HOUSES NEEDED IN
FULTON COUNTY
There are 680 new homes needed
in Fulton County. That is, this
many new houses must be built, ac
cording to estimates just made by
the United States . Department of
Commerce, if every family in Fulton
County is to be properly housed. At
the present time one family in six
in this county is without its own
home. Building, on the scale urged
by the Department of Commerce, if
every family in Fulton County is to
be properly housed. -
Building, on scale urged by the
Department of Commerce, also would
go a long way toward beating down
high rents charged in many places.
The above figures have been given
building and loan institutions, which
according to Secretary of Commerc
Hoover are the chief agencies for
home building. To build the esti
mated number of homes needed in
the entire county will take approxi
mately $2,000,000. The assets of
all the 'building and loan institutions
in this county are $500,000 but near
ly 100 per cent of those funds al
ready are loaned on homes and these
financial institutions at the ' present
are handicapped through insufficient
funds in relieving the shortage of
house building funds. "The home
shortage can only be rleieved by the
institutions
catering to home financing," accord-
ing to James A. Devine, secretary,0
of the Ohio Buildine Association!
League. ' ,
Each community will benefit only
in turn as it puts its savings into
institutions that elp to build towns,
said Devine. Every rightful effort
should be made at this time to in
crease construction work especially
in buildings of residential type. Such
activities not only will help alleviate
the ills of inadequate - nousing, but
they will help general business by
providing employment for men who
are now idle and create business for;
many lines of industry.

WHAT THOMPSON
THINKS ABOUT
POSTMASTERS
. According to Sherman A. Cuneo,
Washington Correspondent, our Con
gressman C. J. Thompson, believes
that if it is good for a nation to
change executives it is equally good
to make changes all along the line
irom Postmasters up. Mr. Thomp
son is represented as holding to the
pinion that a new postmaster intro
duces, new blood, new life and better
service and that a Republican post
master is always better than a Dem
ocrat. IHAUTAUQ.UA BEST
IN NINE YEARS
The Wauseon Chautauqua closed
Sunday evening and it can be said
it was the best that has ever been
given here in the history of Chau
tauqua. Every number was excellent and
most especially the lectures given by
Dr. Ott on Tuesday evening and
Judge Kavanagh on Thursday even
ing. These two lectures alone were
well worth the price of a season
ticket. Every number was very
fme and wel1 attended.
lne emiaren were well taken care
by " Hughes.
Mr- T- Platt of Wooster, Ohio
who superintended the Chautauqua
this year is a very congenial gentle
man and did every thing possible to
make things comfortable for every
one.
The plays "Nothing But the
Truth" and light opera "Pinafore"
were delightfully given and enjoyed
by all.
Wihtout a , doubt Wauseon will be
assured of a Chautauqua next year
as nearly 670 tickets were pledged.

STORIES OF AMERICA AfJD AMERICANS
The Cleveland to Fort Meigs Mail Route in 1818-An
Interesting Bit of History Concerning Early Mail
Service in Northwestern Ohio
An interesting ray of light upon
the old historical mail routes in this
country is found in a letter dated
January 22, 1818, and written by
Daniel Kelley; postmaster at Cleve
land, Ohio to Postmaster General
Meigs. The principal points of the
communication are as' follows:
"Cleveland, Ohio Jan. 22, 1818
Honored Sir
"As no person has as yet applied
to carry the mail from this place to
Fort Meigs since the commencement
of the present year, on contract, I
have been obliged to have it conveyed
by specialty and as the reason is,
cannot procure it done short of
about $40 per trip. Through the
Miami swamp it has been to be con
veyed on foot, which takes up two
days each way. Of course the trip
cannot be performed within the lim
ited time. The mail, owing to the
large number of newspapers, pamph
lets, almanacs, etc., has become very
bulky, weighing generally from
fifty to sixty lbs. This having to be
carried on foot through the swamps
30 miles or more is very burdensome,
so much so that in my opinion it
FULTON COUNTY FAIR
WILL BE BIGGEST EVER
The Fulton County Fair will be
held five days this year instead of
four days as originally announced.
Arrangements have been made . to
make Saturday professional auto1
race day with a complete program
of auto races under track franchise
of the International Motor Contests
Association. ' "
This means that auto racers of In
ternational fame who race at the big
State Fair Rac-s such as the Michi
gan State Fnir will be on hand to
compete on a 'to race day. Purses
will be underwritten thropgh pro
minent promoters and cooperation of
the big automobile and national ac
cessory firms. It is planned to have
seven race events of varying dis
tances, including a professional
sweepstakes event.
This will be the first auto races of
any type to be held on the Fulton
County Fair Grounds trcak and
should prove a big feature for the
Tjfair. The local directors are fol-
? ! lowing the footsteps of the big fairs
i of the country by making an added
Tlday of the fair an auto race day.
From all indications every day of
the fair will be a big day starting
with the opening on Tuesday to the
close on Saturday. Wednesday will
be Derby Day with running races,
Thursday and Friday with harness
J events and Saturday with auto races.
Work is well under way at the
Fair Grounds Jn the completion of
the sales pavillion, 66 by 112 feet, the
horse barn, 40 by 112 feet and the
cattle barn 40 by 200 feet. Bleachers
will be erected at the north of the
grandstand. 1 Fences and buildings
are being painted and whitewash is
being liberally ued on the fences and
stands.
A large display will be made by
the International Harvester Co. while
the Ford agents of the county will
combine for a big display of pleasure
and commercial cars and tractors,
giving assurance that the farm im
plement showing will surpass any
previous fair. Reservations for
space and entries are exceeding any
previous year.
Over a score ol horses are now
being trained on the Fulton County
fair track,

price lately contracted for. The man
Mr. Aughambeargh, who carried the
mail under the Taylor contract last
year, I believe made every exertion
that could be made, but has in some
instances failed of punctuality. He
has not had sufficient compensation
for his trouble and losses of horses,
etc., but has performed more punctu
ally than any other carrier on that
route since I have been acquainted
with it. My opinion is that no man
can afford to carry it, is stipulat
ed, short of 1400 dollars, and I think
none who are acquainted with the
route will undertake it for less. This
is even below Mr. Jas. Abbot's state
ment in conversation with me last
fall.
Yours most respectfully,
Daniel Kelley
The fact that this letter refers to
a situation in this region that exist
ed only three years after the Treaty

America's title to this northwestern
