The Journal's great piano Voting
contest is reaching normal propor-'
tion now. It has come to where
you can't tell who is leading. So
many have brought in subscrip
tions and received thoir votes, and
some have so many that no one can
even guess which one has the most.
There is quite a demand for mer
chants' coupons, too. These arc
the little jokers that will probably
tell the story in the end, and this
is the way our readers can help. It
docs not cost you a cent when you
buy groceries, dry goods, hardware,
furniture, clothing, drugs, or what
ever the advertisers have to offer,
and then as the contestant comes
to you, you will have a pleasant
little surprise for her that will prove
you a person who thinks of others,
and it will make her pleased with
you.
Every one of the ladies who is
out for that piano wants it, and
they are trying in every honorable
way to come into possesion . of it.
It is simply a question of which one
you like the best. Of course you
like them all, and Perrysburg and
vicinity have nothing nicer than
these contestants, and what is nicer
for a lady, whether old or young,
than a nice piano and such n, one

A DAY OF REMINICENCES
Pioneer and Historical Association
Hold Annual Reunion.
The annual reunion of the Pio
neer and Historical Association,
was held at Fort Meigs, Saturday,
September 5. The morning was
spent in an informal renewing of
old acquaintances, who enjoyed a
basket picnic at noon. At 2 o'clock
President D. ,K. Ilollenbcck intro
duced the speakers. E. G. McClel
lan of Bowling Green, reviewed
the war of 1812-13, the causes that
led up to it and the benefits this
generation enjoy of tho victory of
the Americans. Dr. C. C. Ilar
roun, one of the pioneer physici
ans of Toled6, spoke, and Austin
Conant, son of Dr. Charles Conmit,
who came to the Maumee Valley
in 1816, told of early incidents of
his father's life, when a visit.to a
patient 50 miles away was not un
usual. Mr. George Mills, who has lived
in Perrysburg township 74 years,
was a boy 15 years old when he
came to Ohio, and who with his
wonderful memory can tell many
interesting things about the early
days, recalled some of the inci
dents of the great rally held at
Fort Meigs on June 11, 1840.
General W. II. Harrison was
present ,being a candidate for the
presidency at that time.
At noon of that day, eleven
steamboats were anchored at the
Perrysburg dock. The number of
people present was estimated at
about thirty-five thousand. There
being no railroads, all kinds of
transportation was put into use,
some traveling several days and
many miles on horseback. Gen
eral Harrison Avas the guest of
John Hollister who lived at that
time in the present Spitzer home.
Many of the people wore the.
names of their homes on their hats
and buckeye canes' were sold as
s'ouvenirs. A sham battle between
Indians and whites was one of the
features of the day, and a com
pany of soldiers from Buffalo and
Cleveland were present. A few
Indians were noticeable. Mr. Mills
remembers the buiding of tllb log
cabin, which was made from logs
brought from each township in
"Wood and Lucas counties, and
also the incident of the members
of the Democratic party putting'
the log in the well. Mrs. Jarius
Curtis, Mr. Foster Pratt and Mr.
George Mills are the only ones
living who were residents of the
'Burg at that time. Mrs. Jarius
Curtis was not present at the Fort
the day of the rally, but stood in
the door of her home when the
parade passed and was greeted by
General Harrison raising his hat.
Mrs. Curtis was Miss Harriett
Norton, aged 12 years, at that
time. She also has a wonderful
memory and relates many inter
esting incidents of early days, but
was not able to attend the reunion
Saturday. Among the pioneers
present at the reunion were : Lam
bert Navarre, son of Peter Na
vai're, and his wife, and Moses
Nason, of East Toledo, residents
of Maumee 80 years ago, when his
playmates were children ot the
Pottawatamies. William Corlett
presented a memorial resolution
for Mrs. Katu Brownleo Sher
wood, who was a member of the
Association for many years.
The picture of the Fort Meigs in
1813 painted by "W. II. Phillips, of
Toledo, was nuug in uiu cumuus
isioners' room at the fort, and por
I traits of Judge Nichols, one of tho
first judges in Ohio ; ex-Governor
James M. Ashley, and D. "W. II.
.Howard, presented by C. C. Os
wald, were also placed on tho
walls of the rooms.
OLD NEW MEXICO
Observations of tho Journal Man
In A Desert Land.
Santa Fe, N. M., Aug. 30, 1914.
" Whnt's in a name," is the ques
tion am asking myself and havo
as yet been unable to answor.
Call it New Mexico to distinguish
it from Old Mexico, if you will, but
its Mexico just the same minus
many of tho good features of tho
southern country of the same name,
and it's jus't as old and evidence of
its antiquity is observable every
where. The ranch where I am visiting is
an oasis in a desert land and for
many miles beyond the confines Mi
this grant there is but little more
than desert, with the exception that
part of the mesa (table land) and
the valleys between the hills affords
fairly good grazing better than
usual this year because of more
rain fall than has been known for
many years.
The almost utter helplessness of
the people living on these ranches
becomes very apparent at times,
and this fact was demonstrated a
few evenings since when a big fire
was seen several miles across the
country. The big motor car was
taken out and a party of men from
the ranch were soon making high
speed in the direction of the fire. It
"was a wild ride and in order to
shorten the distance the regular
road was abandoned and we went
tearing over the mesa regardless of
comfort or destruction to tires. Ar
riving at the place we discovered a
corrall filled with about 20 tons of
alfalfa had been fired by a little
boy playing with matches. Nothing
could be done to save the hay, and
the fact that all tho near by build
ingwere adobe is all thatprevented
the destruction of the little oclony
of about 14 Mexican families whose
earthy possessions were few enough.
The lack of water makes.flre greatly
dreaded here.
A drive over to a little Mexican
town of Cienega gave me an oppor
tunity to observe some of the prim
itive conditions under which these
people live and some of them aro
wealthy. They live in a very fertile
valley7, and have provided their own
system of irrigation. They are rais
ing good crops and excellent fruit,
and like all of their race here, aro
living in adobe houses with the
floors of adobe, which tho more
wealthy cover with Indian rugs or
blankets. The houses are all one
story high with flat roofs. The
roofs are constructed by placing
v'egas (round timbers about 12
inches in diameter with bark pulled
off) across the adobe walls. Across
these vegas are placed pieces of
wood from two to three feet in
length which havo been chopped
out of small timber and look like
the "kindlying wood" we used to
get ready for building the morning
fire in the days of long ago. These
pieces arc laid as closely together
as posible and on tho top of them
is placed a covering of boughs of
pinyon or cedar trees. Over all of
this a coating of adobe mud about
12 inches thick is plastered, the
work being dono by hand no
trowel being used. There is just
onough slant to porm.it water to
run off, but there is little' attention
puid to possible leakage as the rains
aro not frequent. Of course after
these Iboughs and the "kindling
wood" get very dry the dry dirt
may sift down on tho furniture
(bed, table and chair) and on the
floor, but nobody cares for a little
thing like dirt. The floor of the
houses is made of tho same kind of
mud, and is usually put down, or
spread, by tho women who uso thoir
hands in doing tho work. A firo
place is constructed in a corner or
