Patrons should enclose coins in an en­ velope, wrap them securely in a piece of paper, or deposit them in a coiu holding reoeptacle, so they can be easily and quickly taken from boxes, and carriers will be required to lift such coins, and, where accompanied by mail for dis- the requisite etamps. iReepectfolly, 5 P.

Sherman hospital of Elgin last year treated 464 different patients. The number of children born in the institu­ tion last year was 60. The number of operations performed during 1909 was 205. Official announcement has been made by the Elgin National Watch company that business conditions necessitate a re­ duction of 10 per cent in the output of the factory and that approximately 200 operatives will be laid off February 5, Richmond lost two of its pioneer resi­ dents in one day last week when George H.

W. F. Mead of Marengo received a beautiful bird from Atlanta, Ga., on Monday from his esteemed friend, A. H. Knott. It is an alligator about three feet long.

W. freight engine blew out Mon­ day morning of last week about two miles south of Harrington, severely scalding the fireman, Ed.

The accident is believed to be doe to a defective engine, Barringtou Rfeview: The persons who have been circulating the petitions asking that the saloon question be voted on again have secured the necessary number of names and the petitions have been filed with the village clerk, so that the proposition: "Shall this village re main anti saloon territory V" will be put before the voters at the spring election. Dr. V. H. Podstata, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane at Ei gin, has resigned bis position, because of his objections to certain rules laid down by the new board of administra­ tion. Dr. Podstata will remain at his post until March I and the appointment of the new superintendent probably will not be announced for some weeks yet Oliver notes, Woodstock Republican The report is that an order for 500 Frenoh machines has been received re­ cently, which must be delivered in France by the 1st of April, and as they are of a special design it means hustle for some of the bunch. In fact, a num­ ber of bands worked last Sunday and some have been on the job nights since that handsome order was received. Harvard physicians are working over­ time in an effort to care for the many who are ill, the grip being the prevail­ ing malady, and it has come on with a suddenness that is- surprising. Up to two weeks ago local physicians bad little to do, whereas now some of them are kept on the go day and night The same condition prevailed just a year ago this time. Iu many instances it is of a severe type. Cary correspondent to Crystal Lake Herald: Three large timber wolves roaming in this vicinity have been seen by several persons recently. Geo. Mc- Kisaell, Joe. Lasansky and O. W. Lumm all testify to having seen the animals, and James Parsley goes them one better by having not only seen them but secured a shot at one of them, and from the manner in which it ducked its head and scampered away, Jim says he thinks he must have given it a pretty dose shave. Friday the Cary sharp­ shooters' brigade, consisting of sncb noted shots as Henry Newbold, Joseph loiuisky and Eqgtme Beck, buckled on their armor and sallied forth with their trusty rifles to slaughter the trio, but Were only rewarded in their quest by seeing some tracks in the snow made several hour* previously, which were •uiid to be genuine goods. The wolves, However, are still running at large, with an opportunity for someone to not only secure the pelts, but a bounty paid by LOCAL FARMERS MEET TO ELECT DELEGATES The local branch of the Milk Prodnc era' Protective association met at the village hall last Tbursday morning. The meeting was called to order by John Gracy, the president of the local branch, while Frank Thompson per­ formed the duties of secietary, to which office he was elected some time ago. The sole purpose of the meeting was to elect two delegates to represent the Mc­ Henry branch at the county convention at North Crystal Lake and alfeo two delegates for the Chicago convention, which takes place next Monday, Feb. 7. The county delegates chosen were John Phalin and Wm. Wingate, both of whom atteuded the meeting at North Crystal Lake last Friday. The delegates for the Chicago convention are John ftracy and F. E. Martin. The county convention at North Crystal Lake was a very spirited one, and it now begins to look as if the farmers will make a determined fight for higher prices for milk when the Bpring and summer contracts are made with the bottling plants in March. The accompanying table shows the produc­ ers' demands last spring, what they received, aud the probable demand this year for 100 pounds of milk: Demand Price Demand Month 1909 1909 1910 April.... $1.50 $1.40 $1.55 May. 1.20 1.10 1.25 June..... 1.05 .«& A 1.10 July ..... 1.20 !.<* 1.20 25 August... 1.45 1.26 J 40 45 September... .v 1.50 1.35 1 50 At the county convention the follow ing resolutions were unanimously A Surprise Party. A large number of ber young friends tendered Miss Clara Miller a very pleas­ ant surprise at her home on Green street last week Wednesday evening. It is needless for us to say that Miss Clara hadn't the slightest knowledge of her friends' plans until their arrival at her home. While not entirely prepared to receive guests, the pleasant hostess en­ tertained her friends right royally after once recovering from the shock that an occasion of this sort always inflicts upon the victim. The evening was merrily passed in games and the other amnse- tneuts that always furnish plenty of pleasnre and t'un. At an appropriate hour refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake and other dainties, were served. Those in attendance were; Vera Barbiau, Katie Bnch, Esther Mill­ er, Laura Barhian, Clara Freund, Anna Webpr, Cecelia Freund, Lillie Neiss, Dora Engeln, Katie Blake, Edyth Pet- esch, Katie Niesen, Helen Weber, Katie Pint and Clara Miller.

We believe it to be the one saving influence of the milk industry of this dairy region, so far as the milk producers are con­ cerned. Resolved, That the achievements of this association during the first year of its existence are without a parallel, both as to its membership of 3,500 and the tangible results shown, which abnns dantly justify the belief that with the added strength that will come in the near future, still greater things will be accomplished. Resolved, That while we appreciate the excellent work done by Mr. W. A. Goodwin and Mr. Jas. H. Turner, our two directors from McHenry county, we hereby record our judgment that McHenry county, in view of its large milk producing capacity, should have at least three directors for the ensuing year, and we hereby petition the dele­ gates to the annual meeting, to be held in Chicago on Feb. 7, 1910, to so amend our constitution as to provide for three direofoM^^rom McHenry county.
