WORDS BROUGHT OUT
BY WORLD WAR

The War has brought out lot of
words that have been popular for a
few weeks "Nornralcy" has been
coined by the President elect and it
is "the latest" Since it is in only a
few of the dictionaries, it is late
enough in more ways than one. A
malcy relates to 'the co-ordinates Of
the point of contact" Possibly it is
a non-resembling kin to "camoufage. !"
The Investigations of the War have
demonstrated the former ascendancy
of "camoufage," and now that 'nor-
malcy' is in high favor in official
circles at Washington, all will wish
for it a success at least equal to
that of it's less deserving kinsmen
in the family of forceful words.
Normally, according to employ
ers, seems to mean lower wages.
Manufacturers figure that it means
continued high prices, retailers in
terpret it to imply big profits, and
the consumers think it means that
things will be cheaper.
In the language of brass tacks
''normalcy" means the return of
confidence based upon courage. It
has something to do with meeting the
demand for billion dollars worth of
new homes and houses by building
them; and to put another billion dol
lars worth of electric railways, gas
pipes, telephones and light wires,
sewers and other public utility i'm
provements in operation to make
possible decent living in decent es-
adjustments, ''far from the madding
crowd" since living, according to
conditions of "normalcy' is among
civilizations most urgent demands.
In the soft speech of politics in
Washington, where this article is
written, it means Intelligent use of
the cheese knife in slashing appro-
priations as they have never been
slashed before; because "normalcy''
must do lot of subtracting on the
tax bill to prove itself in successful
operation in Federal and State ad-
ministration of the publi's affairs.
Henry Ford says that "men who
were laid off during the shutting
down of industry are taking off silk
shirts and are drifting back to the
farms" Henry occasionally pulls
good one, and if he is right in this
instance, it is another victory fol
"normalcy." We all tip our aqus
glasses to Senator Harding's new
word.

FULTON HOLSTEIN
BREEDERS MEETING

Every owner of Pure Bred and
Grade Helsteins in Fulton County,
will have an opportunity to hear how
Ohio stands among the Holstein
states of the Union, during the
meetings which are scheduled by the
Holstein men for this County, Feb.
18th, according to w. L. Biddle OF
Wauseon, who is looking after the
County meeting which will be held
in the Court House at Wauseon,
Saturday February 10Th, at 10 o'clock
a. m.
The progress made during the past
year by the Holstein breeders OF
Ohio, in gaining recognition of the
merits of their cattle among other
states, and the development of the
business within the State, has proved
to the members of the State Associa-
ton the value of strong organiza-
ton for the furtherance of their in
terests.
The superior blood lines of Ohio
cattle are now being recognized by
other states and breeders everywhere
have come to consider producing
grade cows.
Thirty counties or districts have
HOLSTEIN CLUBS, which serve
their members in an educational way,
besides promoting the sales end of
the busiiess in both public and pri-
vate sales.
According to the census just COM
pleted by the HOLSTEIN FRIE-
SIAN ASSOCIATION of America
Ohio ranks third among the states
in numbers of Pure Breeds, with
thirty thousand head of HOLSTEIN
being exceeded only by New York
and Wisconsin.
Ten Million Dollars is a conserva'
tive valuation of the Pure Bred Hol-
stems in Ohio. There. is no definite
way of estimating the exact number
of grade HOLSTEINS, but it is gen
orally figured that the grades out
number the PURE BREEDS, four tc
one, and. that Pure BREEDS sell fol
four times as much money, which
would make the total valuation Of
grades an additional ten million dol
lars, making a total of twenty mil
lion dollars invested in the Hosteir
industry.

SPENDING THE
TAXPAYERS MONEY

The next time the "pork barrel"
cry reaches your ears, just remind
the critics that in a chart recently
prepared by the Bureau of Stan
dards that it is proved that during
the last nine years, exlusive of war
costs, all of the civil activities of
the Government represent less than
one-third of the total expenditures.
A speaker at an event where Govern
ment expenditures was discussed a
few nights ago, produced a dollar
bill. He cut it almost in the middle,
40 per cent to be exact, and held up
the piece to represent the proportion
of each taxpayers dollar required for
the Army. Navy and for pensions
and care of soldiers. The Legislative,
Executive and Judicial, was repre-
sented bv clipping Is per cent off the
dollar. Public works took eleven per
cent. Rivers, harbors, public build
ing and reclamation projects, and all
the alleged "pork barrel" matters
that represent permanent public i'm
provements do not combine all told,
the amount of any division of the
military machine. The man who cut
the one dollar bill had to pare it
very fine to illustrate the exnenses
of Education, Public Health and Re-
search.

WAUStON HI DEFEATED
MONTPELIER HI SATURDAY EVE

Saturday evening February 18th,
Montpelier Hi basket ball team came
here to repeat the drubbing they
gave US at Mon .pelier. This game
was scheduled for Friday night, but
on account of the extra number of
the lecture course was postponed un-
I'll Saturday night.
AS a preliminary the Junior girls
team. defeated the Freshmen girls
team 5 to 2. These girls games may
be a good thing for the girls but
they are awful to look at. So slow
and unexciting. We usually go to a
basket ball game expecting to get
excited or thrown out.
The big game started about 8:15
The first half was just about the
fastest ever played on the local floor

n every conceivable way.
: The period of passing from a
"custom factory" with orders un-
certain to plant taking large con-
tracts for quantity production with
orders certain and profitable dis
posal of the product assured has
been passed and from this time on
the pay roll of the Company will
steadily increase until the limits Of
the present plant have been reached.
An investigation of the Company
and its management will disclose the
fact that there are no high salaried
non productive officials of the
"swivel chair" variety in the con-
Germ, they are all workers and some
of them are doing two or three mems
work; this assures the stockholders
fair share of the real profits of the
plants as well as a more or less ar
tistic stock certificate.
1t is a Wauseon Industry; belongs
to the town as a whole, not some
part of it, and it remains for the
people of Wauseon to get back of it
and push it forward by hearty CO.
operation and loyal support It's
ours, let's own it and boost for it
and help it, rather than disown it
and "knoek" it and try to kill it. If
some of us are so constituted that
we MUST "kick" or knock let us
do one of two things: study to make
our "kicks" effective in putting the
ball over the goal and our "knocks"
constructive rather than destructive;
or let US find something outside of
our own home town to "kick" and
knock"
Let's wake up to the fact that it's
just as possible for US to pull to-
gether as is to pull apart and that
this last sort of pulling" doesn't
get any of US any where; just fur
nishes amusement for our neighbors.
Let's get busy on construction and
reconstruction here in Wauseon. Of
course we have differences of opinion,
but let's be American enough to
listen to the other fellows opinion
and then match him with our opinion
| and leave the decision to the best
Judgment of the majority of our fell
| low citizens.
! It's time to get together and work
together and remember that "There
is so nHch that is good in the worst
of US and so much that is bad in the
best of us that it hardly becomes any
of us to find fault with the rest of
u.s."
This we believe applies not only to
the Automotive Body Company but as
well to all other Wauseon institutions,
interests and questions. Anyway,
/ let's try out working for Wauseon
awhile rather than for the North Side.
South Side, faction or self.

HEARING OF PETITION
TO CHANGE COURSE
OF Big ditch

The Board of County Commissioners
held hearing on the change IN
course of the Big Ditch, (Cinton
Ditch No. 1860, petitioned fos by the
Council of the Village of Wauaeon,
in order to locate the new reservoir
which is to be placed on land pur-
chased by the Village, for that pur-
pose, adjacent to the ditch and to be
fed by water taken from 1t. The
petition and subsequent proceedings
of the Board of County Commission
ars was read by County Engineer R.
|. Bernath who also gave a report of
survey made in accordance with
the petition and also supplementary
survey of a project that seemed to
the engineers making the survey to
accomplish the desired resu't with
'ess cost, less probability of damage
to adjacent lands and to be more
easily worked out.
Seven orm ore owners Of lands that
might be benefited or damaged by
the proposed alteration of the cor Sc
of the ditch were present ana through
their attorney D. B. Johnson pre-
sented objections, and asket to have
the petition dismissed.
Attorney J. C. Paxson appeared
for the Village of Wauseo7 and de-
Tended the petition against the OBJ
iections which were basel Tor the
most part upon technicalities Of the
law. One or two of the property
owners present expressed their OBJ
jections in person. The Commits

he is still out with injuries. Other
than this we had the regular line
up. This combination certainly
played real basket ball SO that at the
end of the half they were way out
in front 20 to 8.
The second half was somewhat
slower. If Wauseon had made is of
the shots they tried the score would
have been considerably more. AS it
was, the game ended 33 to II.
The last half was rough, many
personal fouls being called If the
referee had called them as close as
he might have many more would have
been called. But on the whole it was
game well worth the time and
money to see.

If. this proposal is submitted to and
approved by the electors, it will pro-
tect the farms and homes of Ohio
from threatened confistication; it will
make it possible for the Legislature
to provide a new taxing system; 1t
will afford opportunity TO find other
sources of revenue; and it will bring
the dawn of brighter day to the
tax burdened home dwellers of the

On Wednesday February 9th, Gov
ernor Davis took definite steps to-
ward study of this plan with a view
of putting it into effect by appointing
a committee of nine; three represent
ing the farmers, three representing
the business men and three represent
ing the general public, to study the
suggestions.
In commenting on this suggested
| plan by the Farmers Organizations
of Ohio, Governor Davis said "The
plan suggested by the farm represen.
tatives is the most decided step for.
ward which has been taken in many
gears in the direction of tax system

commonwealth. The seriousness q

from time to time by different ele-

the suggestions, however, have beer

any degree of permanency, nor tc

ments. l feel that in the suggestions
of the farm organizations the basis
of solution, meeting the requirements
of both permaneney and general ac-
cord, is to be found.
