No. 8 is five cents less than above
and No. is II cents less. These
prices allow a three cent handling
charge for dealers.
On the government basis, at S2.ZO
at Chicago for No. l hard winter
Turkey Red), they figure as follows;
S2.2O less 8 cents for grade 2, S2.l1;
less 3 cents for handling, $2.14; less
30 cents freight, $1.S4 per bushel.
Many growers are not overly en-
thusiastic over the governments ac-
tion in failing to designate western
point at which the 1920 price would
obtain. Most of them would prefer
Portland. They feel that the COM
mittee Disseminated against western
growers by making them stand the
freight to the eastern seaboard. They
urge that if Great Britain can adopt
regulations which give growers in re-
mote provinces the same price as those
of more favored provinces, the United
states could do so. Their objection
does not run to the price, but to what
thew consider discrimination in taVor
of growers in the southern, central
and eastern states. If the same price
prevailed everywhere they would be
satisfied, they claim.

The wheat market reOpened yes
terday, prices being based on the
government price at Chicago, less
freight charges and handling charge
of three cents per bushel. Dealers
generally are not anxious to buy large
quantities of grain until all uncertain
ties concerning grading and deduc-
tions for smutty and other off-graln
are settled. The margin of three cents
a bushel is so close, one dealer said,
that he could not afford to take any
chances in having the government not
recognize his grades. The govern
ment takes one per cent, he SAID, 1or
supervising, which amounts to ~
cents per bushel based on the Chicago
No. ! price. If this comes out of the
dealers handling charge, which we
understand is the case, will leave but
eight-tenths of a cent a bushel, which
will not pay office expenses not TO
mention anything else. A small
leak in a car in transit, or a lowering
of our grade would leave us a loss OF
from two to four cents bushel. Under
present conditions it is not a question
of making money, but of existing that
confronts us, he said. The expenses
of the different concerns buying grain

THE PUBLIC FORUM


RIGHTS. - I am aware that we
have through custom and by law the
right to sell munitions Of war to any
nation that can buy from US. But
would it not be much better and more
humane if this great republic would
drop this custom and technical rights
and say to poor, suffering and bleed
ing Europe, l refuse to sell to any Of
you instruments that cause so much
misery and blOOdshed, for the chill
dren in your lands are the same as
the children in my lands.
If America was a weak nation she
could hardly take this step. 1t is be-
cause she is so big and so powerful
that she can afford to get out Of the
beaten path Of custom and prece-
dent. If America would do this, after
the war is over and the wounds are
healed the whole world would thank
her and look upon her as the nation
of nations.
A great many Of you will say Ger
many sold munitions to the FiipinOs
in 1898. And England sold to the
southern states il. 1852. What of it?
Cannot this big, powerful nation set
a precedent, or must we remain mar
row and unprOgressive and follow
presidents? To advance, nations,
like individuals, must set preCedents.
Only those nations and individuals
STEPPED in tradition follow prece-
dents.
If some of our ancient ancestors
had not been a little holder than his
millions of companions and set a pre-
cedent by getting down on the
ground we would still be living in
trees and dark caves. If it hadn't
been for such men as John Huss,
Bruno and Calico, ETC., we would be
afraid to move very far, as we had
been taught that the world was fiat
and we would fall off, and we would

lNG.-AU over the United States a

Most girls don't even know how
to treat a snake bite, and how could
they be useful in case of an emer-

ASKS $4,000 FOR
BREACH OF PROMISE

Common Pleas Court was in session
again Wednesday, the first case to be
heard being that of Mabel Reusch VS..
John L. Racine, Jr., in which plain
tiff sues defendant for $4,000 damages
for alleged breach Of promise to
marry.
Both parties to the suit are resi-
dents of Liverpool township. May II,
1914 (on or about), is named as the
date upon which the alleged mutual
troth was plighted, and since which
plaintiff AYERS she has patiently
awaited for defendant to get busy, and
now, after the lapse of more than
three years, it is evident that plaintiff
purposes the possession of John, or his
equivalent in dollars and cents.
Strange enough, however, John, in
his answer to plaintiffs petition, ad-
mits his promise to marry her, and
declares that he has at all times since
been ready and willing to fulfill his
promise.
The jury deliberated one hour and
returned verdict of $1.00 for plain.

MARY LIBERATED BY
MAYORS BLuNDER

Friday morning, Oct. 26, just four
weeks ago this morning, Deputy Mar
shal A. F. Hange conveyed John Bat
tles~and Mrs. Mary Foust to the work
house at Canton, whittier each had
been sentenced by Mayor Randall to
undergo imprisonment for a period Of
three months, on serious charges to
which both confessed.
John is still there, but Mary never
went any farther than the front office
of the "labor CASTLE" Upon reading
her commitment paper the officer in
charge informed Hange that under the
law a woman cannot be committed to
the work house for three months. and
refused to accept her at the institution.
Thus Hange had no alternative but to
fetch her back to Medina. He brought
her to the Jail but Sheriff Gehman
bucked on receiving her again at that
institution, without a mittimus, and
the devil was to pay for while. How
ever, she was finally permitted to re-
main there for the night, and then
there was skurrying about by the
mayor to rig up some way of getting
Mary off his hands.
AS there was no way in sight Of
getting Mary behind the bars, to mulct
hundred dollar fine from her seemed
the next best thing. Her husband
and brother, employed at the foundry,
and her aged father, signed an agree
ment to pay the fine, the former two
from their earnings, the latter from
his meager war pension. The agree
ment was negotiated in the office Of
Prosecuting Attorney Underwood,
those present being Mayor Randall,
Arthur VanEpp, the husband and
brother, and Mr.. Underwood. Mrs.
Foust was then brought over to the
office and informed of what had taken
place and warned that the three
months prison sentence would be
exacted if she is caught in any more
cuttings up.
Through official camaufage, or
worse, the newspapers have been de-
prived of this latest executive bad
break until now. But better late than
never.

wellington team
Beaten BY medina

In the best game Of the season thus
far Medina high schools foot bal.
team trounced Wellington at Medina
Friday, Nov. 16, by the sccore of 1910,
three touchdowns and one goal being
the total for the day.
It was one of those interesting
games, especially during the second
half, where there is something doing
all the time. However, Medina had
more varied attack and stone-wall
on defense, and deserved the victory.
During the first half the game see
sawed back and forth with neither side
able to score. The ball was in Yelling
toms territory most Of the time, but
Medina backed the punch to put it
over the goal line. Hartman's punt
ing featured the first half.
At the close of the second half Me-
dina came through with a rush. The
kickoff was carried back to mid
field and then Buddy Munson shot
round left end for IS yards. He next
received forward pass from Hart
man and negotiated good part of
the remaining distance, ending up on
the next play by shooting through
guard for a touchdown. Bartholo.
NEW missed the goal. Munson also
made the second touchdown in much
/. the same manner, and again Bar.
tholomew missed the goal, leaving
the score 1870.
In the last quarter Wellington re-
ceived the kickoff and after working
few short gains tumble was made
Stoup grabbed the ball and by skilled
dodging and fast running planted i
behind the goal post. Bartholomew
kicked goal, bringing the total up tt
10.
/ Near the close Of the game Yelling
ton intercepted a forward pass on tn
4 80 yard line and worked hard for ;
\ dtouch- but the Medina line he'll
and secured the ball on downs an,
| the danger was over, as the gam
ended after Medina had made coupl
of good gains.
! It was a good snappy game al
through and was enjoyed thorough,
| by the large audience.

MISREPRESENTATION
TO Y. N. c. A. fund

Again Medina county has done more
than was asked or even expected of
her. The minimum quota assigned
Medina county in the national cam
paign for the Y. M. c. A. was $10,-
900. Incomplete and unofficial fig
ures Thursday night gave total
raised during the week of $16,920.34,
more than so per cent. in excess Of the
minimum quota.
Of this amount Medina village con-
tributed $5640.50, the amount secured
by each of the five teams being given
below.
Wadsworth reported $5287, Chat
ham $9S.5O, Granger $3.50, Leroy vii
lage and Westfield township $675,
Spencer $50, Lodi and Harrisville
$1400, Litchfeld $319.50, Liverpool
$48, Lafayette and Montville $533.34,
York $116.50, Seville and Guilford,
$500.
These amounts do not include what
the boys and girls have been securing
in the various townships, and there
are two or three townships that have
not reported at all yet. 1t seems
probable that the final official report
will show total contribution to the
Y. M. c. A. fund of at least $4,000.
Much credit is due the canvassers
who put aside their own personal af-
fairs for the purpose Of securing sub
scriptions to the Y. M. c. A. war fund
and the splendid success they achieved
should be a source of pleasure to them
selves and the public generally.
