PRINTING FOR FARMERS

Every farmer who owns his farm
ought to have printed stationery, with
his name, the name of his postoffice
properly given. The printed heading
also might give the names of what
ever crops he specializes in, or his
specialties in stock. Neatly printed
stationery gives you a personality and
standing with any person or firm to
whom you write and insures theprop-
er reading of your name and address.
If you wish to write to your con-
gressman or a member Of the legisla-
ture, or if you have a request to make
of your county school superintendent,
or if you wish information from any
business house, in any case, your let
ter will have increased weight and
receive more and quicker attention if
you use printed stationery.
Get the habit. Come into the Senti-
mel Office and have us print you 500
sheets Of good paper with envelopes
to match. It will be one of the best
investments you ever made.

HATCH PULLETS EARLY

If the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are certain
to bring next fall and winter, he
should begin to get ready for them at
once, say the poultry specialists. The
way to- have eggs late in the fall is
to hatch pullets early. 1t is the early
matches from which the early pullets
are derived that are the largest mon
ey makers for the poultry producers.
The early hatched cockereIs can be
marketed in almost any market in
America when they attain a weight
of three-fourths of pound to one or
one and one-half pounds each, which
they should do at about to 10 weeks
of age, respectively, at a greater pro-
fit to the producer than at any other
times of their lives. The early hatch
ed pullets, if properly grown, should
begin to lay in the fall at the time
when eggs are scarce and high in
price. o.

Our !, valued correspondent from
Brunswick has sent US the following
poem, clipped from an old scrap book,
which commentaries an episode. in
the sportive life Of the county and
which is most interesting to read. 1t
was composed by an aged Medina lady
who signed rs. A." but whose identi-
ty is now unknown. Probably very
few, if any, are living here now who
participated in the famous event. For
the benefit of those of our readers who
may never before heard of this "great
sleigh-ride party" we will preface the
poem with a few lines of descriptive
matter as given in history of Medi-
ma county.
The party came about through the
premium of flag offered by the Me-
dina County Agricultural Association
for the largest delegation to the fair
the previous year. The flag was un-
ique. 1t was small, made Of cotton,
emblazoned with a device consisting of
a jolly-looking human face with the
thumb on nose, which, as interpreted,
meant, "Take me. if you cam : The
flag was awarded to the Summit coun-
ty delegation. The original and his
toric value Of this flag is connected
with one Of the greatest sleigh-rides
ever known in Medina county.
In 1856, there was an unprecedent-
ed amount of sleighing, and some time
in February Of that year the people
of Solon township of Cuyahoga coun-
ty got up a sleighing party consisting
of seven four-horse teams, and among
other decorations carrying the flag in
question. The people Of Twinsburg
Summit county, through which the
Solon party passed, made UP their
minds to go to Scion and take the
flag. They harnessed up fourteen
four-horse teams, went to Solon and
brought the flag home. Royalton then
rallied 38 four-horse teams and took
back the flag, and thus it travelled
from one township to another, with an

The pupils of the grammar grades
Of Granger Centralized. schools gave a
fine general entertainment in the high
school auditorium on Friday night,
Jan. 20. The program consisted Of
declamations, songs, and farce en-
titled '"The Headless Horseman,"
founded upon Irving's Legend Of
Sleepy Hollow" All the exercises
were carefully prepared and showed
that Granger has a fine array of lit
erary and musical talent among it's
young people. Behind all the exer-
cises could be felt the fine work Of
Miss Edith Reed, the efficient gram
mar grade teacher. County Superin-
tendent C. E. jerks was present and
made a brief address complimenting
the Granger people upon their fine
schools and fine educational sentiment.
Deputy Inspector O'Brien of the In
dustrial Commission inspected the
Normal property in Wadsworth on
SATURDAY. He found the foundation,
walls, floors and roof of the building
in excellent condition. With the in
stallation of new heating system
and two fire escapes together with a
few other minor changes the building
will be in fine condition to use for
school purposes, which the board plans
to do the coming year. Like other
persons who have looked over the
property, Mr.. O'Brien remarked on
the fine environment Of the building
and said that Wadsworth township
was very fortunate in having SO good
a building and grounds and that the
people Of thetownship could make no
mistake in centralizing their schools.
In the inter-township spelling con-
test held in Sharon on Saturday, the
results were as follows:
Granger Township-Grace Scud-
der, SO; Mary Baxter, 78.
Sharon Township--Burke Woodward,
IS; Bernice Meek, "a.
Wadsworth Township-Eunice Mills
Sc; Nina Minnich, 90.
County Supt jerks made out the
fist Of words for the contest. The
list was very fair, consisting of prac-
tical, everyday words. The Sharon
contestants showed fine spirit when
they cheered heartily when Wads-
worth won. We may often gain
glory in defeat.
Eunice Mills and Hilma Minnich as
representatives Of the Eastern Dis
trict are willing to meet representa-
tives from the sixth grade in any ol
all districts Of Medina county.
