ParI01eting Sttirday Night BusiAess of the most vital impor tance detains Congressman E. , R. Bathrick at his post in Washington. His private secretary, Mr. Fisher, with Judge Roberts and Ahem and several others were here on Tuesday to arrange for a big park meeting in Medina, at which time it was expected that Mr. Bathrick would be present. A telegram to the Sentinel from Mr. Bathrick Thursday afternoon con veys the information that it is simply imnossible for him to get away with out being recreant to his duty. With the consideration of the post office bill on, a labor legislation conference, reports front the European situation under discussion in the House, and the fact that he is flooded with re quests for help from constituents who are worried about friends in Europe, necessarily detains him in Washing ton. ::',:':';.,;:::,::' However, Judges Samuel Rogers and Ahern with several other repre sentative Democratic speakers, . will make adresses from- the pavilion in the park concerning the congression al situation and the Sentinel urges that as many as possible turn out to this meeting. WEHR-NYE CASE DECIDED The caBe of Abraham Wehr vs. Ma donna Nye, which has been in the 'courts for some months, was decided Tuesday before Judge Doyle in Com mon Pleas Court. As our readers know this was ; an important action for money, wherein the plaintiff sued de fendant for $465.56; $100 on a note, $173 borrowed money without note, and $153 for labor. The case came to trial on April 28, the jury award ing plaintiff $345.05.. A motion for a new trial and to have the findings of the jury set aside as not being in ac cord with the evidence was made and it was upon this that Judge Doyle rendered a decision on Tuesday. In his decision Judge Doyle gave as his opinion that the jury award was more than. the evidence warranted. That while there was sufficient evidence to nhow the validity of the note and the account, there was considerable doubt regarding the claim for labor. There upon he ordered remitted $50.58, as the nrobable amount which the jury had estimated for labor in arriving at their findings, leaving a balance lor piainun oi $z4.4. .. v MILKY-WAY THREATENED - As the soulful-eyed Venetian lover siehs and twanes his bew-tch- tnpnt from the tmitar.. so a bunch of barbers last Monday night sought tne neaceful homes of Fred Jtoons and Flovd Pealton ; and : to the . dulcet ' strains of cowbells, log cnains, bum-1 , bazines and the velvet toned n iorse .fiddle1, i:'" amused.

But in Fred's case or course mere isn i much to be said. However both re sponded to demands tot speeches, as well as for refreshments, although some were so ruthless as to invade the sanctity of Fred's milk cans and threaten he and his bride with a wagon ride around the town. Both did what was right and finally were re leased from custody. IDLE RUMOR, SAYS ROOT A rumor which has gained more or less currency during the past few days that the A. I. Root Co., -would soon shut down indefinitely on iso count of the turbulence in Eifope which would curtail their large for eign trade, is without any foundation in fact, according to astatement made to the editor of the Sentinel Thurs day morning by Mr. E. R. Root The latter also Btated that while the com pany enjoyed a, certain foreign trade, ft was by no means enormous, and that the only way the company would likely to feel the war would ho that it mieht hold up money that " is due; them from abroad. In any event the company insists that no one need have any fears of its shutting down thft nlant. as they have no intention of or fears that It will be necessary to do so. . v,v, ARRANGED FOR THEFT ' One of the most painful subjects with which a newspaper man has to deal is the chronicling of the mis demeanors of youth. A case in point was the arrest a few days ago of Raymond Morgan for the theft of $3.00 from the school building during ' a ball game on the - local grounds, Whilo there were no witnesoes to the theft, young Morgan was suspected - and when, arrested confessed. The boy has served a sentence at the Lan caster home for 'ft similar offense. rfL - - i - J 1,.aa TKMVi'niA IvtArr-A Kennan on Tuesday sentence was de ferred until the Judge can receive word from Lancaster as to whether the boy is on parole'. Meanwhile he was committed to the care of ., his father pending word from Lancaster, and is to report to the sheriff daily. SHERIFF STOPS PIN POOL While enjoying, the K. of P. jollifl cation at Chippewa, Thursday, Sheriff Young observed a man manipulating a pin pool game, ' in disobcyance ; of legal . statute. . Whereupon ' Sheriff Young took him into custody. ' Fri- day the violator, who gave his name as Chas. Rogers, was fined' $P and oats, the latter of wheh amounted to Second only in point of excitement attending the erection of a circus tent was the hoisting of the monster Chau tauqua canvass on the school commons the fore part of the week But there is a vast difference between the riff raff who make up the personel of the former class of tent crew and the vig orous and ambitious young gentlemen who were here this week pitching the Chautauqua wigwam. , Great interest has accumulated Jn the coming to Medina for the first time of a Chautauqua. ! Some har bored misgivings as to the possibility of disposing of sufficient number of season tickets to avoid a deficit. But there was np trouble encountered in securing the names of enough of our business and professional townsmen as a guarantee to the . Chautauqua movement Then the women got busy selling tickets and f he way they have been making that big pointer move around on the indicator is weil cal culated 'o make one sit up and take notice, i It was necessary to sell 750 tickets. This feat was accomplished before the beginning of the firot con cert on Tuesday afternoon. , Promptly at 3 o clock eastern time Wednesday afternoon the Ziegler Howe Orchestral Club made their in itial bow to a Medina audience. The organization consists of Franc Zieg ler, violin; Chas. T. Howe, flute and piccolo, Ferdinand Gardner, -cello, and Mabel Abbott, piano. The rep ertoire includes overtures, descriptive numbers, burlesques, grand opera se lections, comic opera, entre acts and suites. One of the" chief numbers Wed nesday afternoon was the rendition of the Misererie" from II Trovatore, a striking and realistic effect , being gained by the 'cello carrying its part in the famous duet at a distance, and at times in its upper register almost approaching the human voice. The work of Mabel Abbot was excellent. Following the orchestral club was the lecture by Dr. Ernest Wray O Neal, "Popular Fallaciep." The lec ture was a good, one, semi-humorous and was greatly appreciated by the large audience. ; In- the evening; the Ziegler Howe Co., appeared again and each member excepting the pianist, appeared in solo work. All are undoubted artists and their work was received with favor. The flutist, Mr. Howe, is a son of the late historian, Henry Howe, the lat ter whom the editor , of the Sentinel often met and became well acquainted with in this early 90s, when the . ven erable writer was making his second and last tour of Ohio. Charles R. Taggart, ' "The Man from Vermont," m character imper sonations, divided honors of , the even ing with, the concert company. Mr, Taggaft's impersonations, his ventril oguigin, playing of the, violin' and Eiano. ew.,' were ait urst. ciass umi is versatility was nothing short of remarkable. " The sudden sagging of the top of the tent during the latter's entertainment caused a momentary nutter in the audience, but was quick- y quieted. : j Prof. Hardy lectured Thursday morning. In the afternoon the Col egian Male Quartet gave a concert that established them as one of the best male quartets f of the country, This was followed by an interpretive recital of "Peg o' My Heart," by Mary Agnes Doyle. Then the children's hour conducted by Mrs. Kuhn. Thursday night there was another concert by the quartet, followed by a ecture, "On the Trail of the Immi grant," by Dr. Edward A. Steiner. , WEBBER REUNION The Webber reunion was held July 31, 1914, at the home of W. E. Cace on Vme street.- There were 87 pres ent. Those from outside Medina County were Judge A. R.

Iii the State of Ohio there many ittle children , who for various , rea sons have been dereft of parents. hey have an unspeakable heart- hvnger for that parental love and sympathy which cannot be found in an orphanage. . Many of the best citizens of Ohio have a great longing for the affection and love of a promising child, be cause they are childless. The Board of State Charities, through its Children's Welfare De partment, is seeking to bring them together. , :', , .. Under the new Children's Code, the uvenne uun Judges are permitted ; to commit dependent children direct ; to the Board of State Charities. It is probable that most of the children thus committed will be sent from counties where there is no local chil dren's institution. In addition to the children commit ted direct to the Board of State Char ities, some of the County Children's Homes .have requested the Board to assist in securing suitable family homes for such of their children as are orphaned or for other reasons cannot be returned to their own parents. . The Board of State Charities has arranged to have every child upon reception given a thorough physical and mental examination. It is also making an effort to secure an1 exten sive family history, in order that it may be determined, as far as possible, that the child to be placed in the fam ily home is mentally and physically normal. Any person interested in - taking into his home one of these children is requested to communicate with the Ohio Board, of State Charities, Chil dren's Welfare Department, Colum bus.

This is the sixth time in 17 years that the postoffice has been robbed, the greatest loss ocurring when the safe was blown. A little later the same night rob bers entered the office of the Seville Milling Co., through a window and several dollars in change and took a good revolver.

No work will be done until this is guaranteed by the council. Architect Robinson is expected here next Tuesday to confer with the board of trade. As the council will be in session Tuesday night it is likely that Mr. Robinson will be present at their meeting also. It is understood that a protest will be registered by certain residents against the proposed ex tension, not because of their unwill ingness for the improvement in its self, but because of what they regard as an inequality in the amount of as sessment per foot frontage. When the present sewer system was installed the village bore from 28 to 33 per cent of the entire cost. In the present pro posed extension council has legislated one-fiftieth per cent as the village's portion of the cost. The contention of those who will protest next Tues day night will be that they should be required to pay no greater per cent age than was exacted from property owners when the original plant was installed.

After August 81 they will be at home in San Antonio Heights, Calif. That an improved road will in aflv fcliA nroductiveness of ithe area through which it runs has - i- now been satisfactorily demonstrated by studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture in Virginia. Conditions in Spotsylvania County were investigated with par ticular care, and the results have proved surprising. In 1909 the county voted $100,000 to improve 48 miles of roads. Two years after the completion of this, work the railroad took away in 12 months from Fred ericksburg, the county seat, 71,000 tons of agricultural and forest pro ducts hauled over the highways to that town. Before the improvement of the roads this total was only49,000 tons annually; in other words, the quantity of the county's produce had risen more than 45 per cent. Still mere interesting, however, is the in creass shown in the quantity of dairy products. In 1909 these amounted to 114,815 pounds, in 1911 to 273,028 pounds, an increase of practically 148 per cent in two years. In the same time shipments of wheat had increas ed 59 per cent, tobacco 31 per cent, and lumber and other forest products 48 per cent. In addition to this increase In quan tity the cost of hauling each ton of produce was materially reduced. In other words, the farmers not onlypro- duce more, but produce more cheaply for the cost of transportation to mar ket is of course an important factor in the cost of production. From this point of view, it is estimated thdt ithe $100,000 spent in improving the roads, in Spotsylvania County saved the farmers of the county $41,000 a year. In the past two years the traffic studies of the Federal experts show that approximately an average of 65,000 tons of outgoing products were hauled over the improved roads in the county an average distance of 8 miles, or a total of 520,000 "ton-miles." Be fore the roads were improved it was estimated that the average cost of hauling was 20 cents a "ton-mile," after the improvement this fell to 12 cents a "ton-mile," or a saving of 8 cents. A saving of 8 cents per mile on 520,000 "ton-miles" is $41,000 a year. The countie's investment of $100,000 in other words .returned a dividend of 40 per cent annually. this character, does not take the form of cash put directly into the farmer' pocket there is a widespread tendency to believe that it is fictitious profit, while as a matter of fact it is just as real a source of profit as an increase in the price cf wheat In Dinwiddle County, W. Va., for example, where peanuts are orf? of the staple crops, the average load for two mules on a main road was about 1,000 pounds before the ro?.d was im proved. After its improvement the average load was found to be 2,000 pounds, and the time consumed in hauling the larger load to market was much reduced. In other words, one man with a wagon and two 'mules could do more than twice as much work with the improved road than with an unimproved road. f Thi3 is the explanation of the extraordinary rise in the total output of agricultural products in a county with a good road system.
