Du Page county deputy sheriffs raided a barn on the farm of Highfray Commissioner Matthias Dieter, fwo miles northwest of Wheaton, and found a big still and distilling layout frith a capacity of 1,000 gallons of ;j|lcohol a day, according to the raiders' estimate. The arrest of the commissioner was ordered. ' One hundred years ago, among the great forests of Vermilion county, a land of pioneers, fired with a religious spirit, organized the first ^•f the Methodist Episcopal church !n #»at region. The centennial celebration of the church took place in In- {ianola, where members of the church lp the Mattoon district gathered. M. P. Rice of Lewlston, present democratic assemblyman from the #orty-thlrd senatorial district, h«s won the nomination over Harry W. Qreer, Canton, by 254 votes, the recount ; held before Circuit Judge* Walter - frank has revealed. Judge Frank Instructed the county clerk to cer- ;fl|fy Assemblyman Rice's nomination to the secretary of state. Qreer Claimed the nomination by 18 votes after the April primaries and Kloe Contested. The Illinois Manufacturers' assod- , ation has opened a fight on the proposed revenue amendment to the state Constitution which will be submitted •to the people in November. In a circular sent out to Its 8,000 members the association condemns the amendment as "utterly bad," because It will "give the legislature, In addition to its present taxing powers, authority to *nact an unlimited Income tax statute and will work to the disadvantage of Inauufacturers in many other ways." Five hundred Illinois bankers stood through a drizzling rain knee-deep in ft wet clover field and heard how Farmer Frank Orrin Lowden operates the 4,500 acres of his famous Stnnls- «Slppl farm near Oregon. The bankers' farm field day was none of Lowden's personal doings. It was planned almost a year ago by the • University of Dlinols Agricultural college, the agricultural commission of the American Bankers' association, and the agricultural relations committee of the Illinois Bankers' association. Led by National Commander J. R. McQulgg, the entire visiting body of the American Legion convention, accompanied by local civic groups, will pay homage to Abraham Lincoln at his tomb September - 18. Monday „ morning, the opening day of the convention, Commander McQulgg will . lead the grand parade of the Legion .in a two-mile trip from Springfield's business district to Lincoln's tomb. It is estimated that more than 2,000 Legionnaires, women's auxiliary memi b*rg> and citizens of the capital city will take part In the parade.

Diounisious, reported to have large sums at money secreted, had refused tor years to associate with neighbors; or his own relatives Prefdemt of Mexico Insists tmws Must Be Obeyedtlf^'^ Religious Matter*. Nogales, Aria.--A Mexico City dispatch says six persons were killed and more than 100 Injured in one day during demonstrations over Mexico incident to the new religious regulations. Mexico Olty.--President Calles has rejected the proposal for a trace in the religious controversy made by the Mexican episcopate. In a statement the President says: "This executive has already made known Its opinion regarding the religious situation. Replying to the episcopate statement, I will say that the federal government will only limit Itself to act with the required energy to enforce the laws of this country." Former President Obregon, who Is regarded as a presidential candidate In the 1928 Mexican elections. Is reported to be in accord with President Calles and the government in its contentions in the nation's religious controversy. Although President Caljes has rejected the truce offer of the episcopate, gestures for peace are still under way. Tentative steps, it is learned authoritatively, are being taken which are expected to result In Informal personal negotiations between Attorney General Ortega -and a high dignitary' of the Mexican episcopate. Overtures are also understood to have been made for a prominent layman, who Is close to the episcopate * <«• skrf and also persona grata with President! r Calles to act as intermediary. Representations, which are Interpreted here as equivalent to a protest, have been sent to the Department of State by United States Consul General Weddell as the result of the first instance, so far as known, of the taking over of church property of any United States Protestant denomination since the new religious regulations became effective. Weddell Informed the Department of State that police closed the Episcopal church of San Jose De Gracla. The church has been In charge of a Mexican rector under/ Jurisdiction of Bishop Frank W. Creighton of Mexico City, presiding bishop of the Episcopal church In Mexico. The Mexican authorities say that the church was taken over because the rector had failed to register and to give to the municipal authorities the information required under the religious regulations. Police state that the conspiracy to kill President Calles apparently has not gone beyond the stage of mere talk. However, they have detained several more men and one woman in addition to the men and women arrested a few days ago. Tbe economic boycott proposed by the League for the Defense of Religious Liberty In opposition to the government's religious policy so far shows little if any effect in Mexico. Business circles here, however, have much apprehension over the cutting down of all business except in absolute necessities, as proposed by the league. In contrast to this attitude, the theaters, motion-picture houses snd regular bull fights draw the usual crowds in Mexico City. LIFTING TOO BALLAST m wmmmmm -&T* rv; Towns, like balloons, cannot make .much upward progress if overloaded with deadweight. Either must discard excess ballast if it ejects to get anywhere. Freighted with an indifferent attitude on the part of its citizens, unfair criticism or sentiment injurious to focal business, a municipality is unable tot overcome stagnation and will sink to «arth with its burden. Though McHenry is not lacking in home-town pride, there may be bits of ballast here and there which could well be eliminated in order to lighten the load which all of us must carry. Toss apathy, out-of-town buy ing and lack of co-operation overboard and the town will have smoother sailing on its journey to success. When on the street with me the other day, my wife said: "Ragson, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. The way you stare at these flappers one would think you never seen legs before." "Just what I was thinking, myself," I replied, and it made her more owlish than ever. Okwatw Sign Plem to Abolish State Primary jCMumbus, Ohio.--A petition bearing 242,000 signatures and asking the abolition of the direct state primary has been filed with the secretary of state by Nathan E. Cook of Cleveland. It calls for amendment to the Ohio constitution and if the proposal Is approved a plebiscite on the amendment will be held coincidental with the November election. The plan would permit the legislature to work out the problem after the direct primary system has been voided by constitutional changes. Harry L. l^avis, former governor, one of the committee backing the demand, said that within the next few weeka an extensive campaign would be conducted throughout the country to edu cate the voters in regard to the evils of the direct primary, I had a bound some years ago that was tlever on the hunt, a great big, husky" fellow, not the common mongrel runt; his ears were like a palm leaf fan, his nose was long and straight; he was like a streak of lightning, when he fairly struck his gait. I'd had him after wood chucks and rabbits by the score, and in his time he'd maybe caught a hundred skunks or more; but the day I saw him travel, why speed records simply mocks the record of the speed he made the day he chased the fox. It happened on a holiday, there wasn't much to do, I thot I'd take my dog and gun, the gun was bright and new and I was feeling mighty proud to know with this outfit that I'd bring down a load of game before 'twas time to quit. It wasn't but a little while before he took the scent, he was hot upon old Reynard as across the hills he went; I hurried like the dick ens for a couple miles or more until at last I saw them and my hopes began to soar; I saw them near a hay stack, they were going 'round and 'round; they went so fast they were simply blurs, I couldn't tell the hound from the fox that he was chasing, then twas just one drawn out blur, a circle 'round that hay stack like .a rope of whirling fur. At last I got up near enough to see how matters stood, that fox sat on that hay stack like an image made of wood, a-watching that old hound dog going 'round and 'round the stack he had jumped upon the top of it and gave the dog the sack. That hound gaind speed with every round, he went so mighty fast he was like a string of sausage every time he went past, until at last he gave a An oftcial MAN of a c< who, on hit to work «m moralkg, called at the offices of ttor lecal cil and main known his wMi to ttipstar nia wife's death. Wfcea the dark aatyNltift date of the demise, the man replied: "She ain't dead yet, but she will be before night. I thought it wonld save me another trip if you put it down now." "That won't do at all," said the clerk. "Perhaps your wife will live a long while yei." "Well, I don't know," responded the man in a-doubtful manner. "The doctor says she wont, and he knows what he tea given her." Why ia it that a man with a beard always seems to like poached eggs? They had been having a little quarrel and she turned to him with tears in her eyes. "Well, Jack, even though I have been extravagent, I got a bargain today." "Got a bargain, indeed! You have no idea of the value of money. I suppose yott got something for nothing." "That's just what I did. I bought a birthday preaent for you." "fYes, sir," said the McHenry selfmade man, "I'm teaching my boy thrift. Last week ha wanted a radio and I told him to earn it. He shoveled snow and got two dollars and forty cents and then he ran errands to earn another sixty cents. Saturday he borrowed the other eighty-seven dollars from his mother and bought the radio, which proves he's a chip off the old block." Treating • Common Barberry Bush with Crushed Rock Salt* rh«mp»ign UMimU. OLIVER COMEDY AT JEMPIRE, AUaOST 9 To Advertise" 3Lt Local Theatre The first thing to do when organizing a family picnic is »to select a day when it is reasonably certain a large cloud full of rain will chase all over the state looking for this picnic and then will finally settle at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The next step is to invite 37 relatives who do not speak to one another on accpunt of an old will feud in the family. Then pick out a picnic ground that is five miles from the end of the trolley line over a very dusty road. Some people do not make a success of family picnics because they don't go at it right. They try to make everything come out right and to arrange a fool-proof picnic. As a result, everything goes wrong and none of the relatives ever speaks to them again. The right thing to do is to arrange for the worst in every possible way including the traveling arrangements,^ the food, the entertainment and the weather. Then, on account of the general stubbornness and perversity of picnics something is liable to go in the right direction. One of the best ways to arrange a family picnic is to carefully plan all details except the place. Invite all the various branches of the family, but de not tell them where the picnic is to be held. Make them look around for themselves and then it is certain that all will vote to have another one just, like it next year, because every one of the family branches will go to a different place without a riot. There was once a kind-hearted man who got up a family picnic and paid all the expenses himself. He hired automobile busses, called for everybody who was invited, took them all to the picnic grounds, served a dinner prepared by a high-priced catering company, hired a synyjhonic orchestra to play, and made every person present a gift of a gold watch or a diamond brooch. It was a fine affair, but the relatives got to talking about him and about each other, and before the dinner was served and ever since then he has been accused of every crime from the carrying of .hootcfe, &Q Ittftfdering Joe Elwell. People from McHenry and all the surrounding territory are planning to fill the Empire theatre at McHenry Monday evening, August 9, when they will have the opportunity of witnessing the Graeme Playera, famous troupe of Chicago drama artists, in this community. The Graeme Players qprhe to us amid the appreciative acclaim of Chi- Mr. Davis said he heVd no doubt howl an<i tried his check» that after such an educational campaign "the people would give their veto of the present plan of nominating elective officiala." In event of the abolition of the direct primary, it would be impossible for the senate or any other legislative body to Investigate expenditures made in connection with the campaigns of United States senatorial aspirants.

P. S.--Oh, yes. There's one thing I forgot to tell you of, was that the fox which he was chasing turned out to be a c«t. You can't fool anyone with any of this nature stuff. Getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning and listening to the sweet songs of the birds adds nothing.

The banker was one of those "commercially deaf individuals. "I'd like to borrow 16,000," pleaded the farmer. The banker cupped his hand behind his ear. ~ "Speak a little louder," he asked, 'land cut down on the amount." In early spring it was we moved up here, that good old oak was just a mass of green, the way they are the springtime of the year--and yet guess that tree I never seen. I thought the oak was purty, that was all; and then the summer come, and then the fall. The bright leaves fell, and then I saw the tree, its giant strength by autumn storms revealed; the bright leaves fell, but still it stood for me, when winter come, a shelter and a shield. Yes, when the autumn come at summer's end, I found the tree a great and mighty friend. That was the fall we lost our little John, and had the fire, and crops was rather bad; but any good man he just kept workin' on, and held me closer when my heart was sad. Yes, when the sorrow come, and pain, and loss, my man was there to help me bear the cross. I thought 1 knew my man in easy days when all went well, in days of joy and pride; but, oh, I knew him in a thousand ways I'd never guessed, ihe fall our Johnny died.

Find Heayy Infection of Steam Rust on Grains Agricultural fieldmen who are now scouting for barberry in McHenry county state that they have found heavy infections of stem rust on the grains in this county. Several common barberry bushes were located last week and every one of these bushes were infected with rust. The agents state that the presence of so many rusted barberries help to explain the heavy rust infection on the wheat, oat and barley crops. On the property of W. P. Dietz near Marengo in Riley township, four large bushes and 15 seedlings were discovered some time ago. After looking about the territory in this vicinity, the field agents found 15 more Visit ANDERMHT8 foi HOME MADE CHOCOLATES ; Pho»70^ ;• tm.w • Bichmond,Dl.
