IN rage that any one should listurb
my gloomy reflections.
"Mr. Singleton? Oh This is Alice
speaking-"
! clutched the shelf for support.
Not only was 1t Alice speaking, but
IN the kjndest voice Imaginable My
anger passed. but my amazement Mt
Alice and all her ways blinded me.
If she had suddenly stepped through
the wall my surprise could not have
been greater.
'Nou told me the Thackeray was
your usual refuge in town, so
thought I'd try It. Are you very, very
cross? I'm sorry, really | am-Bob I"
The "Bob" was added lingeringly,
propitiating. Huddled in the booth,
| doubted my wondering in
deed whether Alice hadn't a double
ever, whether hadn't dreamed every
thing that had occurred at Barton.
Il wanted to speak to you ever so
much al the theater, but | couldn't

that. 1t might have caused compli-
cations"
If anything could have multiplied
the existing complications, l was anx-
ious to know what they we're; but
her voice was so gentle, so wholly
amiable, that I restrained an impulse
TO demand explanations.
"Are you on earth or are you

No; really it can't We shall be
motoring back to Barton tomorrow
and hope you can join us. Let us
have luncheon and motor up to-

When suggested that l call for

THAT would be telling things

HAS SOUTHWESTERN
ORDERED SWITCH?

Editor Sentinel: Spring is here
and things are warming up with pros
poets that soon we will have nice
weather. Among one of the first
things that should be done in Medina
is the cleaning up of N. Court street.
Before this can be done the paving
must be completed, and before that
can be finished it is necessary that
the Southwestern switch be installed.
Now, Mr.. Sentinel, has that switch
been ordered? Of course railway
officials say it has, but an official Of
the company told Council more than a
year ago it had been ordered, would be
on hand in time, yet last fall it was
known that it had not been ordered,
the statement to Council was false, and
men came out-TWICE-to measure
the ground so as to work on the order
as soon as received. Some one ought
to get busy and make certain that this
switch will be received on time, and
then make certain that the contractor
will get busy as soon as weather con-
ditions will permit. Properly push
ed this street can be finished by June
!. Why not?
HURRY.

MISS LAW GIVES HER SIDE OF
SCHOOL DISPUTE.

Editor Sentinel: In the way Of ex-
planning the reason for my sudden
resignation am forced to give a
statement to your paper since the
facts were misrepresented in the IS
sue of Feb. 13.
Mr.. Conkle states that / was only
teaching five periods per day, but the
school records show contrary to the
above statement; that / taught SIX
periods and conducted an assembly
besides, making seven periods per day
and allowing only 40 minutes for any
preparation during the school day.
NV objection was not to the num-
ber of periods, for in spite Of the
school law which Mr.. Conkle quotes
every teacher in the school is carry
ing the full requirement Of the law
and I was certainly not an excep-
tion. What seemed more serious to
me was the plan to limit the number
of classes offered in history in order
to make the history teacher availa-
Bile for work in the science depart
ment. It was Mr.. Conkle's plan to
eliminate the beginners class in mod
ern history in order that l could take
a class in science. The State law
requires High school teachers to
make years of preparation before she
is qualified to teach subject in a
first grade High school. Having
spent four years in college and hav-
ing done post graduate work in Col
umbia University, I was qualified ac-
cording to law to teach history. As
science is in no way correlated to
history / was neither qualified nor
inclined to change my work. .
To require a teacher to teach sub
ject that she has not made specially
is violation of State law and an in
justice to the boys and girls as well.
The paper also stated that point
blankly" refused to teach another
subject. I neither point blankly" re-
fused nor was I even consulted about
the matter. was told that my sched-
ule was to include science work ano
to my reply that I was not qualified
to teach science, / was told that resig.
nation was my only alternative.
believe that no fair minded teacher
will approve of such tactics. Upor
handing in my resignation, Mr. Conkle
protested saying / had no witness te
his conversation and being assured
that no longer wished to be affiliat-
ed with an institution under this
management, resignation WAS my
only alternative.
It behooves the public to get &C
quainted with the conditions in theil
own institutions and be sure that the
law is not violated in any respect
lest they lose their standing as &
first class High school.
, l also wish to correct the statement
that my resignation was persona
matter. Very sincerely,
MARTHA LAW.

LET OTHER MAN GO HUNGRY

Editor Sentinel: I am in the res
taurant business, feeding the public
and striving to accommodate people
who have no other place to eat. I am
running an honorable business, am a
good citizen and do not like to be at
tackled in a public address. A few
weeks ago, am told. "man of the
cloth" in public gathering, got up
and expressed horror that restaur-
ants and garages in Medina were per-
mitted to keep open on Sunday.
What's a man who eats at the res
taurant to do over Sunday? Hiber-
nate like bear? Because a man has
wife to cook his three meals, and
gets three good ones on Sunday, must
many others having no wives to per-
form this duty for them sit and hold
their stomachs till Monday morning
Then, too, in the case of the gar
ages: if man and his family out on
ride breaks down in Medina, must
he and his amily sit there in the auto
till Monday comes because it is
wicked to fix him up and start him
on his way? Or would this pastor
force him to hire some farmer to pull
him back to town, not remembering
that it is as bad for the farmer to
work as for the garage man.
The Jews had temple law that q
man could not travel more than q
mile on Sunday without sin, and
courting punishment by the priest
hood. But if you remember, Jesus
made light Of this law and he and
his disciples trampled it under their
feet oftentimes. Feed Me.

AN ECHO FROM THE CREEK

Editor Sentinel:- After reading
La Fayettes report of the "Senate"
and it's deliberations in a recent issue,
we feel impelled to reply or rather to
remark upon those deliberations, and
perchance add some comment on the
causes that give rise to such cogi-
tations on the part Of such momentus
bodies. Presumably the nail keg So
ciety in the grocery.
Firstly the reporter announces
that only one out of 27 raised hand
when the president of said body ask
ed how many had their names on the
church roll.
The first recorded query why they
did not belong to the church is: eve
don't believe there is five per cent Of
those who do belong live up to the
commandments and the discipline Of
the church." We would ask the
several members of that august body
if that is plausible reason why they
should not belong to the church and
help weak ones to make that percent
age higher.
Is it right to know what is right
and then evade doing it because some
one else is mot doing as he should? No
one wants to live in community
where there is on church or church in
fluences. So come ye Senators" if
that is your only excuse, for denying
yourselves the help to our inheri-
tance in heaven, thrust it aside and
come into the church like men, and
show by your precept and example
that we poor pilgrims who need your
influence can live more nearly the
perfect life by your presence.
"Do they visit the sick and the poor
and help the needy?" is the next gues-
ton. My dear Senator, that is a
most potent subject belonging to
church members and outsiders alike.
That is every human beings duty
whether he be church member or not.
We frankly confess that the church
does not do as much as it should |;
neither do our Senators. If they did
there would not be so much suffering
and crime in the world today as there
is.
The church may not be doing its
duty, but is that any reason why you
should not unite yourself with it and,
again, by noble example and patient
admonition set these faulty church
members Alright?
Don't stand off there throwing
stones, but come, join the rank and
file and show by your clear cut Judge
ment, manifested in your reasons
for not joining) just how a church
member ought to live.
"Do those that have fine clothes as.
sociate with those who can't afford
them?"
Forsooth! We don't have fine
clothes in our church; but I am sure
that if they did no one would be SC
narrow minded and foolish dis to lool
down upon those who could not affore
them. And say Mr.. Senator, If yor
want that question satisfactorily an

PRUNE YOUR TREES NOW
AND GET BETTER RESULTS

Every good day from now until the
blossoms are out should be utilized in
pruning fruit trees, advises the de-
Dartment of horticulture Of O. s. u
Demonstrations have shown that the
thinning out of surplus . twigs and
small branches will both increase the
quantity and improve the quality Of
the fruit borne.
The removal Of heavy branches eN-
cept in cases Of emergency is moi
recommended. The best practice ID
the elimination Of crowded wood gen.
orally throughout the tree rathe,
than heavy cutting at single points, 50
that all parts of the tree shall receive
equal benefits. Prune lightly and an
nually for best results.

swered just come to our next monthly
Community meeting" which orfgi-
mated along that line.
One of our townsmen was asked to
come to church. He answered that
he worked out of doors all week and
had to wear such heavy clothing that
If he changed to his best clothes to
come to church he would take cold. It
was suggested that he wear his every
day clothes to come to church. He
said he would if others would, and
they agreed. The result was "com-
munity" service is now held
each month, every one.-men and
women-to wear their every day
clothes. The first meeting was held
Lincoln's birthday and certainly was
one of the happiest meetings it has
been my good fortune to attend.
A good old-fashioned Puritan pro-
gram consisting of speaking, sing
ing, victrola music, and supper, and
a splendid short sermon by the pastor
to finish off with. Incidentally the
supper was fine. No financial con-
sideration about it. Our church is
not run altogether for peoples stom-
achs, nor do I believe God smiles up
on or blesses or even sanctions church
es whose finances are obtained by
such means. If we love our church
as our souls sweet earthly home, oh,
let US go down into our pockets and
support it with our own hard earned
dollars, as we do our temporal homes
and not resort to gathering our money
through outsiders digestive organs.
But am DEPRESSING.
Then comes that time-worn subject
about the poor pastor and the rooster.
Can you ask such question when he
has been prosecuted from time i'm
memorial because of that tough old
rooster. Any preacher who has re-
naming in his anatomy one atom of
self respect would starve Gas some of
them are doing) rather than make a
call at one Of his Pensioners who
kept flock Of chickens. Preachers
and yroosters have been Unidentified
with one another so long that it is no
wonder they both fear and keep their
distance from each other. Bro. Re
porter you best sell that yellow-legged
speciman of H. C. L. and tithe the pro-
ceeds into the preachers salary; and
maybe he can thus be enabled to af-
ford conveyance whereby he can call
upon his Pensioners without having
} stay to dinner. Your chickens
may after generation or so become
more reconciled to life and you and
your family will see more Of the man
who, no doubt, could help you to raise
that five per cent to fifty or seventy
