FEAST OF EASTER DULY
CELEBRATED IN Medina

Easter reached us little later this
year than it did last Spring. The event
in Medina was elaborately celebrated
by the churches and large audiences
were present. Easter is the greatest
festival of the Christian church, and
always figures in the popular mind
with the beginning of Spring and the
period Of the arrival of song birds and
the advent of flowers. A good many
flowers were in evidence at all the
services in the churches here Sunday.
The association between Easter and
the advent Of the earth's annual res
direction is only for the peoples who
reside north of the equator. They are
for the United States and the coun-
tries of Europe, but not for those who
are below the earth's great central
girdle. The people of Brazil, Argen-
tina, Chill and Australia lack this CO.
incidence of Easter and Spring. With
them Easter day, the summer is end
ing and fall is setting in; the growing
part of the year has passed, and the
period of maturity and death has ar
rived. Only the peoples north of the
equator were prominent enough in the
early days of the Christian church to
have a voice in the naming of the holi-
days, or to have a hand in making the
law for the world.
Thus altogether aside from it's relig-
ious meaning and lessons, Easter has
physical meaning for the greater
part of the earth's millions of people
1t marks the beginning of the most
attractive season, and consequently
has a scenic distinctiveness and ac-
compartments which the rest of the
holidays lack. The out-of- door worle
puts on new beauties, even in crowded
cities. Walking and the rest of the
exercise of the open now become g
physical pleasure. The somber, silent
birds of winter have gone and have
been succeeded by warblers of greater
beauty and sweeter song. The entire
outer aspect Of life is changed. There
is cheerfulness and gaiety in existanct
at this time beyond anything which
any other part of the year offers
In fuller measure than at any othel
season we have the best of natures
favors showered upon US. Easter has
outward attractions and presents
claims for popular remembrance no
possessed by any other holiday, relig
ious or secular.

talk being largely of the experiences
any aviator would encounter in battle.
He did, however, mention specific in
stances in which brother air men sac
rificed their lives in sky battles
against numerous odds.
At the close of the meeting the To-
cal committee served light lunch.
No reports have been received yet
regarding the number of bonds al
ready sold. 1t is hoped by next week
that the various townships will have
these in shape for publication.
Meetings scheduled are at Seville
town hall this evening at 7:30, when
Kirk B. O'Farrell, of Cleveland will
give an address, and another at
Brunswick town hall Wednesday even

On Sunday afternoon the Liberty
Loan picture, "The Price of Peace"

NEFAxEs DUE
| I after MAY /
AVsLuxuries Hard Hit By United
States Levies.

Medina County people will need an
extra supply of pennies after May 1.
Uncle Sam will take them to help
pay for the war.
Every dime at a soda fountain or ice
cream parlor on and after May l calls
for an extra penny on the counter to
pay war tax.
The tax on ice cream and soft
drinks is only one Of the many which
will go into effect under the revenue
act on May l.
The most important of these are
the so-called luxury taxes"
They call these luxury" taxes but
the commodities taxed are not all lux
uries. Congress intended the taxes tc
fall on the rich and the well-to-do peo.
pie of the country, but some of then
will fall just as heavily on the great
80 per cent of the population repre-
sented by the middle classes and the
poor.
For instance, after May / there
is tax Of / per cent for each 2t
cents worth Of proprietary medicine
UOuSut, WHCtIlCI pms, CespACIo, PoW
ders, sirups, tonics, plasters, salves o.
ointments.
The same tax will apply to tootl
powders, hair dyes, hair restoratives
toilet waters, perfumes and other toll
ct articles.
Carpets and rugs are taxed 10 pc
cent on the amount paid over SIS ;
square yard. That is, on 10 squar,
yards of carpet at SIS a square yard
or $50, no tax is paid. But if you pa!
Sc square yard for yards, or $50
you will be taxed 10 per cent on tina
extra dollar a yard.
Another "luxury" tax IS that on mo
+, tion pictures, which requires ever.
person leasing films for exhibition t.
pay monthly tax of per cent of tn
amount his films produce in rentals
This tax will be added to that al
ready being paid by the public on ad
missions to motion picture theaters
In many cases it will double the pric
of movie tickets. ...

COURT OF APPEALS
I HEARS TWO CASES

The court of appeals were in Medina
long enough Monday to hear the evil
dence presented in two cases, that of
r. S. Nosker VS.. Levi McCutcheon, err
ror; and the case of Mary j. Rice and
Frank Rice VS.. John Marsh ct al, err
ror. No decision was made in either
case.
In the case Of A. G. Vann VS.. Will
liam R. Miller, leave was given plain
tiff to file brief by May "a, and de-
fendant was allowed until June /, to
do likewise. This case will be heard
some time in June, probably at Cleve-
land. Vann sold his real and personal
property in Medina and has departed,
leaving Miller holding the bag SO far
as collecting his recent judgment.

GET YOUR TAX
RETURN IN ON TIME

May l is the time limit set for re-
turn of personal property blanks, if
you wish to obtain the $1OO exemption
No extension in time will be made.
About 5000 blanks were sent out by
the auditor, less than third Of which
have been returned.
Two hundred returns picked at ran
dom show a total return of $272,070
for this year, against $242,29O last
$3.50 per return.
A question regarding the listing of
non-taxable bonds has arisen lately
and altho the laws under which the
auditor must work are plain, never
theless, he has written to Columbus
regarding them. The case is this:
On taxing day last year person
listed $1,000, for instance, as money
in the bank. Later in the summer this
money was put in non-taXable Liberty
bonds. Now the state taxing officials
ask how long you held this money in
the bank after April before it was put
in bonds, so that a pro-rate tax may
be levied. This would look proper,
but you paid the tax for the first six
months of 1918, last December and, re-
gardless of your return this April, will
pay for the last half of 1918 in June
of this year.
Thus the question Of double taxa
tion has been brought up. Auditor
McNeal has no alternative but to fol-
low instructions, which are sent out
from the state taxing commission.
It's another case of bungling legisla-
tion.
Later in the week Auditor McNeal
received letter from the state offic-
ials which contended that this ruling
was proper and cited cases ; on the
Ohio statutes which were so decided.

the recent change in time, which
change was fathered by Cleveland
more than by anyone else, councilmen
of that city have now awakened to

to "go to bed in the sunshine and get

AS a result Of this enlightenment a

MORE TENEMENT HOUSES
NEEDED IN MEDINA

Medina, this spring, more than ever
before, experiences the need of more
dwelling houses. Inquiries come in
daily to real estate dealers for hous-
es and more houses. A number of
people were searching around last
week for place to live and to house
their families, but none seemed to be
available.
The demand for houses shows the
tendency of Medina toward expansion.
There is a verdant field here for some
builders to fit up a number of moder-
ate priced houses which would rent at
price that would appeal to those
who rent their homes.
This is matter the board of trade
might discuss with profit to the
growth and welfare Of the village
II people cannot find a house In
which to live they probably win aban-
don any desire they might have Ia
settle here.
