FOOD PLEDGE E-CARD
CAMPAIGN STILL ON

The food-pledge-card campaign in
Medina county is still going on this
week owing to lack of supplies to
start on time last week. Reports have
been coming in slowly and it is i'm
possible to make a complete summary
at this time. The canvassers have in
most cases met with hearty support
in all parts of the county. Especially
has this been true in those localities
where meetings have been held and the
objects Of the campaign fully dis
cussed.
In one or two localities wild rumors
have been set afoat to the effect that
the government was planning the
seizure Of all canned food in the cellar
of the provident housewife. In other
places small groups of ladies have
declared the movement "silly." How
ever, in nearly all these cases compe-
tent workers have been able to ex-
plain the purpose of the movement in
such way that the objector has seen
the need of arousing all the people
to feel the necessity of saving and
economizing our food resources to the
utmost.
The burden of supplying food, which
this nation must assume for the COM
ing year, will be a heavy one and can
be met only by strict conservation OF
all our resources. .
Our allies, as well as our own peo-
pie, must be and will be fed, as wt
i i 3aaEs 1,1i f{fghkiytp. for. the same cause
Any weakening OF the power Of Uui
allies, means just that much more fol-
the United States to do.

ported are as follows: Granger 63

ELECTION GIVES TOWN
DEMOCRATIC MAYOR

The election passed off in Medina in
quietude, although there was a large
vote polled and notwithstanding the
vital questions at issue. The only
demonstration that occurred was late
Tuesday night, when a number Of
friends of A. L. Sedgwick carried him
around the public square on ladder
when it became certain that he had
been elected marshal of the village.
Later the same ones awakened Rev.
Dimmock from his slumbers and de-
manded speech because Of his elec-
ton as mayor of the village. Both
gentlemen accepted the circumstances
with good feeling.
Mr.. Dimmock and Mr.. Sedgwick
were on the Democratic ticket respec-
lively for mayor and marshal, and
both were elected, the former by a
plurality of SO votes, the latter by a
plurality of 1875 votes. The Democrats
also elected two members of the vii
lage board of education; H. E. Aylard

tainments made around 5000 for books
for the library.
The high school this year has placed
two-year course in Home Economics,
two-year course in Manual Training
and three-year course in Agriculture.
This is the first year that these cours-
es have been given extensively.
The school spirit is of the best and
with such a man at the head Of the
institution as Supt. Miller, an enthusi-
astic, energetic young man, we can
readily see where the spirit comes
from. Mr.. Miller is the youngest su-
perintendent in the county and a man
well fitted for that special task, hay
ing graduated from Ohio State Uni
yersity in 1914, and, being associated
with young people and knowing the
Youths perspective, gives him the fin
ishing touches for an efficient super
intendent. He has as instructors In
the high schoo miss Martha Mills and
Miss L. Mandery, both Of Columbus,
Mr.. R, G. Gates from Indiana State
UNIVERSITY, dIlu IMlSo lShO OhNAA.AAAS

SEVILLE SCHOOL TO
DEDICATE BUILDING

The people of Seville have set aside
Friday, Nov. 16, to dedicate their new
$35, 900 school building, of which they
can be justly proud, and just as well
proud of her schools, because we are
informed that they have one of the
best and up-to-date schools as can be
found in village as small as Seville.
The schools are situated in the new
building, which is credit to the town
as we'll as the best interests Of the
students. No other town in Northern
Ohio of the size of Seville can boast
of building used for the purpose of
educational uplift as that village, a
building which will always stand as
d monument indicative of the best
wishes of the people of Seville that
their sons and daughters might have
the best possible.
Provisions for heating, lighting and
ventilation are carefully worked out on
modern principles. The building is
just far enough from the business sec
ton of the town to be quietly located
and easily accessible. The building
contains nine rooms for recitations and
laboratories, with large commodious
corridors, and an auditorium which
will seat about 300 people. The Of
flee and rest rooms are on the landing
between the first and second floors.
The heating sYstena is the steam and

One room on the first floor is to be
finished off into library for the school

ASHLAND POPS 1T
TO M. H. S. 6 TO O

Medina high schools football team
has the 6 to 0 habit firmly planted in
it's system, if we may Judge by past
scores. Friday, Nov. 2, they journeyed
to Ashland and lost by that score.
If ever team lost a hard-luck con-
test, the Medina lads are entitled to
that alibi. Time and again they tore
through their opponents heavy line, or
around their ends for long gains, but
each time they threatened to score,
some bit of bad luck cropped up. A
close summary of the game would
show that Medina gained twice as
ground as its opponent. 4,
Ashland's only score came in the
third quarter and was due to poor
pass from center to Jones who had
dropped back to punt. On every other
occasion Medina threw back their op-
ponents for losses when their goal was
threatened.
Medina's fast back field composed
of Fritz, Stoup, Hartman and Nun
son, ripped Ashland's defense te
shreds and were able to gain at any
point they chose to direct their at.
tack. Pug Warren was out of most o1
the game with lame leg. \.
The line played well also, Standon
Jones and Bennett in particular dis
tinguishing themselves. NJ
Medina lined up as follows: n
Bartholomew, !. G; Standon r. I; Ben

new DRAFT PLAN
effective SOON

About 5000, 900 men of draft age in
the United States are effected by the
new draft classification plans which
Provost Marshal General Crowder Of
Washington has announced, and which
President Wilson has approved.
Approximately 100000 men who
now hold exemption certificates will be
among those to be classified in one Of
the five divisions according to their
liability for service.
In order to determine the class in
which he will be placed, each of these
will be required to answer a list of
questions for unless they arephysically
disqualified or are non-residents, their
exemption certificate merely excused
them from the first draft.
AS Maj. Gen. Crowder has reiter-
ated, the new system does not affect
in any way the men selected for mill
targ service-the men now in mobili-
.zation camps or being made ready for
mobilization.
By next week QUESTIONABLE will
be mailed to every one of the 100000
registered men not in khaki.
This QUESTIONABLE, known officially
as tt'Form 1,000," is small booklet.
Ont cover is a dotted line for the
name Of the registrant. Opposite this
line is small series of blocks repre-
senting the five new classes into which
registered men are to be divided.
The registrant receives his booklet
through the mails and is required to
answer questions it contains, questions
carefully devised to determine whether
hissoccupation and commitments at
hofne make it wiser not to withdraw
him from civilian life for work in the
field. There is page or more of ques
tons for each class.
i Receiving his booklet, the registrant
| writes his name on the dotted line and
makes an tx" in the block represent
4 ing the class in which he believes he
should be listed.
For instance, single men not en-
gagged in vital war work will form
Class 1.-The first to be called; married
men with non-dependent wives and no,
engaged in vital war work will be il

his answer.
The QUESTIONABLE is described b!
Provost Marshal General Crowder a.
a "big affidavit" which eliminates th'
other forms of affidavit used in th'
first draft.
The local board examines the an
swers and approves or changes th'
classification claimed by the regis
trant.

 Midnight Sun

A large number from Douglas and Treadwcn attended the reception given at Juneau Wednesday night in honor of Bishop Crimont. lately consccratcd in Seattle and who i'm mcdiatcly came to take his charge in Alaska. where he was stationed many years ago.
 Bishop Crimont is a most likahlc man and Alaska Is fortunate in sc- curing him. The following tribute was paid to him at his conservation;
 "To obtain a story of the life and works of Bishop Crimont, you must go into the Land of the Midnight Sun. where Inc has laborcd, and there you will find it engraved in deep and indclliblc characters across the rugged land and rugged souls which he has laborcd to reclaim to Almighty God. The story is there, and it is pure gold. but you must dig it from the frozen ribs of the Northland as the miner does the precious metal you can not get it from his lips"

The following is from the Seward Posts
 Ou returning from a tour of i'm ycstigotion into possible frauds at thc last election. T. J.

 Tho statement says
 Dispositions m Che election con test ease ot Aroguak show that not moro than 10 votes of the 62 east were those of white people. Not lo.s than I7 votos were east by Alcuts living under tribal relations, and ai of thc voters could neither read nor writc nor understand the English language. Most of these testified that they had voted for Wickcrsham and others testified that they did not know for whom they voted. The testimony, undis- putcd. show that they were rounded up by John Tauswhak, an educated Ncut and Wickcrsham agent at Ar ognak and that Inc went into tho booths with thcm and marked their balgots for Wickorsham, and that they had not the rcmotcst idea for whom they were voting nor what they were doing Taushwak, who marked Che ballots, was not even a member of the election board.
