HISTORY'S DAWN
111 NORTH
WESTERN OHIO
One writer says the history of the
Ohio vallev nronerlv began with
LaSalle's expedition of ICO!), in which j
year he discovered ana aeseenueu me
Ohio, and that from this we may as
sume he was familiar with the larg
er streams of the Ohio region. Many
writers believe he ourneyed up the
Miami of the Lake (Maumee River)
on his expedtiion, and if so he was
probably the first white man to
' traverse its waters. As he built
tie first fort near the site of Fort
Wayne on his return trip by land
iro.ii hi3 expedition and wmch was
fir.it t4'ed Fort Miami, this conjec
ture may be true. ;
It has also been claimed that the
French in 1630 built a trading post
at the site of Fort Miami of 1812
fame, on the Maumee, just opposite
the present town of Perrysburg.
Some have suggested this post was
confused with the Miami defense at
Fort Wayne. However this may be,
it is a pretty safe conjecture that
along about these dates, the beauti
ful Miami of the Lake bore up and
down its waters the boat of the pale
face.. We do know to a certainty of the
wonderful expedition , sent but by
Marquis de la Galissoniere at the
head of which was Celeron and Bon
necamps who explored the Ohio re
gion and traversed the Maumee from
nearly the head to the lake, in 1749,
and have the accounts of Croghan
and Gist.
Colonel- James Smith was also on
Maumee Cay and the little lake (San
dusKy Cay) on two occasions be
tween 1755-59. The Celeron-Bon-necamp's
expedition is deserving of a
separate paper, yet Colonel Smith's
story of his five years wanderings
auout the Ohio and Lake Erie re
gions is one of the most interesting
narratives in local early history. He
tells of being in the now named
Maumee bay and hunting on its
bordering shorts on two different oc
casions. Colonel Smith was a Pennsylvan
ian and was born in 1737. In May
1755, the Province of Pennsylvania
sent out three hundred men to cut a
wagon road from Fort Loudon Brad
docn's road "near the Turkey Foot,
or Wee forks of Yohogania." In
starting his story Colonel Smith
says: "Though at that time I was.
only eighteen years of age I had
fallen violently in love with a young
lad whom I apprehend was possessed
of a large share of both beauty and
virtue; but being born between Venue
and Mars I concluded I must also

A-LITTlEBETTER-FOOt
- HOMELIKE
STATE AND NATIONAL
ADMINISTRATION
MAKING GOOD
Ohio Republicans who are mislead
by nisinuations of party conflict
carried in Democratic propaganda are
merely playing into the hands of the
enemy. There is no conflict in the
Republican ranks. Individuals dis
agree in all parties and it is a heal
thy condition indeed when men who
have opinions freely express them so
that there may be open discussion of
public questions.
In state affairs there is but one aim
of the administration to give Ohio
better government at less expense.
This is being done and done well. It
is pointed out that in July the state
spent a million dollars more than in
July last year. This is true. Demo
cratic propaganda stops at the mere
statement, forgetting to add that for
this million the state is to have a
million dollars worth of permanent
good highway. Expenses for state
government for July were materially
reduced.
One of the delightful pastimes of
the Democratic press is to tell of one
combination among Republicans lin
ing up against another combination
for state office next year. It is
quite likely that there will be a num
ber of candidates for state office
among members of the Republican
party. Is this Denjpcratic propaganda
concerning combinations to be taken
to mean that the Cox-Durbin outfit
is to slate its ticket? Possibly so'.
That has been 'done in the past. There
will be no slate for state office in the
Republican primary. It will be an
open field.
The desire of the Democratic ma
chine, which is -in a bad way, is to
have Ohioans forget that the nation
al administration has cut more than
$750,000,000 off the appropriation
bill as compared with the last fiscal
year and that under the contraliza
tion of authority in state affairs, less
money is being' spent and greater
efficiency's the goal.
The Ohio Democratic organization
forgets to mention the fact that the
big Democratic newspapers of Ameri
ca are forced to admit that thus far
the Harding administration has made
good, and that it is meeting with pub
lic approval in veery section. Not
only the press, but the big men of
all "parties stand in admiration at the
retrenchment made by the American
government in the last four months.
It has attracted attention beyond our
own border and it is being held up is
an example of thrift and sound gov
ernment. This condition has been brought
about regardless ef the fact that the
country has just passed through the
greatest orgy of waste sever known.
The revival of business which is
seen in every city in the land is dis
concerting to the Democratic organi
zations. I'ropaganda must be made
and spread which will direct the pub
lic's attention to non-essential mat
ters. The success of the Republican ad
ministration in Washington is the re
sult of clooe cooperation and honest
purpose. What is true in the na
tion's capitol is true in the state.
There has been a riot of mismanage
ment of affairs in Ohio for a number
of years and it has been blamed on
"the war" and accepted as onei of the
results of war. Keep an eye on the
efforts being made to stabilize the
government and return to normal
businessxand living and these paid
propagandists will not be worthy of
their hire.

UNUSUAL PHOTOPLAY
New George Melford Picture Has
Appealing Story
Something unusual in the way of
photoplay production is promised in
George Melford's "Behold My Wife"
which will be shown at the Princess
Theatre for two days commencing
Tuesday September 27th next. The
picture was adapted from Sir Gilbert
Parker's popular novel, "The Trans
lation of a Savage" and is declared
to combine a deeply appealing story
with lavish and artistic settings.
An aristocratic young Englishman,
temporarily located in Canada, and
an Indian girl, whom, in a moment of
rage because his parents have caused
I his dance back home to jilt him, he
i marries are the chief characters in
i the picture. Anxious, to disgrace his
: folks, he sends his redskin bride to
England. But he has reckoned with
' out the girl's real character and the
i big-heartcdncss of his elder brother.
For in a few years, she blossoms into
ja real belle. Dramatic events bring
about a reconciliation between the ili
1 mated pair. '

Sills and Elliott Dexter are in the

TAKING HIS MEDICINE

we would have had a panic without

there is a set of men capable of com

luck, the farmers compose that set.
They have taken their losses, and
plunged in to produce more to fight
their way out.
It is not surprising when a calf
brings 6c on the farm and 60c on the
restaurant table that the farmer is
taking steps to see what can be done
toward improving the marketing of
the things he raises, to try to reduce
the wide gap between himself and the
ultimate consumer of his products
No other business, man can point to
as wide a margin between that which
he turns out at his factory and th
price the consumer has to pay for it.
That's why we say the American
farmer, in refusing to quit and let
the country starve to death, ia
setting an example which other
American citizens might find well

Rebecca Yeager was born in North
Georgetown Columbiana County, O.,
September 22nd, 1838.
She was united in marriage with
Martin V. McLaughlin August 7th,
1S53, who preceeded her to the Great
Beyond . Feb. 1st, 1903. To this
union were born six children, three
sons and three daughters, Frank,
Emma, Ella, Ellsworth, Libbie and
Til man H.
In 1864 they settled on a farm in
Fulton County, the country was new
but bravely she shared in the toil
and privations of pioneer life. With
the exception of one year she has
always resided in this vicinity since
1864.
In a series of meetings held at
West Barry conducted by Rev, Ber
ton Baldwin she professed savering
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, but
was not identified with any church
until the conversion of her husband
under the ministry of Rev. J. D.
Snyder about fifty years ago, when
with her companion she joined the
church of the United Brethren in
Christ at Olive 'Branch and later

COUNCIL MEETING
Council met in regular , session
Monday evening. Only four mem
bers were present. Minutes of last
meeting read and Approved. Mr. D.
F. Rohrs was the first to appear be
fore the Council, he asked permission
to put in a concrete driveway, Mayor
referred this to the Street Committee
with power to act.
Several residents of East Elm
street were on hand to object to the
assessment on sewer against the
property on that street . Judge
Wolf was the spokesman and .in go
ing over the figures of the assess
ment against the property he found
that the figures were not right. Pro
perty cannot be assessed for more
than 1-3 of its valuation. The as
sessment against these lots is $1.86
per foot.
The Council agreed to go over the
proposition with the residents and
they to appoint one man and the pro
perty owners one man to appraise
the property. Mr. W. W. Croninger
was selected by the Council.
The assessment on some oi the va
cant lots would be more than they
are worth, also the payment of this
assessment can be paid in 30 days, if
not paid in that time it will be certi
fied and will draw interest, until
December of next year.
Mr. C. H. Reed and Mr. Stevens
-asked that assessment be cut down
on their property as they receive no
benefit whatever from the storm and
sanitary sewer. Council - referred
the matter to City Solicitor who ad
vised them that this should be done.
The Council next took ud the Re-
f solution for a tax levy. A new law
has just been passed allowing City
Councils to bring before the voters
a 3 mill tax levy. This is known as
House Bill No. 34 and was passed at
the last General Assembly as the
town is badly in need of, money to
make improvement and pay bills,
every voter in the town should be
interested in this matter and vote
yes at the November election.
Second reading ' of petition to im
prove Franklin Street between East
Chestnut Street and Cherry Street
Council does not think it proper to
improve just one block on this street
and it will probably be laid on the
table indefinitely.
Motion was made and passed to
buy a push cart for the Street Com
missioner that was needed badly.
The North Pulton Street improve
ment was again brought up. Some
want this street improved, others
want it repaired. With the heavy
traffic that comes over this piece of
road it would not be advisable to put
in a macadam road. It would sim
ply mean that it would have to be
repaired every year and would be a
burden to the town.
Regular Claim Ordinance passed.
NEW LAW
i
The voters of Wauseon wilt have
an opportunity to vote on a 3 mill
tax levy at the November election.
An act that has just been passed
by the last General Assembly and is.
known as House Bill No. 34 give the
officials a right to bring before the
people at a general election a ballot
for a 3 mill levy.
This is badly needed to make im
provements and also to keep up the
ones we already have and to pay
other bills.
Every voter should think this mat
ter over seriously when they go to
the poles to vote. '
