THIS SUSPENSE IS AWFUL TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES HAS MEET MONDAY PLAN IMPROVEMENTS ON ROAD8 OF THIS VICINITY—CINDERS USED FOR PART. TOO WARM-THIS WILL COOL YOU AMHERST COLD STORAGE DOE8 LAROE BUSINESS IN PRE- t I SERVING FOODS, On visiting the Amherst Gold Storage plant recently a reporter of this paper found very much to his surprise a large and well equipped plant. Many people In Amherst do not realize what tha Cold Storage company really is and there are some, too, wbjo do not •van know there la one. This company la one that Amherst should be proud of. In the beginning the building waa only about half the size It Is now and .was used only as a cold storage and business was not carried on on such a large scale; A few years ago, however, an ice plant was built in connection and slncu that time the company has been doing a large amount of business. The cold storage part of the plant la one of the best equipped in this part of the country and la especially wall built for a town the size of Amherst. There are a large number of rooms tn which a freezing point can be obtained in a very short time and ln one room zero can be obtained. This laat mentioned room is used to keep butter in at the present time butter la being stored there from manjr places in this vicinity. The other rooms contain eggs, fresh fruits, dried fruits such as peaches, raisins, prunes aa well as lard and meats. Some of these things are stored by the local dealers while others are stored by people living near who raellze the value of this institution. The work la thla part of the plant has not been aa extensive aa Is possible for the also of the place and more business Is to be secured from now on since snople ln nearby cities are beginning tn Msllsa the worth of the local com Tha Ice plant, too, Is a wonderful thins for tbls size town. Very few towns the else of Amherst can claim a thing of this sort and Amherst can pride herself on this possession. The toe plant at the present time Is work- ins (ull capacity and always during tha summer months they have much aura call for toe than they can supply, ■onetimes they even are asked to The trustees of Amherst Township held a meeting Monday night und. many matters of interest were discussed. The main business transacted was the road situation and much progress was made toward having the roads repaired. The truatees decided that they would Improve tho town line road 1 mile south from South Ridge with cinders. The Elyria Township trustees will improve one mile which will fix the whole road up. The road has been In bad shape for some time and these Improvements will come just ln time to give the farmers an outlet to the Improved roads ln all kinds of weather. Many ot these people have automobiles and the improvement will be greatly welcomed by them. The trustees also will do a little in helping to fix up the road from Smith Corners on the Ridge Road. The farmers on this road have agreed to haul the cinders for this road and pay part of the cost ot the cinders. The trustees will pay for the rest of the cinders. It can readily be seen that the farmers on this road are doing all they can to Improve.the roads and are paying the largest1 part themselves. The North Ridge Road 1b also to be improved having needed this for some time. The road has been ln terrible condition. Although It was just improved last year It was not fixed In a substantial way and now will have to be Improved again. The county commissioners and Township Trustees will go together on this road and will Improve it with slag and bind It with tar binding. Last year when It wus Improved It was done with water binding und with the heavy truffle on the road It gave out and so necessitates a good bit of tin- provement again this year. The village of Amherst will receive only |360 from the Auto License Fund ot the state and us we can readily see this will not go far to improve our roads in this vicinity. The rest of the money collected form the local automobile owners will remain ln the State Highway Department funds and will be used aa they see fit. These improvements will benefit the people in and around Amherst very greatly, especially the farmers will have acess to both Amherst and Elyria and the roads will also bring people to Amherst who would not come if they had to travel bad roads to reach the village.

Mr. Kreeger is a valued employe of The Amherst News compuny and Mrs. Kreeger whose maiden name is Candace L. Werner was formerly an employe of the same company. Both mother and baby ure doing fine. Mrs. Kreeger's mother, Mrs. Delia Werner, arrived from Cleveland this morning for her first glimpse of her new grandchild and she, too, Is as proud as can be. But no pride can surpass that of the baby's father who seems to be unable to fix his mind on any other subject for any length ot time. • • • Upon Luty's face there wus a smile, With every step he reached a mile; A sheet of sweat upon his brow— Tbe reason why—he's papa now. help Blyria and Lorain out during the rush season, but usually have all they can do to keep Amherst supplied. During the winter, of course they do not have such a large amount of work but at this time they supply tbe small needs of local people and ln their Ice chest they store Ice for the coming warm season. The making of the Ice is a very Interesting process and many Amherst people would enjoy seeing It at work. j There are many big school problems in Ohio. Adequate revenues, Increased salaries, better buildings and equipment, more attention to health, centralization- of achools, rooming facilities for teachers, community use of the school plant, modern textbooks, curriculum* of greater service, sun ■ supervision, the development of new teachers - all these are problems for the teachers, superintendents, legislature und the public. Much Is being contributed to their solution. School revenue und Increased salaries are looming large before the public eye. And for all this and with all this the public expect more expert teching service. And this is an appeal to the terchors not to neglect to be ready mi.re ready than ever before - to rea del* such sertrices. It Is an appeal to the touchers of some and even of much experience to avail themselves of the means of making themselves more ready. And the outstanding means Is the summer school. With better salaries promised for next year the excellent summer schools of the normal colleges and colleges of Ohio should be crowded • and there should; be larger contingents from Ohio than; ever before at the great teachers colleges In other states. Not only ln method but tn subject, matter should the teachers seek Improvement. Few know history and geography as they should. Teachers need more preparation In nature study and literature. Most high school teuchers need added technical knowledge of the subjects they teach or of subjects closely related to them. All need to get big conceptions of the social possibilities of education. And then there ure music, and art, und story-telling,- und manual training, und educational and mental testa; and tho education of defectives ami speech correction—get catalogues of '.ho summer sessions of our state minimis, of Ohio State University, or of your choice of other colleges—if you do not find what you want in one 1. will be olTered in another, consider the cost, remember that salary schedules are almost certain to be built more und more on the basis of training, think of the inrcease of your usefulness that may result—and prepare lo- attend. Regular summer sessions of Ohio normals und of Ohio State university begin June 21. Maximum service and maximum preparation should be the aim of our teachers—they may then expect maximum salaries; the minimum salaries will fall to those rendering only the minimum passable service;—and with handy passable preparation. The average ot attainment of teachers la rising; the resoultion to keep above It Is wise. Let us have Ohio the state of tho best standard of teacher preparation and teacher service ln the union.

Ohio My Dear Sir: f I am In receipt ot a letter from Mori. Post Adjutant of the post of the American Legion in your city, In response to a letter of mine that I wrote him some time since after seeing an Inquiry of his in the Legion weekly regarding the death of your son. It gives me great pleasure to be able to write to you of some of the doings of your son after he was sent to my company of the glorious old 6th. at Oglethorpe and up to the time of his death and my own severe Injuries which occurred about the same time, In the hope that it may In a measure relieve some of the sadness of heart that must exist ln the hearts of his mother and yourself, as I will never ln my life forget the Joyous relief thut came to my aged parents wheS I returned to them in Junuary 10 unable to walk and get around while they had been led by government reports to believe that I was practically torn to pieces, which I had been, but thanks to very careful attention ln the hospitals, I was put together again to represent my old self in a measure tho losing one eye. When your son came to my company in the states not very long before I sailed for overseas, I was particularly attracted to tbe earnest and steady manner ln which he went about his every duty and the sincere effort that he always held himself to, in assisting his officers to keep the men in good condition and cheerfulness, and to prepare themselves .for the strenuous duties thut would face them on the other side, und this wus more particularly true of Mm after we arrived over there and were face to face with what was momentarily and continuously facing death in Its every sense. And I want to impress upon you now that be met its every phase with cheerfulness and a smile and al ways with a thought of those at home back ln the states. It will please you to know tbat your son wus actively engaged soon after his arrival overseas ln work at the front, us our regiment wus detached from the 5th Division and did'duty with the 26th during Muy, June and July und we suw a great deal of the very acute action ln the celebrated Chateau Thierry drive of the Crown Prince in his attempt to reach Paris and of which great work was done by the Marines at Belloau Woods which tyrst put the feur of God ln the hearts of the Hun. as you undoubtedly read during those days. After that we returned to our Division und did continuous duty ln the front line moving from the Lore- mount sector in the Vosges on through Lorraine into the St. Die sector and onto St. Mihlel where he was elected by the powers that be to take his last resting place along with many of his officers and commits. In the Normont sector ho was closely attached to me at all times and I was particularly attached to htm tor his fearlessness and activity, always volunteering for any hazardous duty that either I or his officers were called upon to do with a detail, and he always came back with an excellent report from them as to his steadiness and support in their undertakings, so much so that he was considered one of my most dependable men. In the action of Prappelle which our battalion took the first of German territory to full into American hands he wus u mainstay to his plutoon commander und u source of great steadiness to the men. The duy before the Frappelle action 1 distinctly remember him writing a letter home und I asked him If he was telling his .people goodbye und he suld, "no sir. I am telling them not lo worry ubout me, thut I urn all right and happy, but wish I could see them again, thut the nuns were not sear- ing him uny." Thut was the mater lal that he wus mude of uud thut evidences his cheerful disposition thut was alwuys with him even up to the morning when, ufter hiking 36 miles thut night, wo sprung Into uctlon ut day break und by eight o'clock he with 56 ot his comi'ads and his platoon commander hud mude the good light und "gone west" luking the happy route of the fighting man, who fully realized whut his fute might be ut uny minute und who went to It with cheerfulness und u smile und angels could do no more. 1 regret thut the continuity of ad- vunce and having a severe injury myself together with the loss of 4 of my officers compelled me to forego giving personal attention to the casualties, but necessitated my continuing with the advance uuttl later ln the flay when I was again badly hit (four holes) through various parts ot my body, so that I might be able to tell you the full particulars of his injuries and death. As it la I only know that his platoon BANNER WEEK AT HOSPITAL. The Amherst hospital reports having broken the record this week. The matron of the local Institution says that at the present time there are five babies In the hospital and all have been born In the last two weeks Tbls Is something that has never hap- Instltutlon und establishes another pened before In the history of the record to put with their long line of achievements. Many people here and near here think that the Amherst hospital is not taking care of many people, but for the last several months the front rooms, orlg nally Intended for an office and sun room, have been turned Into wards and the largest number of people possible accommodated there. Records show that an institution of this sort Is un absolute necessity and even a larger one could be supported, although for its size the Am- MEMORIAL PLANS SOON TO APPEAR MEETING OF REPRESENTATIVES OF ORGANIZATIONS TO BE CALLED JUNE 17TH. A meeting of the Soldier Memorial committee was held Monday evening In the town hall to talk over ways and means to carry out the campaign for finances for the purpose of building a filling memorial for the soldiers of the community. The cpramittee lo raise funds was present and with the general committee talked tbe whole situation over. It was decided to hold a meeting on Thursday evening. June 17 at the town hall with the committee from which the general committee originated—the representatives of the var- herst hospital Is second to none In I •««» organizations of the of the town equipment. SHORTHORN SALE WAS INTERESTING LOCAL MAN COPS CUP ON YOUNQ BULL—PARAGON FARM GIVES CUP. E. 0. Schibley who is secretary of the New London Shorthorn association reported on Tuesday's show and sale held in New London anil says thut It wus Indeed a greut uffulr. The sule wus held ut the furm of Hogsett & Hogsett. A lurge tent wus erected on the ground which wur 60 x 100 feet In size, but this proved inude- quate to accommodate the crowd of between 1600 und 2000 people who were In ut tendance. A calf show wus held In the morning among Ihe boys and some who are older. This association thought best not to confine their culf club activities entirely to the younger members, but to allow anyone to enter who wishes. In this show, two lurge loving cups were offered us prizes, one for the best bull calf and the other tor the best heifer. The Paragon Stock Farms of which Schibley & Schibley are the proprietors offered the cup for the champion heifer which wus won by Lawrence Kllngshlrn of Elyria with a fine young animal. The President's cup was won by Frank Schibley on un eight months old bull culf which In the sule in the afternoon was the top bull und ln fad the top animal of the sale and sold for $1075. The bull's name is Paragon Radium, named for the furm on Middle ridge on which he wus raised. The top female of the sale was w young heifer owned by Louis Haas of Bellevue. The animal Is of a dairy shorthorn strain and sold for $875. The second prize heifer which wus owned by Donuld Duy, New London, sold for $575. She Is of u show stock strain and is Indeed a tine sight to look upon. The crowd was very enthusiastic over tho way the show wus pulled off by the management. Lunch was served on the grounds. The auto parking plan proved efficient. There were between 500 and 600 uutos uud they were parked so uny one of them could be taken out ut uny time tho owner wished without interferrlng with the others. The auctioneer was Col. 11. B. Allen of Ravenna, who was assisted on the block by Col. Yerlum of London, Ohio. The ring men were Col. Lincoln of Marysvllle, Col. Frank of New Lon don and Col. Greene of Chatfleld. • These men are experts at the work and the sale wus curried thru without a hitch. Wo might mention that the top female which sold ut this sule for $875 wus sold u year ago for $265, thus the owner made a profit of $610 for his lubor, feed and care of the animal during the past year. The i.ssoclutlon hus mude u prue- tlco of buying the young uniinuls from the original owners, giving Its ! note for the amount und ln the sule | all slock is virtually the property of ; the association ultho it has remained In the hunds of the origlnul owner .ind in the sule euch man Is then at liberty lo buy back the stock ihut he raised If he wishes. The shorthorn associution is well pleased with the results of its llrst sale and Intends to organize another calf club within tbe next two or three weeks and hold another sule In Ihe near future. Mr. Schibley who Is secretary of the associution culled In the aid of the Amh'erst News company and the catalogue of the sale wus printed In their shop. The firm of Schibley & Schibley of the Paragon Stock Farms of Middle Ridge have entered the shorthorn business very thoroughly and have some very expensive cattle. The have such as the lodges, school, churches, etc. and at that meeting put up the plans that have been worked out to this more representative body of people who have not been called upon for nearly a year and a half. The committee which has done all the work thus far which we have culled the general committee has worked out tentative plans for the memorial to be built. They have estimated the cost of such a memorial. They have gone Into the subject very thoroughly, but they have not seen fit to publish their ideas until this meeting of the representative committee will huve taken place when the matter will be open tor public discussion. The meeting of the 17th will not be a mass meeting by any means. It will be a meeting of only those who were chosen to represent each organization in the village and these people will be duly notified of the coming meeting by the secretary. It Is thought that at the meeting of the 17th definite plans will be chosen by the larger body and thus the community workers will have a goal to which to work. The finance committee will soon organize the town, lay out tbe plans for campaigning and establish a quota for euch section of the community. CARD OF THANKS We wish'to thank the friends and neighbors who did so much for us In our time ot sorrow and also those who Bent the beautiful floral offerings and guve us words of comfort In our greut bereavement. MRS. WM. BRANDT MRS. JOHN APPEMAN MRS. A. C. ERHART HENRY BRANDT AUGUST BRANDT ran ln to a nasty bunch of machine gun nests und was completely wiped out. i Trusting thut this information may be a solace to you und yours und his friends, and that I huve added a pleasure to your tears for htm, I am sincerely yours, TOM C. DANIELS. SURVEY OF INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT LOCAL MINISTERS 8TATE OPINIONS OF ORGANIZED EFFORT OF CHURCHE8. Rev. A. A. Hunter. The Inter World Church Movement Is certainly a very hopeful sign of the times. When nearly all the Important churches in America unite ln the common cause of securing definite information about their task and of joining forces in its accomplishment, great results may be expected. Much will be gained when duplication of effort unit compeilltlve methods ure pervent- ed. as the splendid success of lnterde- nominaltional Institutions In missionary lunds cleurly Indicates. However, the greatest good will come lnthe higher morale of the army of the Lord. When first things ure put first the united forces will move forward to meet the needs of the weary, distressed world in the spirit ot Him who came lo reveal Cod to man. By Rev. M. Neumeister. The Interchurch World Movement Is organized Christianity on a large scale. Over thirty Evangelical denominotlons with a membership of over 15,000,000 representing 71 per cent of the prot- estunts of the United States are cooperating. If each denomination represented will carry out the program of the Interchurch there will be a forwurd movement ull along the line, greutly benefiting the church und the world. However, we must acknowledge tbe (SOt that orgunlzation and machinery in themselves ure powerless and Ineffective, nor cun the wheels ot this greut organization be turned by man power alone. We are dependent upon the power of God's spirit for success, "Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, suith the Lord of hosts." one of the best herd sires In the state und Just had the pleasure of refusing uu offer of $25,000 for him recently. The firm consists of E. C. Schibley and Frank Schibley, sons of Oeorge Schibley and we judge by the company they keep In their work of raising better cattle and the results of the recent show und sale that they are well able to compete with the best in this business and they seem to be able to choose a good animal for their purposes. •v. 1 Ai«Vi,,*ikja B.-A-

The truatees decided that they would Improve tho town line road 1 mile south from South Ridge with cinders. The Elyria Township trustees will improve one mile which will fix the whole road up. The road has been In bad shape for some time and these Improvements will come just ln time to give the farmers an outlet to the Improved roads ln all kinds of weather. Many ot these people have automobiles and the improvement will be greatly welcomed by them. The trustees also will do a little in helping to fix up the road from Smith Corners on the Ridge Road. The farmers on this road have agreed to haul the cinders for this road and pay part of the cost ot the cinders. The trustees will pay for the rest of the cinders. It can readily be seen that the farmers on this road are doing all they can to Improve.the roads and are paying the largest1 part themselves. The North Ridge Road 1b also to be improved having needed this for some time. The road has been ln terrible condition. Although It was just improved last year It was not fixed In a substantial way and now will have to be Improved again. The county commissioners and Township Trustees will go together on this road and will Improve it with slag and bind It with tar binding. Last year when It wus Improved It was done with water binding und with the heavy truffle on the road It gave out and so necessitates a good bit of tin- provement again this year. The village of Amherst will receive only |360 from the Auto License Fund ot the state and us we can readily see this will not go far to improve our roads in this vicinity. The rest of the money collected form the local automobile owners will remain ln the State Highway Department funds and will be used aa they see fit. These improvements will benefit the people in and around Amherst very greatly, especially the farmers will have acess to both Amherst and Elyria and the roads will also bring people to Amherst who would not come if they had to travel bad roads to reach the village.

During the winter, of course they do not have such a large amount of work but at this time they supply tbe small needs of local people and ln their Ice chest they store Ice for the coming warm season. The making of the Ice is a very Interesting process and many Amherst people would enjoy seeing It at work. j There are many big school problems in Ohio. Adequate revenues, Increased salaries, better buildings and equipment, more attention to health, centralization- of achools, rooming facilities for teachers, community use of the school plant, modern textbooks, curriculum* of greater service, sun ■ supervision, the development of new teachers - all these are problems for the teachers, superintendents, legislature und the public. Much Is being contributed to their solution. School revenue und Increased salaries are looming large before the public eye. And for all this and with all this the public expect more expert teching service. And this is an appeal to the terchors not to neglect to be ready mi.re ready than ever before - to rea del* such sertrices. It Is an appeal to the touchers of some and even of much experience to avail themselves of the means of making themselves more ready. And the outstanding means Is the summer school. With better salaries promised for next year the excellent summer schools of the normal colleges and colleges of Ohio should be crowded • and there should; be larger contingents from Ohio than; ever before at the great teachers colleges In other states. Not only ln method but tn subject, matter should the teachers seek Improvement. Few know history and geography as they should. Teachers need more preparation In nature study and literature. Most high school teuchers need added technical knowledge of the subjects they teach or of subjects closely related to them. All need to get big conceptions of the social possibilities of education. And then there ure music, and art, und story-telling,- und manual training, und educational and mental testa; and tho education of defectives ami speech correction—get catalogues of '.ho summer sessions of our state minimis, of Ohio State University, or of your choice of other colleges—if you do not find what you want in one 1. will be olTered in another, consider the cost, remember that salary schedules are almost certain to be built more und more on the basis of training, think of the inrcease of your usefulness that may result—and prepare lo- attend. Regular summer sessions of Ohio normals und of Ohio State university begin June 21. Maximum service and maximum preparation should be the aim of our teachers—they may then expect maximum salaries; the minimum salaries will fall to those rendering only the minimum passable service;—and with handy passable preparation. The average ot attainment of teachers la rising; the resoultion to keep above It Is wise. Let us have Ohio the state of tho best standard of teacher preparation and teacher service ln the union.

Ohio My Dear Sir: f I am In receipt ot a letter from Mori. Post Adjutant of the post of the American Legion in your city, In response to a letter of mine that I wrote him some time since after seeing an Inquiry of his in the Legion weekly regarding the death of your son. It gives me great pleasure to be able to write to you of some of the doings of your son after he was sent to my company of the glorious old 6th. at Oglethorpe and up to the time of his death and my own severe Injuries which occurred about the same time, In the hope that it may In a measure relieve some of the sadness of heart that must exist ln the hearts of his mother and yourself, as I will never ln my life forget the Joyous relief thut came to my aged parents wheS I returned to them in Junuary 10 unable to walk and get around while they had been led by government reports to believe that I was practically torn to pieces, which I had been, but thanks to very careful attention ln the hospitals, I was put together again to represent my old self in a measure tho losing one eye. When your son came to my company in the states not very long before I sailed for overseas, I was particularly attracted to tbe earnest and steady manner ln which he went about his every duty and the sincere effort that he always held himself to, in assisting his officers to keep the men in good condition and cheerfulness, and to prepare themselves .for the strenuous duties thut would face them on the other side, und this wus more particularly true of Mm after we arrived over there and were face to face with what was momentarily and continuously facing death in Its every sense. And I want to impress upon you now that be met its every phase with cheerfulness and a smile and al ways with a thought of those at home back ln the states. It will please you to know tbat your son wus actively engaged soon after his arrival overseas ln work at the front, us our regiment wus detached from the 5th Division and did'duty with the 26th during Muy, June and July und we suw a great deal of the very acute action ln the celebrated Chateau Thierry drive of the Crown Prince in his attempt to reach Paris and of which great work was done by the Marines at Belloau Woods which tyrst put the feur of God ln the hearts of the Hun. as you undoubtedly read during those days. After that we returned to our Division und did continuous duty ln the front line moving from the Lore- mount sector in the Vosges on through Lorraine into the St. Die sector and onto St. Mihlel where he was elected by the powers that be to take his last resting place along with many of his officers and commits. In the Normont sector ho was closely attached to me at all times and I was particularly attached to htm tor his fearlessness and activity, always volunteering for any hazardous duty that either I or his officers were called upon to do with a detail, and he always came back with an excellent report from them as to his steadiness and support in their undertakings, so much so that he was considered one of my most dependable men. In the action of Prappelle which our battalion took the first of German territory to full into American hands he wus u mainstay to his plutoon commander und u source of great steadiness to the men. The duy before the Frappelle action 1 distinctly remember him writing a letter home und I asked him If he was telling his .people goodbye und he suld, "no sir. I am telling them not lo worry ubout me, thut I urn all right and happy, but wish I could see them again, thut the nuns were not sear- ing him uny." Thut was the mater lal that he wus mude of uud thut evidences his cheerful disposition thut was alwuys with him even up to the morning when, ufter hiking 36 miles thut night, wo sprung Into uctlon ut day break und by eight o'clock he with 56 ot his comi'ads and his platoon commander hud mude the good light und "gone west" luking the happy route of the fighting man, who fully realized whut his fute might be ut uny minute und who went to It with cheerfulness und u smile und angels could do no more. 1 regret thut the continuity of ad- vunce and having a severe injury myself together with the loss of 4 of my officers compelled me to forego giving personal attention to the casualties, but necessitated my continuing with the advance uuttl later ln the flay when I was again badly hit (four holes) through various parts ot my body, so that I might be able to tell you the full particulars of his injuries and death. As it la I only know that his platoon BANNER WEEK AT HOSPITAL. The Amherst hospital reports having broken the record this week. The matron of the local Institution says that at the present time there are five babies In the hospital and all have been born In the last two weeks Tbls Is something that has never hap- Instltutlon und establishes another pened before In the history of the record to put with their long line of achievements. Many people here and near here think that the Amherst hospital is not taking care of many people, but for the last several months the front rooms, orlg nally Intended for an office and sun room, have been turned Into wards and the largest number of people possible accommodated there. Records show that an institution of this sort Is un absolute necessity and even a larger one could be supported, although for its size the Am- MEMORIAL PLANS SOON TO APPEAR MEETING OF REPRESENTATIVES OF ORGANIZATIONS TO BE CALLED JUNE 17TH. A meeting of the Soldier Memorial committee was held Monday evening In the town hall to talk over ways and means to carry out the campaign for finances for the purpose of building a filling memorial for the soldiers of the community. The cpramittee lo raise funds was present and with the general committee talked tbe whole situation over. It was decided to hold a meeting on Thursday evening.

SHORTHORN SALE WAS INTERESTING LOCAL MAN COPS CUP ON YOUNQ BULL—PARAGON FARM GIVES CUP. E. 0. Schibley who is secretary of the New London Shorthorn association reported on Tuesday's show and sale held in New London anil says thut It wus Indeed a greut uffulr. The sule wus held ut the furm of Hogsett & Hogsett. A lurge tent wus erected on the ground which wur 60 x 100 feet In size, but this proved inude- quate to accommodate the crowd of between 1600 und 2000 people who were In ut tendance. A calf show wus held In the morning among Ihe boys and some who are older. This association thought best not to confine their culf club activities entirely to the younger members, but to allow anyone to enter who wishes. In this show, two lurge loving cups were offered us prizes, one for the best bull calf and the other tor the best heifer. The Paragon Stock Farms of which Schibley & Schibley are the proprietors offered the cup for the champion heifer which wus won by Lawrence Kllngshlrn of Elyria with a fine young animal. The President's cup was won by Frank Schibley on un eight months old bull culf which In the sule in the afternoon was the top bull und ln fad the top animal of the sale and sold for $1075. The bull's name is Paragon Radium, named for the furm on Middle ridge on which he wus raised. The top female of the sale was w young heifer owned by Louis Haas of Bellevue. The animal Is of a dairy shorthorn strain and sold for $875. The second prize heifer which wus owned by Donuld Duy, New London, sold for $575. She Is of u show stock strain and is Indeed a tine sight to look upon. The crowd was very enthusiastic over tho way the show wus pulled off by the management. Lunch was served on the grounds. The auto parking plan proved efficient. There were between 500 and 600 uutos uud they were parked so uny one of them could be taken out ut uny time tho owner wished without interferrlng with the others. The auctioneer was Col. 11. B. Allen of Ravenna, who was assisted on the block by Col. Yerlum of London, Ohio. The ring men were Col. Lincoln of Marysvllle, Col. Frank of New Lon don and Col. Greene of Chatfleld. • These men are experts at the work and the sale wus curried thru without a hitch. Wo might mention that the top female which sold ut this sule for $875 wus sold u year ago for $265, thus the owner made a profit of $610 for his lubor, feed and care of the animal during the past year. The i.ssoclutlon hus mude u prue- tlco of buying the young uniinuls from the original owners, giving Its ! note for the amount und ln the sule | all slock is virtually the property of ; the association ultho it has remained In the hunds of the origlnul owner .ind in the sule euch man Is then at liberty lo buy back the stock ihut he raised If he wishes. The shorthorn associution is well pleased with the results of its llrst sale and Intends to organize another calf club within tbe next two or three weeks and hold another sule In Ihe near future. Mr. Schibley who Is secretary of the associution culled In the aid of the Amh'erst News company and the catalogue of the sale wus printed In their shop. The firm of Schibley & Schibley of the Paragon Stock Farms of Middle Ridge have entered the shorthorn business very thoroughly and have some very expensive cattle. The have such as the lodges, school, churches, etc. and at that meeting put up the plans that have been worked out to this more representative body of people who have not been called upon for nearly a year and a half. The committee which has done all the work thus far which we have culled the general committee has worked out tentative plans for the memorial to be built. They have estimated the cost of such a memorial. They have gone Into the subject very thoroughly, but they have not seen fit to publish their ideas until this meeting of the representative committee will huve taken place when the matter will be open tor public discussion. The meeting of the 17th will not be a mass meeting by any means. It will be a meeting of only those who were chosen to represent each organization in the village and these people will be duly notified of the coming meeting by the secretary. It Is thought that at the meeting of the 17th definite plans will be chosen by the larger body and thus the community workers will have a goal to which to work. The finance committee will soon organize the town, lay out tbe plans for campaigning and establish a quota for euch section of the community.

DANIELS. SURVEY OF INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT LOCAL MINISTERS 8TATE OPINIONS OF ORGANIZED EFFORT OF CHURCHE8. Rev. A. A. Hunter. The Inter World Church Movement Is certainly a very hopeful sign of the times. When nearly all the Important churches in America unite ln the common cause of securing definite information about their task and of joining forces in its accomplishment, great results may be expected. Much will be gained when duplication of effort unit compeilltlve methods ure pervent- ed. as the splendid success of lnterde- nominaltional Institutions In missionary lunds cleurly Indicates. However, the greatest good will come lnthe higher morale of the army of the Lord. When first things ure put first the united forces will move forward to meet the needs of the weary, distressed world in the spirit ot Him who came lo reveal Cod to man. By Rev. M. Neumeister. The Interchurch World Movement Is organized Christianity on a large scale. Over thirty Evangelical denominotlons with a membership of over 15,000,000 representing 71 per cent of the prot- estunts of the United States are cooperating. If each denomination represented will carry out the program of the Interchurch there will be a forwurd movement ull along the line, greutly benefiting the church und the world. However, we must acknowledge tbe (SOt that orgunlzation and machinery in themselves ure powerless and Ineffective, nor cun the wheels ot this greut organization be turned by man power alone. We are dependent upon the power of God's spirit for success, "Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, suith the Lord of hosts." one of the best herd sires In the state und Just had the pleasure of refusing uu offer of $25,000 for him recently. The firm consists of E. C. Schibley and Frank Schibley, sons of Oeorge Schibley and we judge by the company they keep In their work of raising better cattle and the results of the recent show und sale that they are well able to compete with the best in this business and they seem to be able to choose a good animal for their purposes. •v. 1 Ai«Vi,,*ikja B.-A- |
