Crop Failure Disheartening.

Failure of the grain crop in some
OF the northwestern states and in west
ern Canada was referred TO as a rea-
son why, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, the factories would have
to be cautious in their operating pro-
gram during the next few months. Be
cause of a limited demand due to wide
spread drouth in sections Of the north L.
west, it was stated today by the fac
tory operators, If they should open
now, there is a question whether they
would he able TO take back very much
more than one-haif their former force,
at least for some time to come.

CARRIER IS ARRESTED
Said To Have Opened Letters And
Taken Out Soldiers Checks.

Earl Ryland, former city mail car
rier of Wadsworth, was arrested at
Barberton Monday by Marshal Lucas
and charged with several crimes and
misdemeanors ranging from opening
letters containing bonus checks to
soldier boys, to forging names on
checks which he had cashed. He was
brought to Wadsworth by Officer
Lucas and is now in Jail. Postmaster
Ault notified the postoffice department
at Cincinnati and an inspector is on
the way to take charge. He will like
ly be given hearing before the
United States court at Cleveland.
1t is said that Ryland has made a
partial confession as to opening the
letters which clears up the mystery
as to why Kenneth Mills, Frank Farr,
William Caine and several other
Wadsworth soldier boys did not re-
ceive their checks for the $50 bonus
from the government. 1t is reported
that Ryland became conscience strick-
en- over the acts committed and re-

1T ALMOST INVOLVED
THE UNION DELIVERY

The theft last week of six dollars
from the home of w. A. Clement of
North Broadway, came very nearly
involving Medina's Union delivery
service.
Mrs. Clement was just leaving the
house when one of the delivery
wagons stopped in front of her home
with an order of groceries. She re-
entered the house in order to open the
back door and hung her pocketbook
containing about six dollars over a
chair just inside the front door.
AS she was leaving the kitchen
Mrs. Clement heard the front door
slam and hurried in only to find her
pocketbook Snissing. She Immediately
went to the telephone but was unable
to locate any village officials. Dan
Pelton was then notified and he set
out in pursuit of the delivery wagon,
which he located further down the
street.
Both the driver and young lad
who was helping him denied all
knowledge of the theft until informed
that both would be arrested, when
the younger , lad admitted that he
had entered The house and taken the
pocketbook while the delivery was
being made.
Dan recovered the pocketbook and
took the culprit before Probate Judge
Van Deusen, who in the absence Of a
charge of any kind, was content to ad-
minister a severe lecture.

WADSWORTH TO BUILD
ICE STORAGE PLANT

According to reports from Wads-
worth that village contemplates build
ing an ice storage plant this win
ter which will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. This will be built in
order to keep the municipal ice plant
running for longer time each year
than has been the case, as when the
demand for ice ceases the plant has
been forced to suspend operations.
Village officials estimate that ice is
now being made for 80 cents ton.
The lowest price any is sold at is
$6 ton, leaving very nice profit.
The ice is made from exhaust steam
from the electric light and water
works plants. This low cost of pro-
duction, however, is made possible
only by the fact that the villages
method of bookkeeping does not
charge any overhead expense to the
ice plant, the ice being considered
simply by-product.
The village recently received an Of
fer from the Match factory in which
the latter agreed to purchase the en-
tire output of the plant and deliver
it at $6 per ton.
According to village officials state
ments the ice plant cost in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 and their method
of bookkeeping shows a net profit of
$1,000 for the three summer months
this year.
If the storage building as now
planned is built, the plant will make
enough ice in the spring and fall
months to take care Of twice the nor
NAL demand during the peak of the
ice season, which generally comes in
June, July and August.
It is estimated that revenue of
about $4,000 per year will be OBJ
tanned from the ice and storage plant
while the total cost of both will not
exceed an investment Of $4,000.

ROAD NORTH AND SOUTH OF
BRUNSWICK WILL BE CLOSED

The Cleveland road, both north and
south of Brunswick, will be closed,
probably within a week or ten days.
But it won't be for any length Of
time.
The reason for taking this action is
due to the fact that the Mellert-W Weld
ner Co., is receiving more material
for the under layers and this will fin
ish the bottom part on the strip south
of Brunswick before enough material
arrives for the top course, This will
necessitate placing the bottom course
on the road north from Brunswick
for some time before the south strip
is finished.
-Four trucks are at present engaged
in hauling material. These each make
30 trips in "a hours, carrying load
of 6a tons on each trip.

SAVE YOUR PENNIES,
FAIR'LL SOON BE HERE

With Chautauqua out of the way
the next big event which Medina and
Medina county people are looking
forward to is the annual fair which
will be held on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday, Sept. 9, 10 and H.
Race entry blanks are being sent
out by the secretary, F. M. Plank,
who anticipates large number of
entries this year, as the race en-
trance fees have been changed so that
money winners only will be forced to
pay. The fee will be based upon the
sum won.
The price Of admission has been in
creased from 30 to 35 cents, and if
the weatherman favors the fair this
year, substantial profit is looked
for. Last year the Red Cross re-
ceived five cents on each ticket and
the attendance the second day was
total failure, owing to heavy
downpour of rain. The price of grand
stand tickets will remain, as formerly,
at rs cents.
Three race events are scheduled for
both Wednesday and Thursday. On
Wednesday there will be the 2:27
pace, 2:22 trot and 2:21 pace; on
Thursday the 2:28 trot, 2:16 pace and
2:18 trot. Purses of $500 are offered
for each race, best three heats out
Of five.
A new feature this year will be
the educational department under the
supervision of the county agent anc
the county school superintendent. This
consists of the work of the boys anc
girls clubs of the county. an extended
notice of which appears elsewhere il
this issue, and exhibits of the worl
done in the county schools. These ex
hibits will be held in the dining hall.
Meals will be served as usual bu

Following the closing of Wednesday
afternoons chautauqua program a
meeting of last years signers was

rangements for Medina county SOL
diers' and sailors homecoming met
last Friday evening and outlined the

the outgrowth of public meeting
held in the court house and is COM
posed of j. w. Seymour, L. F. Gar
yer, Walter Fenton, Dan Pelton and
Blake Mcdowell. Carver is chairman
and Seymour secretary.
Much care was taken by these five
men in selecting the various commit
tees, as the success or failure of the
celebration could easily be traceable
to good or bad selections of the var
ious working units.

H. Mcclure, Mrs. Bessie Hewes and
DR.. W. F. Wise were named as mem
bers of the committee on general ar

ports of the other committees and are
free to appoint as many commit
tees as they desire. 1t will also be-
their duty to set the date for the cele-
bration. 1t was thought probable that
the last of the Medina boys will be
home about Sept. 20. A meeting of
these five members will be held some
day this week.
