ASKED TO RECONSIDER
AND STAY IN MEDINA

Announcement was made in the
Sentinel some three weeks ago that
Rev. Caulk, rector of St. Paul's
church, had received call to a larg-
er field, but That under conditions ex-
isting here he had decided to turn it
down despite the fact that much more
salary was offered him.
Last week the story was told that
Rev. Caulk had been offered a lucra-
tive position in the coal business in
Cleveland, and would likely accept.
The fact Of the offer was true, but
there was no certainty that he would
accept.
With the full facts of the case be-
fore them, the Vestry of st. Paul's
church met Monday evening at the
church and took action in the matter,
as follows:
To Rev. Russell X. Caulk: Resolv-
ed, That the Vestry of st. Paul's
church of Medina, Ohio, hear with
great regret of your determination to
resign and would respectfully urge
you to reconsider and remain as Rec
tor, to. continue the good work which
you have been doing in the Parish
and community.

The Foundry is one Of Medina's s
greatest institutions. Naturally the
people of the city hope for its good,
for in good to itself comes prosper
ity for many others. The more men
the Foundry employees at fair wages
the better for business men of Medina
in particular and Medina citizens in
general. Long live the 'King" in
dustry of Medina.
1t is practically setteled that an
added feature Of the work will be the
manufacture of the sheet iron por-
tions of the furnaces that are the
chief product of the Foundry. These
furnaces are in such demand that~ it
has become necessary, in an effort to
promise prompt delivery, for the fur
mace people to take up the manufac-
ture Of the sheet iron coverings at the
Foundry. Plans to do this work are
under way. This will entail the add
ing of many men to the number given
employment now.

BOTH BOX AND BANKER
GO ROLLING DOWN STAIRS

Its all according to Hoyle to wres-
tie a box. but when it comes to a box
wrestling you that's a boss of a diff
erent color. E. B. Spitzer, cashier of
the Savings Deposit Bank Co. and H.
E. Alyard were shifting a box of
small banks to the basement one day
last week. Mr.. Spitzer was below the
box on the stairs while his companion
was working from above. The box
weighed upwards Of 200 pounds and
was being eased into the basement
nicely.
All at once, however, Aylard lost
his hold on the box. Splitter was not
abe TO hold it back, and both box
and Splitter went rolling into the
basement. And the box was wise en-
ough to land on top; the box was
not injured.
Mr.. Splitter was not seriously in
jured. There were few calculations
that set the atmosphere to scintillat-
ing, and then there was a calm. Mr..
Snitzer is congratulating himself that
the damage was not greater; this
with reference to himsef--the box
can 60 hang.

Medina wins FLAG
CONTEST OF 1866
Hundreds of Loads of Jolly
Sleigh Riders Enter the Con-
test With the Home County
Winning at Last. +.
ENORMOUS SNOW FALL
MAKES RECORD WINTER

A writer in the Cleveland Enter
prise becomes reminiscent in recent
issue and tells the story Of a sleigh
ride in this part of the State back in
1866. AS Medina was the WHINE,
of the flag the story will carry much
of interest to Sentinel readers:
This winter of much ice and snow
is a reminder of the winter of 1866
Snow covered the ground al
Thanksgiving time and it did moi
leave until well along in March. Ere.
quent storms increased the depth oil
the snow, until it reached the window
sills of an ordinary house.
It was extremely cold for weeks
The doors creaked on, their hinges
and passing vehicles gave forth g
sharp metallic sound
The weather bureau had then M
place in Cleveland and there was ne
fuel shortage.
Sleighing parties were frequent
and finally eliminated in the famous
one which has place in history
1t began by the township compel
ing for little flag, which bore the
motto, "Come and Take IT,.
Four horse teams, hitehed tx
sleighs loaded with merry riders
made up imposing professions ben,
on winning the defiant banner. Z
passed from township to township
until finally the counties engaged il
the sport.
The final contest was held at Rich
field, Ohio, when Cuyahoga, Sunni,
and Medina counties were the compel
ing counties.
The day was intensely cold, and 81
many teams were assembled it tool
hours to count them. There were M
accommodations for so many people
and horses and the opinion of many
OF the participants was that they
never suffered so much from the colo
as they did that day.
Medina county won the flag. anf
may still have it, as the weather 500,
warmed up and the snow disap
peared.
As it melted gradually no seriou.
floods resulted, but the spring wa.
late in coming because of so mucl
ice in the lake.
There have been many seasons o.
cold and snow since then, but none
SO severe for so long time.
In the February Geographic maga
zine is reference to Thorean's note.
during that eventful year, which say,
there were SO consecutive days O,
sleighing at Concord.
Thorean found pleasure even il
such winter and wrote under dat,
of April 10: IT look with more tha,
regret, on it's last dissolving traces"

WOULD CUT OFF GAS.

Claiming its natural gas fields are
being rapidly depleted, making it nec-
essary to cut off isolate points where
service is now being given, the Medina
Gas & Fuel Company of Wooster has
filed application with the state public
utilities commission for leave to with
draw natural gas service from 221
consumers in the village of Mt. Vic

FOUNDRY EXPANSION is
PROMISE EARLY FUTURE

One can hear many rumors con-
cerning what is to be done by the new
Foundry management, in many cases
the wish being father to the thought.
Changes are being planned, expan-
sion is to be undertaken, and natur-
ally all this will lead up to the EN-
ploynient of more men and hope in
the breast Of the owners, at least, for
more dividends.

MANY POTATOES FREEZE
DUE TO IMPROPER SHIPPING

Carlessness in shipping is re-
sponsible for the loss of a consid-
erable part of the potato crop.
Of 1896 cars of potatoes in
spected by agents of the Bureau
of Markets, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture during the
year ended July 1, 1920, more than
1000 cars showed damage from
freezing in transit amounting in
some cases to 40 per cent. This
loss would not have occurred with
the use of proper loading and
heating methods, say the bureaus
specialists.
Protection from cold depends
largely upon a constant circula'
ton of warm air around the load.
Heated air from a stove in the
center Of car rises to the top,
spreads along the ceiling be-
tween the potatoes and the roof,
thence down through open spaces
at the ends, then back underneath
a false floor coming out at the
stove.
Cars should be carefully lined
with paper. In box cars, false
floors, false side and end walls
should be constructed of boards
and studding so as to provide for
air circulation around the load.
In refrigerator cars, false floors
should be provided and care
should be taken that bunker bulk
mead openings are not blocked,
either in papering or loading.
Cars should be heated at least
SIX hours before loading. In load
ing, sacks should not come closer
than 8 inches from the ceiling,
Inc potatoes at the floor should
De loaded not less than 6 inches
from the sides and ends of car.

THE ART OF BEING MISSED

Amt the lady who used to do
the marketing for you folks ever
coming back?"
MY aunt, you mean" Estelle
Evans looked with surprise at the
pale-faced little clerk of the cor
ner grocery. 81 don't know when
sne will be back. She has gone
to California, and it isn't likely
that she will return for several
years."
I'll sure miss her." said the
little clerk. She weighed out a
pound of coffee and set the big
grinder in operation. "She always
looked sort of cheerful and had
such a happy way of saying good
morning that l used to watch for
her to come in. Pm sorry she's
gone so far. Pity it couldn't have
been one of the people you don't
miss"
Cheerfulness is one of the quail
ltles which make people missed
You do not miss the rain cloud
when you wake on a sunshiny
morning, and see your windows
framing an oblong of blue sky
You do not have an uncomfort
able feeling that something is
lacking. But if the sun is hidder
for day or two, and lowering
clouds greet your eyes, every time
you look from the window, how
you miss the sunshine.
You cannot help missing /;
cheerful person. The little clerl
who did not know the name of tn.
smiling customer, looked for hel
expectantly, and missed her whel
her visits ceased. One reason /,
child's absence leaves such j.,
vacancy in the house, is that :
normal child is embodied sun
shine. If you would be missed
cultivate sunshine, cheerfulness.

YOU AND I

What we need is all of the clear
headed, common-sense, everyday
thinking that we can get. For
centuries we have listened to
overwise philosophers and senti-
mental theorists.
We were busy about our own
affairs and we let these men do
our thinking for US. Their ideas
were novel and interesting and as
the chances for ever putting them
in effect were remote, we were not
greatly concerned.

THE. AUTUMN GLORY

Oh, the olden, golden glory,
With the Autumn pomps unfurled,
Mantling every hilltop hoary,
Flaming up and down the world!
Scarlet bough and crimson
creeper,
Burning branch and kindling
spire, ,.
Dawn on dawning growing deeper
With the transitory fire!
Morn on morn radiant shaping
Of a pageantry sublime; .
Eve on eve rapt redraplng
Of the tapestries of time!
Not for one this sweeping wonder,
Bloom of beauty-not for one'
Rut for all men dwelling under
The dominion Of the sun.
For from some celestial portal,
Whence all earthly splendors be,
Comes voice to every mortal:
",o. lift up thine eyes and see!

of these theories have been put
into practice, and most of them
have proven expensive, inefficient,
and breeders of trouble.
The common sense of the COM
mon people-just what you and

apt to be right, and will cost US a
lot less in taxes to put into opera

That all will come right in the end

That life will be better and days
will be sweet,
That roses will carpet the world
for mems feet,
That love and affection and honor
and trust
Will lift US from sorrow and
shadow and dust.
l want to go toiling with this in
my heart,
That every day brings US the joy
of a start
Fresh with endeavor and duty and
truth,
AS we swing to our tasks with the
vigor of youth,
Singing the music of love and of
cheer,
Till clouds drift apart and the
storms disappear.
| I want to go trusting that this
will be so
As out to the toll and the tumult
we go;
That hearts will be kinder and
life will grow bright
With the blessing of labor that
leads to the light;
That troubles, like bubbles, will
burst and away,
And all will come right in the end

cellar. Experiments have shown
that the smallest percentage of
tuber rot in storage follows the
practice of delayed digging.
"The large commercial grower
must consider his labor supply in
relation to the time available for
digging before potatoes will be
frozen in the ground. 1t is the
farm-home supply which can be
dug in few days where the
greatest advantage can be taken
of this means of reducing field
tuber infection and subsequent
storage rot.

DELAWARE FARMERS
URGED TO DELAY DIGGING
IRISH POTATOES

Delaware farmers whose Irish
potatoes are affected by the late
blight disease should delay dig
ging until ten days or longer after
the tops are fully dead, preferably
until after the frost has killed the
vines, is the advice Of specialists
Of the Bureau of Plant Industry
United States Department OF
Agriculture.
Earlier digging will result in
more field tuber infection and sub
sequent development of rot in the
