Most of the cars and other vehicles that had to pass thru Algonquin to the ski tournament at Cary drove onto the river alwve the bridge and made the trip to Cary on the ice. It as an un­ usual sight to see the automobiles on the river.

A curious and interesting condition is the fact that this large sum must be from per­ sons not patronizing the old fashioned saving banks for their deposits are not lessened.

FIARY'SCATH- OUC CHURCH TUESDAY For chapped hands. 25c at Petesch's. Benzo cream, 21-tl Judd street. He h a g raduate of our State Normal University at Normal, 111., and also of the law department of the University of Michigan. He has been practicing law since passing the bar examination in Springfield in 1906. As many of th^ best lawyers of the country have done, he practiced in Chicago two years, being employed by M usgrave, Vroman & Lee, one of the best law firms in the city, after which he came to Woodstock. From Decem­ ber, 1908, to December, 1909, he acted as assistant state's attorney for this county, during which time he drew practically all of the indictments, in­ formations, instructions and other papers used in connection with the oflice, that required technical legal skill, and the court records testify that the work done was of a high order of efficiency, for they show that of all of the indictments that he drew all that were tested were held good. He is therefore prepared for the office by both study and practice. He is clean, energetic and industrious without being extravagant, and per­ sistent without vindictiveness. The only pledge that he makes is, that if elected he will run the office on the square. The people who know him say he is on the square. We would like to have in the office an energetic, careful, capable man who will give the people a square deal, and we hope that our next state's attorney will be of that stamp. „ DISEASE OF HONEY BEES. The United States department of agriculture calls attention to the fact that American foul brood and European foul brood has been found to exist in McHenry county. The department has no means of knowing how long the disease has existed in the region, but desires to notify bee keepers of the trouble and to suggest that, if not al­ ready informed concerning the disease, they inform themselves at once. Very frequently colonies of bees are destroyed by disease and the loss is attributed by the bee keeper to some other cause. Farmers' Bulletin No. 442, The Treat­ ment of Bee Diseases, gives a descrip­ tion of the brood diseases and methods of treatment. It will be sent free on request to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. Attention is also called to the fact that the brood dis­ eases do not at all injure honey for human consumption, so that there need be no fear on the part of purchasers of honey. PRIZE TARGET SHOOT.
