winter in Lakeland at the home OF
Miss May Tomlinson, writes his home
paper as follows about Lakeland:

We are told that we can have good
fishing in the lakes hereabouts, but

Sorry, hssss.. CGE'.r.tcsseR.

Although tho invitation 10 the
meeting 10 he held In New ork on
inc fourteenth, was all that could
have been asked, tho oil editor has
SSeided 10 stay at home, aud the

There Is only one reason for not
going. and that Is. that the writer is
not strong for any OF these new lsmH,
nowadays, and does not believe him

seems that the proposed plan is a
trifle too much like the league OF

The trip would have been pleas
ant one, and many OF the prominent
producers iand retlpcrs have offered
20 finance the same, for which offers
the oil editor Ia duly grateful, lie
does not feel In harmony with the
spirit OF the meeting, which, u
thought by many OF the best people
here to be a good thing and simply
asks to be excused this time and let
the other fellow take the responsl
bility.
II It develops that the new plan
means the elimination OF premiums,
Il will hurt the oil producer. III II
turns out that the new plan calls for
n single selling agency. 1t Will tend
10 a concentration OF power that Is
not pleasing to the writer. to nay the
least, and would put outfpt business

reliable marketing concerns that
have done 10 much for the upbulid
ing of this field.
There are many other contingencies
that might arise, hut II Ia useless tc

MINERS WAGES LIBERAL

Now that the coal strike is settled
a word on the wages paid prior to
strike: D. r. Pelton is home from a
visit to the mines, in which he is in
terested. He says that careful figur-
ing shows that men working but a
days a week have been making from
$10O to $125 a month; those work,
ing more get more; that not one will
work more than five days.
Medina citizens think of the "poor
miner" and his awful place to work.
"But,"' says Mr.. Pelton, "its almost
impossible to get a miner to work
above ground on any job imaginable,
even when they are on strike. They
will mine but not work otherwise
Mr.. Pelton says he had car Of coal
started for Medina the first of the
week and that when it arrives he will
divide with people needing fuel.

topic.
Miss Hartz, of Cleveland, repre-
senting the American Jewish Relief
Commission that is raising funds for
relief work in Poland, Serbia, Rou-
mania and Slavonia, presented the
case of the Commission and asked en-
dorsement for the solicitation of
funds in Medina. The ministers
adopted a resolution endorsing the
movement and bespeaking a kindly
reception for canvassers for funds.
This movement has been endorsed by
Mr.. Hoover. Both Jews and Protest
ants in these countries will be given
relief.
There will be no meeting Of the as
sociation in January. The February
meeting will be held in Lodi, the sec
ond Monday of the month. At the
last moment the December meeting
was changed from the Baptist to. the
Congregational church.
Speaker and topic for the next
meeting will be announced later; Rev
Beeman, of Seville, is the program
committee.
