COMING CELEBRATION IN SEPTEMBER

charge of the affair and solicit neces-
sary funds and make all arrange
ments. Those appointed were ]. w.
Seymour, l.. F. Carver, Walter Fen
ton, Dan Pelton and Blake Mellow
ell. These five men met again We'd
nesday evening and appointed Carver
as chairman and Seymour, secretary.
The date for holding the celebration
came up for discussion at this meet
ing and the tentative date of Labor
day was abandoned for two reasons.
First Litchfeld is making arrange
ments for home coming for that
day and as the residents of this
township have always been loyal sup
porters of any such movements which
have been launched here, to conflict
with their celebration would be mad
visable. Secondly, there are about a
half dozen Medina boys who are not
yet home from overseas and as their
arrival is expected early in Septem-
ber it was thought best to delay the
event until later in the month.
The work to- be done has been sub
divided among the five members and
they will meet again this Friday
evening when various committees will
be appointed and more definite plans
evolved.

Medina will have a home-coming
celebration when she will honor the
soldiers and sailors of the county,
who fought the battles of democracy
in the world war. This much was
assured last Friday evening at a cit
izen's meeting which was held in the
court house. The date of the cele-
bration will be some where around the
middle of September.
Dallas Warner presided at the
meeting and brought out several diff
ferent ideas regarding the proposed
celebration. It was suggested that
the committee use the energy and
money which would be necessary for
homecoming celebration and apply
same to the building of a permanent
memorial, in the form of a shaft or
even public comfort station. The
majority of those present, however,
agreed that the village would be remiss
in her obligations were she to pass up
an opportunity to give the soldiers Of
the county rousing welcome home.
1t was pointed out that Wadsworth had
held successful day of welcome and
the village of Brunswick staged a
celebration, the like of which has
seldom before been heard of.
A committee was appointed to take

SMOYER STARTS TO
REDUCE H. C. L.

Attorney F. O. Smoyer, of Wads-
worth, was in Medina on Monday of
this week and completed arrange
ments whereby he will undertake the
Investigation into the high cost of
living, under the supervision of the
prosecuting attorney. Tuesday he
started out on quest of evidence of
profiteering.
Mr.. Smoyer stated that every town
and village in the county will be in
scluded in the scope Of the investiga-
tion and he estimated that it would
take about two weeks to finish the
job.
His findings, if they show any
signs of illegal transactions will be
kept secret until the regular grand
jury meets Sept. Is.
Several people who felt that they
have been overcharged on different
commodities, have already complained
to Mr.. Smoyer and all others who
have or even think they have evi-
dence Of profiteering are requested to
lay the matter either before him or
the prosecuting attorney.

ARRESTED ON ASSAULT
AND BATTERY CHARGE

Walter Benn, aged 1S, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Fem, of South Elm
wood street, was arrested Tuesday on
a warrant sworn to by j. B. Van
Meter, charging him with assault and
battery against the nine year old son
of Van Meter.
When arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Ainsworth Fem waived
nearing and was bound over to the
grand jury.
According to Fem the Van Meter
lad and younger Fem boy were en-
gagged in a kids scrap and when he
attempted to part them the two boys
refused to stop fighting. He then
followed his words with some action.
and sent the Van Meter lad home

ent. Aside from the lectures, many
matters of local nature come up. Ex-
plantations can be given the entire
group much more effectively and
efficiently and at the very outset.
In the fifth place, the County Fair
should not alter matters for most
parts Of the county would attend but
one day; this day might be agreed
upon and call it "School Day" at the
Fair. An interruption might better
come the first week than later as has
been the case heretofore.
In the sixth place, should there
come an enforced closing due to an
epidemic or otherwise, the earlier be-
ginning would have this additional ad-
vantage. 5s
Of course, remodelling, repairing,
ETC., might make later beginning
necessary. Otherwise, It would seem
better to begin on the date named
above.

1t seems to me that there are rea-
sons why our schools should open on
September 9Th.
In the first place this is only one
day earlier than last year.
In the second place, many teachers
in the eight month schools can attend
normal school eighteen weeks during
the summer vacation and thereby se-
cure more professional training.
In the third place, the sooner our
schools begin the sooner designations
will cease and we may know the
earlier just what conditions are to be
met with as to teachers.
In the fourth place. our county in
stitnte comes September 2. 3. A and 5.
Unless we begin our schools the fol-
lowing Monday, many teachers who
come to us from other parts Of the
state will be forced to assume extra
expense or perhaps not attend the in
stftute. It is very essential that all
our teachers and especially those for

ed by her husbands abuses and the
latter refuses to pay any part of the
cost Of doctors bills.
The Christians are joint owners of
a 70-acre farm in Hinckley township,
but the husband is charged with hav-
ing neglected to properly farm the
same or keep the place in repair.

has made recent attempts to dispose
of farm tools and other property with
a view to appropriating the proceeds
for his personal use ,and the court. is

The Johnsons are residents of Chat
ham, where they were married Dec.

having beaten her about her face and
body on numerous occasions and states
that she was compelled to do the

a horse to buggy and drive it up
to the house whenever her husband
wished to 60 away for the day. In
the evening she unhitched and put
the horse away for the night. Johnson

til his breakfast was prepared, accord
ing to the petition.

FOR SEVEN DAI
SALE OF TICKETS NOT
UP TO EXPECTATI(
Will Hold Union Religious Services
In The Tent Sunday
Morning.

Thursday, the opening day Of Chau-
tauQua week was favored by the
weatherman and gave promise that
a record breaking crowd would be in
attendance.
The Althea Violin chorus arrived in
Medina early Thursday morning and
these six girls gave an entertain
ment at both afternoon and evening
performances. Col. Lou J. Beauchamp
was scheduled for lecture entitled,
"Take the Sunny Side Of Life" at
the evening performance, and those
who have heard him declare it well
worth the price of season admission.
The committee in charge OF selling
tickets announced Thursday morning
that but about TOO season tickets had
been sold, and although the last min
ute rush was expected to reach the
quota of 750, it was a disappointment
as the sale of at least thousand
tickets had been looked for. The So
icitors who started from the Winyah
club for drive in the outlying dis
tricts last Monday evening expert
enced much difficulty in disposing Of
their wares.
Religious services have been ar
ranged under the auspices of the Red
path management for Sunday morn
ing and several Of the local churches
have dispensed with their regular
Sunday morning services in favor Of
the union meeting. Fred Bohley will
sing and an orchestra Of eight pieces
will play. The combined choirs of the
