.STORIESO OF AMERICA AND AMERICANS
From Sandusky to Columbus AfoOt in 1S32-What a
British Subject Saw, Heard and Thought About
The Country

A walk from Sandusky, Ohio to
Columbus, in 1882, would certainly
furnish interesting descriptive ma
terial. S. A. Ferrall, a British sub
ject, so found it. After describing
his journey up to this point he says:
''I next entered Crawford County and
crossed the Wyandot prairie to Up
per Sandusky. This was the first
of these extensive meadows | had
seen and l was much pleased with
it's appearance. Attached to the
Wyandot reserve (nine miles by
siXteen) is that of the Delawares
(three miles square"O.
Ferrall reached Little Sandusky
about one o'clock He learned that
a treaty was being made with the
Delawares. He repaireu to the coun-
ell groundn "under seven large elm
trees" and describes the business in
hand, which was the disposal of the
Indian lands. AS he continued his
journey, Ferrall fell in with a young
Oneida Indian named Guedeldk, who
owned sixteen acres of cleared land.
He consumed the income from his
crops in travel, had just returned
from a visit to New York and Phila-
delphia and had seen most of the
large cities of the Union. AS the
two proceeded, they met up with a
negro who was greatly excited. He
had left his family at Cincinnati and
had gone to work on the Ohio canal
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1921-08-25

some twenty miles away. On his
return to his home after a weeks
absence, he found his house empty
and was informed that his wife and
children had been seized and taken
to Canada. The negro was trying
to overtake them in his desperation
and was told by Ferr&ll that the lat
ter had the day before passed two
wagon loads of negroes which were
being transported by the state to
Canada. Ohio then had a law pro-
hibiting people of color outside her
borders settling here.)
Ferrall berated this country for
the names of it's towns and saws:
"Kahama's curse on the town bapti-
zers of America! There are often
i've or six places named alike in the
same state; upper and lower, little
and big, great and small. And in
variably the same names are given
to the towns in every other state.
And / have also frequently heard a
long-legged, sallow-looking back
woodsman talk of having come lately
from Paris or Mecca wnen instead Of
meaning the capital of La Grande
nation, or the city of the holy pro-
phet, he spoke of some town in the
backwoods of Kentucky"
Ferrall, however, seems to have
had a pretty good time in America at
that.

EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
Fulton County Fair-Five Hun
dred Dollars in Premiums
- All Departments Full

The display of school work prom
ises to be the most complete ex-
hibit of its kind in the history of the
Fair. Each school is making an en-
deavor to give a good representation
of the type of work it is doing. Every
patron and pupil will be anxious to
see the work of their own school
compared with that of other schools.
The display will be so arranged that
the work of any school or class may
be readily found.
The Fair Board is offering Five
Hundred Dollars as premiums to be
distributed on the following displays:
non-competitive, competitive school
with school, Competitive class with
class or gr4dc vita grade, and spe-
cial individca. displays. This will
include wCrA irN;n departments from
the primary grades up through the
High School. in order to compete
Tor premium, school must dis
play in at least fifty percent of the
work done in the school and the work
of at least fifty percent of the pupils
must be displayed.
A display will be made the re-
suits of some of the mental and edu-
cational tests that have seeR given
in the schools of the county, These
tests reveal many interesting things
and should be carefully observed by
all

THE LATE
PRIMARY FARCE

The Primary Election through
which the State has just passed en-
phasizes a new burdensome cost of
this expensive luxury, and its utter
failure to express the will of the peo-
pie in the selection of candidates for
office.
From five to twenty percent of the
electors aVailed themselves of the op-
portunity to vote IN the various To-
calities, less than in former years
attended the caucuse sto select dele
gates to the conventions. Yet in
every precinct in the State where re-
gistration is required, the polls were
kept open for that purpose, though
in many of them not a single elec-
tor appeared for registration, and in
whole townships not a single vote
was cast at the primary. The ex-
pense of supporting the system is
borne by the already overburdened
taxpayer. In one town it cost $500
for every vote cast, and in the city
of Columbus, which is perhaps typi-
cal, it cost $500 for every vote, The
results obtained do not warrant this
expenditure.
"A large part ol Lne eApeIlSe EOul4
be avoided if the law were amended
so as to require registration to be
made at the office of the Board of
Elections, on any day for month
prior to the election, One or two
additional clerks could attend to bust
ness even in the most depgely p0pg-
lated cities, and in most it could be
done without any additional help
The taxpayers should demand that
if the primary is to be retained, solHe
less expensive method of conducting
! it should be adopted. When the
! Legislature again convenes it should
take cognizance of this matter and
eliminate this useless expense.

Find BUT $4,000 BU.
Of Pure SEED WHEAT
CertificatiOn Tests, Now Nearing
End, FOreshadOw Shortage
This Fall

Specialists of the Department OF
Farm Crops, the Ohio State Univer-
sity, announce that during the first
two weeks of August they examined
for seed certification samples of
threshed wheat from 1875 of the 20J
fields previously passing field irspec-
tion. Of the 125 samples examined,
18 failed of certifcation.
Six hundred fields were originally
entered for certifcation, but hard
season and variety mixtures caused
! rejection of 400 upon inspection OF
the growing grain, Of the 200
qualifying for examination 0t
threshed grain, the seeend and final
step in certifcation, only 70 remain
now to be passed on, and only 24,20C
bushels of wheat have been certified
in all Of Ohio.

bushles of certified seed Wheat WeuiC
be available for OHIO farmers this

BOYS AND GIRLS
WILL EXHIBIT
AT The FAIR

Boys and girls club exhibits will
be more in evidence at the big Full
ton County Fair, this year than ever
before. About one hundred and
fifty boys and girls will have their
pigs, chickens, calves and fruit on
display.
The Holstein Calf Club consists of
about thirteen boys and girls who
will exhibit their calves this year for
the first time. Every calf is pure
bred Holstein and will be fitted up in
the finest kind of shape by Fair time.
The competition will be very keen
isince Mr.. c. P. Grisier has agreed to
raise One Hundred Dollars to be
given in prizes in addition to the
premiums offered by the Fair Board.
Many of these calves will also be
shown in the open classes.
There will be about thirty five boys
showing their pigs in the club ex-
hibits as well as in the open classes.
We have seen some of these pigs and
will say that some of them are as
fine as will be seen exhibited by re-
gular showmen at any County Fair
There will be more entries among
the poultry club boys and girls this
year than there has ever before at
our Fair. The poultry club exhibits
will be housed in the regular poultry
building and it will be we'll worth the
time of any one to visit that building
and inspect the pens of birds shown
by the boys and girls.
Tho this has been rather a poor
year for fruit there will be large
display of canned fruit and vegetables
i by the girls of the food club in the
County. The food club exhibits will
be housed in the building formerly
used for the poultry club exhibits.
On Friday morning at ten o'clock
there will be a parade of all the boys
and girls club members on the race
track, led by the Boy Scout Band and
followed by the parade of livestock
Every parent in Fulton County
should be on hand to see this display
of live boys and girls, the best crop
that Fulton County can produce.

$40 TAX ON AUTOS
WILL NOT Be A LAW

Owners of motor vehicles in Ohio
who have been bearing their just
proportion of the federal, state and
other taxes and licenses amounting
to $340,000,000 that are collected in
the United States on such vehicles,
can at least draw a breath of relief
now that the proposed additional tax
of $40 on each automobile is not to
be included in the new government
revenue bill.
This announcement followed the
recent conference held at the White
House between President Harding
and members of the Senate and
tnat instead of increasing the bur-
dens of taxation on the people, that
the expenditures of various depart
ments of government operation will
be reduced.
In this decision, motor vehicle own
iers who have been made the target
of tax levying bodies since the auto
mobile became an important factor
in American transportation facilities
may find just cause to congratulate
themselves.
On the other hand they will not
fail to appreciate the efforts of the
American Automobile Association anC
its affiliated state organizations OF
which The Ohio State Automobile
Association is one, in helping tc
bring about the elimination of this
latest additional burden that had been
proposed for the motorists of the
country.
When time is taken to consider
that Ohio motorists are now paying
more than $20,0O0,000 in federal and
istate taxes and licenses and that the
proposed tax would have meant the
payment of more than $6,000,000 ad-
ditional it will at once be seen that
the burden would have been of nc
small proportions.
At the recent meeting of the ex-
i ecutive committee of the American
Automobile Association held in
Washington that body voiced EN-.
phatic opposition to any further
taxation of automobiles and being
right at the seat of government it is
not improbable that this action as
well as other efforts in this connec.
tion must have had their weight in
iimpressing the national lawmakers
Another action taken by the com.
mittee in different direction was
the placing of a ban upon touring
motorists who seek road information
without membership in an A. A. A
club.

CONVENTION OF
37TH DIVISION

The American Legion Councillor
a paper published in the interest OF
the Legion Posts of Toledo, has
come to our desk 1t is a six col
umn, eight page paper, full of news
of interest to the Legionaires. 1t
also carries a good medium of adver-
tisement which will go to make a
success of this paper.
1t states on it's front page of big
convention Of the 37th Division to be
held at Toledo some time in Septem'
Der.
All service men are urgently re.
quested to turn out for the big parade
Monday the 26th to show Toledo anC
the state of Ohio the strength of the
ex-service men.
In view of the deal handed wal
veterans on the National Adjusted
Compensation and of the campaign
for approval Of the state bonus it Is
to the interest of every former sol
dier, sailor and marine to parade
with his buddies and make large
showing. 1t is expected that many
thousands of men not affiliated with
the Legion will fall in line for the
parade.
The 9th Reunion and the Legior
Convention will not be restricted tt
Buckeye vets and Legionaires. There
will be plenty Of entertainment fol
visiting comrades.
On the front page of this paper
appears picture of Stanley B. Hod
gins, the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. B
Hodgins, 2213, Auburn Ave. Mr.
Hodgins was a member of Co. A
33th Inf. and was killed in tn,
Meuse-Argonne drive. The writer
was also a member of the 38th Inf
and was we'll acquainted with him
and well remembers the drive il
which Mr.. Hodgins lost his life.
