HENRY iuCHERT DEAD Passed Away Saturday Morning, May 4, After Short Illness * Mrs. Henry Buchert passed away at her farm home southwest of this village Saturday morning, May 4, fol­ lowing an illness of eleven ^days, dur-' ing which she suffered from pneu­ monia. Her death came as a severe shock to the family, tho her condi­ tion from the outset was considered serious. Had Mrs Buchert lived until No­ vember she Would have passed her sixty-second year, having been born in Pommern, Germany, Nov. 13, 1856. She came to this country in the year 1880 and the following year on the twenty-third of September was united in marriage with Henry Buchert and has 6een a resident of McHenry ever since. During this period of thirty-eight years her interest and activity have been marked in many ways, espe­ cially in the Zion Lutheran church, where christian ties held her en­ dearingly, and she was ever ready to aid in any work tonnected with the church and her kindly heart reached out to neighbor and friends, in times of trouble or distress. Surviving this, devoted -wife and mother in the immediate family are the husband and seven children. Hie daughters are Augusta and. Bertha, (Martha dying in infancy) and the sons are Amos, Albert, William, Charles and Henry. To this family she was exceptionally devoted and her loss will be keenly felt in the parental home. Besides she leaves three grand­ children, Roy, Marjorie and Virginia; four sisters, Mrs. Albert Wolff, Mrs. August Feltz of McHenry and Mrs. Ewald Schneider and Mrs. Michael Schlosser of Chicago. One brother, Chas. Geske, and a sister, Mrs. Fred Eickstadt, preceded her in death. Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased at one o'clock Tuesday and at two o'clock at the Zion Lutheran church. The Rev. H. A. Laufer of Woodstock performed the last sad rites > and hosts of friends and relatives from this community and surrounding towns, who came to pay their last respects, followed the remain^ to Woodland cemetery, where she was tenderly laid to rest. The floral offerings were many sod beautiful. The family has the sym­ pathy of the entire community in its sad bereavement. ? 4?

Every­body knows that stable manure, properly spread, in­ creases crop yields. Practically every farmer owns, or has access to, a manure pile. Put that manure on your fields, where it belongs, but put it on the easy way. Instead of dumping it in piles and then spreading with a fork, doing double work, use a good spreader and do the whole job in the time it takes to drive to the field and dump a load. Spread a light, even coating of well ptilverieed manure *11 over the surface of the soil with a Low 20th Century Manure Spreader w Toifc dressing after planting warms the soil, starts the plants to growing and furnishes plant food to the growing crap just when and where it iB most needed. The Low 20th Century spreader is built just right for top dressing. It carries a good big load. It breaks up all lumps and chunks. It gives* the manure a double beating and spreads it as heavy or light as you wish, wide enough to top dress three ^ows of corn at once. There are three sizeS--small, medium and large--all light draft machines, all with narrow boxes, all spreading ' beyond the rear wheel tracks. This is the one machine you can depend upon to increase your crop yields this year. Telephone your order or come in and get a 20th Century spreader. We have them here.
