S. department of agriculture filled an entire book of more than 100,000 words. Several scientists spent more than five years collecting data, making experiments and drawing conclusions from which the report was made. Information of incalculable value to farmers thruout the United States was contained in this report, but it never would • have reached these farmers if the report" had not been boiled down and translated so that the real meat was available in condensed form. Farmers who read the agricultural department of The Plaindealer are keeping in touch with agricultural progress as it is recorded by experts in the employ of the United States government.

LAKE GENEVA LABORERS DEMAND MORE PAY [Monday's Woodstock Sentinel] Harvard bootleggers were given m surprise Saturday afternoon when Sheriff Edinger, Chief Deputy Hibbard and four other deputies visited that city, confiscating three stills and quantities of liquor. One of the violators of the prohibition law was found at a farm, three nriles southeast of Harvard, where a still was found and brought back by the officers. J. M. Eastlick was the man charged with ownership of the still. Another still as found in the residence of John Liske, who operates a tailor shop in his home, thought to be only a blind for his wet goods operations. At the time the officers reached the Liske place the still was in full operation. Soitoe alcohol was also found there. Still another still resulted from the "still" hunt of the officers, which was located in the residenpe of Henry Lakishe in Harvard. A harmless looking* piano served as a clever camouflage for the still, but the keen-eyed detectives were successful in discovering it in the corner behind the musical instrument,; They also found a keg of alcohol. . The last place visited was the residence of Sam Peaneto, but outside of a large quantity of bottled beer nothing of an intoxicating nature was found. The four Harvard men were brought to the county seat, along with the evidence, and given a hearing before Justice of the Peace Hoyt E. Morris, where they were all* bound over to the grand jury in the sums of $1,000 each. Eastlick and Lakishe were able to furnish bondsmen, but the other three were placed in the McHenry county jail. The warrants were issued by Justice Morris on information supplied by Ira Btokwell.

Heatley of Harvard as foreman, was recalled by Judge Shurtleff last week to report for labor Monday morning. • * • ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE The rest room at the court house at Woodstock is to be redecorated and will again soon be open to the public.
