A MEDINA MERCHANT
CALLS MAKERS BLUFF
Manufacturer Sells Goods With
Date Set For Delivery and
Price Written in the Con-
tract.
MAKER BACKS DOWN
AND SHIPS THE GOODS

'Tisn't always the big men who
have the most backbone, for it's Of
ten the case that a small man will call
another's bluff instanter.
There's a little man doing business
in Medina. Some months ago he or
dered bill of goods to be delivered
in time for Christmas, and at GER
tain price. Ordering ahead as he did
he was told that the manufacturer
could buy the materials necessary to
the manufacture ahead and in this
way protect the two of them. The
order was given to the travelling rep
resentative, was accepted by the
house, and delivery promised at a
certain time and for a given price.
Everything was settled between
them, and the deal was fair and
square, up and down and straight
across.
A few weeks ago, however, the Me-
dina dealer was notified the goods
were made and ready for shipment,
but that the house could not afford to
ship them at the price quoted; if the
Medina merchant would submit to a
given advance they could be shipped
at once.
Right here the little backbone
swelled up just like mad cats. The
manufacturer received notice that he
could ship goods at the old price, and
at once, or all relations between the
two houses would cease forever. The
Medinaite got his goods, but his back
is scarce down to normal yet.

ence committees report on the Girls
void bill, which as finally passed and
made ready for the governors sigma
ture removes all control over local
health matters by the state depart
ment of health and kills all the de-
partment's civil service regulations

become law Medina county will not

visions of the Hughes bill.
The legislature quit cold with the
problem of financial relief for cities
unsolved. State Chairman Geo. d.
Clarke of the Republicans called Re-
publican members together just be-
fore they left the capitol and warned
them that they must give Ohio an in
come tax bill.
Clarke said the 1918 party platform
of the Republicans, promising relief
to cities, had to be kept and in way
more expedient than ripping up the
Smith l per cent law.
The plan now is to tax incomes o1
corporations as well as individuals
The new committee which will frame
another income tax bill is composed
of Senators Whittemore, Parrett
Ballew, DeMuth and Stone, and Rep.
resentatives Clark, Beetham, Robin

Tabor's statement was a criticism Of
the way the Republican majority hat

attempt to repeal the Smith l PEE

WHEN HOME BREWS
DEVELOP A KICK
They Must Not Be Sold Under New
Crabbe Bill

A person is privileged to make his
or her own cider and wine and fruit
juices, for use in your own home,
but after these home brews develop
kick they shall not be sold or de-
livered to anyone except vinegar
dealer, and this last named individual
or firm must have a federal license.
Never again will the housewife step
to her telephone and order the grocer
to send her a gallon Of vinegar, un-
less the last named gentleman goes to
the trouble and expense of taking out
federal license.
The manufacture of fruit juice
wines is authorized in the new Crabbe
prohibition enforcement bill which
has been introduced in the house OF
representatives at Columbus. The
manufacture of beer, whisky and
other intoxicants is put on the black
list.
Interpretation of the new Crabbe
bill seems to indicate that, if it be-
comes a law, it will not be unlawful
to have hard cider and wines in ones
cellar, but one cannot give them
away or sell them.
There is small consolation for the
thirsty in this provision, however, a:
the federal Volstead act forbids tht
manufacture of such beverages ever
for ones personal use.
For each successive violation of thu
proposed Crabbe bill, the penalty be
comes more severe. For the first vic
lation the penalty is from $10O tt
81 1000; for the second violation $30'
to $4,000 and for the third and sub
sequent violations $500 to $4,000, to
gether with imprisonment from on
to five years.
Representative Crabbe in his pro
posed bill would have the attorne,
general, prosecuting attorneys an
regular police officers act as enforce
ment officials. The bill would ALLOW
the attorney general to name on
inspector and ten assistants,

GOVERNMENT SAYS H. c. l..
WILL TAKE BIG DROP

If one may believe everything that
emanates from government officials
at Washington, the high cost of hv-
ing is due for material drop within
the next two months. This was the
word sent out following an agreement
between the five big packers and the
government, whereby the packers are
to give up control Of all lines OF their
business other than pertaining strict
ly to meats and their closely allied
products. The packers agreed to this
in order to save themselves the trou-
BILE of fighting number of suits
which the government had decided to
start. They are now immune and If
it is possible, they may start in i'm
mediately and take up other lines
of course without the governments
knowledge.
The drop will be due to return of
competition in lines which the pack
ers have agreed to give up control, it
is stated.
Extensive trading in wholesale
groceries, canned goods, preserves
and our products are to be abandoned
and the packers are to devote them
selves to the slaughter of animals,
the wholesale marketing of meat,
and the utilization of the by-products
of slaughter.
The packers agred also to dispose
of agencies, which it is charged, have
enabled them to dominate markets
and manipulate prices. These include
stockyards, railroads, public cold
storage houses, newspapers carrying
market quotations and retail estab-
lishments.
They are to engage in no retail
business, whatever, and will not use
their distributing systems for other
purposes than carrying meat and
dairy products. They are not deprived
of the privilege of handling eggs
butter and cheese, but these may
come up for later consideration.
The announcement is the culmina.
ton of the protest of the common
people for over a decade. Recently il
has been asserted that the business o1
the packers has included such unre
lated articles as wall paper, china
tea and furniture.
The government officials who have
been working to bring this abou
claim that will put the price O
meat within control of the consumer
by eliminating monopoly in its sub
stitutes. Heretofore if people stoppe
buying meat on account of the higl
price, it mattered not to the packer
as they dominated the grocery lines
and when a person stopped buyin
meat he was forced to buy som
other food which profit went to tn
packers also.
Packers claim, that while there
} no law compelling them to take tn
action agreed upon, they did so to re
move all traces Of friction betwee
the selling public and themselves.
