s. $. ASSOCIATION ...
!. CONVENTION OCT. l TO 2.

The Executive Committee of the
County Sunday School Association met
Wednesday evening at the home Of the
President, DR.. G. H. Smith, to outline
the work, for the coming year.
The young peoples work was given
considerable attention and it was de-
cided to hold the secondary convention
in Medina, October / and 2.
It is planned to make this conven-
ton one that will be full of pep for
the young people of Medina county,
with the very best speakers, banquet,
and live sports to complete the pro-
gram.
Chas. Knapp of Lodi is Secondary
Superintendent of the county, Miss
Blooma Zeigler is president of the
girls division, while Mr.. Chapman of
Brunswick is president of the boys.
The first Sunday in October was
set aside and request will be made of
every Sunday school superintendent
in the county to observe that day for
the Home superintendent.
An expenditure of nearly $500 was
reported by the secretary, Miss Minnie
Wells, for the past year, with every
bill paid and money in the bank. A
complete financial statement together
with list of Sunday schools who have
failed to pay their apportionment for

KIwxNIANs ENTERTAINED

Members of the Kiwanis club were
pleasantly entertained at their lunch
con fast Friday at the Church Of Christ
by three young men of the college
Gang who closed the local Chautau7
qua season Friday night. The instru-
mentation consisted of piano, violin
and banjo, and the lively selections
added material zest TO the luncheon
hour, s
The speaker was Paul Elliott Of Sc
vile, whose subject was, .The Rusi-
ness Man and the Farmer" the under
lying thought being that there should
be a better understanding between
them, as their problems and successes
overlap. Elliott believes that Medina
county should have another newspa-
per, one devoted entirely to the later
ests of the farming community, anent
which it might easily be inferred from
his words that the newspapers now in
the field do not harmonic exactly with
his ideas of what newspapers should
be.
The question Of endorsing the move
ment to secure if possible the estah-
lishmerft by the state in Medina county
Of headquarters for a proposed health
survey, was discussed, and the propo-
sition was unanimously endorsed.
Every member was instructed to write
a personal letter To the State Health
Department, requesting that the de
partment consider we'll the advantages

HEAVY fire LOSS
IN lITcHF|ELD
BARN AND rs TONS [
OF HAY DESTROYED
Medina Firemen With Big Engine
Make the Nine-mile Trip in Twenty
Minutes, But Arrive Too Late to
Be of Service.

A disasterous fire occurred Monday
night on the farm of Ted Falconer,
"a half mile south of the center of
Litchfield, near the Northern Ohio
track, totally destroying a large barn
containing seventy five or more tons
of new hay, corn crib, pig pen, chicken
coop and good sized shed, in fact
every building on the farm but the
home. The live stock was in pasture.
the pigs were rescued, but only 10
chickens were saved out of flock Of
$50 Leghonrs. ...s
The fire was discovered by al neigh
Dor about 10 o'clock, Mr.. and Mrs.
Falconer having retired. A general
alarm was sounded in the neighbor-
hood and it was but very short time
until hundred or more persons were
on the scene. The Medina fire depart
ment was called upon and the big en-
|gine was promptly manned and sent to
Litchfield, making the trip in twenty
minutes, but arrived too late to be Of,
any assistance. ....,. -
Mr.. Falconer is of the belief, which
is generally shared by his neighbors.
that the fire was the result of spon-
taneous combustion. The suggestion
had also been offered that tramp
may have been in the barn and caus-
led the fire by the dropping of light
led match or cigar stump, although
Mr.. Falconer states that no stranger
has been seen lettering in the neigh
fborhood for some time.
Insurance was carried on the prop
|erty to the amount of $4,000, which was
perhaps but a little in excess of the
present market value of the hay. Mr..
and Mrs. Falconer are a young couple
who had contracted for the purchase
of the farm only short time ago, thus
the loss falls extraordinarily heavy
upon them.

MANY CHANGES
On N. Q. RA|tnOAD.
NEW SCHEDULE IN
OPERATION SUNDAY
Saving of an Hour to be Gained in
Running Time Between Akron and
Delphos, Local Night-ofice Discon-
tinued.

A number Of, important changes in
train schedule and general operation
Of the Northern Ohio will take place
this week. The new schedule becomes
effective on Sunday, Aug. 29, although
a copy Of it had not reached Local
Agent Watkins at the time the SEN
tinel went to press.
The night office at Medina was
discontinued ON Thursday Of this
week, and simultaneously one was
opened at Copley. The reason for the
transfer was because that after Sun
day there will be maintained a regu-
lar service between Mogadore and
Copley with the new gasoline cars
The night office in Medina has been
divided into 1.-TWO tricks, w. R. Sell
lers having one, and Willis Griffin
the other. Mr.. Sellers has been trans
ferred to the Copley office, while Mr..
Griffin has not received his new as
signment yet.
1t is. understood that the new time
schedule will reduce the running time
between Akron and Delphos and hour
or more. THIS will be brought about
not by an increase of speed, but by
the emitting Of several stops along
the route. For instance, both trains
Nos; 1-and 2 after Sunday will not
stop at the following places: Barber
ton Belt, Thompson's Risleys Hunt
ington, Semple, sGardner's, Piankton,
Tymochtee, Patterson Spur and Cor
della. No. / will stop at Fairlawn
only to pick up passengers for stops
west Of Copley, and to discharge pas
sengers for point west of Copley only.
I Miss Anna Winch, who has been as
sistapt to Local Agent David Wat
lins for some time, has been trans
ferred to Greenwich ITO relieve Mr..
Walking sister, Miss Esther Wat
kins, who is seriously i'll at the home
of her brother, and Miss Doris Wor-
den has been appointed I'd fill the
vacancy in the local office caused by
the transfer of Miss Winch.

s.. 500 IN GOVERNMENT
BONDS HAVE DISAPPEARED
PART or SURETY Of Local BANK
n AS DEPOSITORY OF COUNTY FUNDS
Digem Search Bonds Unayaing Responsibility for Loss Said
With Board Of Of Officials Not
Discovered July To- Case in Charge Pros
ecuting Attorney Settlement Expected Monday

Government bonds to the value Of
$500, representing part Of $780,
600 security given to the county BY the
Old Phoenix National Bank Of Medina,
one Of the repositories of county
money, has -mysteriously disappeared
from & safety deposit box in the Me-
dina County National Bank Of Medina,
where the sureties Of all of the other
dep0Eit0ries are likewise kept.
The lost bonds are2of the fourth is-
sue Of the governments Liberty bonds,
six being Of $1,000 denomination and
three Of $500 denomination. The seri-
al numbers of the former are from
13207O7 to 1320712, inclusive, and the
latter 545422, 545423, and 545426.
The loss was discovered by z. III.
Gibbs Of the Old Phoenix National
Bank, on July 10, when he visited the
deposit box for the purpose Of clip
ping coupons, n
That the bonds were in the box on
Feb. 16 last is evidenced by the report
of State Bank Examiner Edw. G..
Hauck, who made an examination at
that time, and the checking Of which
appears in his completed typewriter
report on file at the Old Phoenix
bank. \.
Other banks than the Old Phoenix
Bank serving as repositories, are The
Medina Savings and Deposit Bank Co.,
The Medina County National Bank,

Bank Of Wadsworth and the Wads-
worth Savings and Trust Co., the Peo-
pies National Bank Of Lodi, md the

banks have been carefully examined
their officials questioned and no clue
as to the whereabouts Of the bonds
discovered from that source.
The integrity Of the county com
missi0ners is in no way questioned.
That there has been laxity in the meth
ods employed by the county commits
sioners as to the examining and ex-
change of securities, however, is now
believed by a great many, and the COM
missi0ners themselves practically ad-
nit, it. Twice during the, past week
or ten days Commissioner Albert has
made the statement in the presence Of
the writer that at the last time he
visited the deposit box with bank
representative he was SO impressed
with the carless and unbusiness like
way the securities were handled and
kept in the box, that he stated to his
brother commissioners that unless
some different arrangement was
made in that respect, he would not go
near the box again.
4 A conference was held Monday
morning between the Old Phoenix Ma
tional Bank officials, their counsel,
F. w. Woods, and the County Commits
sioners, at which time the loss of the
bonds was discussed from all angles,
and at the close Of which the commits
sioners assumed the I responsibility
for the loss, settlement Of which, it il
expected, will be made by the commits
sioners next Monday at the regular
weekly meeting of the board, says
Prosecuting Attorney Seymour. It il

mour that the county can in no way
be held responsible. M
