COUNTY PASTORS TABOO
INSANE BLUE LAWS
Contend Only for Rational Use of
Sunday

The pastors of the county held an
unusually Interesting meeting Monday
at the Medina Church Of Christ. The
discussion was led by Rev r. X. Caul<
of St. Paul's church on the subject
of the Sunday blue laws. While an
association such as the one composed
of the pastors of every denomination
represented in Medina county is sure
to have many and varied points OF
view, the members present Monday
agreed almost unanimously on all the
major points in the discussion
One of the most vital points shown
by the consideration of this subject
was that the church members through
out the country were in no wise desir-
Gus Of placing high board fence
about our modern Sunday and making
1t useless to mankind. Throughout
the discussion, which lasted well into
the afternoon, there was marked
willingness evident to so use Sunday
both within and without the church
edifices in such way as to contribute
the maximum possible to the better
ment Of mankind, whether it be thfd
devotional service or genuine recrea-
ton.

HAD NO RECORDS, so
COULD NOT MAKE SALE

On day last wesA MIR. Wylie, Coun-
ty Agent of Muskingum county and
high point judge at the International
in 1914, together with two other live
stock men, were in Medina county
looking for pure bred Holstein calves
for Boys and Girls Calf club work.
They were taken out to see the herds
of some of our best breeders and were
much pleased with the calves they saw
and their pedigrees. Yet, because Of
the fact that no production records
could be shown for the dams Of the
calves, they were not sold.
These men were willing to pay $500
per head for these calves, but demand
ed a production record. It's high
time that the pare bred breeders iii
Medina look to cow-testing work.
Mr.. McKellip Of Columbus will Be
in the county Thursday and Friday
Of this week to assist IN the organi-
cation of these associations. The
Farm Bureau office win give anv ad-
ditional information desired to any one
who telephones p cr calls At the of-
flee. n

FARM LOANS HELD UP
ABOUT THREE WEEKS
Condition Of Money Market Given a.
Reason

The following announcement has
been received from the louisville
Federal Land Bank:
"We will not be in a position to ac-
cept applications for loans for about
three or four weeks due to the con-
dition Of the money market at the. pres
ent time. A large volume Of Federal
farm loan bonds will be placed on
the market for sale about April is,
and the success of this sale will deter
mine the amount Of money which will
be available for making loans in this
district,
.The first sale Of bonds, however,
will not be adequate to accommodate
all the applicants, fot the demand for
our loans is tremendous, but we hope
that subseqeutn sales may be made,
thereby giving Us additional funds
with which to make loans. We hope
eventually to bc in i position 10 serve
All the farmers IN this district who
desire loans"

FARMERS SEE VALUE OF
TUBERCULOSIS TEST
Tested Herds Bring High Price
Others Shied At

Another dairy farmer in Medina
county has decided to make applica-
ton for tuberculosis testing. He is
Atlee Ganyard, Holstein breeder of
Granger. This looks mighty en-
couraging for the dairy business :. in
Medina county. Do you think it
pays? You will think so when you
read the following:
Two Holstein sales have recently
been held in the county. The cattle
in one of the herds was tuberculin
tested while in the other they were
not. In the first case men from 9TH
er parts of the state attended the sale,
bid and bought a number of animals.
This sale averaged nearly $500 per
head. In the other case the cattle
were not tested. In spite of the fact
that this sale was held the next day
after the. one mentioned above, the
buyers from outside the county did not
stay. Why? Because they had a
tuberculin-free herd at home and there
fore could not buy cows that had not
been tested.
The writer understands that the cat
tie in this second sale sold for such a
low price that the owner decided not
to sell them all. / 1t certainly pays to
have your herd tested. Send to the
Farm Bureau office for application
blanks. F
Dr. Elissen, State Veterinarian, and
DR.. ]. S. Healy, also of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, report that
Il ,428 head of cattle were shipped out
of Wisconsin in 1919 for breeding pur-
poses, while only 4,l47 head were brot
into the state. The figures empha-
size the importance of the work being
done by the department in eradicating
tuberculosis, and thus creating an
increased demand for disease-free cat
tie. There are whole counties in
Wisconsin that are entirely free of tu-
berculosis. Medina should be one'oi
these free counties in Ohio.

UNDERTAKEN KILLED
AT n. 0. CROSSING
WHILE DRIVING CAR
IN FUNERAL CORTEGE
Casket Broken Open and Corpse.
Hurled Into Wster Pools. A.
Auble, Victim. Wellknown In
County.

A shocking and what is probably
one Of the most gruesome accidents
that has occurred in Medina county,
took place on Monday afternoon Of

eral director and well-known citizen
Of Lodi. met instant death, while driv-
ing funeral car from, River Corners
to Spencer
"A cortege was following the body
Of Mrs. Manford Burkey from her late
home in Rivers Corners TO Spencer
for burial, and was at the crossing Of
the Northern Ohio railroad, a mile and
quarter east Of Spencer, when the
accident occurred. The carriage
bearing the officiating clergyman had
safely passed over the crossing and
was followed by Mr.. Auble driving
the funeral car. AS the latter was on
the track the eastbound passenger
train struck it squarely, completely
wrecking the car and killing Mr.. Auble
instantly, crushing his head and
throwing his body more than an hun
dred feet.
The horror of the accident was in
\ tensified by the fact that the casket
containing the body Of Mrs. Burkey
was burst open and the body hurled
some distance into a pool .of water.
Friendly hands tenderly gathered up
the two dead bodies, placed them on
the train, tile latter backing up to
Spencer, where tie remains were car
