BANNER YEAR PREDICTED

Indications are that 1917 will be
another banner year for the farmer
Certainly many experienced farmers
who have in the past been conserva-
tive are arranging to increase their
acreage by growing potatoes and 9th
er crops on the basis Of last years
success. Chances of higher prices
seem bright. No matter how bright
the future appears, a word Of caution
as to the dangers of increased acreage
without proper attention to soil fer
tility ought to be spoken of. The
crops of 1917 and the crops of sue
,ceeding years will require more thar
ever before, proper attention to soil
fertility and the returning of plant
food to take the place of crops. Man
ures and fertilizers are the means to
the end that productivity may be
maintained.

TAX ASSESSOR WILL
NOT CALL ON YOU

County Auditor McNeal received
from the state tax commission We'd
nesday the approved blanks for indi-
viduals to make return for their per-
sonal property.
This year, instead Of the assessor
visiting each individual, the property
owner must get blank at a conven-
lent place where the auditor will leave
them. The auditor may mail blank
to each owner or leave blanks at places
designated by him.
Copies Of the instructions to prom
erty owners were also received, one
Of which must be given each person.
They provide that all personal prop
erty be listed voluntarily, and do So
by May /.
Each property owner must make
his own tax return" the instructions
LOT the state tax commission announce
since the new law requires voluntary
4 The biahkS f6r We returns coli
tain much more matter than hereto.
fore. -Four page blanks are provided
| in municipalities this year also. Here
tofore they have been two page blanks
in towns because SO many details were
not required. Many more blanks are
required to be filed out this year,
In all 46 questions being asked, depend
ing upon the business and occupation
somewhat whether every blank must
be filed.
Besides, there are blanks for full
crop reports. and classification Of
household goods. Unless each Of the
questions is fully and specifically ans
wered "the county auditor shall not
accept the return" declares the blank.
Altogether the new lay introduces
q novelty in the manner Of receiving
tax returns, and the outcome Of the
new plan is watched with considerable
interest by taxing officials.

milk PRODUCERS
DEMAND RIGHT PRICES

That milk producers in northern
Ohio are intent upon getting the best
possible rate for their milk, was evi-
denced again by the results Of meet
ing held in Cleveland on Saturday, the
organization of the Ohio Milk Pro-
ducers' association in Columbus Fri
day, and meeting Of local milk pro
ducers held at the Sheriff's office in
Medina last Saturday night.
Five cents a gallon increase on last
summers milk prices was demanded
by the Northern Ohio Milk Producers
association at it's Cleveland meeting
Saturday. The association also de-
laanded 20 cents gallon for the six
month period commencing April /. The
price paid by Cleveland dealers during
the corresponding period last year av-
eraged about is cents gallon. The
scale agreed on for city retail deal
ers last December, after the embargo
on city supplies, has averaged % cents
a gallon wholesale.
The producers at that time demand
ed 20 cents, or rs per cent. of the A
cents gallon increase to the con-
suner, put into effect by Cleveland
dealers.
President John A. Clark and S. B.
Stoddard of the Medina auxiliary of
the Northern Ohio association, attend
ed the meeting at Columbus Friday
and report an enthusiastic meeting.
Uniform treatment and prices to all
milk producers in every county of
Ohio was the aim of the state or
ganization.
The meeting Saturday night at the
Sherif's Office was attended by about
twenty milk producers and a spirited
discussion of the milk situation from
its various angles was had.

c., S. & C. MEN WE'RE
NOT GOING TO STRIKE

The report late last week that there
was likely to be strike on the South
Westerns Green line, especially if a
strike was called on the steam roads
of the nation, now appears to have
been rather premature, according to
statements made by several motormen
and conductors soon after the reports
were circulated. There was trouble,
but the men themselves say it was not
because of dissatisfaction over hours
and pay, but because a. certain official
had been unduly harsh with them. 1t
seems that the affair was anlicably
adjusted at conference held between
the men and officials in Cleveland last
Friday.

ASKS BOYS TO TAKE
ODD ATHENIAN OATH

For the purpose of stimulating with
in them an inspiration to become clean,
courageous and loyal citizens, Supt.
Edmund issued the following circular
to the youths of the schools this week,
which is a most worthy one and may
we'll be needed by any boy, within or
without the school. The circular:
"After a strenuous course of train
ing lasting from birth till his eight
eenth year, during which time he was
subjected to many severe and painful
tests to prove his courage, loyalty, and
general worthiness every Athenian
boy took this solemn oath before he
could qualify asa citizen of Athens.
Patriotism is not dead in America
today; it has been covered up with too
much prosperity and great world
struggles like this serve to make us
mindful that we have a birthright rich
er than any other, dearer than that be-
slowed by old Athens. So hoping that
every student will learn this oath, con-
secrate it anew to the modern person
al application of ones relation to his
home and his school, his town and his
country we send forth this copy.---W.
IS. Edmund.
ATHENIAN OATH
eve will never bring disgrace to
this, our city, by any act Of dishon-
esty or cowardice, nor even desert our
suffering comrades in the ranks; we
will fight for the ideals and sacred
things Of the. city, both alone and
with many; we will revere and obey
the city's laws and do our best to in
cite a like respect and reverence in
those aboyeus who are prone To annul
or set them at naught; we will strive
INCREASINGLY to quicken the public's
sense Of civic duty; thus, in all these
ways, we will transmit this city moi
only less, but greater, better and more
beautiful than it was transmitted tc
us"

BUYING SUPPLIES

When the housekeeper was both
producer and consumer it was
necessity though a great care and in
convenience for her to keep large
quantities of bulk goods on hand
A large supply Of open foods is al
ways an unconscious temptation TO
the housewife to use more than neces-
sary. It creates an undesirable habit
Of extravaganza that will quickly
spread through ones entire manage
ment.
The chief waste in buying large
quantities OF food in bulk lies in the
fact that it is most difficult 10 keep
these foods clean and free from ami
mai formation. The careful house
keeper must be continually Watching
the supply and will often be obliged
TO throw away large quantities that
have become contaminated in spite of
her care.
One of the greatest present day OBJ
Jecuons to foods in bulk Is the fact
that they are not identified. You don't
know anything about the sanitary
conditions of the place they were put
up In and you have no way of finding
out. Tho housewives real protec-
ton at the present time and her only
guarantee of purity and wholesome
ness IS in buying products of a
standard brand

time. Your reserve supply will then
keep clean and absolutely free from
any contamination without attention
from the home manager.
Just figure IL out and YOU will see
that the loss from waste. extrava-
gance, Inconvenience and eXtravagant
habits formed far outweighs any
minor initial purchase saving.
