Risks Life to
Save Child

Risking his own life, Charles hunk
Ter, snatched 4-year-old Lois Shelly
from death under an on-rushing ex-
press train at the Erie depot at Wads-
worth, Tuesday.
Little Lois, the daughter Of Rev.
w. S. Shelly Of the Mennonite church.
had been sent to the store across the
tracks from her home. When she
came to the crossing she started to
cross while the fast express was rush
ing along not many hundred feet
away. Pete Vosco, the watchman
shouted an excited warning to her
but she did not heed it.
She might have reached the Other
side in time but sudden terror al
sight Of the big monster fastening tx
overwhelm her caused her to hesitate
She stumbled and fell directly in the
path Of the train.
Witnesses Of the scene thought al
was over when Kunkler, who wal
standing nearby, made dash for thu
child and dragged her over the raj
just as the engine roared past. Th'
two were not more than a foot ava!
as it reached the spot. The engineel
thought they had been struck ant
stopped the train after it had gon'
only short distance. A pail whicl
the little girl was carrying was knock
ed from her hand by the engine, 81
close was her escape.
The child was badly frightened an'
cried heartily on her way home.
| Kunkler is a section foreman on tn
Erie road.

SMALLPOX SCARCE IN MEDINA

The smallpox scare which threaten
ed to turn the Sentinel office into a
pest house with the entire force as in
mates, proved to be nothing but n
"scare." Friday night Geo. M. Den
ton, editor Of the Sentinel called in q
local physician who pronounced symp-
toms that favored of smallpox and
by Saturday night the town was in
state Of excitement such as has not
been occasioned for some time.
1t is a question as to whether or not
the health officer was guilty Of a
breach of confidence in giving out
the case as smallpox, when informed
by theattending physician that symp-
toms of that disease existed although
he was unable to pronounce it as such.
However, members of the Sentinel
tour department were caught in their
rooms on Saturday night and whole
sale vaccination was in order. Sum
day they, with another roomer, were
asked to find other quarters for the
time being; and as no other rooms
were open to them, they were forced
/ to return to Cleveland until Tuesday.
On Monday the Smallpox" turned
out to be an attack of la grippe and
although still confined to the house
the patient is "out of danger"
The three cases in the Humphrey
family has proved to be not of mali
gnant type, and, unless unlocked for
complications set in the three are out
of danger.
One or two other families have been
reported as being under quarantine,
all of which is without foundation.
The schools which have been closed
the past ten days will probably re-
main closed until Feb. 2S, although
the board may see fit to open them
sooner if quarantine is lifted.
Monday is the Today limit since ex-
posure and If no new cases develop
the quarantine will be lifted: The
churches will be closed another Sum
day and the moving picture theates
also remains closed.

They are certain to be heard from
later and some of them may ere long
assume the lead in the race. How
ever, it is not too late for new candi-
dates, and the young lady who enters
now with a determination to win will
find that many will rally to her sup
port.
A question has arisen during the
past week which the Tour Manager
will answer in general way. In res
ponse to the query as to whether a
contestant is confined to her own dis
trict in the conquest for votes, the in
quirer is referred to the printed rules,
which state that votes may be secured
by contestant in any of the three
districts or anywhere on earth.
The Square Deal
This is eminently proper and the
Sentinel is prepared to show that the
methods being pursued are entirely
impartial and fair to each contestant
and that such fairness is to be continu
ed until the contest ends. This enter
prise was not begun nor is it being
carried on in any haphazard manner.
Every detail is elaborately planned to
safeguard the interests Of every con-
testant and which broad experience in
other fields has demonstrated to be the
best ever devised for the purpose. The
manager of the Tour Department is
not new in the business, but has con-
Quoted many similar contests for other
newspapers in manner that has Sc
cured their hearty approval and no
charge of partiality or unfairness has
ever followed his work.
Opportunity Knocks But Once
One Of the chief regrets in life is
the realization that a bright and shin
ing opportunity has been neglected
The magic letters "San Francisco" and
"The Golden West" spell to the young
ladies Of Medina and vicinity the WORD
opportunity" and Education" anG
who will say it is not a bright one

Dine at Leroy

The Medina Comfy Schoolmasters
Club held its second meeting of the
year at Ye Tavern in Leroy, Friday
evening, Feb. s. Owing to inclement
weather, high water, and the small
pox scare at Medina only small num-
ber of pedagogues attended. How
ever, whatever was lacking in number
was more than made up in enthusiasm,
and when Prof. Elliott Of Wadsworth
woke up the genial landlord, Bert
Warner and told him it was time to
turn off the lights, it was three a. m.
The menu was up to the usual high
standard set by the tavern, and to
name all the good things spread before
the guests who assembled in the beau
tiful new dining room, would be to
give catalogue of all the good things
edible at this season. Of course the
piece de resistance of the spread con-
sisted of fried chicken, Tavern style,
and only the initiated know just what
that means; but to those who have
been there that description is enough.
Judge McSweeney Of Wooster was
tn guest of the evening and kept
things lively with interesting annec-
dotes of his wide experinces in various
quarters of the globe. His address,
which dealt with the teacher and his
work was a splendid effort, and af-
forded a new inspiration to better
efforts for all present.
Supt Elliott of Wadsworth presided
at the meeting, introducing the vari-
GUS speakers with appropriate re-
marks.
The time Of the next meeting has
not been set, but it will doubtless
take place some time in April.

sary to win the prize. "Now, see here"
said one contestant the other day, IT
have chosen you for my chaperone for
l want you to have the benefit Of the
trip with me, but you have got to work
and good and hard too. Between the
two of us, we can pull that first place
down out of the tree and WE SIMPLY
MUST DO 1T. You take some SUBJ
scription blanks and we will begin
right away and gather in all of the
votes that we can get from the people
who do take the Sentinel. When we
get them rounded up, we will start
right after new subscriptions. That
is the right kind of talk that counts
and it is the kind of talk backed by in
telligent action that wins the trips and
if that girl does not win one of the
trips. I will miss my guess.
Get Nominations in Early and Begin
to Work
The time is now to get all your
nominations in the hands Of the Con-
test Manager and you better not de.
lay about it. Remember, you are en-.
titled to three nominations counting
500 each, or 1,500 all told. Once youl
nominations are in his hands, then gel
busy among your friends and get the
promises you can until your supplies
arrive and then get busy and stay
busy from the start. That is the way
to win one Of these trips and when il
is all over and you take the trip, yoy
will say, II am glad that I went in.

HOW TO GET BIG CORN CROPS

Farmers who are raising less than
50 bushels of corn per acre lack the
American money-making instinct, are
losing sight Of big profit possibilities
and are not even paying the interest
on their investment, taxes, power,
labor and overhead charges. That is
what Prof. G. I. Christie Of the Pur-
due agricultural experiment station
Of Indiana charges in a report issued
by the Middle West Soil Improvement
committee.
The soil expert sounds a warning
and sets forth how millions Of cellars
can be put into the savings banks Of
the country to the credit of American
farmers.
The American farmer, believes Pro-
fessor Christie, needs to take les
son from the American manufacturers.
The former must learn to relate his
costs Of production, his overhead, his
various running expenses to the re-
turns on his land
"Raise one 80 bushel crop Of corn
and you make more money than by
raising three As bushel crops" de-
clares the Purdue man. FIXED charges
are no higher on large yields, while
the cost of extra labor, fertility and
care necessary to produce big crops,
are but slightly greater. The cost
per bushel decreases as yields in
crease. Normally, large yields stand
for quality corn which brings the
top price at the elevator and produces
maximum grains when fed"
The secret Of 80 to 100 bushels Of
corn an acre, as some farmers are
now getting, and which all can get
is soil fertilization. Manure, supple.
mented by suitable fertilizers, usec
plentifully in the spring, is the secret
Of big, profitable corn yields.

2portunity Knocks But
Z Once; Grasp It Now

When that solid Pullman train steams
out of Cleveland bound for the
wonders of the Golden West, will you
be a member of the merry party or
will you be one Of those left behind,
con~umed with regrets over another
wasted opportunity? Hesitate no
longer; make up your mind and try
for one Of these splendid prizes.
Decide today and then get busy
gathering in the votes. Deliberation,
decision, energetic efforts and stick-to
itiveness are the qualities that will
win honors, and you may grasp them
if you try.
Now is the time for you to make
the start. A few subscriptions from
your friends will place your name
among the leaders, for the contest is
young and the reward is health giving
pleasure and the educational advanta-
ges are great, even out of all proper
tion to the effort required to secure
the honor. Other ladies are going
after this great privilege, and are
busy rounding up the easily-obtained
subscription votes. Better see your
friends in your own behalf before
other contestants have gotten the pro-
mise of their support. The sun shines
brightly for those ladies who display
energy and ambition by entering the
list for the educational tours. Every
body wants to help them along, seem
ingly, and many are waiting to give
their votes to the fair contestant who
asks for them first.
