B. R. R. AND W. R C.
Installation of Officers of G. A. R. and
Associated Organizations A Ctm
r2e Honored Fine Supper and a
Good Time.
Last Saturday was a red letter day
on the calendar of Losure Post, the
occasion was the joint installation of
the officers of the Post and Belief
Corps. The exercises began at 2
o'clock and it was not until well along
toward 10 p. m. that Comrade Boyer
decreed lights out and the post room
was deserted. The "Boys in Blue"
were out iir good force and the "Dear
Old Girls" including "The Girl I Left
rwmna me" oi many oi the aforesaid
"boys'were also present. It was a
, congenial assemblage but they went
on the plan of "work before play" and
. the serious business of installation
was first disposed of.- Comrade Geo.
; Newcomer was the installing officer
for the Post and Mrs. Hanna'h Stevens
for the Belief Corps. With due form
ality and military precision the var
ious officers of the Post were first to
be installed as follows: I. E. Bayes,
Commander; Levi Hoy, S. V.; A. S.
- Van Nortwick, J. V.; S. M. Spring,
, Q. M.; , H. A. Haughton, Chaplain;
H. Hunter, surgeon; Al Hogeboom, O.
'? D.j S. Jj. Boyer, O G.; P. H. Bayes,
Adjutant; J. Hoffman, S. M.; Festus
. Funk, Q. M. S. Installing officer G,
D. Newcomer did himself credit in the
manner in which he conducted the in-
stallation. . ' , -
The commander, I. E. Bayes (being
elected to succeed himself) made a
y few brief remarks that weresyery im
pressive; thanking the Post members
. for the confidence placed in him by
j his re-election as commander for an
other year. The past year he did not
miss a meeting darmg his term of of
v fice; this bespeaks well for the inter
est ha has in the welfare of his com
rades and in the upbuilding of the or-
der. This concluded the Post install
.. nation. .' -. . ''
The audience was then .entertained
- by a solo rendered by Mrs. Hoffman
" with her highly: cultured voice and
personality, which brought great ap
plause from the audience and it con
. tinned until her' return to the piano,
when she rendered that lovely song
and beautiful words, "Just Before the
Battle, Mother", that All the old vets
love so welL This song was sung by
Mrs. Hoffman in ouch a beautiful
. .strain and impressive manner that it
, ; brought moisture to the cheeks of our
y comrades in arms, bringing back to
, memory perhaps of some of their
bunkmates. . . Their true friends and
companions that they once loved so
well that. have now passed over to the
great beyond, there-awaiting their
. comrades in arms to follow. Next on
- the program was "the installing of the
' officers of the Ladies Relief Corps.
. The names of officers-elected to be in
stalled are the following: Frankie
Funk, president; Katie Wright, S. V.;
Jiebecca Croninger, J. V.; Mrs. Sher
wood, treasurer; Rilla Borton, Chap
lain; Emma1 Spring, conductor; Mrs.
Eugenia Palmer, assistant; Mrs. Metz
ler, guard, and Mrs. Hoffman, assist-
nt; patriotic insructor and press re-
- porter, Mrs. Marks, with chosen as
sistants, were duly installed into their
respective stations by Mrs. Stevens,
.-. installing officer.. They accomplished
, their work in & masterful way, believ
ing in the old maxim, That which is
N worth doing is worth doing well. The
installing of these officers was grace
fully executed by the team using the
flag drill in their work. It was very
entertaining to all the audience. There
is so much I would like to write up
pertaining to the grand work done in
the Post Tby the Ladies Relief Corps,
No. 20, Wauseon, Ohio, that if I should
undertake it I would fail on account
of not being qualified to do them jus
tice and praise they deserve in the
- grand and good work they are doing
as an organization. Success go with
you is the sincere wish of the Grand
Army of Losure Post, No. 35, Wau
seon, O. Last but not least of our
fellowship orders the associate mem
ber of the G. A. K. were installed
into office; officers elected for 1914:
- 3. C. Rorick, Commander, and as the
names of the officers of this order
elected for the year were given to the
public in the Tribune of the 2nd I
will omit them in this article. The
-.. officers were duly installed by G. D.
Newcomer and I think that they made
a little better showing in their wo?k
on account of the previous practice.
Abe Hogeboom did splendidly in his
part of the work in presenting a cer
tain group of the associate members
to the installing officer; he hesitated
a moment, then proclaimed to the of
ficer, "here they are, the whole 'ca
boodle' of them" and then vamoosed.
I don't just know the meaning of the
term used but Abe said that was
what he done and for further informa
tion you must call on Abe. After the
installation of associate officers .was
concluded, the commander-elect, J. C.
Rorick, made a few remarks that ere
v entertaining and appropriate. The
The Peninsular
If
25Pir..C
Commander, Mr. Rorick, is chuck full
of patriotism and ays that he has
tried his best to enthuse it into his
cabinet, but thus far he has failed to
do .so, but thinks that they all have
the loyalism alright and that they
promise a better and more regular at
tendance in the meetings in the fut
ure. In behalf of the G. A. R. comrades
I want to say this to the associate
members, that we know you to be a
jolly good, set of boys and that we
appreciate your membership and1 cer
tainly will give you the welcome hand
at' any time convenient for -you to
meet with us. This concluded installa
tion work and the audience adjourned
until, 7 p. m. when they all returned
to the hall for supper which the Grand
Army, served to honored guests, L. R.
C. and Associate Orders. When the
supper was ready to serve and the
guests were all seated around the
tables a surprise was carried into ef
fect and in fact it was a surprise for
nearly all of the audience, was in lg
norance of its coming and of its na
tore. Our . much beloved and highly
esteemed comrade, H. A. Haughton,
who has served so devotedly as chap
lain for the past eleven successive
years And about to celebrate his 82nd
birthday, we, his comrades of Losure
Post, arranged and planned to do him
honor and to help him enjoy his birth
day,: procured a cane for him. F. E.
Kenyon, an associate of our order, in
behalf of the Post, made the presenta
tion in an eloquent and pleasing way
(which is his habit of always doing)
that was very touching and appro
priate to Mr. Haughton as well as to
all present. Mr. Haughton responded
with many thanks after which supper
was Served and I think from the happy
smiles upon the faces that they all
enjoyed themselves on this occasion.
While the supper was being served,
Rev. Kenvon read two poems, written
Land composed by his father, who was
a soldier in tne uvu war, tnat were
fine productions, full of patriotism and
loyalty.
We want to thank all for their pres
ence on this occasion and especially
the six ladies that aided us so kindly
Lin helping , to wait on table. .-

LETTER FROM S. A. MILLER
Mt. Carmel Hospital, Pittsburg, Kan-
' January 5, 1914,
Editors Tribune: ' V
We left our beautiful little city of
Wauseon on December 20th, coming
over the L. S. & M. S. to Chicago and
via Rock Island & Pacific to Kansas
Citv. thence over Frisco line to Col-
umbuB,. Kansas, where we arrived De
cember 22, a. - m. , Mrs. Miller was
very much fatigued by the journey.
We remained with her friends in Col
umbus until December 29th when we
came here to this hospital preparatory
to. have Dr. . Smith, an eminent sur-
eon, operate on her tne next day at
:30 a. m.. which was done but was
not ; as successful as we hoped it
might be but will arrest the progress
of the disease and give her a longer
lease of' life by reason of the opera
tion. We want, through the columns
of your paper, to tnanK tne many
friends at home for their many words
of encouragement'1 and expressions of
sympathy and especially tne ttenei
f.oroB for the contribution of flowers.
Mrs. Miller is recovering nicely from
the effect ' of the operation and we
hope--she-will be able ta return : to
Columbus, Kan.; in a few days where;
she will be with her friends and as
soon as she is strong enough we hope
to go on to Florida. - :
' By the kindness oi a. i : ungnam
we received a nice box of Kum quota,
from; our own trees in ' Windermere,-
Fla. -.
Weather has been cloudy and
stormV most all the time since we
arrived in "Sunny Kansas". A larger
acreage of wheat was sown .this fall
than ever before in the state and is
looking fine. ' -r" :

''' - SELFHOOD
Selfhood is a greedy monster,
Thinks of no one but himself,
Every impulse, evjsry heart throb,
Echoes only, sen, sen, sen.
Every ; thought he has is centered
On the one of eettinsr pelf.
Cares not -how, or where he gets it, N
So he clutches hold the pell.
On the helpless he will trample,'
Is with hob-nailed coarseness shod,
Grinds "beneath his heel of iron," '
Callow youth and laws of God.
' ' '" :
Has no thought of, what is justice,
If in reach his tiger claws,
Seizes as his rightful plunder, ,
Greed defying human laws. -' -
Conscience, long ignored or .strayed,
- Now lies dormant in his soul
And that soul is dwarfed and shriv
' elled,
By that, grasping' greed's control.
. . '- ' '
0, that Self is soul consuming,
Of God's image no part.
Just the gross, inhuman, brutal, .
Without conscience, soul or iieart.

WEALTH IN APPLES LIES
UNDEVELOPED IN OHIO
The West has long held the palm
for the production of handsome ap
ples. People thougnt it was due to.
the climate and the soil. This has
been disproved. It was due more to
the men behind the spray nozzle and
the sorting table.
What the men of the Northwest can
do the men of Ohio can do as well.
In fact the general result will be bet
ter. The apples of the- West and
Northwest lack the spice and vigor
of those grown in Ohio. With prop
er care Ohio apples look as well and
taste better than those of the far
western states. Good ancles are
largely a matter of personality. - Two
men took charge or an old orchard
in Cuyahoga county last winter and
gave it a proper overhauling. It was
thoroughly and properly sprayed. It
had not borne a crop in 15 years.
This fall they gathered 20,000 bu
shels of apples. Many similar in
stances can be cited. i
The quality of Ohio , apples may be
seen and tested at the Great Ohio
Apple Show, to be held in Central
Armory, Cleveland, January 20-23.
Every person who buys an admis
sion ticket will be given an Ohio ap
ple to eat. The snow will be truly
great and tne iruit will be truly hne.
Plan to go.
OLIVER McLAIN SURPRISED
Mr. Oliver McLain has contributed
the following account of a surprise
perpetrated on him on Saturday, Jan
uary 10th:
"On the morning of January 10th,
Mrs. McLain seemed anxious to get
me from home so I went to town and
at noon we had some company; after
dinner they still urged me to go to
town and I did so. In the evening
all was quiet until about eight o'clock
some neighbors came in and later oth
ers came with filled baskets, thinking
of my 70th birthday which was the
next day, January 11th. Those pres
ent were: Mr. R. C. Skeels, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Butler, Mrs. J. H. Williams,
her daughter and son, . Mrs H. Lee,
Mrs. Bert Whipple and children, Mrs.
Clara Rock and son, Mrs. Spurgeon,
Mrs. Brinkman, Mrs. Evers, of. Ken.
dallville, Ind., Mrs. Chas. Evers, of
Pioneer, O., and Miss Ethel Hartman.
of Winameg. A fine lunch was served
at 10:30 and the evening was spent
in singing and listening to music from
the organ- at a late hour the house
was called to order and Mrs. Rev.
Williams, in behalf of the Sunday
school, presented me with a fine bible,
also manv nost cards which I enioved
very much and hope they will all come
again. .

II VALUABLE SERIES
Of Practical Interest to Farmers-Co-operative
Farm Products Mark
eting How It Is Done Elsewhere
and May Be Done in America. .
The demand of the times is for a
marketing system that will dispense
with the numerous middle men of the
city through whose hands must go' the
farm products before they reach the
consumer, and whose unnecessary
charges not only reduce the price re
ceived by the producer but increase
price paid by the consumer.
- In an effort to solve this important
problem the United States govern
ment sent a commission to Europe
during the past summer for the pur
pose of studying Co-operative Market
ing methods in those countries where
it had been in operation for a consid
erable period and where it had proved
successful. This commission consist
ed of Dr. T. N. Carver, writer, rural
expert and director of the Bureau of
Rural V Organization in the Agricul
tural Department at Washington;
Bradford Knapp, son of the eminent
southern ' agriculturist, . Dr. S. A.
Knapp, now deceased, who is in charge
of the rural demonstration work of
the department in the south, and Dr.
Charles McCarthy, whom Sir Horace
Plunkett has termed the "agricultur
al statesman of America", ' At the. re
quest of members of the- commission
Mr. Mathew S. Dudgeon accompanied
it and assisted in the "important in
vestigations which it made in Ireland,
Denmark, Germany and other -European
countries.
What they found in Europe Mr.
Dudgeon has put into a series of ar
ticles for American newspapers. - He
not only -has told what he and the
members of the- commission saw in the
countries they visited, but, v in the
form of interviews with members of
the commission, he has shown how
the methods in vogue in Europe may
be applied to this country. ',
. In this way Mr. Dudgeon has an
swered the thousand of inquiries re
garding the formation of co-operative
maaketing organizations.
This series; of articles has' been .se
cured for The Tribune and will be
printed on the . inside pages of this
paper. There is no topic which is of
more vital importance to the farmers
of the country at the present time
and these articles will afford our
readers an opportunity to become
thoroughly posted on the subject. In
some sections of the country farmers
have already organized for co-operative
marketing and have profited
thereby. The time is not far distant
when the co-onerative system will be
come general and the sooner that
tihie arrives the better it will be for
the producers of food products.. The
policy of the Tribune is not to see
how cheaply we can issue the paper
but how valuable we can make it to
the subscribers and for this reason
we are elad to have secured this ser
ies of articles which will begin in the
near future.
