Butter and salad dressing worth $125 were stolen from a truck, the property of H. E. Hovey, wholesale grocer of Geneva with a branch store in Penn Yan, which was stalled at the state road Friday evening, near Hall. The truck, in charge of Robert De- vine, was being driven from Elmira to Geneva. About a mile southwest from Hall, the front wheels got off the road and sank into the soft earth, making it impossible to ex tricate it. Devine left the truck and walked to Hall to procure assistance and when he returned he discovered that someone had visited the truck and had taken four tubs of butter, valued at $30 each, and salad dress ing, valued at about $5. The theft was reported to Chief Kane, of Ge neva, and to the State Troopers. Five Bids for Memorial Hospital.

The On tario county lads are reported as pre paring an invasion of Penn Yan for the express purpose of running off w ith the well known rind and they anticipate little difficulty in w a lloping the offerings o f the local hurlers to all corners o f the fair ground.

Great interest is being created am ong the Seniors of Penn Yan Academ y in w o r k ing up their charm ing comedy, “Daddy Long Legs.” The cast under Miss M. E. K e lly’s excel lent direction is m a k ing rem arkable progress. Miss Jean W ebster, the w riter of this delightful story, has dramatized it in four acts. The story is centered around Judy, a pretty little drudge in a bleak New England orphanage. The first scene is laid in the dining room o f the John Grier home on trustees’ day. A young trustee, a Mr. Pendleton, becom es interested in Judy and de cides to give her a chance. Judy not know ing her benefactor, names him “Daddy L o n g Legs.\ The second act finds Judy in her study at college with her roommate, Julia Pendleton, a niece of Mr. Pend leton. Mr. Pendleton visits Judy under the pretense o f seeing his'niece, Julia. Here Pendleton takes a different in terest in his orphan. This act is the dawn of romance for Judy. The follow in g act pictures “Lock W illow Farm ” three summers later, where Judy is spending her vacation. Here Judy’s tw o suitors meet and conflictions immediately arise. The last act, w h ich^ occurs tw o months hence, takes place in Mr. Pendleton’s library. Here Pendleton is recox t-.ring from a long illness. Judy, with her good friend, Miss Pritcher, decides to visit and consult him con cea lin g the affair of her heart. To her great surprise and happiness she finds “ Daddy Long Legs” and her sw e e t heart, Mr. Pendleton. The tickets went on sale last Mon day ancl are selling rapidly. They can b j procured from the members of the class at the small price o f 85 cents. Held for Grand Jury. ----------------- » - .

TOURIST CAMP SAVED TO VILLAGE Option Expired Monday on Excell Lake Front But Public-Spirited Cit izens Hold It for Village the has The offer of George Excell to sell 300 feet of his Lake street lake front to the village for a tourist camp and children’s play ground expired Mon day. Mr. Excell has had several opportunities to sell this front at a higher figure for cottage sites. To save this site to the village a num ber of public spirited citizens have taken over the property until village can make the purchase. The Chamber of Commerce had this site under consideration for some time and also the Hanford property It was found the latter was held at too high a figure to ser iously consider. The Excell property lias a beauti ful lake front and the land runs to the street. It has been used as a tourist camp for several years. It has great possibilities for a play ground, bathing and camp sites. The men who have saved this property for the village are to be congratu lated for their public spirit. This is the last available lake front near the village. t WE ARE DOING VERY WE,LL, TH A N K YOU Z I nearly 50 costume. taken. girls and young women A silver offering will Clinics at Dundee* and Middlesex. 1 HARVEY HUNT. The death of Harvey J. Hunt, a well known resident of Dundee, occurred at the fam ily home Saturday m.orning, after an illness of but few dsCys. Mr. Hunt was born in Smyrna, 85 years ago and for a number of years fo l lowed the occupation of a farmer near Reading. Several years ago the family moved to Dundee. * The funeral was held at the home Monday afternoon and was private. Rev. M. E. Bartholo mew, pastor o f the Presbyterian! church, officiated. The remains were taken to W aterville, near Utica, for burial. Mr. Hunt leaves surviving his ; wife, two sons, Bertram E. and Fred; also a daughter, Miss Mollie Hunt, all . of Dundee. At the request of Nellie Z. Mahar, Yates County Tuberculosis Nurse, Dr. B. R. Wakeman, Sanitary Supervisor, has arranged with the New York State Department of Health to hold two consultation clinics for diseases I of the lungs at the following places: j Dundee, Town Hall ............... May 10 ! Middlesex, Town Hall ......... May 11 ! Clinics hours will be from 1 to 4 p. m. Dr. F. W. McSorley, Director, Divi sion of Tuberculosis, and Dr. L. I, , Thayer, Supervisor of Tuberculosis . Hospitals, Dispensaries and Clinics, ' for the State Department of Health, • will be the examiner. The X-ray out fit from the state department of health will be used. Patients will be admitted only upon presentation of admission cards signed by their family physicians. If the patient has no family physician, an admission card can be obtained . from the Health Officer, j In an effort to assist family physi cians these clinics have been held at intervals throughout the state for the past four years and large numbers of . people have been referred by their j doctors for consultation and X-ray. Aside from known cases of tubercu losis, patients who have come for examination have been of two types: Persons who possibly present no symptoms of the disease but who have been in contact with cases of tuber culosis, and persons who show such signs, as bronchitis, asthma, coughs, persistent colds, loss of weight, undue ; fatigue and symptoms of that ! character. There is no doubt that the decease * in tuberculosis is due largely to the early diagnosis and prompt treatment of suspicious and beginning cases. 17w2* PRESBYTERIAN. C. K. Imbrie, Minister.
