Probably ' no political. , campaign; !
primary or otherwise, was ever,, con
ducted in Medina county before' with
so little enthusiasm, as the one which
ended Monday night. Even the candi
dates themselves, at least those for
county offices, have for the most part
done but little electioneering other
than by newspaper, letter and card.
Even the newspapers have been rather
dormant in discussing the campaign.
However, a nomination is not an elec
tion and it is likely that there will be
something doing between now and
November. - '
The candidates on the various tick
1 efs for county office are well-known
men, and "almost any combination
would have made acceptable pub
lic servants had they received the
nomination and later had been elected
but we have space only to deal with
those names which were successful
in the primary election and the total
results in the county are herewith
given; beginning with the state tick

IN WRONG THRU DECIMALS
In our editorial on the tax law last
week unnder the caption "Reflect Up
on This," the accidental misplace
ment of the point in some of the fig
ures we gave made us in error. The
figures were -correct, but the point
found its way into the wrong place.
For instance, the types were made to
read that the duplicate had been in
creased to 422,343.65, whereas it
should have been 42,234,365.00. How
ever, the figures and the pointing in
the amount of increase were correct.
The same error crept in in giving the
duplicate for last year. , The amount
read $401,709.00, when it should have
been $40,170,900.00. While it is
probable that most of our readers
recognized the misplacement of the
decimal - point, nevertheless, the
Warnes law and its working have
been so persistently knocked by its
opponents that we. wish to be placed
on record in an exact way, thus th
correction.
WANT INTER-COUNTY ROAD
For some time there has been a
movement for an inter-county road
through Liverpool township. Several
months ago the matter was discussed
considerable, but of late . not mucn will pieased to meet with the coun
has been heard about it However, cii anv time that can be found con-
the county commissioners have assur
ed the people of Liverpool that they
are entitled to such a road and that
they will do all within theirpowerto
assist the trustees in securing it.
The trustees find thatthepopulatiori
of the township is divided as regards
the location of this road; some tax
payers want the Center-road (North
and South),' while others prefer the
so-called Moehle-road ' (Lester to
Valley City.)
A town meeting was called by the
trustees last. Friday evening to de
termine which road might be the
choice of the majority. .; Many, how
ever, did not learn of the meeting, so
that less than eighty men were pres
ent, a proportion far too small to be
representative of the township at
large. '! No final action was taken ex
cept that it waa decided by secret bal
lot to leave the selection of the road
to 'the voters at. the next regular
election. , . '

Atfer the bills had been paid a
resolution was presented to author

against the village by the Medina
County National Bank for $250 re

of a chemical engine some time ago
and the other was for the installing
of a. settling tank at the north dis
posal plant The resolution was im
mediately passed.
Two communications rrom the man

were read by Clerk McNeal. The
first gave the statement that the
Clerk's first letter had been mislaid.
Simultaneous with McNeal's sec
ond letter to the railroad manage
ment the latter's attention had been
directed to an article in the Sentinel
stating that McNeal had never re
ceived any reply. ; The latter's letter
had been written with a view to pre

fix up the pavement along side of
their tranfcs on North Court . street

An ordinance covering in detail the
question of water, gas and sewer ex

Operation Fatal
ilO DOCtOr WOOU
? '
A great many Medina people will
regret to learn of the death of Dr. W.
I. Wood, a former resident of , this
'place, later of Massillon and recently
of Seville, which occurred at ! German
Hnttl. TWInnrf fnllnwW t, on.
eration for appendicitis. Dr. Wood
located in Seville only a lew months
ago, coming from Massillon. His ill
ness was of short duration.
The body was brought to Medina,

them were born two children, Rae
Boswell, of Medina, and Franlc Leland

Only a short tane ago he fitted up
an office in Seville and again had
entered upon the practice of his pro
fession, but an attack of appendicitis,
for which he was operated upon in the
German Hospital, Cleveland, termin
ated a very useful career.

Chautauqua
to Come Again
When the Edwin R. Weeks Co.
finished their entertainment Tuesday
night there closed Medina's first
Chautauqua season. To say that the
season has been 'a success, both , ar
tistically and financially, is only stat
ing the facts. Artistically, the en
tertainments have been all that could
desired. The lectures were interest
ing and instructive and delivered by
able and well-known men. Finan
cially what was predicted by many
would prove a deficit, instead season
closed with a substantial profit-
As is well known tne Medina Im
provement Association was the pro
moter of the local Chautauqua. Had
it not been for their unremitting ef
I forts there would have been a deficit
It is no easy task to sell 750 sea
son tickets at $2.00 each. If you
thing it is, try it some time. Never
theless this energetic association
turned the trick and should and of
course does have theprofound thanks
of all those who were fortunate
enough to attend the various attrac
tions.
In our issue of last week we gave
suitable mention of the daily pro
grams up and including Thursday
even'ng.
Friday morning Clarion D. Harvey
gave his interpretation of the famous
drama, "The Fourth Estate." This is
one of three interpretations of drama
that Prof. Hardy delivers, the other
two being "The Certain Rich Man"
and "The Servant in the House." The
latter two were delivered respectively
on Saturday and Monday mornings.
Friday afternoon the Kickbush
Reuter Co. gave a muscal recital oi
high class. Following, this was the
lecture by Tahan on "Things I Saw
and Did as a Savage." Tahan related
experiences that were well calculated
to make the hair stand on end and

kind.
Friday evening the Klcklush-Reut-

followed by the Ben Greet players in

and these celebrated players brought
to the local Chautauqua an entertain
ment of great merit.
Saturday mornlhg was the lecture
by Prof. Hardy. In the afternoon
the Oratorio Artists gave their con
cert These singers rank among the
best in their profession and their
singing here maintained their high
reputation. The singers were follow
ed by a lecture by Clifford G. Roe, en
titled "The New Moral Awakening."
The lecture dealt with the white slave
traffic and Mr. Roe is acknowledged
one of the foremost workers in the
movement to put an end to it The
evening session consisted of another
entertainment by the Oratorio Ar
tists. Great expectation had been evinced
for the entertainments of Sunday by
Furullo and his band, and it must be
said that this big musical aggrega
tion fulfilled in every way all that
Was predicted for it Furullo is an
able leader and his men responded to
his baton as a unit. The programs
both afternoon and evening were care
fully selected, heavy and light num
bers alternating in such a manner as
to suit all tastes. Furullo directed
both concerts without score
Monday morning Trof. Hardy .de
livered his third and last interpreta
tion of drama, "The Servant in the
House." The muscal Novelty Enter
tainers divided attention in the after
noon with Dr. Harvey W. Wiley. The
latter gave his famous lecture on
"The Public Health Our Greatest
National Asset" In the evening the
Novelty Entertainers gave another
entertainment, followed by the
Floyd'B in feats of mind-reading and
legerdemain.

run down and killed Friday evening
by a northbound Cleveland & South
western interurban car when he at
tempted to cross the street His body
was thrown fifty feet, death, doctors

School News
by Prof. Leahy
Pursuant to a call from the State
school commissioner, the 88 county
superintendents of Ohio met in the
House of Representatives, (Jolumbus,
to discuss the new school laws.
Mr. Miller, the superintendent of
public instruction of the State, con
gratulated the county superintendents
on their splendid opportunities for
the improvement oi" the rural schools.
There is much hard work to be done
in. order to accomplish the best re
sults. Agriculture must be taught
and domestic science encouraged. The
aim of the law is to bring active, effec
tive supervision to the rural schools
as well as to the city schools. This
Bhould have been done long ago. The
country has been neglected, the cities
overcrowded. Back to the country
with all of its natural charms. Let
us learn how to make the best use of
the soil, the source of all earthly
wealth.
The country toy s creed: We came
upon it first in Greenwood, Miss.,
Commonwealth. But no source was
given. We traced it, however, to its
publication in the Progressive Farm
er of Mephis, Tenn. That is as far as
we have got, although a query to that
paper brings the information that
very likely the "Creed" was first used
by a boy's corn club in Virgnia and
was later adopted by all the boys'
corn clubs in that state. It would
give us real pleasure to learn where
and how this expressive statement of
an ideal crystallized into words. Per
haphs by this time you are curious to
read it for yourself:
"I believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that the life
out of doors and in touch with the
earth is the natural life of man. I
believe that work with nature is more
inspiring than work wi$h the most in-
trfcate wachmery: i believe that. the'
dignity .of labor depends not on what
you do, but how you do it; that op
portunity comes to the boy on ' the
farm as often as to a boy in the city;
that life is larger and freerer and
happier on the farm than in the town;
that life depends not upon location,
but upon myself; not upon my dreams
but upon what I actually do; not up
on luck, but upon pluck. I believe in
working when you work, and in play
ing when you play, and in giving and
demanding a square deal in every act
oflife."
"Iron sharpeneth Iron." Who knows
a more successful phrasing of the sit
uation which the country needs thru
all its length and breadth? Collier's
Weekley.

- THIS JERSEY SOME COW
Our esteemed friend, Mr. I. R.
Boyer, is responsible for the assertion
that he has a Jersey cow. from which
he has made $98.46 in one season.
Here is the explanation: , , .
Smearcase, 330 quarts, $47:17; 754
gals, buttermilk, $11.25; 89 lbs. of
butter, $28.04; one calf less than a
week old which he sold for $12.00;
total, $98.46. Besides all this . . the
family which consists of three adults,
have used all that was needed for
food. Incidentally it may be stated
that Mrs. Boyer haa pitted and can
ned 120 quarts of cherries this sea
son with the help only of her 'son.
