Each year we celebrate the deeds and
acts of brave men, our statesman, our
presidents, our generals. But there

As a fighter he was splendid thru, and

exception of Washington and Greene,
prior to bis lniamous oeeo, no Ameri
can general had done more; efficient
service for the cause of our independ
ence than Benedict Arnold." But let
us consider what kind of a man he
was. tie was naugmy uu uiouicih.
He was extravagant, fond of gay life
and lived far beyond his means. He
had a very quick temper, and was
uilv off ended, even when offense was
least intended. He was of an envious
nature and this had much to do with
his treason. Arnold lacked moral
courage to a uegrcts uiab n ntw
all of his other grand and noble quali
ties. It was this utter lack of moral
courage that caused his downfall.
Arnold joined the army when it was
before Boston, and fought in many
minor engagements in the first of the
war. He had a terrible march through
the dense Maine woods and made the
attack on Quebec, then tit most
strongly fortified city m America.
Amidst fierce fire from the British
guns, he scaled the walls and entered
the city. Once within, victory would
have been assured, but-Arnold was
wounded; his men, without a leader,
fell into confusion, and the attack
failed. Let us look at Arnold at Sara
toga", that famous battle which both
English and Americans realized would
be the turning point of the war. The
British army under Burgoyne continu
ed to advance, and seemed irresistible,
and the campaign was considered most
over. . Disappointments . as to rein
forcements, loss of stores, and amuni
tion had greatly discouraged the colo
nists and as a fitting climax, Congress
had shamfully put Gates in command
and he had demoted Arnold. In the
battle of Saratoga Gates was far m
rear of his army, planning a retreat,
in case of defeat. However, all of his
generals were on the firing line, ex
cept Arnold, who remained in camp.
Like a caged lion, he paced back and
forth before 'his tent, watching the
fierce struggle before him. Very
keenly he grasped the situation; saw
Gates far in the rear: saw the one
weak point of the British, the place
where the attack could be driven with
great force and the battle won; saw
that the colonists were fighting as
bravely as possibe without a leader.
Angry and desperate, and in disobe
diance to commands from Gates, he
called for his horse and rode to the
front. Galloping along the firing line,
he took charge of the Americans, and
directed the entire battle The men
greeted him with loud cheers. Dashing
among his men where the fighting was
fiercest, he waved his sword above
his nead and uttered commands heard
above the confusion of battle. ' The
men, inspired by his bold daring, fol
lowed him, charged against, and de
feated the British. Thus the battle
was ended. It was Arnolds battle and
Arnolds victory, though Gates claimed
the credit for It. In 1778 Arnold was
put in command of Philadelphia, but
he so abused his command that he was
sentenced to be reprimanded by Wash
ington. This aroused a thirst for re
venge and led him to form a scheme
to give up the Hudson river to the
enemy. With this end in view, he ask
ed Washington for the command of
West Point, the great stronghold on
the Hudson. He received the command
and at once made plans to surrender
it to Clinton, the British general. The
British agent in the negotiation
(Andre) while on his way back to New
York was stopped, searched, and pa
pers, in Arnolds handwriting, address
ed to Clinton were luunu u mm. i
was arrested and hanged as a spy.
News of his arrest reached Arnold m
time for him to make his escape to
the British with whom he fought. At
the end of the war ne went to Eng
land, where he later died, heart-broken
and deeply repentant of the awful
deed he had committed.
Reflect for a brief moment upoh this
mans life and think of the appurtuni
ties for undying glory which he for
feited. Here was Arnold, a brave
man, a courageous general, a fearless
fighter. No man in the whole Con
tinental army was more trusted than
he. Even Washington had great faith
in him as a fighters All of his mili
tary valor had shown him to be a man
of promise. But as" a certain historian
says of him "Arnold lacked that moral
courage, without which great abili-

The Fund For The Monument As It
Stands on . The Secretary's Record
To Date Two Townships not Yet
Represented, $1700, To Be Raised.
The Secretary of the Monumental
and Memorial Association .has com
piled from the subscription lists and
records in her hands, the status of
the fund for the Fulton county Sol
diers Monument at the present date.
This report makes no pretense to
absolute accuracy so far as the total
amount of money raised is concern
ed, except that the total given is the
exact .amount of money subscribed to
the fund as reported to the Associa
tion to this date, there may be and
doubtless are subscription - lists that
have not been reported and it will be
readily seen that it is important that
all money paid or subscriptions made
for the monument should be reported
as eoon as possible to the Secretary
in order that the work of raising the
money may be completed and the
purchase and erection of the monu-
vumt- lia' mnciiYvinf'Asl Vltkin til. VAII,
No matter how large or- small the
amount may be if solicitors will re
port promptly to the secretary the
progress of the fund's growth will
be noted from week to week and the
raising of the amount necessary will
be hastened.
If anyone in the county, is desirous
of . securing subscriptions ' for this
purpose they may .secure subscrip
tion blanks and information by ad
dressing the secretary Miss Kathryn
B. Weir, Wauseon, O.
The endeavor has been ' made in
compiling the following report to give
the amount from each township; here
again, there may be inaccuracies
arising from the fact . that the resi
dence of the countributor . was not
definitely known. The amounts re
ceived from the-, various schools are
included in the amounts credited to
the townships in which, the schools
are locate..

there remains a balance of $1715.10

opportunity for work and it will be

WAUSEON IN THE PHILIPINES
Nearly seven years aeo one of our
Wauseon boys, Frank , Weir, enlisted
n the U. B. army for service in. the
Philipines, the term of his enlistment
having expired he remained in the
Philipines, entering the civil service
in the Bureau of Posts at Manila.
For nearly four years he has re
mained in this service and as a dem
onstration that he h&if rendered effi-
lent serv'ce comes the news of his
recent appointment as an inspector in
that Bureau. Mr. Weir now has. sup
ervision of about 100 post offices m
jluded in a territory that might be
equal to eight to ten Oh'o counties;
ne will have complete control of the
Postal Savine Bank, money order
and telegraph ' departments in these
offices and will be on the road most
of the time. ' In regard to the policy
of the present administration to FUi-
pinize the government by displacing
Americans and placing native - Fili
pinos in governmental positions, thus
nastening the islands on toward in
dependent government, it is interest
ing: to learn what a bright wideawake
young American who has no political
strings to pull, who has had oppor
tunity to observe . and to whom has
fal'en the task of instructing these
lame Filipinos in the duties of public
service, thinks of the situation. Mr.
Weir's opinions were not written for
Publication, f but the editor has
"cribbed" the following from a letter
from Mr. Weir to the home folks;

The weather in Kansas continued
delightful untill, we left there Jan.
27, when there was a cold wave ap
proaching from the west which struck
Kansas about thirty-six j, hours after
we left accompanied with high winds
and heavy snow fall. At Springfield,
Mo., we made "close .connections with
Kansas City and Florida limited train
and kept about thirty-six hours ahead
of the storm, arriving at our home
in Windermere January 30th, without
incident. We had delightful weather
all the way. Temperature was 80 in
the shade the day we arrived here.,
Mrs. Miller was pretty well ex
hausted but stood the trip ouite well
considering her condition. We found

of Honor will continue to increase un
till every citizen of old Fulton county
will have their names on the roll by
subscribing from one to one hundred
dollars to the noble work. Fulton
county has- the means and I believe the
patriotism to build a $5000.00 monu

of her noble sons, some of whom died
upon nearly every great battle' field
of the civil war.

for public office the holding of county

change took away some of the ob

away one very enjoyable feature that
nearly every person who attended a
convention has missed that of so

from the different parts of the coun

new order of things has come to pass
there has been a longing for another

CHILD LIFECflNFERENCE
Permanent Benefits to Be Secured By
Local Committee. Suggestions
Made By Workers In Regard to
Wauseon Social Life.
That permanent benefit may come
to this city through the child life con
ference held here last week an organ-
itatiur: ij, to De Drougnt about to di
rect all efforts affecting child life.
At a meeting or interested men on
Wednesday of the conference C. n.
Greenleaf was selected to head a com
mittee of three people of bis own
choosing which should provide for
such an organization. And in this
address of that evening Dr. Forbush
suggested that each of the women's
clubs appoint one member of a cen
tral committee which should co-operate
in the work. He suggested like
wise the formation of clubs within
the churches and also in groups- of
families both for boys and. for girls,
usuiK, u practicaoie, me pian oi tne
Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls or
ganizations. .
. It has already been decided to hold
weekly story hours for groups of chil
dren in the public library, the story
hours to be on' Saturdays, in the fore
noon, and conducted by local women,
several of whom have volunteered for
the work. The children who attended
the story hours conducted by Mrs.
Paulsen last week at the library and
the slightly older children who par
ticipated in her play hours and play
festival at the school houses are en-
thusiastic to have these times of rec
reation continued. ' Thex games Mrs.
Paulsen taught Pre new as wen as in
structive and could be carried on in
any locally conducted festival. One
of the most interesting features of
Mrs. Paulsen s story hour was the in
troduction of "Bottle dolls", repre-
entmg nearly one hundred characters
in the familiar Mother Goose Rhymes.
t hese dolls, which are merely bottles
transformed by paper and cloth to im-
oersonate dolls, are fully as attract
ive as wax dolls and hffve the added
advantage of being practically inde
structible nd capable of standing
irect. It is expected that sets of these
lolls will be secured for the local
story hours. Assurances that such a
story hour can be successfully carried
-n here come from Ligonier, Ind., a
olace similar in size to Wauseon,
where the plan has been in operation
n the public library for some time.
The idea of holding child life con-
perences in cities and towns is a new
one for' the American Institute of
Child Life and Wauseon now has the
distinction of having been the first
n1 ace that such a conference has been
held by the institute. The institute
s a national organization naving on
ta administration board such well
known men as Ben Lindsey and the
wo university presidents. David Starr
Tordan and ti. Stanley uaii.
While in Wauseon Dr. Forbush.
resident of the Institute and noted
'uvenile exnert. together with his as
sistants, Mrs. Heller and Mrs. Paul
sen, held private interviews and gave
?ounsel to many parents and schoo1
-hildren, later basing their recommen
dations made in public upon condi
tions revealed through these inter
views. Dr. Forbush has promised
hhat the Institute at Philadelphia will
keep in touch with conditions in Wau
seon, inviting correspondence from the
cal committee and all who may be
interested. If it is so desired the in
stitute will send another of its rep
resentatives to Wauseon after several
months to assist the local committee.
One of the hones expressed by Dr.
Forbush was that the public schools
d library should become social cen
ters both for parents and for chil
dren.
The conference except, for the tick
t. nnrphased by individuals, has
been of no expense to the people of
Wauseon or to any organization in
this town.

UNDERTAKES BIG JOB.
Last Sunday Charley Pritchard, not
"our Charley," but a fellow that claims
the same name, started on a rather
calossal job down in Swanton; he
3tarted in by filling un on aornA nnrfc
or booze and getting out on Swanton
streets loking for trouble. The Swan
ton marshal! gave him fair warning
that Fulton county was too large to
clean up in one day and sent him home
a couple of times, but Charley was
full of "bug juice" and could not
change his pointof view to that of the
marshall; finally the marshall thought
that patience ceased to be a virtue and
proceeeded to take him into custody
and bring-him to Wauseon-Pritchard
thereupon sailed into the marshall
and beat him up but failed to make
tiis get-away and was brought to the
:ounty jail where he met up with
deputy sheriff Boone whose counten
ance he proposed to decorate. Mr.
Boone however objected and prevent
ed any such decorative work. Sheriff
McQuillin came on the scene and pro
posed that if Pritchard had to hit
3ome-one he better hit him; Pritchard
acted on the suggestion and when he
thought he had landed the blow he
found himself on the floor and to
sheriff advising him that he would
show him to his room. Monday he
was taken before Justice Deyo who
fined him $10.00 and. costs and re
manded him to jail until fine and
costs i were paid.
Pritchard came to Swanton some
four or five weeks ago and has been
working in the hotel at that Dlace.
