This appointment is to be made by the county auditor who by virtue of his office is the county sealer and the custodian of the standard weights and measures. Through "some laxity in the department of the Dairy and Food Commissioner who has had the validity of the law requiring the sale of food supplies by weight ques tioned and who has not yet found out just where "he was at" on this point, legally, the enforcement of this ap pointment has not gone forward very briskly. Auditors and commission ers have hesitated to bring addition al expense on their counties until ab solutely necessary. Fulton county is one of the last five counties in the state to make this appointment. Auditor Ackerman nas announced as his appointee, Mr. Al Boger, of Ly ons; the - probable expense to the county for the first year will be $1, 000.00. It will be the duty of the deputy sealer to test and standard ize all scales, weights and measures used in buying and selling in the county; this will include farm scales as well as those used by merchants. The purpose is to protect both buy er and seller and the enforcement of the law will be to advantage of both. A tentative canvass of the mer chants of one of the counties of the state by a prospective appointee dis closed the fact that 95 pe cent of the merchants were in ' favor of the en forcement of the law. "BASKET BALL . The Excelsiors, of Toledo, cancell ed their date with the Indians at the eleventh hour. Our booking agent proceeded ' to find a team and he found one after many delays. West Unity High arrived about 9:30 on Dec. 31st. The game was a fast one but we had them out classed and outweighed, the final score being 48 to 4, in favor of the Indians. Mr. George Davies . and the principal of West Unity High refereed. Tuesday, January 6th, the Indians journeyed to Archbold and were de feated, but we do not consider s this a disgrace because for one thing we were defeated fair, and square. An other, the Archbold 'Germans . have been together about four years; the Wauseon Indians have not been to gether before this year; the majority of the Indians were the High team of 1912. ' ' Vernier starred for Archbold and Harrison, starred .for Wauseon, by making as many baskets while guarding Fox as Fox did himself. The final score was 55 to 20 in favor of the ' Archbold Germans.

An Appeal That It's Heroes Be Remembered, From the W. R. C. of Fayette. The story of the , war from '61 to '65 has already been told and retold for young Americans, and yet there is room tor another re-telling. The events of "61 to '65 will always form a conspicuous part of American his tory. .There are those who say let by gones be by gones, let us forget all about the' war. Men who talk thus are not those whose life blood watered the gory field, not those who went promptlyto the front when danger threatened, ready to sacrifice life or limb upon the altar of pat riotism. We know that the war is over, the strife has ceased, the vic tory has been won, but the story of the great conflict will never diminish in interest. Let us keep alive the memories of gallant deeds of '61 to '65. Let . us encourage the rising generation to- honor the memory of the heroes now fast passing away. It will tend to promote patriotism and national pride. , ; Abraham Lincoln, said, I believe this government cannot endure per manently half slave arid half' free. Slavery believed in by the South and abhorred by the North was setting North and South at enmity. The United States of , America was be coming sectional. In 1860 slavery tinged everything. . It was in the midst of this growing discord that the presidental election of 1860 came, and was what we call the climax, and Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, was elected president. . ' The most determined of the South ern states was South Carolina and in December, I860, passed an ordinance of secession. Led n by ' the bold step of South Carolina the other cot ton, states followed, and in January and February, 1861, similar ordin ances of secession were passed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Geor gia, Louisiana and Texas and set up a government under the name of the Confederate States of America, with slavery and .state sovereignty added, anrl'slcwtori .Tpffprsnn Davis as presi dent. They decided upon a seal and flag and prepared to fleiena tneir ac tion by war if need be. They all de clared the North would not fight. President Lincoln's inaugural ad dress was full of the hope of peace but firm and unfaltering in its pur pose to maintain the Union, what ever happened. . But Kina woras ana brotherly appeals were of no avail. The dealers of the South were deter mined and, on the twelfth of April, 1861. the Confederate batteries in Charleston Harbor opened fire upon Fort Sumter. The South had struck the first blow and that settled the question in. the North. There was but one response. The Union shall be preserved. President Lincoln de clared the Southern states in rebellion and called for volunteers to put it down. The struggle for life or death was at hand. The president on the fifteenth of April called for seventy five thousand tnea.-nd Isxat times. many responded, o The Confederate government called for thirty-five thousand volunteers and as in the North four times as many offered their services. M?.ny young men left their comfortable homes, their stud ies, their occupations, their pleasures and their gains and with sword at side or gun at shoulder to march South or North to fight for a princi ple dear alike to each. Almost four years to a day the fight for life for union for supremacy went fiercely on. The seventy-five thousand volunteers first called for in the North grew to an army of three million men before the end came. The thirty-five thous and volunteers of the South grew to EGESSftRT a million and a half. When the end came the cost of the fearful struggle had been six hundred thousand North ern and Southern lives and, six thous and millions of dollars spent. This it had cost to destroy the doctrine of the sovereign power of the state as opposed to the supremacy of the na tion, to do away forever with slavery on American soil, and to make of the United States a real nation. This it had cost to secure perpetual peace and a lasting union to all Americans forever- , . Heart sickening as these state ments are it was not all that entered into the history of that war of all wars. Brother against brother, father against son, the parting of husbands from wives and children, many of them never to return. Suf fering from cold and hunger and need of comfortable shelter and the confinement and ill treatment in Southern prisons, away from home and friends in a hostile land and health, impaired of thoe who re turned to their homes. And this is only a part of that which could be told. What a contrast now after fifty years has passed as we sit comfort ably by our warm firesides with no thought, of loved ones enduring the hardships of war. The turmoil has ceased long ago and we have no need of fear, or unrest. But we will not forget those who responded to their country's call and put an end to sec tionalism forever. We will not now value lightly all that which trans pired from '61 to '65 without some recognition of its real worth to us. - When it becomes generall known what is to be accomplished the peo ple of Fulton county will respond nobly to the call for funds to erect a suitable memorial next May on the county court house ground at Wau seon. Give a liberal offering and an encouraging word and the work will soon be finished. Let us give more dollars for beauty and grandeur and build better than we know. The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. v REVIVAL CONTINUES At the Church of the Brethren Thirteen Conversions Up to Mon day Night. - Th revival at the Church of the Brethren conducted by Eld. J. Edwin Jarboe, of Red Cloud, Nebraska, was expected to close last Sunday night but on account of the increased interest for the salvation of souls that are so near the turning point of their lives, the. meetings were ro- onced and will, nndoiihtpd'v rnntimip over next Sunday. Elder Jarboe cer tainly has done: and is doing a great work in this vicinity. Thirteen souls have shown their willingness to ac cept Christ as their Saviour and live the better life. 1 Twelve were received into the church by christian baptism Sunday and one making the good confession Sunday evening. The spirit of God . is certainly in our midst, that we know, by what ourlMaining of Evolution The author eyes have-een; our, ears have" heard f g C. , ijchmucker.

Elder Jarboe a very forcible and impressive speaker, active in the work for the master, loved and respected by his fellow-workers and all who know him, heartily welcomed into the homes of the community and leaves lasting impression wherever he goes. The community was sorry to have Mrs. Jarboe and son leave them before the revival closed. They left last Sunday night for Chicago where they will again engage in their stud ies. Mrs. Jarboe, who had charge of the gong service, was also a great help to her husband and to the vicin ity but as she could not stay with us any longer , we are glad that Elder Jarboe can stay with us and continue the good work that is in progress.

Marker, to Issue Monthly Bulle tinTo Contain Many Interesting Features. ' Beginning the new year the State Highway Department will publish a monthly bulletin which will be sent to good roads enthusiasts throughout the state without charge. The bulle- tin is to contain many f interesting features, its object being to get into closer touch with rural conditions, and to stimulate interest in the good roads movement. . The bulletin will be the most complete of its kind ever issued m this state, will be "printed in attractive form, and will be eager ly watched for by good roads advo cates. One of the interesting features of the January number will be an ex planation of the dragging act, which becomes effective in January, 1914. The provisions of the act require each board of township trustees to appoint one of their members as dragging : uperintendent whose duty is to divide the township into drag ging districts, of no more than six miles of. road to each district, and to supervise the dragging of all the earth and gravel roads in such dis tricts. Contracts are required to be let for such work by February 15th of each year. ' The new law requires trus- tees to set apart funds for dragging purposes under- penalty of line for failure to do so. , The January bulletin will contain a copy of the road dragging act and a simple design of a durable roaa dr&i'. A free copy of this bulletin will be mailed to any one interested who sends a post card request to James R. Marker, State Highway Commissioner, Columbus, Ohio. Those who are concerned with the improvement of our roads in Fulton county will watch with interest the efforts of the township trustees to faithfully administer the provisions of the dragging act.

Myers, of Washington township. Henry county. and Mr. Harry M. Pontious, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Israel Pontious, or Liiberty township, Henry county.
