MEDINA PLAYERS I.
LOSE TWO GAMES

Medina opened the base ball season
the past week playing three games
within FIVE days. Two of the contests
were lost, the home team coping one
only.
Owing to the fact that many OF the
players could not get tf for Satur-
days game a very weak team took the
field against Brunswick, and conse-
quently suffered severe defeat by
the score Of IA to 4. Arinitage pitch
ed a fine game for Brunswick and
deserved to win.
On July Fourth the Swift Com
pany'S team from Cleveland put up
two good games here losing the first
2 to / and winning the second 8 to 8.
The features of the morning game was
the pitching Of "Red" Harding, who
struck out IL men and allowed but
Eve hits. In the afternoon game
Houston was hit rather freely, and
loose support compelled his downfall.
Two fine audiences took in the
games on the national holiday leaving
q nice balance in the treasury after
paying expenses.

POTATOES DROP;
BREAD STILL HIGH

While market men and other dealers
of Cleveland were begging buyers to
purchase potatoes at $3.50 a barrel
last Friday, the price the same day at
Medina was $1.05 peck. A barrel
holds approximately three bushel.
This price is about the same as a few
weeks before when potatoes were sell
ing for $12 per barrel. Yesterday,
while the Cleveland market had re-
bounded slightly, potatoes were sell
ing IN Medina at 80 cents a peck.
Bread still hangs out at is cents a
loaf; altho flour has dropped another
dollar, selling as low as $12 a barrel.
The slogan seems to be 4get it while
the gettin's good"

KIMBALL LAW DE-
CLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL

County Recorder Rice received word
Tuesday noon that the Kimball law,
which was to have gone into effect
Tuesday morning, July 3rd, had been
declared unconstitutional.
The Kimball law as passed by the'
last legislature provided that fee Of
one-half of one per cent of each
mortgage recorded be collected by the
Recorder, the sum to go into the
county's undivided tax fund. Had the
law been held valid a large revenue
would have been raised at this office,
altho no direct credit would be shown
in the recorders report. Revenues
on Monday, had they been under the
new law, would have amounted to
about $62.
There was a noted increase Monday
in the number of mortgages filed
here as we'll as other places, holders
getting them recorded before the law
was to have taken effect.

MEDINA HAS QUIET FOURTH

Eliminating the fact that there were
two ball games in Medina Wednesday,
the Fourth could not have been called

their choice Of going to ball games,
horse races or the lake.
Fire crackers could be heard fire.

morning obtaining expressions from
various business men regarding the
granting Of parole to Henry Blakes-
lee now in the penitentiary, under an

case after July 81, and an effort will
be made to obtain full pardon. in
stead Of parole.
The official upon his departure, re-
ported that he had found sentiment
pretty evenly divided" but further
than this had nothing 70 say.

CLEMENCY BOARD WILL
WORK AT PENITENTIARY

The clemency board of Ohio, COM
posed of Price Russell of Creston and
A. E. Mckee Of Cleveland, has sue
ceeded the old Ohio pardon board,
the change taking effect July 1st.
The change in rules makes it nee
essary for the new board to come in
contact with inmates at the penal in
stitution differing from the old method
Of pardon board meetings but three
or four times a year. The new board
will have their offices at the peni-
tentiary. These two men will be
called to act upon the Blakeslee affair,
which will be threshed out about

BOY INJURED MOVING y MACHINE

The two-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmer McNair of Pawnee, was
badly injured last Friday when he was
caught in the blades Of a moving ma
chine.
The father was moving weeds near
the home and the little fellow got
down among them directly in the path
of the mower. The machine was not
stopped until the first finger and the
thumb on the childs right hand were
cut off and the left arm badly lacer-
ated. The hand had to be amputated.

pREPARAITIoN GOING FORWARD

PREPARATION GOING FORWARD
\ Preparation for the mobilization Of
the first eontingment of 625, 900 troops
for the new national army advanced
another step Monday when President
Wilson promulgated the regulations to
govern exemptions from military ser
vice.
In the order in which they must
come there are three steps in the or
lion national
army as pfescfl bed by cor esss q hey
are registration, selection and ex-
|emptiOn. The first step has been
concluded and approximately 10000,
600 men between 81 and 80, inclusive,
have been registered The regula-
tions issued Monday cover in detail the
Operation Of the third step, exemp-
ton. ~ 81
The exemption regulations an
riounced that the boards will be ad-
vised Of the selection process later,
although none Of the steps prescribed,
except the organization Of the boards,
can be carried on until the selection
machinery has furnished the names
of the men whose fitness and desir-
ability for army service the boards
are to Judge. There is one hint, how
ever, as to how the selection ma
chinery is to work.
The local boards are directed upon
organization to take over from the
registration precincts the cards and
lists Of the men registered on June
S, and as their first duty, to provide
a serial number for each registration
card. This has given support to the
belief that the selection is to be by
number. Reports we're current re-
Gently that the selection drawing was
to be made in Washington.
Presumably the process Of selec-
tion will be announced only a short
time before 1T is put in operation,
Sept. / has been the tentative date
set for calling the 6T5,000 men Of
the first contingent to the c0lors for
training. Progress with construction
of the sixteen divisional environments
for the troops will govern that ac-
ton, however, It is now believed
there will be no serious delay.
The exemption progress will not
take a great deal Of time. 1t is diff
ficult to calculate the time the local
board will need in passing on the
cards that come before them. The
regulations provide, however, that de-
cision in any individual case shall moi
be delayed more than three days by
the local board.

RECORDER GETS EXTRA
Ar MONEY FOR CLERK HIRE

County Recorder Rice, who last
week filed petition for $3.50 addi-
tional clerk hire, argued his case be-
fore the commissioners last Saturday
and was granted the amount in full.
The office of Recorder has done a
great deal Of work this year from
which it has derived but little fnan-
cial return, and the extra clerk hire
made necessary, has often been paid
by the Recorder out Of his salary.

GOLD FROM FLOOR TO CEILING
Wonderful Accumulation of Yellow
Metal Stored in the Assay Office
at New York.

The New York assay Office is now
the most important institution Of the
kind in the world. There is more gold
stacked up in boxes and kegs, in bricks
and bars, in bins and bags, than ever
before in the history of the country.
The assay office, says the New York
World, is the purchasing agent for the
government. Foreign gold, consigned
to banks and trust companies, Is
"cashed in" through the assay office,
British sovereigns, packed in boxes,
are piled as high as the ceiling. DOdg-
ing that golden bulwark, the visitor is
likely to bump into the cases full Of
French twenty francs that are piled on
the other side. Turning to reach the
elevator, he skirts row of gold bars,
packed five ten-thousand-dollar bars
to the keg, in sawduSt, and stretching
along the wall twice the height Of a
man.
All gold, of whatever nature, is melt
ed and refined to fineness of 999.5,
or finer, and cast into bars of standard
sizes. The value of each bar is ex-
pressed in United States dollars and
cents. Every bar and coin has to stand
the acid test.
There are 15 big melting pots at
work on gold exclusively. 1t seems al
most brutal to see the workmen scoop
shovelfuls of gold pieces from metal
boxes and dump them, one after an
other, into pot unit! it is full, and
then clap on the lid and wait for them
to stew
