Huge crowds have packed the New

evening since the opening last Satur-
day night and no disappointment has
been registered by the public. Every
member of the company possesses
well-schooled dramatic ability and the
quality of shows presented has been

vidual members for special mention
would be a difficult proceeding, each
one of the cast being letter-perfect
and possessing an intimate knowledge
of the requirements of their various
roles.
The work of Baby Madeline was
watched with especial interest by both
the company and the public. This

work is pleasant and agreeable" }"
stated Abe Sherman, who will be 10
cal manager and instructor, land,
once mastered, it assures steady
work at big wages. The work is of
a delicate nature and for that reason
we want only such girls as show a
desire to thoroughly learn the bust
mess"
Later, it is said, the company ex-
Hpects to erect huge building here
and move their immense factory to
! this place. Such a proceeding will
mean employment to several hundred

Tells KIWANIANS
ABOUT COMMISSION
FORM GOVERNMENT

Walter /. Edmunds, superintendent
of the Sandusky schools, who form
erly held the same position in this
city, addressed the Kiwanis Club last
Friday. His talk was devoted mainly
to the commission form of city gov
ernment, system now obtaining in
Sandusky.
Mr.. Edmunds evidenced clearly the,
advantages of such system especial
" in the centering Of responsibility.
Under the commission form, each
commissioner is responsible for a
separate branch of government. I'm
der those circumstances, naturally,
more time must be given to his duties
and this, in small town, is impossi-
BILE, the salary not being sufficiently
large to justify constant attention to
duty. In addition, city manager to
handle all ends of government, is
necessary. Mr.. Edmunds noted sew
eral instances in which several thou
sands Of dollars had been saved to
Sandusky by the commission form
which permits of no politics, no graft,
no favoritism. President Root stress
ed the importance of giving full con-
sideration to the project but expressed
the belief that the time for adoption
here was not opportune.
The attendance prize, a beautiful
fountain pen, presented by w. J.
Wall, was drawn by that gentleman.
Being ineligible, another drawing was
held and the prize went to Clark
Reinhart.
This Friday the luncheon will be
held at the Church of Christ and will
be given over to Boy Scouts interests.
Rev. R. K. Caulk will be the speaker.
The attendance prize will be given by
Dwight Shepard.
Next week the speaker will be Con-
gresham Roscoe McCulloch and the
following Friday Congressman Ralph
Cole will entertain the club.

RECORDER'S Office
HAS GOOD SHOWING
IN MONTH OF April

The report of County Recorder j.
If. Styer for the month of April ex-
plains in great measure the constant
activity of that office. The amount
of business that continually pours in
to this branch of county government
is Of such proportions as to keer
steadily employed during negula1
hours the complete staff and even af-
fording opportunity for a great deal
of after-hours labor.
Total receipts for the month
amounted to $618.80, an increase Of
'$l69.27 over the receipts for April o1
last year. There were 281 deeds filed
in April, 1853 mortgages and 4d
leases. In addition, 115 mortgages
were Cancelled. The present force is
about six weeks behind in their work
as result of the increased business
but they expect to pull even with the
board by degrees.

Jennie Bowman, deputy, and H. J.
Barnabee, clerk These form trio
of hard workers, experienced in the
county records and courteous to the
public.

REVOLVING SHAFT |

living on Howard street, received a
fractured left leg Friday of last week
at F. d. Rooms barn, the result
of venturing too near a revolving
shaft on the engine. He was taken to

TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR BOY SCOUTS

Plans are being perfected by Boy
Scout patrons and officers to put on a
drive for funds to be used in securing
full equipment, including tents, for
the organization, to establish per-
manent camp and to, in other ways,
manifest the towns appreciation OF
the work Of the Boy Scouts, especially
during the Liberty Loan drives.
A scout committee, composed of
Judge N. H. Mcclure, R. D. Hyde,
w. B. Baldwin, Alvin Beck, D. s.
Longacre ,Elbert Spitzer and Blake
Mcdowell, are conferring with Scout
master George Washburn and Assist
ant Scoutmaster R. X. Caulk with a
view to forming some definite plan Of
raising fund Of probably $1,000 for
the boys.
Rev. Caulk will address the Kf-
wants Club this Friday on the subject
and it is believed that that live organ
ization, appreciating the good work
accomplished by the Scouts in the
past and the many opportunities Of
benefitting the community in the fu-
ture, will take up the project itself
and take charge Of the campaign.
Boy Scouts should be pretty good
material for future Kiwanians. Mr.
Edmund, who spoke to the club las,
week, mentioned the helpfulness o1
the Sandusky club to its local Boy
Scouts and it is presumed that the
Kiwanis Club of Medina will interest
itself in our juvenile organization.
