Fire Damages House
on Medina Street


Fire broke out in the two-story
frame dwelling at the corner Of Bron-
son and Medina streets Tuesday night
about 10 o'clock and but for the
prompt arrival Of the FIRE department
would have been destroyed.
The building is the property Of w.
E. Bowman and was unoccupied. Re
pairs had recently been made and II
was painted on Tuesday. Tuesday af-
ternoon Mr.. Bowman had burned up
considerable rubbish in the back yard
of the building but claims that he was
careful to see there was no fire left
before he went home. When they ar
rived the firemen discovered beam
lying against the back end of the
house from which flames were rolling
up against the wall and it is their
opinion that the fire was planned by
some one, probably boys. Also there
was evidence that the fire had been
burning some time before an alarm
was turned in. No effort had been
made to put out the fire until the de-
partment arrived. The building car
ried $400 insurance.

Made for Tour

Mr.. R. E. MacDonagh, who managed
the Sentinel's recent circulation cam
paign through the result Of which
three Medina county ladies will tour
the Golden West and visit the Pana-
ma expositions as the guests of the
Sentinel, was in town Tuesday morn
ing to learn the wishes of the ladies
concerning the date at which they
shall take their departure; also to
ascertain SO far as possible the num-
ber of persons who contemplate maxi
ing the trip at the same time. Those
with whom Mr.. MacDonagh conferred
while here decided that about July |
would suit them best and Mr.. Mac
Donagh left for Cleveland Tuesday af-
ternoon to make Pullman car reser-
vations. The party will consist of
20 from Akron, 10 from Alliance, at
least 8 from Medina and few from
Lodi. There will be close to so in
the big special Pullman palace train
that will steam out of Cleveland in
the week of July /, laden with merry
Ohioans.
Complete details the Sentinel will
be unable to publish until it is known
the exact number who will form the
party and the day that will suit the
largest number.

Poultry Raising
Old as the Hills

Poultry raising is about as old as
thehills, but only within the past gem
Grafton have the possibilities Of the in
dustry been realized. No one can pre-
diet the future. Observation and read
ing are doing much to post the public
on facts regarding it and there seems
to be no limit in sight all that we
know Is that poultry raising is now
one OF the most profitable industries
and that it is rapidly advancing.
Capital is finding its way to invest
fnent in poultry raising, and into the
manufacture Of correct appliances for
its further advancement. Poultry cul--
lture has the confidence Of the general
public and, while many will always
fail from lack Of application and pro-
per regard for necessary conditions,
these failures will be Ia no greater pro
portion than may be found III any in
dustry that attempts the unworthy
and the unfit by its promise Of un-
usual profits. The course Of any line
cf human endeavor is marked BY the
wrecks of those who fail and who
would full ia any venture where
study and application are required. 10

OBITUARY

James Henry Hart was born July
IL, 1874, at Junino, Seneca county,
New York. At an early age he with
his parents, Gahafi and Esther Catha-
rine Hart, removed to Lorain County,
Ohio, where he grew up and lived un-
til the breaking out Of the Civil War
in 1861. At this time, September 10,
1862, at the age of 18 years, he en-
listed in the service of his country in
Company F, Third Ohio Veteran Vol
unteer Cavalry and remained in this

on county, they removed to Medina
county, living near Lafayette and then
near Weymouth. AT this last place
on Feb. 26, 1880, his early companion
was called home to God in the Great
Beyond. A loving wife and devoted
mother was only treasured memory

The Warnes Law an
Economic Measure

The Warnes law will not be Judged
by the present or future conditions due
to the demoralization which has re-
suited from the destructive tactics Of
the Willis administration. Rather will
it stand as an economic measure by the
results of the first year of administra-
tion when for the first time in the his
tory Of the state there was an euuita-
BILE and fair listing Of property fol-
taxation and thereby reduction OF
the tax rate in practically every tax
ing district Of the state; rather will il
be judged well because it created a
new morale in tax paying, SO that
every man is willing to bear his just
share of the cost Of government, ex-
emplified in lack Of complaint by tax
payers when they found reductions
coming to them, and further by the
reduction in lists of delinquent lands
The efforts of an unfriendly admins
tration with an unfriendly state com
mission to discredit the law and its
district administrators, no matter how
potent those efforts, cannot take away
the results already accomplished.

Wings Held as
State Witnesses

When James Mast is brought up for
trial for the murder of his brother
Napoleon in Seville some weeks ago,
Joseph Wing and wife, the latter a
sister of the slain man, will appear as
witnesses for the state, in spite of
their carefully laid plans to the con-
trary, as they are now in the custody
of Sheriff Gehman, where they will
remain until the trial of Mast.
About a month ago Sheriff Gehman
learned that Wing and his wife were
making ready to leave Seville, and
with Deputy Pelton he hurried to Sc
vile to prevent their departure. Upon
arrival it was discovered that Masi
had already gone and that his house
hold goods were at the depot ready
for shipment to Plumbville, Pa. 1
Meanwhile the sheriff got in touch
! with the Plumbviile authorities and
Wings whereabouts and movements
have been kept tab Of ever since. Last
Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Gehman
in company with assistant States
Attorney Arthur Van Epp, left for
Plumbville, arriving there Thursday
afternoon. Wings home was located
about a mile from the railroad sta
ton. Upon their arrival the officers
found no trace of Wing, although q
neighbor stated that he had been there
only a half hour before. Surmising
that Wing had seen them first and had
secreted himself in the home of Q
friend nearby, the officers made search
and found both Wing and his wife
hiding in the cellar. After much par
leying they consented to be brought
back to Medina without any trouble
Though under arrest, Wing and his
J wife are permitted the freedom Of the
town, as an attempt to escape would
render them liable to term in the
lpenitentiary.

together either by finding a home for
them in the same family or by locat-
ing them with families in the same
community. DR.. Rudolf Pintner Of

a psychological examination Of these
children declares them to be unusually
bright and promising.

What Assessors
Will Try to Get

The deputy tax assessors are all al
work. Acting under instructions
from Commissioner Lowrie the dep
.uties will make assessments on the
various things listed below as follows;
Because of the partial quarantine
measures against live stock, the ques-
tion has arisen whether cows should
be assessed their value as expressed
in returns to the owner or whether
the price of cows should be governed
by prices for which they can be sold
on the market at the present time. n,
It has been decided to assess cows
at the value they possess to the own.
ers and to disregard quarantine meas
ures and prices. Assessors were told
to use their judgment in placing value
on horses.
Definite prices were determined
upon for grains. Wheat will be as
sessed at $1.40 a bushel, corn 45c q
basket, oats so cents, cloverseed So a
bushel, hay $12 a ton, potatoes zoe

Growing Condition
of Wheat is Poor

That the growing condition of Ohio
wheat is rather poor is the announce
ment made by the state agricultural
commission in it's April crop report.
Alternate thawing and freezing is the
cause generally assigned. In some
parts Of the state, however, the Hes
sian fly contributed to the damage.
Compared with an average, the esti-
mated yield is SO per cent, as against
95 per cent, this time last year. Of last
years crop, IL per cent, is believed
to be in the producers hands as
against IA per cent year ago.
The present acreage seeded is esti-
mated at 1928, ,267 acres. This years
harvest according to the commits
sion, should yield approximately as
many bushels as last summer. The
present market value of wheat is
placed at $1.42 per bushel. It is
claimed there will be no material in
crease in Ohio's wheat yield until the
acreage is increased.

Spelling Contest
Here Today

4 An event Of great interest to every
citizen of Medina county will be the
county spelling contest which will be
held on Friday of this week at the
high school building in Medina. The
Scontest is part of a state wide move
ment toward greater efficiency Of the
public schools, and is directly trace
able to the school organization under
the present law.
H Details of this contest have been
! carefully worked out by County Supt.
IJenks and his able corps of district
superintendents and the contest bids
fair to be spirited. Elimination con-
tests have been held and the winners
have heen drilled for the final county
match on Friday.
ueeply interested in this movement
for better spelling the Sentinel, as
announced two weeks ago, offered a
prize Of $10-$5 to each of the win
rers in the high school and grade con-
tests. Since making the offer in this
form we have learned that another
newspaper has offered similar prize
to the high school winner and it has
been suggested to us that on that ac-
count we offer our prize to the high
est grade winner. Thus the Sentinel's
$40 prize will be given to the one pu-
pill receiving the highest count from
the graded schools, instead of being
divided with the winner from the high
schools.
The contestants will meet at 2:3O
p. m. A list of 100 words will be
furnished by the county superinten-
dent for each group and the pupils
making the highest percentage will be
declared county champions. The win
ners in the county will be sent to
Columbus, where on June A will be
held the statewide spelling contest,
the result Of which will determine who
shall receive the honor of champion
speller of the state. Surely a trip to
the capital city and the chance to be-
come state shampion is something
worth working for.
After the written examination an
old-fashioned spell-down will be held
while the examiners are grading the
lists.
