who do not enroll during this drive.
Accordingly some of the districts
(which were thoroughly canvassed a
feNt months 90 have. already obtained
their quotas and in some cases ex-
ceeded it.
| The convassing of the rural dis
tricts under the disadvantages of their
widely scattered population, and this
wintry season of the year, is no easy
task, and it cannot be expected that
all of them can reach their desired
quota. 1t will therefore, be necessary
for the villages and other more thick
ly settled districts to make up the de-
ficiencies.
The con, ass is managed by c. D.
Wightman, president of the County
Red Cross chapter, assisted by J. r.
Kennan.
The local directors in the districts
are as follows:
Brunswick, Mrs. D. M. johnson:
Chatham, Mrs. Ernest Clapp; Granger
Harry Codding; Guilford and Seville.
Mrs. Edith Matteson: Harrisville and
Lodi, Mrs. F. Fl. White; Hinckley,

Thursday afternoon there was re-
ported Cos memberships secured in
the village since the beginning of the
drive and all canvassers had not re-
ported. Last summer the village
membership was 300. 1t is estimated
that at least 200 of the COS reported
Thursday are new memberships, thus
it may safely be assumed that the Rec
Cross membership in Medina village
at the present time is 1000 or more.

extent beyond recognition.

ROOTS GET ORDER FOR
$4,000 LBS. OF HONEY

A pretty good idea of the immense
resources and capacity of the A. l..
Root Co. may be CLEANED from an
order received by the company through
the National Food Administration last
Friday morning.
The order was for 1876, 900 pounds of
honey, put up in pound tin cans, to be
ready for shipment within 80 days.
The honey is for Belgian soldiers.
The order was issued through COM
petitive bids, although it is doubtful
if there is any other bee industry in
the country with equipment to handle
so large an order.

SUCCESS Attends
RED CROSS DRIVE

The great Red Cross drive to in
crease the membership from five mil
lions to fifteen millions started on
Monday throughout America and will
continue till Chritmas eve. Judging
from incomplete and unofficial returns
so far, the managers of the campaign
are confident Of success.
The Cleveland headquarters fixed
the quota of the Medina county chap
ter at 4200, and the indications are
from partial reports that Medina
county will do it's full duty.
Apportioning this total of 4200
among the several villages and town
ships according to the population at
the last U. S. census, gives the fol-
toWinu rncI1lt.

DON'T USE CANDLES TO
LIGHT SERVICE FLAGS

Numerous homes throughout the
county have the Red Cross Service
flag in the front window, showing by
the white star in the center of the
cross that the whole family have
Joined the Red Cross.
Instructions had been given that on
Christmas eve at 7:30, lighted can
die be placed behind the flag in the
window. The national headquarters
has since issued warning concerning
fire hazard and advises that great care
be taken, that no candles be used and
that the observance can be carried out
by taking down curtains, raising the
shades and letting the light Of the
room illuminate the service flag.

SHARON MAN SEEKS
LIFE OF NEIGHB0R

John Beech of Sharon had miracu
lour escape from death last Sunday
morning, when shot at six times at
close range by Samuel Anderson, also
Of Sharon, who later declared that he
had intended killing Beech. None of
the bullets struck Beech, but two pas
sed through his clothing.
The shooting occurred on the high
way one mile west and a little less
than mile south Of Sharon Center,
about noon.
In substance, Anderson's version Of
the affair is as follows:
Anderson was at the home of JUS
tice Cyrus Johnson in the morning
seeking advice as how to secure the
formers horse and cutter, which, ac-
cording to Anderson, was being with
held from him by some legal entan-
clement in which Beech is said to
have been involved. Anderson says he
saw Beech drive past, the house. Leav-
ing the johnson house Anderson says
he went to his home, southwest of
Sharon, in what is known as "Katy-
town." and about aquarter of mile
from Beech's, where he procured his
revolver and set out to overtake
Beech. As he approached Beech, An
derson says he ordered him to stop,
whereupon Beech drew a pitchfork.
1t was then that the shooting took
place.
Anderson says there was no CONVEX
sation between he and Beech except
the formers demand for the latter to
stop his team.
Following the shooting Anderson
says he told Beech to take him along,
ais he had intended to- kill him and
wanted 10 give himself up to The
\ authorities Beech is said tai have rQ'
fipIied: Your damned carcasS isiisii
worth taking along"
| Anderson then ran to the home oil
Justice Johnson, throwing the revol.
yer away, and asked that the sheriff
| be sent for.
Sheriff Gehman, accompanied by
States Attorney Underwood, left al
once for Sharon and placed Anderson
under arrest.
AHuCISVi was CiiipIOScu Wy DCCCIl a
the time of the latter's rtial for alleged
brutal treatment of stock a year or two
ago. He alleges that he is in desperate
financial straits through Beech. ant
I that he was thus goaded to what he at
tempted to do on Sunday.
Anderson is married man with ;
family of six children, and erstwhil'
] has borne good reputation in his con
munity.
Beech came to Medina Monday af
J ternoon and swore out a warran
against Anderson, charging him will
shooting with intent to kill. He wa

is but one case of smallpox in the viii

The trouble may involve the throat

with the first symptoms of n cold In
the head. all business should be sus-
pended except that of mastering the
disorder one or two local treatments
given by a nose and throat specialist in
the initial stage of a head cold will
prove germicidal.
In many cases where sneezing Is an
early, and likely to he persistent,
symptom, great relief can be obtained by
tnhaling steam to which twenty to
thirty drops of camphor have been
added. For this purpose bath towel
and a small bowl filed with boiling
water may be used.
Arrange the towel so that Il incloses

This simple remedy influences not
only the infamed mucous lining of the
nasal passages and throat, but also af-
fects those parts of the skin area which
have a direct or indirect nerve connec-
ton with the affected parts.
A hot sweating bath of some Kind
should be taken, a simple foot bath
often being effective Place the feet
In a small 'ub or bucket two-thirds full.
The receptacle should be covered over
with blankets or other material In
order to retain as much of the heat as
possible. The water should be as hot
as can be borne and as II cools may
be reheated by adding fresh water at
intervals.
The patient should sip water or lemon
ade as hot as can be borne during the
course of the treatment. The bath
should continue until good perspira-
ton Is secured The feet should then

cabinet, when available is an excellent
substitute for the tub bath.
The small portable cabinets. which
afford either dry heat or vapor may

During any form of sweating bath the
