Sixth Grade.
In the sixth grade much stress
is to be laid upon better writing
and upon rapid addition.

cement floor in the basement while
.. playing the last week and became
unconscious Robert Hufford, by
Nt. sudden movement of the foot,
broke a bone in it. Neither of
these two have lost any time from
school.
Notwithstanding the storms and
cold our attendance is good.
Fifth Grade.
Florence Bowers has entered the
fifth grade. She attended Clay
" Center school before moving to
Perrysburg.
The. stormy and cold weather has
caused much sickness among our
people.

and Elsie Lee Master have re
turned. Julius Witzler is absent, having
-the mumps.
The .children will each outline
two sewing cards, a seal and an

farms. Registered Jerseys and
Holsteins will be boucrht and as

these will be taken to the County
Fair, where they will be exhibited
ior premiums.
It is the intention to ask the
banks to loan money to boys and
cirls in order to start the' move
ment, and then the heifers will be
put up tor sale at an auction dur
ing the Fair. It is assured that
the heifers will find a ready sale
at a price considerably greater
man the purchase price, and the
bovs will have the onnnrtiinitv tn
bid in their heifers, or else sell
mem ana get the increase over the
cost, thus allowincr them to nav
off the note at the bank.
Nothing is a greater stimulus to
better live-stock than these "Rnv
and Girls Calf Clubs, and nothing
will work better to keep the boys
on the iarms tlian to giv,e them a
share of the best that the farm
produces.

UNSATISFACTORY SEED
CORN.
Government Will Provide Certified
Seed at Cost.
Repeated tests on the germina
tion of seed corn at the Ohio State
University College of Agriculture
show that the corn is germinating
but from 1 to 60 per cent. Most
of the corn is testing but 10 p'er
cent. As the result of the serious
ness of this situation, t.ho Arvrimil.
lural College Extension Service is
sending out representatives to se
cure options on corn of known
quality. The corn will be pur
chased with mnimv nrrvn-irln1 V.-.-
L"ongress and will behold to the
rarmers at cost.
Beginning the week of January
28, rural teachers all over the .state
were making tests of the seed corn
in their districts. It is expected
that these tests j,will verify the re
sults' already obtained, and will
indicate where the most acute
shortage is to be found.
Persons having supplies of good
seed corn for sale are urged to ad
vertise it in their local papers as
well as vfarm papers, and. to com
municate witli the Agricultural
College Extension Service, Colum

OBSERVATIONS. -
Thrift made Prank A. Vander
lip, the farmer and machinist, head
of the greatest and richest bank in
the United States. While he
plowed or stood at the lathe he
saved his wages, studied at night
and rose in life. Listen to his well
considered words:
1 '-There is not one of us who
could not cut down his expenses to
a standard. We can all save and
as it gets into our souls and we be
gin to understand what this war
means and how .our personal re
sponsibilities should be felt, we
will havoji unity of purpose that
will sweep" us on to victory. Let
us buy Thrift Stamps with the
quarters that we are able to save
every day and every week out of
our regular expenses. If we all do
this,' the 25-cent pieces rattling
jnto the treasury will make & noise
that will bo heard at the Branden
berg Gates in Berlin, and it -will be
a very discouraging sound to the
Germans."

Mirror of Camp Life in a Soldier's
Letters Home.
A drafted soldier's lettfers, which
appear in the February Peonlo's
Home Journal, gives an excellent
picture of camp life.
To begin-with, let mc sav with
all the emphasis I possess don't
worry I JTonr son will work as he
never worked before. He'll lead a
life that is strenuous to the last de
gree: but he'll be watched, over
and pampered as you never pam
pered him. Yes, I mean just that."
bpeaking of what camp life has
done for him, the young man
writes :
"It takes a long while to make
a good soldier, but t is surprising.
now ijuiuuiy me average junen
can learns. After I had been in
camp two months I was known as
the strongest man in the company.
I worked in a bank before I was
drafted. I was not sickly, but soft.
1 seldom got any outdoor exercise.
Mowing thelawn almost broke my
back. Today I earry on my back
a light marching pack of fifty-five
pounds or a heavy pack of seventy
pounds, i and never give it a
though! In addition to this load,
I tote a 8.45-pound rifle also, fre
quently a pick or shovel, and carry
the whole thing from ten to fifteen
miles at a stretch.
"I used to dread getting into a
row for fear some one bigger than
I would knock me into the middle'
of next week. Recently I had a
friendly boxing bout with a cor
poral, who was once a riveter on
the steel? structure of skyscrapers.
He knocked me down twice. Then
I got mad and scrambling to my
feet I knocked him cold.
"Mother had a fit when I wrofa
her about it; but when she told the
minister he chuckled. To mother's
surprise, he remarked, 'That boy
must be getting along I didn't
think he had it in him I' He knew
what I know. We must leam to

M. C. GRIFFIN.
Among the many Toledo busi
ness men who make regular calls
on Perrysburg trade, none are bet
ter or more favorably knoAvn than
Mr. M. C. Griffin, 730 Broadway
Place, who formerly resided in
Perrysburg.
For three years Mr. Griffin ,was
connected with the water works
department of Toledo, and for
eight years he was with the Toledo
Railways and Light Company at
the Water street power house,
later traveling as an erecting engi
neer for several years.
For the past five years he has
been in business for himself, 'rep
resenting the Willey electrically
droven. tools and Ilg electric ven
tilating fans and blowers,, and the
Patteflon hot water heaters,
pumps and motors.
His x motto is reliability and
loyalty and with hi3 natural abil
ity as a salesman coupled with his
thorough knowledge of the needs
of Jho trade, has enabled him to
prove the merits of his goods and
establish a line of business that is
alike creditable to him as a dealer
and salesman,

Bond Buying an Impetus to the
Saving Spirit.
One of the most rrntifvin- m.
suits of the Libertv Lnnn mm.
paigns to date is the impetus the
saving spirit is gaming with the
people in general. Most purchas
ers of Liberty Bonds arc paying
mi uium out oi tneir everyday
earnings. Comparatively few have
gone into their savings accounts to(
meet their payments.
This is what the government
most desires.
Savings banks generally
throughout the countrv tho. nst
year showed an increase in sav
ings deposits despite the fact that
something, near six billions of dol
lars worth of Libertj Bonds had
been purchased.
This same condition was ex
perienced in England. For in
stance in 1916. although nnrnhns-
ing billions of dollars worth of war
uonds, the small savings bank de
positors increased their deposits
more than $60,000,000. And- the
Englishman as a rule is notably
profligate.
The English are making their
war bonds permanent investments.
America will do well to follow
thoir example.
But every man whosells a bond
discourages this plan. And every
merchant who accepts a Liberty
Bond in exchange for merchan
dise, or in payment of an account,
adds to this discouragement many
fold.
Moreover they are digging a
pitfall in Uncle Sam's financial
path by depressing the market
value of the, bonds and making it
more difficult for him to dispose
of succeeding issues.
So if you would help Uncle Sam
rather than the Kaiser :
Don't throw jour bond on the
market.
Don't accept a bond on account.

Soon Over His Cold.
Everyone speaks well of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy after having
used it. Mrs. George LewsJ Pittsfield,
N. Y., has this to. say regarding it:
"Last winter my little boy, five years
old, was sick with a cold for two or
three weeks. I doctored him and used
various cough medicines but nothing
did him much good until I began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He
then improved rapidly and in a few
days was over his cold."

THE SERVICE FLAG.
The day my daddy went away,
Among the flags that float and
blow .
Outside our windows, there ap
peared A banner that I did not know.
A scarlet flag, with bar of white,
On which one emblem stood
alone ;
'Twas notr an English flag, nor
French,
Nor did it seem to be our own.
Perched on the nursery window
seat, I watched it flutter in the breeze,
And when I heard my mother's
step,
I asked her to explain it please.
And mother winked some tears
away,
And laughed (it's queer how
mothers are !) .
"Why, son!"- she said, "you'
didn't know?
That represents our shooting
star!"

Prefers Chamberlain's.
"In the course of a conversation
with Chamberlain Medicine Co.'s rep
resentative today, we had occasion to
discuss in a general way the merits of
their different preparations. At hi3
suggestion I take pleasure in express
ing my estimation of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I have a family of
six children and have used this remedy
in my home for vears. I consider it
.the only cough remedy on the market,
as I have tried nearly all kinds." Earl
