1 J Fulton County ! ' it VOL' XXXI WAUSEON, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1913 NO. 35 BUNE, ILK fi Is t 'i v I !( i I i V 'S Lawrence Perry Heads the List of ' Successful Corn Growers in Fulton County Some Impressions of the ' Trip to Washington. Lawrei.ce Perry returned Monday 'from "the trip of his life", a trip that , he will certainly never forget as long as he lives and a trip that he won by his own hard work and enterprize. It "is an honor to be desired, to be known as the person who in any giv en season has by .the combination of .his brain and brawn succeeded in making an acre of ground produce more corn than any other person in the county, and that is the honor whioh Lawrence Perry, has won this year. . v The : conditions were not favorable in Fulton county this past season for the best results in corn growing; Mr. Perry worked just as hard and used just as much ingenuity , to raise 96 bushels, 15 pounds and 40 ounces of corn this year as he did to raise 102 bushels last year. . All honor to. the Doys of the coun. ty who have worked and planned to make the soil' produce more; every one of them deserved the trip wheth er he got it or not and we know that they are the "stuff" of which the best LAWRENCE PERRY ' sort of citizens are made. Lawrence Perry has given us a few of the im pressions made upon him by this trip, but he says there were so many ' things of interest that came to, him on the trip that it would take a week or more to tell them all . -The boys were kept going all the time, says Lawrence, there was so much to see and so many things to do that there was hardly ' time to accomplish all that had been planned. . ' Everything -that could be wished for and many ;tl)ings the boys themselves never .'would have thought of were provided "for! the comfort, - convenience . and pleasure of the boys on the trains both on the outgoing and return trip. Pittsburg, the "Iron City", was the first stop made and here the boys were entertained .by Heinz, of the "57" varieties; a visit to - the pickle plant which covers ' 27 acres of ground; plans had been made by the Heinz company to serve a lunch to the entire party but that was omit ted on account of lack of time. Har risburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, ,was the next top and here the party remained for six hours visiting the beautiful state house and other points of interest in the city. Washington was reached at 6 a. m. . Wednesday and after being escorted to their ho tel the real sight seeing tour began. All of the many government build ings were visited. The boys were ad mitted to "both houses of congress, which were in session at the time and at the White House they were grac- iously - received- by . Mrs. Wilson, President Wilson being ill at the time the boys, were there. Secretary Bry an gave the boys a line address and the visit to the home and tomb of George Washington at .Mt. Vernon was a trip long to De neia in mem. ' ory.- Lawrence states that of all the buildiners in Washington which he visited he was most- impressed by the National Museum. , On the return trip the party stop ped at Philadelphia and the reception accorded the Buckeye Corn princes by this city impressed Mr. Perry as the most cordial of any which they re ceived on the entire triD. In this city Liberty Hall, The Curtis Publishing Company building, home' of the Sat urday Evening Post, and the great Wanamaker store were among the ' points visited and there was also the boat trip to the Navy Yard where a special drill was given for the bene fit of the boys, and a tour of inspec tion of the Battleship Idaho. It was a great trip says Lawrence . T ' 1 ! m . ana one l win never largei.

' v John A. Cron HARDWARE STOVES AUTO SUPPLIES A PLEA FROM A CITIZEN The president of the Board of Trus tees of the Fulton County Soldiers and bailors Memorial and Monumen tal Association has issued a call for the different townships of the county to solicit funds for1 a suitable mem orial to the soldiers and sailors of '61 to '65 to be placed on the court house grounds at Wauseon. Not that we lack patriotism or - appreciation that we have waited so long until Fulton county is one of two of the eighty eight counties in Ohio having no soldiers monument. Because we have neglected this honor that, has been due so many years to the boys in blue, a large number of whom are sleeoinar in the different cemeteries of the county, let us without further de lay pull . together and erect a mag nificent memorial to the soldier dead, second to none in the state of Ohio. Let us not leave the work -of col lecting funds to women and children or by having public entertainments and suppers which require much time and labor and some expense. Let us redeem ourselves ina befitting man ner and purchase a memorial that wi!l be an inspiration and one that we can eaze upon with Dride and the generations following can admire aft er we have passed away.

TO MATCH-Splendid assort Presents 1 T Beard' of County Visitors to the Pro bate Court County Jail, Infirmary and Lockups cf the Various Villages Inspected Conditions Found . Good. We, the Board of County Visitors, have inspected the county jai', the in firmary and the municipal iock-ups as laauired by law and nave found them to meet all requirements. The 'Board has held seven meeting: during the year 1913 as follows: f ecruary 11, at the Infirmary; May di, at the inhrmary; June o, at th; court house; August 14, at the Infirm ary; August 19, at the court house; November 23,-' at the Infirmary, and December 5, at the court house. . A number of necessary improve ments at the Infirmary . have been completed during the year. The in stitution' is now heated properly, the Moline Vacuum system being used. It is lighted by electricity and other improvements have bfeen made. The Board feels very mucii gratified to re port these improvements, but would suggest that a proper sewerage dis posal or cess pool, constructed according- to the plans of theV state board of health, is very much needed. .The county jail has been visited by the Board several times and has a -ways been found neat and clean. Our sheriff and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McQuillin, are faithful in their care of the prisoners lodged with them. Municipal kocs-ups The lock-ups of the county are kept in god condition and have been visited by 'members of the Board. The state conference of Chanties and Corrections held at Akron, Nov. ember 10th to 12th, was attended by Mrs. Octavia Saxton and W. H Mad- dox. They report an interesting and enthusiastic session. We are very sorry indeed to have to report the death of our Infirmary superintendent, rl. is. Smith, who passed away on June 15, 1913. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were very faithful in the performance of their duties as superintendent and matron of the In firmary and the Board feels that their entire work was very commendable. Mr. and Mrs. W. a. JDgnew, the new superintendent and matron, though having had but a few weeks experience have already gained the love and respect of their charges. AlAl ME (J. (JUL;, fres.

Department of Agriculture Restrictions on Im portation of Potatoes Extravagant Claims Exploded Fines Imposed For Misbranding. The Secretary of Agriculture has issued notice that he has determined that there exists in the Dominion of Canada, Newfoundland, Great Brit ain, Ireland and Continental Europe potato diseases new to and not here tofore widely prevalent or distributed within and throughout the United States, and that it may be necessary to forbid the importation into the United States of the common or Irish potato from the countries named in order to prevent the introduction in to the United States of potato dis eases, including powdery scab (Spon gospora subterranea). In accordance with the provisions of section 7 -of the act of August 20, 1912, a public hearing will be held at the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, December 18, 1913. at 10 o'clock a. m., to deter mine whether or not importations of the common or Irish potato from the countries above specified should be forbidden. The order of September 20, 1912, forbidding the importation into the United States of the common or Irish potato on account of the existence of the disease known as potato wart or black scab from Great Britain, Ire land, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Newfoundland, and the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, is not affected by this notice and will remain in full force. There has recently been a consid erable amount of advertising, by the Dress and otherwise, of two beans for which highly extravagant claims are made, and .for the seed of which ex QQ3 pins and fobscoat and vest Folks ,,1111 heard in Concert Friday night, Dec. orbitant prices are being asked. One of these is being advertised under the name of the Shahon pea with the absurd claim that on 3 acres this plant produced -70 tons of hay and 350 bushels of seed. The Shahon pea is nothing more nor less than the plant properly known as the Asparagus bean or Yardlong bean. It is a close relative of the cowpea in fact, by most bot anists considered a mere variety. In experimental tsts with upward of 20 varieties of Asparagus bean tjiis de partment reached tne conclusion that none, of them could possibly compete with the better varieties of cowpeas as a forage crop. The stems, as a rule, are much more slender and vin- mg, and the long pods, which lie on the ground, can not be harvested by machinery. JNone 01 these i!U van ties is as productive, either in herb age or in pods, as the better varieties of cow peas. Fines ranging from $25 to $200 have recently been imposed . upon dealers for misbranding insectides and Funguscides. The misbranding in some cases in the impossibility of the material to do what the label claimed it would and in other cases the lab els were misleading as to the quality and quantity of the material. . - U uncle Sam is certainly doinp1 his best to protect the interests of his farmers and his farms.

THE BM The Annual Event on Wauseon Boya Calendar a Success $104.87 Col lected For Boyg Work and Recre- ation Parks in Spite of Rain. In spite of. the bad weather, last Saturday afternoon which kept many . people from coming to town and which made it difficult for the girls who ' were on the soliciting committee to meet tne .people on the streets, the Ives Boys Brotherhood tags brought .r in $104.8?; half of this amount is to be devoted to the equipment of Tecre- ation, parks for the use of all young people in Wauseon and one chief feat ure which . the boys have in mind is the building of a swimming pool. Twelve pairs of "boys canvassed the nouses in xhe residence districts of the town Saturday morning and exchang ed tags for money amounting in the aggregate to $30.98. Five iairs of girls patroled the business section of town and collected $73.87, making a total of $104.87. The total expenses were $2.95 leaving the net sum of $101.92 in the treasury of the Boya tsrotnernood. The boys re very grateful to those who contributed and desire to express their sincere thanks.
