FITTING CEREMONIAL
ON ARMISTICE DAY

Inclement weather kept many peo-
pie from attending the Armistice day
celebration in Medina last Friday, al
though quite number, standing under
their umbrellas in the park, witness
ed the program by the school pupils
given on the steps of the court house,
and were repaid for their efforts. The
singing of patriotic songs and the brief
season of silent prayer were indeed
impressive and the little singers
voices pealed with true ring.
Following the outdoor program
many repaired to the Congregational
church to hear an address by General
John r. McQuigg, this service being
in charge of the local American Le-
gion post, John Moore serving as
chairman of the meeting. Preceding
the address by Gen. McQuigg, a full
choir sang patriotic numbers with
rousing spirit.
Gen. McQuigg spoke feelingly OF
the achievement of American boys in
the war and particularly of the Ohio
lads, who glori6ed themselves in some
of the fercest engagements of the
great conflict.
The speaker urged the importance
OF everybody uniting now to help pre-.
serve the transcendent ideals for
which the war was fought.

ERROR DISFRANCHISES
WESTERN STAR VOTERS

There was a mix-up in the election
at Western Star last week which has
stirred up trouble. The small village
is incorporated, about two-ffths Of
the voters residing in Summit county,
and three-fifths in Medina county.
Ballots for the municipal ticket were
furnished the Summit county side
when they went to vote at Norton
Center, but when the Medina county
side came to Wadsworth to vote there
were no ballots for them, consequent I.
ly the majority Of Western Star cleo
tors were disfranchised. A commit
tee was promptly appointed to con-
fer with the prosecuting attorney at
Akron relative to holding another
election at which all may express
their preferences. "A

WEST RICHFIELD LAD
RUNS A SKUNK FARM

If more boys were of the mirtd OF
Vernon Schovie who lives on a farm
near West Richfield and who is in
his second year of pig club work,
there would be skunk clubs as well
as pig and calf and poultry clubs run
for farm boys. Vernon is raising
the pole-cats for their pelts.
The farm was begun when he trap
ped a female, put splints on her brok-
en- leg, and kept her in a box-coop
in the barn. She has seven little ones
all Of which, successfully raised have
now multiplied to Is.
Vernon has rugged UP box-coops
with wire runs for the animals. He
feeds them butchers offal. They
give no trouble, he declares, and
the price of the pelts makes it well
worth while to raise them. m

WILL CUT RED TAPE
in PAYING BONUS

That red tape is to be cut in ad-
ministering the Ohio Soldiers bonus,
the amendment for which carried
unanimously at the polls last week,
was indicated Monday at a meeting
in Columbus of the sinking fund
commissioners who, under the amend
ment, are charged with paying off
the former service men and women
entitled to the adjusted compensation.
It developed that the commissioners
are all determined to get the money
into the hands of the men with the
least possible delay and formality
that is consistent with safeguarding
the funds against fraud.
There is also a strong possibility
that, in the language Of one of the
commissioners, "The American Leg
ion will become our most valuable
auxiliary organization in handling
applications"
It is possible that, in each county,
a legion member will be delegated to
assist men in filling out their ap-
plications.
Brig. Gen. J. r. McQuigg of Cleve-
land, state director of the adjusted
compensation campaign, said in
Cleveland Monday: II am satisfied
the state sinking fund commission at
Columbus will do all in it's power to
provide an early adjustment"

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT SPENCER
-- II
Slim Chance Of Its Being Set
Over Into a "New
County"
WELLINGTON MAN is
AGITATING THE IDEA
Necessary Legislative Bill Would
BE Combatted Lively By
Spencer as Well
As County

La no Medina county citizen lose
any sleep over the story that Spen-
GER township is going to be wrenched
loose and become a parcel Of a brand
new county to be formed from SINH
aar parts Of LoEain, Huron and Ash
Hand counties, with Wellington as
the capital" as is being hawked
about by certain newspapers, and i'm
dividaals who would have q personal
interest in such change.
In this regard it may be stated That
the prime agent in the movement is
James C. lMcDermott, president Of
Wellington's chamber Of commerce,
and that should his plan materialize,
the new county might possibly bear
his name.
To give the new coanty story a
measure, OF plausibility, the statement
has been given out that the proposed
action viii be brought before the
next session Of the general assembly
in the form of bill asking that the
new county be formed, and from the
southern part Of Lorain county and
neighboring territory.
McDermott has been quoted las
saying that the sentiment of .the
people of Spencer had been sounded
and found to be very favorable. AS
matter-of fact number Of Spen-
GERS most prominent citizens openly
avow disfavor to any such idea and
can be counted upon to combat il
whenever, if ever, it gets further
along than the varaons .yearnipg of
the nominal coterie who. are at pres.
ent sponsoring it.
The principal reason given for the
proposed new county is chat Lorain's
county eeat is too far away and that
the conntg officials have not given
that section Of the osaanty the ,prqper
confederation in road iinprnHements.

Valley City, Brunswick, Strongs-
vile Visited, But
Little Gain
SIMILAR ATTACK MADE
A FEW WEEKS AGO
One Robber Was Shot in Gun
Fight With Strongsville
Nightwatch, But
Escaped

Burglars were active at Valley City,
Brunswick and Strongsville last Mon
day night and early Tuesday morning.
They got but little loot in the two
former places, but secured money and
other valuables totalling over a hun
dred dollars in Strongsville, and one
member of the gang was shot while
making his escape, by Strongsville's
nightwatch.
Four strangers were seen in front
of Ridlingmeyer's restaurant at VAL
ley City about IL o'clock Monday
night with Ford car. Three of the
men entered the restaurant while the
fourth remained outside.
An hour later Mr.. Schaffer, watch
man at the B. H.. L. elevator across
from the B. & O. station, while get
ting "a drink of water near the sta
ton, noticed that the shades were
drawn, which excited his suspicion, al
though he heard no sounds from with
in. In the morning it was found that
the combination to the safe had been
knocked off, the door forced open and
papers thrown about. There was no
money in the safe.
At Brunswick the robbers entered
Budd Sanford's garage and took only
q fashlight. They also broke into
the school house, where some candy
was their only reward.
At Strongsville entrance was MADE
to Carl Howe's store Here the men
got about $40 in money, several
watches and other articles, the total
value Of which is placed by Mr. Howe
at about SIPS. AS the burglars emerg-
ed from the store they were observed
by the nightwatchman, who fired his
sun AT them. They got away, but a
trail OF blood was found several feet
away from where the mems machine
was standing when they mounted it
and escaped.
A finger print expert from Akron
came to Valley City on Tuesday and
took pictures of several distinct prints
tounds on the window sill of the B.
& 0. depot, left BY one or more of
the men as they climbed into the
building.
Sheriff Bigelow was called, but of
coaSse oolate to be of any assistance.

POOR STOCK LOSSES .
IN COUNTY $219,5O0

Estimates made thru figures issued
by the bureau of blue sky operations
under the state department of COM
merce indicate that approximately
$219,50O has been lost by the people
OF Medina county in the last three
years in worthless stocks. Ir other
words this gigantic fortune was
filched from the people of this COM
munity thru the promises of large re-
turns by the way of high interest
rates.
How much better had this money
been placed with local institutions of
recognized safety for saving. The
money would not only still belong to
its rightful owners but it would be
working right here at home ard
bringing return to tho entire COM
munity.
The $219,500 lost by the people of
this county has gone down the sewer
of economic waste right under our
noses. In this time of abnormalities
it would make difference if that
money were safe within our confines
now. If that money were in our
savings institutions there would be
less likelihood of demand upon chari-
ties this winter, less discomfort and
better business conditions.
Women-more especially widows
are the natural prey for fake stock
statesmen, the report states.
