Here are two pictures from life-from present
day life-1915 years after the world first knew
Christ
In the one at the left you see two RICH MEN
GOING TO TRIAL. The picture was taken
few days ago. They're charged with a con-
spiracy against the whole people of New Eng
land-a conspiracy to get unlawfully the money
of the PEOPLE.
They re two of the proudest, richest, most in
fluential and self conferred directors of the New
Haven road-a railway system that has placed
profit against the value of the human freight it
carries, railway that has sacrificed mems
wives and children for GREED.
And, AT THE RIGHT
See the picture of the POOR MAN being
dragged into one of our common municipal
courts, perhaps charged with stealing loaf of
bread that he may partially satisfy the craving
for food of his hungry little ones. Perhaps he
has even stolen few pieces of old clothing to
protect their shivering, frail little bodies from
the cold of heartless winter.
He has no cigar between his fingers, as have
the men in the other picture. He has no autumn
overcoat on his arm; he wears no such warm and
comfortable clothes
Notice, too, the look of fear on the poor

$4,000 Fire
In Strasburg

Local stockholders in the Columbia
Fire Brick Co., whose plant is located
at Strasburg, o., were surprised when
they learned that the company had
been visited by fire last Friday night
to the extent of about $4,000. In
conversation with local members of
the company we were unable to learn
the cause of the fire. Those who have
holdings in the company are w. H.
Hobart, Blake Mcdowell, Mrs. o. H.
Mcdowell and N. P. Nichols. Most of
the buildings were burned, but the
building containing an immense stor-
age of brick was untouched. The loss,
we are informed, is entirely covered
by insurance and the plant will be re-
built at once. From modest begin
ming six or seven years ago, this COM
pany has steadily increased it's bust
ness until it has become very profit
able investment for those who put
their money into it at the start. Mr..
Hobart, we understand, will visit the
scene Of the fire today.

Takes Own Life
at Age of 81

Rather than await the natural sum-
mons, which was surely near at hand,
Charles H. Warner, 81, of Bennets
Corners, took his own life at his
home last Saturday, by shooting him
self in the mouth with "22" rifle.
While the aged man gave no warn
in G of his intentions, it is believed by
members Of his family that he had
become respondent over the loss of
his wife last July, at the time of
whose death the venerable couple had
been companions for seventy years.
1t is doubtful if there is another
couple in Ohio who have lived togeth-
er so long a time.
The deceased was born in Summit
county, New York, Sept. 8, 1923, but
had resided in Hinckley township
nearly all his life.
Two children are the only surviving
members of the deceased's family
son, Willis, and daughter, Mrs. Ed
Hier, both of Bennets Corners.
The funeral was held Monday al
Bennets Corners and burial made at
the same place.

Looks Explained

That serious and reflective air
which you have noted in the faces of
some of the young hopefuls Of the
village, is not caused by reflection on
the hardness Of the times, or worry
over the outcome of the European war
No, nothing like it; but what is much
more calamitous the end of the first
school semester is due next week, and
with it the annual grind Of mid-year
examinations. So if your heir ap-
parent is temporarily inclined to be ill
at e, worried, and a little nervous,
take it from one in full authority to
speak, his sins of omission are bother
ing him trif1le, and he is not quite
sure Of his home for the next half
year. Under the half year promotion
plan in operation in the schools here,
the work is divided into half year
parts instead of year sections. This
means that if child fails on half
year, he starts right in with that same
haH at the start of the first succeed
ing semester instead of waiting till
the end of the year and then repeat
ing a year.

Death Takes
Clark Hurd

Many old friends, not only in the
community in which he had lived so
long, but scattered throughout the
county, will regret to learn of the
death of Clark Hurd, which occurred
at his home at Bennetts Corners last
Sunday, from pneumonia.
Mr.. Hurd was born at Bennetts Cor
ners, Dec. 18, 1852, and was 62 years
of age. With the exception of a year
spent in Minnesota and one in Michi-
gan, he had resided his entire life in
the town of his birth.
May 18, 1872, he wa smarried to
Josephine Olds. To the union there
were born five children, three of whom
with the widow survive. They are:
Herman of st. Louis, Ray, of Granger
and Mrs. Glen Babcock of Hinckley.
The deceased also leaves a brother,
Wilson Hurd of Estherville, Iowa, a
sister, Mrs. Martha Barton of Bruins
wick, and two grandchildren.
Mr.. Hurd had always been farmer
and it is said that he oftentimes had
expressed the belief that he had fol-
lowed the one occupation for which
nature had best fitted him.
The funeral was held at the church
at BENEFITS Corners on Wednesday,
Rev. G. H. Searles officiating. Burial
was also made at the local cemetery

Means Much
to WadsWOrth

At meeting Of Wadsworth citi-
zens and representatives from Sharon,
R;ttman, Smithville and Wooster,
called at Wadsworth Monday night to
consider the proposed street railway
question, the bond furnished by the
Cleveland, Barberton, Coshocton &
GAINESVILLE Railway Co., as surety for
their putting the line through after
money and right of way is subscribed
was read and discussed.
The bond as prepared by the COM
pany has been signed by representa-
tives from all the towns along the
proposed route except Wadsworth and
Wooster, and with residents on the
north and south of them clamoring for
the line, Wadsworth people found
themselves in difficult position.
1t was finally decided that Wads-
worth should no longer stand in the
way of seranning Aof the line
through, but that local committees or
right-of-way and money subscriptions
should begin work at once to solicit
among the business men of that vi
cinity.
Mr.. Alderfer of Sharon in short
talk, said that in this proposition, as
any big business enterprise, there
were chances to be taken, but that ii
would be risking but little with all
the chances in favor of gaining much.
There is no doubt that the line once
secured would be of enormous advan-
tage to Wadsworth people. 1t would
enable them to go to Cleveland in less
than an hour and half, and would
also make the town accessible for sur
rounding country and help local busi-
ness.

He sold his property at York and
moved to Medina about three voo.s
ago and was compelled to retire from
active business at that time. He will
be greatly missed, not only by those

DOn'tW WorryAbout
the Pond, Boys

Ever since the death of Sarah Par
ker- Huntington, that big-souled
woman, whose last thoughts were for
the welfare and pleasure of those she
must leave, there has been a great
and growing reverence. Blessed by
fortune, this woman was not forget
full of her fellowmen when she reali-
zed that the last call was about to be
made. Perhaps the most direct bene-
ficiary is the Pythian Sisters of Ohio,
who, by concerted efforts, in acced-
ing to the provisions Of the deceased's
will, have been enabled to erect a
home for aged. and helpless Pythian
Sisters on the beautiful site from the
summit of the land in the northwest
part of town.
But no greater delight perhaps may
be found over the good lady's bequest
than that item of her will in which
she provides for the enjoyment Of the
little folk Of Medina. Sophia Par
kerr Huntington never lost sight of the
immense pleasure she could bestow
upon the boys and girls of her home
town. One of the chief provisions of
her vii was that the little body Of
water which adorns the property
should be given over to the children
for skating purposes in winter time,
and che specifically directed that no
ice should be cut or sold from the
pond. What a generous bequest.
Year after year since this woman Of
the multiple soul" has gone, little
children have spent many happy
hour at the pond and glorifed the one
who made their pleasure possible. She
placed no strings upon the joy.
Lately, however, an over-zealous
supcrnumerary has sought to curtail
the rights of the little boys and girls
who find G. relaxation from school
work at the pond. His action has
been going on for the past year. This
warped individual even has sought to
prevent boys from flying kites in the
open field over which he has absolutely
no Jurisdiction.
Sunday last, after witnessing this
deluded man order little six-year-
old boy off the pond, we resolved to
contest his right. Whereupon Mon
day morning we took the pains to ex-
anime the will of Sophia Parker-Hun-
tington at the Office of the Probate
Judge, with the result that, without
going into detail, we unhesitatingly
say to the boys and girls of Medina
village that they may skate on the
pond any old day of the week that
they want to, whether it be Sunday or
otherwise. There is one provision
only to this privilege, and that is good
behavior. If when skating upon the
pond and behaving properly any one
attempts to prevent you, quietly re-
move your skates and call up the
Sentinel Office.
