Frequent announcements of reduc
tions in the price of automobiles con
tinues to keep to the front the pro
blem of over-insurance of cars
atrainst loss by fire and theft. The
situation faced bv the underwriters is
complicated by the fact that, in the
opinion of some of them. tne
"passive" moral hazard is really the
most difficult ciuestion with which to
deal. Through reporting agencies
and other means the companies can
learn tHe standing of a man who is
in bad repute and refuse to insure
his car. but they cannot tell how far
a man of good reputation may be in
fluenced towards carelessness by the
fact that his car is insured for an
amount in excess of the price of a
new one of the same make.
With a view of impressing upon
agents the extent of the cut in prices
and the fact that when they insure
cars they must have in mind the fact
that other cuts are to be expected
and that the amount of insurance
granted must be kept down. We
quote the following list of old prices
of well known makes of cars and
prices of the same makes on Septem
ber 7, 1921:

BIRTHDAY PARTY
The members of the house of Miss
Euphrasia Gushman gave her a sur
prise party Tuesday evening.
, For several days before the affair
came off whispering could be heard
and groups could be seen in different
parts of the house, planning and
talking over how they could surprise
her and how they could get her away
from the house long enough to for
mulate their plans. The Domestic
Science teacher in the house seemed
to be the instigator of the affair.
It came about when one of the
"kleine madchens" of the house took
Miss Gushman out to dinner, and in
the meantime the rest of the plotters
got in their "dirty" work.

being put in effect in Ohio, is the phers P.robably procurred most of
flrst practical method that has been
suggested,
Davis, briefly, wants public im
provement work pushed through the
winter. Then he proposes to have
all resulting jobs at unskilled tasks
apportioned among the unemployed
every two weeks, rotating them so
that all the men will get as much
employment as possible throughout
the cold season. He asks local
authorities and private employees to
tar as possible, tJ co-operate with
the state in carrying out the plan.
It is creditable that Ohio thus
takes the lead in actually helping the
thousands of jobless and their de
pendents. The plan from all view
points seems one in which the utmost
co-operation by all who may aid in
it, is to be strongly advocated. We
believe by originating and . earring
out this plan, Governor Davis is per
forming a service, the value of which
not only to those out of jobs and their
women and children, but to the entire
state, is beyond estimate.

Did you ever stop and think, Mr.
Wauseon Merchant, that the town
that gets the publicity is the town
that gets the business? That the
town filled with good advertisers is
the town that grows? That adver
tising properly done is worth its
weight in gold, and that advertising
is business, and not child's play?
That people will drive for - miles to
trade in a good, live town? That
your property will increase in value
when the outside world knows you
and your town are wide awake? That
people from neighboring towns will
come where there is something worth
coming for? That. the merchant who
doesn't seek to build up a better
trade than he now has will lost out?
That now is the time your town and
your business needs advertising more
than ever before because business is
harder to get than it has been for
two or three years? That if you do
not hustle for trade in the community
about you the merchants in some
other town will? That if they do not
get the business you've no one to
blame but yourself if it doesn't come
to you? Think it over. And then
come in and let us show you how
little good advertising costs.

And here are matters of interest
from the writings of Capt. J. Carver,
an English officer who explored the
northwest and then visited Detroit.
He says: "In June, 1768, I left Michi
llimacinac and returned in the Glad
wyn Schooner, a vessel of about
eighty tons burthen, over Lake
Huron to Lake St. Clair, where we
left the ship and proceeded in boats
for the cultivation of wheat, Indian
corn, oats and peas. It has also
many spots of fine pasturage, but the
inhabitants who are chiefly French
that have submitted to the English
government after the conquest of
these parts by General Amhurst, are
more attentive to the Indian trade
than to farming. The town of De
troit contains upwards of one hundred
houses. The streets are somewhat
regular and have a range of conven
ient and handsome barracks, with a
spacious parade at the south end. On
the west side lies the King's garden '
belonging to the governor which is
very well laid out and kept in good
order. The fortifications of the town
consist of a strong stockade made of
round piles fixed firmly in the ground
and lined with palisades. The garri
son in times of peace consist of two
hundred commanded by a field officer
who acts as chief magistrate under
the governor of Canada. Mr. Turn
bull, captain of the 60th regiment of
Royal Americans was commandant
when I happened to be there."

Wauseon has two good banks, The
Peoples State Bank and The First
National Bank.
The Peoples State Bank was found
ed in 1889 and is the oldest bank in
the county. Early in this year a
partnership was formed by Geo. D.
Green, Charles C. Greenleaf, William
H. Eager, Geo. S. Clement, Hiram
Pritchard and Frank Smallman, for
the purpose of doing a general bank
ing business. The capital at that
time was about $15,000 and today it
is $100,000 with a surplus of $25,000. '
Of the original founders of this
bank three are still living, W. H.
Eager, Geo. D. Green and Frank
Smallman. The doors were qpeped
first for business pn. Dec. 10th, 1889,
With the exception of a few months
Mr. Chas. W. Struble has been the
cashier since it has been founded.
The Capital and Surplus of this bank
are $125,000 and the total resources
nearly one million dollars, making it
a sound business institution.
The building that it now occupies
is a beautiful two story building and
is worthy of the town.
The First National Bank was or
ganized in 1904. With only 17
years of service it has built up a
strong financial institution.
