STATE ROAD BODY WILL
GRANT AID TO MEDINA

The state highway commission ha !;
promised considerable financial help to
the good roads development in Medin !.
county, a promise secured by the cour
ty commissioners and the count
engineer who met with them last week..
Wayne and Ashland, representative =
of which also met with the commissioa
are now more hopeful of the future. Th !,
improvements to be pushed include
three miles in Medina county, three
miles in Wayne and four miles in Asl
land. The state will order surve.y
and recommend federal aid fund :
approximately 100000.
There are nearly two miles south o.
Seville and two and one-half miles
north Of that village extending towar, !;
Medina which will be improved, tn
state having promised to pay half I'll .
cost of this feature. They will also
asst in the same manner with wor!,
on the pike into this town. The re %
naming two miles will be widened an |
repaired, the state standing this ez
pense. The state has appropriate !
$36, 200 for the south section and fo
the northern territory, $45, 900. It is
very probable, however, that no wor .
will be done this year, owing to tn ,
scarcity of material.
There remains about $22, 900 for thi;,
years funds after deducting the $15,-
900 expended on the Norwalk road
west from Litchfield and the additions !
$1,000 given to the Hinckley road pro
iect. This remainder has been given
to the proposed improvement north
east Of Weymouth. The commissio
gave $4,000 last winter for the repai
Of the Medina Weymouth road but ha ;
added 81 900 to this providing Medin
township supplies as much So, 900 in
all for each party.

.A0NORED IN KANSAS

It u aA 3 ID
A clipping from recent issue Of the
Pratt (Kans.) Republican announces
an item of general interest to those in
this community who were acquainted
with Myron Crocker. It says:
At the commencement exercises
Of the College of Emporia this
1 week the degree Of Doctor Of Di-
vinity was conferred on Rev. M. J.
Croker Of this city. This is an
honor only conferred upon minis
ters who have exhibited scholarly
attainments coupled with conscien-
tious and meritorious service.
The degree was conferred on
Mr.. Crocker without his knowl-
edge. In fact he did not know
that he had been given the degree
until notified from The Republican
office this afternoon. Coming to
him in this unexpected way, the
honor is much more to be appreci-
ated.
"a Myron ]. Crocker was a pupil IN dis
trict 8 school at Poe, later becoming q
teocher in Montville and adjoining
townships.
His position of power and influence
in one Of the great churches Of Kansas

EXPRESS BUSINESS GROWS

The local office Of the American
Railway Express Company have found
it necessary to put on additional help,
in order to keep up with the steadily
increasing business. IA helper has been
secured for the regular driver and an
assistant will be- added to the office
force next week #
The big increase in business is due
mainly to the big industrial enter
prises now frourishing in the city, says
the local management. The Root Co.
and the Medina Manufacturing Co. are
the principal big shippers by express
from this point and the latter expects
I'd greatly increase their output with
in the next few months.
With the locating Of the new rubber
concern here, further impecus will be
given the express business.
