DISTINCT s. GUESTS
AT WANTS LUNCHEON

Upward Of one hundred members
and guests were at the weekly lunch
>eon of the Kiwanis club last Friday
at st. Paul's parish house, about half
of which number were Ohio beekeep-
ers, who were in Medina to attend the
annual field meet of the State Bee
keepers association, held at the plant
Of the A. /. Root Co,
There were no set addresses, but
Prof. Jonathan Rigdon, president Of
Central Normal College, Danville, ILL.,,
an instructor at the Medina county
teachers institute held here last week,
made a brief talk, as did j. B. Dom
ahey, cartoonist Of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Mr.. Donahey, modestly disclaiming
ability as public speaker, stated that
he would be glad to express himself
by his usual and only means the
pencil, and proceeded to do so greatly
to the pleasure of all. He made life
size, halfrninute sketches of Sam
Brainard, Dawson Longacre, DR.. Orr
and Rev. R. X. Caulk, so life-like that
the caricatures all but spoke. Each
carried a broad grin that the artist
reproduced with the same fidelity to
nature as the figures themselves.
J Among the many present from other
cities was Mr.. Alexander Livshitz,
president Of the Beekeepers' associa-
tion Of Palestine, and resident of
Jaffa. Mr.. Livshitz was introduced
to. the club members and guests, but
ignorance Of the English language pre-
vented him from acknowledging his
greeting other than by gracious nod
of the head.

sions will be larger and more varied

previous seventy-four similar occas-
ions.

YEGGMEN AGAIN
At SHARON BANK
FOILED IN ATTEMPT
TO BREAK VAULT


For>the third time in about az
many years the bank at Sharon Gem
ter was attacked by yeggmen We'd.
llAesday morning between / and 2
O'Clock but, as in the two previous
cases, they were either unable to gain
entrance to the vault, or were fright
iened away before accomplishing it.
taking only about two dollars that
they found in an unlocked drawer,
entering the front door of the
bank building by "jimmying" the lock.
the burglars proceeded to break off
the Knob to the vault and with an elec-
TIC fuse and battery attempted ID
blow open the vault. Only one dis
charge was made, the sound being
muffied by three feather ticks. four
heavy comforts, thirty-seven feed ana
fertilizer sacks and 9x12 rug. all Of
which We're found scattered about the
floor of the bank,
Either the muffled sound of the ex-
plosion or the click of his telephone
awakened j. A. Coler, who resides
about fifty feet from the bank. Mr..
Coler is manager of the Sharon Tele-
phone Co., and it did not take him
long to discover. that wire connections
with his house had been severed. Co
ing to the window he overheard some
one say in an undertone, "Come on,
look out" and simultaneously obsery-
ed two men hurrying across the street
toward the park.
Coler dressed and notified the bank
officials, who in turn, summoned Sher-
i'll Bigelow. The latter was able to
trace the men by fresh auto track
as farsas Woolford's corners, east Of
Sharon, where the trail was lost.
Hunters from Akron at the corners
told Sheriff Bigelow that two men
had driven up there and stopped to
adjust their machine about 2:3O
o'clock, apparently headed for Akron.
Sheriff Bigelow went to Akron and
reported the case to the police depart
ment Of that city, who detailed De-
tectiye Harry Welch to return with
Sheriff Bgelow to Sharon. The for
mer was, unable to find any material
clew. : v
Later in the day L. H. Renner of
Renner's corners, on Smith road, told
Sheriff Bigelow that two men had
driven up to Wallace Young's oil and
gasoline station acress the street from
Renner's at an early hour, but soon
after disappeared. Later it was dis
covered that a window at the rear OF
the gasoline station had been pried
open, tho nothing had been taken from
the inside.

Medina county fair of 1920 threatens
to be the biggest ever, weather permit
ting. There may be some accidents
in spite of all the safety firsts, proba-

Miss Hanna will answer any questions
about babies welfare.
A large supply f literature on mat
ters pertaining to health, and on the
welfare of children will be on hand fol-

well in his new field of endeavor.
When he started work here in March
1915, there were 399 members of the
farm bureau and no organized effort
had been attempted. The bureau now
has 1645 members who are subscfib-
ing ten dollars each to the work each
year. It has become known as one
of the strongest working organiza-
tions of it's kind in the state, and
many of It's methods have been adopt
ed elsewhere.
Mr.. Salisbury will enter upon his
new work on Oct. Is.
The active work Of the Farm Bur-
eau will be carried on by Mr.. Brant
Early the, new executive secretary
Another county agent will be sent
here as soon as a suitable man can be
found for the place.
Mr.. Early is a farm bred man who,
after graduating at the Ohio State
University in 1918, spent one and a
half years in the aviation sectiou of
the army. On his return he engaged
in farming for one year in Morrow
county. On Dec. l, 1919, he entered
the employ of the Ohio State Univer-
sity as cost accountant and was as
signed to work with the local county
farm bureau. He organized the To-
cal cost accounting work with twenty
farmers around Medina and carried
on that Wotx until Sept. /, when ne
was elected executive secretary.
His duties with the farm bureau
will be developed along marketing
lines and will be carried on in con-
junction with the county agent activ-
tiles. Owing to the resignation of
the present county agent he will be
placed in active charge of the farm
bureau work at once.
Mr.. Farly's place will be filed by
Fl. C. Brunskill, graduate of Ohio
State University in 1920. Mr.. Brun-
skill is Copley boy, who has had ex-
cellent experience in many lines of
agricultural work. In addition to
being good cost man he has had
special training in agricultural en-
gineering and has agreed to aid in
the problems of that type that come
before the farm bureau.

Teachers Are Scarce Again This Year
and There Are Still Several Vacan-
cies-Ten First Grade Schools and
Two Second in County.

Practically every school in Medina
| county opened its doors ON Monday o1
!, this week for the admission of pupils
land once again the peal of school bells
is anxiously awaited by the young
Iaters far and near ready to join Their
|G0MTgdss N work or, play as the call
The Medina county school system
is. composed Of nineteen separate un-
Its or districts, each under the organ
ization of its own board Of education
but generally responsible to the coun-
/. ty board Of education and the county
superintendent of schools. Wads-
worth and Medina, according to the
I recent census, are no longer part OF
the county school system, but accord
ing to law become separate and indie
pendent schools, functioning by them
selves.
"The chief purpose of county or
ganization," says County Supt. c. B
Ulery, lis to secure unity of purpose
and results through a county course
of study for high schools and by the
use of uniform text books throughout
the county system. The state super
intendent of public instruction works
directly through the county -superfn-
.tendent of schools.
"Only by compliance along these
recommended lines" declares Mr.
Ulery, "can district hope to get the
most out of county supervision. It
may be- said for Medina county that
nearly all districts are cooperating
fully with the various recommenda-
tions and requirements, and the state
department of public instruction there
fore considers this one Of the best
school counties Of the state"
! The county system contains at the
present time ten first grade high
schools, as follows: Brunswick, Gran
ger, Hinckley, Homer, Leroy, Litch-
field, Liverpool, Lodi, Sharon and
Spencer. There are two second grade
high schools, one at Chatham and the
other at Mallet Creek. Lafayette and
Wadsworth townships maintain grad
ed centralized schools. Montville
township has a consolidated school at
Poe. Two-room schools may be found
at Chippewa Lake, Weymouth and
Windfall, in Medina township. There
are only twenty-one one-roonn schools
in Medina county and these are found
principally in Brunswick, Guilford,
Hinckley, Medina and Sharon town
ships.
Teachers are again scarce this
year and there are still several vac
ancies.

to Raise the Needed Amount of
Money.

That the Sylvester public library il
in sore straits financially has beer
known for some little time, altho ne
action has been taken before by the
officials of the library for the reason
that they have been hoping conditions
might in some way adjust themselves
The have not done so and apparently
are not likely to, and the matter wa.
brought to the attention Of those whit
met at the library Monday night tt
discuss the community building ant
comfort station projects, a report o:
the latter meeting being publishet
elsewhere in this paper.
The annual income from municipa
approximately and invested capital il
approximately $500, while the expens
es have gradually been increasing
tho not so rapidly, perhaps, as every.
thing. else in the economic life, unit
now the library faces deficit anc
the further possibility of closed doors
The cold fact that something mus
be done, and that at once if the insti
tuition is to be maintained, was put
sqarely up to those who attended the
meeting Monday night, and with the
benevolent and home-loving spirit thai
characterizes the people of Medina al
all times, they received the deplorable
situation with open arms. That is
by prompt and unanimous accord il
was decided that relief should anc
must obtain forthwith land the ap
pointment of a committee was author
lied to devise means of raising a suf.
ficient amount of money to put the
library on a safe financial founda
ton at the earliest possible date. The
committee is H. H. Root, Geo. M. Den
ton, J. T. Calvert, VIM. B. Baldwin
and A. D. Aylard.
Several plans have been suggested
for raising the money whereby it will
fall lightly on the many rather thar
burdensome on few, and a selection
will be made by the committee soon.

SIMPLE MIND SAVES
MAN MUCH TROUBLE

David Fretz, 81, arrested in Sharon
last week by Sheriff Bigelow for an
alleged assault upon a two-year-old
daughter Of c. r. johnson, was ar
faigned before Probate Judge Van
Deusen for inquiry into the mans
mental condition. He was adjudged
of simple mind, but not insane, and
was paroled i'm custody of sister,
with whom he had been residing.
Fretz made no denial Of the crime,
nor did its enormity appear in any
way to ruffie his equanimity. That
nothing further was done with him
was largely due to the fact that no
warrant had been issued against him,
and because Of the low standard Of
his mentality.
