FAIR IN SEPTEMBER
INVITES YOUR AID
Fair Board to Meet in April to
Further Plans-Many Attrac-
tiOns Asking For Exhibition
Space.
SOME BIG FEATURES
FOR FREE EXHIBITIONS

Medina Fair dates are Sept. 21, %,
and %, and this soon in the season
plans are being completed for one of
the best shows in the history of the or
ganization. There will be called
meeting of the board inI April at which
time matters needing attention will
be carefully considered.
The same musical organization that
gave concerts lat year in the Grand
Stand is under consideration for con-
certs this season. The instrumental
and vocal numbers given on the pro-
gram last year called forth many fav-
orable comments so an effort will be
made to get the same people this year.
A dozen what are called free attrac-
tions are asking for, dates with the
local fair. Principal among these
attractions are animal acts, embrac-
ing trained horses, dogs, cats, mon
keys, sheep and goats. The secre-
tary will try and pick something from
the many offerings that will amuse
and instruct the young people and
children.
A quartet of colored singers and per
formers, too, are seeking date. The
idea is to pick winning attraction
for the idle time between the several
beats Of the races; something that
will amuse and instruct while there is
nothing going on in the racing ring.
Many good words are being said for
this particular quartet, but it is
very high priced aggregation and the
Fair board may consider some little
time before deciding to put SO much
money into a single attraction.
The premium list was completed at
a meeting earlier in the season SO
that people wishing to make entries
can learn all about the conditions and
premiums and determine what they
wish to enter later. Every Medina
county citizen should realize that this
is his fair and plan to do all in his
power to make it success.
Some new building is planned for
this year in an effort to give better
housing conditions to the several at
fractions on display and bidding for
premiums. The finances of the
Fair are better than for some years
and the Fair board will make the
most Of these improved conditions.
If every citizen of the county who
stands a show of taking a premium
would make display of what he has
this would be the biggest show of it's
kind in the State. That in itself
would give the Medina Fair a place in
the hall of fame that would go ring
ing down the ages. Try it with what
ever you have to show.

NEW BUILDIN COMPANY
IN MEDINA VILLAGE

Realizing the immediate and pres
sing need for more and better hous-
ing conditions in Medina, a situation
being rendered still more critical by
the constantly expanding industries
here, number Of patriotic business
men have banded together and incor-
porated in the sum of $150,OO0 and
under their charter will conduct a
general real estate business, principal
of which shall be the building of
many new homes in this city.
The new company has the follow
ing directors: WYE. Giesinger, G..
j. DeArmitt, D. G. Shepard, F. w.
Woods, H. E. Aylard, C. E. Jones and
Blake Hendrickson. Mr.. Griesinger is
president of the new company and
Mr.. DeArmit will act as secretary.
Land is now being secured by the
company which is to be laid off in
lots and modest dwelling houses erec-
thereon. Work win commence with
in the next few weeks. An effort is
being made to secure sufficient labor
the element Of securing sufficient ma
terial being assured.
This building movement will prove
a highly desirable and much appreci-
ated action by the various Industries
here who contemplate adding help but
had, heretofore, seen no chance of
housing the new employees.
1t will be noted that the personnel
of the new company embraces every
bank in the city, which is evidence of
solidarity and business ecumen. Ev-
cry interest in the city should sup
port this new organization which is
intended for the general community
good. M

to Bostron, through commissions"
extracted when the loan IS made and
does not appear in the written trans
action.

building mortgages.
{ big estates and insurance compan-

their surplus in real estate mortgages
have now not only stopped doing so
but are selling the ones they have

that window glass is now selling for
three times it's prewar values; that
lumber has doubled and that other
building material has jumped three

! DR. John D. Robertson, city health
commissioner, urged passage by con-

That One Point Secured Following
touchdown is Too Much of
Gamble to be Real Sports
manship, Fans Think.
MAY MEAN LOSS OF GAME
Michigan and Chicago Crowded Out
of Championship Fights are
Lessons of This Sort of
Thing.

There is a disposition on the part
of football fans everywhere, TO de
mand the elimination of the goal rol
lowing a touchdown. The defeat OF
Chicago and it's elimination from the
Big Ten conference, and the defeat
Of Michigan both stand out as
reasons for the elimination OF this
feature of the game. There is prac'
tically no skill required in this cere-
mony. The ball is brought out re-
uuired distance and with one man
holding it, the other kicks. What
negative psychology there is In
eleven men lined up twenty-five yards
away yelling and waving their hands
is negligible SO far as good goal
kicker is concerned.
A touchdown is usually earned, but
there is no skill to speak Of in the
goal after touchdown. 1t looks as If
it were < a distinct handicap to the
team that makes the touchdown to
have to depend on a goal kick fol-
lowing it to win. 1t is disheartening
for team to fight three periods OF
a game and in the last to make a
touchdown, the same as it's opponents
did earlier in the game, and then to
fail to boot the oval over the bar,
and thereby lose the game by one
point
There is skill galore in drop-kick
and goal from the field or a goal
from placement. The line must hold
like concrete, and the men who are
ass listing a kicker in a place kick
must move in absolute unison, and
before the plunging offense breaks
through. The drop kicker stands
supreme behind wall of human
flesh. If it gives way, his effort is
wasted, but if it holds. his efforts
may be fruitful. There is a fighting
chance for both sides in either of
these plays.
But not SO in the goal kick after a
touchdown. 1t takes time out that
need not be taken out, it slows up
the game, and it is dangerous. The
man who makes the touchdown may
be the only kicker a side has. He
may have been hurt in making the
down, or he is winded and frazzled
from his fight to cross the chalk line.
1t is hardly fair to expect the out
come, finally" Of the game to rest on
a play by him, and yet that is prac-
tically what the goal after touchdown
means ..H .r-rts-

you may be the peacemakers, the
voice that will restore sanity in
heads of baseball officials" Miller
said. 1--WE still want peace and not
war and we hope there will be no
battle"
Millers sentiment against another
war in baseball was echoed by Amer
lean and National leagues alike.
The minors were to hear the Ma
tional league phase Of the squabble
today Garry Hermann. of Cincin-
natl, was scheduled to address the
meeting at eleven o'clock. Hermann
indicated he would explain that the
eleven owners favoring the Lasker
plan had made repeated efforts to
have the Johnson faction join them
in an attempted reorganization
maneuver.
The National leaguers also will
plead for baseball peace, Hermann
said. They will ask the national
association, however, to join with
them, if Cancellation Of ideas il the
major groups finally proves impos-
sible. He was expected to offer the
inducement OF the choice of one of
three members of the civilian tri-
bunal for control Of baseball affairs.
Minor leaguers agreed to receive
representatives of the big leagues
after an unsuccessful attempt to
vote against siding with either
group.
The stand was taken. however,
that the fight would not be permit
ted to smirch the harmony of the
smaller leagues and unless the
majors differences are settled the
minors probably will not affiliate
with either faction.
The expected split in the minors
ranks over league officers failed to
materialize when Secretary ]. H.
Farrell was reelected without oppo-
sition and NJ M. Sexton was again
rendered the presidency.
John A. Heydler, president of the
new National league, arrived here I'M
expectedly today to actively enter the
fight for minor league approval of the
Lasker plan.
Heydler said he would make any
reasonable effort again to bring about
peace in baseball, but that as rep.
resentative of the greatest organiza-
tion ever engaged in baseball" he
would protect the interests of his
club owners.
He said he would not appear before
the minor league meeting today, but
will, however, direct presentation of
the new national case to minor mag
mates.
