The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1918-10-18

That Medina county will overtop
her Liberty Loan quota by Saturday
night is not doubted by those who
have the campaign in charge, notwith-
standing that many townships have
not yet reached their individual quo
| tas.
The county quota will not be reached
or oversubscribed, however, says the
committee, without extraordinary eff
fort during the next "a hours.
1t is impossible to give the amount
OF subscriptions by townships this
week, as the banks have not had time
to make the classification.
At Thursday noon only the follow
ing townships had reached their quo
tas:
Spencer, Medina township, Litch-
field, Sharon, Granger, Wadsworth
township, Liverpool township, and
Wadsworth village.
Reports from York ,Hinckley, West
field, Brunswick and Montvilie town
ships indicate that those townships
will probably raise their quotas, tho
they have considerable to do before
that end is achieved.
Homer, Chatham and Guilford town
ships are hopeful and concerted ef-
fort is ching made by the committee
men there to put the quotas across,
and the same may be said of Harris
vile and Lafayette There is much
yet to be done in these townships,
however.
Medina village with a quota of
$148,40 had subscribed Sal 800 up to
Thursday morning leaving a shortage
Of but $7,10O The local COMMITTEES
expresses no u ss5 HI n.
beng subscribed before the campaign
closes.
AS stated last week, the Medina
Machine Co. comes to the front as a
ioO per cent shop, while the Henry
Miller Foundry Co. lacks only two
or three of being in the same class,
also the A. I. Root Co., all of whose
, employees, except very few, bought
bonds. Those in both establishments
who did not buy had excellent and
satisfactory reasons for not doing so.
! The Boy Scouts canvassed for onlv
two days, but obtained subscriptions
amounting to $4,000, divided as fol-
lows: Troop l AZ bonds, $4,000: troop
2, 124 bonds, $13,25O; troop 3, IS
bonds, $3,45O. Only a small percent
age of the Scouts canvassed, Law
renee Hemmeter having the best sue
! cess.
,, The Women's Committee of the
Loan sold $50 bonds, totalling s3O,S5O.
One hundred and seventy-fve of the
bonds were for $50 each.
A public meeting was advertised
for last Saturday night at Valley CITY.
to be addressed by Judge C. A. Weiser
OF Wooster, but was subsequently CALL
ed Off as precaution against Spanish
influenza. On Saturday afternoon.
however, it was decided to hold a meet
ing and Attorneys Frank Woods and
j. W. Seymour of Medina volunteered
to divide honors as speakers. The
meeting is reported to have been an
enthusiastic one, in which several Liv-
erpool citizens participated, exhorting
their fellow townsmen to invest in Lib
erty Bonds. Among the local speak
ers were Joseph Stebel and John
Meyer. At the close of the speaking
Bruno Stebel suggested the singing of
America, the grand old anthem be-
ing taken up by every voice present
and resounding half way to Bruns-
wick.
John W. Fulton, W. H. Hobart, N.
.. Fuller, and Privates Bilonsetti and
Green visited Chatham, Homer, Lodi,
Harrisville and Seville on Wednesday
and assisted in the closing work of the
campaign in those townships. At
Chatham eight citizens promptly SUBJ
scribed for $500 each and volunteered
to seek twelve more to do likewise.
A meeting was held at Seville We'd
nesday evening, at which the band
played, and many attended. At Homer
the men took advantage of a large
crowd at public sale land while no
subscriptions were taken, several good
promises were obtained.
