as they can.
Recently, the committees of the
three townships on the north met and
found that they had many problems
that were in common. To meet this
need they appointed a special COM
mittee Of five men from each township
whose duty it was to investigate every
possibility toward the improvement Of
conditions of interest to their district.
OF the many things that they have
taken up the most important from
the standpoint Of finance is the posi-
bility Of cooperative elevator. A pro-
position will be troroly gone into.
Other farming communities should
pattern after the aggressive men in
the groups just named. If there is a
problem affecting your community,
you and you only can solve it. Get
together and stay together in this
work of developing the farms Of Me
dina County.

RUNAWAY HORSES
SMASH AUTOMOBILE

jerking loose from a post to which
they had been hitched in the alley
back Of the Zeigler store Monday
morning fine team attached to hay
wagon belonging to Max Koehler, a
farmer living out in the Center Road,
ran away, going up Court street at a
furious pace. As they swung east on
Liberty street, they ran into the big
Chambers car of E. T. Spitzer which
was nosed in against the curb in front
Of the Savings Deposit bank. They
hit the car with tremendous crash,
turning it over ON it's side. One of the
horses became entangled in the car
and was unable to rise until the ma
chine had been righted by bystanders.
No serious hurts resulted to the team
but the car suffered several injuries.
The top was wrecked, the windshield
smashed and the radiator badly bent
in. An overhauling will be necessary
to determine the extent of the damage.
As the team dashed up Court street
the bride of one horse was seized by
Ford Cannon who attempted to stop
the runaways. The bride broke which
probably saved Cannon from injury,
as the horses are of the heavy draft
type.
Mr.. Koehler says he tied the horses
to post but one is Of nervous dis
position and it is thought that it jerk
ed loose and frightened the other. He
will settle for the damage to the car

LEGION BUYS CAR
FOR COUNTY NURSE

The local post of the American Le-
gion, through it's financial committee,
is raising funds for the purchase Of a
Ford Coupe, valued at $685., which
shall be at the service of Miss Con-
stance Hanna, the county Red Cross
nurse. Miss Hanna will use the car
in making her trips about the county
attending at the homes where con-
tagious diseases exist.
This is splendid move on the part
of the Legion boys-an act that evil
dences their continued willingness to
be identified largely with community
development as well as having been
such strong factors in making the
world safe for democracy.
1t is believed that the county will
take over this car and maintain it in
the regular health department, re.
imbursing the boys for the unselfisr
outlay.

Three HURT IN
INTERURbAN WRECK

Hyde Weaver of Seville, an en-
ploye of the Cleveland Southwestern

other injuries and two other employees
whose names could not be learned .ex-
perienced lesser hurts when north
bound milk train and a south bound
work train met in collision at Stroack-
er Curve, three mile north of Medina,
about 1880 o'clock Thursday morning.
A dangerous double curve exists at
this point and the two trains were
moving rapidly. AS they came togeth-
er, Weaver, who was conductor Of the
milk train, was jammed between the
milk cans, crushing the bones in his
left leg. The motorman, Fairchild,
leaped from the car just befort. the
trains met. Bill Holtz, a member OF
the work train crew also jumped to
safety. About men were on the
work train and 8 on the milk train
Two Of the section men, of Berea, were
taken to the hospital at Cleveland with
Weaver after the trio had been given
emergency treatment by physicians
of this city who were rushed to the
scene. The cars were badly damaged
but traffic was not delayed.

BODY MANGLED BY
Big CIRCULAR SAW

Mrs. J. I. Schaefer, wife of a prom
fnent farmer living in Montville town.
ship was seriously injured about four
o'clock Monday afternoon when her
dress became entangled in a buzz saw,
about thirty inches in diameter.
The flesh was cut and slashed from
her legs and parts of her body were
horribly mangled. She is in serious
condition.
Mrs. Schaefer was assisting her
husband, who was fixing the saw pre-
paratory to cutting some wood. He
had just frightened the belt on the saw
which is gasoline driven and turned
away. Mrs. Schaefer, in STOPPING over,
drew too near the saw the teeth of
which caught in her dress and jerked
her toward it. The bouncing of her
body against the rapidly-whirling saw
provided opportunity for several hor-
rible mutilations. Mr.. Schaefer stop
ped the engine as soon as possible and
the injured woman was carried to the
house where she was later given med
ical attention.
Her parents had just left on trip.
A wire was sent and they will doubt
less return this week.

MAYOR WILL MISS
ride in AIRPLANE

Mayor H. H. Hartzog has been in
vited to attend the inter-city airplane
races and demonstrations to be held in
Cleveland, July 2 to Z, inclusive. The
committee states that if a suitable
landing field exists here, an aviator
will come after the mayor and take
him to Cleveland for the show. It is
believed that Mayor Hartzog is well
content that no landing 1ield is at this
point.
The purpose Of the air show is to
convince the public that civilian avia-
ton is safe, though expert air pilots
will include sensational stunts. May
ors Day will be July 8 at which time
Mayor Hartzog will have the oppor-
tunity of making flight.

COMMUNITIES GAINS
SUCCESS, SAYS COUNTY AGENT SALISBURY

farm improvements we are building
up the community and the common
wealth and are developing better cit

spread to other townships.
Do farmers need brass bands!
Many people would say at once that
they do not, yet the farm bureau men
of Brunswick thought differently
about the matter. In consideration OF
these feelings they are aiding in the
support. of a band at that town where
concerts will be given occasionally.
Farm Bureau men of Liverpool were
interested enough in streets lights in
the Village of Valley City that they
took 1t upon themselves to aid finan-
cially in securing the same. While
they do not live in the village never

Much has been said in this county
since farm bureau work started two
years ago about cooperative effort
among the people Of a community as
a means of obtaining things unobtain-
able to individuals. 1t has remained
for the townships in the north part Of
Medina County to put this into prac-
tice and now they are beginning to see
the results Of the effort, says County
Agent Salisbury.
For over year the farm bureau
men in Liverpool township have been
meeting regularly and have been at
tempting to do some Of the things that
need the solid backing of the entire
farming community. One Of the inn
,portant steps was the securing Of the
means Of weighing materials purchas-
ed in carlots and distributed to far
mers in small quantities. This called
for q wagon scale owned by the farm

mittee appointed by Farm Bureau
group. These men investigated ev-
cry phase Of the problem. When they
reported a fund was subscribed that
assured the farmers Of the needed i'm
provement.
The success with which the Liver
pool men were working attracted
others and this spring the Brunswick
and Hinckley men developed organic
ations in their townships for similar
purposes. Recently the county agent
suggested that it would be worth
while thing for the men to secure
power ditching machine if they were
to properly tile drain their farms. I'm
mediately they became interested and
it was soon found that there was con-
siderable interest in the problem. The
result of this activity is the assurance
that a tile ditching machine will be
purchased by a group of farmers in
these townships for their own use.
This is one Of the best developments

HEALTH OFFICERS
REPORT GRATIFYING

The county health officers report
for May has been completed by DR.. R.
A. Brintnall and shows some interest
ing figures. There is total of as con-
tagious diseases in the county for that
month. This does not include the
cases, included in the April report or
those that have developed or been To-
Gated since June 1.
Measles predominates, there being
22 cases under observation. In addi-
tion, there is one case of German
measles. One case of tuberculosis is
reported for the month.
Diphtheria, smallpox and scarlet
fever have four cases each and there
are two cases Of chickenpox and one
Of mumps. Seven cases of syphilis
have been found.
The June report, thinks DIR. Brint-
nall, will show even smaller number
of cases. According to the health Of
ficer, June is generally healthful
month. At this season Of the year, the
tone of the body is much higher, due
to the lack Of decaying Vegetation
and the absence of climatic changes
The more even temperature and the
diet occasioned by the seasons offer
ings, partially immunize the bod!
against the reception of disease.

COUNTY QUOTA FOR
S. A. NOT SECURED

Results Of the countrywide Salvation
Army drive held last week have not
vet been determined, according to W.
G. Smith, treasurer for the drive. He
says that $109 was gathered in here
last Friday but we are still Sal shy
of our quota. The various villages of
the county had an allotment of $3.50
each, the townships, $125 each. The
total county quota was $4,000. 1t is
very probable that the full quota will
have been made when all reports from
various chairmen are received. Joe
Seymour was head of the county drive.
