Wadsworth factories abandoned fed

back one hour to central time. The
change Of time at Cleveland, Akron,
and Barberton made similar move
here imperative. Factories now
work from $50 to 11:30 a. m. and
1890 to 4:30 p. m. For the conven-
ience of everybody all clocks should
be set to central time.
N. G. Emig has completed the school
enumeration but the figures have not
yet been compiled. Mr.. Emig dis
covered an unprecedented condition
that Wadsworth has 81 empty houses
and half dozen more will be vacated
this week by families who are leaving
town. This condition will not las
long, but while it does it will likely
have depressing effect upon rent
which have been soaring to unreason
able heights during the last year.
