JOHN GOLDEN

The March issue of the American
Magazine carries a cut of Mr.. John
Golden and story of his life. Mr.
Golden spent his boyhood days in
Wauseon. He was born in New York
City and came to Wauseon with his
parents when a small boy. In quot
ing from the American it says:
"John Golden is one of the most
successful theatrical producers in
America. During the past few years
in association with Winchell Smith
he has put on some most famous
plays, some were record breakers.
AS a boy, he gave shows in the
barn at Wauseon. AS a young man
he was an actor, and wrote sketches
and plays. He has written more
than a thousand songs for the
stage, some were tremendous hits
such as Poor Butterfly" and Good
by Girls Pm Through" He has not
only been successful in the theatrical
world but in business way also.
At the age of twenty-eight he was
vice-president and general manager
of a large Chemical Company, and
earning $4,000 year. He quit this
position to give his full time to the
theatre.
He was born in New York City
forty-seven years ago. He is pro-
badly well known to many Wauseon
residents.

But after few years of residence in
that unknown country they returned
to Fulton County where they have
since resided, settling first in Frank
lin Township, later buying farm in
Dover township and finally coming to
Wauseon which has been their home
for more than a quarter of a cen
tury.
For the four years following Janu-
ary 1, 1898, Mrs. Shaffer served as
matron of the Fulton County Jail,
that being the period when her hus-
band was Sheriff.
To the happy union were born
three children, the eldest, Albert

FREIGHT RATES

We were going over the cost of
lumber and building materials with a
Nu.Iseon man the other day, just for
an interesting talk. He knew what
he was talking about, and that is
what made it Interesting. His pencil
vas moving rapidly as he set down
the elements that enter into the cost
c one article of building material.
The retailers profit was less than 20
re- cent and 20 per cent is not con-
s dered more than a reasonable mar
gin for doing business. Any business
man must make that much of a mar
gin if he intends to be able to stay in
the business. The column showed
that the jobber, or manufacturer got
less than ten per cent, which is GER
tainly small enough. But the freight
on a shipment to this point was close
to 40 per cent. The freight rate was
the only consideration out of proper
tion in the whole column. And as long
as this wrong proposition exists the
country is not going to prosper as il
should.

The SOLDIER BONUS

In the opinion of great many So
called wise people the bonus for eX-
service men is deemed a matter OF
charity and these people when dis
cussIng the question demand to know
why the exservice man should have
charity voted out to him in preference
to anyone else. But such an opinion
is wrong, and we trust no citizen OF
this county looks on the bonus in such
light.
To give an ex-soldier who fought in
the world-war a bonus for the part he
played is no more a matter of charity
than it would be to pay any man fol-
the services he performed after being
engaged to perform them. But the
latter would be an ordinary transac-
ton, the kind that goes on every day
The service rendered by the soldier
is extraordinary; it is one wherein the
soldiers life is directly at stake and
he undertakes this risk for a mere
pittance There could not be COM
mensurate pay for service of this kind
in the ordinary business sense. There
is a heroism and a bravery conneeLed
with the engagement to render the
service that the soldier gives that
should receive any reasonable bonus
that can be given and there is not an
icta of charity connected with it.
L. is due the ex-service man t. have

their all and they have returned
home, thousands of them, to find
themselves without work and without
funds Tbo1y do NOT 11,cot obo ri4v opI
neither do they want the government
to impose a burden upon it's taxpay-
ing citizens in making bonus pos
sible. But they believe there is some
way of rewarding them as they
should be rewarded without hard
ship on any one, and they are right.

OLDEST ATTORNEY
IN fulton COUNTY
PASSES AWAY
NESTOR OF full TON COUNTY BAR.

On Wednesday morning at about
300 a. M, Mr.. Henry H. Ham ended
his earthly career in this world and
passed on.
He was nearly seventy-seven years
of age and had practiced law in this
county nearly fifty-two years.
He was born in Seeleyville, Pa,
Aug. 25, 1845. He attended school as
FAR as he could go and after he was
eighteen ears of age he taught school
He followed this profession until he
was twenty-four and during the sum-
mer months he studied law. He was
admitted to the bar at Homesale, Pa,
in 1869. He then came to Bryan
Ohio, that same year and worked in
mill while looking for a location.
In 1870 he located in Wauseon; his
first office was in the old Eager
House, from there he moved to the
rooms over the Lyon and Co. Store,
now the Gehring Rubin Co., and
from there to an old frame build
ing near the Blair Hotel.
He with his brother, T. F. Ham,
practiced law in Fulton County near
ly fifty-two years, under the firm
name of Ham and Ham. The un-
broken comradship between them ex-
listed from the time they began school
as boys. When the Civil War broke
out they enlisted and served with the
Construction Corps. They studied
law together, were admitted to the
bar together and located togethe :"
The death of the brother breaks a
close and remarkable relationship of
more than 70 years.
A few years ago the Bar of this
county gave banquet at the Hotel
Blair to celebrate the fiftieth anniver-
sary of this remarkable partnership.

POULTRY FACTS

1t Is getting to the time when peo-
pie are nXIng up their incubators and
getting them ready for the spring
hatch. 1t is common knowledge that
ch~ks which are stunted or get poor
start very seldom make profitable
bnds in the flock. 1t would therefore
seem important at this time to get a
few fundamental facts we'll in mind,
to be observed throughout the season.
Incubation
Incubators should be thoroughly
wasned out so that they are free from
oGyrs, set up, and started so that
t-.Lperature is uniform before any
esgs are placed in them for Matching.
eggs should not be held longer than
tn days before being placed in the in
Gator and should be kept at a tenn
=, .ature of between forty and seventy
fahrenheit.
directions of the incubator COM
paly in regard to temperature should
be followed after the eggs are in the
in uDator, but should not range out
side one hundred to one hundred and
fVe degrees at any one time.
Feeding Chicks
First forty-eight hours feed nothing
whatever.
Forty-eight hours to one week

80 pounds finely cracked corn.
40 pounds finely cracked wheat.
10 pounds rolled or pinched oats.
Mash

Second week to eight weeks -

so pounds finely cracked corn.
40 pounds cracked wheat.

~ pounds bran.
1O pounds middlings.
10 pounds corn meal.
10 pounds sifted ground oats.

Eight wekes to maturity -
Scratch
200 pounds cracked corn.
100 pounds wheat or oats.
Mash
200 pounds bran.
100 pounds middlings.
1OJ pounds cornmeal.
100 pounds ground oats.
rs pounds meat scrap.
5 pounds bone meal
Milk at all times.
Do not use galvanized containers
for milk as they are liable to cause
zinc poisoning.
BrOOding
The stove brooder has proven its
superiority over the hen as a means
of brooding large number of chicks
with a minimum of labor, cost, and
mortality. The success of a brooder
stove depends to a large extent upon
the kind of house in which it is To-
Gated. The house should be large
enough to permit good ventilation,
and to allow the chicks room to get
away from the brooder stove and into
cool air.
The success of all poultrymen de-
pends upon raising strong, vigorous
pullets. This can best be accomplish
ed by moving the chicks each year TO
fresh ground where there is an
abundance of green grass, bugs and
shade. This cannot be done unless
the brooder house is portable. Ex-
perienced poultrymen realize that in
testinal parasites and diseases can be
kept out of the flock at less expense
by moving the house than by doctor
ing the sick birds. The house should
be placed to face the south, if possi-
BILE.

tions of the Ohio Colony Brooder
House may obtain the same by writ

bandry, Ohio State University, Col

BASKET BALL
Wauseon Drubs Maumee % to 8

The game between Maumee High
and Wauseon High last Saturday
night started off like a real game, but
not enough baskets were made by
Maumee in the last half to cause any
alarm or excitement. So the game
dwindled down to be only mildly in
seresting. Wauseon's victory over
st. Johns on Wednesday, and Maui
mee's game of the previous night,
seemed to tell on the strength of each
team, for neither extended itself to
the class of ball it is capable of play
ing when rested.
Socie, jumping center, easily got
the tip-off at the first toss and as
easily kept getting it through the
game, Wauseon scored first, and
from the field. Maumee then re-
taliated with one in the same manner
1t was while these baskets were being
made that the visitors looked their
best and the only time there was any
real thrill. The score at the half, II
to 6, indicated Wauseon's supremacy.
The. second half was listless and
slow, the visitors being almost wholly
on the defense.
During the game, R. Geer made 2
baskets and shot fouls out of IL
chances, in his usual clean-cut manner.
Socie made baskets; L. Geer, l; and
Robbie, 2. There were no baskets
made by our husky and most worthy
guard, Mohr, but he's there all the
time, frustrating the opponents at
tempts to make points thru the
basket he guards. His work speaks
for itself.
In the second half Maumee made
only l basket, raising their score 9
points. Maumee had an off-night at
the basket, making very few shots
either from the foul line or field.
Wauseon likewise, was somewhat
"jinxed." Final score, Maumee s,
Waaseon 26.
As a. preliminary to the Varsity
game the Senior and Freshman
teams gave a humorous, but hard
fought game. Score, 1st half: Semi
ors, 10; Fresh, 2. Final score:
Seniors, 16; Fresh, Z.
Wauseon High goes to Montpelier
this Friday night. A hard game is
expected and it will hustle our seam
to return victorious.
From Montpelier
"Socie, who plays center for Wau-
seon, is a remarkably clever player
and the local lads found it practically
impossible to stop him. In fact he
required so much attention that Mont
pelier,s team work was all shot to
pieces and chances for scoring held to
q minimum" The Leader, Mont
pelier, Ohio.
