MEDINA cow TESTING ASSN.
WINS THIRD PRIZE

The exhibit of ten cows sent to the
State Fair by the Medina Cow Test
ing Association won third place
among the COW test exhibit. This
was more than was expected as it was
the first year that an attempt has
been made to send this exhibit. Next
year it is hoped much better ex-
hibit can be shown. The first place
was won by the GAINESVILLE associa-
ton with ten Jersey cows whose
average production was over 10000
lbs of milk and GA lbs. of fat in one
year. Penfield was second with nine
Holsteins and one Jersey averaging
over $4,000 lbs. Of milk and 528 lbs.
of fat. The average for the Jerseys
and three Holsteins from the Medina
association was 9532 lbs. of milk and
429 lbs. Of fat.
Hollister and Clarence Nettleton,
sons of E. w. Nettleton, of Medina,
had two cows entered in statewide
contest for boys and secured sixth
and eighth places respectively. Both
are entering for another years work
and are planning to get nearer the
top next year.

CHI JANGLING IN
BUCKEYE PIPE LINE CASE

be case of the Buckeye Pipe Line
VS.. Calvin M. Brandt ct al, in
y h the plaintiff seeks to condemn
hit of way through the lands of
dants, was on trial as the Sen
tinel went to press. The case was
called Monday, and after preliminary
controversies and agreements between
attorneys for both sides, witnesses
were called and sworn Wednesday and
Calvin M. Brandt put upon the witness
stand.
Mr.. Brandt owns a farm near
Brunswick through which plaintiff
wishes to lay pipe line. In his tes-
timony Mr.. Brandt declared he con-
sidered his farm would be damaged
about $1,000 by the construction Of
such a line.
The line as proposed is simply a
feed line, and is to start at a point
near Lodi and run to the pumping
station near Brunswick. 1t will cross
one corner of the Brandt home farm.
In cross examination the company's
attorneys brought out the fact that
Mr.. Brandt had given another COM
pany a better contract with a much
wider scope of use than this one con-
templates for 25c an acre, or much
less than he demands from the Buck
eye people.
Four other witnesses were called to
testify Wednesday and the case is
still on hearing as the Sentinel goes
to press Thursday.

SUNDAY DRUNK STARTS
TO CLEAN UP TOWN
But Lands In Cooler And Pays
Fine of Hundred Dollars And
Costs.

VIM. Halliwell of Big Prairie, Ohio,
was arrested Sunday while driving a
motor-vehicle in an intoxicated con-
dition and was fined $100 and costs,
amounting in all to $104.85, before
Justice Of the Peace Ainsworth on
Monday morning.
Halliwell with his wife and child,
were returning from Cleveland. The
former stopped at Brooklyn and i'm
bibed too freely of concoction Of
raisin mash which according to later
developments, must have had decided
kick.
Reaching Medina Halliwell drove his
Ford straight through crowd Of peo-
pie who were boarding car at the
electric station. Turning west on
Liberty street the driver stalled his
car and jumping out proceeded to
clean up a number of Medina people
who were standing in front of Lam
phears restaurant. He struck Will
Lanphear and made a pass at Walter
Webber, stating that he was going to
lick the entire town. His wife jumped
from the machine and before she was
able to rescue the child Halliwell was
on his way toward the Miller House.
Stowe White, Ed. Pierce and several
other bystanders attempted to pre-
vent the crazed man from starting his
machine but he showed fight and hit
White and Pierce.
Arriving at the Miller House Halli-
wells engine again stalled and he was
overtaken by DR.. Shaw, Dallas
Warner and Irwin Snyder. These three
succeeded in bringing him to the lock-
up where he proceeded to pummel
Shaw for his part in the affair. Doc
was not in a mood for such proceed
ings, however, and landed several
blows which sent Halliwell reeling.
Monday morning charge Of ope-
rating a motor vehicle while intoxi-
Gated was placed against Halliwell
and at the hearing held before Justice
Ainsworth he plead guilty to the
charge and was fined 500 and costs
and was sentenced to three months II

sentence, however, was renitted pend

COUNCIL MEETS AND
ACCEPTS TWO RESERVATIONS

Council met in regular session on
Tuesday evening with the new mayor,
Dallas Warner, and accepted the resig-
nations of Ward Washburn as village
treasurer and F. w. Eckert, as mar
shal and nightwatch. Washburn will
enter upon his new duties as county
auditor next month while Eckert has
been working for the electric package
for several weeks past.
Neither vacancy was filled, although
the solicitor was instructed to prepare
a new ordinance which will be sub
mitted at the next regular meeting
when a new rate of wage for night
watch and street commissioner will be
decided on. The present salary of $40
a month as nightwatch is inadequate
in this day of high prices, while
raise in the street commissioners sal
ary is necessary if the present official
continues on the job.
The question Of placing one or two
street lights out near the end Of La
fayette road was also discussed, but
nothing definite done.
In the matter of appointing coun-
Gilman to fill the vacancy caused by
Warmers elevation to the Office of
mayor, members seemed inclined to
fill the place, but after discussion, it
was agreed to let the position remain
vacant until January 1 rather than
risk the appointment of some one who
would not work in harmony with the
old members.
The usual number of bills were
passed, after which council members
either quit, adjourned or left. It is
unable to say which was done as no
motion of any kind was made, the
members merely leaving the cham
ber for a restaurant where they all
ate pie, the guest Of the new mayor.

ASSOCIATION FORMED

On Thursday evening, September A.,
a meeting was held in the Farm Bureau
Office at Medina of men interested in
the National Farm Loan Association
movement. Mr.. w. T. Copeland, a
lawyer of Wapakoneta, was sent here
by the Land Bank at Louisville, Ken
lucky, to help in the organization at
this point. Mr.. Copeland gave very
comprehensive discussion on the gov
ernment loan system through these
banks. There were seventeen men
present and nine of these joined the
association.
On Friday four others came in so
that a charter will be obtained for
thirteen members. The total amount
Of loans applied for runs to about
$4,000. On Saturday the government
appraiser, in company with the local
loan committee went over the farms
and made appraisal on each parcel to
be used as security. The appraiser
made the statement that he was much
pleased with the farm lands Of Medina
county; also that he was much sur
prised to find so many well kept and
efficient looking farms.
The officers elected by the members
are as follows: r. O. Fuller, Montville
township, President; Sidney Uhinck,
Granger township, Vice President; Al
bert Kratzer, Westfeld township, l. F.
Beachy, Guilford township, G. H. Betz,
Sharon township, Directors; Fred Hos
tettler, Montville township, j. X. Mold,
S. H. Hodinott, Loan Committee; R.
o. Fuller, Loan Committee Substitute
The directors selected w. P. Aims
worth to act as Secretary Treasurer
of the association. He will also dc
the abstracting for them and will re-
ceive loan applications. All applica-
tions must be in before the last Sat-
urday of each month to be acted on
that month. The association will be
known as the Medina County Nationa
Farm Loan Association.
The Farm Bureau officers state that
they are very pleased to see the re-
sponse made by farmers when this
opportunity was presented to then
and believe that an enduring organiza.
tion has been established here.
