COURT HOUSE GIVES SHERIFF TTCGHT JAILER '•fit With "an average of fifty-seven prisoners being housed in the McHenry county jail and the fact that only one jailer has been on duty for years, Sheriff Lester Edinger appeared before the board of supervisors Tuesday and asked that the board grant "fcim the right to employ a night Jailer when he deemed it necessary. 'Sheriff Edingcr's request is the re- ' •" suit of disclosing some unrest of twoprisoners in the jail at the present time, namely, Lew Cooper and Clete [Dohbins, - members . of the f&mous ' "'uK- \ Court, No. 569, W.

About 100 men were in attendance, including officers from the" Ringwood and Crystal Lake locals. Several of the Pure Milk officials from Chicago were present and gave interesting talks.

Would Make Fox Navigable "Without regard to the aid that this improvement would afford the Great Lakes to the Gulf Waterway, it is also justified because sufficient commerce would be almost immediately forthcoming when the Fox River is made navigable and because it is among the first Fox navigation requirements. The Fox traverse# one of this country's greatest industrial and farming districts, which is much in need of this improved waterway connection. In 1929 the value of products manufactured in the Fox Riv^r Valley was nearly $200,000,000. Farm and dairy products^ produced in the Valley increased this dollar volume many milion more- "In-addition to this, the Fox River save the contents of the building. The fire was in the roof mostly'and the volumes of black smoke that poured forth would make one think that an oil well was burning at its best.

Shurtleff's decision of a few months ago, wherein the McHenry county jurist held the new congressional remap of Illinois congressional districts as invalid and unconstitutional. This ends the famous reapportion- 'ment of Illinois congressional districts passed by the Illinois legislature last spring, by which every distfict in this state was upset, placing fourteen districts into what was .called the Chicago metropoliU»-^ii»trict and leaving only thirteen districts downs* ate' „•#. Under the new plan which has come to naught, Will ' and DuPage counties were separated from the Eleventh district, which, with the addition of LaSalle and Kendall counties, was changed to the Nineteenth district. <" Under the new law about half of the Twelfth district. Including Rockfotd, was included with the Thirteenth district, which includes Freeport. This change threw two congressmen, Buckr bee of Rockford and Johnson of Freeport, into .one district. Shurtleff Congratulated Judge Shurtleff is holding court In Woodstock. All Wednesday morning he was in receipt of a flood of messages from prominent leaders over the state, praising his decision and congratulating him upon the fact that he has been upheld by the Supreme court. ' Admirers of the McHenry county jurist are reminded that he has had many important matters before him in recent months, which have brought him more than ordinary fame in his judicial capacity. The congressional reapportionment case was only one of these, and the recent Oscar Nelson case was the most spectacular, and, perhaps, the most important, as it concerned the trial of a state official on a serious charge.' t Other important cases might be referred to, some of which have gone to the Supreme court and Judge Shurtleff upheld. He, himself, however, goes on day by day, transacting the business the court as it comes before him, modest, retiring and without ostentation. " -,'4 Dean of Judges As the dean of the three judges of this circuit, Judge Shurtleff holds a peculiarly interesting position * His associates are Judge Fisher at Rockford and Judge Dady at Waukegan. These two latter judges, located, in the largest cities and counties of the district, are busy most of the time in their home towns, while Judge Shurtleff is occupied much of the time in McHenry and Boone counties, with occasional visits to the Rockford or Waukegan courts when he may be needed. In this way his work is somewhat diversified. Added to the above. Judge Shurtleff is a member of the Appellate court, with headquarters at Springfield. He is thus~brought into entirely new surroundings from time to time, which are doubtless interesting, and certainly keep him in touch with affairs throughout the entire state. M HENRY LEGION PLANS : BIG MEETING JAN. 28 Pet«*r Neiss, commander -of the McHenry Legion post, states that L'eo (Gabby)) Hartnett, star catcher of the Chicago Cubs, and Jimmy Corcoran of the Chicago Evening American staff, will attend the annual county meeting to be held at McHenry on January 28. .

Don Geyer, secretary*Of the - frit®, JMUk association^ was the main speak* er and talked for more than an hour and thett answered numerous' questions v in regard to the recent" price cut and , also on the much talked of "base." He said that, with the exception of Hart' ford. Conn., the Pure Milk association price is the highest in the country. He said that McHenry county farmers can consider themselves lucky they ^re felling to Bowman and Borden plants instead of other plants that are not able to pay as quickly as these. ^ A. M. Krahl, editor of the Pure Milk News, gave a lengthy talk on the work of the organization the past year. He urged members to read the monthly paper where they would get the news of the organization. Kenneth Roye.r, head of the laboratory field service, g&ve an interesting review of the work done by this department the past year.

The association has pledged one half of this amount to the fund, which is matched by an equal amount bv the , dealers. This they have agreed to do. An additional $5,000 is available to the subburban markets supplied by the Chicago dealers.
