Nearby is a French hospital for tubercular .soldiers, many o f whom were gassed! We have received some splendid gas instructions and we all have our American gas masks. Wfe American soldiers have by far the finest equipment and such good food. For instance we have nice .beefsteak •ahd gravy, fried potatoes, bread and ■coffee for breakfast. They have just brought my dinner of roast beef* gravy; mashed potatoes and white bread, For supper we have beef stew, tomatoes, macaroni, hot biscuits, apple or prune pie and frequently stewed prunes or apple sauce.

We expect to receive our mail quite regular- from now on. • We are getting some splendid work, holding two classes each day, and the work grows more interesting.

The election on Tuesday brings forth ,a young man who seems destined to take a high place in the affairs/ of state. We refer to Prof. Ralph, O. Wead, who was .nominated for auditor on the Republican ticket, which is considered the equivalent of an election. The career of Mr, Wead has- been one of constant progress. Step by step he has mounted the ladder o f ’ success, and is still a young man. The story of his life runs as^fol- ' lows: “He is 37 years of age^was horn, has always lived} was married, and is rearing his family in Greene county. He lived his boyhood years in Spring Valley township and in Xenia City. From a youth he was ambitious for an education, and early in life discovered that i f he were to have one he must pay fo r it by his own labor. During school years he worked as a "Gazette" carrier boy, and during college vaca­ tions in the Fuse Factory, the Xenia - Shoe Factory as a clerk, and as a hrakeman on a construction tram ,... >3 He was graduated from the Xenia High School in 1899; completed a . course in Xenia Business College Night School in 1899; taught school in Ce- darville township in 1901 -02gradu- H ated from Antioch College in 1904; principal o f ' Sugarareek Township High School in 1904-05; post-graduate . student at Ohio’State University sum­ mers of 1910-14; elected, superinten- . dent of the Yellow Springs schools in ’ 1905,’ which position he has occupied fo r thirteen years, and was re-elected last spring for a term of three years. During' the summer of 1915, in con- : nection with Paul W. Weiss, he pur­ chased the general merchandise bust- ness of J, H. Birasfanffsince that tfJHfe ', he has been associated in the firm, known as Weiss & Wead, o f Yellow: : Springs, Ohio. Early in life he united with the First • Presbyterian Church of the city of | Xenia, which membership he trans­ ferred to the Presbyterian Church o f ■. Yellow Springs when this village be­ came his home. He is a member and Past Master o f the Order o f Free and Accepted Masons, a member and Past Grand of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Efficiency is a mania with Mr. Wead. It is one of the qualifications by which he has surmounted the obstacles in hts , pathway. When he took hold of our schoolB they were not in a prosperous or flourishing condition.; Now they rank high, and last year thirty-one graduates were in the commencement class, and State School Superintendent F, B. Pearson, speaking at the com­ mencement, declared such a thing could not be duplicated in-the state of Ohio in a community o f our size. Two years ago Mr. Wead ran for clerk of courts. His campaign Was ; conducted single-handed and alone, as , he haS fought ill his battles o f life. He was the creature of no organiza­ tion. His campaign was clean and ag­ gressive, but he lost. He Was not dis­ couraged, hut set about to find out where he had failfid. This year he looked over the field and decided to run for auditor, as he thought the of­ fice offered him wider opportunities fo r his talents and that his qualifica­ tions and past record would recom­ mend him -as worthy of public trust. ^ , « . . . ................. .-.-Y. 9 A ! . . . 1 a V* m #•rt J L . a n u u ' ZZXsu*..: a « js _ oMhe'bonds, ^h^tmiron^had6! right | F i i r ^ s ' S t o m a ’S » 3fca$ Camp ' Sherman.
