BARGAIN DAYS MAY
BE BETTER THAN EVER

Already the Medina Advertising
club is busy lining up for its sixth
Golden Rule Sale Day which will be
conducted on Monday, Oct. 8.
Whether or not this will mark the end
Of these monthly sales days in Medi-
ma is yet to be determined. It
seems probable that it will not, how
ever, as there is goodly number Of
the merchants who openly avow
themselves as heartily favoring
continuance of the monthly event to
the point Of making it permanent
institution. This Notwithstanding
that few members Of the club have
apparently got "cold feet"
In fact, those favoring continu-
ance Of Bargain Da y are desirous
Of going to extraordinary pains to
make the future events more at
tractive thar ever before. To this
end a special meeting has been called
for tonight, Thursday, when plans
win be presented and discussed, and
lit may be stated that there Is 9
strong likelihood that Monday, Oct. 8,
instead Of sig.aliz;ng the end of the
series Of six bargain days the club

TYPHOID HEADS LIST
OF DISEASES in COUNTY

Typhoid fever was the most preva-
lent disease reported in Medina coun-
ty last month, says Health Commits
siorier Biggs in his August report.
This same condition largely holds
thruout the state, and the State Lab
oratory at Columbus has been clogged
with samples Of water sent infor an
alysis. As a result, Health Commits
sioners thruout the state have been
requested to refuse to collect water
for examination, until any defect in
construction or location Of a well
that might result in its contamina-
ton shall have been corrected.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1921-09-15

Six wells in Medina county were
examined during August, says Dr..
Biggs, and in each case the water
was found to be unsafe for domestic
use unless previously boiled.
sour reports on vital statistics
are consistently delayed from north
to month by several local registrars
thruout the county who cannot be
induced to mail their monthly re-
ports promptly by the fifth of each
month as they are required to do BY
the State Bureau of Vital Statistics"
states DR.. Biggs. "These statis-
tics instead Of being available on the
sixth of each month, as they should
be, are Invariably held up for q per
iod Of from one to two weeks be
yond that date" he says.

HOLsTEIN MEN ALIVE

On last Saturday night number
of prominent Holstein members of
Medina county met at the Farm
Bureau offices to discuss matters of
interest to every breeder.
Mr.. Clair I. Miller of Granger,
Chairman of the Medina Holstein
Association, stated that an active as
3sociation must be formed if the black
and white cattle are to hold their own.
1t was decided that arrangements be
made for the completion of the mem
bership campaign that was stat :.
spring, after which an organizations
meeting will be held to elect new Of
fcers.
Several men agreed to exhibit 6" 49,
at the 1921 fair. A committee COM
posed of F. D. Koons and Ed. Net.
tleton was appointed to arrange for a
Holstein booth at the fair.

DO GOOD ROADS
COST TOO MUCH?
Speakers at Wiley City Raises
Question.

Senator Brannd of Ravenna, in
recent speech given at Valley City,
raised the question whether or not
good roads cost too much.
The tax duplicate in the State OF
Ohio is $25O,OOO,OO0. Fifty million
of this goes to the state, another $780,
100000 to the schools, leaving $780,
100000 for good roads. In Medina
county this year, if plans go thru,
$1,0O0,0OO will be spent on road con-
struction. Ir addition to this, 1884,
900 will be spent on road repair.
There are three sources from which
the amount spent on repair is secur-
ed.
First, $4,000 from state aid
sources and which will be applied on
43 miles of state aid road. Second,
one-half Of the auto licenses secured
in the county, which will amount to
$4,000. Third, one-half the two
mill levy which comes from eleven
townships, which will bring the
amount to $234,000.
| The Senator stated that in his
4 home county Of Madison, before the
war some roads in his county cos
$4,000 and that the same roads
now, cost $4O,000-the only differ
ence being that they are one-hal1
inch thicker. In this county there
are 800 miles Of roads Of which only
! 100 miles are improved, yet at ths
! cost Of roads per mile today and a
the present value of farm land i
would take GAO acres Of land to pa!

road 10 feet wide thru the middle o

Finish the Job

View OF Rev. Z. H. Dornblasel
D. D.. pastor of the Second Luthera
Church. Springfield:
To discontinue our vigilance
now, or to allow Our organization
to grow weak, or to fail to press
the advantage gained in the last
twenty-seven years of struggle
would be as unwise as for a man
severely to wound tiger even
to the state of enforced present
inactivity. and then to let the tiger
recover his strength and allow
him to crafty his passion for
blood. Better finish the job to
the extinction of the beast.

Officials Give the Credit to
Prohibition
ILLINOIS CITIES HAVE
FEWER PRISON INMATES
Chicago Shows Decrease in Most
0fenses
DRUNKENNESS ARRESTS LESS

! On March p the Associated Press
made public statements gathered from
sixteen states relative to crime and
jail statistics. The figures showed a
decided falling off in practically every
kind OF crime in nearly every section
covered by the survey. The total
prison population in the sixteen mid
die and southwestern states on De-
cember |, 1920 showed a falling off
OF l2.4 per cent. Wardens and other
prison officials cited Prohibition more
than any other cause for the decrease.
In Missouri William Il. Painter,
chairman OF the state prison board
gave Prohibition unqualified credit
for lessening crime.
Fewer Illinois Prisoners
On March 19 VIII Colvin, superin-
tendent of pardons and paroles of the
State Department OF Public Welfare
OF Illinois published survey of Illi-
nols prisoners showing a decrease in
the number OF prisoners in practically
every part OF the state except Chicago.
Police chiefs. sheriffs and states at
torneys in over sixty cities and coun-
ties were interviewed by Mr.. Colvins
agents. In the larger cities down
state such as Rock Island, Peoria,
Springfield, East St. Louis and De-
catur there has been less crime in
1920 than in former years. In the
few cities which reported an increase
in crimes during the year. the increase
was almost invariably for petty Of

1--WE Need the League"

Timely warning from Rev. o. a
Keach, pastor First United Presby
terian Church, Akron:
1t was through the Anti-Saloon
League that victory came in the
fight for National Prohibition.
Eternal vigilance is the price
OF victory. The armisticc has
not been signed by the liquor
forces. Why should we disband
our army while the war is still on?
We need the organized power
of the Anti-Saloon League to
force the signing OF the armis-
tice and the abandonment of the
war by the liquor forces. When
they surrender then we can dis
band our force.

Church and League

The situation as viewed by Rev
w. B. Arlington, pastor Windemer
NJ. f. Church, Cleveland:
If there is any argument for
the maintenance Of the Christian
church, that same argument is
good for the maintenance of the
Anti-Saloon League, for while the
Church is working to save the
individual, the League is the
church at worK trying to save the
nation.

The time between the close Of

ablishment Of the American
Republic has been described by
the historian John Fiske as THE
Critical Period in American His

l..ever was there more need of
the organization of the Christian
citizenship known as the Anti
Saloon League as the present. 1t
is the only organization in the
land that has for its own and sole
aim, the securing and enforcing
OF such laws as will make the
United States a dry nation. Its
leaders have learned by expert
ence the ways and means OF gain

BEER NOT A MEDICINE
By DIR. ]. H. Kellogg, Battle
Creek, Michigan

Since the ordinary sale OF in
toXicating drinks has been out
lawed by constitutional Pro-
hibition, some physicians have
been willing to assist rum
thirsty citizens by supplying
them with prescriptions to be
filled at drug stores, relying
upon such obsolete and erro-
neous teaching as that OF the
Dispensatory to support and
justify their action. But there
is good reason to believe that
in the near future such perni-
cious statements will cease to
appear in standard medical lit
erature.
More than three years age,
at its annual meeting, the Amer
ican Medical Association. the
worlds largest body of organ
lied scientists, adopted the fol
lowing preamble and resolution:
Whereas, We believe that
the use of alcohol is detrimental
to the human economy, and
whereas its use in therapeutics
as a tonic or stimulant or for
food has no scientific value.
Resolved, That the use OF
alcohol as a therapeutic agent
should be discouraged"
This view is amply sustained
by laboratory research and by
the experiences in the treatment
OF wounded soldiers during the
war. No informed medical
man would now think OF adj
ministering alcohol to combat
shock or collapse, since it has
been clearly shown that alcohol,
when introduced into the circu-
lation, does not raise blood
pressure and of itself produces
the very conditions which arc
the fundamental causes OF
shock and collapse.

This from Rev. T. Z. McCammoi
D. D., pastor M. Z. Church, S
Marys:
Disband the Anti-S a1oon
League? No indeed. Anyone
who takes time to study the wick
edness of the human heart knows
that the temperance fight is just
we'll under way. The climax of
the campaign has not yet been
reached. The enemy has simply
taken to cover--to build up his
shattered lines, prepare more
poisonous gases, build more Big
Berthas and secure more reports
from his spies. The next two
or three years viii see the most
villainous and brutal attacks. upon
our temperance forces that have
ever been made, and if we do not
have our eagle-eyed Anti Saloon
League to watch every movement
we will lose all we have gained
and our last state will be worse
than our first.

that you had placed me on your

As to conditions here, they are
really bad. People drink more than

There is, however, one light point.
There is a local option law proposed

OF the papers it is quite probable that
it will be adopted. 1t will still per-

Appeal by Bishop Nicholson and an Editorial in Continent
Lead to the Discussion
PRESENT THE CRITICAL time IN DRY MOVEMENT
Is STRONG CONVICTION EXPRESSED BY WRITERS
The Drys Must Not DemobIze While the Vets Still Fight Victory
Will Be Lost
ILLINOIS WILL MATCH OHIO in THEIR WILL TO FINISH THE FIGHT

Recently the Illinois Issue printed
letter from Bishop Nicholson, also
an article from the Continent in which
the vital need of continuing the organ
lied fight against the liquor traffic was
pointed out. The Ohio edition of the
American Issue last week printed let
ters from various preachers and
church leaders in that state in which
the question of continued organized
fighting for Prohibition is discussed.
Since these letters are prompted by
the expressions of Illinois leaders.
and because they consider the general
problem which is as vital in Illinois
as elsewhere in the nation, extracts
from the opinions OF Ohio preachers
are re-published in this number.
These stirring messages from leaders
in the birth state OF the Anti-Saloon
League, from men familiar with the
fight through the years are a clear
and inspiring call to renewed service
in the Prohibition cause.
The opinions of Bishop Nicholson
and the Continent as we'll as the Ohio
letters undoubtedly express the over
Whelming judgment and spirit OF
church men and women throughout
the nation. In this there is inspira-
ton to the forces of law and order
and the friends OF Prohibition. In it,
too, there is an indication of what they
may expect who in public life base
their actions on the belief that the
army which won Prohibition legisia-
ton will not fight for Prohibition en-
forcement.
The following is from the Ohio edi-
ton of the American Issue:
The announced intention of Bishop
Thomas Nicholson, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, to urge the churches
in his jurisdiction 10 continue their
moral and financial support of the
Anti-Saloon League because he con-
siders the present a critical period
in Prohibition history, and that the
drys must maintain a strong organi-
zation to make good on their victo-
ries. was followed by the Continent,
the well-known Presbyterian publica-
ton, which asserted that with the ef-
forts now being made by the wet
interests to break down dry sentiment
and dry laws, "The country can not
afford to lose the Anti-Saloon League
Renew your pledge"
The American Issue asked few
ministers here in Ohio what they
thought of the position Of Bishop
Nicholson and the Continent, and il
they, too, believed the dry forces
should be kept intact, and if the Anti
Saloon League is as necessary in
guarding what has been won and in
repulsing the attacks OF the organized
vets, as it was in organizing and con-
Quoting the campaigns which led up
to Prohibition.
Below are some of the answers re-
ceivcd:
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1921-04-08
No Time to Rest

DR.. J. Knox Montgomery, presiden
OF Muskingum College, writes:
1t goes without saying that the
Anti-Saloon League. which has
had so large part in our vic
tories thus far, should have the
loyal and unremitting support of
every enemy of liquor, until the
legitimate dealers and conniving
public officials shall cease to vio-
late law in their endeavor to keep
this outlawed enemy alive.

Need of Organization

Forceful statement from DR.. F. N
Evans, of Athens, superintendent O
the Marietta District of the Methods
Church:
Public sentiment can only be
aroused. crystallized, sustained
and intelligently directed by eff
cient organization and wise lead
ership. The sane, sensible, eff
cient and successful Anti-Saloon
League is as badly needed today
as ever before i it is simply i'm
perative that it should continue
to function.

Great Battle is Ahead

This is the belief of DR. George w
Orcutt. district superintendent of the
NJ. +. Church, Wooster:I
The great battle for a dry
America as we'll as a dry world,
is ahead and not behind us. The
splendid work accomplished by
the Anti-Saloon League entities it
to the full confidence of every
