THE SIEGE OF
FORT MElCS-1813

''The British have Detroit. Cen
eral Hull has surrendered" was
the ominous message carried by
frontiersmen mounted on plung-
ing, foam-covered horses to the
isolated Ohio settlements and log
cabins during the summer of 1912.
Quickly second message, even
more terrifying, passed from man
to mantle story of the "Massa-
ere of the Raisin River" near
Monroe, Michigan.
The United States was again at
war with England. The Indians
had danced the war dance. From
the fort at Detroit, invasion of
Ohio might come at any moment,
bringing with it savage, merciless
warfare.
Again Ohio was to be a battle
ground. Again the whole North
west was in danger.
Action, quick and decisive, was
the Watchword Fort Meigs, COM
manded by General William Hen
ry Harrison, was built opposite
Maumee, Ohio, to halt the British

be strong, sturdy and durable best
for hard wear. The fineness and soft
ness of percale sheets makes them a
better choice when appearance counts
and cost is not so important.
Sheets should always be compared
by type of yard (combed for percales,
carded for others), thread count,
weight, amount of sizing, breaking
strength, length and width. Good la
bells will give these facts and will also
tell whether the sheet is a first, sec
ond, or run of the mill.
Some sizing is necessary to keep
from breaking in the loom, and makes
the fabric more attractive and does no
harm. However, large amounts of siz-
ing are frequently used to fill up the
space in poorly woven material. This
washes out and leave the fabric sleazy
and thin. pure finish" on a label
means less than 2eo sizing.
Width of hens varies from less than
2 inches to 4 inches, the higher quality
often wider Good sheets must be long
enough and wide enough to allow a
generous tuck-in all around. Look for
the words torn length" on labels.
This means that the sheeting has been
torn from the bolt before hemming
and will be straight with the weave.
"Cut length" may be straight but may
just as well be bias. If it is not
straight, the sheet will be lopsided
after laundering.
1t is up to the woman who buys to
decide which kind of sheet best fits
her needs and pocketbook.
Colored sheets and sheets with col
ored borders have been on the market
for some time but recently a sheet
has been put on the market called
Bed of Roses" 1t is an all-over de-
sign of roses in either pink, blue or
yellow on white background and
makes most attractive bed The
sheets can be used for upper and
lower, or for upper sheet alone.

Baby Talk

A little girl should be taught to
brush her own hair daily and to push
her cuticle back with towel each
time she washes her hands. These
daily habits make for beauty in the
older girl.
Bangs are being sponsored for little
girls as well as grown-ups and if the
child's face is thin the bangs are often
curved in a crescent shape on the
forehead, giving width at the sides by
exposing the temples. For a child
with a round full face, ringlets may
be placed high above the forehead
with the hair swept back completely
from the brow.

FAMOUS OHIO
BATTLEFIELDS
900 Americans Defeat 5000
British and Indiuns

Out of an early spring night in
April, 5000 English troops and
Indians appeared. Fort Meigs and
its garrison of 800 was sur
rounded. Four batteries were
quickly set up on the west side of
the Maumee. A day and night
cannonade started. One of the
diversions of the garrison was to
collect shot which had been heated
red hot and fire them back at the
British. Fully 1000 were returned
to their senders.
But relief was on the way.
General Green Clay with 1900
Kentuckians was coming swiftly
up the Maumee. A scout, piercing
the lines of the besieging Indians,
reached General Harrison:
Capture and spike those can
non with part of your men and
have the rest fight their way into
the fort" General Clay was told.
The cannon were captured and
spiked. The undisciplined troops
began to pursue the fleeing In
dians, who kept just out of range.
Suddenly a war whoop sounded
shrilly. The pursuing soldiers
were in the very center of care

Women in Industry

Here is suggestion for women
which can be turned to good account
Many professional vieWers-with- alarm
are shouting and bewailing about con-
selling. Many things are being said
by professional gawdsakers that are
not true. Many things are being
twisted out of their proper relations
to other things.
Consumer credit is tremendous
thing. 1t is the credit with which fam
lies buy autos, refrigerators, vacuum
cleaners, clothes and almost every
thing, including vacation trips. 1t in
cludes installment sales, small loans
credit unions and many other things
The government has it's eye on this
field. But the real consumer almost
never gets heard. Why is there not
an opportunity for the real consumers
to do some studying and make them
selves heard?
Women's auxiliaries could do such
job and do it well. Few subjects
have brought forth more superficial
nonsense, few are more important in
the modern home life, where living
standards are so largely built around
consumer credit. Manifestly consumer
credit must be on a fair basis, both
for consumer and business. Too tight
restrictions either way can smash the
whole structure. And it can be
smashed by too much greed, as well
Why shouldn't organized real con.
sumner women get busy with this jot
and find out where the truth lies.
In 80 of the 46 states in which de-
fense councils have been organized
approximately 200 women are serving
as members. Besides the consumer in.
terest field, services of women are
used widely in health, welfare and edu
cation, special women's activities
groups and labor problems.
A total of 81 women serve in l.
states on consumer interest commit
tees, with duties involving formulation
of standards for and use of consumer
goods, price and rent control, ane

ELIMINATE VOTERS
NAMES FROM LISTS

The annual revision of Hamilton
polls lists brought eliminations of
1,677 names. This number of former
Hamilton electors will not be eligible
to vote, until registration, because
they failed to cast ballots in the last
two calendar years.
The names were as follows: First
Ward, AL; Second Ward, 254; Third
Ward, 226; Fourth Ward, 317; Fifth
Ward, 205; Sixth Ward, 253.
Fred Stitsinger, clerk of the Butler
County Board of Elections, was un-
able to announce the number of Ham
iltonians still eligible to vote, since
new registrations are being accepted
throughout the year.

On a hunting trip into Nor

our privilege to see a showboat
in the Muskingum river at

territory, especially the older
ones, perhaps this incident does
not stir the imagination, but to
a fellow from the prairie states,
it was quite a treat to see some
thing that we have often read,
heard about and seen pictured
but even the show boats of
the good old days are about at
the end of their tether we are
told. Chugging up the river
near McConnelsville were several
paddle wheel barges, pushing
huge flat boats with oil tankers
ahead of them. We understand
from dwellers along the river
that river traffic has quadrupled
the past year.

Afraid he would lose him the
hunter started running to head
him off and received a part of
the shotgun pellets in his own
back.
