Westcott sat quietly in the chair as
they filed out; then took the pipe from
his pocket and filed 1t slowly. He
realized his defeat, his helplessness,
but his mind was already busy with
the future.

OBITUARY

Paul Swartz, born of Holland
Dutch parents at Easton, Pa, July
26, 1882, died Nov. 13, 1920, aged
SS years, 8 months and II days.
His mother died when he was two
and half years old. Soo~ after,
his father with the rest OF the fam
lily of five children, started with a
team for Ohio. After stopping a few
days with relatives in Guilford town
ship, this county, he pursued his way,
locating on the farm now owned by
Frank Miller, on the York -Litchfeld
town line, May, 1885, IS years Of his
life having been spent in this vicin-
ity. 4
On Nov. 2, 1854, he was married
to Miss Amy Wilson, with whom hi
has travelled the path of life for sc
years. To this union were born
three children-George w., Mary E..
and Luna G., the two latter having
passed to the other shore. He leaves
his aged companion, one son, SIX
grandchildren, and II grandchildren
He is the last one of the younger sci
of 1850, Of Is girls and and 16 boys
whose youthful escapades gave the
the name to the "Devils Half-acre.'
He was veteran Of the Civil War
receiving an honorable discharge af

THE NEOSHA PLAN

What has become of the "Neosha
Plan" Medina merchants considered
adopting and an investigating COM
mittee for which was appointed as
long ago as last March.
The plan got its name from the
Missouri town where the idea origi-
mated, and where it worked SO success
fully that the town became famous
thereby, and competitive merchants
became so friendly and cooperative
as to almost eat out Of each others
hands.
In a word the plan consists Of a
monthly trade day intended to In
crease trade in the community, at the
same time bringing merchant and pa
tron into a closer and more intimate
personal relationship, especially the
rural friends.
The country town is a part Of the
country. It is one of the encouraging
signs of the times that country town
business men are coming to realize
this fact. 1t has not been so very
long ago that every little town
thought that its business was to grow
into a city just as soon as possible
Some towns and many town people
still think so. Many small town peo-
pie, too, still think that their chief
relations and interests are with the
cities rather than the country. The
most far-seeing business men have
come to know better. They are see
ing more and more clearly that the
town, the small city, is an integral
part of the country; that it prosperS
only as the country prospers, and
that it has its place in the scheme Of
things to be the life center of the
country about it.
Not until the country and the coun-
try town learn that they are yoke
fellows and must pull together, can
either make the progress it should.
And both are learning.
Let's try the Neosha plan.
