THIEF GETS
SHOT GUN RECEPTION

Last Saturday night Oliver Morlock,
who resides on the Sheldrick farm,
State Road, engaged in a gun battle
with man who was sneaking off with
bag of Morlock's chickens.
Barking Of his dog followed by the
cackfng Of chickens told Morlock that
something was wrong. Grabbing his
gun he went to the back door and fired
shot at random. Immediately fol-
lowing came two shots at sMorlocK
from a clump Of bushes in the yard.
Morlock saw the form of man NOV
ing near the bushes and fired two
shots at it, which exhausted his ammu-
milton. Before he could reload the
man had disappeared.
Morlock communicated with the
sheriff's office and Deputy Hange ac-
companied by Marshal White .hastened
to the Sheldrick home. The officers
took with them the county's blood
hound. A trail of blood was found
from tha bushes to the road, which
was as far as the dog was able to
scent. The thief dropped the bag of
chickens in making getaway.

tised that the members of the associ-
alton would meet for lunch prev
ious to the session, but when eighteen

them with a chicken dinner and "all
the trimmin'".
The session following the dinner
was pronounced by number Of the

,ty quartet, composed of Messrs.A Flick
niger, Barnes, McMeeken and Wright
sang three numbers during the ses-
sion, which were well received. The

voked considerable discussion on the

the second Monday of December,
place to be later announced by the
program committee. Rev. A. Irwin
ofiMedina, will give the special paper

TIRE PRODUCTION ss
is NOW AT LOW EBB

Rubber production in Akron is now
at its lowest ebb for the year, reports
from there show, owing, it is said,
both to operating curtailments re-
sulting from reduced demand and to
suspension for inventory. Leading
rubber manufacturers say the outlook
for the industry has not materially
changed the past month. Sales are
not Increasing and in some quarters
there are reports, Of further decline
in buying
Inventories will tell the story of the
extent Of loss which .pfVducers have
suffered from decline in value Of both
raw material and finished product.
There is a disposition to believe these
markets have about, If not entirely,
touched bottom, so the inventories at
this time will be especially illuminat-
ing. Smaller, companies some Of
which We're not in a position to lay In
such large stocks as the leading inter
ests, are escaping with relatively less
losses on this account.
Goodyear with normal daily tire
capacity Of ga 900 tires is now operat-
ing on a $500 tire basis; Goodrich with
$4,000 on a {, 900 tire basis while Fire
STONE production is commensurately
reduced. Marked retrenchments have
been made by the smaller concerns.

TWO ORDINANCES ARE
PASSED BY COUNCIL

The payment of about the usual num-
ber Of bills and the, passage of two
ordinances constituted practically all
the business transacted by Village
Council at its regular monthly meet
ing Tuesday night
One ordinance was for the borrowing
Of money in anticipation of the collecA
tion of special assessments for the i'm
provement of North Court street from
Liberty to Union streets. The other
ordinance is for vacating an alley 33
feet in width running east and west at
the rear of the A. I. Root Co.'s plant,
north of West Liberty street.
The existence of this so-called alley
was unknown to the present owners,
the Root Co., or to any one else so far
as can be learned, until recently, when
the allotment Of a large tract of land
by the Root Co. adjoining it's plant
and extending to the Branch road made
necessary a reference to an old plat
of the village, in which the alley was
indicated. The alley has long since
been obliterated, but to obviate pos
sible legal entanglements in the future
it was thought best to have the strip
OF land declared vacated by due legal
process.
Both of the above ordinances appea,
in full in another part of this paper.
A letter to. council asking that an
ordinance be passed making it illegal
for auto and truck drivers to use cut
outs within the village limits, was re-
ferred to the ordinance committee for
consideration. Similarly a\written
complaint against the dilapidated con-
dition of the Northern Ohio railroad
crossing at the foot of South Court
street was referred to the street COM
mittee.

''OvER THE HILLS
TO THE POOR HOUSE,
MOTHER AND FAMILY OF
SIX CHILDREN ARE TAKEN
Father Said to be Earning Good
Wages in OIL Field-Children in
Rags, Education Neglected Home
Filthy and Des0late.

At the direction of the Harrisville
township trustees, Superintendent
Platt Foskett of the County Home
went II the home of Francis Spice,
northwest of Lodi one day last week
and removed Mrs. Spice and her six
children to- the Infrmary.
The children range in age from 1
to $ years, and were filthy and in
rags, little girl being clad in her
brothers trousers which, said Mr..
Foskett, bearely held together. The
mother was absent when Foskett call,
ed, but was fund later wandering
along the roadside. There was no
fire nor food in the house.
A singular phase OF the case is
that the father is said to be regular
ly employed in the Chatham oil field,
and earning a fairly large wage. Be-
sides the precarious existence of the
Spices it is reported that the educa-
ton OF the little folk is being neglect
ed and their spirits broken by ulsier-
feeding, and the filthy and degraded
condition of the home.
The bottle from which the baby was
fed was black with dirt, and the
mother admitted to Matron Foskett
OF the County Home that she was ig-
norant of the proper way of prepar-
ing the baby's nourishment. Added
to the already deplorable condition of
affairs is the discovery that the moth
er is soon to have another increase in
her family.
The County Commissioners at their
meeting Monday criticised the Har-
risville trustees for saddling the fam
lily onto the county until they them
selves had afforded temporary COM
fort and communicated with the faith
er. The Commissioners also direct
ed Superintendent Foskett to confer
with Prosecuting Attorney Seymour
as to what legal action, if any, is nec-
essary to place the responsibility for
the family elsewhere than with the
county. VI

KIWANIANS HEAR TWO
ADDRESSES ON HEALTH

About t-sixty Kiwanis club members
and a number Of guests attended the
club luncheon at St. Paul's parish
house Friday evening to hear mes
sage from Dr.J John R. Mcdowell, ,direc-
tor Of Lake Division of Red Cross, and
a foHner well-konwn Medina man. Mr..
Mcdowell was accompanied to Medina
by DR.. Clark Of the Department Of
Red Cross, Washington. D. C.
Tho not scheduled for a talk to the
club, Dry Clark was called upon and
his remarks provedyto be Of great in
terest. He pointed out the vital ne
cessity of a universal campaign of
health and the prevention of sickness
and oftentimes death, particularly by
scientific examination and treatment
of the young, and of mothers before
and following the birth period.
DR.. Mcdowell detailed the aims Of
Red Cross to bring about the ideal
health conditions hoped for, but en-
phasized the fact that such a consum-
NATION could only be Obtained when
the people as whole awakened to
the need, which awakening must be
accomplished by thorough and per-
sistent campaign Of education. Sta
tistics show, said DR.. Mcdowell, that
only about one-third Of the country's
population, if examined, could trulyNbe
classed as physically and mentally nor
NAL. This fact, according to Dr.. Nc
Dowell, was quite definitely brought
out in recruiting days Of the late war.
Dr.. Clark spoke in Seville later the
same. evening, returning to Medina,
where, he and DR., Mcdowell were
guests for the night of Mr.. and Mrs.
Blake Mcdowell.

WADSWORTH CITIZEN ,
~ is STRUCK BY TRAIN


Enos Yoder, residing three miles east
Of WadsVorth. was struck by an Erie
freight train about 10 o'clock on Thurs
day evening of last week at the South
Main street railroad crossing in Wads-
worth.
Mr.. Yoder was on his way home
from directors meeting of the Farm
ers Equity Exchange at the time of
the accident. While he was crossing
the Erie tracks the fast train hit his
auto, wrecking the machine and seri
ously injuring Yoder. The car was
running in low gear and the noise pre-
vented Yoder from hearing the train.
He was conveyed to his home in an
ambulance, where it was feared for a
time that he could not live. His con-
dition since was reported as improving.

MOTHER and FATHER
DESERT CHILDREN
LEFT WITH NEIGHROR,
NOW AT COUNTY HOME
Parents Thought to be in Erie Coun-
ty-Were to Have Returned in Two
Days, Now More Than Two Weeks
Prosecutor Has Case. ,f

Cruelty deserted by their mother
and father, three little children are
now being cared for at the County
Home, having been brought there last
week from, Wadsworth. They are
the children Of E. Burt Fenton and
wife, and range image from 8 to IL
years, the youngest being a girl.
According to Superintendent Fos-
kett of the County Home, the mother
shortly before her departure asked a
neighbor to care for the children for
a couple Of days. The neighbor, Mrs.
Thos. Kale, consented, and it was not
until the parents had beeH gone for
nearly two weeks that Mrs. Kale
brought the matter to the attention
of Humane Agent Waffle and the
Wadsworth township trustees.
The children are not old enough to
realize the heartliness of the parent
al act, and the kindly treatment they
are receiving at the Home appears to
have ightened the anguish of heart
it would seem they must have sensed
when abandoned by the ones who gave
them life and whose protection and
love they had every right to expect.
The little girl /cries CONTINUALLY for
mother, while the youngest Of the
! boys with a veiled spirit Of bravado
seefs to softeA his sisters sorrow by
exelaiming to her: BE s sport"
Tie children were poorly clad when
brought to the County Home, said
SSupt. Foskett, and show plainly the
lack Of proper care. They appear to
be unusually bright, however, and it
is believed that if reared in suit
able environment and under whole
some conditions, they would develop
into worthy manhood and woman
hood A ,i~
Whefe the parents went is not
known, and how they could have
brought themselves to commit such a
villainous and unnatural act is in
conceivable to a healthy mind. Eff
forts are being made to locate the
couple and bring them to the justice
they deserve. \

LOVE FOR WADSWORTH
y DIVORCE ACTION CAUSE

Because his wife declines to leave
the rural quiet Of Wadsworth for the
noise and "worry of the big town.,
Frederick L. Jenkins is suing his wife
Mary, for divorce. They were mar
ried March 20, 1908, and have five
children ~
Four years ago Jenkins left Wads-
worth for Akron, where he obtained
employment After he had been there
for time he rented house and furn-
ished it in preparation for the COM
ing of his family. Then he went to
Wadsworth and explained to his. wife
the joys and advantages to be found in
the larger field. The wife was cold
to every plea and refused to return to
Akron.
Now jenkins is asking for a divorce
because his wife will not 60 to Akron
and he cannot return to Wadsworth.
He declares the reason his wife will
not join him is because she is associ-
ating with another man who also re-
fuses to leave Wadsworth.

KIWANISi CELEBRATION
OF ARMISTICE DAY

Thursday Of this week was Armis-
tice~ day and the Kiwanis club sig
nalized the occasion Wednesday eve
ming with dinner at the Church Of
Christ, to which the ladies were in
vited.
The affair was a gala one, each
one present wearing an ornate head
piece carrying the national colors,
and being provided with tin horn
and bell with whichrko contribute to
a general badlam. Chicken pie was,
the chef d'oeurve, Of which about 80
club members and guests partook. AS
usual attendance prizes were drawn,
an episode in the life Of Kiwanis
club that>i is looked forward to with
interest. II
Z The speaker Of the evening was
State Senator-elect J. F. Burke, editor
Of the Elyria Chronicle, who was ac-
companied to Medina by Mrs. Burke.
The underlying, thought Of Mr..
Burke's address was that. the solu-
CAOAA u SlIdL PlODlCHlp Cdll IlOL NC
solved by force. That the turmoil
of life is largely due to wrong at
titude of mind, and that while child
may be restrained from doing wrong
through fear of punishment, his de-
sire to do wrong is not lessened there
by. The speakers idea was that
the mental attitude must be changed
from wrong to right, whether in in
dividual or nation, before, lasting
peace on earth can be attained, and
that the United States by virtue Of
nearly a century and half Of ideal
fstic national honor, is in position
to impress upon the world the /tangi-
BILE advantages of Righteousness in
bringing about universal peace among
nations.
Mr.. Burke spoke for about an hour,
This is the second time he has ad-
dressed the Kiwanis club, the first
occasion beingrat a noon-day luncheon
last July.

bill against Lester McDavitt of Litch-
field for the alleged abandonment of
his four legitimate children, aged
respectively five, eight, eleven and

ed up Sheriff Bigelow and stated
that McDavitt was going to board the
west bound Northern Ohio train that
morning. Sheriff Bigelow reacl,ed
the depot just after the train had
pulled OUT but telephoned to Litch-
