MEDINA COUNTY SWEPT
BY SEVERE STORM

The electrical storm which swept
over this section of the state Monday
night and Tuesday was the worst one
experienced for number of years.
Medina county was particularly for
tunate, suffering less than number
of neighboring counties, where the
damage runs into thousands of dol
lars.
Two houses in the village were
slightly damaged as noted elsewhere,
and any number Of trees were struck.
Portions of track on the Cleveland
Southwestern were washed away, the
cars going only as far south as Sc
vile on Tuesday.
Telephone lines were in a badly de-
moralized condition which took until
Wednesday to repair the damage.
Needless to say Medina electric
lights were out most of Monday night
while the service was intermittent
all day Tuesday and Tuesday evening
The downpour of rain was God
send to the corn and potato crops, al
though many farmers were caught
with their wheat still in the field.

MAY REVOKE CHARGE
FOR INSTALLATION

With the return Friday to their
owners of the telegraph and telephone
systems by the government, the Ohio
Public Utilities commission, on it's
own initiative and without waiting
the filing Of formal complaint, in
stituted an inquiry into the neces-
sity for and the re-establishment of
the so-called installation charge"
of $3.50 established by the post mas
ter general.
The installation" or Service"
charges are made for the installa-
tion of new telephones and for re-
movals from an old to new loca-
tion. In it's order instituting the
inquiry, the commission recites that
it has under consideration the rea-
sonableness of the charge now fixed
or the necessity for any charge at
all and fixed August IL at 10 a. m.

ARREST GRUICH FOR
CARRYING A GUN

Steve Gruich, one of the foreigners
who was recently arrested with a
number of others for moonshining,
and who was later released by the fed
eral authorities, was arrested again
Monday, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons. When apprehended
for moonshining Gruich had a large
gun in his pocket. He was turned over
to the custody of federal officials who
later released him. Local authorities
then issued warrant but were un-
able to locate their man until Monday
when Sheriff Bigelow passed Gruich
along the road when the former was
geing to Akron.
The arrest followed and hearing
was held before Justice of Peace Aims
worth the same evening, when exami-
nation was waived and he was bound
over to the grand jury under $500
bond, which was furnished by Mrs.
Harry Emerson.

FOOD INVESTIGATION
STARTS next week
PROSECUTOR APPOINTS A
SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR
Various Lines Will be Included.
Gasoline Retailers Drop Price
One Cent.

Following his return from Colum-
bus, where. he had been attending a
meeting of all the prosecutors of the
state, Prosecuting Attorney Slime
gave out an announcement that a
food probe would be started in Medi-
ma county next week.
A special investigator, whose name
is being withheld for the present,
will go into the matter thoroughly un-
der the direct direction supervision of
the prosecutor.
All charges of profiteering which
have come into the prosecutors Of
flee will be investigated and books of
various retailers will be gone over if
conditions warrant it.
Not only are the grocerymen in line
for the quiz, but meat markets and
several other lines of business will be
included.
1t was pointed out at the Columbus
meeting that the present laws of
Ohio are stringent enough in most
cases to obtain the necessary convic-
tion of profteers.
Several retailers are reported to
have boasted that there is no law by
which they can be compelled to open
their books for inspection by the
prosecuting attorney. If these dealers
persist in their attitude they will be
called before the grand jury.
"' The investigation will probably re-
quire at least month and all evidence
obtained will be withheld until the
regular grand jury meets in Septem-
ber.
If after reviewing the evidence laid
before them the jury decides that
some of the present methods used by
retailers are wrong, but yet at the
same time not sufficient to warrant
indictments, recommendation will be
submitted to the press, wherein the
names of the guilty parties will be
mentioned.
Numerous complaints of profiteer-
ing are being received daily from all
over the county, and it is expected
they will become more numerous once
the investigation is started.
A number of local garagemen. fear
ing an investigation, dropped the re-
tail price of gasoline one cent on a
gallon on Thursday which, we are in
formed, makes the price of n cents
per gallon uniform as regards Stand
ard Oil products.

125 TONS TOMATOES
SHOULD CUT II. C. l..

If demand and supply has anything
to do with the price Of tomatoes, Me-
dina householders should experience
considerable relief within the next
few days, at least on their tomato
charges.
F. O. Roshon, who has gone into
the truck-farming business, has
10000 plants from which he has been
picking tomatoes for the past three
weeks. Within a week or two the apex
of production will be reached.
Mr.. Roshon states that each plant
will average peck or approximately
rs pounds of tomatoes, part of which
will be sold through retailers and the
surplus will be canned for winter
consumption.

NOMINATION OF MAYOR
THE ONLY contest
MANY REPUBLICANS ARE
NOT FOR HARTZOG
Medina Democrats Will Draw Blank
Ballots. Other Names That
Will Appear.

The prediction atmosphere which
is generally surcharged with political
topics, has failed to materialize this
time and from all appearances next
Tuesday, August II will pass without
any undue excitement being caused by
the primaries.
The only contest seen at present is
for the nomination of mayor of Medi-
ma on the Republican ticket H. H..
Hartzog filed his declaration and his
name will appear printed on the
ticket, but number OF Republicans
have decided that Mr.. Hartzog isn't
the man for the place and not know
ing who the Democrats may corral in
to taking the nomination, these in
surgents have decreed that another
Republican must be nominated-some
even going so far as to say that Dal-
las Warner is their choice.
1t seems that in addition to being
not the style Of a man wanted by
these Republicans, Hartzog was once
upon time bull mooser-in fact he
was such strong "buller" that he let
himself go SO far as to say harsh
things against his old-time Republican
friends. This all happened about the
time Harry was after the mayors job
on the bull moose ticket. After hav-
ing suffered defeat now he crawls
back-or the Republican party crawls
forward and now seeks an honest-to-
goodness nomination.
Now it seems that number of Re-
publicans who have good memories
are loathe to hand the nomination to
Mr. Hartzog, hence the efforts to find
substitute. Whether any concerted
move is under way and whether it
will attain formidable motion remains
to be seen. ....
Other names which will be printed
on the Republican ticket. for Medina
village are W. P. Ainsworth, clerk;
F. l.. Harding, treasurer; L. w,
Boyden and Hobart Edwards for coun-
cilmen. F. w. Eckert's name will ap-
pear for the nomination of marshal
but it is understood that he will moi
accept the nomination. The Democratic
party ballots will be all blank.
In Wadsworth the Republican ticket
will contain the names Of Carl Stouff
er, clerk; Thomas Lucas, marshal
VIM. Bolich, G. ]. Grey, Thos. Pugh
Morgan Meath, j. A. Crumrine, ant
! Thos. Ault, councilmen; 0. E. Swartz
R. W. Wolf and P. A. Bunnelle TO.
member board of public affairs, ant
Earl Rickard for assessor. The Demo
/ cratic ticket will contain the name
of l. N. Ebert, mayor; Thos. Lucas
marshal; w. S. Stuver, B. L. Hough
Ian and Geo. Ryland, members O.
council; A. B. Goldman, l.. D. Aul
and Lee Anderton, board public af
fairs and Owen Hartman, assessor.
In addition to this eight school dis
tricts in the county will vote on al
additional school levy-Seville village
Liverpool township, Medina township
Weymouth Special, Sharon township
,, Wadsworth township, Leroy village
and Chatham township.

WANT MORE
FOR THEIR MILK

The Ohio Farmers Cooperative
Milk Co., successor to the Northern
Ohio Producers Association, through
their president, H. w. Ingersoll, OF
Elyria, have served notice to their
city distributors that they want an
increase of four cents gallon over
the present rate of 33 cents.
Cleveland distributors claim they
won't pay the increase unless it can
be passed on to the consumer. They
claim they now pay more for milk
than in any other city in the country.
President Ingersoll stated that the
increase is wanted at once. despite
the increase granted them on July /.
The boost in price, if granted, will
apply to nearly every Medina county
farmer who ships his milk to Cleve-
land, and will cause cent raise in
the retail price of milk in Medina,
A local dealer stated Thursday that
if compromise of two cents gal
Ion was effected the price in Medina
would remain unchanged.
