Bigelow, Messrs. Best and Bohley
and Mrs. John Bowles, with Miss
Sipher violinist soloist. The choir
and organ We're augmented with a
four piece orchestra which added
much to the volume and strength in
the chorus work.
Mrs. Bowles sang in her rich con-
tralto voice, the beautiful solo LEAD
Kindly Light'-by Shepperd. Mr..
Best's selection, very fine one for his
excellent voice, eye Hath Not Seem
"a solo taken from Gaul's "Holy
City"-was well rendered by the So
leist. Fred Bohley sang the solo,
"Fear Ye Not, O Israeli, by Buch.
His work is always well received by
his many friends here. Mr.. Bohley
will assist in the Vespers every
month during the winter season.
Miss Sipher played in fine style the
beautiful "Reverie," a real violin gem
by Rossi. AS a fitting close to the
Vespers came Medina's soprano, Mrs.
Bigelow, who sang the solo II Will
Extol Thee"-by Costa-a wonderful
work for the soprano voice. The work
was done in only the way this our
native singer does her work and the
accompanist deserves no small amount
of praise in his work on this really
difficult number. It was service
long to be remembered by those who
can worship through music in the
realms of the beautiful.
The next Vesper service will be
given on the last Sunday afternoon
of November and will be in the nature
Of Thanksgiving Festival.

MAYORALTY ELECTION A
"SLOW RACE" CONTEST

The election for Mayor Of Medina
this fall is what one might term a
"slow race" if Sentinel readers I'M
derstand what that means. A "slow
race" is one in which two or more
very dilapidated and foot-weary horses
are entered, the primary object being
to find a horse that can't cover the
course in anything like reasonable
time. Then the riders are switched,
no individual being permitted to ride
his own nag, his only hope of winning
being based on the inability of its
rider to get the horse across the line.
That seems to be the status in the
mayoralty race-each candidate is
hoping that the other fellow will
win. The salary is $100 per annum;
nothing to brag about.
Harold West is the Democratic
candidate. He favors improving the
streets as fast as the property owners
petition and desire it. He says it
should not be a question of improving
only the main thoroughfares, but
even the cross streets if the people
who must pay for the major por-
ton of the cost desire it; but in no
case to force improvements where the
people can't afford it, and don't want
it. He's for making Medina a pleas
ant place in which to live, a city of
happy homes, and place where the
expense of living is kept well within
the means of the hard working citi-
zen.
Harry Hartzog is the Republican
candidate. He is permitting his name
to be used for the same expressed rea-
son as his opponent--that he does not
wish to qualify as a Stacker. He ex-
pressed the belief that in matters of
public improvement there should be
more of executive ability in the future
than in the recent past-wishing to
cast no aspersions but feeling that a
man must be business man in his
own right before he can qualify as
such in the employ of the people. He
is willing to go record as promising
a business administration, and in
mild way deplores the procrastination
shown in improving N. Court street.

N. COURT PROPERTIES
SOLD WITHIN WEEK

Valuable N. Court street properties
have changed hands within the past
few days. Elmer Brown, who owned
the garage, barber shop and residence,
all in block on the west side of the
street and within a few doors of The
Sentinel office, were sold.
S. c. Hanshue, tenant in his garage,
has purchased the property occupied
by him for some time. Will Ulmer
acquired possession Of the barber shop
and the residence until recently oc-
cupied by the Smell family, next door
to it. While the buildings are moth
ing to brag about, the lots are among
the most valuable on the street; and
once the paving of N. Court is COM
pleted, these properties will rapidly
advance in value.

Dake's milk trucks had run into a

to kick until tired of the exercise.
Little damage was done and when the
horse became exhausted he was easily

SHTp SHORTAGE
MOVIES CANTTCKS
EN- UP

London. Friday. March An Off
cial statement issued by Canadian
military headquarters in reference to
rioting at Kinmel Park says it is re-
GREETED that some of the accounts Of
the fighting, in which Canadian SOL
diers took part. exaggerate the seri-
o,lsness OF the incident. but gives no
details Of what happened.
It is explained the lack of ship
ping facilities to take Canadian SOL
diers back home is due partly to
strikes, and it is stated that the dis
satisfaction of the soldiers over al
legged preferential treatment in en-
harkations may be attributed to the
fact that the men have been divided
into sections according to the cana
dian military districts, from which
they came. By this means some short
er service men were sent home ahea d
of some who had been under arms
for longr period. A special court of
inquiry has been ordered otconduct
an investigation.
