to Belding and Orleans. The best
wishes of Mr.. Dety's many friends
will go with him and his family to the
new field. The Lansing church is
fortunate in securing such an able
speaker and whole-souled christian
worker to lead them.
Rev. Doty will be replaced here by
Rev. p. r. Norton, who comes from
South Haven. Rev. Norton has been
at South Haven four years and
comes highly recommended. He is a
young man of rare ability and much
dynamic force. At present he is
president of the state Epworth Lea
que department of the church and is
particularly active among young peo-
pie. Rev. and Mrs. Norton have two
boys.
Much concern WAS felt at confer
ence among the pastors as to where
they would be placed. Not until the
last day did the difficulties disappear.
Then the pastors were placed by Bish.
op Henderson with almost universal
satisfaction. Rev. Doty is well pleas
ed with his appointment and Rev.
Norton is enthusiastic over his ap-
pointment to Belding.
Other appointments of interest to
Belding people are also given: Rev.
w. III. Phelps of Lansing is retained
as district superintendent. Rev E..
c. Hoag goes from Ionia to Trinity,
Grand Rapids. He is followed at
Ionia by r. j. Slee. R. V. Birdsell

VETERANS. SONS AND
DAUGHTERS ENJOY VISIT

The Sops of Veterans and Daught-
ers of Veterans had a gay time out at
George Phillips Friday night. Sever
al auto loads drove out there and
spent the evening in very pleasant
way playing games and having an
old fashioned visit. There were
thirty-five present as many as the
house could hold comfortably, but
hardly room enough for a dance.
Clyde Cooper and Frank Davis en-
livened the occasion with music on the
banjo and violin. Refreshments of ice
cream and cake closed the program
about twelve o'clock.

SURPRISE MEMBERS

Last Friday evening a jolly crowd
of about thirty members of the Sons

surprise, but they soon recovered and
gave them all hearty welcome.
The evening was spent In visiting,
games and some beautiful music rem
dered by Clyde Cooper and Frank

Mention was made elsewhere that
the City Bakery would bring out q
new bread next week. The bread is
now out and it is too good to keep
secret another week. 1t is called
Liberty bread and is most delicious.
A big light, fluffy loaf it is also most
healthful. Being composed partly of
oat flour it is different and then, too,
the wheat flour is left for the soldier
boys. One bakery in Minneapolis
makes 1000 loaves day just like
the ones the City Bakery makes ex-
cept not quite so good. Get the habit
Of calling for liberty bread Of your
grocer. See the announcement else
where.

Frank Sandy on Visit

Frank Sandy has gone to Bryan,
Ohio to visit cousin whom he has
not seen for sixty-three years and
one whom he had not heard from
until recently. His visit, there is the
result of strange coincidence.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Sandy saw
an old soldier get off the train here
in changing cars ard in conversing
With him ascertained that he was a
member of his old company and re-
sided in Bryan, Ohio, and that he had
a neighbor by ths name of William
II. Sandy, who, too, was an old Id
ier. From this cue Frank wrote him
and soon received reply that he was
the cousin sure enough and invited
hnm &c his home.
Undoubtedly they will have an in.
teresting visit.

SEED POTATOES ON
| WAY TO Medina

A car load of seed potatoes has been
ordered by the county branch of the
national defense organization and will
be received here within the next Few
days. The seed comes from Paw
Paw, Michigan, and has been ordered
through T. A. Farrand, county agrI-
cultural agent, who is an employee
of the U. S. government
The potatoes will cost $3.50 per
bushel in sacks at Paw Paw, which
means they will cost about $500 de-
livered here at Medina.
Those living at a distance can ar
range to get their seed in parties, thus
avoiding the necessity of having sew
eral from the same locality drive a
long distance. Leroy has arranged
to send truck after the seed needed
there, and doubtless other sections will
do the same.
When the seed arrives, notice will be
phoned to the township man, who ir
turn will notify those in his neighbor.

Equity CASE HEARD

A case in equity, the first held here
in a long time, was heard Wednesday.
Judge Dayton Doyle of Akron, presid-
ing. The case was that Of S. P. AL
bert of Lodi against J. A. Rooms of
Medina and Harry Rice, and has been
in the courts for some time. Koons
and Rice are said to have sold Alberts
some fertilizer amounting to about
$40. Subsequently Alberts removed
to Elyria and Koons and Rice sought
to garnishee Alberts' wages for the
bill. Alberts secured a temporary
restraining order and in the hearing
Wednesday, through his attorney, ar
gued to have the injunction removed
claiming non-jurisdiction and that fer
tilizer is not a necessity. A peculiar
thing about the case is, SO we are IN.
formed, that Alberts does not deny
that he owes for the fertilizer. Judge
Doyle reserved his decision.

AKRON ITALIAN HELD
FOR CARRYING WEAPON

Joe Caruso (no relative of the fa-
nous Italian tenor) Of Akron, was ar
rested last Saturday night in Wads-
worth, and by Mayor Boyer was bound
over to the grand jury on a bond of
81 900, on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. He was subsequent
ly brought to Medina and lodged in
the county Jail.
The circumstances leading to his ar
rest, as related by those who were
present, are, that Caruso had spent
the day in Wadsworth with fellow
countrymen and, while waiting Satur-
day evening for car to Akron, walk
ed aimlessly about the station. An Of
ficer regarding Car1so's actions as sus
picious, arrested him and, upon search
discovered a revolver.
Attorney G. D. Wightman was re-
tanned as counsel for Caruso, Monday
morning, and the bond was reduced to
$500, which was signed by Sam Ar
ego and Joe Garafalo, and accepted by
Probate Judge Van Deusen. Dominic
Cacciola, for the attempted murder OF
whom year or two ago Sam Butto
served term in the Mansfield re-
formatory, accompanied Arego and
Garafalo to Medina as Interpreter.

SAY TAX LAW WILL
PROVE MONEY SAVER

Declaring that Ohio's new tax law
is the "best in the history of the state"
state tax commissioners cite facts
showing that: In twenty-one of the
sixty-three counties, made more re-
turns than assessors in 1915.
The real success of the law is not
only in the number of persons making
returns, but also in the amount of tax
able property returned.
Practically every county shows an
increase in personal property, way
beyond the amount anticipated by
county auditors, and that the new
tax law is going to prove a big mon
ey saver to the taxpayers and the
state.
A report issued by state tax com
missioners shows the increase to
range from 16 to 60 per cent in city
and rural districts.

usual ability in boys work, will speak.

BOY in HARD LUCK is
BEFRIENDED IN MEDINA

Alone, almost penniless, and physic-
ally exhausted when he reached Me-
dina, Joe Freeman, 17-year-old boy
from Lawrence county, o., presented
a pitiful appearance last Friday after
noon. According to his story, Joe left
home two or three weeks ago with 9
show cmpany, but had been SO mis-.
used that he abandoned the troupe OF
Its arrival Ia Cleveland, and scugh'
|. Y silt. Ii aa Enplop
ment bureau directed him to Medina
where he was told he could find em.
ployment as farm hand with Ethar
Conant Of Granger, and that the dis
tance from Medina to the Conant
farm was short, which Joe could easily
walk.
Arriving at Medina, Joe inquired
at the postofice the location of the
Conant home, and when told it was at
least eight miles from here, he stag
gered and nearly fell. Postoffice en-
ployes notified Conant. but the latter
was unable to come to Medina until
Saturday morning. Meanwhile Joe in.
quired for the Secretary of the Y. M
G. A. Secretary Stow authorized Joe
to spend the night and get his supper
and breakfast at a local hotel.
On entering the postofice Saturday
morning, an employe discovered Joe
sitting on the floor with an appear
ance of abject dependency. He con.
fessed to having had no supper OF
breakfast, because, as he said, he
would rather deny himself than accept
the assistance of strangers. Never
theless, the postal clerks wouldn't
have it that way and made up purse
sufficient to bolster up the boys
stomach, finally persuading him to ac-
cept it.
Joe's physique would indicate that
he was untitled for the hard work OF
farm, and when Mr.. Conant came
to get him, the former told Joe ne
couldn't use him. The poor boy lost
heart again. But Secretary Stow came
to the rescue and found him temporary
