POSTAL ROBBERS
BREAK JAIL
. .AT TOLEDO
Not a shot was fired when three
desperadoes flee jail last Monday at
Toledo. The escaped prisoners are
Joe Urbaytis, George Lewis and
Charley Schultz, postal robbers who
were arrested last February in con
nection with the Post Office rob
bery. To see if one of the prisoners were
"kidding" when he said the "bullpen"
door at the, county jail was unlocked,
Turnkey Andrew Szemetko jf ster
day unlocked it. In an instant he
was on his back and the three
desperadoes were pummeling him
with whatever they could seize and
in another instant they were footing
it to freedom.
Although searching parties have
been set out, as yet none of the rob
iui'Ti have been apprehended.
Sheriff Ford and his deputies were
.notified and were on the lookout for
them but it is evident they did not
come this way.
wnrH to !
The ground is covered with conces
sions. More than has ever oeeii
on the grounds before, and if many
more were to come and want space
the Fair Board would have to enlarge
the grdunds.
The new bleachers are all com
pleted and the track . is in fine condi
tion, all fences have been painted
white and quarter poles in three
different colors. Everything points
to the largest fair in history. .
We wish to speak a good word for
the fair officers and their Superin
tendents and assistants. They have
been hard at work for days and
weeks, getting the grounds in shape,
putting up new buildings and getting
the people interested in making ex
hibits. The magnificant display o'i
the grounds this week speaks louder
than words. '
The people of Fulton County can
well be proud of this fair as it is the
best in Northwestern Ohio.
by the new system.
Governor Davis has said in this
connection that this is merely the be
ginning of even greater savings to
the people of the state, that will ac
company operation of the govern
ment under the reorganized plan. .
It is a good beginning. Heretofore,
the plans merits necessarily have
had to be judged from a theoretical
standpoint. Its possibilities for im
provement in the transaction of the
state business, and for eliminating
waste, have necessarily had a strong
appeal to the taxpayers.
Now it is beginning to prove in :i
practical way, by the actual saving
of dollars and cents, the fundamental
soundness of Governor Davis idea,
It is a beginning which is welcomed
by the people of the country and
state and the efforts of ' Governor
Davis to bring down the cost of gov
ernment still more and at the same
time improve the service have the
hearty approval and moral support
of all the citizens.

Buick cars shipped from the fac
tories at Flint. Mich., in the 12 full
shipping days of the first half of
August numbered 5'JUU, according i
announcement by the Buick Motor
Co. This figure represents an aver
age daily shipment of 483 cars.
High point shipping days were
August 3, when 635 cars left the
factory and August 15 when 634
were placed in transit. Ui the b.ii
jars shipped August 15, a total of
015 were loaded iit box cars, repre
senting 201 box car loads of Euicks.
Following upon the excellent sales
results and deliveries accomplished
n June and July, the Buick com
pany regards the shipment of 5800
ars in the first 12 shipping days of
August ' as a positive indication ef
the healthy condition of the. auto in
dustry. The figures are additionally
significant in that they represent not
jnly a well-maintained but a stead
.ly increasing demand from the pur-
hasing puulic.
Buick's production schedule for
August was set at 12,000 cars and
he factory manufacturing records
indicate the company is swinging
.tione at a pace which will more than
meet this schedule.
ANDREW MIKESELL
Andrew Mikesell was born May
2, 1844 in Clinton Township on the
iarm where he spent his last days
;n earth. He was the son of Adam
and Mary Mikesell who came to what
is now Fulton County, from Fennsyl
rania in 1837.
Mr. Mikesell answered the call of
his country in the Civil War and en
listed in Company II 8t?th Regiment
J. V. I. and served until February
10, 1864, when he was honorably dis
charged.

The Commerce Club held an impor
tant meeting last Thursday evening
at the City Hall. It is the first
meeting that has been held for some
time and was called for the purpose
of considering a proposition that de
sires to come to Wauseon.
An Upholstering concern headed
by Mr. Jake Buehrer wants to locate
here and manulacture chairs, rock
ers and davenports.
The building that they have in
mind to be used by them is the old
Williams Light Plant on Brunnell
Street now owned by the T. and I. R.
R.
Mr. Buehrer in his talk to the club
the other evening, said there is a
great demand for these goods, that
they would start by doing the uphol
streing and in a short time they
would manufacture the frames, here,
and that that would, necessitate more
building space. He submitted cuts
of the different rockers and chairs to
be made and they looked very good.
This will not be a stock company
but will be financed by the men in
terested in the company. . They ask
that the town furnish them building
and lot and that they sign a
contract to stay in business here for
five years, alter that time the town
will deed the building and lot to
them. '
Considerable discussion was had
over the proposition of furnishing
them with a lot and building to be
theirs if they stayed here five years,

anything.

OFFICIALS TAKE OFFICE
Three County officials took office
this week. County Treasurer, Carl
Orth and County Surveyor ' Bernath
start upon their second term, while
Mr. Orlo Whittecar begins his first
term as County Recorder. ,
We can vouch for Mr. Wh.ttecar as
we know he will make a good man is
Recorder. Ke has been a success
ful farmer and business man and will
make good in his new office. He
was elected by a laige majority.
Mr. Orth and Mr. Bernath both
have rendered very satisfactory ser
vice to the people oi the county dur
ing their first term and were elected
by large majorities to their second
terms.
The Surveyors office has become
one of the most important to the tax
payers of any in the county as there
are hundreds of thousands of dollar;
to be spent in road, bridge and ditch
work.
Mr. Bernath will make no change
in his office nersonnel.
Mr. Orth will for the next two
vears courteously collect and dis
burse the taxes of the county. He
will make no change in his office
force.
TORIES OF AMERICA AND AMERICANS
There are many people still living
who can remember on their visit to
old Fort Meigs of seeing the end of
a log protruding above the top of the
old fort well. Photographs in ex
istance show the situation. This is
the story of the old log.
lor the Harrison campaign meet
ing at the fort in 1840 it was arrang
ed that a cabin should be built as
Harrsion's reception quarters. One
log for a structure was to be fur
nished by each township in Wood and
Lucas counties. The first log ar
rived from near Swanton. Ohio. It
was a fine stick of timber some fifty
feet in length arid its appearance was
the signal for a jollification. Cannon
ooomed and hard welder flowed freely.
Next morning many of the Whigs
visited the fort to see the log but
were-, surprised to find it up-ended
into the old well with the top pro
jecting about five feet above the sur
face. And in the top of the log a
hole had been bored and a hickorv
bush planted
therein. A good
Democratic campaign joke; and while 1 10th and June 11th the
this log never held an honored posi-fings."
tion in the Harrison cabin, plenty
more logs arrived to complete it.
The idea of this wonderful demon
stration, probably the largest politi
cal gathering in early western his
tory, in which some 40,000 to 60,000
people participated, originated in
Columbus. At a meeting at the
capital Feb. 21, 1840, to ratify Har
rison's nomination at Philadelphia,
Dec. 4, 1839, a minature fort, manned
by a brass cannon cast at Toledo and
a few iron pieces, was exhibited to
the whigs. This gave the idea for
the celebration.
A flotilla of sixteen steamboats
headed by the "Commodore Perry"
give sight as they steamed up the
Maumee river. ' Military companies
headed by bands, long processions
with slogans and decorations came
streaming in from all quarters.
Thousands arrived days before the
time afoot, on horseback and in all
styles of vehicles. Thousands slept
in the woods about the fort. A mock
siege occurred on the night of the

COLUMBUS AND HIS CRACKED EGG
Many a woman has cracked an egg and no one knows anything about it. But Col
umbus cracked an egg and the whole world has heard of it.
It is the most famous cracked egg in history. Why?
Because Cloumbus' egg has tyeen advertised!
If you had a dollar for every tree that has been chopped down you would be a
millionaire several times over. But who knows about them? There is only one chopped
down tree you and I remember offhand George Washington's cherry tree.
It has been advertised.
Not even the Lusitania was so well known as Noah's Ark and if Adam and Eve
had had any sense they would have made a wonderful financial success of the Garden
of Eden, with all the free publicity theygot out of it.
Just imagine the Garden of Eden with a cabaret and duck dinners and a little bit
o' something to drink on the side. Would you pay any attention to the ten pp.rn.mand
ments if they had not been advertised so yell and recommended so highly?
If Cleopatra and Mark Anthony were alive today they could make a fortune out of
all the advertising they received. Likewise Romeo and Juliet.
Nero would not have to worry about his job. Most anybody would go to him for
violin lessons, and Caesar could make oodles'of money as a fencing instructor or some
thing of the sort.
You can do the most wonderful thing in the world and still nobody will pay the
slightest attention to you unless you tell the public about it. Modesty is a great virtue,
but it doesn't get you anything. You may as well toot your own horn all the brass
bands are busy these days holding union me itings. Evop the undertakers advertise
nowadays and the cemetries and coffin manufacturers.
You are as live as they are, aren't you?
There are more people coming into the world than going out. And just as soon as
they come they need things. Milk and bottles and clothes and goodness only knows
wljat else.
It h up to you to make them buy YOUR goods. Remember Columbus ftti4

Mid-August registration figures
show 10 percent more new students
enrolled at the Ohio State Universi
ty than were enrolled at the same
time last year, but 30 percent fewer
students in agriculture. Indications
are that hard times on the farms
have discouraged country boys from
seeking collegiate training in agri
culture. A special article on this situation,
addressed directly to the farm boys
of Ohio, appt:trs in the September
Agricultural btudent, published
by students of the Ohio State Uni
versity monthly during the school
year. It is written by Alfred Vi
vian, dean of the college of agricul
ture. From figures gathered in Ohio by
investigating economists he shows
that agricultural college training ac
tually triples the income of the man
on the land, and adds that powerful
forces now at work are certain to
better living conditions on the farm.
"Rightly organized country life offers
more in the way of intellectual en-
joment and of satisfying social life
than is possible in any other sur
roundings," the Dean declares.
He urges farm boys to think seri
ously before turning to callings in
which they have served no appren
ticeship, and. for which they may
have no aptitude. "Ask yourself
whether the certainty and solidity of
farming is not worth considering,
and get your education during this
period of depression, when your time
is worth least, making ready for the
next period of prosperity, which, I
firmly believe, is not very remote,"
he concludes.

NEW PRISON FARM
STITCHES IN TIME
Paper ice-cream pails, cleaned and
dried, come in handy as school lunch
boxes.
An investigation of plans for the
state prison farm at London, made at
the instance of Governor Davis, has
revealed the startling information
that the taxpayers of Ohio would
have to produce the neat - sum of
$23,500,000 for its construction.
Several years ago, it had been stat
ed that it could be built for about
$8,000,000, but it now appears that
the plans called for buildings of a
highly ornate type, elaborate and
luxurious features and other phases
costly beyond any reason lor a peni
tentiary. It is highly encouraging to the tax
payers of the state that Governor
Davis has promptly caused the eli
mination of "gingerbread and frills'
from the prison plans, and has caus
ed them to- be modified and simpli
fied along plain, sound and substan
tial lines, that will save Ohio appro
ximately $15,000,000. He has di
rected that construction of the prison
farm proceed in accordance with
these new plans.
The state needs a new penal insti
tution. But it doeUnot need, nor
are the people of theAtate in a mood
to provide, an elaborate country club
for law-brt&kers. Governor Davis
properly has called a halt to the
project as originally contemplated.
and is causing it to be carried out in
a way that , is in keeping with its
purpose and at vastly reduced cost.
His action cannot but meet with urn- 1
versal approval and encouragement
from Ohio's citizenship.
