B» AT OftEEMWOOfc jgiAMKUR. ••AK.MLEYANB As a result of the meetings held at Greenwood, Riley, Franklinville and Ridgefield, McHenry county is to be blessed with three local farmers' or­ ganizations, of which the officers of the county institute feel justly proud. Riley township has had such an organ­ ization for several years, which has been instrumental in bringing into that township some of the best agri­ cultural speakers of this state. The educational and social value of such gatherings cannot be overestimated. Knowing that the iocai organization can reach many farmers with whom the county institute cannot come in contact, we feel that a local club should be formed in every township of McHenry county. It was with this aim in view that the meetings were held last week at Greenwood, Frank linville and Ridgefield. The desired result was accomplished. The follow­ ing directors were appointed by Pres. Hunt for the purpose of electing officers, and for drafting suitable constitutions Greenwood--M. J. Wright, F. M. Barber, L. O. Wilcox, C. W. Thomp­ son, J. E. Harrison, C. C. Hunt, Bert Thomas, F. E. Thayer, Lynn Hall, F, C. Schroeder and J. J. Stewart. Franklinville--H. H. Hakes, W. G. Flanders, F. D. Perkins, Harry Sulli­ van, Wm. Sullivan, J. P. Andrews, C. Wilke, C. E. Ocock, A. Dialke, Ghas. Jackett, E. B. Standish, John Colbech, Walter Crandall, Mrs. Frank Silliman and Mrs. H. H. Hakes. Ridgefield--Floyd Morse, Geo. H. Wheeler, Wm. Yanke, S. M. Simmons, G. B. Baker, Rev. Giesselbrecht, W. E. Dike, L. A. Walkup, E. Knilans, Richard Reed, Frank Morris, Fred Hartisan, Fred Reed, Wm. Alls£ and Chris Nog. The Riley meeting was held primar­ ily for the purpose of discussing the advisability of a centralized school. To have this school ideal this would necessitate the uniting of several school districts, that the taxing unit might be sufficiently large to provide, not only a graded school, but a high school, fitted for agricultural instruction, and credited with the state university, al­ so. The sentiment seemed very strong­ ly in favor of such a movement. Pres. C. W. Coiton appointed a committee made up largely of school officers, which made arrangements with one of the speakers, Attorney G. W. Hunt, of Putnam county to draw up petitions, which are to be circulated at once in order that no time be lost in getting the building planned and contracted. Such a school, with a ten acre experi­ mental plot, would be a monument of which Riley township--yes, McHenry county--might be justly proud. The unselfish spirit of the speakers who attended these meetings is worthy of comment. With such roads, the drives from Woodstock to Greenwood, Riley and Franklinville were nothing to be coveted. But, in spite of all ob­ stacles, not a word of complaint was uttered, and more logical, sensible and interesting talks could scarcely be de­ sired. Auction Sale! 1% (I.
