During Mr. and Mrs. Ritter's residence in Marengo they won the esteem of many, all of whom regret their removal.

Dated at Richmond, III., tbli 5th day of June, A. D. 1011. J. S. BBOWH, Administrator. ss Have you seen The Skyman? .Bsrly summer weather this year has been unusually favorable to bugs and insects. Potato bugs have been in readiness for the annual harvest for some time and some claim to have found them in the fields waiting pa­ tiently for the vines to get up. The cucumber bug and the currant leaf worm are also shaking hands and pre­ paring to get better acquainted, but the pest that Is heard from the most numerous of any is the cut worm. The favorite food of these worms has al­ ways been corn, the young shoots of which they trim off neatly, close to the ground. But, getting around a little in advance of the corn season, they have not scrupled to tackle any­ thing they could get hold of. Tomato plants, cabbages, peas and lettuce have all been fodder for their grinders and they have even been known to tackle onions. The activities of the cut worms will, however, soon be ended. Prom the first to the tenth of June is the time in which they make their annual change from a worm to a butterfly. In a few days they will come to the surface of the ground and after a short amble in the outer air will make the grand transformation. This is the year when the seventeen- year locusts are destined to put in an appearance. These insects are among the curiosities of nature. While they live only a few weeks, it requires sev­ enteen years to hatch them out. The coming of these locusts has been re corded since 1724, when they were first taken note of in Connecticut. Every seventeen years since that time they have been regular as clock work. There are two distinct races of these locusts The one in the northern states, re­ ferred to, and another in the southern states, which comes once in thirteen years. This year the northern and southern locusts come during the same season. These locusts do not do any serious injury to vegetation. The female lo­ custs deposit their eggs under the bark of tender twigs at the ends of tree branches and the twigs thus attacked die. Where many of the dead twigs are found on a tree, the tree appears to be injured, but next year it grows out as strong as ever. The eggs hatch during the latter part of July and the active little larvae drop to the ground, where they burrow in the soil and re­ main for seventeen more years. They do not seem to injure plant roots, but to derive their sustenance from organic plant food in the soil. BASEBALL NOTES. The Richmond team shut out the Woodstock Shamrocks at Richmond last Sunday afternoon by the score of 10 to 0. Phil Weber of DesPlaines, who during 1907 wore a McHenry uni­ form, pitched the game for Richmond. Phil also stopped off in McHenry be-, tween trains Sunday evening and shook hands with a number of old friends. The Woodstock Reds, with Bending in the box, defeated the Chicago Gree- leys at Woodstock last Sunday by a 5 to 3 score. The Dundee Athletics shut out the Crystal Lake aggregation at Crystal Lake last Sunday. Score 1 to 0. Bowler, who in 1907 played short and left field on the McHenry team, is this year covering the third base for the All-Chicagoes, a fast sgmi-professional team in the windy city.
