k|WANIS SPONSORS
BOY SCOUT MOVE

Rev. R. X. Caulk, in an earnest,
convincing manner, called for the
hearty cooperation of the Kiwanis
Club, at their luncheon last Friday,
in the Boy Scout movement and met
with a solid acquiescent response.
President Root Immediately appoint
ed a committee consisting Of Dawson
Longacre, Blake Mcdowell and E. T.
Splitter to apportion the local terri
tory among Kiwanis members who
were to solicit the field for donations
to further the movement. In addi-
tion, every member present, by resolu-
tion, pledged his personal interest in
the development of boy character
building by an active participation in
their rules of conduct.
N. o. Fuller won the attendance
prize-a sack Of grass seed-present-
ed by Dwight Shepard.
A resolution was passed by the
club endorsing the clubs governor for
the Ohio district, Edmund F. Arras,
for international trustee; also, the
club went on record as favoring
Cleveland for the 1921 convention.
The meeting this Friday will be at
St. Pauls parish house and the club
will be addressed by Congressman
Roscoe McCulloch.
Congressman McCulloch asserts
that the bravery of the American SOL
dfer and the patriotism of the Amer
lean people in responding to every
call for help during the world conflict
have no parallel in the history of the
world and that those who would seek
to minimize the creditesdue them are
not good Americans.
In his address Congressman McCul-
loch will touch on the growth Of the
United States, it's policies before the
war, the League of Nations, and ma
tional finances. He declares there is
urgent need of economy on the part
Of both the national and state gov.
ernments.

ROOT CAR AND GARAGE
DESTROYED BY FIRE

A small garage and an automobile,
the property of l. w. Root, were COM
pletelya. destroyed by fire Thursday
evening of last week. Mr.. Root, it
is said, was charging the electric bat
terry in his car and had gone into the
house while the charging was in pro-
gress. 1t is thought that the wires
came in contact with infammable ma
terial, setting fire to the car which,
in time, fired the garage.
Quick work on the part of the fire
men saved the house, which is but a
few feet from the garage. The
southwest corner of the house shows
the effect of the flames.

THEY HUNT SQUIRREL

Frank Tusska, employed at the local
foundry, was shot and killed instantly
Sunday afternoon northwest of the
city by Charles 10th, a fellow

pronounced accidental by all who wit
messed it.
Immediately after the shooting the
body was taken to Longacre's under
taking parlors and Tusska gave him
self up to the sheriff.
Tusska, 10th and six others-Matt

Minnelli Bros dramatic company,
that have been showing in Medina for
the last 16 years, holding their open
ings here for many seasons, announce
a week of enjoyment for the public,

entirely new company will be here
this season, featuring that stellar
emotional actress, Miss May La Porte,
who formerly headed her own COM

The original opening had been set
for May II but the continued bad

The show will be under canvas as
formerly and will be at the same loca-
ton as in former seasons-the Bow

opening number will be "A Girl There

short distance from him. AS Toth's
hand closed upon the gun about the
trigger, Toska still retained his hold
of the barrel and, it is thought, had
sighted down the barrel just before
the bullet issued. He must have
ducked at the explosion for the bullet
struck his head about one inch back
Of the hair Zine. A cash, more than
an inch long was torn through the
scalp and skull. A post mortem re-
vealed no bullet but DIR. E. L. Crum,
the coroner, and DR.. R. G. Strong, who
performed the autopsy, believe that
the bullet struck the skull and rico
chetted.
No trouble had ever existed be-
tween the two men, according to those
who knew them. Both are Austrians.
The body was buried Tuesday in
the Catholic cemetery. 10th was
discharged from custody Immediately
after the coroner's verdict was rem
dered.

LAKE PAVILION BARS
EXTREME DANCE STYLES

The Chippewa Lake dance hall ha5
put the bant on all forms of extreme
dancing as evidenced by their an
nouncement in this issue. No tigh1
holding in the clinches, no cheeks
touching, no neck holds, no shimmy-
ing, no suggestive movements, and ex-
treme modern dancing styles will b.
de trop. No cheap, vulgar, jazz
music will swell the breeze, says the
management, which declares that it
will eject Objectionable couples.
The management is to be compli-
mented upon it's attitude. Assured
of proper observance of proprietieS
and high class music, the dancing
public will, doubtless, lend a hearty
patronage to the popular dancing
pavilion by the lake.
A dance is scheduled for Wednes-
day evening, May 10, at which Rosen
thal's orchestra will furnish the mel
ody. Sam, himself, will direct tn"
musicians.
