Medo, May 16.-Medo went over
the top in subscribing for the Vic
tory loan, the people as whole re-
spending nobly to the coan.ry.s call
for financial support The commit
tee sent out $50 letters and there
were $50 who answered, nearly
everyone taking out his FULL allot-
ment. The township of Medic is to be
rewarded for its generosity and
promptness in going "over the top"
by being presented with a captured
German helmet. The citizens of our
community are certainly to be COM
mended for their patriotism and lib
erality and the committee desire to
thank all for the whole hearted sup
port given by this vicinity.
Seeding is practically completed
in this part of the county though
there are some who before now have
been unable to do much field work.
Some of those whose land is tiled out
or who have high rolling ground have
some very healthy looking small
grain and a few have nearly finished
planting their corn. Because OF the
cold and wet weather this spring
many farmers will not be able to
finish planting before the Goth or
the 25th of this month. That is bad
because the late planted Germ will be
in great danger of early frosts this
fall. Corn that is in the ground by
the first or second week in May will
very likely come out fine. The ground
in places is very hard and baked to
such an extent that the small grain
is checked from growing. A light
shower now and then would be very
beneficial in loosening up these
places.

son of Danville visited in Medo Sun
