1t is hoped that the hoodoo which
has visited Medina ON the last two
Fourths Of July will be absent this
year On July A, 1918, three people

instantly killed during a ball game on

At a meeting of the Board OF
Education held this week the teachers

At their meeting Tuesday the Toad
commissioners authorized the build
ing of a mile of road beginning two
and one-half miles southeast OF Medl-

along the line of the new road have
agreed to do the grading and get
everything in readiness for the stone.
When AL. Young and Rob. Nc
Dowell started out Thursday morning
with an auto full of literature to ad-
vertise the big Fourth Of July cele-
bration in Medina some one had the
termerity to say that they would make
a bee line for Rockport to attend the
races. How preposterous to think OF
such a thing.

ganized at the Methodist parsonage a

Return made by the district asses
sors are all in and will be published
by districts next week providing they
have been tabulated by that time.
The total this year bids fair to ex-
ceed last year. Many cases are noted
a money return was ryade
last year and the same return made
this year plus an automobile.
Before you go camping, or away
on voyage, prepare some waterproof
matches and see that they are always
at hand. In small tin vessel melt
some paraffin, and, while it is still hot
dip the end of each match into this
and lay it out carefully until cool and
dry. The coating Of parafin makes
the match absolutely waterproof.
The baseball game between
Medina and the X. & w. team Of Cleve
land last Saturday was won by the
visiting team by the score of 5 to 3.
The Cleveland team annexed all their
runs during the first three innings
when they smacked Huston's offerings
to every corner of the lot. Kaufman
was then sent to the mound and held
the visitors scoreless.

boxes Of matches that were thrown on
