SOME OBSERVATIONS NEW BUSINESS PROJECT THEM HAPPY Concerning Nothing Very Serious Proposals for Organization of Grain Company for Perrys burg. A Little Money Will Bring Much Joy to Poor Children. But Worthy of Thought.

The Perrysburg basket-ball season commenced on Friday evening, December 17, when the town team played the Trinity Church Five and the High School met the Scott Maroons. The teams playing alternate halves. The town team played a good, fast game, and was represented by Cole, "Williams, Kopp, Thomas, Speck, and (in the second half) Hallowell. The Trinity Church team was defeated with a 42 to 18 score. "Williams demonstrated a handy way of securing baskets, simply reaching ip and placing the ball in from the top.

The High School team consisted of Veitch, Schuster, Buddt, Comp-ton and Finkbeiner, Hallowell playing center for Buddt in the second half. The Maroons had an advantage of a little more weight and an extra tall center. It was a good clean game on both sides. Compton and Hallowell each shot one field goal in the second half and Schuster secured four fouls. The final score was 13 to 8 in favor of the Maroons.

The team is in good shape and with a little more practice will prove itself worthy to uphold the standard of P. H. S.

Some people complain about the high cost of Christmas when a little less money and a lot more love would solve the problem nicely. The farmers' harvest days are over, but the shrewd business man is just preparing to reap the first crop of a returning prosperity, and the first step is to sow the seeds of publicity. There is no time like the present. Begin today. The Blade's Limericks were read with much pleasure by those who have a peculiar taste for amusement.

The spasm seems to have run over and a reader sent one to us. It's rather thin, but well, here 'tis There was a young girl named Mary (Not the one who was always contrary) Had a new gown of green, Made of thin, silken sheen, And there was very much seen of Mary. Will somebody please hide the sun? Why does mother carefully save the greese from the Christmas goose? To be PREPARED for colds that might come during the winter. The most effective American peace ships would be several dreadnaughts, destroyers, cruisers and submarines of the highest type. Only two more days before little Hankey will yank those soldiers out of the trenches and read to them the 57th variety of Ford peace.

Building a railroad crossing over Louisiana Ave. in Perrysburg is no Santa Claus dream, as is well known by Village Clerk J. W. Lyon, who conducted 'thenegotia-tions with the railway officials. But the crossing arrived and is now all right.

Thanks "Sammy." Word from over the sea indi cates that Ford's peace party is not meeting with friendly reception. Judge Ben Lindsay has advised Henry to give it up anl turn his attention to finding homes for war orphans, but the Ford says "nix." Already the expedition has cost $125,000 and the financial manager estimates it will reach the $500,000, but what does Henry care, so long as the factory runs. COAL TO BURN.

Home merchants are ready to supply your every want. The real town booster is the man who never spends a cent out of town. STUDY the HOME PAPER for BARGAINS THE ROAD TO WEALTH Is the Practice of Economy and Careful Saving. As the year is rapidly drawing to a close the question arises, "Where is the money earned dur-r ing the past year and what have; we to show for our year's labor?" Are we progressing and making gains over the year previous? If not, why Whether or not we believe in Preparedness for War, we must believe in preparing for approaching age. The man who has only his daily wage, cannot afford to permit a pay day to pass without laying aside a portion (much or little) of his earnings for the future.

On every hand there are examples of the necessity for such action. Many of the wealthiest men of tho world have laid the foundations for their fortunes by close economy and careful saving. The greatest and most powerful institutions of the day the Banks are constantly warning the people of the necessity for saving, and these institutions throughout the entire country make special effort to accommodate all classes, of people from the child who will save a penny a week, or any amount by any person and will gladly assist in building up a fund that may be the making of a successful citizen later on. Of course it is business for the banks but it is also the very best business in which any person can engage and we deem it a duty to call the attention of our readers to the great necessity for such econ omy and saving, and the splendid opportunity offered by our village banks for the care of such deposits. The boy or girl, the man or woman, who starts a saving account not only builds up a safe deposit for future, but builds up character as well.

THIS OMJEST DANK IN WOOD COUNTY Just after the Journal had gone to press last Wednesday night the following letter was received Dear Mr. Blue: In reading the Perrysburg Journal of last week, I noted your appeal for funds for your Santa Claus Club, and I am enclosing you herewith my check for $10.00, which I will be pleased to have you apply in this direction.

I sincerely hope that the committee having this worthy work in charge, may have sufficient funds to enable them to make the children, to whom they intend making gifts, a very jolly and merry Xmas. Yours very truly, WM. S. WALBRIDGE. This contribution comes from another man who never forgets and never fails to do a kind act wherever and whenever possible.

Mrs. R. C. Pew's check for $5, and J. F.

Brandhuber's for SI, together with Mr. Goodman's SI. makes a total of S17 received at the Journal office. The contributions dropped in the boxes at tho banks cannot be listed to the donorsjjas we do not know their names, although we would be pleased to add them to the list. To all of these in behalf of the children we return thanks There is need of more money and the club could also make use of good second hand clothing for adults as well as children, as there are many places where circumstances have caused great need for warm clothing.

Any person desiring to receive or give information relative to the service being rendered by the little band of workers may phono the 'Journal and their questions will be promptly answered and their assistance arid information thankfully received. We don't wish to annoy the public Avith importunities for help for these unfortunates, but it should be remembered that I Christmas Avithout a Santa Claus is a dreary, lonesome day. A stocking that is empty don't contain much cheer. A child's heart is easily made joyful And Avhoever contributes to the happiness of an unfortunate little one is only making a payment on a star for his oavu croAvn; so "Will there be any stars in YOUR CroAvn?"
