Medina's Grand Old Woman

The people Of the country have
more than once designated one of its
statesmen as "the grand old man." but
we have yet to learn Of similar dis
tinction being conferred upon an Amer
lean woman. But If ever there was
occasion To do a thing Of this kind, it
is at hand, and the woman is Mrs.
Kate Lane Of Chippewa Lake. AT
68 years Of age, she has successfully
passed the army examination for Red
Cross work, has been accepted as a re-
cruit, and will probably sail for France
within the next few weeks.
Mrs. Lane has been blessed with
good health all her life, and at 68 Is as
hail and hearty as the larger per
centage of her own sex at half~that
age. Following her examination in
Cleveland by Major H. L. Gilchrist,
u. s. army corps commander Of base
hospital, No, 4, Mrs. Lane returned to
her home at Chippewa Lake, where
she will pursue the even tenor OF her
way until summoned to her country's
service.

LODI DETECTIVE
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Hoboes have been giving the B. &
o. railroad trouble at Lodi for some
time and arrests have been frequent.
Since war was declared the railroad
has had two guards at each of its
three bridges, in Lodi, one watching
at night, the other during the day.
Last Sunday afternoon, E. c. Brok-
aw, day watchman at the bridge near
the inter-urban station of the South
western, arrested five hoboes who were
stealing rides, but, for some reason
was unable to obtain authority to hold
them, and they were released.
About o'clock the same night,
while in the inter-urban station, Bro
kaw heard suspicious sounds from the
bridge and raised window to get his
bearings, when he heard a report of a
gun and sensed the passing of bull
let through the station window and
within few inches of his head. Bro
kaw rushed out and emptied his gun
at two or three, men he says he saw
running away from the bridge.

S1OO EACH FOR
ILLEGAL SALES

That the dry campaign has started
already in Medina county would seem
to be evidenced by the conviction last
Friday of Charles Rowland and e. A.
Rowland, Lodi druggists, for having
sold liquor without properly filing out
their registration books. Charles and
E. A. Rowland are respectively father
and son, each conducting pharmacy
at Lodi. F. S. Evans and w. d.
Jones, state inspectors, were the ones
who supplied the evidence for convic-
ton.
The Rowlands were arrested Friday
by Marshal AL Hange and brought to
Medina, where their cases were heard
before Mayor L. H. Randall. Both
druggists admitted having been care
less in registering prescriptions for
liquor, but disclaimed any intent to
evade the law by so doing. Each was
given the minimum sentence under the
statutes, which was $1O0 and costs,
the combined fines amounting to
$210.50. The fines were promptly
paid and the men released. Besides
the fines, neither druggist will be per-
mitted to sell liquor again for two
years, with or without prescription,
and were given the opportunity OF
shipping back to the dealers from
whom they purchased it all of the
liquor they now have on hand.

COMPLICATION IN
POTATO SITUATION

The seed potato situation in this
county is quite complicated at present.
The county has been fairly well can
vassed and requests for 600 to TOO
bushels of seed have come in. The
best price for carload lots has come
from Paw Paw, Michigan, where Rural
New Workers, in sacks, can be secured
for $500 per bushel f. o. b. Paw Paw.
However, the coming in of early po-
tatoes has caused a drop in the Cleve-
land market where they are now quot
ed at $3.50 to $2.75 per bushel. The
secretary of the county association
phoned to several of those desiring
seed, and very few were willing to
guarantee to take the seed should the
market price at the time the potatoes
were delivered decline below the price
quently no potatos will be ordered, at
at tie time they ordered. Conse-
least not at present,
Efforts are being made to secure
more farm help, as there is strong
demand for it at present. Several
men have already been placed, and il
Is hoped that more help may be found

misfortunes, all of which she has sur
mounted with the same spirit that now
is shown, when, at nearly the allotted
span Of life, she volunteers in a SEP
vice for her country that will likely
remove her far from home, TO fields
beyond the sea. This heroic soul was
both a mother and a widow at the age
of nineteen. At that time she was a
resident of Cleveland. Soon after the
death of her husband, there being a
medical school in the city, she entered
it as a student and was graduated in
1869 --forty-eight years ago. Later
she remarked and devoted her time to
her family. For eighteen years she
was member Of the Red Cross, is a
suifraget, and a strong believer and
worker in the temperance cause, hav-
ing been one Of the Crusaders" in the
great temperance wave Of 1871.
Mrs. Lane possesses q host Of friends

SO long, and who are thrilled at her re-
markable offer of services to her ma
ton at so advanced an age and when
the service may be at a terrible sacri-
iice. yl

ASSESSORS TO ASK
farmers NEEDS

Ohio's tax assessing machinery was
enlisted Monday to make a complete
canvas of the labor needs of every
Ohio farmer.
The canvas will be made for the
Ohio branch of the Council of National
Defense.
At the same time a program will be
undertaken for state wide inventory
of available labor by having every
city employer furnish a continuous
record of each employe who leaves his
position.
The scheme thus will connect the
labor needs of the farmer and the un-
employed labor of the city, to provide
the council with this information:
Canvass Of the employers will show
where there are men for the farm or
other vacancies.
Action taken Saturday completes a
plan for bringing together the job and
the man. Filling the job will promote
Ohio's agricultural mobilization. En-
ploying the man will eliminate, in the
opinion of officials, the danger of un-
employment which industrial and COM
mercial needs have warned would
threaten if war time economy caused
a sudden decrease in trade.
The plan Of having tax assessors
report the labor needs of the farms
was evolved Saturday at conference
between F. c. Croxton, labor member
of the State defense council and A. B.
Peckinpaugh of the state tax commits
sion.
AS a result, this telegram was sent
to all county auditors, who were to
meet Monday at 9 with the tax as
SCISSORS in the, several counties in con-
nection with putting the new tax law
into operation:
At the request Of the Ohio
branch of the Council of National
Defense you will direct your as
SCISSORS in connection with their
other work, to learn wha tfarmers
are in immediate need Of farm Y.
help and to notify the superinten-
dent, state-city employment Office,
there is inserted the location Of
the Office for each county, at the
close Of each day by postcard.

A CORRECTION

In its issue Of April 27, the Sentinel
published an account of an alleged as
sault made by John Trent upon John
Mitchell and of the formers escape to
avoid arrest. The article further
stated that Deputy Sheriff Floyd Pei
ton, in searching the home Of Trent's
parents in Rittman, pulled back the
covers of a bed and found there male
member Of the household with two
female occupants. The latter state
ment, we have since learned was in
correct, and the Sentinel deeply re-
grets the error, and the reflection It
cast upon one of the reputable and es-
teeined families Of Rittman. The err
ror was the result Of a misunderstand-
ing with our informant. The Senti-
mel apologies 10 Mr.. and Mrs. Tenh.

LAWYERS COME TO
BLOWS DURING SUIT

A case was tried in Common Pleas
court last Friday, which, in itself, did
Mt amount to much-involving only

bringing two Medina attorneys into
physical combat.

neal from Justice Stephen Nickerson's
court at Lafayette, in a suit for wages,
Plaintiff claimed that he had hired out
to defendant as farm hand, at one
time for $1.75 per day and board and
at another time for SIPS per day
evidence was introduced to show that
Davnents had been made in various
forms and, without going into the de-
tails as brought out, suffice 1T to say
that, verdict was rendered for de-

During the noon adjournment, or
Friday, a discussion arose between At
