LeBaron Hartt, for 38 years a Ieading business man in Medina ant active in church and fraternal affairs ,died at 5:30 o'clock this morning (Sept. 18th) at the age of 70. Mr. Hartt came to Medina from Canada in 1895, and at first was connected with the Charles Dry Goods Store, later engaging in the grocery business, and then turn- ing to the line in which he has been one of Medina's leading busine,es -nen for over thirty years, furniture and undertaking, doing business first as Hartt & Bill, then combining with the late D. D. Holdredge as Hold- redge, Hartt & Hill and for the last twenty years as the H. LeBaron Hartt Company, in the management, of which Mr. David A. Barnes has been associated since 1925. Henry LeBaron Barth was the sixth of a family of nine children. The parents were Charles Addison Hartt and Eliza Taylor Hartt. He was born April 2, 1863, at Clinton, Ont. He was married in 1888 at Brantford, Ont., to Lottie Kendall. Like her husband, Mrs. Hartt made many friends and had the same in, terest in religious activities, which she continued even after loss of sight. She died in 1925. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Hartt Helmkamp of Pittsford, N.Y., and Miss F. Addi- son Hartt ef Medina; one brother, Allen Hartt of Toronto, and nephews and nieces in St. Louis, Mo., East Liverpool, Ohio, and Toronto, Ont. Mr. Hartt was not only active hi his busie-es but took a fall share in the socia. and religious life of Med- ina. He was an interested supporter of the Y. M. C. A. and the Boys Com- munity Work. He was a charter member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and a past president of the Rotary Club. He had served as president of the business Men's or- ganization and supported the work of the Ad Club. His religious affilia- tion in Canada was with the Ply- mouth Brethren and in Medina he al- lied himself by. generous support and many activities with the First Bap- tist Church, where he served as a trustee from 1922 until 1931, when a serious illness of the previous year compelled a lessening of his activi- ties. Until recently he continued a ser- vice of several years as teacher of the Men's Baran Glass of the Bible School.” The Journal had the following to say editorially: "One of Medina's most respected citizens and a prominent business man, H. LeBaron Hartt, passed away to -day to that reward Beyond that goes to one who has lived an upright life, dealt conscientiously with his fellow men and set an example for others to see and follow.

D. Bonyman, chief poultry in- spector for the Dominion Govern- ment. The favourable eomments in England . on shipments of chilled tur- key from, Western Canada last De- cember suggested the possibility of opening an export market for chic- ken and fowl delivered to the Old Country in- an unfrozen condition. John Bull, for some reason unknown toe us, refuses to have his poultry frozen and this attempt, if success- ful, should open a new market for choice milkfed ehieken and, possibly well fattened fowl. Poultrymen in the Clinton area should feel highly complimented that their poultry should have been selected for this trial shipment. How- ever, Huron County and the Clinton. area, particularly, has long been noted for the production of choice, properly finished nnilkfed chickens. "Farmers,", seinarked Mr. Me Gugan, manager of the C. C. Poultry Plant, "the last two years, have been disappointed"by falling markets for their chickens during the menthe of November and December, due tc abnormal storage stocks of this pro- duct. This year, with extremely low stocks of chicken in storage, the eonditions 'are exactly reversed and the farmer who matures his heavy chickens on .the range and then pro- perly fattens them, preferably in crates or in pens, will find himself well repaid for his efforts in the premiums.wh'ich he will be paid for genuine milkfed chicken. Further- more, Huron County will maintain Their Excellencies Will iSpend Night of Oct. 18th In Clinton The itinerary for the two-week Southern Ontario tour of the gover- nor-general and Countess of Bess - borough has been announced.

CLUB HEARS HUMOROUS PAPER The London Road Ladies' Club met on Thursday last at the home of Mrs. G. B. Henry and Mrs. Nay, There was a good representation and several items of business were disposed of. Roll call was answered by a current event. itirs. N. W. Trewartha was the speaker of the afternoon and her subject was: "Noted Women of the World." Before starting on her main subject she gave a very inter- esting little account of a trip up north as far as Gravenhurst, taken by herself and members of her family during the summer. She was enthus- iastic about the pleasure of such a trip and described the beauty and in- terest of the places visited. When she came to the main part of her address bile read a most amusing little skit about the -members of the Club, who are all "noted" for something of int, portance, and all the names were brought in very interestingly. She explained that she had found it im- possible to find time to do justice to the more serious subject and the lad- ies seemed to think her treatment of it at least unique and amusing. AN INTERESTING COLLECTION Miss Matilda Fowler of Hullett, sister of Dr. Howard Fowler of Clinton, has a unique and rather peculiar hobby, a collection of Cacti, some five hundred in number. During the past summer Mr. W, H. Cowan of Clinton built Miss Fow- ler a neat little conservatory, where she now has her collection and in this collection ,are about two hun- dred undred and sixty different varieties, Two very rare specimens of globular cacti were imported from Mexicc and are said to be among the largest ever imported. They are very large and are supposed to be about fifty years old. Many of the varieties are very rare and beautiful, the flowers being varied in size and formation, some huge blossoms. They come from many tropical countries, Mexico, Central America, Peru, Brazil, South Africa, Chili and Argentina. And recently some have been imported from England and Germany. One of the varieties is called the Crown of Thorns, This grows in the East and is said to have formed the crown of thorns which was placed upon the head of the Saviour prior to his crucifixion. Some of the varieties grow edible fruit, from one of these the Mexi. cans extract a sweet juice -rhich is used in making candy. Most •of these plants need very little water and some will die if touched with water so one needs to, know how to handle them. Miss Fow- ler's collection is an interesting one and i$ one of considerable value, PEOPLE YOU KNOW Mr. R. H. Johnson made a business trip to Toronto on Monday.
