HIGH scHoo|'s
STEAL rs Dog
CAUGHT LE 81 ANIMAL
A''''"A LAKE
Coveting SnelfsSCoOn Dog They Try
to Hide It-.Dog Had Been Sold
for SIS

Frank Bennett and Harold Standon,
two Medina high school youths, were
taken from their beds at Chippewa
Lake Monday night and arrested for
the theft Of hunting dog from Mrs.
Jerry Smell, widow OF the late Jerry
Smell, whose funeral had been held
but the day previous.
According to members of the Smell
family one Of the youths had pre-
made an offer for the dog,
but it had been refused. Monday the
animal, a valuable hunter, was sold
to outside parties and was to have
been Grated for shipment that even
ing. Delay resulted, however, and the
dog was left as usual in the barn in
the rear Of the house, together with
another dog.
About 9:30 in the evening Mrs.
Smell heard a bark and a slight COM
motion in the barn and went out to
investigate. She found that the hunter
had been taken, its chain having been
unsnapped from the outside by the
simple method Of reaching through a
small hole through which the animal
had egress to the outside.
Hastily summoning Officer Hange
a search was made for the thieves
The stolen dogs companion was re-
leased and led the hunting party
through the back lot and out on Elm
wood street where the trail was
obliterated. A search of the neigh
borhood revealed the fact that the
baggage crew on the c. S. & c. had
seen two boys leading a dog across
lots in the rear of the electric station
toward the standpipe. No trace Of
any 'one could be found.
Later as the train crew were max
ing their run to Chippewa Lake they
saw two young men leading dog
down the track. Reaching the sub.
station they telephoned the news bach
to Medina and officials lost no time ir
reaching the lake where they foun(
the Bennett boy and Standon in bed
The dog was found tied in nearby
barn.
Returning to Medina Justice of the
Peace Ainsworth was routed out ol
bed and fixed bail for the boys in tht
sum of $500 each. Frank Drehr ant
F. D. Standon went bail for the lat
ter's son. while Scott Bennett and thu
senior Frank Bennett signed the bont
releasing young Bennett. The hear
| ing was set for Saturday morning an(
warrants were to have been sworn ou
Tuesday morning.
When Tuesday morning arrived al
interesting question arose. According
to law a charge of petit larceny cal
be made only when the amount takel
is valued at $35 OF less. If more thai
this sum is involved the charge be
comes grand larceny which carries ;
penitentiary sentence if guilt is es
tablished. An investigation into tn
matter revealed the fact that the do.
had already been sold when stolel
for a sum said to be SIS. Here mat
ters became complicated. Prosecutin.
Attorney, when interviewed about tn
matter, washed his hands Of the Who'll
affair. Ainsworth likewise insiste
that it was not his place to swear ou
the warrants, and furthermore wa
unable to figure out some process o
reasoning whereby he could legal
fix an amount OF bond for a Grim
which had not been yet charged
, Thursday officials were still debatin
what charges to place against tn
, lads.

TO CALL PASTOR
BUILD PARSONAGE
STRAW VOTE SHOWS DOYLE
FAVORITE OF BOARD
Three Rivers, Mich, Man Has Made
A Proposition That Looks Good
to Leaders

The official board Of the Baptist
church held meeting in the church
parlors Tuesday evening. Regular
routine business was transacted, after
which a discussion was had Of the
proposition Of calling new pastor.
Rev. l.. S. Doyle, of Three Rivers,
Mich, has preached to the Baptist
congregation on two Sundays, COM
ing as candidate for the vacancy.
Several other ministers have also
visited Medina as candidates, the last
being Rev. H. Alton Lewis, Of New
Castle, Pa. He will preach again the
coming Sunday at the morning and
evening services, the congregation
wishing to give him the same oppor~
tunity as others who have preceded
him.
At the meeting of the official board
on Tuesday evening, however, straw
vote was taken and the sentiment of
the board was to give Rev. Doyle a
call. He had asked for salary of
$1,000 and a parsonage. The Baptist
people have no parsonage but it has
been the intention of the leaders in
the church to ask the congregation
to buy or build one in the near future.
All seem to feel that the pastor, who
is leader in the work of the church,
should have an official home, which a
parsonage will afford. 1t seems to be
the consensus of opinion that the
church should buy or build, and it is
understood that if the church will be-
gin such movement Rev. Doyle will
be glad to come to Medina and await
the outcome of the campaign pro-
posed to that end.
The government of the Baptist
church provides that the congrega-
ton shall, by official vote OF the
church, extend formal call to pas
tor. The official board generally
gives it's endorsement before such an
election is held. In this instance it
is proposed to hold a meeting OF the
official board at the close of the church
work next Sunday when the board will
make it's endorsement, set time In
the early future for congregation
meeting, at which time the congrega-
ton will be given opportunity to vote
on the several candidates who have
appeared before it.

CIGAR AND TOBACCO DEAL
 FRS LOOK OUT

Little Rock, Ark, March 18th With but 10 days remaining in which to pay floor taxes on
 cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff, just one--half of the num-
 Der of returns anticipated for this district has been filed and but one-half of the amount of tax collected, according to Jack Walker, Collector of Internal Revenue for the State of Ark ansas, in a statement issued here today.
 Every dealer in cigars, cigar cites, tobacco and snuff is liable for this floor tax," said Collector Walker, "and a heavy penalty will be assessed against all de- linquents. A very complete list of dealers in tobacco was secur- ed by this office and every such dealer has been furnished with the proper forms for inventory ing his stock and making re- turn and paying tax. Further more, a large force of revenue officers has been assigned es- pecially for the purpose of as sisting dealers in preparing these returns. It is the purpose of the office to have an officer visit each dealer prior to the last day of payment but failure of an officer to visit a dealer will not be considered as relief from penalty. All inventories will be verified by revenue officers, in al probability by April 15 and not later than May l."

Peace and Righteousness

Righteousness means victory with the help of the Spirit of God over our selves, over our inclinations, our pas sions, our tempers, our whole sinful natures. There is no peace without victory in the spiritual life, and am inclined to think that holds good be- tween men and nations. There is no peace until righteousness is done. The Prophet said "They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying Peace, Peace, when there is no peace" " There musr be righteousness toward God and our fellowmen if there is to be peace and good will on earth.

 JUNIOR TOPIC-Standing up for the right.
 company.
 Joshua, knowing that his life was drawing to a close, summoned the leaders of Israel to appear before him. He knew the tendencies which the sa- ton was developing and the peril which faced 1t as his leadership was coming to an end. His jealousy for God and solicitude for them prompted him to assemble them and point out the great dangers which confronted them.
 |. A Review of What God Had Done (29:3 4).
 l. God had fought Israel's battles (v. 3). He gave them victory over the strong nations which inhabited Ca naan. Striking evidences of this are the capture of Jericho and victory at Gibeon when the sun stood still at Joshuas command. This victory had been secured quickly. which indicates that God had interposed in their be- half.
 2. God by the hand of Joshua had apportioned the land among the tribes (v. Al for an inheritance. In chapter "A Joshua rehearses the wonderful things God had done for the nation extending from Abraham down through the ages.
 II. Points Out the Promises as Yet UnfuIfiIled (23 :5-10).
 1. "He shall expel them before you" (v. 5. The actual possession which God had given was the pledge that he would give them full possession. Gods promise was the guarantee of this. In view of Gods faithful performance of all his promises there should be no room for doubt.
 2. "One man of you shall chase thousand" (v. 10). The reason of this was because the Lord God would fight for them. To have the Lord fight for US is to have the assurance of victory regardless of how few or how many.
 8. The condition upon which these promises would be realized. CD "Be very courageous" (v. 6). At a time like this it required courage to look to God for all the nations needs. (2) Keep and do all that is written in the law of Moses" (v. 6). Fidelity to Gods law was essential. Turning aside in any particular would forfeit aloof from the Canaanites" (v. D. This separation was to obtain with reference to (a) marriage among them (b) idolatrous customs. (4) Cleave wholly unto God (v. 8.
 III. Solemn Warnings Issued (23: 11-16).
 1. Take good heed that you love God sincerely (v. 11). Love to God is the sum total of duty toward him.
 2 Refrain from intermarriage among the Canaanites (v. 12). For Gods peO- pie to intermarry among the heather is to set In motion influences which would issue in confusion and disaster.
 3. God will make the heather snares, traps and scourges instead of giving victory over them (v. 13).
 4. Evil things will come upon them just as good things had been done for them even to their destruction (v. 15).
 5. The wrath of God kindled against them (v. 16).
