LASTING MEMORIAL
FOR SERVICE BOYS

Since the beginning of the war 1t
has seemed very proper and fitting
that something material and enduring
should be done to commemorate the
service of our boys who have taken
part in this glorious world victory
over the Huns and autocracy. Every
boy who has been in the service OF our
country, no matter if he did not gain
the privilege Of being allowed to 60 to
foreign lands, should be honored in
some way which will be handed down
to the following generations. The
sentiment seems to be that this should
be county proposition, and in order
that this movement might be started,
L. H. Randall was made chairman of
a committee composed of Blake Nc
DowelE and Frank Woods, all of Me-
dina.
: Mr.. Randall is now appealing to the
people of Medina county to send him
the names Of every boy Of Medina
county that they know to be in the ser
vice oR ..ctf- csHnS4y; . wFe ether dis
charged and at home or still in the
service. This list will be checked up
carefully and printed in the county
papers SO that no oversight or omis-
sions of names will be made. 1t is
suggested that the parents or relatives
of boys in the service should attend
to the reporting Of the boys names as
soon as possible, that action toward
the elimination Of the plan may be
taken.

u. S. CASUALTIES 100000

officials at Washington estimate the
total casualties Of the American ex-
,peditionary forces in the war will not
exceed 100000, including the men kill
ed in action, wounded, died Of wounds,
disease and accidents and the missing
who never will be accounted for. Some
Of those who have been missing prob
ably will be accounted for when the
prisoners are returned from Germany.
1t probably will be several weeks
before the record of casualties can be
completed. X
An unofficial tabulation Of publish
ed casualty lists including those Of
Nov. 12, shows grand total Of 1890
men. Careful estimates, based upon
knowledge Of the battle conditions
faced BY the First and Second armies
in the days Immediately preceding ces-
saticn Of hostilities and on the average
lists heretofore lead officers To believe
that all unpublished and unreported
casualties will not exceed 10000.

Next Sunday afternoon at o'clock
central standard time at st. Paul's
Episcopal church, there will be held a
public memorial service for the late
Courtney Lawrence, who lost his life
in action in France on April 1 of this
year. This service was to have been
held several weeks ago, but was pre-
vented by the ban placed upon all pub
lie meetings by Health Officer Hard
ing at the outbreak of the influenza
epidemic in Medina.
The service lis rather lengthy one
adopted by this church for similar
memorials and is devoted largely to
patriotic features,
Courtney Lawrence was "a years old,
a brother of Charles w. Lawrence,
with whom he was employed at the
Medina Marble & Granite Co.'S works
previous to his enlistment. He en-
listed in the cavalry service in Cleve-
land, thereby gaining an earlier oppor-
tunity for service abroad. He went
into training at Camp Ogelthorpe, Ga,
and was transferred to the heavy ar
tillery. Later he was transferred to
Co. A, 26th Inf, and it was while
with this regiment that he lost his life,
He had five brothers, four Of whom
were with the allied colors. y

WOMEN JSE ENDLESS
ca xlS IN vs MI DRIVE

q Telephone wires will carry the mes
sage Of the United War Work Cam.
-paign to every woman of Medina coun-.
ty, according to plans Miss Florence
Phillips, county chairman of the
woman's division in the United War
Work Campaign, received from state
headquarters.
A conversation corps, modified by
the Woman's division will carry out in
every county Of the state, a unique adj
vertising campaign, presenting the
doubly vital demands for welfare and
recreation work among soldiers and
sailors now that peace is at hand. The
biggest and most necessary job be-
fore the American people today is to
provide our two million men overseas
with wholesome amusement during
the trying period of rehabilitation
this telephone brigade will explain.
These organizations represented on
the Ohio Woman's Advisory Council
of the United War Work Campaign
will form the nucleus of the telephone
brigade.
Each original member Of the brig
ade will telephone seven women about
the United War Work campaign, and
each Of these will be asked to tele-
phone seven others. 1t is calculated
that this endless chain will reach
thousands of women with a personal
message about the drive.
Medina county women are called up
on to support the campaign, not only
for the sake of their sons, brothers
and husbands in khaki, but for the
sake of French, English and Ameri.
can women "behind the men behind
the guns"

NOT MUCH DOING BY
COUNCIL TUESDASsst NIGHT,

The village council met in regular
monthly session and for the most part
it had settled back to the even tenor
of the early days. No report had been
received from the State Utilities Com
mission regarding a settlement of the
gas-rate-raise question, and there
was but little else to do aside from the
regular routine run of business.
Attorney Arthur VanEpp was ap-
pointed temporary successor to A. B.
Underwood as city solicitor until Jan.
The question of who shall pay the
cost of the proposed repair of the
sidewalk in front of the old cemetery
on East Washington street, was up
for discussion again, and wound up by
a motion that Solicitor VanEpp pre-
pare written opinion as to whether
the expense shall rest with the village
or with the cemetery trustees. The
latter have questioned their legal
right to use funds obtained from the
operation of Spring Grove cemetery
for the repair of the old burying
ground, particularly the sidewalk,
which is a public highway. The side
walk is in very bad condition.

BERT A. J. FISHER
RESULT OF RECENT
PARALYTIC STROKE

and vicinity will be sorrowed to learn
of the death of Bert A. J. Fisher,
which occurred Wednesday morning at
A o'clock, at his home, 603 East Lib

and was Cd years, 3 months and days
old at the time of his death. He had

Chicago, a profession in which he had
been successful, his trips having taken
him into every state in the union. Mr..
Fisher was of more than ordinary in
telligence and of marked literary
turn of mind. He was specially fond
of versifcation and oftentimes con-
tributed his poetic efforts to the Sem
tinel for publication. They possessed
merit.
Besides a widow and an adopted
daughter, Pauline, the deceased is sur
vived by two brothers, l.. O. of River
Styx and Elmer of California, and
three sisters, Mrs. Ed. Smith and Mrs.
W. H. Friedel of Wadsworth Road and
Mrs. Henry McFadden of River Styx.
Funeral services will be held from
the home today, Friday, at 1 p. M,
conducted by Rev. VIM. Drew, of the
Congregational church, of which the
deceased was a member. Burial will

PUBLIC OBSEQUIES
FOR J. BARLEYCORN

John Barleycorn passed away in
Ohio on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at the ripe
old age Of about 5000 years. He had
been IN failing health for some time
and his death was not altogether un-
expected.
On saturday night, Nov. 9, the body
followed by goodly sized cortege,
made up principally of enemies Of the
deceased, was conveyed around the
public Square and then deposited with
in the park fountain (also dry),
where one last look at the old cuss was
permitted before his cremation. Coun-
ty II. 9C. A. Secretary R. A. Stow
voiced his gladness over the death of
Uncle John, as did Rev. Bryenton of
the Methodist church, that mankind's 5
greatest enemy had at last been gath
cred tpShis fathers.
As the crematory fires died away
three cheers were shouted for the U.
s. A4Gnd the sentiment expressed
that The fate of John may soon over
take his relatives in the states that
are wet and that 1920 will witness the

organized a cow-testing association
with q members, and an organization
of the wool growers of the county is
now being formed. ..
Orchard work in the nature of prun-
ing and spraying demonstrations has
been attended by 1876 men.
The county farm management work
has been in the nature of an extension
of the use of farm account books. The
cooperation of the banks of the coun-
ty has been secured, and thru them an
effort is being made to place a large
number of books for farmers who will
endeavor to keep systematic accounts
the coming year.
Because of belief in interesting the
boys and girls of the farms in the
conditions that surround them, consid-
cradle attention has been given to
boys and girls club work. Approx
mately 100 boys and girls started work
in the clubs of the county, 81 of these
making an exhibit of their work at the
county fair, this being the first sue
cessful exhibit held in the county.
The war work that has been handled
by the agent has consisted of investl-
cations of machinery costs in the coun
ty for the past five years, methods of
selling hides and wool and the prices
received by the farmers.
The threshermen of the county were
called together and pledged themselves
to the saving of grain during thresh-
ing season. Monthly reports of wheat
+, threshed were furnished the agent,
who reported to the Bureau of Mark
cts.
There have been 1922 people in the
Office of the agent who have received
some definite agricultural information;
1863 letters. e75- circulars and s509- ls4l-
letins have been mailed; 229 farm WIS.,
its have been made, and 45 meetings
held in the interest of the work of the
Farm Bureau.
The report shows a rather extensive
interest in the work and the need Of
the active support of large number
of the farmers of the county. 1t shoult
| be remembered that the Farm Bureau
is the only official non-secret farmers
organization recognized by the govern
/ ment.

In proportion to its size, if any
other community in the United States
or on the face of the earth for that
matter exceeded Medina in the manner
and to the extent that she manifested
her joy over the signing by Germany
of the armistice terms and the con-
sequent ending Of the world war, a re-
port to that effect has not yet been
received.
Suspicious Of war-ending reports
since the picturesquely lying one pub
lished by the Cleveland Press on Thurs
day of last week, Medina people were
not slow in assimilating the genuine
article when it arrived, and at the
dawn Of Monday began to evacuate all
the pent-up anxiety Of the past four
years to make room for an eighteen
hour feast of unadulterated fun.
y. A few ominous yellS were heard
about town as early as four o'clock,
followed soon after by gun explosions.
At six o'clock the play was on when
the fire bell began to ring, which was
given no rest until IL o'clock Monday
night. The ringing of the bell and
the blowing Of whistles aroused all
the late sleepers and by 1880 o'clock
a parade had been formed Of three or
four hundred persons, men, women
left home, grasped anything with
and children, who as they hurriedly
which to make a noise and marched
the streets until the middle of the
forenoon.
That the demonstration should not
"die abornin'," number Of citizens
met at the Office of Attorney Arthur
VanEpp for the purpose Of formulat-
ing plans for a systematic and wide
spread good time Monday night. Com
mittees were appointed and definite
program outlined, the result of which
can be attested by the five thousand
or more persons from Medina and. all
over the county who had been notified
Of what was brewing here and who
came to enjoy and take part in the
gala occasion.
Delegations were here from Gran.
ger, Montville, Seville, Litchfeld anc
Lafayette, and many citizens from the
other townships of the county. Gran
ger brought the largest delegation, it,
appearance in the parade being heigh
tened by display of numerous ban
ners, chief Of which was one Of thu
Granger high school.
