TWO BIG CROPS BY
MEDINA CORN RAISERS

There is friendly discussion on
between R. Q. Bowman, of this city,
and Thos. Mccoy, living a mile
south of Seville. Bowman has 20
acres of corn on his farm two miles
east of Medina that he says will go
200 baskets to the acre. 1t is large
kernel variety, and many who have
seen it say it is the finest corn in the
county.
Mccoy has SIS acres of corn that he
claims 'tops" Bowman's corn. 1t is
later variety, is small-kernel grain,
and Mccoy thinks it shows greater
depth of kernel on the cob.
Both are banner crops and prove
that each producer is premium-win-
ming corn raiser Samples of both
crops can be seen at Rowman's ferti-
lizer depot near the B. & o. depot.

BRYAN NOT SURPRISED AT CONNECTICUT

against intemperance The Metho- dists 100 years ago passed 3 vote that interested in the liquor trade and the Presbyterians. to which denomination
 MT. Bryan said he belonged. voted that ministers should not get drunk sissippi said Mir. Bryan, passed a resolution that they ought not to sell liquor on the church grounds dur ing services.
 Science is helping towards enforce nent for it shows that even the mod crate use of alcohol Is injurious.
 Business men have helped by giv- ing preference to men who do not over the top; the war threw ghast- ly light upon the menace of alcohol. Our army trained under conditions never known before, surprised the world as a fighting machine.
 Lloyd George. in addressing parlia- ment during the war. said Great Bri- tain was fighting three great enemies and the greatest of the three was munition work. He said drink was causing the loss of 15o.eoo men $ work a day. The liquor interests said let the nation perish before we to do what Great Britain could not do and we set the world an example that will not be forgotten.
 Mir. Bryan enlarged upon the com pleteness of the victory for the. pre- hibition forces, having secured 45 states to ratify the constitutional amendment when 36 would have been enough. and he said he was glad the democratic party could no longer be called the whiskey party. He said he had often been accused of disturb ing the harmony of the narIy though it wasn't true. It was like the lit tie boy who was told by his mother to stop pulling the eats tail. I'm not pulling her tail the boy answered. I'm only holding her tail She's do ing the pulling 1 was only hold ing to the principles of the party. AIr. Bryan said It was d minority that was doing the disturbing.
 The republicans too. have done we'll for prohibition for they gave as large a percentage of their votes in con gresjs as the democrats did.
 For the future we must build up back Of prohibition wall of senti- ment for total abstinence The world is sick of an age long disease and we have found a remeoy for it in ,v'fiual immune to the disease and ip prohibition that destroys the breeding 2laces of the germs. We are to shake fhe world by the testimony we are 10 give against intoxicating liquo~-
