Nine of these companies serve gas of less than 460 British thermal unit value. The Alabama commission entered an order in October ordering all companies to reduce heat unit values and the same was done by the Washington commission in June, 1924, the Tacoma company being ordered to provide gas An order was entered today by the | from 450 to 475 g. T. U's. Illinois commerce commission directing the Western United Gas and Electric company to reduce the heat unit Vfclue of gas furnished by it to its jp&trons in Joliet, Aurora, Elgin, La- Grange, Woodstock and approximately sixty other municipalities. This order ii looked upon as one of the most important ever made by the commission ,J because of the widespread and bene- | ftcial effect it is believed will follow to > jgias consumers, gas operators and the I..' . eoal industry in Illinois. It is based ,qpon a petition filed in 1922 by the Illinois Gas association wherein the •f.,;,- ifcssociation asked the commission to ' * Modify its general order establishing *,, beat unit value of gas in the state of < Illinois. T v Form Standard For District M • The association claims that a uni- ;.r* lorm heat unit standard is imprac- IScable and does not provide for the best service to the public and that " each utility- should provide gas of EUROPTSfOWL PEST NCW PREVAILING IN THIS SEC HON OF STATE Expect More Constant Pressure It is believed by the commission that reduction of heat unit value will result in greater constancy of pressure resulting in more efficient and economic use of appliances, that the gas consumption will not be materially increased, if at all, that there will be less compaint from consumers in the future and that there will be ultimate savings to the companies and to the consumers. In order to test the theory advanced by all gas experts that a change in the standards would be advantageous to all concerned, the Illinois commerce commission called for a practical demonstration and chose the Western United Gas and Electric company to carry out the. ex. peri,m, ent.» j., .J, represen.ta.t.iv e o.f t h..e state d, epartment The commission, therefore, did not f . ^ ^ m STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE PRESCRIBES WAYS TO PREVENT SPREAD Whereas, the fact has been determined that certain contagious diseases of poultry exist in the state of Illinois. Now, therefore, under the authority of law conferred upon the department of agriculture, the following rules and regulations are hereby prescribed: No live chickens, turkeys or affected with or directly exposed to the contagious disease known as European fowl pest or other similar contagious poultry diseases, and no carcasses of such animals which have died from any such disease, or manure or litter from such diseased animals shall be shipped, transported or moved from one point to any other point in the state of Illinois or from any other state to any point in the state of Illinois, unless such shipment or movement has been approved by a REPORT OF VOLO COW TESTING ASSN. FOR DEC. During the month of December! there were 396 cows tested, of this number ten cows produced over 50 pounds of butterfat and 67 cows produced over 40 pounds of butterfat. Of this number 20 cows were Holteins and 17 were Guernseys. The high cow, a registered Holstein owned by the Birchmont farms, produced 2462 pounds of milk and 71.1 of butterfat. The high Jierd, which are registered Holsteins and owned by F. Beckman, average 966 pounds of milk and 32.8 pounds of butterfat. The average of the 396 cows tested is 656 pounds of milk per cow and 24.6 pounds of butterfat per cow. Those whose cows produced over 40 pounds of butter fat are as follows: Birohmont Farms-- Reg.

At the age of twelve years her family moved to this city, where for a time her parents conducted a general store in what is now known as the Ben Brefeld building on the West Side and only recently vacated by a Cash and Carry grocery. Later on the family moved to Johnsburg and thence to a farm four miles west of McHenry. She was united in marriage to George Meyers by Rev. Fegers at St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburg on April 26, 1881, and ever since that time has resided in and around this city. The past twenty-nine years of her life had been spent at the present Meyers home on Washington street.
