WYOMING OUNTY HERALD PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT ARCADE, N. Y VOLUME XXXV FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1926 NUMBER 25 FIREMEN'S DAY SPOILED RAIN KEPT MANY FIREMEN AWAY. MANY PEOPLE EN JOYED THE WEEK'S ENTER TA1NMENT. Arcade's Old Home week of 1926 past. It was a rather enjoyable experience. The various parades in the evenings, although not large, ere good. In this regard we want to pay a special tribute to the beau- ful industrial float of the Merrell- Soule Company. They had an elab orately decorated car showing their arious products. Two little ladies, Misses Shirley Davis and Jeanette Anderson were sitting at a table, up on which were several of the food products of the Company. Ernest Holts had a fine looking float, on wjiich were two barbez chairs, and two young ladies were having their hair bobbed. C. C. McKerrow had a whole auto truck load of beautiful young ladies. The fantastic parade brought out number of floats that were much enjoyed. Saturday, Firemen's Day, was con iderably dampened by rain, and kept most of the firemen of other towns at home. You could not blame them, as the tain poured down all the morning and for a portion of the af ternoon. Thirty fire companies were , expected, but only three or four put in an appearance. However, there was a creditable parade by the fire-| men of Arcade, Springville and | Furmersville, about 4 p. m. Springville firemen were awarded prizes for best looking apparatus, ulii-at fireman, for company with mo.it men in line, coming the longest distance, and best appea?ing com pa\> The carnival features drew large crowds each evening. Mr. Riesman, who had charge of this feature, de- .-irws credit for the entertainment furnished and for the clean manner in which it was conducted. Taken all together, the week was a success. The Arcade Firemen con ducted every department in fine is nape LltUT. GOV.

DOCTOR APPOINTED Dr. George W. Nairn has been se lected to take charge of the eye, ear, nose and throat department of the Wyoming Community hospital at Warsaw. TAX SUPPORTED BANDS NOW LEGAL IN NEW YORK Taxation in support of Municipal bands and orchestras is now legal in twenty-six out-of the forty-eight states in the Union, i t is shown in a survey concluded by the Conn Music Center,. New York is among the states that have passed this sort of legislation. < INTERESTING DEMONSTRATION OF SAVAGE IRONER It is a real pleasure to see a real artist at work. Artists are not con fined to painting'pictures. There are real artists in every walk of life. An artist is one who takes a real pleas ure in doing anything exceptionally well and artistically and who really derives pleasure in the doing. Suoh an artist was in Arcade Mon day, when Miss Ruth Hall gave a demonstration'of the working of the Savage All-electric Ironer in L. L. Ennis' show window., She seemed to take a real pleasure in ironing all hinds of clothes. The way she handl ed the different articles, and the beautiful work she did, had an appeal to every lover -of nice work. Of course, the ironer is something to be proud of, and will turn out the nicest kind of work. Any man can wake his wife Oiappy by purchasing one. Miss \Hall was most accommodat ing and almost hypnotic in explain ing the many merits .of the machine, SERIES OF DANCES AT CHAFFEE Chaffe, Lodge L 0. O. F. will hold a dance in their hall at Chaffee' every Saturday evening during the sum mer. Ht* The first honors in the Wyoming County Spelling Contest recently held in Warsaw, were won by students of Arcade High School, and each winner was a pupil of Miss Lillian Jones. Mr. John T. McGurren, district superintendent was in town and pre sented Miss Fenner with five dollars as the first prize in the oral spelling contest, in which there were over twenty contestants from all over the county. Miss Cross won the written spell ing contest, and will have her ex penses paid to the state fair at Syra cuse, where the state spelling cham pionship will be decided. This excellent showing by Arcade students reflects much credit on Miss Jones as well as upon the splendid ability of the girls. JUDGES SURELY WERE WISE It was decided that the nine most beautiful women on the Warsaw Fair grounds Were Misses Louise Hawley, Edith Calvin, Mildred Robinson, Mrs. Harry Cross, Mrs. Mildred McCrum, all of Pike; Alice and Catherine Noat- man of Buffalo and Mrs. Arthur George of North Java. Each received $1.00. HARTMAN BARN BURNED Hartman Bros, barn on what is better known as the Robert McFar- lan farm in the northwestern part of Rushford, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground during .the severe electric storm, last week. MURPHY-KOLLWITZ Helen E. Kollwitz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Kollwitz of Attica was married to Leonard Murphy of Dansville, Saturday. The New York State Fair at Syra cuse, Aueuat 30-September 4, will be within easy reach ot every person In the State this year on account ot the special low excursion fares announced on the railroads. The rate has boon set at the round trip fare from any pert of the State at the regular rate of the one way trip. Theee popular ex cursion rates will prevail all during Fair week. The rate Is virtually one- half fare, a low rate hitherto unavail able since the war. The special excursion rates will ap ply on all regular trains and extra sec tions will be available where neces sary. Railroads leading to Syracuse from all sections—north,- east, south and west—will have the special rates. In addition, the D„ L. & W. will run a special train from Bingham ton. East, vest and north traffic will be handled by the New York Central. The O. & W. and Lehigh Valley railroads form the connecting links leading to Syra cuse. Special train service will be run direct to the State Pair, grounds, including admission to the State Fair grounds, thus avoiding delay and in convenience. The Special Committee on Trans portation to the- State Fair brought about the special low fares after ne gotiations with the railroads. Lieu tenant Governor Seymour Lowman appointed the committee to study the traffic problem and make it easy for people from long distance* to get to Syracuse. As the Fair grounds are centrally located In the State, it is believed that many who never -beforo attended the State Fair will take ad vantage ot the opportunity this year With speciallow rates now avail able the State Fair Commission Is planning a greater exposition than ever beforo in the eighty-eix years of the history ot the State Fair. Tho dates are two weeks earlier and good- weather Is anticipated. The agricul tural exposition gives promise of be ing the finest yet held; the amuse ments are greater In scope and variety than ever before, and the features pre- sago a record breaking attendance. The special rates which will prevail will be announced' by the railroads at an points of the State a| an early, date. Posters and the newspapers will con tain the announcements of rates and attractions at the Fair. The first day of the Fair promises to be the biggest in the history of the event It is known as Hambletonian Day, In honor of the opening race of the Grand Circuit. The purse for this raoe, 176,000, is the largest ever of fered in America. At least a dozen three-year-old trotters will bo in the stake, and particular interest Is being shown as theee racers have records to make and their .positions in the win ning are more in doubt than in any other race. While the day is desig nated in honor of the Hambletonian race, for Syracusans H Is to be Syra cuse Day. Mayor Hanna has appoint ed a citizens committee which Is work ing to/ the goal of 100,000 attendance on that day. Tuesday is to be known as Farm and Home Bureau Day. The guest of the Fair that day will be Hon. William Jardlne, United States Secretary of Agriculture, who will be the speaker. Wednesday Is Grange Day. This <s always one of the biggest days of the Fair, with Grange organizations from all parts of the State taking part. Thursday is Governor's Day. Gov ernor Alfred E. Smith will attend and speak. This day usually vies with Wednesday in popularity. Friday is Farm Machinery Day. The greatest display nod variety ot labor saving machinery for the farm and home is contracted for exhibition this year, and it Is worth a trip to the Fair to see the various devices in ac tion. Saturday Is Automobile Day. On this day the ooe-mlle track is given over exclusively to the thrilling 100- mile automobile race. Ralph De Pal- ma and leading speeders of the ooun- try will try for tho record. The no tional motorcycle championships are also decided at the same timo. All of the regular attractions will be in full sway every day each week. The display of crops, catUeT sheep, swine and horses will pe larger than before. One of the features of tho Fair will be the Night Show. Many who are unable to attend during the day may enter the grounds in time to Bee the exhibits and the horse show In the Coliseum or the fourteen acts of vaudeville and fireworks in front ot the grand stand.

POLITICAL SITUATION Misleading statements are being made by interested candidates re garding the action of the Republi can County Committee in endorsing Major Joe R. Hanley, for Member of Assembly, and William H. Richard son, for Sheriff, This is not the first time the com mittee has endorsed. It did this in 1922 when it endorsed Assembly man Joiner. This was done without complaint. iMr. Joiner has served in the As sembly five years. This is longer than any other member from this county has ever served. He defeated Mr. Hart of Perry and Mr. Metcalf of Castile in the primary his first year. He was given loyal support by the defeated candidates. In 1922, Mr. Hart was the man who made the mo tion to endorse Mr. Joiner. This year at the committee meet ing both Mr. Hanley and Mr. Joiner were candidates before the commit tee. Both submitted their names to a vote of the committee. Mr. Hanley won. An Attica committeeman made a motion to make the action unani mous and that was adopted. Both Republican committeemen supported this motion. Perry 'has had no member of the legislature for many years. Having lost out five years ago, and under standing as did many, that Mr. Join er would not be a candidate, the towrf presented MSajor Hanley as its choice. W. H. Richardson, of Warsaw, candidate for-sheriff in the approach ing primaries, was in town one day this week. He needs no introduc tion to Arcadians. He is well known 'here. He resided all his lifetime in Java till he removed to Warsaw on his election as Sheriff. He has serv ed two terms as Sheriff. Wyoming County has had many capable offi cials, but none have been more so than Mr. Richardson. He stands four square on his oath as a public official to enforce the law to the best of his ability, and one law is just the same as any other to him. If you want to know anything more of his work in office, examine the records of the county and you will find what has been done. In his day here he has met many voters and received practically unani mous promises of support. There is every good reason why the people of this town should give him 'the large vote which they will. WILL RESUME OPERATIONS OAK KNITTING MILL WILL, RE- OPEN MONDAY MORNING. ALL FORMER EMPLOYEES WANT ED. The Oak Knitting Mill at Arcada will resume operations Monday with as large a force of employees as they can secure. All former employees will be taken on and new ones add ed. The mill has been closed for about three months. Present business prospects indicate that employment will be steady.
