INVESTIGATE VALIDITY
OF army EXEMPTIONS

Four men from the war department
investigating board of the federal
court, accompanied by young lady
stenographer, were at the court house
last Friday and Saturday taking tes-
timony regarding the questionnaires
of certain Medina county selectives
who were exempted from army SER
vice.
The Investigators pursued their
work so mysteriously that it is diff
ficult to determine just what they ex-
pected to discover, or what "malefac-
tors" they sought to uncover. About
20 witnesses were examined, none OF
whom were permitted to hear what
the others were asked or to what they
testified.
Enough information was CLEANED
from various sources, however, to in
dicate that complaint had probably
been made that number of selective
men had been exempted by reason of
misstatements in their questionnaires
and it also appeared from statements
made by witnesses subsequent to their
examination, that certain attorney
may be called upon to justify his
work in assisting selectives with their
questionnaires and for his alleged ex-
cessive charges therefor.
The Investigators made no state
rnent Of their findings, and as has
been stated, an air of mystery sur
rounded all they did in Medina Prior
to their visit here they were engaged
in similar investigation in Wads-
worth.

Of Eu 1ade up of Clevelanders

day, Thursday, and will reach the
states week later. Cable dispatch
es stated that the entire unit of about

DEL|NQUENTS MUST
EXPLAIN OR PAY fine

Persons who neglected to pay the
first installment of income taxes last
Saturday have lost the installment
privilege and must now pay their en-
tire tax upon demand of a revenue
collector.
To avoid the penalty of Is per cent.
in addition to the regular tax, persons
who failed to file returns Saturday
may now submit belat4d returns with
sworn statement of the reason for
delinquency. Without this the pen
atty will be imposed.
These policies announced Monday,
are intended to grant degree of
leniency to those who for some legiti-
mate reason failed to file their re-
turns when they were due. By law,
however, the installment. privilege is
removed from all failing to make pay
nients on time and the internal 'reve-
nue. bureau has no authority to change
this provision.
A revenue bureau statement in ex-
PLANTATION follows:
Revenue collectors will accept all
delinquent returns presented after
March Is, and deposits any payment
made Herewith. Under law, failure
to make first payment by March Is
automatically makes the whole tax
payable Immediately. Taxpayers fill
ing returns subsequent to March Is
therefore, must pay in full, but if the
taxpayer submits partial payment
he will be notified of the balance due
later in the regular procedure of list
ing and sending notices.
"In reference to the penalty of 25
per cent. additional tax for all delin-
quents, the policy will be to proceed
sympathetically in accordance with the
regulations permitting the taxpayer
if he desires, to file an affidavit with
in ten days explaining the cause Of
the delinquency"
The statement was taken to indi.
cate that persons who paid their taxes
later than Saturday may have as
much as sixty days in which to pay
the remaining three-quarters.
Revenue collectors have been in.
structed to use their own discretion
in determining what constitutes E
reasonable cause for failure to make
returns OF payments on time.

SUGAR BUSH PANNING
WELL THIS SEASON

It's good maple year in Medina
county. Big flows Of sap in quick sue
cession and the unusual price of bulk
syrup have made it SO.
Many farmers prophesied poor
sugar season because Of the open
winter, but after all is said and done,
March weather makes the maple
season one way or the other.
If sap runs come during the winter,
it adds to the total maple yield, but
March, which brings freezing nights,
clearer skies and a warmer sun, real
ly determines the extent of sugar
ing, and always will unless the
seasons are reversed.
A year ago some farmers predicted
a big maple season because Of the
long severe winter. The maple sea-
son came late, however, and was short
which contradicts the theory that un-
less the winters are severe the maple
season will be short.
Farmers generally throughout this
region, moved by the outlook. for a
high price, began preparations for
sugaring earlier than usual. They
hung more buckets, and in other ways
planned to take advantage of a big
maple season, and they will be well
paid.
The high price of sugar coal caused
many sugarmakers to put up their
fire wood" last summer, and this
saving in fuel will add something to
the total net receipts from sales of
| syrup.
The prevailing price around Medina
is from 81 to $2.25, altho few farm
ers are selling excellent syrup for as
low as $1.75 per gallon.

BANKS ASKED TO HOLD
UP BOND CONVERSIONS

One of the provisions of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan act was the grant
ing of authority to the secretary of
the treasury to extend the time where
in conversions of first Liberty Loan
converted per cent. bonds and sec
ond Liberty Loan bonds could be con-
verted into bonds of the A IA per
cent. rate.
A condition of the conversion privi-
lege is that form of conversion re-
quest must be rendered with bonds
presented for conversion to banks.
Registered bonds will be delivered
upon conversion of coupon bonds and
coupon bonds will be delivered upon
conversion of registered bonds, but
in the case of the latter, registered
bonds presented for conversion and
for exchange into coupon bonds, must
be duly assigned to the secretary OF
the treasury for conversion and eX-
change for coupon bonds" Such as
signment must be duly executed in
accordance with the form on the back
of such registered bonds.
For the purpose of computing the
amount of interest payable bonds pre-
scented for conversion under the cir
cular to be issued by the treasury de-
partment, shall be deemed to be con-
verted on the dates for the payment
for the semi-annual interest on the re-
spective bonds, so presented for con-
version, next succeeding the date of
such presentation.
Interest will be paid on registered
bonds presented for conversion at the
rate of 4 per cent. per annum to the
semi-annual interest payment date
next succeeding the date of presenta-
tion for conversion to the registered
owner of the bonds presented for con-
version.
The converted bonds delivered in
exchange will have but four coupons
| attached thereto. There will be no
adjustments of interest required upon
conversion of either registered or
coupon, bonds.
Banks should not foroward any
bonds to the Federal Reserve Bank
for conversion until they have receiv-
/ ed the forms necessary for requesting
such conversions. 1t is thought by
the Federal Reserve Banks that these
forms will be ready for delivery with
in the next week or ten days. There
is no particular advantage at this
time, in forwarding bonds for con
| version, as the Federal Reserve Bank
does not have any of the new bonds
on hand to effect such conversions.

New Federal Regulation Goes Into
Effect April

STRANGE Dog RUNS
AMUCk IN VILLAGE
BITES MANY ANIMALS
BEFORE PUT TO DEATH
In Similar Outbreak Three Weeks
Ago Five Persons
&" We're Attacked.

A strange dog, cross between a
hound and bulldog, and bearing Sum-
nit county tag 1852, was the cause of
considerable CONSERVATION and anxiety
in the village Tuesday until its exis-
tence was brought swiftly to a close
by Sheriff Bigelow.
The dog was observed on the public
square Tuesday morning, but its ap-
pearance occasioned no alarm until a
little later when it became known that
the animal had bitten several dogs in
the village, when action was speedily
taken to forestall any further havoc
from that source. The dog was killed
by Sheriff Bigelow, near the ceme-
terry.
It had bitten at least five dogs, those
of Grover Yocum, 0. l. Shaw, H. A.
Black, Herbert Blanchard, Julius Wit
tel and D. S. Longacre, all of which
were killed later in the day. One cat,
the owner of which could not be
learned, was also bitten. The strange
dog is known to have bitten two or
more dogs in Weymouth the previous
day.
A rumor that two persons had been
bitten by the dog could not be verified.
Supt. Conkle of the schools convey
ed word to all pupils to beware of
the dog, enroute to and from school,
but the early death of the animal of
course removed the necessity for such
action.
DR.. w. F. Wise sent the dogs head
to the State Health Department at
Columbus Tuesday night for analysis
as to the presence Of rabies.
This is the second similar outbreak
in Medina within a few weeks, when
five persons were bitten by mad
dog, and who are at present under
going Pasteur treatment.
One of Arthur Dague's hogs, bitten
by A. B. Randall's dog on the Jesse
Erb farm on West Smith road two
weeks ago, went mad this week, froth-
ing ut the mouth and manifesting
other rnmistakeable evidences of hy-
drophobia, was killed by DR.. w. F
Wise Thursday afternoon.

time QUERY TO change
OR NOT TO CHANGE?

What Medina people will do with
respect to advancing their clocks
ahead another hour on March 30, as
directed by the federal government,
remains to be seen.
AS stated in the Sentinel last week
a canvass of the business houses and
manufacturing concerns disclosed the
prevailing sentiment to be in opposi
ton to the change. The farming
element is known to be unanimously
against it.
The question was discussed at a
meeting of the Board Of Trade We'd
nesday night, but the attendance was
very small and no definite decision
was made by the board The latter
will issue call for a meeting next
Wednesday night at the X. of P. hall,
to which the public is asked to at
tend, at which time it is hoped to be
able to determine just what shall be
done in the matter.
A few citizens have declared them
selves in favor of the change, solely
on personal loyalty grounds, that as
the change has been directed by the
government it should therefore be
observed, Some hold this attitude
and at the same time declare their
own dislike to a change.
Judging from present indications it
would seem that the large majority
of Medina clocks will be left as they
now are on and after March 80.

SUES FOR DIVORCE

Hazel May Fem Of Rittman has
filed suit for divorce from her hus-
band, Ceylon Wightman Fem, the
latter now resident of Pennsylvania.
Plaintiff states in her petition that
they were married March II, 1909, at
Medina and that three children were
born to them. Also that they lived
most of the time of their married life
at Chippewa Lake Park. She charges
that her husband has been mean to
her, and that he acted especially SO
during the winter when there would
be no one on the grounds at the lake.
She states that he told her to leave
in September, 1917, and that she did
SO, taking the children with her, and
tried to support them by working in
factories, but that she was forced to
abandon this and give them back.
Mrs. Fem says her husband took the
two youngest children and went to
Pennsylvania with another woman,
and that the oldest child is with it's
grandmother at Medina. The suit is
filed in the Wayne county court.
