Lodtz, McHenry, Illinois m MM' Pa-; M Yard Ornaments No one enjoys seeing the unsightly piles of ashes that accumulate during the winter months. They --tell a very important story, however. They rep­ resent money paid for fuel which is wasted. liNotice how much smaller the ash piles are where coke is used than where hard coal is used. Usual- p,- ly the amount of coke ashes is but half the amount of hard coal ashes. a Besides having less ash than hard coal Vulcan Coke has more heat units and is cleaner. Vulcan Coke costs but $7.00 per ton. I^^S^-VfeSternUnrted Gas fjjte i ::W •̂7 ai)d Electric Company D. M. WORKMAN, District Manager &?$- '$&• V 'i '•*:. MANY IMPORTANT BUSINESS NATTERS ARE DISPOSED or BY COUNTY BOARD OF SUTERVIMFTS * -^Y (Harvjtrtf Hwald]' ";iv- Supervisors of McHenry vot­ ed County Judge Smiley a 8500 annual advance in salary at a meeting held at Woodstock last Saturday. John E. Harrison, supervisor of Greenwood, was the only dissenting voter. Super­ visor W right of Marengo, from the committee on fees and salaries, pre­ sented the report recommending the increase. In the discussion that fol­ lowed as to the situation that war­ ranted the increase, Judge Smiley ap­ peared and recounted the increase in the volume of business that has come iuto both the county and probate courts, saying the $1,500 salary, while possibly adequate years ago, was in no sense so now, adding that $2,500 and even $3,000 would not be too much. Supervisor Turner followed in a talk wherein he paid he felt the county judge's oflice was not paid enough and that a good county and probate judge is invaluable. He said further that he was willing to vote for an increase to $2,5000 and Supervisor Whipple of Dunham took a like position, second­ ing the motion of his H6bron col­ league, whereupon the dean of the board, Brotzman of Riley, moved that the vote thereupon be by ballot, which resulted in the Turner-Whipple mo­ tion or amendment to the $500 raise receiving three affirmative votes to thirteen negatives, Chairman Perkins not voting. Upon the passage of the committee report carrying the $500 in­ crease, the vote was fifteen for and one against, the Greenwood supervisor casting the opposing vote. Joalyn B*for* Ui« Board State's Attorney Joslyn appeared be­ fore the board in relation to the effort made by State Senator Olson for a re­ lease from prison of .Adriel Cowlin, confined in the county jail for violat­ ing the dram shop law, asking that the board, if it saw fit, take some action as to what he should do before the board of pardons, which had the matter un­ der consideration. The state's attor­ ney related how the law had been ig­ nored in presenting the pardon peti­ tion to the governor and the pardon board and asked to give an expression as to what was desired done so far as his office was concerned. Supervisor Turner offered a resolution, saying in effect that it desired Mr. Joslyn to ap­ pear before the pardon board to resist the pardon because of its belief that Cowlin had received a fair trial and thaf. the punishment meted out to him was but equitable. The resolution passed by unanimous vote on roll call. , Two Paylnf County OKIcm When the board met- on Monday morning considerable business awaited its action, the semi-annual audit of accounts of the county officials coming first, which showed that the county clerk,-aside from paying his own salary and that of his deputy, paid into the county treasury the sum of $2,414.04, and the circuit clerk and recorder $1,810.31 after paying his salary and that of his clerical force. Supervisor Brotzman, as head of the poor farm committee, reported an inventory of $10,000 having been made of the per­ sonal property of the farnT, where Gardner Knapp, superintendent during the past year, has been hired for an­ other year at an annual salary of $1,200 and an extra allowance of $25 per month for additional hired help. Probation Officer Wire Reports W. E. Wire, probation officer, pre­ sented his annual report, which showed he has eleven under his charge. Ten of them are making satisfactory rec­ ords, but one has been lost trace of, the probation officer said. Supervisor Haeger of Algonquin addressed the board on the cattle plague, explaining the seriousness of the hoof and mouth disease and urging that every possible precaution be taken to keep the dis­ ease away, saying it was imperative that all hunting be stopped and that farmers everywhere see that no hunt­ ing was allowed on their farms. Judge Appoint* Former Sheriff Former Sheriff Geo. Eckert was ap­ pointed county probation officer by Judge Smiley to take the place of Ben Throop, who has held the place during the last four years. The position pays $600 per year and the work relates to cases of delinquency coming within the jurisdiction of the county court, while the-position held by Mr. Wire is one created in all the counties of the state by legislative enactment and is filled by the circuit court judges of each district in the state, the salary in this county being $900 per year. Cut Phyaiciana' Bill The committee on claims and the board as a whole put the pruning knife into the bills filed by some of the Har­ vard physicians in small pox cases where they were attending physicians. Dr. J. G. Maxon had his bill cut from $267 to $192; Dr. H. J. Schmid from $314.50 to $120.50, and Dr. C. C. Peck a reduction in one case where he was called to Alden. The county solons be­ come watch dogs of the treasury when they observe big bills coming in where an outbreak of sickness occurs and they are usually on the guard follow ing the. situation that arose in Maren­ go a few years ago, they asserted Mon­ day.

GOODRICH SIGN POSTS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ERECTED IN THIS SECTION OP COUNTRY mtmum ^CENTRAL OPERA HOUSE The--W if \4sc-"' f JSSiSW, WEDNESDAY CftTTTDIfcty JH1U1UW1 SUNDAY One of the sign posting trucks of the B. F. Goodrich company, makers of Goodrich Safety Tread tires and all rubber goods, passed through this sec­ tion recently, making new surveys for the famous Goodrich route books, which are distributed free, and setting up a great number of new Goodrich guide posts. The truck which came through this section had just finished extensive sign posting and mapping of the best auto­ mobile routes in Michigan. In this immense work throughout the country, the B. F. Goodrich company has covered the best automobile routes to a total of 300,000 miles, and has set up nearly 50,000 strong, steel enameled guide posts to direct motorists, and to warn them of dangerous crossings and bad roads. The Goodrich guide post truck work­ ing in the middle west passed through South Bend, Michigan City, Hammond, South Chicago, Washington - boulevard and Austin avenue in Chicago proper, and covered the road to Elgin via May- wood Park and Addison. Surveys for preparing the up-to-date3 Goodrich route books were made. New guide posts were set up where needed, and old posts looked over for possible defects. From Elgin the truck went north to McHenry and to Lake Geneva, and the section around the lake was sign-posted and mapped. Returning to Chicago via Half Day, Highland Park and Evanston, the guide post truck then worked west through Aurora, Ottawa, Princeton, Davenport, la., and turned south, sign-posting and mapping the best auto routes through Muscatine, Burlington and Keokuk, and is now working to St. Louis. The route books which the B. F. Goodrich Company makes up from the survey of t^e sign-posting crews, cover practically every known auto route in the United States, and are distributed free to motorists through the Goodrich branches, which are in all principal cities. The. company is preparing a route book which will cover all of Illinois, combining the touring information and maps previously contained in the vari­ ous sectional route boofcs for this terri­ tory. This Illinois route book will be ready for distribution in the spring. The middle west work of the Good­ rich sign-posting crew is of particular significance at this time, because the new work connects up local automobile routes with two trans-continental routes already embodied in Goodrich route books. This is believed to be especially val­ uable for 1915 when the new Goodrich slogan of "See AmericaFirst" will aj>: peal to thousands of Americans who can­ not go aboard, and other thousands who will tour to the Pacific coast for the expositions. The Goodrich company has already sign-posted the routes radiating from Chicago to Indianapolis, Louisville,.Co­ lumbus, O., Milwaukee, Madison, the Twin Cities and Clinton, la., and these routes also connect with north and south routes to the C&rolinas, Georgia and Florida. All of the Goodrich route books for motorists interlock, making these vari­ ous connecting sectional routes con­ tinuous. The Goodrich company also is pre­ paring special route books, to be used in connection with the Pacific coast exposition in 1915. These books will give complete road logs from coast to coast and also will include sectional routes in California, as well as side trips to Glacier National park, Yellow­ stone park, Yosemite Valley, Grand Canyon, Mt. Ranier, Mt. Shasta and many wonderful places" along the Pa­ cific coast. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE J. F. Casey, Atty. Estate of Thoinsis Powers. Deceased.
