Medina PEOPLE
INVEST IN COAL

The coal supply for next winter
looks like 800 to $500 per ton, ow-
ing to the fact that the available sup
ply of fuel is very small at the pres
ent time; and owing to the increased
demand, it is necessary that new sup
plies of coal be procured.
Medina county has a number of
citizens interested in a new company
just organized at Akron, known as
the Interstate Mining Co., whose Of
fcers are among the best known coal
men of Northern Ohio, and no doubt
they will make this company one of
the leading coal companies in the state
within the next few years.
The property of the company is To-
Gated near Carrollton, Ohio, and con-
tains nearly 2,200 acres of high-grade
coal This property was secured
nearly 16 years ago, at cost Of only
$4,000, but has increased in value
until at the present time the valua-
tion placed on the property by mining
experts is between $150,000 to $780,
900; in fact the company has refused
several offers of more than 100000.
The company is now working force
of men, developing the mine, by driv.
ing shaft, building railroads, and
other equipment, to produce coal
When completed, they will have a
production of 1000 tons daily. The
property Of the company lies in an ad.

EAT CHEESE CONSERVE FOOT y

Thousands Of gallons Of skim milk
are daily poured into the sewers in
big cities because there is no demand
for it in the form Of cottage cheese,
and because the cost of shipping to
farms for hogs is too great. Cot
tage cheese is high in protein content
and makes an excellent substitute for
meat, according to r. B. Stoltz Of the
College Of Agriculture. Considering
its nutritive value, it is a most econo-
mical food. A greater use OF cottage
cheese would conserve the food supply.
