" Willis Kindig is the possessor of a
melon patch which he has nurtured
for months with the blissful thought
that at harvest time he would be able
to ; garner ; copious . chunks - of the
Realm's coin. As ' the luscious fruit
began to ripen, the salivary glands of
most folk became correspondingly ac
tive. With most . of these who like
melons, a natural conscientiousness
forbade an invasion of Kindig'a patch.
But there are some ' whose appetite
outweighs, their Sense of the golden
rule. Thus it. was that after repeated
incursions to the melon patch by the
unknown, Willis Kindig,' whose , acres
are a hort distance south of the vil
lage, determined to apprehend those
who were getting hi . goods, even
though he must resort to fire-arms.
Anticipating the loss of another
melon, Sunday night Kindig anchored
himself within fireing distance of
any invader and ' waited. ' Presently
there appeared the skulking presence
of a bunianf form. Then another. As
they prostrated themselves to pluck
a melon, Kindig it. iff said, emitted a
lusty-cry ef warning; at the same
time discharging his gun in the., air.
Dropping the melon and wild with
fear, the intruders took to their heels
whereupn Kindig let go another load,
stray shots of which found lodgment
in the facs of one and in the leg of
the other, .v.. y (1;5';'.'. V.--With
a cry- of pain both threw up
their hands and surrendered. ' The
couple were Bay Schamp and his wife.
When picked up both were bleed
ing profusely and Kindig took them
iato - his home and dressed the
wounds, later conveying them to their
domicile in a neighbring forest
Subsequently they were r arrested
and lodged in the county jail. They
had a hearing before Probate Judge
' Kennaja Tuesday afternoon,; charged
with f petit larceny. They confessed
to cnfiscatuig a lonej melonVK Theyl
were represented by Attorney Geo,

fine of $5 and costs upon Ray along'
with a jail, sentence of five days, and

Medina Schools
Are Up-to-date
When a representative from the
Sentinel showed Supt. Edmund an
article in the Akron Beacon Journal
"relative to the new and higher stand
ards of efficiency in the High schools
' of the state, the latter did not appear
to be much' agitated over the matter
and replied that all of the demands
made by the department on high
' schools of the State had been complied
with here quite a While ago.
, To quote .from Supt Edmund's
statement: "The agricultural require-
"ments relative to at least a half unit
'of real agriculture in every village
high school has been gone one better
with us; in that Medina High School
offers a course of a full year; and we
claim that it is a good and practical
course, worth the 'money. For in
stance, stock' judging is one of our
specialties. The new county normal
school requires this unit of work;
although we have had it tyr a year,
and all our equipment is rated by the
State Department as excellent ,
"The plans submitted to the Depart
ment relative to our new Domestic
Science laboratory were pronounced
0. K. in every way and we naturally
feel gratified that these new stand'
ards as well as chemistry and physics
are in , a measure' what the Board of
Education here has anticipated in the
past f
The new Normal Department opens
Monday and makes it possible for any
student to take1 a, year of normal
training in Medina High, School with
out the expense of a year spent at
some college of the State. This train
ing is required under the new law.
"The credits granted by the High
School Normal Schools will be ac
, cepted on their par value at all the
normal schools and probably in
some other, deparmentg of the col
leges Practical teaching will be pro
vided and everything possible will be

The shooting occured in Novack's
house. Funeak reeled ! out , of the
building with a bullet in his, left
temple, one in his jaw and a third
in his chest, and fell unconscious in
the roadway. He died a few minutes
later." 1
The sound of th shots was heard
in the depot where Art Steele, Erie
brakeman, Joseph Harris Erie sta
tion employe Leroy Nichols, painter,
and Will Gallentine, laborer, were

Six months ago when the friends of
the Warnes law said that it was the
best taxation law ever placed upon the
statute books, they were laughed at.
Today, as was predicted at that time,
the. laugh is on the other side, and the
law has proven its worth. Millions of
dollars have been added to the dupli?,
cate in the state and the tax rate has
been cut in nearly every taxing dis
trict in Ohio. This added wealth did
not come from the country, districts,,
but from the cities where it was hid
den by the tax dodgers. For instance,
in 1909 the personal duplicate in Ham
ilton county was $2,484,026, while in.
1914 the "appointed" asBesors dug up
the sum of $28,734,703. '
Tn"l913 the "elected" - assessor 'in
Portage county could only find $23,700
that belonged to Dan R, Hanna, and in
1914 Hanna wanted to return only the
sum of $16,705,' but when the Warnes
law assessors got after him he admit
ted his "mistake" and returned
$1,279,000. Some gain, that.
These are only two instances out of
hundreds. Yet, with every tax-dodg
er in Ohio fighting the law, it is do
ing more than was claimed for it The
"appointed" assessors did more in one
year to help out the rural tax-payers
than the "elected" assessors did in
fifty years. ' '

WHITACRE GARBER, ET At-
(Marion Tribune.)
Congressman Whltacre, Boas Har
vey Garber and the few other dis
gruntled Democrats who, with many
frills and nourishes announce that
they are to start the anti-Cox move
ment In full swing, will have mighty
few followers among Ohio's Democ
racy. The political deserters feel that the
votes cast against Cox in the primary
will ' rush blindly to the Whltacre
standard and that they will vote the
way the Whitacre-Garber outfit de
cides. To thinking men the outfit is
amusing rather than alarming.,
Governor Cox Is coming steadily
and surely into his own. Last spring
one-half of Ohio did not understand
his measures and their value to Ohio
and they opposed both them and their
author. Since then they have begun
to Bee the light. The change has been
remarkable and It Is still going on.
Let us predict that by the time No
vember comes Governor Cox will be
elected by a large plurality because
thinking men in Ohio of all parties
will not be blinded by an enemy
whose only effort to win its way back
to the pie counter has been through
assault on the governor and his poli
cies... Before the Republican party can
hope to come back in Ohio or in the
nation it must show the voter some
thing that looks better than what the
Democrats have offered; it must be
something , new, something ahead.
There will be no step backwards in
the cause of man. - Standpatism is
dead and gone. ' : '
, Democracy has given the people a
desire for a new order of things ar
henceforth the ballot. will not be cast
to destroy that big point gained and
bring back the rule of closely allied
big business' and bosses and disregard
of the. will of. the. folks back home.
Cox will win In Ohio because he has
done what the people put him there
to do; the Republican party lost be
cause it promised to do as commis
sioned by the people and then forgot
that sacred trust. And the public has
not forgotten. L? '-.' '.; .. ' '

The community was aroused again
by the alarm o fire last Friday after
noon when it became known that the
barn of W. E. Bowman on North
Friendship street was being destroy
ed. The building was a mass of
flames when the fire was discovered.
An alarm, was at once turned in and
the volunteer department responded
with creditable alacrity. But owing
to a light water foree and the start
that the flames had, nothing could
be done other than to safeguard the
adjacent dwellings. No one is able
to determine how the building was ignited.
Besides the barn, which contained
considerable hay and grain, there was
destroyed one horse belonging to
Robert Bowman. Another horse was
saved before the flames made en
trance impossible.
The loss is estimated at about
$1,000, which is partially covered by
insurance.
, 8TILL MORE STRADDLE.
Still maintaining the straddle, on
the liquor question is the "frank" edi
torial in the University Herald, . at
Ada, which represents the sentiments
of Hon. Frank Willis, Republican can
didate for governor. .This editorial,
which is reproduced here in full, is
the basiB by which Mr. Willis may
hold the "dry" vote in line, while his
workers may at the same time corral
the "wet" vote. Following is the full
text of the editorial;
"A good many people are dissatis
fied with the Republican platform.
Before they express their dissatisfac
tion and act accordingly they need to
consider a few things. ' Willis may
have his preference In some thing?
but is not all powerful In spiking
down the planks of the platform.
Consider that. The advance of condi
tions that will raise the grand, old
Buckeye state to higher levels must
be made by the masses. A few scat
tered columns cannot do It. The peo
pie can do It if they will. Opportunity
will offer on the third of November,
and it is up to the people to declare
and to demand that no "backward
step-in essential law making 'be
alen. If the people declare for bet
tei law, theyjnay rest assured that
If Willlr IS governor those laws will

how can he serve the "dry" people if
elected? If the "wet" Republican
managers couldn't hold Willis down
in explanation of the platform, how
can they hold him down If he should
be elected? In other word It is a
case of the Good Lord and the good
devil. Or it might be expressed as
"heads I win; tails you lose." Which?
PRETTY GOOD SENSE.
(Ottawa County Republican.)
Whatever else may be said of the
Cox administration, the fact remains
that it has wrought some startling
changes in the matter of tax collec
tions in every section of the state.
Millions upon millions of valuation
have been uncovered by the new or
der of things and made to pay its just
Bhare of the burdens of maintaining
the institutions of the state.' Here in
Ottawa county the assessors appoint
ed by the tax commission have uncov
ered, brought to light and added tc
the duplicate the enormous sum of
$2,133,295, while the tax commission
er, Mr. Mylander, has added $1,133,
000. Under the old order of things
this immense sum would have escaped
paying taxes at all. Under the old or
der of things an assessor who even
ittempted to do his duty in an honest
and fearless manner was a marked
man. He never' held office again. The
rich tax dodgers saw to that.
On general principles, we think the
Democrats ought to be kicked out of
office a soon as possible and those
kept out; this is the result of our
wonderful political system. But when
the Republicans get back In power, if
they care to act the part of wisdom
they will be mighty slow to undo some
of the things the present administra
tion has done- This sort of talk may
not be good Republicanism, but we
leave it to the average small taxpayer
of all parties If it isn't good sense.

Thursday morning 143 male citi
zens of Medina village and surround
ing townships, principally from the
former, were light-heartedly reminis
cent over their trip to Toledo, under
the auspices of the Medina Board of
Trade, on Wednesday.
It required two special cars to con
vey thp party, which left here at
6:30 Wednesday morning over the C.
& S., arriving in Toledo at 11:30. A
representative from the Merchants'
Committee of Toledo met the local
delegation and escorted them to the
headquarters of the committee. Here
our people secured their luncheon.
Immediately after luncheon they were
given the choice of entertainment of
a trip through the Overland auto
mobile factory, a theater, and the art
museum. Each attraction lonW
good to some and the afternon was
spent accordingly. Autos in abund
ance were at hand to takfe any or all
throughout the city.
, A happy feature of t!he trio was
the presence of the Medina band.
which enlivened the hours of transit
in a manner which is still being
praised.
At 5:30 the visitors were reassem
bled at the hall of the Chamber of
Commerce, where a banquet Vas in
waiting, which for toothsomeness and
sufficiency we respectfully refer our
readers to any one of a dozen or
more of our heavier business men,
who were there and who became wild
eyed at the sight of the "springers".
It is understood that a camel can
go two weeks without a drink. Elyria
and Norkalk were the only oases ob
served en route to Toledo.
At the close of the banquet, short
addresses were made by the hosts,
responded to by E. R. Root and
Attorneys J. W. Seymour and Aldrich
Underwood, all of Medina.
A special feature of the banquet
wtfs the singing of a song, entitled
"Ohio," specially written for ,the oc
casion and sang to the familiar air of
"Old Black joe." Souvenirs were dis
tributed in the form of a prospectus
of Toledo, and choice Havana cigars

evidence at every angle of the trip.
