Giving the Weatherman His Due

The task of the weather forecaster is no light
one And he seldom is thanked for his work. If
his forecast is correct the reader forgets 1t !;
should sudden changes disprove his Deductions
he is censured or made the object of jokes and
jibes.
The forecasts Of weather experts receive more
attention in seaboard districts and fruit growing
regions than in our own locality. Bitter exper-
fence has taught shippers and sailors that predic
tons Of changes in temperature and of storms
must not be taken in vain They have saved
thousands of dollars by listening to the warnings
of these experts and no longer disregard their OBJ
servations with contempt and scorn.
'The Nations Business magazine devoted
exclusively to business affairs, speaks in the
highest commentator of the weather forecast
ers. '"The tendency to belittle the weather has
enjoyed wide vogue" says its editor. "In over
formal social gatherings made up of people in

large rooming house in Cody, to-

AHEAD FOR FAIR;
MEMBER AM. TROTTING ASSN,

There is discussion looking to the
union of the American Trotting Assn,
to which the Medina fair belongs,
and the National Trotting Assn, the
rival organization. The trotting and
fair associations would like to see
this union as it would make for
efficiency and lessen the per capita
cost of membership.
F. M. Plank, the local secretary, is
following the newspaper discussion
and hopes the union will be effected.
He says, further, that in case the
union is not effected it will be through
the selishness of the officers, and
that in this case a new organization
may be made and take in all fairs
and race circuits in favor of the union
and in this way build up strong or
ganization and so weaken the two old
ones that both will die. The Medina
officers are in favor of union.

Church IS FILLED
TO HEAR DRY TALK
CAPT. DAN MORGAN SMITH
TALKS TO GOOD CROWD
Gives Many High Lights" That Will
Interest Medina Citizens-Praises
All Our American Soldiers

There was full house at the M. E.
church Thursday evening to hear
Capt. Dan Morgan recount the expert
ences of himself and his men at the
front in France. D. R. Pelton was
chairman and introduced the speaker.
Some of the "high lights" in his ad-
dress were:
Thousands of English families went
hungry that the soldier at the front
might have enough. Every woman he
saw in his journey through England
either was wearing overalls or
mourning. The people there made the
supreme sacrifice.
He told how the cities and homes
in France were built on hills and
side hills with view to their defence
from the Hun; how this had been
done for centuries; how the war had
put on end to the further necessity
of this. He told, too, of travelling
over roads built by julius Caesar and
Napoleon, and built so we'll and cared
for so well they are still good.
After having done his bit, and seen
much in Europe of the war and the
conditions there, he could say, with a
clear conscience, "It is better to die
at 20 or rs than live to be 80 and to
never do anything or accomplish any
thing Of worth"
| There were more shells fired in one
day during some periods of the world
war than during the whole Civil War.
But more soldiers fell in the battle
of Gettysburg than in the whole world
war.
1t has often been said in years gone
by that our regular army was COM
posed of lazy ne'er do wells. This wal
proved the criticism a lie; it's per-
sonnel showed the men best gentle
men, most patriotic and greatest sol
diers of the whole world. He added
too, that our drafted men averaged
up with the best and made largely fol
the glory OF our army. He sale
that our soldiers had forgotten more
than the German soldier ever knew.
Discussion our foreign born peo-
pies, he praised those who had become
citizens and urged insistence that
those who come to our shores shoulc
become citizens in five years and for
get their old allegiance.
He told how the American soldier
Ewas hardened to the point of killing
Heinies by the sight Of children will
their hands cut off that they nigh
learn better than to lift their hand
against Germany, women with thei!
breasts burned off to indicate German
infection, women with babes force,
upon them by German brutes, and evi
dences Of like atrocities. Not onl.
did these steel the hearts Of the Amer
ican soldier to push his bayone
through the lungs of the Hun, but i
inspired him to a desire to be "le
against the brutes."
The real hero of the war was pri
vate. His battalion went in with 112
! and came out with 387, and the deci
nation of Heinie by these men wa

PRELIMINARY SURVEYS ON
SEVILLE PIKE ORDERED

County Surveyor Bibbins received
instructions from the state highway
department this week to go ahead
and make the necessary surveys and
protiles for the improvement of the
road from the county line north to
Seville. Last week similar instruc-
tions were received pertaining to the
strip of bad road on the pike from Sc
vile north to where it connects with
the piece recently improved.
1t was stated that an effort will be
made to obtain federal and state aid
on these two improvements and it has
been suggested that concrete road
way be built which would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 a mile. If
the federal aid could be obtained, this
would be on $3.50 proposition.
