APPEAL TO PARENTS
TO SUPPORT LEVY
SCHOLL HEAD URGES
NECESSITY OF FUNDS
The Question to be Voted Upon at
the Election on
November 5.
(By Supt. W. E. Conkle)

On next Tuesday the people of Me-
dina are facing the proposition of
voting for a special School Tax Levy.
Upon the parents of Medina devolves
the responsibility of this levy being
either carried by a handsome majority
or being rejected.
During the past few years your
schools have been administered as eco
nomically as is possible and at the
same time have been kept up to a
high standard of efficiency. You have
as good schools as can be found in
Ohio in villages Of this size; you have
teachers that have their heart and soul
in their work and who-with scarcely
an exception-have rejected positions
elsewhere which pay better salaries
than they now receive, in order that
they may remain in this school sys-
tenn.
Wages in the past two years in the
industrial world have almost doubled,
yet, in the past three years the in
creased expense of educating the chill
dren Of Medina has not increased over
one-tenth. Despite all this, the schools
of Medina are not receiving enough
from taxation to pay their yearly ex-
penditures and each year shows a
substantial deficit. At the same time
we are spending less for school pur-
poses than are other places near us.
If this were for certain other viii
lage expenses, it could be met without
an appeal to the people. For instance
if it were for water or light the def
cit could be met by corresponding in
crease in the rate charged for the
commodity. With the schools the
only way to receive more funds than
they now receive is to submit the mat
ter, to the vote of the people for their
approval. r " "
Your schools do not want more than
is necessary to pay necessary expendi-
lures. / know your faith and belief in
education is such that practically every
parent in this village will safeguard
the interests of the children Of this
community by doing their part, Civ
ing them the best educational advan-
;tagesm Y in q, their power knew Yen
will give this naeasnfe yotlT stpport.
Medina village eanbcSd dying the ideals
Of the first settlers of "The Old Con
necticut Western Reserve" will sup
port always the cause of education and
wish always to have their village Sec
sond to none in the perfection of its
educational advantages.
Talk for additional funds for your
schools, and on November 5th, vote
for the Special School tax levy. In
the years to come the little folks OF
Medina will repay you by giving Me-
dina and the nation higher type OF
citizenship than she would otherwise
have and your town will continue, to
be leader in all things that make
for humanity's progress.

CANNING SUGAR GONE;
NOW ONLY z LBS. MONTH

On account of a recent ruling by the
National Food Administration, it is
necessary for Medina county, as we'll
as other states in the Central Divis-
ion, to put aside all canning sugar.
The new ruling keeps out from the
Central States all cane sugar which
has been coming into these states. No
more cane sugar will be shipped into
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, and it will be necessary for the
people of these states to depend upon
beet sugar for their two pounds per
month.
On account of the fact that nearly
all the dealers in Medina county have
exhausted their supply of canning
sugar, it was ordered that no more
canning sugar should be sold. It will
be quite necessary to conserve the pres
ent supply of sugar carefully in order
to insure two pound per month sup
ply through the coming winter. In
fact, it will be a question whether or
not we will have the two pounds per
month if we do not receive more than
the amount given us by the Food Ad-
ministration, which supply will be
produced by beet sugar which is raised
in Michigan, Wisconsin, and a small
part of Indiana. Medina county has
been in the very best position regard
ing sugar in a much better situation,
in fact than any ethEr coanty-in
Ohio" says County Food Chairman L.
H. Randall, "and we want to do all we
can to preserve the two pounds per
month supply and keep up our gfine
record of the past"

GENERAL MIx-UP BY
CHANGE OF Time
SOME CONFORM To
ORDER-OTHERS DON'T
Majority Seem to Favor Eastern Time,
According to Present
Indications

The rapid flight with which time
slips along has been noted from the
beginning, and the late Artemus Ward
struck it about right when he remark
ed that 1T beats --- how tempus
fugets." But in Medina since last
Sunday morning time has not only
been flying with unusual speed, but
has been flying in every direction.
So far as we can learn there was no
stampede by Medina people to adjust
their clocks to central time on the 9th
in accordance with the federal sug-
gestion, but sufficient number did
so as to produce neuresthenia in no
small number of local timepieces.
The town clocks set the pace for
central time, other clocks and watches
slowly followed suit, and others fell
for the same time right off the bat But
a very great many remained true to
eastern time and have sworn alleg-
lance until death do them part" The
result is that there is one fine mix-up,
with betting odds that eastern time
win finally win out.
All the local factories are retaining
eastern time, a majority of the busi-
ness places have agreed to stick to It,
and many householders express their
preference for eastern time and their
determination to retain it. The post
Office is running on central time, also
the railroads entering Medina, and a
number of the business houses.
Asked as to whether he would call a
special meeting Of the Board of Trade
to take some action toward recon-
1nending the adoption Of any particu-
lar time, Secretary l.. F. Carver stated
that he did not think he would do so.
It seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion that there is nothing to be done
but for Saach one to be law unto
himself in the matter, and from the
present indications it would seem that
is just what is being done.

nine weeks. Death was due to urem-
ic poisoning. She is survived by three

.DAvEY LOOKS FOR
l1th HOUR ATTACK
A LAST ATTEMPT TO
SWITCH PUBLIC THOUGHT
Kent Mayor Stands Firmly on Issue
of War for His
Election

On next Tuesday, voters of the
fourteenth Ohio congressional district
will elect either Martin l.. Davey, pres
ent mayor of Kent, or ex-senator Chas.
Dick, to represent them in congress
during the ensuing two years.
Mayor Davey, the Democratic can
didate, has made his campaign upon
the supreme necessity for electing a
man who will uphold Woodrow Wilson.
He is pledged to give the president
answering support in his policies OF
peace and war. He has declared that
war with Germany must end only with
Gerrnany's unconditional surrender
Dick, III his public statements, has
criticised the president. Dick, in pub
lie utterances, has declared peace
by allied victory is impossible and
advocated a peace by compromise.
Ex-senator Dick has made his cam
paign chiefly thru the columns of the
Akron Republican newspaper, the
Beacon Iournal. This newspaper has
seized every opportunity, both before
and since the United States entered
the war to criticise and villify Presi-
dent Wilson and the national admin
istration. Articles appearing in the
Akron Beacon Journal, supporting
Charles Dick and attacking Mayor
Davey, have been circulated in other
papers thruout the district.
Unable to find tenable ground on the
issue Of loyalty to the president, Dick
and the Beacon Journal have sought
desperately as election day approaches
to- drag extraneous issues into the cam
paign and divert the attention of the
voters.
The chairman Of the Summit county
democratic committee this week gave
oats Statement in which he declared
hew0um not permit any democratic
candidate to be drawn into mud-sling-
ing controversies that would obscure
the Vita questions at issue, as pointed
out by President Wilson in his appeal
tc&the country to give him friendly
congress with which to finish the war.
Yhs tight for congress in the 14th

self from his political grave. The
republican state publicity bureau has
sent out to its newspapers thruout 9th
er sections of the state an editorial
falsely accusing Mayor Davey Of de.
n6uncing all republicans as unpatri.
otic.
The interests which are trying tt
elect Dick are stopping at nothing il
their desire to muddy the waters ant
switch public thought away from the
vital things at stake in this contest.
During the closing days of the can
paign," Mayor Davey said in a state
ment which he gave out yesterday

made upon me for this purpose.

CRESTON MAN KILLED
BY TRAIN AT EASTON

Dorr Fullerton, BIS 0. section en-
ployee Of Creston, was killed Saturday
night at Easton, by being struck by
train. Suspicious circumstances sur
rounding his death are reported, one
being that he refused to show the con-
ductor his pass when asked for tick
ct, and was put off the train, which
was followed by his being struck.
Fullerton was about AS years Of
age and is survived by wife, three
daughters and son. He began
working for the B. & o. last summer;
previously to that he was employed at
Glesner's tobacco warehouse in Cres-
ton.
