MINISTERS OBJECT TO
KNITTING IN CHURCH

Springfield, H., Nov, s.. Knitting
socks fer soldiers may be a splendid
example Of patriotism, but it is en-
tircly out of place when mixed with
religion.
This lis the universal opinion Of
Springfield and other Illinois pastors,
when the suggestion Of Rev. MeEl-
vcen, pastor Of the First Congrcsa-
tional Church of Evanston, H., that
the fair sex bring their knitting with
them to church ON sunday was made.
II brought a Hood Of protests in Pc.
oria as well as here. The ministers
declared to do so would take the
mind from the devotional services.

causing an irreparable injury to true
patriotism, as defined by the church

LADS SUFFERING
QUIETED BY DEATH

The profound sympathy Of the com
nnunity is extended to Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Abel. in the death of their son
George. 16, which occurred at Mt.
Sinai hospital, Cleveland, Sunday
afternoon at / o'clock, where he under
wentan operation for intestinal trouble
the previous Monday.
AS stated in the Sentinel last week,
the lad had been a sufferer from this
trouble for many years, which ac-
cording to expert surgeons, is a rare
disease, usually causing death much
earlier inlife than in the case Of the
Abel boy. The operation required the
removal Of nearly two feet Of the large
intestine, form which the patient ral-
lied and appeared to be convalescing
for several days, when peritonitis de-
veloped and death soon ensued.
The father, Geo. Abel, pilot on the
lake vessels, and the mother, were at
the bedside of their son when he ex-
pired. The latter was a bright lad. am
bilious and energetic when not in pain,
and was popular with all who knew
him.
Funeral services were held from the
home, corner Of Grant street and Wads
worth road, Tuesday afternoon at o.
clock, by Rev. S. F. Dimmock Of the
Baptist church. Burial was made in
Spring Grove cemetery.

LAND Warrant SIGNED
BY JAMES MONROE

A very interesting document came
into the hands of C. S. Litchfeld last
week, when he purchased "a acres of
land out of a 160- acre tract in Cannan
township, Wayne county, Of the owner
VIM. Barnes of Creston.
1t was a land warrant, correspond
ing to modern warranty deed. issued
by the United States government to
James Barnes, father of VIM. Barnes,
bearing date of April 8, 1924, and the
personal signature of President James
Monroe. The warrant is engraved on
sheep skin, 16 x 10, and carries the
seal of the department Of government
lands, the name of Geo. Graham ap-
pearing as land commissioner.
In the ninety-three years since the
land was acquired by James Barnes,
it has never been in the possession of
any other person than VIM. Barnes,
who inherited it from his father, until
purchased last week by Mr.. Litchfield,
to whom was issued the first and only
warranty deed. To secure clear
title, Mr.. Litchfield of course required
the original warrant, which lay safely
filed away in the county archives at
the court house in Wooster.
While of course President Monroe
had occasion to affix his signature to
many similar warrants, this particular
one was signed just four months and
six days after his announcement to
Congress Of the three guiding princi-
Piles now known as the Monroe doct-
rine." (1) Taking UP dispute with
Russia, declaring that the American
continents were no longer open to
colonization by European nations; (2)
That the United States was not to
NEEDLE in the political affair of Eu-
rope; (3) That European govern
ments must not extend their systems
to any part of the northern or south
ern hemispheres, nor in any way seek
to control the destinies of any nation
of this hemisphere. The doctrine
proved effectual, and Russia, who had
sought to extend her domain, agreed
to it in 1924.
While having no connection whatsO-
ever with the land warrant in the
possession of Mr.. Litchfeld, the SINH
larity of dates lends to the ancient
document an added interest, especially
at this time, when the famous doctrine
of President Monroe is so frequently
proclaimed in our diplomatic relations
with old world powers.
Mr.. Litchfeld prizes the document
very highly and has refused large
sum of money for it. ~

day morning at the County Infirmary
where he had been an inmate for the
past year, after having been found in
a shanty near the B. & o. tracks in
Friendsville, suffering from a severe
paralytic stroke. The stroke affected
his voice and it has been difficult to
learn anything about the man. He
claimed to have been sailor on the
lakes, and to have spent some time in
the Marine hospital in Cleveland about
two years ago. Also he said he had a
cousin residing in Berea. Supt. Ewing
of the Infirmary spent Tuesday trying
to locate the relative, but was un-
successful. Funeral and burial took
place at the county institution We'd

LIVERPOOL TOWNSHIP
TO GET COUNTY MONEY

The persistency with which Liver
pool township trustees and citizens
press the county commissioners for
money with which to improve their
roads, is most commendable, and bids
fair to result successfully. Geo
graphically, Liverpool township is so
situated as to be deprived of state aid
in the building and improvement Of
it's roads, and the greater portion OF
it's present improved roads has been
paid for by the property owners them
Selves. It is for these reasons that
when the township, through it's rep
resentatives, asks the county for fl
nanciA assistance for road improve
ments, they are pretty sure to receive
a cordial and thoughtful reception.
For the last three weeks Liverpool's s
trustees have appeared before the com
missioners to press their needs, and it
seems now that their efforts have not
been in vain. While no resolution to
the effect was passed by the commits
sioners at their meeting, Monday, it
was practically decided to grant Liv-
erpool township $4,000, to be expended
for the improvements Of its roads,
first Of which will doubtless be the
east and west center road, running
east Of the B. & o. depot and con-
Meeting with the end Of the Bruins
wick road, for which the county sur.
yeyor was authorized to survey and
make estimates of the cost Of building
The road will be 8 feet wide and Of
concrete.
