LOCAL COMPANY PAYS
QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

The directors of the Medina Manu-.
featuring Co. met on Dec. 29 and de-
clared the regular quarterly dividend
OF Q per cent. payable on all stock ot
book record of Dec. 20.
The annual meeting of stockholders
OF the company will be held on Jan
Is for the election of new board OF
directors.
The company shut down two weeks
ago to take the annual inventory
which is now in progress. 1t was the
expressed expectation of the company
to resume operations Immediately fol-
lowing the taking of the inventory, but
general business conditions at this
time, say officials, do not warrant
their doing so:~
Rumors to the effect that the Ford
Co. of Detroit has cancelled all its
orders of the local company as well
as The Henry Furnace and Foundry
Co., are emphatically denied by Off
Gals of both of the latter companies,
who state that while business may be
suspended for brief period, the out
look for an early resumption is pro-
pitious.
Despite the fact that the Ford com
pany recently shut down its automo.
bile factory, the Medina Mig. Co. re-
ceived request last week from the
Ford company for quotations on a
grist OF new orders, says a member oi
the local concern.

suppression OF blood poison.

A., C. & Y. PLANS
Big IMPROVEMENTS
TO DRAIN, RE-RAIL
AND BALLAST LINE
Will Resume Motor Car Service ON
January Is Between Mogadore and
Copley-Extension to Medina Is
Uncertain.

Information that is regarded as re-
liable was CLEANED this week that the
Akron, Canton & Youngstown Rail-
way, commonly known as the North
ern Ohio, has decided upon whole
sale rejuvenation of its line, the en-
tire distance from Akron to Delphos,
and will begin work upon the improve
ments as early in the coming spring
as weather conditions will allow.
Rumors to the effect that the Ak
ron, Canton & Youngstown company's
lease of the road is to be returned to
the owners, the Wheeling & Lake Erie
company, is denied by those regarded
as in position to speak with assur-
ance concerning the matter.
The first item of improvement the
company expects to take up will be
the effecting of proper drainage, by
opening an adequate ditch the whole
length Of the line.
Following this a complete new track
will be laid, of steel rails considerably
larger than the present rails, which
are not holding up under the heavy
freight traffic the company has been
enjoying for some time, and which, it
is said, is continually increasing.
The rails have been purchased, and
work of laying them will start, it is
believed, as soon as possible follow
ing completion of the work of drain
age.
1t is expected that ditching, laying
of the rails and ballasting will con-
sumo number of months.
Another movement that may be re-
garded as indicative of the widening
scope of the company, is that of re-
storing the motor car service between
Mogadore and Copley, which will be
done on April Is.
This service was discontinued two
or three months ago, the company
stating at that time that the motor
cars were not proving sufficiently re-
liable or satisfactory, and that the
amount of passenger traffic did not
warrant their continuance. lust
what, if anything, has been done to
stabilize the motor cars, or to justify
the company in resuming the service.
could not be learned. 1t is believed.
however, thatvthe discontinuance was
due more to lack OF travel in the
rural districts during the winter
months.
Whether or not the company pur-
poses extending its motor car SER
service as far as Medina, as seemed
likely at one time last year, cannot be
learned at this time, but the resuming
OF the service at SO early date, to-
gether with proposed extensive i'm
provements of the line, may be taken
as favorable TO the "consummation"
tor which Medina people have so de-
voutly wished.

(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Juue 30. - Vanilla extract, which should only make it's proper appearance in cakes or cookies, is making Kansas univer- sity students wild, according to a complaint reaching this city.
 It is charged that some of the Y. M. c. A. dormitory students have been cutting loose on vanilla extract on their Saturday night parties and that the extract packs a wallop which makes the kick" of white mule" seem like a mere caress in comparison.
 All of this is set forth in a letter received by Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, of Kansas, and sent by J. H. White, a Y. M. c. A. roomer, at Lawrence, Kansas. White alleges that one of the vanilla extract inhalers stole $3 hat from him during a fanciful orgy and even threatened his life when he lawfully requested that it be returned to him immediately if not sooner.
