FROM PILLAR TO POST

Frank Hunter, an infirm stranger,
was picked up in the road near the
County Infirmary one day last week,
and brought to the Jail. Hunter is a
dope fiend and continually moaned and
begged for an opiate. Believing that
Hunter might be able to afford well
come information to federal authori-
ties by reason of his habit, upon the
advise of Prosecuting Attorney Sey-
mour, Hunter was taken to Cleveland.
There the federal authorities had no
use for him, and suggested that he be
taken to police station. A like sit
uation resulted there, the police author
tiles naming the Health official as a
possible haven for Hunter. At the
latter place the Health official was alb
sent. After waiting some time, Hun
ter's custodian, Deputy AL. Smolk, be-
coming wearied Of well-doing, could
stand the mental and physical strain
no longer, and left his ward to the ten
der mercies of any old one VINO came
along. Why wait SO long, anyway,
AL?

CAR SMASHED. IN COLLIsIoN

A collision between two autos last
Sunday night a mile north of Bruins
wick, resulted in both cars being badly
damaged, and an occupant of one
slightly injured. w. B. Baldwin and
family of Medina were occupants of
one, and Ralph Barr and family of
Cleveland, occupants Of the other.
Mrs. Barr was thrown out of her car
and bruised somewhat, tho not SER
iously. The collision is said to have
happened by the dimming of the
lights on Baldwan's car, which par
tally obscured the approach of the
other machine. Baldwin's car sus-
tanned the greatest damage; one wheel
and q fender being torn off, tho neith-
er machine was able to proceed on its
own power. The Barrs formerly re-
sided in. Medina, being relatives Of w.

tanned cut on the back of his head
and left, leg, from falling plate glass.
Mr.. Simons states that he was

BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO
GETS HEALTH STATION?

Of the eight or more counties that
nave been pressing their claims for
the proposed state rural health sta
ton, it appears now that the number
has narrowed down to two-Medina
and Portage, with whom it is "neck
and neck"
:. Until Portage county got busy Me-
dina was told she had it all over the
others, but now it seems that our
nelghbor knows a good thing when she
sees it, and is giving us a run for our
money.
This fact was learned by commit
tee Of Medina county men who ap-
peared before the State Board of
Health last Friday afternoon, and
who were E. r. Root, L. H. Randall.
and DIR. Brintnall of Medina; Mr..
Townsend of Chippewa Lake, and Mr..
Crooks Of Leroy. These gentlemen
spent the afternoon in detailing to the
state board the exceptional advantage
es offered by this county for the rural
health station, and of the whole-heart-
ed cooperation that would be forth
coming from our people.
DIR: Freeman, president of the
board, stated that no county had made
q better showing than Medina, altho
Portage county was lining up nearly
IT not. equally as well. DR.. Thorn
burg Of the board, who was recently
here, and who advised that the sta
ton be brought to Medina, was pres
ent at the Friday meeting, and sug-
gested that, as both Portage and Me-
dina counties measured up so nearly
alike, it might be we'll to establish a
station in each county.
According to the Medina committee
it is probable decision will be made
in few days. ~

to them, but they were called upon to
part with her June rs, 1891, when she

moved to Medina, where she made a
home for her younger brother for
many years. In January, 1915, death

to make her home with her sister,
Mrs. J. F. Styer, who with another
sister, Mrs. B. F. Schlabach, are the
only members Of her immediate fam

Killed Butto, alleging that the latter at
the time was awaiting an opportunity
to kill him (Cacciola). The murder
was the outgrowth Of feud of long

and carries second count, of shoot

IMPROVEMENT IN
CROPS SAYS REPORT
CORN SAFE UNLESS
EARLY FROST HITS
Rain Has Held Up Threshing and
Damaged Oats in ShOck-Fruit Crop
Developing Above August Predic-
tion-Dry Weather Imperative.

The monthly crop report for Ohio
issued jointly this week by the Ohio
department of. Agriculture and the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, shows improvement in corn.
potatoes, and tobacco, and a much
heavier production of hay than was
expected earlier in the season. The
report also shows larger crop of an
pies, peaches, and pears than was es-
tlmated month ago. Grapes are
well up to normal. Rain has serious
ly lnterfered with threshing opera
tions, oats particularly having been
damaged in the shock. The bulk of
the corn crop was still in the roasting
ear stage on the first of the month
and it was the general opinion of sew
eral hundred farmers at the State
Fair personally interviewed by the
Agricultural Statistician that it
would require at least three weeks of
warm, dry weather without frost to
mature the bulk of the crop. If a
killing frost should occur before the
20th of September, therefore, the per-
centage of soft understandable corn
would be very high.
The condition of corn September 1,
80 per cent. equivalent to 343 BUSH
els per acre); condition August /, SO
per cent; condition year ago, 80 per
cent; total estimated production 155.-
91S,OOO bushels; last year 162 100000
bushels; 10-year average production
14O, 100000. The crop is still green
and will REQUIRE from two tn 3hroa
weeks to mature under favorable
conditions.
Oats at the time of harvest 81 per
cent equivalent to Alt bushels per
acre.; condition August 1, SO per
cent; condition September 1 a year
ago, 76 per cent; total estimated pro-
duction 63, ,274,O00 bushels; last year
81 $4,000 bushels; 10 year average

been received from nearly every part
of the State indicating serious DELAY
in thfeshing and the growing of oats
