LIGHTING SYSTEM
TO BE EXTENDED

. Arrangements have been completed
with the Ohio Gas and Electric Co.
To extend its service as far north as
Fenn's Corners, the conditions being
that the residents along the way be-
yond the village limits bear the cost
of the poles, which they have agreed
to do,h It is the purpose to erect new
poles along the entire distance, upon
which will be. strung both the light
ing and telephone wires, within cables
the poles to become the joint property
of the local lighting and telephone
companies. }'8
Erstwhile the farm homes north Of
Medina have either been dependent
upon the primitive oil lamp, or CON-
PEELED at a considerable expense to
install individual lighting systems,
which most Of them have done.
The people east Of Medina in Gran
ger are likewise desirous of securing
a similar arrangement with the Ohio
Gas and Electric Co., and it is prob
able that they too will be accorded the
service. In this event it is predict
ed that only a comparatively short
time will elapse before every farm
home in the county will be afforded
the convenience of electric lighting
that is now for the most part confin.
ed to the larger centers.
1t is understood that work Of the
north extension will be begun soon.

Assured From DawnJYiIl
Midnight, With Com
fort for Everybody

The many thousands Of people who
attended the Fourth of July celebra-
tion at Chippewa Lake year. ago
under the auspices Of the American
Legion, will welcome the news that
this virile organization Of young
braves is to attempt similar cele-
bration this year at the same place,
with the added purpose that it shall
surpass the former national anniver-
sary jubilee in all particulars.
Members Of the American Legion
have repeatedly demonstrated their
capacity for achievement in the paths
of peace no less than Of war, and
when they announce to the public
the many big things they may expect
to be provided for their entertain
ment at the lake on the fourth Of
next month, the statement may just
ly be given the fullest credence.
From dawn till midnight will be Q
continuous carnival of clean and var
led amusements, among which may be
mentioned a sham battle--a gigantic
and realistic war spectacle by vet
Grams of the 9th Division, with full
equipment, consisting of rifles, trench
mortars, etc.; the time-honored mid
way, typical in every respect; ball
games; the famous ladies' band Of
forty pieces from Barberton, and in
the evening a massive and fantastic
fireworks display on the water front
the effects heightened by the sinuous
movements Of brilliantly lighted
and decorated gondolas dipping theil
way near the shore. There will be
bowling, bathing and rowing, ant
dancing afternoon and evening.
Parking space will be provided fol
! 5000 automobiles and there will bt
special street car service to and from
the grounds throughout the day anC
evening.
Fifteen thousand seven hundred and
sixty admission tickets were sold al
the celebration by the American Leg
ion at the lake last year, and it was
known that great many persons
slipped into the grounds with th'
crowds at gate without paying. Thu'
it was conservatively estimated tha
no less than $4,000 persons were OF
the grounds during the day. Th'
weather conditions were perfect, ant
with the same favorable conditions
on the Fourth Of July this year i
may safely be predicted that ther'
will be larger aggregation Of peo
pie at Chippewa Lake on that da!
than the famous resort has ever hat
before. sH a, HF

Wednesday, June 8.
Mr.. z. B. Wallin of the Department
of Marketing, Ohio State University.
who had charge Of the meetings, is CON
Quoting similar meetings throughout
the state. 1t is the intention of the
University to get in closer touch with
the elevator man and his problems.
Such subjects as "Strong and Weak
Features of Constitution and By
Laws" "The Qualifications and Duties
of Managers and Directors" were dis
cussed.
Mr.. Brady of the Federal Bureau
of Markets discussed the Warehousing
Act recently adopted by the govern
ment.
"This piece of legislation is the best
thing that has happended to the farm
er since the Federal Farm Loan act"
says Henry Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture. ..
The elevator or warehouse that
holds license under federal SUPER
vision can give the farmer a ware
house receipt for the produce he puts
in storage. This receipt can be turn
ed into the bank and receive money
on loan. ....,. ....
Mr.. ]. A.. Krabach, travelling auditor
of the Ohio Equity Exchange Co.,
gave very interesting and instruc-
tive talk on accounting and book
keeping systems.
The keeping of records in elevators
4 has developed into special system.
The bookkeeper, the accountant and
the auditor are all necessary features
of this system. The bookkeeper
keeps the actual records, the account
ant analizes the records and the au-
ditor interprets and investigates the
correctness of the records. Mr.. Kra-
bach advised the managers and Boards
of Directors to require their bookkeep
ers to make monthly statements as to
the condition of the business.
Mr.. ]. Cannon, Federal Grain In
spector for the Toledo district, DEM
onstrated the grading of wheat with
the assistance of Mr.. Fuller, manager
of the Spencer Equity. 1t was very
clearly demonstrated how by improper
methods of making the test that diff
ferent results can be obtained. Mr..
J. D. Dannley, County Sealer of
Weights and Measures, discussed the
difference in the test due to inaccur-
acy in weighing devises.
The managers cooperating with
Mr.. Dannley and County Agent Hal
derson will attempt to clear up the
dissatisfaction that is current regard
ing wheat testing.
AT the close of the session the man
ayers elected officers of their county
association-Mr. Fuller, president, Mr..

Not Equal the Orders
Being Turned in By
Statesmen

+ Following closely the taking over
of the Superfix Rubber Co. plant at
Elyria by the Akron Universal Tire
and Rubber Co. a few weeks ago, not
ice of which appeared in the Sentinel
at the time, comes the information
that the same company has purchased
the Keck Mrg. Co. plant at West
Unity, Ohio, manufacturers of what
|is known on the market as the Keck
Safety Boot, by which the Medina
company believes it has put across a
remarkably successful financial deal
for its stockholders.
The boot" is not merely piece of
fabric covering the inside surface
where the casing is ruptured or blown
out, but an improved blowout boot
that will hold the strain where the
casing is weak. 1t is claimed the
boot will not creap and has no
bothersome flaps to project over the
edge of the rim; will hold rim Gu.
as we'll as blow out, and will not az
low the casing to bulge. With the
aid of this boot the company states,
many additional miles can be obtained
from worn tires which otherwise
would be discarded.
The Akron Universal Tire and P
| Der Co.'s attention was first directed
to the Keck safety boot by one of its
agents w. E. Case of Medina, who had
seen the boot undergo severe and Sue
cessful tests land discovered that it
was big seller, so much so that the
Keck Go. was unable to manufacture
thtn III pace with its orders, and was
not in financial condition to. expand
its capacity
At this juncture President Baker ot
the Medina company conferred with
the Kecks at West Unity, brought
them to Medina to inspect the local
plant, made them an offer for thell
plant and business ,and closed the
deal then and there, since which time
the safety boot has been manufactured
at West Unity in the name of the AK.
ron-Universal Tire and Rubber Co.
President Baker stated to the Senti.
mel this week that the machinery In
| the Keck plant at West Unity has
been dismantled and is already on the
way to Medina for installation in the
local factory. According to Presi.
dent Baker both the safety boot as
we'll as the Superfix product machiil
cry will be operated for the present by
electric power, which is now in proc
ess Of installation.
The Superfix machinery arrived ir
| Medina last week and is nearly ir
readiness at the plant for operation
1t is installed in the basement of the
factory, which is we'll adapted in ev.
cry way for the purpose. The safety
boot machinery company will be in
stalled at the north end of the mair
floor, adjoining the offices, and thu
company declares it will be turning
out its new product at the local plan
before the end of this month, at tn,
rate of 800 or more day, which il
unequal to the rate agents are mailing
in orders.

SOUTHERN IRELAND HAS
:, SOME LOYAL PEOPLE

London, July 25.-Correspondence
of Associated Press s).-Numbers of
southern Irish loyalist refugees, in
dire straits, are daily arriving in Lon
don. In many cases, they are women
and children who have lost their bread
winners and frequently their sole pos
sessions are the clothes they wear,
their homes and ether possessions
having been destroyed.
Under the malicious injury act, all
these people are entitled to compensa-
ti0n, leviable on the local rates, but
although DEGREES have been granted
for sums aggregating millions of
pounds, very few have been paid. It
is said that in consequence of terror
ism. lawyers in southern Ireland are
frequently unable to prosecute claims
against the local authorities, as they
have been threatened with death
should they do so.
The London committee of the Irish
Unionist Alliance is now taking up
such claims. and is preparing an ap-
peal to the British government ask
ing that compensation. both in respect
OF life and properly. shall be made a
first charge upon any moneys that
may be handed over by the British ex-

EASTERN GIRLS HAVE
TAKEN TO THE ROAD


New York, Aug. 6.-The roaming
complex, sometimes called the wander
lust, has become epidemic among
eastern girls of debutante years. Not
a few of them are tramping across
the continent this summer, gathering
an occasional "lift"t from kindly auto
mobile tourists and walking the rest
of the way. So-called sensible shoes,
khaki trousers and the will to work
when the purse becomes emaciated
characterize most of them.
Some of these eastern girls declare
they find the west safer for young
women than New York city. Rebecca
Brownstein and Myra Levine. former
students of Syracuse University, who
recently hiked from the Pacific to their
homes here, praised western men so
highly that many mothers began
praying that their dear daughters
would not get any of "those crazy
ideas of walking across the country
into their heads.
Florence Rosen and Gladys Zim-
norman of New York, reached Los
Angeles few days ago after long
tramp across the continent, broken by
jobs of stretching octaves on type
writer's whenever funds ran low. They
liked the open air life so well that
