TAX ASSESSORS TO
VISIT EVERY HOME

n Although the present voluntary
system Of making tax returns is an
improvement over the old plan and
has increased the number of taxpay-
ers, too many property owners still
are escaping taxation, is the opinion
of the state tax commission. Tt has
instructed county auditors to have
ward and township assessors make a
house toulouse canvass this year in
search Of delinquents.
The commission believes such a
plan will increase the grand dupli-
cate of the state $15O,0O0,0O0 in addi-
tion to the normal gain for the year.
The Medina county township and
village assessors met with Auditor
McNeal, on Tuesday and Wednesday,
when they checked up the returns
made and received their instructions.
Besides looking up delinquents, asses
sors are required to call at every
house in search for others who did
not list their property.
Elected assessors in the past, the
state tax commission asserts, have
called only on those they personally
knew did not. make returns. They
have never made a thorough cleanup,
it is contended.

I NO MORE SUNDAY MOVIES

Sunday was movie day in Medina,
the first time villagers have had a
chance to attend an honest-to- good
ness Sunday movie in their home
town for long time, and it will prob
ably be the last chance for some
time to come as Mayor Dimmock went
On the war path Monday and exacted
a promise from the theater managers
that there would be no more shows
on Sunday, at least under present
laws. n
n Several bills are before the legisla-
ture concerning picture shows on the
Sabbath, one allowing theaters to run
at specified hours, another permitting
them to operate wide open and a
third referring the question to refer
endum in each particular community.
Il is likely that one of the three bills
will be passed at this session.

IMMENSE CROWD
PLEASED WITH RECITAL

On Wednesday evening over 500
people listened to the first of the
"dedicatory recitals" at the Methodist
church. Owing to illness, Miss Mar
guerite Stebbins was unable to do her
work on the piano, bat Wayne Frary
of Baldwin Wallace kindly consented
on short notice to give the. piano num-
bers. Mr.. Frary is a solo pianist Of
rare ability and he is equally tai
ented as an accompanist.
The star performer of the concert
was the boy cornetist, Master Gordon
Sherwood Of Olmstead. The audience
was SO pleased with his work that be-
fore his last note was played he re-
ceived hearty applause and encore.
Lawrence Wall gave a very fine
talk about his experiences with the
Lakeside unit in France, making a
strong appeal for the Victory Loan.
AS an offering Mr.. Frary and John
Beck played a piano and organ duet.
The offering amounted to over $35,
which will be placed in the fund for
the Memorial for the soldiers of the
church,"

ALL FARMERS NEEDN'T
FILE INCOME REPORT

Unfortunately considerable con-
fusion has been caused by notices that
were sent out from the internal reve-
nue. office in Cleveland notifying far
mers to file their reports under the
income tax law by May s.
Owing to the peculiar wording Of
the notice, the impression was given
that all farmers, whatever their in
come is, must fill out and file a re-
port. The explanation is now made
that such is not the intention, but
that the same rule applies to the far
mer as to all other persons, viz, if
their income, less the 5000 allowed
for each minor child, is over $4,000
report must be filed and tax paid
if the person is married, and if not
married, the report must be fled and
"A tax paid If the net income is over
| $1,000. A 5
There seems to be no doubt, &C.
cording to latest advices, that mar
ried farmers having less than $4,000
net income and unmarried farmers
having less than $1,000 net income
need not file reports.

Go Over Today.

Thursday noon, with but two and
one-half days remaining in which to
subscribe for Liberty bonds, Medina
county had filled but two-thirds of
her quota. From now on it will re-
quire some hustling to put Medina
county over the top, altho those in
charge of the drive are optimistic re-
garding the outcome, as no large sub
scriptions have as yet been received.
A rush of last minute buyers is ex-
pected Saturday and in order to accom-
modate as many as possible the three

MOTHERS DAY TO
BE OBSERVED MAY II

The greatest tribute to American
motherhood in all history is planned
for Mothers day, Sunday, May IL;
not only to mothers of soldiers but to
all mothers and to all women who
gave such unselfish devotion and en-
ergy to helping win the great world
war.
The first observance of Mothers
day was in 1908. The beautiful Gus
tom was established in that year by
Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia who
desired to pay tribute to her mother
and felt that sons and daughters gen.
orally should be reminded of the
debt they owe to their mothers.
Quickly the idea spread and each year
since then the day has been observed
by greater numbers Of people.
In the hurry and hustle Of life, with
so many perplexing problems to solve,
so many annoyances to disturb the
mental serenity, we sometimes fail to
give adequate expression to the appre-
citation that is in our hearts for those
who have rendered such loving SER
vice TO us. Sometimes, alas, it hap
pens that we fail to realize how much
we owe to mother, or father, or some
other dear friend until it is too late
to do more than send floral tribute
that if given before would have filled
with happiness the heart of that loved
one and made glad what would other
wise have been weary day.
Miss Jarvis, international president
, of the Mothers day committee, has
asked that every home be decorated
with flag on May IL, that flowers
be sent to mothers who are living and
flower of remembrance worn fo1
| the mother who is dead.

Medina county's Liberty Loan or
ganization are busily engaged in put
ting on the final touches to the fifth
and last liberty loan. To state that
the local organization has been face
to face with huge task is putting
it mildly. Owing to the fact that
the past few weeks have been the
farmers busiest season, with spring
planting and farming, it has been
impossible to get them to devote the
time or show the same amount of in
terest as was manifest in the last four
loans.
Several meetings have been held
during the week, Hinckley staging a
monster mass meeting Sunday which
was addressed by George Emmett, who
recently returned from service over
seas.
Tuesday evening another meeting
which was we'll attended, was held
at Granger. Mr.. Emmett of Hinck-
ley was the speaker at this occasion
also, while Beck's orchestra furnished
music. At Lodi on the same even
ing successful meeting was held, a
Canadian band of 36 pieces, all of
whose members were returned SOL
diers, many bearing wound stripes,
furnishing the music, with Lieut..
Ferguson, as speaker
Last Friday evening people from
the neighborhood of Wadsworth flock
ed to that village to view a trophy
train which was on exhibition. War
movies were also shown to the as
sembled crowds.
In Medina village a house house
canvass was made, as stated last week,
altho reports which were to have been
made Thursday evening came strag-
Cling in all day Friday. About $42,-
900 worth of bonds were subscribed
for in this way. Yesterday the viii
lage stood within a few thousand of
it's quota with no subscriptions as yet
from the local factories. These will
put Medina more than over the top.
Three more townships have won
the honor flag since last week-York
Chatham and Sharon, making six in
all, as Chippewa Lake Special, Litch-
field and Spencer had previously gone
over, Spencer leading them all. Gran
ger township has hopes of reaching
her quota Friday.
Considering Medina county's results
as compared with those in general
over the country they show very fav-
orably, and officials of the loan COM
mittee are optimistic regarding the
final outcome.

Lease at Ranuer,

Charles Mckinnis left for Spokane
last Monday and from there will pro-
ceed to Ranger, Texas, the scene of
perhaps the most remarkable oil ex-
element the world has ever known.
While there few weeks ago he Sc
cured under lease a tract of land in
the midst of the oil field and 1t Is his
purpose now to put IA we'll down at
once. He stated upon his return that
oil had been struck on three sides Of
his lease and that on the fourth a
we'll was then down 1900 feet with
every indication of striking the gold
Ell fluid" Under these circumstances
he felt very sanguine Of striking it on
his lease and he is now going after it
plans also to do a little pioneering in
the oil belt, The geological maps Of
the state prepared by both the state
geologist and the United States geo
logical survey, together with exhaust
i've reports, all indicate that the story
of oil in Texas has not half been told

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT BOARD.
Two Members Visit the District in
Quest of information,

&h0ok VI stIVTtVaSiou.
Two members Of the state indus
trial accident board. Frank J. Clay
ton, chairman, and George H. Fisher,
have been in the city for several days
Their purpose in coming here at this
time was to gain first hand informa-
tion regarding the mining industry in
its relation to their official duties in
the adjustment of claims for injuries
under the workman's compensation
law. A large percentage of the cases
that come up to the board for action
originate in the mines of this dis
trict, and the board has been more or
less handicapped in the disposition of
cases through lack of personal
knowledge of working conditions in
the mines. The visitors have been
kept busy since their arrival inspect
ing the mines and mills and in con-
ferring with managers and employees
The result is that they will leave here
with very definite idea of working
conditions and will be able hereafter
to give more intelligent and prompt
to cases coming from
this district. The third member Of
the board. l.. e. Worstell, of this city,
is of course familiar with these con-
ditions and he remained ION the job"
in Boise while his associates are up
