eGROCERS AGREE ON
CERTIFICATES DIVISION

The Medina County Grocers asso-
ciation which was formed on Tuesday,
Aug. 2, at Medina, at which about
fifty of the grocers of the county
signed up as members, held its Sec
ond meeting at the same place, on
Thursday night of last week.
The meeting was called primarily
to determine the most satisfactory
division amongst the county grocers
of the sugar certificates for $4,000
pounds Of sugar for canning purposes
allowed Medina county by the Ohio
Food Administration.
1t was unanimously decided that the
certificates should be distributed
equally among the grocers which
would allow about 200 pounds each. It
was anticipated that this plan might
not meet with the approval of the
larger dealers, but such was not the
case, the equal distribution being gen
orally favored.
A meeting Of the executive COM
mittee was held Tuesday night at Sc
vile to draft a constitution and by
laws for the association, and another
meeting of the association will be held
at Lodi on Tuesday night Of next week
Members holding the canning sugar
certificates are required to file them
with the respective jobbers with whom
they deal, and consumers can get
sugar from their grocer for canning
purposes only by first obtaining an
order from County Food Chairman
L. H. Randall.

2OS,OOO OHIO MEN
FIGHTING GERMANY

One out Of every seventeen men
in the army and navy of the United
States is from Ohio. y.
Approximately 2OS,0O0 Ohioans are
now in the armed service of the coun-
try in the war against Germany, and
that total does not include the large
army of workers for the Y. M. C. A.
and Knights of Columbus, nor the
women workers and nurses of the Red
Cross who have gone from Ohio to
the camps or to the front.
This summarization of the militant
participation fof Ohio in the war was
given Monday by Adjt. Gen. Roy E.
Layton.
These are Ohio's contributions to
the fighting forces of the country
compiled from official records in the
adjutant generals Office and from
government and state estimates.
Inducted under selective service law,
including $3.50 who will go next week,
122,655; Ohio national guard division,
27,000; volunteers in army, approx
mately, $4,000; volunteers in navy and
Marine Corps, estimated, 10000
Besides these noted, there have
been several thousand volunteers in
all branches and departments of the
service, the total number of whom
cannot be estimated. The adjutant
generals estimate of the grand total
to date is 208,000.

use OF AUTOS ON
SUNDAY STOPPED
ORDER EFFECTIVE EAST
OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Estimated Saving of 100000 Gallons
of Gasoline in Ohio
Every Sunday

All owners of gasoline consuming
pleasure vehicles in the states east
of the Mississippi river were called
on Tuesday by the federal fuel ad-
ministration to cease to use automo-
biles, motorcycles and motorboats on
Sundays, until further notice, to ex-
ercise rigid economy in the use of
gasoline until the requirements of
the army at home and in France
are met.
If the request is not complied with
voluntarily, mandatory orders restrict
ing the use of gasoline will be issued
by the fuel administration officials an
nOunced.
In the state, it was estimated, more
than 100000 gallons Sunday will
be saved and the total saving in the
states east of the Mississippi river
will approximate 24,000,000 gallons.
Besides conserving gasoline needed
for thousands of army trucks, tanks
and aircraft, compliance with the re-
quest will keep 100000 automobiles
in the garages and will cause millions
OF persons to seek other recreation
than pleasure riding as their Sunday
diversion.
The only motor vehicles to which
the restrictions, which are effective
for the next few weeks" do not
apply are tractors and motor trucks
employed in actual transportation of
freight, physicians vehicles used in
performance of professional duties,
ambulances, fire apparatus, police pa

themselves this week of the oppor-
tunity of buying War Savings Stamps

CONSERVATION OF SUGAR
URGED FOR CANNING

Six million pounds of sugar will be
issued this week thru County Food
Administration Committees, to Ohio
households for canning purposes, it
was announced Monday by Fred G..
Croxton, Federal Food Administrator
for Ohio.
To do this it was necessary to draw
upon the future allotment OF sugar
for this state but this step was de-
cided upon by the Food Administration
in view of reports from all over the
state, particularly from the rural
communities, that fruit is going to
waste because of lack of sugar for
canning. :.
at would be most unfortunate if
any fruit were allowed to 60 to waste
in Ohio this year because Of lack OF
sugar." said Food Administrator Crox-
ton.
"Sugar is, very scarce and we have
no assurance that it will not continue 1
Eta. be scarce until the first at the year.
Ag0salg tlsar alse IN mae .ot
getting our honor ration of two pounds
| per person per month for ordinary use
during the last two months of the year
than permit any food to 60 to waste
now, because of lack of sugar."
We most earnestly appeal to the
patriotic housewives to use as little
sugar as possible on the table. Use
only enough sugar in canning to pre-
serve the food; to preserve part OF
the supply Of fruits by methods re-
curing no sugar and to replace some
of the sugar, ordinarily used, with
other sweetners."
The certificates for this extra allot-
ment for home canning are in ten
pound denominations. They are sent
to the County Food Committees to be
distributed by them either directly te
| consumers or to the retailers at the
| option of the County Committee.
Believing that the greatest need fo1
the home canning sugar is in the
country and rural districts the. Foot
Administration is sending a larger
proportion Of the sugar to the rura
counties than to the cities and loca
committees are urged to see that tht
outlying districts are taken care o:
| where there is need for sugar for pre-
serving fruit.
There was distributed last weel
through local committees a total O.
1000, 900 pounds Of sugar for hom'
canning, in addition to the regula
\ August allotment to retailers, making
a tStal Of 100000 pounds for hom
canning.
Ohio's allotment for ordinary con
sumption for September is not in
tcreased over the amount issued to thi
state for August. This will be dis
!. tributed to retailers on the basis o
two pounds per person per month.

COMMISSIONERS MEET

There were not many items of busi-
ness transacted by the county COM
missioners at their meeting Monday.
The board received a check from the
trustees of Homer township
for $1,000 as partial payment for the
improvement of the Barberton- Green
wich road in Homer township.
Guy Zigler was employed to repair
the Burbank bridge wall and floor,
half of the expense of which is to be
borne by Wayne county.
The advertisement for bids for the
building of the Cutter bridge in
Granger township, brought no bidders,
hence no contract was let.
Bills approved amounted to $2153.67.

NEWSPAPER RESTRICTION
BEGINS next week

As announced in the Sentinel last
week the War Industries Board has
ruled that beginning the week of Sept.
l the amount of print paper to be
used by weekly newspapers must un-
dergo reduction of Is per cent, based
upon the monthly output of the news
papers for the previous year. The
war boards rule is mandatory.
However, patrons of the Sentinel
will suffer little by virtue of this
order. The established size Of the
Sentinel, as our readers know, is
eight pages, which size up to a little
more than year ago was maintained
ever since the paper was started many
years ago. In order to accommodate
its rapidly increasing advertising pat
ronage without encroaching upon its
news columns it became necessary to
add to the erstwhile usual number of
pages, and as we have stated our read
ers have been supplied with much
larger paper for considerably more
than a year without a corresponding
advance in subscription price.
These added pages have. in the main
been two each week that, t,ss, q stenspagH
paper Instead Of the established NUM-
ber, eight. But for number OF
weeks during the year the Sentinel
has given it's readers twelve pages
once fourteen pages and few times
as many as sixteen pages-all for the
same price, one dollar year. But
in providing it's readers with more
than an eight-page paper, the wal
board rules that such paper must af-
feet a reduction Of rs per cent. Thus
as will be observed, there must be
weeks when only eight pages can be
issued.
To conform to the recent ruling by
the War Industries Board the Sentinel
will be compelled to curtail the use Of
white print paper Is per cent. on the
monthly basis of the previous years
output. But, as will be seen, the
curtailment will also be made on the
basis of ten-page paper, instead oil
the original eight-page size. Thus oul
patrons will continue to receive a ten
page paper only at such time or time.
each month as will be necessary tt
accomplish the required Is per cent
reduction in paper for the curren
month.
Newspapers are also required tt
make other reductions, such as ceasins
sending out sample copies, exchanging
freely with other newspapers, and il
the issuing of special or industria
editions. 1t is likewise forbidden II
carry subscribers beyond the date t.
which their subscription is paid. This
however, does not affect the Sentinel
as it has been on a rigid cash-in-ad
vance plane for number of years, a
it's readers we'll know.
