Call drive this year will be Nov.2-11.

county in the u. S., will have its or

advertisement which carries real
message and should be read by all.
The slogan adopted this year is "a
Heart and Dollar" The quota for
the county has been set at $1965, but
it is expected that this amount will
be oversubscribed generously.
To state the many uses to which
this money will be put would embrace
too much space, but the activities of
this institution in the future as we'll
as the past is unlimited. Much funds
which is being carried on, while ex-
pansion of home service and divers
other needs will take much on this
side.
E. F. Gibbs is county chairman;
H. Y. Ziegler, publicity chairman.
The township chairmen are as fol-
lows: Brunswick, Mrs. D. M. John
son; Chatham, L. R. Wideman; Grang-
er, Clair l. Miller; Guilford, Mrs.
Fairchilds; Hinckley, Mrs. Bessie
Montgomery; Ha1risville, c. M. Crum;

The whole county is to be can
vassed next week and the committee
asks that the public have its dollar
handy so that the canvassers-who
are working without pay-nay lose as
little time as possible. This dollar
will pay for universal membership.
Last year 22 per cent of Medina citi-
zens subscribed, and this year the
committee has hopes the public will
go over the top with whoop.

SMALL OIL FLOW
ON KOONS FARM

The oil we'll on the Rooms farm was
shot shortly after noon Monday and
flow of oil found. 1t is a shallow
well and will do about two barrels a
day. Later, when it has been given
chance to develop, it may do some-
thing better.
Drillers cleaned out the we'll We'd
~nesday night in preparation for
pumping. Much sand and dirt caved
in when the well was shot, but this
has. all been taken out. The oil
brought up in the cleaning process is
of the best quality and hopes are ex-
pressed that when the operations
start in earnest the we'll may develop
near five barrels.

CHARGES AGAINST SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL ARE WITHDRAWN

Charges of assault and battery
against Walter Parks, principal Of the
Lafayette schools, were withdrawn
previous to hearing on the charge
which was scheduled for last Satur-
day morning.
As stated last week Parks was ar
rested on a warrant charging him
with assaulting one of his pupils, to-
wit Tony Vilk. The affidavit stated
that Parks had beaten the lad with a
rubber garden hose, causing severe
welts on his body.
Parks claimed that the lad had dis
obeyed the rules he had laid down for
the good and efficient government Of
the schools and it had been necessary
to reprimand him which was done by
means of a small syringe hose.
When arraigned on Oct. 18 the
school teacher plead not guilty and
demanded a preliminary hearing
which was set for last Saturday. Prior
to this time, however, Floyd E. Stine,
who was attorney for the complaining
parties, withdrew the charges.

ON BIRTHDAY OCCASION

Mrs. Clara Markle, one Of the pro-
prietors of the Princess restaurant,
was given a surprise Wednesday
evening as reminder of her birth
day. AS the lady is upwards of 16 we
won't publicly "stack the cards"
against her.
It was given as a Halloween fea-

the occasion were used. The party
was given at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. ROLAND Clement, 445 E.

BOYS DRAW fine
and JAIL SENTENCE
BUT THE LATTER WAS
IMMEDIATELY SUSPENDED
Chippewa Lake Youths Must Earn
Money to Pay Fine For
Stealing Coon Dog

Frank Bennett and Harold Standon,
the two Chippewa Lake lads who were
arrested a week ago Monday after
having been caught red-handed steal
ing valuable coon dog, the property
of Mrs. Jerry Smell, were arraigned
Saturday morning before Justice Of
the Peace Ainsworth, on affidavits
charging them with petit larceny and
were fined $25 and costs and SEN
fenced to Is days in the county Jail.
The Jail sentence was Immediately
suspended, however. In passing SEN
tence the court decreed that the fine
in each case should be paid, not by
the parents of the youths, but by the
lads themselves. They were ordered
to 60 to work before and after school
hours and on Saturdays and were al
lowed five weeks in which to earn
money. y
As stated last week officials were
disinclined to take a decided stand
when it came to preparing affidavits
against the lads. Although the dog
had been sold for SIS it would have
been grand larceny had this been con-
sidered, which would have made the
offense punishable by a penitentiary
sentence. The arrests were made on
Monday night and up to the time the
Sentinel went to press Thursday af-
ternoon no charges had been filed.
Later in the week, however, Mrs.
Smell was persuaded to sign affida-
Wits charging the lads with petit lar
ceny, which is punishable by much
lighter sentence. In making the
charge, it is stated, the youthfulness
of the lads who claimed to be but 18
years of age, was considered, and
which evidently had something to do
with the mitigation of the sentence
irnnnSed.

A delay was occasioned this week
when railroad officials moved car of

been heated when the "bull" was

VOTE YES ON THE
GOOD ROADS LEVY

Medina county voters will be
called upon next Tuesday to
register their vote for or against
the additional good road levy
asked for by the county COM
missioners.
Good roads mean progress and
prosperity, a benefit to the
country people as well as those
who live in cities. Good roads
like good streets, make habita-
tion along them most desirable;
andwhat should interest the far
mer most is the fact that they
enhance the value of farm lands,
as we'll as facilitate transporta-
ton. Pull Medina county out of
the mud.

settlement in this election. And yet
the very gravest problems in life

The greatest thing in this life is

and healthful surroundings. Some
little thing in this life, that looked
very small and inconsequential from a
distance, may be just the thing which
in the end makes for good or evil in
your home, and the homes surround
ing you. The choice of men in this
election may have to do with this
very matter, and on your choice may,
depend the future condition-whether
this seeming inconsequential matter
shall become great good or men,

which is to mar or gladden. Medina

There is but one duty that con-
fronts Medina citizens, then lat the
election Tuesday; that is to VOTE
FOR THE BEST MEN. It's up to you
to determine this, not for your neigh
bor to tell you or dictate to you. And
you can only tell this in studying
men and their past lives; in giving
the matter some consideration. And
the fact that you may have, in the
past, been herded or led by the in
dividual or the party is no sufficient
reason for following that plan this
year. You are year older this year
than you were twelve months ago;
it is duty you owe yourself to have
learned something in the interim; it
is your duty this year to exercise that
added knowledge and vote conscien-
tiously and with greater wisdom.
