Crosby and Bluff Point, on Thursday, February 25th, and i)i Pulteney and llammondsport on tint afternoon a,ml evening of Friday, February 26th. These meetings are called at 1 lie request of the grape grow ers t h vmse lies. Mr. Oskamp lias gathered together information of the actual planting of grapes in the principal producing ai;cas, the amount of the shipments from these areas, oven- a period of years, the freight rates that obtain from these regions to the consuming markets ami out of this has construct ed a discussion which is very much •worth while? for Die grape grower. During the past few years the east ern markets- have received increased shipments of California grapes and this western crop comes in direct competition with that grown in the east. While prices to New York gra|>v growers have been quite satisfac tory, perhaps enough so lo allay any immediate apprehension of the future, yet these prices were possible because of crop conditions which were below normal in California,, almost, a total failure in Michigan and much below normal in New York. The purpose of the meetings are simply to give the growers this infor mal ion in order that I hey may be in a better position to consider what the marketing situation may be in the future. The definite arrangements of each meeting are as follows: John F. Hynes, of Penn Yan, Finds Father Dead. Lost 36 Years. After spending $1,000 and ap proximately 36 years in search of his father, John F. Hynes, of Penn Yan, last, month reached the end of his long trail. He was notified by tele gram that, his father had died in Poughkeepsie and that the body was shipped to Penn Yan for burial, where the home of the son is. Previous to the doatli of his father, Edward Hynes, aged 75, the son had no inkling that the man lie sought was living in Poughkeepsie. Members of the family contended that t.lie father had been killed in a railroad ac cident. Young Hynes spent many months and traveled many miles in search of information. Final ly ho gave up the search only to renew it again five years ago withdiscovery of new clues. Until the body arrived here, January 30lh, John had never gazed on the face of his parent since ho was an infant. His father and mother became es tranged. The mother took him away, and he completely lost, track of his father. He is now *10 years old. Thomas Hynes, of Bluff Point, was a brother of the deceased and Mrs. Joseph Brady, of Penn Yan, his sister-in-law. >> ♦ > C h ro n lclc-E x p rcao In d e x of News Page Current News ............. 1 and 0 Penn Yan Personals ... 4 Perm Yan Locals ........ 13 Rushville News ......... 6 Gorham News ............. 7 Editorial P a g e ......... .. 10 Classified Ads ............. 2 County News .......... 3, 8 and 11 Rude Rural Rhyme .... 9 Penn Yan Markets .... 10 New York Markets .... 7 Additional Penn Yan Locals 3 •> ♦ ♦ ♦ » - ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ $ AU TO MONEYS HOT TO BE USED FOR SNOW REMOVAL SURROGATESCOURT BUSY WEEK ♦ ♦ “Dusty” Miller to Address C. of C.

The automobile moneys received from the state by the county and towns must be used for const .ruction of permanent roads or maintenance,- as provided by section 2 UI of the highway law. Town superintendents were, unjust ly criticised in the article, when the The Yates county surrogate's court has been a busy place during the past lew days, many estates and mailers being handled as follows: Petition for letters of administra tion in Mm ('state of Samuel Loomis, who died in Dundee, January 28, 1926, was filed by the widow, Mollle Loomis.

Mr. Miller is a humorous speaker of wide fame. Recently he talked before the Batavia Chamber of Commerce. The men there were so pleased 'with his address that they later payed three times the usual amount to secure 1 a special return date. He is most highly recommended everywhere, and Penn Yan men cannot afford to miss hearing him. At. this meeling.it is expected that the community hall and tourist camp committees will make reports.

This special joint meeting of the Seth Green Line Fisherman's (dub, the Rod and Gun Club and other gentlemen that enjoy fishing and hunting was called for the purpose of listening to the report of Charles Wilkins, who attended the Consolidated Sportsman's League held in Albany last week. Mr. Wilkins was the only representative at this' meeting from this county and brought back some very valuable in formation of vital interest to our clubs and all sportsmen. The two clubs selected W. D. Reed as a delegate to a special meeting of the Consolidated Sportsman's'League to be held in Albany on the 23rd of this month to formulate a plan, where by the sporLman’s clubs through the stale can cooperate with the conserva tion commission at Albany to adjust the present game laws so as to better fit the needs of the different localities. The law as it is now prohibits the use of minnow nets for the taking of bait igi Lake Keuka. Fishing through the ice with tip-ups is also prohibited. They also wish to change 1 the law re lating to duck lumling so that the; sea son here will be open from October I 6 U 1 to January 31st. rather than to January 7th, the present legal closing day. Tliis week Thursday, February 18th, a.t 7:30 in the'Wilkins & Ellis sport ing goods store, ail who are interested will gather to hear a report of the. meeting at Auburn on the previous night which will be attended by Wm. D. Itoed, of Penn Yan. At this gath ering there will be one man from each county in the Finger Lakes district. that purpose, according to George G. i is a leader in Ihe opposition against. Donahue, secretary*of the Automobile Club of Rochester Persons objecting lo the roads named by I heir elected officers should not spend (heir time complaining about the roads improved, Secretary Donahue said, blit should petition the state highway commissioner and the legislators for further action. The roads designated for improvement, and those already constructed, cannot be changed, but by an amendment lo the state highway law, another road can bo placed on Ihe map in the same vicinity. OPPOSE ROAD SELECTED. Mr, Donahue’s opinion was asked when it became known that residents of North Colioct on, Gohocton and Avoca were protesting about Hie im provement, of I lie road between Mid dlesex and Rushville, which towns an on the direct mute frem the southern tier counties and villages lo northern, eastern and western ponds. The argu ment raised was that t.lie mad im proved was dangerous, badly drifted in winter, and contained several “hair pin\ curves and steep hills which en dangered the lives of motorists cover ing this section of Ihe slate. Oppon ents of the improvement claim that there is a. direct road between Middlc- l.lic improved road. In a. letter to : Frederick C. Greene state superin tendent of public works, he says: “If I am going 'mm either NorIJi Cohoclon or Napbs to Geneva, as f - frequently have lo do, I am compelled to go through Rushville to keep on hard-surfaced roads.

In view of tne fact that a commun ity building seems evident, the Post heartily recommends that, a museum be given consideration. There are a great many people here who have in llieir possessions interesting relics of fonuev wars which should be careful ly preserved. The intrinsic value of these various articles may be small at the present time, but jn years to come they will be worth considerable. Defi nite action was taken by the 'Post, to carefully solicit the residents of this village for such trophies as they may see fit to contribute. Any article of clothing ' wm n by vet erans of former wars or any material which descend ants of veterans have in their posses sion and would care to turn over to the Post will be carefully preserved and arranged in a suitable display, cither in our present rooms or in the community building on its completion. •The committee on the 4tlr of July? celebration rendered a brief report of j lln; program for that occasion.

Of course, the -writer admits that, it is much more pleasant to ride around the route in a motor car instead of poking through the snow with old dobbin, but if the mail cannot be de livered by auto, the carrier must, at least make an attempt, with a horse.
