COUNTY S. S. WORK
PROGRESSING
COUNTY   DISTRICTS   HAVE   BEEN
ORGANIZKD-M.ORAIN   CITY
LINED UP WITH   FULL
SET OP OFFICERS
The Lorain County Sunday School
association la glad to be able to inform Its friends of the progress ot the
work in the county.' Several matters
of interest are worth mentioning at
this particular time.
The organisation of the county into
district" ' complete. Lorain has lined
up wit' a full set of officers under
Mr. S. A. Kurtz as president and definite work Is under way. Elyria has
had a preliminary meeting and elected
Dean Burns as temporary chairman.
The plan Is to put on a meeting early
In the fall and at that time elect a
full set ot officers.
Two rousing district conventions
have been held of late. On June 6 the
A- .herst-Brownhelm district held its
annual convention at Henrietta. The
meetlnga were well attended and full
of enthusiasm. The Columbla-La-
Grange district put over a very unique
program on the 19th of June at Columbia Center. The churches and Sunday Schools of the district closed tor
tho'day and big folks, and little folks
went to Columbia. Departmental Sunday School and church sorvices were
held in the morning, followed by a
community picnic lunch under tho
trees. In the afternoon the children
met for story hour and directed recreations; the young people, for the
organization of the local conferences;
and the adults as the convention proper. There were speakers from Oberlln, Lorain, Elyrla and Cleveland. Approximately 400 people were in at-
tendance.
The county was well represented at
the state convention held at Columbus. The county association was officially represented by E. P. Poate,
president; Mrs. C. F. Bertenfeld,, superintendent of children's division;
W. F. Oollmar, superintendent of
Young People's division, and Rev. F.
W. Smith, superintendent of Educational division. Several other delegates were in attendance, representing
various schools of the county. The
convention was the best in the hla
tory of the state association and the
benefits cannot be estimated.

ELYRIA CUBS DEFEAT
AMHERSTA.CS
The Amherst A. C's baseball team
met defeat at the hands of the Elyria
Cubs at Brandt's park last Sunday
when they were defeated by a scor*
of 5 to 1. Elyria came to Amherst
with a crippled team, according to
their statement because of the uncertainty of the weather, but Amherst
was in the best of form and the only
reason for them losing the game was
the scattering of their hits.
The statistics show that Amherst
and Elyria both received 7 hits apiece
nnd that Bark, the Amherst pitcher,
struck out 11 batters and the Elyrla
pitcher, 7. Another solution to Amherst's defeat may be that of poor support on the part of the infield. However, the game was Interesting
throughout and a well worth while
game to witness. Following are the

The cut stone plant of the Ohio
Quarries company was completely destroyed by fire Monday night when
the building caught Are from some
unknown source, destroying the building and contents to the extent of
$100,000. The Are was first noticed at
eleven o'clock and the alarm- was put
in by Walter Urshal, one of the employes of the Ohio Quarries company,
but had been burning some time before it was discovered.
The building while burning could be
seen for miles around. Several Amherst people noticed the blaze before
the fire whistle blew In South Amherst. It is the opinion of many of
the employes of the company and tbe
officials that the fire started from a
switch which was left on In one of
the cranes. This statement is not
known to be a fact but those who
made the investigation were of the
opinion that such could be the case.
The great loss was in the stone
which was stored in the building. The
other losses were in the two cranes
and several cars Which were in the
building loaded with stone for shipping. An attempt was made to get the
cars out of the building by John
Lenurd, engineer of the quarry engine.
He tried to back the engine into the
building and hook the cars on, but the
heat was so Intense that It was impossible to get near ths» burning cars.
Citizens of South Amherst responded to the fire whistle and pulled the
chemical engine to the carpenters'
shop, which is near by, Just in time to
save that from burning.
A short time ago the stone cutters
who operated in the building were on
a strike and not until Just a few days
before the fire did they resume operations. The flre will now put over fifty
men out of work and at the same time
delay the orders of the company. Tbe
orders were large and a great deal of
work was expected to be turned out
in the short time given them.
The building waa covered by Insurance but no settlement has been
made with the insurance company as
yet.

BUSINESS MEN AT
COUNTRY CLUB
INTERESTING      AFTERNOON      OF
GOLF  AND   BASEBALL  WAS
FOLLOWED   BY   A   SIX
O'CLOCK DINNER
One of the moat enthusiastic meetings of the Amherst Business Men's
association was he'd at the Lorain
Country club yestei lay afternoon and
evening at which time the largest representation of the members of the association was present and enjoyed an
afternoon in sports and an evening In
discussing business matters ot great
interest.
Sports were the first on the program
and consisted of a baseball game and
golf. The trip around the golf course
offered nothing unusual, but the ball
game was of the rarest type. It was
an "old-fashioned" affair in that it was
necessary to "choose up Bides." Frank
Mlschka and Wm. Smith appeared as
managers of the respective teams and
the fact ts not known whether or not
any arguments arose as to who should
be on one side or the other. At any
rate, the unusuality of the game was
that each had two catchers and still
felt the need of a lurgo backstop. The
exact score of the game is not known
us ull track of it was lost in the first
inning, when several home runs were
made. Those who played In and witnessed the game ure of the opinion
thut it "Babe" Ruth had been there
he would have turned green with envy. One of the features ot the game
wus thai of the superb ability of
H. A. Wesbecher as umpire.
Shortly after six o'clock the entire
party, numbering ">. was seated to an
excel'ent dinner. Immediately following the dinner, while all were still
■aated at the tables, speeches were
.iveu by several members of the aa
lot i'.itlon. Thre were also guests pre*-
ii. uml they, .too, were called upon
for u speech. Speeches were given
ou ihe school bond issue which will be
up for u vote at the election on August 8, and the Community picnic,
which will be held at Crystal Beach
some time iu August. The exact date
has not been decided as yet but will
probably be August  10 or 24.
Si. me arrangements have been
made for the picnic which will be a
bull game between the butchers und
grocery men. C. H. Ehrman will organize a team to represent the
grocers and Frank Mlschka will organize a team to represent the butchers. This event promises to be one
ot the most interesting features of the
picnic. There will also be a Ford automobile given away at the picnic. The
exact manner has not been decided as
yet but at any rate, somebody will get
it. Fnurther plans concerning the
picnic will be announced later.
As a fitting climax to such an enthusiastic meeting, Jacob Baus, president of the organisation, spoke extensively on the work of the association and heartily thanked the members for their co-Operation since his
taking office January 1 of this year.
While there id no settled financial
policy In the government of the state
of Ohio, there have been several laws
passed by recent legislatures applying
to the various taxing districts and taxing bodies. School districts ure now
operating under the following provisions:
Hoards of education muy levy up to
three mills on the valuation of the
school district. There is a state-wide
|i«vy of fifteen-hundredths of a mill
which is used in equalizing educational
opportunities In the poorer sections of
the state. There Is also a state-wide
!evy of two nnd slxty-flvehundredths
mills, the proceeds of which are returned to the counties from which they
are collected. The three mills which
the boards of education may levy ure
subject to revision by the county auditing board. The voters of the school
district may vote an additional three
mills for the support of (he schools.
Building programs may be carried out
by special vote of the people allowing
a levy for voting a bond Issue. The
limitation for taxation covering the
bond issue is fifteen mills. In any
taxing district certain Items of the
total rate are exempt from this fifteen
mill limitation. In the Amherst Union school district there is a sufficient
margin under the fifteen-mill limit to
cure for a building program without
any difficulty. A bond issue ot $125.-
000 carried over a period of 25 years
could be met in full the first year.
Each year, of course, the amount becomes less.
Note the growth of the tax duplicate
In the Amherst Union school district:
1914    $.'1,036,330
1915    3,181,260
1916     3,192,790
1917     3,354,630
1918     3,626,605
1919     3,733,000
1920     3,932,975
The average  increase for  the  first
six years as shown by this table is
3.9 per cent. The Increase this year
over last year is 5.35 per cent. A
growth such as Amherst has been
having means that each year the tax
burdens growing out of a bond Issue
will be distributed over a considerably
larger valuation. Each year, too, the
interest charge becomes less. Payment is made each year on a part of
the principal sum.
It will be Interesting to observe how
Amherst stands with other villages
and cities in this neighborhood In the
matter of taxation.
Tot. 1919 Tot. 1920

Wellington          15.6 19.2
Oberlln       14.4 20.6
Amherst           15.5 16.8
So far as ability is concerned, then,
Amherst cun have a new school
building. Financially, Amherst is
showing a good, healthy growth. The
present tax rate Is not high compared
with the rates of other Lorain county
cities and villages.
Perhaps you have observed what
oilier localities have been doing In the
school building line. It is always
worth while to check up our own
projects with those of other communities. The following list shows bond
issues voted upon for school construction in the last year or two:
Elyria  $1,000,000
Lorain     1.000,000
Vermilion         250,000
Oberlln      225,000
Madison       120,000
Glenmont         100.000
New London      190,000
Dover Center       125.000
Amherst is asking for a vote on an
Issue of $125,000. The towns listed
above voting on un amount as small
or snia'ler thun this ure much smaller
than Amherst. Gleitmont and Madison huve their new buildings practically completed. Lorain and Klyria
have part of their buildings nearly
ready for use. Oberlln hus not yet
Blurted on Its new project, but has
authorized a new building The Vermilion vote wus a tie and failed to
carry.
Summarizing the lust two articles
appearing In this paper on the school
question briefly, we conclude, first,
that the neod for additional school
room is i •Hiuesiioned, and, second,
thut Amherst has the ability to pay
for a school building program.
For the first time, the ladies of Amherst, as well as the men, will vote
ou the question of school building.
The August primaries should record
a record-breaking vote. You have the
figures both on school enrollment and
on the financial situation in the local
school distrcit. A vote for the new
school building on August ninth will
be a vote for a better Amherst.

LOCAL CHURCH
RECEIVES LETTER
GRATEFULLY      THANKING      MEMBERS FOR BOX OF GOODS SENT
THEM   IN   FOREIGN   LANDS
Editor's .Note: The following letter was- received by Mrs. Metta Norton In response to the box sent from
Amherst to missionary workers In
llulgarla:
I'hiVppopo'iB. April 30th. 1921.
Dear  Brothers and  Sisters:
On the 21st of April we received the
box with the goods In. in good condition. We huve been waiting for It
impatiently und ull this which you
have s» nt us has been collected by
you with kind thoughts uml christian
hearts, though unknown und living far
awuy from you. we received with gladness  and   thankfulness.
This date will remain memorable in
our minds for two reasons: First, on
thut day our little Lilly, our youngest
child, was in agony. During those
last minutes of her life In this world
CUM the box. Only a few days while
she w;is lii full conscience, she begged
me to go to the station and take the
bog, She always said to me: "Father,
I want fo see what have my American
aunts sent me." Since I knew the
box wus to come from Hourgas. I went
to the station twice daily to see if it
hud arrived, but in vain. It came
when Lilly could not hear and her
dear eyes cou'.d not see how many
pretty things there were for her In
the  box.
On the 22d. at 12:15 p. ra., Lilly
went to heaven to Jesus, whom she
lo\ed so much, and before she finished she sang continually. "I will
praise my Snvlour llefore His White
Throne" During her life she was an
angel on earth and now she Is a saint
in heaven, where she is looking In the
fuce of our friend Jesus.
Second, on that day, we received the
box with your presents. Seeing the
things, in the box. we experienced unusual sentiments- -of Joy und sorrow.
We wished that Little Lilly also could
see them and rejoice, but the will of
Hod wits that our Joy should not be
full.
In the things you have sent us, we
You   have

NoDefense
By Sir Gilbert Parker
Seldom do you get an
opportunity to read a
story by Gilbert Parker
in serial form. Aa a rule
they appear as novels,
the minimum price of
which is $2.00. Only
recently has the great
Canadian author consented to their publica-
t i o n otherwise. W e
have taken advantage
of the opportunity and
secured for our readers
"No Defense," one of
his most popular tales.
It is a real Parker romance with the high
lights and deep shades,
swiftly moving plot,
unexpected and unusual developments, the
warm human love and
absorbing interplay of
soul upon soul, which
distinguish his writings
above all others.
