MAY TAKE HOSPITAL.
Gaffney Offer to Baptist May Be Ac-
cepted.

Gaffney Offer to Baptist May Be Ac-
cepted.
The offer of the Gaffney hospital,
valued at more than $4,000, and the
gift from the people of Gaffney of $75,-
600, was discussed in detail at the final
pre- convention meeting of the Bap-
tist general board which met Tuesday
morning, and the matter was referred
to the general convention without rec
ommendation, says the Columbia Rec
ord of Tuesday.
The offer was to give to the board
of trustees of the South Carolina Bap-
tist hospital the hospital at Gaffney
and $4,000 with which to build
nurses home and improve the hospital
building in general. 1t is understood
that the executive committee of the
board recommended to the general
board that it accept the offer, but it
was found expedient to refer the mat
ter of acceptance to the South Caro-
lima Baptist convention, which will
meet next week in Rock Hill.
The session Tuesday morning had a
full attendance of the Baptist board
and the routine business was dispatch
ed rapidly and with harmony, accord
ing to DR.. c. L. Burts, secretary Of the
board.

TURKS ARE WILLING.
Ismet Will Be Glad to Have Friendly
Relations With America.

Turkey will be glad to make a gen.
eral treaty with the United States and
will be happy to begin negotiations at
any time, Ismet Pasha informed the
Associated Press Tuesday night.
The representative of the Kemalist
government has not yet begun any
treaty pourparlers with Ambassador
Child, but said he stood ready to in
augurate an exchange Of views at the
first available moment. Ismet showed
lively interest in the reports that a
treaty Of amity and commerce would

We have heard that Americans and
others object to our courts, as founded

Reverting to the treaty, Ismet de-

PHONE SERVICE Is BAD
Hello Girls in France Too Busy Pow
derinn Noses.


Wrong numbers, long minutes, OF
waiting for central" to answer, cut
offs" and bad connections-in word,
very bad telephone service in general
are causing Parisians to turn their
wrath against the "Allo" girls.
France has undoubtedly the poorest
telephone service in all of Europe
says TOeuvre, Paris newspaper. The
slowness of our long distance commu-
nications is proverbial. In all Of France
there are about 275,OOO telephone sta
tions, less than one-half the number
one finds in the city of New York
alone-a figure almost derisive for a
country so important commercially
Americans arriving in Paris have few
words of praise for the French tele-
phonists. For the most part they are
insolent and extremely slow. They
seem to be busy powdering their little
noses or rouging their lips, for very
often one waits all of five minutes for
"J'ecoute?" which is the French girls
way Of saying Number, please?"
To receive two wrong numbers is an
ordinary circumstance, and as many
cut offs, which are even more annoy
ing; for no matter how one pleads the
telephonist will not re-establish the
broken off connection. She simply
closes her key and leaves one hanging
on the line. In the end it is really
much quicker to walk and most Paris
ians do il.
While Germany is busy laying line
of long distance underground cables,
which will have a strategic commercial
Importance, France realizes that she
has not a single cable of great distance.
Outside of public telephone stations in
small hamlets, the telephone is almost
unknown in the outlying country dis
tricts. The mayor and public officials
are often the only ones who have ever
made use of a telephone in small
towns. The cost is prohibtive for all
but the comfortably rich. To install a
telephone costs nearly one hundred
apparatus, which adds another twenty
five or more to the amount. One may
have an old apparatus, which would
serve as we'll and cost much less, but
one is obliged to purchase a new and
usually expensive outfit from one of
the numerous companies which are
working together with the telephone
concern If he shows any signs of not
wishing to cooperate he is politely
told that there is no available free
number for the moment, or he is kept
waiting an eternity.
Then, once installed, the telephone
is a luxury, for the subscription price
is not a small item-a matter Of sew
enty dollars a year and long distance
calls at high rate.
"Our telephone service has need of
many reforms" continues rOeuvre.
Besides a competent and efficient
management, we must procure new and
modern machinery and, above all, tele-
phonists who are attentive and capa-

DITCH LAW HELD
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The new ditch law that was enact
ed by the legislature nearly two years
ago has been held unconstitutional by
the Court of Appeals in several coun-
ties.
In this county the County Com
mi5sioners have held up all ditch
work that has been planned, waiting
for a decision, so that they may know
und-r what law they are to operate.
The new law being enacted and put
int force repealed the old law and
TIL County Commissioners will not
allow any ditch work to proceed until
the. know just what law they are to
oper-te under.
4here are a good many bitches
pending before the Board at the pre-
SEM time, some of them have been
SD. Jeyed and planned. Some of them
are ready to be sold, but until they
kno@ where they are at, the Com
miasloners' are prone to act.
1ne new law carries to much bur-
den on the taxpayers who must have
bitches on their farms, and we be-
lieve more fairer law could be en-
act.d. This law was enacted under
a Democratic administration and is
some more of the wilful waste they
have been charged with.
The County Commissioners or
County Surveyor cannot be blamed
foI the law, they can only abide by
the laws that are enacted, and we be-
heve it is a good thing if this new
diteh law would be repealed.

BASKET BALL

The Wauseon High School Basket
Bal team journeyed to Montpelier
last Friday where they defeated that
team for a second time this season
The game was an up hill battle all
the way and the local boys had trouble
in hitting the basket but in spite of
this fact they defeated their oppon-
ents 32-17.
I he basket ball fans really expect
ed hard fought battle as the Mont
pel!er team played hard game here
several weeks ago and kept the local
team guessing, but when the second
half was finished, the local boys had
nearly doubled their score.
Defiance Tournament
The Basket Ball Tournament will
be held at Defiance, March 10-11. The
Wauseon High School Basket Ball
team will enter this tournament and
we are sure they will give a good ac-
cornt of themselves.
There are over 35 teams entered in
this tournament and some of the best
teams in Northwestern Ohio will be
entered. Plan on going.

THE sun DOWN
Of YEARS

Mrs. Mary Domitio is one of the
older residents of this county who has
seen the town grow from a small
place with its mud streets to the
beautiful little city that it now is.
Mrs. Domitio is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dolf, Sr., de-
ceased. She was born in Germany
and came to this country when a small
girl. They landed at New York City
and went from there to Cincinnati,
o., where they made their home for
many years.
1t was while a young girl in this
city that she attended a big celebra-
tion given for President Lincoln and
she can remember the big parade,
she stood for hours waiting for the
President to pass. When his carriage
came near, it halted for a few minutes
and she was privileged to shake his
hand and received a cordial greeting
from him. 1t was only few days
after this that the immortal Lincoln
was shot. She can remember the
time when the word was received of
his assination.
Her father was a staunch Republi-
can and like her father she still
stands for the good old G. o. P.
1t was in 1866 that the Dolf family
moved to Wauseon where Mr.. Dolf
went into the tailor business.
Mrs. Domito spent her girlhood in
Wauseon and after the Civil War she
married Colonel Smith, as he was
known to the older residents of Full
ton County. She probably is better
known around Wauseon than any
other person.
She is a fine christian woman and.
is very active
Colonel Smith served three terms
as Clerk of Courts and was one of the
founders of The Fulton County Tri-
bune nearly 40 years ago.
Mrs Domito probably has the dis
tinciotn of being the only lady living
who shook the hand of Lincoln. She
says she is proud of it and it is a
great comfort in her older days to
think of these things that have pass
ed so many years ago,

BREAD HANDLING IN
UNHEALTHY MANNER

The attention 70 the county Board
of Health should be attracted to the
manner in which much bread sold in
this county is handled and put stop
to the present unhealthy way. Delta,
and likely every other town in the
ounty, is visited every morning by
large distributing bread wagons, de-
livering very much bread that is un-
wrapped. These wagons stop in front
of a grocery store and in most in
stances open up the back door of their
delivery wagons and leave them open
until the delivery is completed in the
grocery store. With the wind blowing
the doors open, the bread that people
eat is exposed to every sort of flying
impurity and dust and dirt of the
street. In the home the housewife
handles the bread with clean hands
and clean apron and abhors a speck OF
dust. - Delta Atlas.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Gas Question

The question discussed by the City
Councilmen, Monday evening was the
gas situation. The Council at Napo-
leon spent S2100 on a survey of the
gas plant and after war of over a
year with the Gas Co., they will have
to pay $2.15 per thousand for the
next two years. Wauseon is now pay
ing $2.10 and they didn't pay one cent
survey. The sliding scale is in
effect here and whenever coal goes
down gas rates should be lowered, and
it is up to the Council to see that they
are lowered.
The question of granting C. D.
Hause and Son the right to place a
gas pump on Main street in front of
the Huber barber shop will be taken
under consideration at the next meet
ing. Council refused others to place
pump on Main street between Dimke's
corner and the Court House, why
should they allow one now after all
others were refused.
Clean Up r. r. Grounds
The Council discussed the cleaning
up of the Railroad Grounds across
from Fink and Haumesser's corner.
The rubbish, old chairs and barrels
are to be removed and benches will
be placed there instead. This is a
loafing place for the old Civil War
Veterans during the summer and
should be fixed up to accommodate
them and look respectful.

Metal Works was given permission

Street Commissioner
The Council, at the request of the
Mayor took straw vote on the
Street Commissioner, the vote stood
4 to 2 for S. B. Overmeyer and the
Mayor then appointed him Street
Commissioner, the Council confirm
ing the appointment. His duties will
begin April 1st, 1922 and end Janu-
ary 1st, 1928.
Water Works
Permission was asked by the Water
Works Board to pay H. L. Merrill
500 per month for reading the
meters and collecting water rent. He
is now receiving $75. The Council
after discussion, decided not to allow
raise but to investigate the cutting
down of salaries instead of raising
them. They think by cutting some o.
the salaries now being paid, that tht
water rent can be reduced.
Donation to Hospital
( The Council made a motion to do
J nate S100 to the h. sDital for cha riff
able purposes.
Just recently, the Hospital tool

DESTRUCTABLE fire

Fire nearly destroyed the J. E.
Merrill house on East Chestnut Street
last Friday night.
Mr.. John johnson who lives in the
house, was away during the day, and
returned late Friday evening. He
built fire in the furnace and went to
the T. and 1. Depot to meet Mrs.
johnson who was coming in on a late
car. While he was at the depot, the
neighbors discovered the fire in the
basement of the house and immediate
ly turned in the alarm.
The basement was filled with dry
shingles and was making big headway
for the main part of the building
when the Fire Company arrived, in
a few minutes a stream of water was
directed on the blaze and within an
hour it was held in control.
The closet in which Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson had most of their clothing
was directly in the path of the blaze
and practically everything was de-
stroyed.
The damage to the house was $1675
and the household goods have not as
yet been adjusted,
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson were expect
ing to move in a few weeks to
Leipsie, Ohio, where he had secured a
position.

LIVING TO Be 100

In spite of the fact that some peo-
pie say life is not worth living they
are always anxious to know how
those who reach 100 manage to do it.
AS it is, no two recipes for long life
agree. Some of these giddy old things
chew tobacco and drink bottle of
booze after every meal, while others
live on starch and boiling water.
Apparently it doesn't matter bit
what you do as long as you persevere.
The only thing is that you have to try
a thing for a hundred years or so to
see whether it suits your constitution.
The latest method of reaching 100 is
that of Mrs. Anna Grump, who died
recently in an eastern state at the age
OF 104. She was married. but she left
her husband on her wedding day, and
never saw him again. So now you
know-but somehow it is thought
that this method will not become
popular among many of our girls.
