chairman of the meeting. In accept
ing the invitation of, the committee to
preside at this., meeting Mr. Allen
said :"I received your letter in rela
tion .to a "Get-to.getlier" meeting
in ,the near future. I heartily ap
prove of the plan of procedure, con
sider it a high honor to be, called to
preside at such a gathering. It, is
high time that the Republicans of
Fulton county assert themselves, lay
aside their differences, and put an end
to the present disgraceful govern
ment of the best state in the union.
I believe one and all Progressives
and Standpats have had a sufficien
cy of family quarrel and will, this
fall, present an old time front to the
common enemy. v

' The Speakers.
Hon- Frank B. Willis, who is the
most popular man in Ohio today for
the nomination of, governor on the
Republican ticket, .was born on a
farm in Deleware county. He is now
serving his second term in -the nation
al congress representing the eighth
Ohio congressional district During
this service in congress he has al
ways stood a defender of the agricul
tural interest of the country. In his
. CHILD LIFE CONFERENCE
In his closing address at the repent
Child Life ; Conference, Dr. William
" Byron Forbush presented a summary
.' of the endeavors which had been made
by himself and his colleagues in the
useful series of meetings which were
held in our city and a vigorous and
practical program for further social
effort among us. 1 l.
, The endeavor of the representatives
of the American Institute of Child
. Life was not to muck-rake, not to set
a-going any pet reform or crusade,
nor to create new institutions, nor to
raise money. The work of Mrs. Helen
U Paulsen was intended to arouse par
ents, teachers and children as to the
value of stories and games, both for
eeneral education and for the develop
ment of the joy of living. As a direct
result of her work, a weekly stow
hour has been established in our-pub-
lie library. The work of Mrs. Heller

The leaders of the Conference com-
- mented upon the nne aomesui:
campaign two years ago the "Ohio
Farmer" a non-partisan1 farm journal
or tnis state urged all voters of Mr.
Willis' district to support him for re
election regardless of politics.
Mr. Willis is a pleasing speaker.
He i3 alert, keen, honest and direct
in his methods. In his adress he will
pay particular attention to the state
administration . of Gov. Cox." You
will want to hear him. Seeing and
hearing him you can better decide
whether you want to vote for him for
governor of Ohio Come, for he will
want to see you.
The other speaker is the Hon'. Ed'
ward C. Turner, prosecuting attorney
of Franklin county. ' A few years
ago ' nearly everybody irt Ohio, was
talkintr about Mr. Turner. It was
when the legislature bribery scandle
was being probed and Mr. Turner was
sending to the penitentiary those
members, of the legislature who for
got their trust, betrayed the people
whom they were elected to represent
and sold, themselves lor a little gold.
,': Mr. Turner is in the public eye
again just, now, as prosecuting at-
B. WILLIS,
torney of Franklin county. It has
bedn -repeatedly charged that Gov.
Cox by his system of appointment
wa building up a- poiitical 'machine.
A snort time ago it was rumored that
two or three of Gov. Cox's state de
partment appointees were collecting
money from the employes in their
departments to support the Democra
tic .News Bureau, contrary to the pro
vision of the State Civil Service law.
Mr. Turner summoned the grand jury
and began an investigation. In this
investigation he found that durine
the month of January this year there
had been collected from state era
ployes to . support the Democratic
State News Bureau, which issues
Democratic campaign' state litera
ture, more than five thousand dollars.
You will want to hear Mr. Turner.
He will tell you some of the dangers
tnere are m creating so many ap
pointive jobs. He is a very earnest
speaker and he is sought in all parts
of the state to deliver addresses. He
will interest you. Come.

GOLDEN - ANNIVERSARY. ,
One of the most pleasant gather
ings occurred at ' the beautiful coun
try home' of Mr. and ' Mrs, S. I.
Spring, - Friday the thirteenth or
March, it being their golden anniver
sary. ; All their children, zo grand
children,' brothers- and - sisters were
present to enjoy all the good things
which were prepared. Mr. and Mrs.
Spring have eisrht children living, all
of them being present. The' couple
were married in Fulton county and
have lived in the same county during
their fifty years- of married life.
Mr. Spring has been, and is a pros
perous farmer, always up to data in
everything pertaining to agriculture.
He was always a representative man,
and is a Civil war veteran.; r S.
The fact that the couple were mar
ried on Friday, the thirteenth day of
the month, dispels the idea the day
and .date are unlucky, as they have
been blessed with what . the world
terms "Good luck" but which is noth
ing more than persistent efforts. The
couple were blessed with good health
and happiness, : and bid fair to live
long beyond the allotted time of three
score years and ten. ; '
Those present aside from children
and grandchildren were C M. Spring,
a brother, and wife of Wauseon, a
sister, Ellen Anderson of Tedrow,
Wm. Godden and John Godden and
wife of near Delta, Martha Paeean
of Toledo, C. F. Handy and wife of
Ottokee, Henry DeWitt and wife of
N . Dover. A sumptuous dinner was
disposed xt after which the company
repaired to the parlor where ap
propriate and useful .gifts were given
ind received. Remarks suitable to
the occasion were made by C. F.
Handv. C. M " Snrincr. S. T. Snrln.
Walter Spring and others. It was thei
wish of all that the good fortune
which had been theirs for so many
vears may be theirs through the fur
ther journey of life and a happy
hereafter.

lowed by discussions on various sub
jects brought up by .various members

lish a request from them to the boys
and girls, young and old, who like to
indulge in this form of amusement,
not to use their roller skates on if ul
ton' street between the Methodist
church and the court house. Council
man Pontious, chairman of the sewer
committee presented several preplex-
lng problems in connection with the
sewers in various sections of tre town;
but by the tenor of the recommenda
tions Mr. Pontious had studied hard
on these same problems and the council-seemed
disposed to follow his
judgement. J Citizens were present to
ask fof more light and more sidewalk
on East Elm street and their requests
were Referred to the proper -committees.
'The condition of the streets
was another topic for discussion and
the announcement was made that
Marshal Cantleberry had found the
street grader, but .something more
than a heavy, grader is needed on the
unpaved streets. - .
Charles Arnsbarger of Swanton
was present and made a proposition
to the council '-to send them .a Road
drag for use ' on the streets' on ap
proval; the council- voted . to accept
the proposition. At the request of
Tity solicitor Darby, the .council went
into executive .session and the audi
ence of citizens took the hint' and re

OLD MAEAZtfiES
Wanted To Complete Files at The
Public Library. Appeal for Old
, Magazines to be placed Where they
Will Benefit Many;
The public library is in need -of
magazines to complete the reference
list, indexed in the Reader's Guide to
Perodical Literature and Poole's In
dex and it is hoped that many resi
dents of Wauseon will generously
donate to tne library, magazines for
which they may have subscribed, but
for which they no longer have use,
thus filling a great need. Though now
subscribing to twenty-two periodicals
and regularly -.. receiving others as
gifts, the library is still lacking in
many of the : perodicals published.
Some of which are called for almost
every day in reference work.
With the coming of Spring it is
usual for many of our residents to
give away their old magazines to
charitable organizations. - This year,
however, it is requested that the pub
lic library be given the opportunity
of taking the magazines needed to
complete its files; those not needed
still being available for charitable
organizations. . ..
The magazines for which there is
the greatest need, and which are not
now received at the library, are the
American Arena, Bookman, Critic,
Literary Digest, Nation Surveyor
Charities, Dial, Education, Educa
tional Review, School Review, Ele

In The Rural School A Paper Read
Before The Farmers' Institute at
Wauseon By Miss Jessie. Wolcott
Of The Wauseon High School ' "i
My plea to you this afternoon is
for your attention to a line of work
vhat is being shoved aside, a line 01
work that you who are dealing with
Ji6 very practical problems of life
are inclined to think of little value.
A line of work that the schools can
not possibly do without your help.
Because I am putting special em
phasis on training in literature do
not think I would undervalue agricul-
ural or vocational training. lhey
will supply a great need but not the
need of the boy and .the girL The
study of literature has never een
recoimized as of ; any commercial
value, this is one rteason for its being
3hoved aside. It is being shoved
aside not because we think it ef no
value, but because we are looking too
miioh for commercial value, forget-
tinsr that there are other values of
avMi o-reater imDortance than money.
In the consideration of the boy and
the girl we have other things than
the money maicing proposition w
with. We have - to consider these
hildren as the raw stuff from wmcn
we are to develope men and women
finer. Ktrone-er. broader ' and more
than can be produced by
those who consider them as tools to
be sharpened for some practical use,
In the production of this stronger,
broader, more generous type mt man-
ViAnH nrt womanhood, literature rep-
i-oaoVitiTio- th masternieces . of the
master minds of the human race is
to play an important part. :
I now wish to do two things. One
is to awaken in you a greater faith
in the slow sure, rich, invaluable
harvest that will follow the leisurely
ouist Tmrnnarious absorption of al.
the virtues that are in good literary
food "
Another is to arouse you to great
er activity in- helping your boy and
girl to gather irom was grew.

Even for the child that has hot
reached school age there is a great
abundance of material of . literary
Tt will liehten your burden
ot.h Hrlvn nwav many a care to live
through, with your children, the liter
ary world of childhood.. Now dont
draw back, thinking i am.aDout to
urge upon you a duty to weighty for
you to bear. It is during this period
that the child's ear is accustomed to
fV. moinHir nf the cradle sonK and
Mother Goose Rhymes. The mother
who calls these classics to her aid
is lavine the foundation of literary
onnrvioHnii. - and is developing
sense of rhlthmic movement and
word music, which will be of help for
a life time in literary enjoyment.
T.onir before the child is able to read
for itself you should have fed its
fancy with simple stories, myths and
fairy tales. These stories will give
t.h child a command over language
helps it to adjust itself to its place
in t.h world, because it will see rela
tions; and aid in the growth of that
valuable power, imagination; also the
child that can follow thru such long
stories as", This is the House That

Vina pained some idea of logical se
quence- that will help it often in later
life.
Now we come to the . period from
eight to fourteen years of age. This
is the period when the child has just
learned to read, and a time when you
are likelv to nesrlect its literary pur
suits. This is the great narvest time
of the child, it has just acquired the
art of reading and is glorying in this
new power. Its mind is eager and
active and it is loking for new ex
perience. The growing imagination
demands that it has work for more than
inst nractical comon every day affairs
to deal with. Stories from the dim
mvthical. leaendary past will
do
much toward supplying this thirst

the child will not want to read all of '
these without any direction or help
from you. Can you not find time to
follow for a while, with your child,
the fortune of 'poor Uncle Tom as
pictured by Harriet B. Stow. There
is indeed some opposition to the facts
of this story. Maybe, they are not
all true. Its object never was truth.
Its object wasr to touch the hearts and

The knowledge and the oniHt thn

the leading men and women of the

stories of literature that are the mile
stones of thought progress.
Next we come to poetry that form
of expression which has delighted the
numan ear in all. lands and in all
times. This form of literature, be
ginning, as I have already suggested,
with the cradle song, and Mother
Goose Rhyme presents treasures for
avery period of life. Although this
teaching of poetry is the first to be
begun we must not forget that the

ten of slow growth and that in later
lift it becomes the fountain head of
noble ideals, insiprations and thoughs;
because the music of the . woods
makes a strong appeal to the child
and it carries its lesson deep into the
inner consciousness.
And here again let me urge you to
be generous . Every home should
have a book of American Poems and
books containing the best selections
from all the English poets.
Long ago Plato made the state
ment that the character of the peo
ple depends much more upon their
songs than on any thing else. The
poet brings to us the lesson of sym
pathy and suffering: heroism and
patriotism; duty and love. They have
often been the seers of the age in
which they have lived. They have
moulded history and ' changed the
course of the ' stream of .human
thoughts and deeds. .
I have sugested that you buy a few
books of poems for your children,
that they may have them to turn to
time and time again. Once reading
is' not enough for these poems they
must be read over and over again.
Maybe you can help' the children here,

aloud, or recite others that have been
memorized. How patriotism grows
in the soul of the small boy as he
reads of the MidnighV Ride of Paul
Revere; and a few years later what
effort, what struggle would he not
make to accomplish the feat of Sheri
dan twenty miles away; and how
vigorously he will shake old glory
