SCHOOL NOTES

At a meeting of the Medina County
Board of Education held Tuesday, Dec.
%, it was decided to hold the annual
meeting of school board members for
this county on Friday, Jan. IA, 1916.
The meeting last year was held late
in February when many farmers were
busy at sugar making and it seemed
best to hold the meeting this year at
an earlier date.
Another reason for holding the
meeting on Jan. IA, is that through
the efforts of County Supt. jerks, Mr..
H. w. Foght of the National Depart
ment of Education can be secured for
that date. Mr.. Foght's official posi-
ton is that of specialist in rural school
practice and it is doubtful if there is
another man in this country who is as
familiar with rural schools, not only
in the United States, but in other coun
tries.
Mr.. Foght has been sent out by the
national government to study the rural
school conditions and practices of Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
For months he travelled through these
countries studying to discover the ex-
ira strong points of the rural school
systems of those countries and thru
the knowledge obtained he has writ
ten several books used as text books
in various state universities and nor
NAL schools. He has also put out
large number of the lest monographs
published by the national department
of education.
Mr.. Foght's time is in great demand
as speaker at state and national
gatherings and it is only by lucky
chain Of events that he was obtained
for Medina county. At present he is
in Colorado lecturing and making an
educational survey of the work of the
Colorado State Agricultural College
and will stop off at Medina for one day
on his way back to Washington.
Mr.. Foght will give two addresses
while here; in the morning he will ex-
plain the rural school system of Den
mark or Norway and at the afternoon
session will discuss the present trend
of rural education in various parts of
this country. No one interested in ed
ucation can hear Mr.. Foght's address,
es without getting a broader view of
the great questions of education.
Assistant State Supt ]. E. Clifton
of Columbus will also be present at
this meeting. Those who attended |
the meeting last year will remember
Mr.. Clifton's able discussion of the
taxation question as applied to school
affairs. He has not yet given out the
topic for his talk this year, but this
will be announced in the program that
will appear in next weeks Sentinel.
Although this meeting is called un-
der authority of section 4747-1, Gen
eral Code of Ohio, for the school board
members of the county, the public is
cordially invited to attend and it is
hoped that large number of the
mothers and fathers of the county will
be present.

HALF WAY MARK FINDS CLUBS
 PUNCHED IN MAJOR LEAGUES
White Sox Biz Lead

The American league race finds the Chicago team far out in front: but with the chances of Boston aEd Detroit by no means hopeless. The lace set by the White Sox. however. is a dizzy one. and the second and third place teams. until the past week have not been able to keep up with it. But both the Red Sox and the Tigers are doing better.
 In general. the Chicagoans arc playing a game not to be matched at present in either league.
 New York and Washington form the second American league group and are in a sharp fight for fourth place with the advantage just now with the Yankees.
 In an apparently hopeless position are Cleveland. St. Louis and Phila delphia.
 The Federal league clubs stood ;.t the close of the week just as they did a week before. with St. Louis and Kansas City fighting for the leadership. the latter having had slightly the better week of it.

HAGEMAN FINISHES
 ECONOMICAL JUNKE1
Franklin Man Averages 25.3 Miles Per Gallon to Tucson; 22.6 Miles.
 on 1900 Mile Voyage

Having averaged so much mileage for 1900 mile trip to the south of the state, that Herb Hester may have to carry out his threat to play an exhibition ball game for the ben eft of the Standard oil Co, George 4ageman returned to Phoenix with his face tanned, and deposits on three Franklins in his pocket last evening.
 Hageman has been out of Phoe- nix for over a week. ranging around tire south country with Harold Wells, bis expert mechanician. One of the objects of the tour was to sell Franklins and the other was to sec how far the wagon would travel on a meager quantity of gasoline.
 From Phoenix to Tucson the first day, Hageman averaged 25.3 miles per gallon, and for the 1900 mile trip, 22.6 miles per gallon. These figures are attested by representa- tives of newspapers along the route with whom the results of the tesc were officially checked.
 Three cars were sold. one in MoT- enci and two in Douglas.

FOUND PLUNeERs' OIL SUPPLY
Source of Fuel for German Graft Was
 Long Mystery to British

It was known to the English ad miralty that German submarines ap bearing in the North Sea were ob- taining oil from some point off the English coast. For a long time the most careful search failed to disclose the source of this supply. Every shop going out of port was minutely ex- amined but nothing was discovered.
 The oil supply remained mystery until one day a ship which had come in delivered it's cargo and was about to go out again into the North Sea, when it was observed to carry on it's decks more cable than seemed neces- sary; in fact, the whole deck of the ship was dotted with coiled rope. It occurred to one of the English cus- toms officers that this type of ship could have no use for so much cable An investigation was made. It was found that the great. heaps on the deck were merely rope wrapped round metal drums. The drums were filled with oiI..-Melville Davisson Post in the Saturday Evening Post.

 HorrelTs trip will be partly one of business. One thing he intends dc- ing is to supply some accurate road dope for the readers of The Repub- lican. So much has been said and written about the coast route late ly, and opinions vary so widely, with the driving experience of tourists, that there has been little enough accurate news about the road. 1or- relI will view the road as from the elevated plane of an average driver

 HAYDEN. Ariz.. July 6.-The Mines aggregation of heavy hitters seemed to have d decidedly off day on the fifth when they jOurneyed over from the mining metropolis and met defeat at the hands of the Hayden Mill to the tune of ten to two. There was a large holiday crowd out to welcome the visitors and much better exhibi ton was expected. The mighty Gla venich opened the game on the mound for the Ray boys but did not exhibit his usual form and was relieved by Hogan in the third inning after four had walked. Ramsey pitched an ex cellent game for the locals and had splendid support. The mill boys took a safe lead in the third inning and there were no exciting situations ow ing to the one-sided score. This was not a league game but only q holiday event and will have no effect on the percentage column of the teams

THOUGHT HE WAS GOING UP

Mention of Sir John French recalls a good yarn that is going the rounds about certain very conceited Col onel, who is as yet quite unknown to fame, but who has a great idea of his own importance and who was always boasting of what he would do when he got on active service.
 His military friends did not believe that he was so anxious to get into the thick of the fighting as he pro- fessed to be, and they laid their heads together with the result that one of them rushed upon him with the false news:
 Have you heard the latest? You are ordered off for active service inn mediatelyi"
 The colonel started to his feet.

PATENTS FIELD GUN
WITH TWO BARRELS
julius Wodiska Plans to Fiuht
Aircraft With ProjectiIes
Chained Together.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

speclai i'lspiIcL TO IIe star.
NEW YORK, January "a double
barreled field piece, which fires two
projectiles connected with a powerful
chain and which the inventor believes
Will prove to be one of the most effec-
tive engines of warfare, especially
against aircraft, has been patented in
Washington by julius Wodiska of this
city, who describes his double -barreled
piece of ordnance as a certain new
and useful improvement in guns and
chain shot"
Whether or not the gun will prove
the success that Mr.. Wodiska predicts
will only be determined after official
experiments have been made
The new double barreled field niece
is breech loading, with a single ex-
plosive chamber, adapted to either
military powders now in use or to
compressed air. The twin barrels are
divergent at a slightly oblique angle.
Aims at Any Angle.
The gun can be readily aligned for
aiming at any angle from level to ver-
tical, its muzzles describing quadrant
Of the azimuth circle. The projectiles
are hollow shells with forward con-
nected tubes f1ared at their muzzles to
fit the bore and rifling of the cannon's s
two barrels. Within the base cham
bers of the shells are reeled or coiled
fifty or more feet of chain or wire
cable.
When the gun is discharged the
shell tube missiles are projected
gradually separating in fight and un-
reeling the chain until it is taut, the
twin projectiles keeping to their course
united.
The desired effect is for the chain
when resistance is presented by the
air crafts structure to whirl the heavy
projectiles on the chains ends around
the body of the flying craft crumplins
it's structure and wings or the en-
velopes, inner skins and ribs of the
balloons if the craft be 1ighter-than-
