Gold is valuable because it is not easily found; jewels are pre- cious because they are rare; violets are loved because they modestly conceal themselves. Girls loose half their charms be- cause they are seen on the streets so much, and are found promiscously mingling in all sorts of publis assemblages. They should study the principles that make the ruby precious and the violets dear.-EX.

On Tuesday afternoon Probate Judge

nesses and the expressed opinions Of
Drs. Strong and Robinson, found Ern.
est Barnett to be insane and directed
that he be removed to the state hos.
.pital at Massillon.

relatives, including brothers and sis
ters, living in the county. Until about
two weeks ago he had not been around
here for a number of years. He adj
mits being a wanderer. During his
recent sojourn in the village he has
divided his time between playing a
harmonica and soaring his relatives
and others by his queer actions and
occasional threats Of violence. He
was arrested by Marshall Gates Fri
day afternoon on the N. 0. tracks
west of town and lodged in the Jail,
While in Jail he disrobed and paraded
about, but gave no reason for doing
SO. He claimed to have received a
musical degree from a well-known con
servatory in recognition of his won-
derful talent as an instrumentalist.

sTRIcKEN WITH TYPHOID

Miss Ruth Hewitt, one of the prin-

company, which ended weeks en-
gagement here Saturday night, was
so i'll Sunday morning that it became
necessary to remove her from the
home where she had been stopping
while in town to the street car in an am
bulance when the company left here
Sunday morning. Miss Hewitt com
planned of being i'll as early as We'd
nesday, but against the advice of her
friends continued her work to the end
of the engagement. DR.. Gleason, her
physician, diagnosed the disease as
typhoid, and advised her immediate re-
moval to the home Of her parents in
Altoona, Pa, wiring the latter on what
train Miss Hewitt would arrive. The
latter left here at / o'clock p. M. and
was due to leave Cleveland at a o.
clock. She was unable to sit up when
leaving Medina. Miss Hewitt is a
talented actress, having played lead
ing roles with the Metropolitan stock

DEBATE NECESSITY
OF WEIGHT SEALER

At meeting of the county commits
sioners this week the question of con-
tinuing the office Of Deputy Sealer of
Weights and Measures was discussed.
While nothing definite was decided, it
is likely that the salary of $85 per
month will be reduced to $50, altho'
the commissioners will be forced to
seek another deputy as Mr.. John Damn
ley, the present incumbent, will go out
of office Oct. 18, and will refuse to
accept denomination.
The Office Of Sealer Of Weights and
Measures entails an expense to tax
payers, who off-hand might believe
could easily be dispensed with, altho'
an investigation will disclose the fact
that scales and measures of much bet
ter class are in service now than would
otherwise obtain. 1t is not question
of the honesty or dishonesty of the.
dealer, for many are unaware, until
shown, that their scales and measures
are defective.
To quote an example:
A short time ago prominent gro
GER in the north end of town had
scale tested, which proved to be badly
out of order and was accordingly con-
demned and condemnation seal was
placed thereon. Upon the grocer's
plea and promise that the scale would
be Immediately put out of commission
and returned to the manufacturer, the
matter was dropped. Later when in
a different part of the county the depu
ty was called upon by lady to test
her scales and found them to be the
same ones-minus the tag-previous-
ly condemned at Medina. While the
deputy proceeded to do away with the
offending article, the lady endeavored
to regain her SIS paid for it.
AS there is a heavy penalty for
removing a seal from condemned
scale, we would ask, if we dared, how
this elusive seal got lost and how the
matter was finally smoothed over.
