The fight is being led by Represent ^l^'btative Frank A. McCarthy of Elgin, " ' who was spokesman for a group of ^representative farmers from McHenry, Kane and other counties in this district, who called on Health Commissioner A. H. Kegel in Chicago Satuiv •$day to present their claims. Tbe rigid enforcement of the Chi* ; ;c»g» ^ordinance requiring that all milk 1 funj|fted to the Chicago district be jfroiu tuberculin tested cattle is forcing financial ruin on many dairymen :in the Chicago district, the healtii commissioner was told. Outside competition producing milk at a distance of from 50 to 500 miles from Chicago does not receive the same rigid inspection as the milk proeduced in the close in territory. As a result the local territiory is seriously . handicapped. The wholesale price for two years past has been around the $2.50 mark for milk from tested cows, which is the same price as was paid for milk before the tuberculin test was mandatory. In the meantime there has been an almost complete turnover in cattle in this district. Thousands of dollars have been sacrificed to satisfy the whim of former Helath Commissioner Bundensen, who was removed from office a few weeks ago by Mayer Thompson. > Farmers Ask $3.00 j The farmers represented by Representative McCarthy are asking for $3.00 per hundred pounds, an increase of fifty cents over the present price. They are also asking what is even more important in the long run, that the entire territory supplying milk to the Chioago territory be treated the same. If this district is to be required to live up strictly to the Chicago milk ordinance, then no milk should be admitted which comes from territory not under rigid inspection. At present thousands of gallons of milk go to Chicago from territory beyond the natural Chicago district, and which it is claimed is not under proper inspection. Farmers Mast Unite A few weeks ago another group of fanners, representing the Pure Milk association, called on Mayor Thompson in Chicago and made an appeal for a higher price for milk The mayor was then told that the farmers of the district had spent $5, 000,000 in readjusting their herds dairy barns and equipment to meet the new pure milk regulations in Chicago, while milk is now selling at an average price lower than three years '^One of the unfortunate 5hu»m»"= is the fact that the dairymen still have two organisations representing them in this district. It is to be regretted that this lias not been corrected. , One single organization representing all of the dairymen of the district cmrid accomplish much good work for the district. Two organisations each of the other, can accomplish b^t little. / y / rNIGHT MASS AT ; , . , srr.

Aaaartment of Neway It« Condensed Form Far Busy People Glen Ffcey, who lives near the Lib' ertyville Country club, miles north of the village, had a little pre-Christ mas celebration of his own last Thursday afternoon, when he went gunning for a varmint on the golf course. What he took for a large dog, proved to be a prairie wolf full grown. Mr. Frey brought Mr. Wolf down with a well directed shot, and brought the animal in town, where it attracted no little attention. Several wolves have been killed south of town, near Half Day, in recent months, but so far this is the first one reported from the north. The Cohn A Jennings Men's Furnishings Store at Lake Geneva was looted of a large amount of clothing one day recently. Estimates of the loss are to the effect that 157 suits of clothes, many overcoats and large quantities of other men's wearing apparel were taken; also about $500 in money. The loss will total in the neighborhood of $8,000. McHenry county police blamed a "vampire" motorist for the death early last Thursday evening of Charles H. Morrison, 70, for many years a resident of Barrington. Snatching a bit of sleep while riding on a commuter's train from Chicago to Bar rington, Mr. Morrison overslept, and when he awoke the train had passed his station. Leaving the train at Fox River Grove he elected to walk back to Barrington on State Route 19, and while walking along the pavement was struck and killed by a motorist who did not slop. At a meeting of the board of sup ervisors last week, that body voted unamiously for holding an election on a $250,000 bond issue, the money to be used to construct new buildings and make other improvements on the Lake county poor farm at Liberty ville.
