AUTOMOBILE OVERTURN# , • NEAR PALATINE JULY 4 INKH* COMING HERE NEXT SUNDAY Next Sunday the fast Union club fe coming to McHenry to try their skill against the home club. ' Union has been going good of late and reports from their home lair are to the effect that the team is coming to McHenry for the express purpose of handing the locals another set back. This, we all realize, is more easily said than done, as you're going to see the home club up there fighting every inch of the way. Holly and Mallot will compose the battery for the visitors, while Opeka and Thayer will be the points for McHenry. Union on July 4 handed the Hampshire club a 1 to 0 defeat, while last Sunday they took a 10 to 5 fall out of the Genoa, 111., team. Thus on paper the two teams look very evenly matched and zo& game is surely to be expected. |rn out, fans, and give the home club the support they deserve. Game called at 2:30 o'clock. TO VOTE ON MOVING COUNTRY SCHOOL A special election is to be held at the Sherman Hill schooljiouse next Saturday evening, July 14, to decide as to whether or not to move the school from its present location on top of Sherman's hill to a point below the hill. The question has been agitated by patrons of the district for long time and in case the vote of next Saturday night favors the move it will also mean the closing of a part of the road on the hill. The plan, we understand, is to close up that section of the road on the hill, then extend the present north and south road, or the Ringwood road, south thru the Cossmann, Sherman and Wattles farms and thence to connect with the upper road. By so-doing the bad hill at Sherman's will be avoided awl closed for all time to come.

The company, like other good citizens, pays taxes, feels a civic pride in the prosperity of each community and responsibility to help each community become a bigger and better place in which to live or work. The company is constantly ex tending its facilities and keeping pace with local development so that a continuously larger number of residents may be served and the com- • munity itself made more attractive to outsiders. / The company occupies 112 buildings variously located throughout the territory. The lines of the company would stretch across the continent from New York to San Francisco. An automobile fleet of 220 vehicles, ranging from heavy duty trucks to light runabouts, is in constant service carrying those who tend the lines and rendering service to customers. Residents of small communities who formerly had but five or six hours uncertain electric service in the evening are now enjoying 24 hour service, in the same measure as residents of the large cities. • The Public Service Company furnishes services of a nature so essential to the agricultural, industrial and commercial development of the territory in which it operates that the prosperity and future growth of Northoca .

McQkltaK Ml William* St., (bMUfc* [Woodstock Sentinel] McHenry county will join the thirty or more other counties in Illinois in a systematic crusade to clean up tuberculosis in cattle, which, it is admitted, prevails thruout the entire milk district surrounding Chicago. At the last session of the Illinois legislature an appropriation of one million dollars was provided, to be used during the coming two years in reimbursing owners for losses sustained in having their herds tested for T. B. The law is not compulsary, and no owner is required to apply the tuberculine test to his herd if he does not want to, but the movement in that direction is becoming quite general and a large number of farmers have already indicated a desire to have their herds tested. . ^ Under the provisions of the federal and state reimbursement plan the different counties are required to provide their oWn veterinarian to do the testing. Fte must be approved by the federal and state departments, but otherwise will work under the control and direction of the county. At the regular June meeting of the board of supervisors a petition was presented that the' county employ a veterinarian, in order that the work of testing might proceed under federal and state regulations and the owners be reimbursed for their losses on cattle reacting. The cost of this work for the county is estimated at $4,000 per year. The proposition at that time was turned down, only five supervisors voting for it. The sentiment in the county against the test seemed to be overwhelming and several supervisors who expressed themselves stated ^hat while they believed the test is coming, they did not believe public sentiment in their township would approve of their voting for the proposition. The friends of plan, who include many of McHenry county's most prominent (breeders and dairymen, were much disappointed by the action of the supervisors at that time and under the leadership of such men as George H. Hunt of Woodstock, B. L. Thomas of Greenwood and others a petition was circulated among farmers, bankers and business men, asking the board to reconsider its former action and by the employment of a county veterinarian make it possible for McHenry county farmers ti> participate in the more than a million dollar state and federal fund which will be paid out during the' next two years for losses on reactors. A special session of the supervisors was held Tuesday to consider the question, at which there was a thoro discussion of the problem. In the diaeussion before the board Bert L. Thomas, prominent Greenwood farmer, represented the petitioners who want the county to join the general movement toward a cleanup of all dairy herds, while State's Attorr^ py Lumley represented the "doubters," of those people who are opposed to the test. Mr. Thomas proved a most convincing debater. He presented facts and figures showing the growth of the movement and how McHenry county losing thousands of dollars each year in the value of its herds of cattle when sold on the market. Mr. Thomas has had his herd tested for many years and was not personally interested so far as his own cattle are concerned, but he pointed out the great movement which is extending thruout the larger cities for milk from tested herds. Mr. Ltfmley called attention to the law which prevents any city from discriminating by ordinance against milk from cattle not tested. Mr, Thomas replied that there are many ways of getting around the law. He then explained that he and others had learned by a personal visit that the Chicago Tribune is prepared to begin a campaign in favor of the use of milk from tested cattle. McHenry county is listed as one of the counties which has refused to take steps to clean up its herds, and the Tribune is only waiting to see which counties remain in that attitude before launching Its campaign.
