Occasionally in hunting out the chronology from the old files of The Sun we find something that fits we'll in this column. For example in Aug ust, 1898, we find this:
 "A Coconino county rancher has posted the following notice on a cot tonwood tree near his place: "My wife Sarah has left my ranch when dident Doc a thing Too her and want it Distinkly understoode that any man as takes her in and Keers for her on my account will get hisself pumped so full of led that some tenderfoot will locate Hin for a Minerle Clame. A word to he wise is sufcinte and owt to wurk ,n fools."
 Here IS another, from the issue of September IF, 1898:
 "Hi Jolly. the Greek who brought the can.els toArizona, says that in 1856 the U. government sent Ad- miral Porter t Asia Minor to buy camels for use n the desert. He se- cured 80 andHi Jolly came to take care of them The government used them in California, Arizona and Ne vada until 1S4, but owing to the cac- tus and gavel their feet could not stand it. Besides, they frightened teams and broke up a circus in Los Angeles. After eight years the gov ernment sold the remainder at public auction. They were bought by a Frenchman and portion of them were sold to the British for use in Australia. The others were to be used in packing between Globe and the Silver King mine. They proved failure and were turned loose on the desert. They are now nearly extinct, though for few years they bred rapidly. Hi Jolly says that not long ago the Indians found one on the gulf below Yuma. They killed it and ate it like beef"
 The New York Sun tells of one of the Arizona Rough Riders in New York:
 He had tasted cocktails in dozen places along Park Row, and was in a cheering condition when he bumped against a big policeman near the bridge. It was about nine o'clock in the morning. The policeman knew the man was rough rider, and apologized for being in his path.
 "Yes better get-out-the-way" shouted the soldier. "I can do as--I- damn-pl-hic-please in this we're town. Dyer hear?"
 q hear" said the cop; "you're all right"

and Mrs. Scott helped her husband
to clear and cultivate the farm. Mr..
Scott working at his trade as a

lilled with toll and the privations
were many.
Later on they purchased farm in
York Township but after a COM
paratively short stay on this farm
they moved to Wauseon where they
made their permanent home after

STORIESOF AMERICA AND AMERICANS
A Husking Bee with Plenty of Red Ears, Near Cncin
nati-A Typical Pioneer Wedding in the OHIO
Country.

Practically everything was home
made from the raw material. Not
mill, store or shop would be with
in 100 miles. Then men dressed
in shoepacks, moccasins, leath-
er breeches, leggins and linsey hunt
ing shirts also all home made.
Arriving at the brides home, the
ceremony took place before dinner.
The feast consisted of beef, pork,
fowl and perhaps venison and bear
meat roasted and boiled, with cab
bage, potatoes and other vegetables.
rne taole would be of large slabs
of rough timber, hewed out with a
broad AK, supported by sticks for
legs set in auger holes. Dishes were
of pewter and wooden bowls and
trenchers. Spoons also were OF pew
ter and the knives were of all kinds
and description. Nothing is said
I of forks.
| Dancing began after dinner and
lasted TILL next morning or until all
the guests were practically exhaust
Il ed. The figures of the dance were
three and four handed reels or
square setts and jigs.
/ About nine or ten o'clock a depu-
tation of ladies stole off the bride
and put her to bed. Generally
they had to ascend a ladder, but
I this was so concealed as to attract
as little attention as possible. The
loft floor was made of .clapboards
lying loose without nails. Later ]
SPECIAL deputation of young men
quietly took charge of the groom
land placed him snugly beside his
bride.
Late in the night some of the
party would suggest the new couple
must stand in need of refreshments
and the family bottle and huge
feast, with the dinner menu, fully
repeated, would be sent up and tNe
couple compelled to at least taste OF
every article offered.
The feasting and dancing al
many weddings actually lasted fo'
several days and the guests would
be so worn from loss of sleep that
an equal length of time would be
taken up to rest and recuperate fol
their daily labors. After this, the
construction of a cabin for the new
couple\ was begun and carried
through by "house raising" Com
Ipleting the outfit with crude home
made furniture, was followed by q
''house-warming," another season
of dancing and festivities.
y Thus did hundreds and thousands
of the sturdy sons and daughters OF
America start upon the seriuoS
journey of life in the wilderness
of romance, wars, early privation:
and hardships. Yet withal they
were happy days of devotion an(
honor.

COSTLY LIQUOR
Friday Is Big Day in Judge A. M.
Barber's Court $4,000 and Costs
is Popular Expression in the Court
Room

Last Thursday information in re-
gard to the erstwhile patrons of
Powers and Getter in the clandes-
tine whiskey business came into the
hands of Prosecuting Attorney Can
field and Thursday afternoon Sheriff
Ford and his deputies armed with
warrants went over to Lyons and
placed ten alleged purchasers of
whiskey under arrest, all ten appear
ed in Probate Court on Friday and
the Legal Mill' began grinding
early in the morning and continued
during the day.
Don Callahan, Roy Address, Van
Emmons, Fred Hoeffer, Carroll
Rochte, Cornelius Keller, Russell
Ri.lenoi,r, VIM. CARRIER, and Ed
Hall, all appeared in court and pied
Intoxicating liquor and Friday after
noon Ora Emmerson also appeared
in court and pied not guilty to the
same charge.
The case of Don Callahan was the
first called to trial. Harold Powers
testified that on or about June 4th
he delivered to Callahan a pint of
whiskey at Lyons for which he re-
ceived $500, that Callahan had pre-
viously ordered the whiskey and
that he carried it from his home in
the northeast part of Royalton town
ship. James Powers, father of the
boy was called to the witness stand
and corroborated the testimony of
the boy and also testified that he had
sold Callahan a quart of whfskey for
which Callahan paid him $3.50 at
Powers home.
Callahan had no evidence to pre-
sent to refuse the testimony of Har-
i rold and his father, but protested his
innocence.
Judge Barber found him guilty as
! charged and sentenced him to fine
of $3.50 and costs and remanded him
to the County Jail until the fine and
costs were paid. The case of Cal
lahan was typical of all the other
cases with the exception of the case
! of Roy Address which was dismissed
! VIM CARRIER and Ed Hall which were
dismissed at the request of the Pro-
scouting Attorney.
Fred Hoetfer, Van Emmons, Car
rol Rochte, Cornelius Keller, Russell
! .hlQenOur ana OrTd EfnlnerSOn WHERE
each found guilty of receiving in
toxicating liquor and each fined $3.50
and costs. The aggregate of fine
collected by the Court for this one
days grist was $1O5O and this in ad-
! dition to the $500 fine imposed upon
Getter and $500 on James Powers
| for transporting and selling intoxi-
eating liquor, earlier in the week
making grand total of $4,000 in
fines from the boot Logging" opera
tions in Royalton township.
The officers are not enjoying the
raids but are merely performing
their duties in enforcing the law and
have no other alternative than to
make the arrests, collect the evidence
prosecute the cases and impose the
prescribed penalties.
They are anxious that the illicit
traffic in intoxicating liquors in Full
ton County shall cease entirely for
it will relieve them of unpleasant and
rather strenuous work

During the past eight years she
has made her home with her daught-
er, Mrs. Eliza Maloney in Tedrow.
In spite of her advanced age she en-
joyed good health up to June goth,
little more than two weeks ago,
when she accidently fell and injured
her hip, she fingered until the night
of July %, when her sufferings ended
and she passed on to meet the loved
ones gone before in The Fathers
House, having attained the age of
nearly SO years.
In her early womanhood she con-
fessed I4ef Christian faith and unit
ed with the New School Lutheran
Church at Wooster, Ohio. During
all the years of her subsequent lite
she has manifested her Christian
faith by her christian deeds and
words.
The following statement made by
a member of her family is beautiful
tribute to her memory, "In her de-
| clining years this faithful and low
/ ing grandmother found the children
and grandchildren willingly and low
ingly ministering to her; prompted
| by the desire, which filled their
hearts, to repay the kindness and
care she had given them from child
hood, and to shower love upon her
to the end. She held all her kin
dred very dear and it Is true that no
| tribute ever written to mother
love" would be an exaggeration of
mother Scott's devotion to her chill
dren From childhood to manhood
and womanhood, those who cal led
her mother looked to her as their
! best friend and wisest counsellor.
Her usefulness began in her young
years and no words are adequate to
tell of the good she has done for
humanity"
Those who knew her feel sincerely
that in the passing of Mrs. Eliza
beth Scott, Wauseon loses a pioneer
citizen in the broadest sense of that
term and woman whose good deeds
were as the sands of the sea.
Funeral services were held at the
home of her daughter, MIS-. Eliza
Maloney in Tedrow, Tuesday after
noon July 5th and interment made in
Wauseon cemetery.
Card of Thanks
We desire to express our sincere
thanks for the many kindnesses ani
help rendered to us during the lin IS
and at the death of our mother, by
the friends and neighbors in DOT

N. Y. POSTAL SITUATION

The Joint Commission on Postal
Facilities created by the last Con-
g1ess was completely ignored by MIR.
Burleson Who refused to cooperate
with it in any way. Postmaster
General HAYS, on tho other band. is
gong to make unlimited use of their
services in contributing to the gen
eral efficiency of the postal ser
vice. II found this commission in
existence but not funetioning much
Hays. 81 look upon the postal com
mittees of the two Houses of Con-
gress as the board of directors of a
large corporation, furnishing the
money and passing on large matters
OF policy. 1 have piled all the work
possible upon them.
To mark the beginning of a new
activity on the part of the Joint
Commission, Mr.. Hays accompanied
its members to New York the other
day, where a detailed examination
of everything pertaining to the New
York office was made. Few people
realize how intimate an interest the
entire country has in the efficient
working of that post office. Most
of the foreign mail leaves and enters
the port of New York, which makes
of the New York office the "neck OF
the BOTTLE" as Mr.. Hays describes
it. Since 1912 its business has in
ereasedl 239 per cent, during which
period there has been little if any
increase in the facilities for handlinn
the mail. 1t is said that New York
handles more mail than the entire
Dominion of Canada.
The New York postal situation
mas become so acute that additional
accommodations for the work have
become imperative. 1t was to de-
term:ne at first hand what those adj
ditions should be the Joint Commits

and walked from Sandusky to Col

to- intervening Indian reservations,

q rlptoIn of an old fashioned husk-
L., uee: Il attended 'corn-husklng
llOlic' in the neignDorhood of Gin
cnnAti. The corn was heaped up
inco a sort of hillock close to the
canary, on which the young
'OAIoans' and lassies seated them
selves IN pairs; while the old wives
ana old farmers were posted around,
dong little put talking much. Now
the Jaws of a corn hdsking frolic or
dam that for each red ear that a
yo tn hnds he is entitled to extract
a kiss IRON his partner. There were
two or three young Irishmen in the
group and l could see the rogues
kissing half a dozen times on the
same ear. Each of them laid a red
e@i close by HIM and Liter every two
or three ears he'd husk, up he'd hold
the redoubtable red ear to the as
tonlshel eyes of the giggling lass
Who sat beside him and most unre-
lentingly infiict the penalty. The
& ..de wives marVelled much at the
Unprecedented number of red ears
which that lot of corn contained. By
and by they thought it "a kind OF
c Sous Glat enc Irlsnmen should
find so many of them. At length
tl4s meat was discovered AMIDST
roars of laughter. But the mis-
chief of it was the young Americans
took the hint and the poor Buckeyes
(gnls) got nothing ike fair play
for the remainder of the evening
All agreed Jnat there was more
hilarity than had been known at any
corn husking frolic since the Decla-
raLlon."
A Typical Pioneer Wedding
A wedding in the early days OF
pioneer. life was the greatest socia
event of the crude times of the
sturdy Americans who opened the
PAIN of progress and blazed the way
to civilization.
A description of one of these typ.
ical ceremonies as told by Joseph
Doddridge, himself one of these
pioneers, is 1ull of human interest
and value.
On the morning of the great event
his attendants met the groom at the
CABIN of his father. They, with al
otner guests proceeded to the bride
home, generally on horseback, anC
all must arrive at the scene of tn,
ceremony by noon.
The ladies dressed in linsey skirt.

gowns, coarse shoes, stockings hand

STATE FAIR
TRACK meet

Last year the two Track and
Field Meets, held in conjunction with
the State Fair, were of such sue
cessful nature that the management
has come forward with a very gen.
erous offer for a similar event this
year. They have set aside 5000 as
reserve fund and are adding to it
all the entry fee money as it is paid
in. This money will be returned
pro-rata to out-of-town contestant
thereby assisting materially in de
fraying their expenses. W. d.
Griffith, who is managing the At
lantic Carnival estimates that en-
trants will receive at least one-half
of their expenses.
Such a Ian should prove of great
assistance to many excellent athletes
who would otherwise not enter be-
cause of the expense.
Gold, silver and bronze medals
ribbons, six large loving cups, anC
two gold watches are offered il
prizes. There will be two meets
one amateur, open to any amateur
IN the State, and the other open tt
all High School men. Both meet.

Lime AND PHOSPHATE
MAKE POOR
PASTURES GOOD ONES

Old, worn out, weedy, quilted pas
cures, the kind on which At is an eff
fort to raise an umbrella, are being
ejuvenated throughout southern and
.astern Ohio by a very simple treat
nent, says Earl E. Barnes, soils
specialist Of the Ohio State Univer-
ty. For instance, he says, Mr.. Vim
cent Kesler in Hooking County had
steep hill field that, during 1919
,ad scarcely any vegetation on it
rat was of value tor pasture.
During the spring of 1920, Mr..
esler applied to this field limestone
\ rate varying from tons on top
the hill to l ton at it's base; and
cid phosphate at the rate of 800
ounds on the upper end of the field
o 100 pounds at the lower side. On
particularly steep bank in the field
some manure was applied.
The field was then sowed to clover
md timothy. This summer there
clover all over the field and a good
stand of timothy on the manured
ank. This is the first time in years
that the pasture has amounted to
anything worth while.
Fertility is by-product of good
