UNIVERSALIST CHURCH
PLANS AN INNOVATION

The Universalist church of Leroy
Ohio, is extending to the people Of
Medina county very urgent invita-
tion to attend a series of meetings,
commencing March 25, and closing
Easter Sunday. It is giving the peo-
pie Of Medina county an opportunity
to hear six Of the ablest Universalist
speakers in the state: The Reverends
Olin, Baner, Fereshetien, Bishop, Row
land and Spanton, and it especially
urges those to attend who have been
unable to harmonic with the beliefs
and creeds of other Protestant church
eS.
It believes that most people, if Civ
en- the opportunity, would like to ac-
quaint themselves with the principles
Of the Universal Fatherhood of God"
and "The Final Harmony of all Souls
with God" Eternal damnation Of
souls has no part in their religion. For
this they have been criticized. They
believe this is unjust, in that many
churches are not preaching that part
Of the creed at the present time. They
urge better understanding, claiming
that Protestant ranks should not be
broken by petty differences.
The Leroy church, the only Univers-
alist church in Medina county, is cas-
lily reached by good automobile roads
and by the Cleveland and Southwest
ern Railway. Services every evening

PROBABLE ATTEMPT TO
PROVE LANDS INSANE

What defense will be put up by the
attorneys for Glen Lands, self-con-
fessed slayer Of his cousin, Charles
Eshelman, when his case comes up for
trial next month, is a matter Of con-
siderable speculation. It seems prob
able from recent reports, that an In
sanity plea will be set forth.
It is said that the attitude Of Lands
has changed since his Incarceration
and that now. instead Of his former
sOiicitude tor the We are Of I s. lksh-
Gilman, who Is under Indictment as his
accomplice, he is deeply embittered to-
ward her. The latter. likewise, de-
MES any hand in the murder of her
husband and vehemently declares that
she had persistently repulsed all per-
sonal advances made to her by Lam
dis.
It is rumored that Landis' confes-
sion may have been made to Shield
somebody" but, if so, such philan-
thropic state Of mind hardly comports
with a diseased mind.
Of course, every means will be ex-
hausted to save Lands, from the cleo
tric chair, but in the light Of his vol
untary confession and the circumstanc-
es surrounding his association with
Mrs. Eshelman, the trial bids fair to
be one Of the most hotly contested and
dramatic ones inthe history Of Wayne
county.

K TX MIN ATIoN or
1'IsEAsURERs' AK UNITS


AT the joint request Of the school
board and township trustees of Homer
township, a special examiner was sent
to clear up discrepancies in the ac-
counts Of the last two or three town
ship treasurers, dating back to 1908.
Inspector Arnold Xellmerten began
work Of inspection on Monday Of this
week, having the books at the court
house. II
Previously, another examiner had
made a finding against former town
ship treasurer Louis Glazier, the lat
ter promptly paying the alleged short
age into the treasury. There is now
substantial surplus in the treasury
not accounted for, and Glazier con-
tends that his payment was wrongful
ly, exacted from him. Later, Exam
iner KeIlmerten made finding
against S. E. Forney, the last town
ship treasurer, which money has not
been paid in, Forney claiming that
the finding should not have been made
against him.
There appears to be no unfriendli-
ness among those interested. and all
are anxious to have the affair straight
ened out by one who knows how and
who is clothed with authority to do it.

well known and who with her family
enjoyed wide circle Of friends, was
deeply saddened at the untimely death
Of Mrs. Park G. Bigelow, which oc-
Cured at her home, 612 East Wash
ingtOn street, last Friday night, after
an illness Of only a few days. While
Mrs. Bigelow had not enjoyed perfect
health for some time, her condition
was not regarded of a serious nature
until after she was stricken with an att
tack OfAgrippe last week, from which
it soon became apparent she would
never rally. In fact, on the Monday
evening preceding her death she spent
the evening with q social party Of
friends.
Sadie B. Bigelow, daughter Of Rob
ert and Julia Gargette, was born at
Hinckley, o., Feb. IL, 1877, and died
at her home in Medina on March 16,
1917, aged 40 years, ] month and 5
days. 4
On June 10, 1896, she was united in
marriage to Park G. Bigelow, who sur
wives to mourn the untimely loss Of d
loving and faithful wife. To this
union were born three children, Helen,
Anna, and Park Julian, who thus early
10 Life are called upon to face life's
problems without mothers gentle
sympathetic guidance.
Besides the immediate family, Mrs.
BigeIow is survived by two brothers,
Earl Gargette and Robert Gargette,
and one sister, Mrs. Myrtle Greenlese,
all of Cleveland
In infancy Mrs. Bigelow moved, with
her parents, to West Richfeld, at
which place her home was made until
coming to Medina in the fall Of 1904.
Mrs. Bigelow united with the Meth
0dist church Of w. Richfeld, was at
the time Of her death member Of the
Ever. Ready Circle Of the Kings
Daughters, and also member Of the
Eastern Star lodge and of the Pythian
Sisters. She was a woman who had
many friends, to whom she endeared
herself by her quiet, charitable, and
sympathetic nature. Not only by the
stricken husband and children, but BY
her large and intimate circle Of friends
and acquaintances is her sudden de-
parture from this earthly life most
sincerely mourned.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday forenoon, first at the home,
by members Of Eastern Star Lodge!

ANXIOUS TO HAVE
DIRT ROAD PAVED

The people Of Valley City are anK-
ious to have paved the mile strip Of
dirt road connecting the paved strip
running from Brunswick With. the one
running east from Valley City. Both
OF the latter are brick roads and the
intervening dirt road has been a source
OF Inconvenience and annoyance to the
people of that section, as well as all
who use the road, for long time. A
petition has been presented to the
county commissioners, asking that the
strip be paved, the expense to be borne
by the county, township trustees, and
property owners, the latter to bear
1919.
A meeting was held in Valley City
last Saturday afternoon to discuss the
matter, Attorney A. B. Underwood be-
ing called in to explain the legal as
poets of the case. Monday, the pe-
tition was presented to the commits
sioners, and several Liverpool citizens
were present to take the matter up
with the board, and while no definite
action was taken at the time, it is
probable that the paving will be done.

WANT HOMES FOR
WORTHY CHILDREN

The Ohio Board Of State Charities
has under its care some go children,
who for various reasons have been
bereft of parents. These children need
real fathers and mothers who will give
to them that love and sympathy for
which they have an infinite longing.
They will reciprocate with their ser
vices as they are able.
Many Of the best citizens of Ohio
have a great desire for the affection
and love Of a child. Almost everybody
knows that children are needed to
make a home complete.
The Board of State Charities. thru
its Children's Welfare Department, Is
seeking to bring together those home
less children and childless homes.
These children have been examined
by physicians and they are In good
physical condition. Psychological ex-
aminations have also been made IN or
der that it may be determined, SO far
as possible, that the child may be
placed in the family home is mentally
and physically normal.
Any person interested IN taking into
his home one of these children should
communicate with the Chic Board Of
State Charities, Children's Welfare
Department, Columbus, Ohio.

NEW ELECTION Laws

The primary election law was
changed by the legislature SO as to
prevent the fellow whose name be-
gins with A from coping the nonina-
tions. Hereafter the names Of can
didates win rotate and one candidate
will not be handicapped because the
first letter in his name may be well
down the alphabet. Another irnpor-
tant change in the general election
laws was In separating state and ma
tional tickets in presidential years.
-Four years ago the Democrats passed
the Gregory bill for this purpose--but
two years ago--before the measure
could be used the Republicans repeal
ed it by enacting the Hulswitt bill
which restored the old law keeping
state and national tickets in the same
column.

SYRUP FIXTURES
HIGHEST EVER

The higher cost Of maple syrup this
Spring is partly due to the soaring
price of syrup cans, wooden cases, sap
buckets and evaporators, and the high
cost Of labor.
Six empty gallons tin cans now cost
80 cents, and shipping case or box
costs about 22 cents, making an initial
cost of SLIP per half dozen, before
the cans are filed.
Cans are nearly 40 per cent. higher,
and cases nearly $50 per cent higher.
Many are having last years cans filed.
Manufacturers Of sugar fixtures say
the heavy tin used in evaporators is
nearly 800 per cent higher than year
ago.
Smaller sap buckets than usual cost
20 cents now.
II sugar makers have good sea
son, as the present outlook indicates,
other raises are expected and syrup
may not be much lower than the pres
ent price.

were present, except C. 2. Ganyard Of
Granger, who had an important en-
gagement in his sugar camp that day.

MEMBERS OF FIFTH
RETURNED FRIDAY

There was no civic demonstration
for the homecoming of the Medina
members of the Fifth regiment, who
arrived in town last Friday afternoon
at 3:14 o'clock, because there was no
certainty at what time they would ar
rive, and not all the members came 1t
that time anyway. Those who step
ped off the car were, Edward Kennap,
Joe Rumph, Leonard Clement, Harlapd
Arnold, Emil Faflick, Jerry McGinniss
and Harold Roshon. Fred Moehle,
Max Sargent and Clarence Williams,
went to Cleveland upon reaching Be
rea, to participate in the public re-
ception given the regiment in that
city. n
The regiment arrived in Berea from
Detroit about IL a. m. Friday. There
was public demonstration there and
banquet served in the armory. 1t
is estimated that 1000 people were
present to meet the members of the
Fifth as their train pulled into the
station.
If you think the boys have had a hard
time, just talk with them, and your
ideas will be changed. There are no
complaints, unless it would be that
they would have preferred little
more activity. The army dicipline
was not excessively rigid and the boys
say they Were accorded considerable
time for the pleasure of hunting. Rab-
bit, quail and duck were plentiful, and
members Of the regiment made the
most of the hunting privilege.
Newspaper reports have given every
body in this part Of the country an
idea of immenent carnage along the
border. Local members of the Fifth.
who have been right on the ground
since last June, state that at no time
while they were there was there any
anticipation of conflict. That they met
continually many Mexicans, who prov
ed to be the best Of fellows, and who
took no stock in the alarming reports
sent out.
The officers, say the boys, were very
courteous and considerate, and army
discipline, so far as practicable, was
made as easy as possible. Neverthe-
less, the boys were pretty glad to get
back to old Medina soil, as they all ad-
NIT and are satisfied, at least for the
time being, with the amount of army
experience they have had.

LOCAL GAS OFFICE
WILL NOT. BE CLOSED

A report circulated through the
press the past week that the Medina
Gas & Fuel Co. would center all of its
branch Offices in Wooster, is erroneous,
according to Manager Grant McNeal
Of the Medina Office. The fact is,
that the Ashland office, which erst-
while has been the chief Office outside
Of Cleveland, is to be transferred to
Wooster for the purpose Of making the
Office more centrally locatedin this field
The statement that the Medina, Mans
field and Cleveland Offices will be
closed, as stated in some newspapers,
as without foundation, says Local Man
ager McNeal.
