LEGION MAN HASNENS
WIDOWS PENSION

Another example of the fact thai
the American Legion is an orgs'niza
tion whose first concern is the bei,efi
of the widows and orphans of decesFs
ed service men comes to light with tn {
award to Mrs. Melissa Welton of Har-
Inony street of a widows pension.
Mrs. Welton's husband served thru
the entire Civil War, and she made ap-
plication many months ago for the
pension to which she was entitled.
However, the mills of the gods have
nothing on the government depart
ments when it comes to the speed with
which they grind, and the delay was
very disheartening.
A member Of the District of Colum-
bia Department of the American Leg
ion resident in Medina, took Mrs.
Welton's case up with the Department
Adjutant, with the result that he per.
sona1ly Investigated the matter and
received the verbal assurance of the
Pension Office that the case would be
given prompt attention.
The many friends Of Mrs. Welton
are glad that she has obtained what
was her due.

Ohio WOOL BEST
!. IN UNITED STATES
Effort Being Made to Restore
J. Industry to Former
GlOries.
SHEEP \FLOCKS HAVE
sHRUNK in FEW YEARS
Cooperative Selling Means
More Money for Growers
Without Increase Cost j..
to Public. @

DO you know th@L Onlo WOOL iS re-
garded as the best wool in the United
States and that Medina county wool
growers are rapidly coming to their
own through affiliation with the state
organization, Of which, Medina
county man is a member of the exc
cutive committee?
Do you know that wool is good for
other things besides making gar
ments, yarn and fabrics; that the
sheep furnishes not only clothing and
skin goods and food, but also a heal
ing lotion as we'll? f\
| These are questions that the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation, in it's ef'-
forts to help restore the sheep and
wool industry of the state to it's
former glories, is asking the people.
In other words, the bureau is ask
ling the people of Ohio, from week to
week, the question "How much do
you know about your state?" and
asking with specific application.
The specific application is to wool
and the bureau answers it's own
questions.
Ohio had and has the best wool be-
because, according to members of the
Ohio Sheep & Wool Breeders Asso-
citation Ohio men have given more
attention than others to breeding.
Ohio was the birthplace of the fine
wool staple idea. Ohio fleeces are
regarded as best because Of the
strength, length Of the staple and fine
quality Of fiber that characterizes
them.
Breeding Of Delaines has been
followed extensively and with marked
improvement, and it is the Delaines
that make the finer wool. Nh.
Shropshires, it is pointed out, are
bred mostly for mutton and the wool
from them and the mixed breeds is
medium. About half the wool pro-
duced annually in Ohio is fine staple
and half medium. E .
Wool men grade the producing
sheep as quarter-bloods, three-eighths
and Delaine. With a breeding of'less
than one-half, the wool becomes, un-
der present standards, medium to
poor. Delaine wools' are used ex-
clusively in fine clothing.
Sheep flocks in Ohio have shrunk
one-half in the last few years. Last
year there were about 100000 sheep
in the state as against 5,5O0,OO0 at
the high point few years ago. Prob
ABLY the number this year is 10 per
cent. less than it was last year, and
sheep men say there is no encourage
ment to increase the present number.
The gathering of by-products be-
gins with the washing of the wool.
Farmers no longer drive their flocks
to water to wash them before the
spring shearing, as in the past. The
wool is sent to the mills as shorn.
There it is secured, and freed from

WILL CHECK WEIGHT
ON ROAD MATERIALS

A check-up system in the weight
Of materials delivered for road build
ing purposes by StateAuditor Tracey
is likely to result in the state and
counties getting as nearly as possi-
ble all they are paying for.
That there haye been gross dis
.crepancies in the past there is no
doubt. In fact, only two weeks ago
work was held up on heApike north
of Seville because of shortage in
weight Of a car load of Stag, brought
ito light BY an inspection made by a
federal and state officer, the dis
icrepancy amounting to 5 pounds to
the foot says County Engineer Bib
bins. ~. &
Realizing that it is impossible to
weigh every load Of such materials,
the auditor has devised system
whereby frequent checks win be made
at such times and places as will
ggive the companies and their opera
tives no opportunity tol"cover up"
Revelations in Franklin county
recently, showing that many loads
Of road material delivered fail to
measure up to the delivery slip fig
Iures, are believed to have been the
partial cause, at least, Of the in
auguration of the new system.
Books and records in every county
in the state will be inspected by ex-
Iaminers Of the state bureau Of ac-
counting, beginning July l, with par
ticular attention being given to road
building materials, and system is
contemplated whereby frequent checks
of actual weights can be made.
The general assembly recently gave
the state auditor additional funds for
prosecuting various inquiries, $12,-
900 having been appropriated to as
sist him in checking highway ex-
penditures. H' fra
About $4,000 Of that amount will

WILL REPAIR PIKE'IN
TINE FOR THE FOURTH

The pike south Of Medina to the
lake road is to be temporarily repair
ed in time to facilitate traffic to and
from Chippewa Lake park On the
Fourth Of July. This was decided
by the County Commissioners on Mon
day when they were met by a dele
cation from the Medina Kiwanis
club who asked them for a small ap:
preparation for the repair work in
behalf Of the American Legion boys
Who are putting on the big celebra-
ton at the lake. The Kiwanis dele,
cation was accompanied by County
Engineer Bibbins, who assured the
commissioners that il the appropria-
.tion was made he would see that the
repair work was done by Julyl4.
y The pike is tp be rebuilt as soon
aas Medina village gets around to dis
pose Of $1075 worth Of it's bonds to
defray its share Of the cost, legis-
Ilation for which was completed
some time ago. But as the summer is
half gone and there is but little like
hood Of the work being done this year
the commissioners were persuaded to
the expediency Of temporary repairs,
particularly at this time when It
may mean 50 much for the success Of
the American Legion celebration, il
which all the people Of the country
naturally are interested. Engineer
Bibbias will have nearly $500 for the
work. ss

BOARD ! ARD. MISTAKEN
Auditor Disagrees, a\s to Com
parative Co$t of
Operating.
ISSUES STATEMENT,
OF FACTS AN I'D FIGURES
Insists That All Appropriations
Must Fall Within the
Prescribed Tax
Limitati pms.

~ Su ~ Wy oehtihei dH open letter IIolh
the Medina County B hard of Health in
regard to finances fe,f the year 1921,
and the probable amt ,Ant for 1922.
The assertion was made that they
believed the cost of operating under
the old system where each township
and village paie | their own health ex-
penses greatly exceeded the cost Of
operating und' sr the new system.
Concerning the assertion of the
health board, County Auditor Wash
burn issues the following statement:
"In the year 1919, which was the
year befoi e the Hughes-G -Griswold law
became ef fective, there was a total
sum ofS$1 lll.4l expended by all the
townships and villages in the county
TOR health purposes, such as quaran-
tine, funaig iation, health officers, etc.
Last year he health board filed bud
get for$64( 10 for expenses for the year
1921 which were classified as follows.
Hs24Oo yfo nurse and expenses, In
clndingf fpui chase of second hand Ford
car.
$1,000 ftn incidentals, covering
printing, q, larantine, 'fumigation, pay
to deputies, quarantine of sick, poor,
etc.
$1,000 for l alary Of health commits
Sioner, sincluA ng transportation and
Vail expenses. \ Ss. s'A
$4,000 10 IN was cut, to $500 BY
the Budget Cot nmission, leaving a
total for health purposes Of $4,000, OF
which $1,000 was ~ be paid by the
state and 5000 by the townships and
villages, according to the taxable val
uation in each.
Therefore the cosAlt Of operating un-
der the new system | i,oNr This year will
exceed the old system for the year
1919 by $478S.59, and ,e't they say they
will run short Of fund S.
n "The budget on fill, for next year
asks for $74O0 and thei .e is practically
no change in the tax Ii initiation and
no doubt valuations will | be kower ow-
ing to the depreciation in personal
property.
"The lawprovides that the money
Elevied as their share of the county
health fund shall be taktnl from the
general fund Of each township and
village, and last year none of the
villages and very few of the townships
could levy enough inside the tax lin
itiation in their general f,1nd for cNr-
rent expenses, without the health
fund.
"The open letter of the he 'alth board
stated that it is up to the Bu iget Com
mission to say how much they can
have to spend for next year. That is
true as far as il. goes,but the Budget
Commission is governed by the tax
limitation for each fund or funds and
have no right to exceed such limita-'
tions ~
