Con- rad Poeckler at Sprwgfteld, Ill- inois, will be noted with genuine sorrow and regret by his many friends in Medina and this vici- nity. Installed as minister of the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Medina on January 10, 1909, Pastor Poeckler served his flock here for twenty-seven years by administering to their spiritual wants and needs. As a regular weekly visitor to the Medina trib- une office with his brief bag of church notices under his arm, he always had a friendly smile and words of greeting for everyone before leaving that have left many pleasant memories behind him. His sudden departure from our midst will be mourned by all who knew him as a true gentleman and a sincere, earnest Christian. \**».. *fc**M MtMDK POft fNslJ m •MM IW • A counterfeit ten dollar bill, identical in appearance with a genuine bill save for the fact that the eyes on the portrait of Alex- andt-i Hamilton were crossed, was noticed at the Medina Trust Co. this week, and forwarded to the Department of Justice at Washing- ton, D. C. With business along Main street quieter than a na- tional convention of deaf and mute delegates, many merchants would welcome even a bogus bill, if only for display purposes. • Uncle Abe says, \Business in the world is like playing any sport. You play the game hard and for all that it is worth, win or lose, and try to give the other fellow the same respect that you would like to receive from him. Nobody has any respect for the fellow who continually hits below the belt, belittles his opponent and then hollers bloody murder to divert attention from himself. He Aay think that he.is fooling the public but he Is only kidding him- self in thinking that he is a grand guy.\ # Last Saturday some 125,000,- 000 Americans in this country S ok the week end off to celebrate e 100th Anniversary of Ameri- can independence. The results, as published recently by the Nation- al Safety Council in Chicago, 111., i? rather staggering. 254 persons met death in automobile acci- dents on the highway, 104 were drowned while bathing, and 7 vic- tims were claimed by fireworks in addition to a $500,000.00 blaze in Remsen, Iowa, that razed four business blocks through some- body's carelessness and left fif- teen families homeless and desti- tute. Summed up. Death took a hpliday with a toll of 444 lives, the second highest in nine years, exceeded only by the 483 who Were claimed in 1931 by the Grim Reaper. • The present drought is proving i to be one of the most serious blights to farmers in Orleans County for many years. With the mercury soaring up around the 112 degree mark during the past few days and little promise of rain during the week, farmers in this county may well look anxiously at their crops and speculate as to what will happen in case Divine Providence does not send down the greatly desired rain. What We Jn Orleans County suffer from the drought is, sad to relate, uni- versal all over the country. We have travelled through the great agricultural belt of the Middle West, particularly in Kansas and Iowa, and know how the farmers suffer when the mercury reaches over the 100 degree mark and parches their wheat and corn; we haye been all through the great northwestern states of Nebraska, Wyoming and the Dakotas when the burning rays of a midday sun heat relentlessly down upon the arid plains with no relief from the heat for the sufferers; we have passed through the bad lands of toe Dakotas, Death Valley of Cal- ifornia and the hot sands,of Ari- zona and New Mexico. From what we have seen arid- observed in °ur travels, we can assure our readers that the intense heat and drought that we suffer from at we present time are infinitesimal «s when compared to those suf- fered m the West, a small picture J\ which may be obtained from we graphic despatches in the newspapers.

Wickes, of Rochester, N. Y„ the association secretary. It was to have expired on June 30 this year. Extension of the temporary low rate was made possible by ac- tion of Congress approved on June 25, 1938, and coven all interest that comes dub before June 30. 1937, on some *W,000 of Land Bank loans now outstanding thru the local association. For the country as a whole, some 2 billion of loans are affected. The contract rate of 4%, at which new Land Bank loans are now being made through National Farm Loan Association, is not changed by the temporary inter- est reduction provided by Con- gress, it was pointed out. Farmers who are getting loans now at the 4% contract rate will have the benefit of the 3%% rate, however, for all interest installments pay- able before June 30, 1937, and af- ter that date will pay 4% for the entire duration of their loans. I Band and Orchestra State Seed Law Applies to Flowers An amendment to the State seed law passed at the last session of the Legislature and just recently approved by Governor Lehman makes provision for official in- spection of flower seeds offered for sale within New York State along the same lines as already apply to vegetable seeds, lawn grass mixtures, and general farm seeded Germination and purity tests and field trials for trueness to type are provided for in the new legislation which is said to be one of the' first of its kind enacted in the United States. The amend- ment becomes effective this year. \Flower growers, garden clubs, and florists have long been aware of the need for some sort of super- vision, of flower seeds offered for sale to the public,\ says Prof. M. T. Munn, head of the Division of Seed Investigations' at the State Experiment Station at Geneva and in charge of all seed testing work In the State. \At the request of representatives of these groups we examined for purity and ger- mination 500 packets of flower sfeed purchased on die open mar-* kets of the- State during the active selling seasons of 1034 and 1935. The result of this survey demon- strated conclusively the need for some sort of protection for the buyer as well as for the real flower seedsmen.\ As regards purity, about a third of the packets contained weed seeds representing at least forty while a vast difference between different kinds of garden weeds, packets was noted in the quality and varietal purity of the seed, says this authority. About 57 per- cent of the packets-gave satisfac- tory germination, 28 per cent were of x doubtful value, while 15 per cent Were absolutely worth- less - , „ ^ . \All in all,\ concludes Prof. Munn, \this preliminary examina- tion shows that the situation with regard to flower seeds is quite similar to that found in vegetable seeds, that is, that there is a large group af seedsmen and* dealers who put into their packets the very best seed obtainable, while at the; same time there is another aroup interested only in packettag something to sell .Placing flow- er seeds under the same general regulattons as new apply to vege- table seeds should wwe well both of the seed buying public Mi immmmm *\ •%>>*?&< Mackey Estate In fe Surrogate Court •^Wff^MOiftWiW^ hi* w«ta» t* k WML IX B*nti#y, enauwah «* $oj:,,*ec^ng. ts»-ji'#|tt(Nift ; •U^0-0 i^^W^!^0^mm. rlettew by Ms^i;. fllSton, |i who $Mt XafedottviUf, Mpnton,; BeadE »« >$^jmjm ray, mm %M^mk^mm ed »t .$8#W* i««**%l^p%# in- cludes a Hsu*} in SawttuMfM fjti&feJff^ijHto*. liable §v« daughter .\; ? ! * ' -^h',;V • Com\y X4!» »ooJ, Y«t«», W&& ed $i,5Qo tm m tcmk&mi on May 35th, of m^ six ¥*np $1 son, Howard ,pmt$ mm 1&BHfc leans County Suf^gftt<is* , Ctefe The pmm* Mm 1*» «t™ tlie Morris Havdware Ck3«porati««i^ Lockport, and Howard JBlgerm#J driver of a, corporation truck u»# struck an<j fatally injured tnt child hi County Lino Uoad a milB from his home.

Saraw, on the Ridge road near Ostrander's Corners, was burned to the ground Monday af- ternoon. The fire, which started in the woodshed attached to the house, was discovered about 3 o'- clock by a neighbor working in a field some distance in the rear of the house. He ran to the house but was driven back by a burst of flames as he opened the wood- shed door. Mrs. Saraw, who was hanging clothes on lines on the west side of the house, knew noth- ing of the fire until notified by the neighbor. She immediately called the Medina and Knowlcsville Fire Departments for help. Assistant Chief Ranallo and Fireman Still- well responded at once with the small pumper, passing the Know- lesville firemen on the way. How- ever, there was little they could do, the fire spread so rapidly, but save the barn and other neighbor- ing buildings. In an hour the beautiful home was reduced to ashes with a loss of $5,000, most of the contents being saved. The fire is beUeved to have started from defective electric wiring. Mr. Saraw was away at the time. Form Health Unit At Middleport The following Middleport wo- men have formed a branch of Ni- agara County Health Unit, Mrs. William P. Mahar, chairman; Mrs. F.

Information waa also given the board that, the state highway de- partment will probably require purchase by the county of at least two strip* of tha right of way for the purpose of continuing the straightening of the Million Dol- lar Highway. The strips named are one from the Medina lino east about liffS miles to the present highway lino and containing 1] acres, and 0 strip east from Calan Street in Holiey to the present highway, about ,00 milo long and containing about five acres oxclusive of state owned land. The consensus of opinion of the board was that while purchase of these two strips might bo desirable, the matter should be tabled. Reasons given are that firat: The trolley company wants a release from Its obllga* tlon to maintain certain highway bridges in tha towns of Claren- don, Muray and Shelby, or from claims arising therefrom, and sec- ond, that tha company wishes to dispose of Its entire right of way to the county and that this might Involve the expense of maintain- ing party line fences. Because of this, it was the sentiment that when and if the two strips named are required to be purchased, they will bo acquired from the owners at that time, The board also hoard from the highway committee on negotia- tions with owners of the Hannah Csirpehter property and tha Mi> of which art nsedad for ahW (nation of comers and straight* ening of tha highway .The dwnars & th* first named hava rodu&d ir aiWr ' '-\ '• \\ * \' M,00» and the as* other has dropped ; 12,800.
