csiyed from many parts OF the state,
asking as % the probable allotment
OF the state road funds in case tho
half mill levy bin carries at the No

From this resolution 1t will be seen
that the plan OF the Highway Com
mission Is 20 cxpend in each county
the money raised in that county by
means of the half mill levy. In add
tion TO this there will be available
for further division among the coun-
ties OF the state. funds which will be
received from the City and County OF
Denver. and which viii amount "a
about 100000 and also the funds
coming into the state road fund from
other sources and which IL is estima,
ed. will reach about $4,000
This statement means. therefore
that there TiIi be returned to your
county for expenditure on state road
within your county. every cent that
will be paid by tho taxpayers of your
county TO the state road fund under
the half mill levy.
Very truly yours.

CLEARING?

As a grower OF fruit with a thous-
and boxes of apples to sell and a
close observer OF the situation must
confess that things do not look as
bright as they might We know that
the markets are bad now and can
only guess what they will be in the
future. There are a few facts that
, stand out prominently in my mind
in relation to the matter. One is
that we are doing too much kicking

We have not familiarized ourselves as
We ought in other apple producing

are working to find a market for our
stuff. but are experiencing great diff

what they are doing? They are Of

prices and still there is no demand

Nearly everything is sold in bulk and

The following sketch of the life of
The late M. V. Green, is ccp'ci from
the Kent Ccrrer, to watcl we are
also indebted for the use of the illus
tration:
M. V. Green died at 3 a. M, Thurs
day at Medina where he and Mrs.
Green had been living since last
spring. After their terrible exper-
ience in the Dayton food Mr.. Green
suffered in health. During the win
ter e grew more nervous and the
coming anniversary of the food filed
him with a dread of it's repetition.
AS a result, they went to Medina,
lack among old home friends, Mr..
Green being a native Of Sharon and
Mrs. Green, Of Medina, they being
married 81 years ago June /, last in
that town.
Quiet and rect was obtained, but
permanent help was not to be had.
For weeks past Mr.. Green had been
living over the old days of railroad
ing, calling in delirium for the men Of
A. & G. W. days, men with whom he
had associated back fifty years ago.
For eight days past he had been un-
conscious and for forty-eight hours
he lay motionless, the end coming
peacefully, much like his life, for in
spite of the activities of railroading,
Mr.. Green kept his nerve and self
control. He was loved by the men
with whom he worked and possessed
the respect and goodwill of the COM
pany. "Mat" Green was good rail
road man, a good citizen and friend.
Mr.. Green had rounded out over 46

Note Who Reads

Unless you are acquainted with the
man who reads your gas or electric

An imposter has entered at least
two homes in Medina the past week
or two-those of I. H. Kennedy and
Mrs. Stowe on North Court street,
although it appears they left without
taking anything. The regular rep
resentative of the company is we'll
known to us all. Any stranger who
seeks entrance should be promptly
turned down and the company COM

Cases of this kind are frequent in
the cities and larger communities
and many robberies are in It's wcy

this is the first time anything of this
kind has happened in Medina.

Schools Honor
National Hymn

Patriotism was the keynote of the
exercises of the Medina public
schools Monday morning at 9 O'Clock
when the "Star Spangled Banner
was sung in the various rooms by the
pupils. An interesting program, con-
nccted with the writing of the ma
Sional hymn was carried out. Mon

sary of the writing of the song by
Francis Scott Key in Baltimore.
The teachers and pupils of the
schools entered into the spirit of the
occasion in the morning program. In
most of the rooms, a program was
carried out consisting of readings,
songs, recitations, and short talks.
The exercises were held in re-
sponse to a suggestion from State
Supt. of schools Frank w. Miller.
A salute was given to the American
flag by the pupils as follows: II give
my head and my heart to God and
my. Country. One country, one Ian
guage, one flag"
The program included the reading
of Secretary of the Interior Franklin
W. Lanes address, Makers of the
Flag" delivered before the employees
of the department of the interior this
year; Henry Ward Beecher's "The
Meaning of Our Flag" W. D. Mes
