TO EDUCATE MEDINA
, IN Y. w. G.. A. WORK

Miss Vivien Millar, of Cincinnati,
has spent several days during the
past week in Medina planning for an
educational campaign for the Young
Woman's Christian Association,
which will take place the last week Of
January and feels certain that it will
be huge success. because Of the
strong public spirit of our citizens
and the realization that the Y. W. c.
*. is now one Of the strongest NOV
ing currents today.
Miss Millar has worked for a year
among foreign-born men and women
and she feels that there also lies a
great responsibility which must be
shouldered by Americans. The Y. w.
c. A. through their international in
stitutes is especially and peculiarly
fitted to do this work also, working
with all classes regardless of church
and color or station in life-doing
real live Christian work.
Through girls clubs such as the
blue triangle club, friendship club,

NEW LOCAL TRAINS
ON NORTHERN OHIO RY,

1t looks as if big things were do
ing on the Northern Ohio Ry., be-
tween Medina and Akron, and per-
haps later along the whole line. The
news has just leaked out that the A.
c. & Y. 80 days ago made lease of
the Northern Ohio and that it has
plans well perfected for taking over
and operating part, at least, of this
line.
The plan is to put on line of local
cars, and to begin operation between
Akron and Medina. These cars will
be OF some one of the new forms of
gas operated cars; there are several
kinds, all fairly good. This will
mean that the new local cars can be
put into service as soon as completed,
needing no additional line equipment.
They will cater to local business at
first.
One of the big trunk lines out of
Detroit operates this class of cars
over 700 or 800 miles of line, for the
local traffic only. Two and three
cars are run in train and they make
as good time on short stops as any
steam equipment.
By using the Northern Ohio tracks
passengers can be dropped down in
the busy manufacturing centers of
Akron.

MEDINA BUSINESS MEN
LIKE LOOKS OF PROJECT

There is a brokerage firm named
Eaton in Akron that makes spec
ialty of bringing manufacturers and
communities wishing for factories to-
gether, and assisting in the estab-
lishment Of the project. On Teusday
four men representing this company
were in Medina calling on business
men here and studying the site prop
osition with a view to installing a
rubber mandatory in Medina.
The rubber mandatory looking
for site is one that is now estab-
ished at Newton Falls, o. The pur-
pose not to move the Newton Falls
plant here, but to build second
plant. What this committee wished
to determine was, if Medina people
wish for such manufacturing plant,
and if so if there can be secured
sufficient water to make the project
feasible.
The delegation called on L. F. Gar
YER, president of the Medina Board
of Trade, N. o. Fuller, secretary of
the Board Of Trade and member of
the new Kiwanis club, on Blake Nc
Dowell at the Old Phoenix Bank, and
a number of others equally inter-
ested in the expansion of Medina
manufacturers and business. The Wis
itors were we'll impressed and prom
lse to make a second visit.
The tentative project is the best
that has been offered Medina in many
moons. 1t is on this wise: This
Newton Falls company will take
$75O,OO0 of million dollars in stock,
and ask Medina to furnish a site and
take $3.50, ,006.A This is a three-to-one
shot and shows that the projectors
have faith in their proposition. The
committee did not have long to stay
Tuesday, and did not see as many
people as they had wished, but prom
ise a second visit.
Invitation has been extended bv
the Kiwanis club that a speaker from
the company come here the coming
Friday, if possible, and explain fully
the project at the Friday noon meet
ing. 1t is short time for speaker
from the company to make arrange
ments, and if it cannot be done this
week then some early future date
will be arranged.
Medina business men generally are
greatly interested in securing some
business-like project for this city. A
three-to-one shot seems very tangible
and Medina business men are almost
a unit in insisting that full oppor-
tunity for discussion be given this
proposition, and if it proves as good
as it looks there is insistence that a
contract be made.

and girl reserves-they can reach all
girls regardless of age or doctrine.
She feels that as truly as worlds
feelings centered in France just as
truly the destinies of many countries
will be determined by the leadership
created from actual contact within
the war zone and that organizations
formerly limited by geographical
lines are today being claimed the
world around. She hopes to meet
with various groups and also have a
big mass meeting where there may
be discussed the needs of India, ap-
peal of China, crisis of Japan, chal-
lenge Of South America and the
moral obligation of the Y. w. C. A. to
continue the work started to many
European countries until leadership
within these countries can be estab-
lished.

Now these people should come into a
big project with their money and
help in that way and not try and
"cop off" what they have lodged in
the recent past. The day for small
building, for taking a small piece Of
the pie, has gone past; something
bigger and better is the cry at this
time. The man who is willing to in
vest a few thousand will be made as
welcome now as ever, but he should
come into the big project rather than
attempt to solve the riddle in the old
way, and in way it might have been
solved five years ago if he and others
had begun it then.
The man who wants one of these
homes can come into the bigger
project with $500 or $1,000, but at
this time it would be a hard task to
go it alone with that sum. It's in
working together in a big project in
which all can participate that the
Medina public can hope for results.
And with a company already orga-
nized and building 1876 homes in
Cleveland. this year it is easy to see
that much less time will be consumed
in getting homes built in Medina
than to attempt something new
where the machine itself must be
built up before a start can be made.
If local men can corral enough
capital to start building on scale
commensurate with the village needs,
then we'll and good. If such is not
possible an effort should be made to
keep the selfish individual from
throwing money wrench into the
works if started by some outside
cOmpanV.

LOSES HIS INSURANCE
in TAKING A CHANCE

One of the sad conditions in the
sudden death of G. V. Kingsbury, last
week, is found in the lapse of his life
insurance a few weeks before his
death. He was insured for $4,000 on
policy that doubled in case of death
by accident, thus carrying a total
benefit in his case of $4,000. But the
lapse a few days before death means
a total loss on the policy.

have been given in the beginning. In
addition to these the following early
became members of the church, if
in fact, some of them were not men,
bers at first: The Buchanans, Ruffs,
Kirkpatricks and Richardson's. 1t is
said that Mrs. Buchanan, who was
the mother of Mrs. William Gordon
and of Mrs Jane Donald, and the
grandmother, of Mr.. H. w. Cor

first person to contribute in a fnan-
cial way to the support of the minis
ter in charge. The money was offered
to Eli Bowie, who informed Mrs.
Buchanan that no money was paid
for the preaching, but she insisted on
paying, saying that she had been
reared in this way and desired to
support the preacher in financial
way.

against speculation.

bank, sis the natural and inevitable

Stabilized Cotton Goods Prices
Unsettled by Raw Market Drop
Feeling Prevails i'm Trade
That Deep Revision Will
Be Made; lO-Cent Level
Would Not Surprise Some

Although feeling prevails in the
cotton goods market that stabilized
prices Will be reached within the next
lew weeks. 1t IS not clear at present
now much Of revision will have TO
De made to reach stabilized market.
Calculatlons of those who have the
matter Of making new prices in hand
were 1urther upset yesterday By the
continued downward trend of raw cot
ton, together with reports reacI jnc
the market to the effect that spot cot
ton IN the remote .centers Of the South
was selling at considerably lower
prices than Those quoted on the ex-
changes. Some of the best informed
men in the goods trade assert that
lorcent cotton is not impossible.
mat there IS pressing need for
goods to fill IN empty shelves is irdi
Gated by the fact that most Of the or
GERS beng placed now are for imme-
dlate delivery. One house reported
several good-slzed orders for general
lInes OF Jobbing goods for delivery
durlng January. The house in question
IS taxing orders on q memorandum
basis and expects to name prices some
the 18th. N'''
Inc depth Of new price revisions, ac-
cordlng to some selling agents. will
depend largely on what the leading
producers Of ginghams decide to do
IN the way of making new prices 1t
has been rumored in the trade that
the glngham people are PLANNING TO
make deep cuts On the other hand.
1t is believed Shat the existing supply
and possible production Of einghams
are not over-large and may influence
the producers to make relatively
slight reductions.
From the statements OF selling
agents it is gathered that even if new
low prices arc made they are not ex
pected to continue for any great length
OF time 1t is almost certain that a
real show of buying power will send
prices on the upward trend, if the
judgment and desires of trade leaders
count for anything.
