HURRICANE SWEEPS
THROUGH COUNTY

A violent rain, wind and electrical
storm ragged in Medina for about an
hour on Thursday afternoon of last
week, and while doing no particular
damage here, it devastated a strip ,of
land for several miles between Leroy
and Burbank, upsetting school
wagon, injuring children, DESTROYED
parts of buildings and fiattened forest
trees, while lightning struck houses
and trees.
At Leroy, just as school wagons
bound for the south, were leaving the
school grounds, the storm struck, and
upset the wagons. The children were
hurt, but none seriously, and no bones
were broken. Maxine Steele, daughter
of Clyde Steele, was among the in
jured. The roof was completely torn
off Of Mr.. Steele's barn also, and at
the farm owned by Mayor Barnard OF
Burbank not far from the Steele farm
the porch of the house was lifted and
carried away. The force of the storm
was demonstrated in the yard of the
Barnard farm, where it twisted off a
tree three feet in diameter. At Chip
pewa Lake park most of the trees
where the G. S. e. w loop critters the
ground were fattened.
In Burbank Reed Whitmoreis house
was struck and the chimney torn dowr
and timbers split. No one was al
home, no one was hurt.
AT Congress a tree was struck by
lightning, but the storm was not sc.
we're in that section. At Burbank the
storm began to reach it's seyerest
and north from there to beyond Leroy
| it assumed the proportions of q hur.
ricane.
The worst damage to d farm house
fhanuened AZ arifg, 4 residence
NEAR Leroy. The house WIS badly
damaged, the roof partly torn off ant
windows blown in.
The school children in the two wa
gons had miraculous escapes. The
one wagon was on the main road west
of Leroy when struck and the ,othel
was turning to the southwest al
Booths corners near the same village
One wagon was blown over against 6
telephone pole and the top cut in two
The children were in the wagon, anc
were bruised and cut. The team at
tempted to run away, but were con
trolled by the driver. The other wagor

jumped through the sides, all badly
frightened. While cut and bruised
they escaped serious injury. Botl
wagons were going west, and were
caught by the wind from the south

THE FARMERS AND
THE LIBERTY LOAN

One aspect of the $4,000, 900 900
loan, the Liberty Loan of 1917, that
the farmers of America may well con-
slider is that a very great portion Of
the money raised by the bond issue
will come directly into the pockets of
the farmers of the Nation. .
All Of the money advanced to our
allies will be expended in the United
States and as they are making all Of
ltheir own munitions practically all Of
itlie money advanced Them Wfil be
Ispent for products of the farm-for
cotton for high explosives, wool for
clothing and leather shoes;but by far
the greater part of the money loaned
our allies will be expended here for
food products.
In few months the United States
will have under arms 100000 men
and 5000 reserves in training; so in
Guiding the Navy there will be 2,OOO-
900 men that our Government will
feed and clothe. This will make the
United States Government by far the
largest single customer the farmers of
America have.
The Secretary of the Treasury is
employing such methods in handling
the loan that no community will be
denuded Of money by reason of Lib
erty Bond purchases. The money
will be left in local banks and as
the Government purchases food and
supplies the money raised bV the bond
issue will pass back into the pockets of
the people.
The farmers of the country should
subscribe literally to the Liberty
Loan Bonds. They get the safest in
vestment in the world and their mon
ey supplies their best customer the
funds to purchase their products.
This is political economy the wisdom
of which is plain to everyone.

N. n. 5. GRADUATED
@ THURSDAY NIGHT

Forty.fve young men and women
graduated from the Medina high school
last night. They are Of the com
nunity's brightest and most promis-
ing young folk, and the exactions Of
modern school work gives US to under
stand the struggles they have endured
in order TO enjoy the satisfaction and
pleasure OF graduating achievement.
The names of the graduates of the
class Of III were given in our issue Of
last week VI ss
The first of the weeks graduating
activities was the annual baccalaure-
ate sermon, which was given last Sun
day evening at the M. E. church, by
the pastor, Rev. s. F. Ross. The speak
er chose very appropriate text
ENTER into life" taken from the Cos
pei Of st. Matthew 10Th chapter, 17th
verse. Rev. Ross made the most Of
his subject, and the church was filled
to overlooking to hear the message.
Wednesday night was given the
class entertainment, which was named
q pageant, comprising three divisions.
The first was entitled "The Coming of
the Cross, dealing with the time Of
the Druids; the second scene "Bold
Robin Hood" portraying Robin and
his merry men in the forest Of Sher-
wood; third scene gave us Hiawatha
and the red men; part two presented
the Landing of the Pilgrims, SO true
to history, that one could almost feel
the spray from the rock bound coast.
y "A colonial garden party was depicted,
In which fifteen took part, the Father
of his Country, DR.. Franklin, Lafay-
cite, Thos. Jefferson and other famous
men Of the old days, appearing char
acteristically, and as tho they were
there in person.
One of the most inspiring tableaux
of the evening was "The Spirit OF '76",
in which the drummer boy, the old
man and the wounded fifer was por-
trayed to perfection.
'The Days of '61," and "America
Triumphant" formed fitting climax
to the 1917 class pageant, and the
large assenblage of friends in che
tent ON the school grounds where the
pageant was given, attested their
pleasure Of the splendid spectacle by
enthusiastic applause.
The Sentinel regrets that it lacks
both time and space to note separately
the excellent work Of all those who
contributed to the successor the pag-
cant.
The class night exercises held last
night were d fitting finale to the splen-
did and spectacular performance Of
Wednesday evening. In program
which genuinely na1iitp1ioHs thru
0ss, per- haps sIleciai me Iltiotl il5dii lBe
made Of the musical selections of Leo
Bartunek and Mildred Ensign. Dale
Coons, who wrote the class poem, was
indisposed and the poem was read by
Marguerite Simmons. The class ad-
dress was given by DR.. W. E. Cham
eller, some time superintendent OF the
schools at Washington, D. c., and now
professor of Education at the Uni
versity of Wooster.
No one has been more interested in
a successful termination of the school
year than Supt. W. s. Edmund, and
to whom no small degree of credit is
to be given. He has been on the job
at all stages of the game and for the
past few weeks under great physical
disadvantage.

How We Stand in Respect to the
Things Necessary for War.

Industrial preparedness requires not
only mobilization of the resources we
have, but of those we haven T. Some
of these latter are 50 important that
without them we could not make war
at all. For instance; with all our
metallifcrouS abundance We are de-
pendent upon Canada for practically
our entire supply of nickel ore. Our
anthony, SO much used in making al
Toys, comes from China Ali the vast
supply of nitrates absolutely necessary
for our immense powder production is
drawn from Chilli If at war with
Great Britain, we should be without
nickel; if at war with Japan, we might
kiss antimony and nitrates good by for
season, along with some of our
island possessions. . . Aside from the
necessary commodities We do not pos
sess, at least one that is absolutely in
valuable lies exposed to enemy attack
This is sulphur, an ingredient common
to all high explosives. All the sui
phur in this country, except that found
| i'll bad eggs, comes from some beds or
the coast Of Louisiana and Texas
These beds are said to be in range Of

Count Bernstorff thought of it all we
