LIMITED OPERATIONS in
OHIO OIL FIELDS

Oil and gas operations in Ohio fields
were considerably limited the past
week. The holiday season led to
stoppage where such step" would
not seriously impede operations, and
in consequence many well operatives
spent the holiday season with their
families.
Few completions are reported
from the Central West in the Findlay
field, owing to the fact that many
wells nearing the sand were closed
down for the Christmas and New
Years season, and work will hardly
be resumed on any large scale until
early in January.
In the Chatham field in Chatham
township, Medina county, in the Cen
tral Ohio field, J.H. Farrell and others
second test on the Fannie Rice farm,
lot 81, pumped 80 bbls. The Ohio
Cities Gas Co.'s No. 10 L.C. Polhman
farm, pumped 5 bbls., and it's No. Z
August Rogers farm, lot Is, pumped
two bbls. t 47
In the Lima field, of northwestern
Ohio, few compilations are reported
for the week. In Woodville township,
Sandusky county, Ashman, Reimer
and others No. l on the G.. Bushnell
farm, known as the Brim farm, Sec
tion 20, pumped eight bbls.

SUIT HOLDS UP 1920
AUTO LICENSE TAGS

Suit has been filed by attorneys
for the State Automobile Association
attacking the constitutionality of the
graduated auto tax law which was
passed at Columbus last month. I'm
til the supreme court of the state
hands down it's decision no 1920 tags
will be issued. 1t is expected that a
decision will be arrived at some time
this month.
Motorists are therefore permitted
to continue to use their 1919 license
tags, pending a decision in the mat
Ger. Applications, however, may be
sent to Columbus with the sum called
for under the new law. Should the
courts hold it to be unconstitutional
che difference will be refunded, Thir-
ty days will be allowed after a de-
cision has been reached to procure
new tags, although the practice of
drivers using pasteboard tags with
wording "License Applied For" is
frowned on by authorities.

PERMIT. THREE FOXES
TO BREAK THRU LINE

Three foxes broke through the loop
encircling them in the fox drive out
Spencer way New Years. The drive
had been made with success and there
were three Sir Reynards within the
enclosure. But when the circle was
narrowed down so that all could see
across it was found empty.
There were three within the lines a
few moments before and every one
was certain Of catch. But in some
way those in charge of a given line
left the line open through misunder-
standing orders and Mr.. and Mrs.
Fox and daughter jamie sneaked
through to safety. 1t was quite a
humiliation to those who had become
optomistic after glimpsing the foxes
in the enclosure. ~

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING is
GIVEN DISCUSSION

n =
In the Sentinel of Dec. 19 figures
were printed relative to the service
and rate of service of the municipal
lighting plant at Norwalk, o. These
figures showed up well for the city
and the economy of operation; also
the facts accompanying the financial
statement was that of good word
for the adequacy of the service.
These figures were provided by one
of Medina's business men, who was
and is interested in a better service in
Medina. He was pleased with the
figures coming to him from Norwalk,
and inquiry as to service led him to
a second time congratulate denizens
of the sister city.
Repeated breaks in the local service
cause business men to ask questions.
To have ones business destroyed an
hour or SO before quitting time, to
be left in the dark with his store full
of customers anxious to buy but
without light sufficient to do SO, is
just, cause for making one long for
some change, and to be willing to
take chance that it will be better
than what they get now. And to be
set for a big party and have the
lights go off and stay off for two to
four hours, breaking up the party
with no recompense for the big ex-
pense that goes for nought, is enough
to make one look for a small news
boy to swear up quarters worth.
There is considerable discussion
among business men as to what hao
best be done in lighting matters ir
Medina. And the discussion is likely
to continue unless some improve
ments are made in the present ser
vice.

There will be meeting of the 4740I
superintendents at the office of the
county superintendent Saturday, Jan.
10. There will be both forenoon and
afternoon session. The meeting
will begin promptly at 1915.
One very encouraging observation
at the Ohio State Teachers Assn
was the unanimity of opinion as to
what school legislation is needed.
Just one view was outstanding, name
~, financial relief.
The annual "School Officials Meet
ing" will be held at Medina high
school Saturday, Jan. IT. The meet
ing will open promptly at 10 o'clock.
The afternoon session will begin at
100 o'clock and close at 800. Just
at the close of the meeting, there
will be the election of County Board
Member to take the place now oc-
cupied by L. w. Boyden. Every
school board member is urged to be
present at this meeting. Many
school problems should be discussed.
Be ready to offer suggestions and ask
questions as well.
The adjourned session of the Me-
dina County Teachers Institute will
be held at Medina, Saturday Jan. "a.

The speakers are Hon. HI. G. Will
Jams Of Columbus, Ohio and Supt.

Our plans are maturing and this
promises to be one of the best insti-
tutes we have ever had. 4A
Nearly one-half Of our school term
is now past. The new year has in
store for us just about what we put
into it. Teachers should by this time
be rather familiar with conditions in
their particular school and know
their pupils as individuals and not
merely as a part of the ''mass." Now
is the time for teachers to get clear
ly in mind their aims and purposes
and to judge carefully the results OBJ
tanned. The bright pupil who car
do much more than the average
should be stimulated and supplied
with proper materials to keep up eff
fort and interest, The slow pupil
deserves to have his case CAREFUL,
diagnosed. He should be shown
wherein he is failing. No child fails
in general. He fails at certain
points. The parents have a right
to know, also, just how their children
are doing. Now is the time to look
after those who may fail. A chile
cannot fail in the last few days oil
school. tt is our hope that no fail
ure comes to either child or parent a,
I, the close Of the school year as sur
prise. Let us look after this matter
now, face it honestly and frankly
The standardized tests given should
be taken as a basis for finding in ad
dition to the standing of the school
the standing and individual needs o.
each pupil, Individual treatment i.
needed. The teacher has time fol
this work if the time is not given w
too much to the formal recitation
which has little to commend it anc
much to condemn it.
The county office wishes teacher.
and all school officials year Of sub
stantial growth and development

BANK OF ENGLAND SHOWS
INCREASE IN ADVANCES

Latest returns of the Bank OF
England show an increase in ad-
-vanccs of not less than 10000
according to a report received yes
terday by the Department of Com
merce. A large portion of this sum,
it was said, represented loans 70
the discount market. due to the
banks restricting their facilities in
sources at the end of June. the bal
anCe being required probably by
the market in order to enable them
to purchase further large lines of
fresh bills.
The result of these heavy ad-
vanCeS by the banks in the clos
ing days of June. said the report,
was that easier conditions prevailed
at the beginning of July, but fol-
lowing on the necessary repayments
to. the central institutions rates
hardened, relaxing again later IN
the month as CONSEQUENCE of less
Treasury bills being sold
Call money in England has luc-
tuated between 4 and 54 per cent,
the Department was advised, while
discount rates at the end of July
showed a slightly harder tendency
at 6 9-16 per cent. Some apprehen-
sion is felt, however, as to the pos
sibility of an increase IN the hank
rate in the near future. and the dis
count rate is unlikely to weaken
while this fear exists

bottom October showed a net loss
Of 12O points, while later deliveries
showed net declines of about 60 to
% points
Late in the day the list was un-
settled and heavy under liquidation
and hedge selling. Last prices were
easy at u net decline Of 35 to 95
points
Spot here was quiet. with mid
ding 100 points lower at 29.5O; no
sales. Spot at New Orleans was
steady, with middling cent lower
at 27 cents: sales were $50 bales.
Receipts at New Orleans were

phis, $50 bales.

BUFFALO. N. Y, Oct. 9.-Two
