called by Clifford Pinchot, chairman,
for Dec. s, 9 and 10 at Columbus. 1t
will be the first of it's kind ever held

Church; The Training of the Rural
Ministry; Financing the Country

The Church as a Community Cen

POMERENE DOPED
AS FLOOR LEADER

Atlee Pomerene may become the
floor leader of the Democratic majori-
ty in the United States senate at the
coming session of congress. Advices
from Washington state that the Ohio
ans consistent support to President
Wilson's measures, especially his last
one, that of national defense, makes
him favorite over both Senator'S G.
Kern and Clarke, who are said to have
shown some opposition to the defense
program.
Senator Pomerene, while in Wash
ington for the past week, has been in
conference with the president on sew
eral occasions. It is thought that
while President Wilson will seek to
dictate to the Democratic senate eau
Gus to be held Nov. 25, the elevation
Of Pomerene, nevertheless, would
please him.

BAND CONCERT DEC. IL

Sunday, Dec. IL, is a tentative date
set by the Medina band for its first
concert Of series to be given at the
Princess theater during the winter. As
was stated some weeks ago these
concerts will be given at an hour on
Sunday afternoon which will in no de-
gree conflict with regular church meet
ings and the programs will be arrang-
ed with due regard to the spirit of the
day. Indoor band concerts will be
somewhat of an innovation in Medina,
but they have been found popular else
where and we believe our people will
appreciate the efforts of the band to
provide this new form of amusement.
