Latta High School Base Ball.

We have returned from Lake City
where We played two games. We were
defeatd in both games in scores, but
we won in something else that was
far more important, and that was,
that our boys won the respect and
esteem Of every person in Lake City
that they came In contact with.
These are some of the sayings that
came direct to me about our boys.
You have the cleanest set of boys
that we have ever seen." 1T must be
pleasure to take such set of boys
OH a trip" You were defeated in
scores, but you have won the hearts
of the Lake City people" Your
boys fight with that clean spirit that
knows no defeat" "If our boys had
lost in the first inning like yours
dld, they would have stopped, while
yours kept ours from making anoth-
er single score" and many other
sayings that made me feel proud of
the boys. Are you proud OF your
boys? People of Latta, l hate to
contrast our town with any other IN
the State, especially when it is to
ou1 disfavor, but facts are facts, and
we can't get around that. Lake City
is backing it's team. The people Of
the town have just bought its team
new outfit which cost about $3.50
and in the two games that we played
over there, they took in about $50
at the gate, and in the two games
VIC have played here, we took in
$3.50. Are you proud of your boys?
Your boys have worked and have
paid for everything that they have
gotten so far. have had to pay out
about $50 for balls and other things.
How much have you given to the
team? People of Latta, 1 hate to beg
and especially beg for money, and
this is my last appeal that 1 am go
ing to make The Lake City team is
coming over on the 29th of April.
They will be here for two days. We
will have a few games here before
then. Can't We let the boys feel that
we are behind them? o yes, we are
behind them, but we are too far be-
hind them; let's catch up and show
them that we are for them. Don't
wait until we have another game,
but just hand some representative of
the school some piece of money with
in the next week.

rrohibition's Progress.

Below is an outline of DR.. Kirk
lands sermon in the Methodist
church Sunday morning, April 3rd:
CDR. Kirkland's subject last Sun
day was Encouraging Indications"
and his text was from one of the
Psalms. II had tainted unless had
believed to see the goodness of the
Lord in the land living" Some of the
encouraging indications concerning
the Southern Methodist church were
stated as follows: (1) There was a
net gain in the Sunday Schools in
1920 of 90,2O1 members. CD The
Centenary enrolled 3,948 family al
tars. but the Christian Education
Movement has already enrolled over
900 family affairs. (4) There were
498 new men granted license to
preach last year. CD There was a
net gain of 100 church buildings. (61
There was net gain of 'S2,664
church members. CD There is now a
widespread and definite emphasis on
religious matters of fundamental i'm
pcrtance.
Some of the encouraging indica-
uons OF more general character
were also enumerated last year; The
Presbyterians of the United States
made net gain of 43,031 members;
the Baptlsts 1928, the Methodist
238,127; the Roman Catholics 127,-
579. The total net gain of the chris
tian churches in the United States
was 712,000. The publishing houses
report an unprecedented business in
the sale of religious books and news
papers which shows that many chris
tan people are reading and think
ing.
The moral tone of the world is
fine when we consider what we have
passed through in the last six years.
The governments of the great ma
tions that survived the World War
arc all standing and two years and a
-half have passed since the war end
ed. Our three million of soliers have
been demobilized and with compare
lively few exceptions have returned
to the peaceful andproductive pur-
suits OF citizenship. These men who
followed our fla g over seas are a
perpetual guarantee of our stability
in the future.
DR.. Kirkland read from a Chicago
paper, 'In Chicago there is a drunk

Ian Home. In its career Of over fifty
years some $4,000 alcoholics have
been treated by special physicians
and cared for by the home. Prohibi-

After this a paper was read by Miss
Hortense Biggs describing a gun-bar-
rel fence in Washington, d. c., sur
rounding a private residence. The
guns were said to be absolete sixty
five years ago, and were procured by
the present owners father at great
bargain. He conceived the idea Of
making a fence, with the large part
OF the barrel at the bottom, and a
small picket was placed in the top of
each barrel, making a very attrac-
tive fence, but had great trouble with
the small boys stealing these pickets
to play Indian with, they looking
somewhat like spears used by In
dians. At late hour refreshments
were served, consisting of sandwich
es, ice. tea and home made candies.

this home knows him, has disappear
ed" Then from a New York paper,
which quoted Thacher Manufacturing
Co., as saying, "The consumption of
milk bottles in this country increas-
Ell during the first six months OF
this year fully 35 per cent. In talk
ing with a large number OF milk
dealers in New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, De-
troit, and other places, they have, all
OF them expressed the belief that the
increased consumption Of milk and
therefore the increased demand for
milk bottles was caused by prohIbi-
tion." This indicates not only the sale
of bottles for the manufacturers but
milk for the bodies of little children
and sober fathers and husbands for
husbands for American homes. A
third statement was quoted from
Professor Gilbert Murray Of Oxford
University: This generation, the
generation that has endured the great
war has been witnesses to the me-
morable advances for good and for
evil In the history of mankind" I"
They are then enumerated: (D The
conquest Of the air; CD the organiza-
ton of a League of Nations for the
preservation of peace; CD the adop-
ton Of prohibition by the United
States of America. or the third he
says, ''In my deliberate judgment

white men, the greatest, strongest,

progressive nation in the world, has

ty decided that alcoholic drink Of
any sort shall be neither manufacture

JUST LOANED II. TO HER

A case of considerable interest
that occupied the attention of Com
mon Pleas Court last Friday was that
Of Joseph Rodenberger Of Sterling vs.,
Noah and Flora Kreider Of Wads-
worth, an action for money only. The
plaintiff, aged and decrepit, sued to
collect the sum Of $809.65 with inter-
est for year or more, which he
claimed he loaned to defendant, while
the latter claimed the money was q
gift. The litigants are related, and
it appears that Mrs. Kreider made
her home with plaintiff for many
years following the death Of her moth
er and to the time Of her marriage.
Cashier Krabill Of the Wadsworth
National Bank testified that plaintiff
appeared at the bank and directed
that his money on deposit, $809. .66,
be transferred to the credit Of Mrs.
Kreider, which was done. Roden-
berg claimed that Mrs. Krefder stated
to him that she needed some money
and he had the transfer made so that
she could use whatever amount she
required, as he had no immediate use
for. the money. When he found he
was unable to get it, he filed suit. The
jury deliberated on the case for about
two hours, the final ballot standing
nine for plaintiff and three for de-
Efendant. The law requires nine for
a verdict. The total amount recover

Among the hundreds of varieties
of potatoes only few are well known
and have endured the merit test Of
years, according to the Ohio Expert
ment Station.
Bliss Triumph is first early in sea-
son and adapted to home use ais well
as early market.
Cobbler, Ohio and Rose are more
productive, and second early in sea-

Seneca Beauty are mid-season varie-
ties of good quality.
Sir Walter Raleigh, Rural New

NoRMALcY HITS FARMERS

The presidents first message to
Congress was followed by sharp de-
clines in stock market; wheat for
July delivery sold at 9S cents in Kan
'sas City; hogs, wheat, corn and oats
and other grains reached their lowest
level since 1915.
The reaction of the markets is sufi-
cient comment on the hazy and indis-.
tinct course of the new administration
One recalls the fact that last fall,
after Mr.. Harding had been elected
by a tremendous popular vote, the
stock market declined steadily and
farm products dropped to such low
levels that the farmers Of the nation
lost billions.
Mr.. Harding may soon realize that
dealing in generalities and parceling
ont fancy phrases win not serve to
restore the nations confidence in the
future of business. Action is neces-
sary to undo the great wrong per-
petrated BY a Congress and leader

The Red Cross is anxious to renew

THIS COUNTY SLATED FOR
TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC

In cooperation with the Ohio State
Sanatoriurn, the State Department Of
Health and the Ohio State Medical
association, the State association has
been assisting in developing a series
of county tuberculosis clinics. Two
clinics have been held, one in Hamil-
ton county from Feb. n to "a, and one
in Portage county sfrom Feb. 28 to
March 4. The results have more
than met expectations.
Medina county is on the waiting list
but demands have been SO great that
all future plans have had to be held
in allegiance until additional personnel
can be secured to carry on the work.
An appropriation from the legislature
will probably be available on July /,
with which to carry the work forward.
