not long before the intruder
was at the door and tried to open it.
On finding it locked he threatened to
break it open if Mrs. Bay would not
unlock it. While the thief was
making threats to break open the
door the little girl screamed and
awakened Mr.. W. D. VanRensselaer
who lives next door. He called and
asked what was the trouble and on
being told, the thief made his escape.
Mr.. VanRensselaer Immediately
called the Sheriff and a thorough
search was made but was not appre-
hepded.

START SHOPPING NOW

Wise shoppers have already start
ed looking after their Christmas pur-
chases, so one Wauseon merchant
told us yesterday. And he said it
indicates a happier Christmas than
we have ever had. People who buy
early, even though they only have the
goods laid aside, do so in comfort,
and they also get that which they
want before it has been paved over
by those who wait until later on when
stores are crowded, clerks are tired
and the choicest of Christmas things
already carried away or spoken for,
Christmas stocks are not going to be
any cheaper the day before Christmas
than they are this week. So you
can save nothing that way by wait
ing until the last minute. Clerks
have more time to attend to your
wants now than they will have later
on. So you are sure of being suited.
And then when the tardy ones are
sweating and fuming and working
themselves into a nervous fit over
what to give for Christmas you will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
you can sit back and comfortably es-
cape all of such worry. Sensible
Christmas buyers are those who have
already commenced to do their buy
ing.

A TRIP TO WASHINGTON
Federal Bonus Will Pass This Ses-
sion of Congress

Not all of US avail ourselves of the
chance to visit the capital at Wash
ingtOn, d. c., but we should. 1t has
been the pleasure of one of our es-
teemed young business men of the
town and an eX-soldier who served
overseas, to make this trip, having
Just returned from a two weeks visit
with his brothers who live there. We
shall not mention his name, as he
has requested US not too, but we will
relate some of the things which were
his good fortune to see.
During the past two weeks quite a
number of things that will make his
tory have happened at the capitol.
One of the outstanding features OF
the past week was the burial of the
Unknown Soldier in Arlington
cemetery, and it was the good fortune
of this gentleman we speak of, to at
tend the services. On the day before
the service he went to the Capitol
Building to view the casket and was
forced to line up more than half a
mile from the building before he
gained entrance.
The armament conference was call
ed to meet in Washington and it was
at a Red Cross meeting that he heard
seven diplomats from foreign .coun-
tries give a short address.
1t was his pleasure to go through
the many different buildings and tC
many of the places he wanted tc
go he was given every assistance
possible by Hon. c. j. Thompson
Congressman from this district. Mr.
Thompson is always willing to ex-
tend any courtesy possible to Fultor
County people who have an opportu
nifty to visit there.
Mr.. Thompson informed him thai
the Federal Bonus would be passed
at this session of Congress and Sena
tor Watson told him that it could mo-
be stopped, that it was sure thing
| We are sure the ex-soldiers of Full
ton County will welcome this state
ment. Congressman Thompson ha:
always supported the Bonus and ha!
been a big factor in having it pas:
/ the lower house.
/ He attended a session of the Su
preme Court and several sessions O.
the Senate.
A trip to Mt. Vernon, Washington
old home is a trip that should not b;
overlooked and the Smithsonian In
stitution is a place that will occup!
many hours of time to see.
The Navy Building is always wortl
seeing, but was exceptionally wortl
while as Admiral Beatty was jus
making his inspection at the time h,
went through.
There are a great many other in
teresting features that one can tax,
in, in Washington, but it takes time
One should have unlimited time t.
see and study everything.

COUNCIL MEETING
Bonds To Be Issued In Sum Of
$4,000 - One Member of
Council Resigns

| The Council met in regular session
Monday evening with Mayor Oakley
presiding and all members present.
The 3 mill levy having been defeat
ed at the election it now becomes
necessary for the Council to pass a
resolution to issue Bonds to take care
of existing Indebtedness.
! There are at present debts as fol-
lows:
Peoples State Bank, promisary
notes in the sum of $9500.
$1,665.30 abating the excess of
assessment over the 33 1-3 per cent
of value of property abutting on East
Elm Street improvement. Town must
pay all over the 33 1-3 per cent value.
$2207.33 on sanitary sewer on East
Elm Street, excess of assessment of
80 1-3 per cent of abutting property.
! $1050 to James King, Clerk, salary
from October 1st 1920 to December
1st, 1921.
$246,O1 to Jocelyn Upp, engineer
for preparing plans and specifica-
tions.

/ For assessing committee on East
Chestnut Street $30.00
$597S, per cent and intersection
on East Chestnut Street.
$3157.02, z per cent and inter-
sections on paving of East Elm
Street.
| $19,611.21 Water Works improve
ment completion.
There are about $4,000 worth Of
Water Works Bonds that could not
be sold that must be taken care of
this way.
I In all there is more than $4,000
Indebtedness. The only means that
the Council has of taking care of in
debtedness, according to law is issu-
ing bonds.
The law reads as follows:
: Sec. 1916, General Code of Ohio:
For the purpose of extending the
line of pavement of any Indebtedness
!; which from its limits of taxation the
corporation is unable to pay a ma
turity, or when it appears to the
council for the best interest of the
7 corporation, the council thereof may
issue bonds of the corporation or
borrow money so as to change but
not to increase the Indebtedness in
such amounts, for such length Of
time and at such rate of interest as
the council deems proper, not to ex-
ceed six per cent per annum payable
t annually or semi-annually.
The town would have saved money
by voting 8 mill levy.
Milton Griffin resigned from the
Council and his resignation was ac-
e cepted.
e The street sweeper will be dis
S posed of and the Street Commission
0 er will look after this work.
: In order to save expenses, the
q council is considering turning out the
: two lower boulevard light on Main
t Street.
It Beginning Jan. 1st, 1922, there is
S a new State Law in effect governing
S the borrowing of money by city coun-
It ellis. No money can be borrowed and
u the town will have to be run on what
u money it receives from taxation.

new LAW

During the past week there was
a representative of the prohibition
agents in town who was going over
the county books for the state.
He has cited the officers here to a
new law that is now in effect and is
a late ruling of the Supreme Court.
1t in part is as follows:
Section 10. The inspectors ap-
pointed by said prohibition COM
in addition to any other
duties, by personal visitation or
otherwise, shall make investigations

lar tax, as provided in section 6O71
of the General Code, and report such
names to the commissioner of prohi-
bition, together with the name of the
owner of the real estate and a de-
scription thereof, wherein the unlaw-
full traffic was conducted. Where
upon said commissioner, upon the re-
port and information submitted to
him, shall determine and forthwith
certify to the auditor of state the
names of all persons, firms or cor
porations liable to such assessment,
together with a description of the
real estate upon which such business
is carried on. The state prohibition
commissioner shall keep a record of
all such cases so certified by him to
the auditor of state.

or of state shall cause all of such
names to be entered upon the assess

paid into the county treasury,
Any person who traffics in intoxi.

be entitled to any rebate or refundel
under the liquor tax law, except as

There are not more than four or
five volcano observations in the world,
the most important being those of
Vesuvius and Kilauea (Hawaii.) Pro-
fessional volcanologists are also very
scarce.
