He was stationed at Eagle Pass, Texas. Following the border campaign Dr. Maxon continued in the medical reserves and at the outbreak of the World Whr on April 10, 1917, reentered the service, located ih Chicago as a medical examiner under General Stanton. From there he was sent to Sheffield Barracks, Honolulu, with the Ninth Field Artillery. Later he was mustered out of the service after the close of the war.

Hetzen American Legion Post at Harvard, and was active in Red Cross, Masonic and church work. He was chairman of the Harvard chapter of the American Red Cross. Dr. Maxon was first elected mayor of Harvard in 1919, in which office he served continuously with the exception of two years ever since. His present term will expire in April of this year, and had he lived there is no doubt he would have been re-elected then. CLAIM COUNTY SOLD INTEREST IN SWAMP AT LAKE ELIZABETH Several years ago McHenry county was informed that it owned some sixty acres of swampland on the lower end of Lake Elizabeth, one of the famous Twin Lakes. Later, it was reported that the county was deeded some 1,000 acres of land, but it had, as years passed, dwindled to a mere, sixty acres. Now Carl Wittmus, chairman of the lands and lots committee of tlje county board, reports that in all probability the county has no interest whatsoever in the swamp land. He told the board ^Tuesday that Theo. Hamer furnished him with the information although the report is not official as yet. As the story goes, many years ago Theodore Hamer, who was deputy county clerk at the time, traveled to Twin Lakes via horse and buggy with members of the board of review. Mr. Hamer says that at that time the county disposed of all interest in this property. Supervisor Wittmus says Mr. Hamer is going to look over the old records and in the very near future hopes to have a certified copy of the transaction involving the disposal of the property by the county. TTiis property has been the topic of much discussion of late. The county was offered $500 for it a short time ago, but residents of Richmond township got up in arms over the proposed sale and it was called off for the time being. Mr. Wittmus has taken a keen interest in the proposition and his latest report came as a surprise to many board members while to several others it did not. There has been a feeling among the members that the county has sold its rights to the land many years back. MARRIAGE LICENSES Adelbert R.

Unaffiliated World War veterans will also be asked to register. The purpose of the registration, which is entirely voluntary, is to provide the local, state and national leadership of the Legion with a complete inventory of the assets of the organization of manpower, experience and special training that could be made available to the government if needed in the defense of the nation. Register on February 22 National Commander Milo J. Warner has proclaimed Saturday, February 22--the 209th anniversary of the birth of George Washington--as national defense registration day for all Legionnaires and unaffiliated World War veterans. On that day every Legion post in the country will ask its membership and other local war vets fill out a questionnaire. It will chronicle every man's capabilities and talents which could be used in national defense. From the questionnaires will be compiled post, department and national indices of the Legion's national defense assets. These indices will enable the Legion quickly to locate any member or veteran for whose special services governmental agencies might have a need. Along this same line" of preparedness, it was disclosed last Thursday that Woodstock is to have a company in the new reserve militia setup. Alvin R. Cooke of Harvard has been appointed captain of the organisation to be known as Company F. of the third Illinois Reserve Militia. Captain Cooke informed a Woodstock Daily Sentinel representative that the Woodstock state armory will be taken over by the company in the very near future. It is expected that the Illinois Emergency Relief will have to find new headquaYters. The IERC has been encamped in the armory at Woodstock since its inception some seven or eight years ago. ' To Name Lieutenants Complete plans on recruiting some 129 members of the company have not been made although Captain Cooke said a first and second lieutenant will be named in a few days. These three officers will proceed to Aurora where headquarters of the regiment will be set up by Colonel James Sanders of North Aurora, where they will be sworn in. They in turn will act as recruiting officers. Captain Cooke is a reserve officer. A veteran of the world war and a prominent Harvard Legionnaire, he is well qualified to head the Woodstock company. The new reserve militia is headed by General John V. Clinnin of Chi- i cago. Late last summer General! Clinnin was asked to begin organiza- j tion of four reserve militia regiments j totaling 6,000 men to replace the Illinois national guard when it is called into federal service March 5. That call has been issued and the national guard is now ready to depart for duty. The new company wijl drill once a week. Some compensation will be paid. Besides three officers, sergeants and corporals will be named following the organization of the company. The Woodstock company will be a rifle company. General Clinin has announced plans for the establishing of a two-way radio network to link all Illinois armories after the national guard goes to camp. The two-way radio system will be one of the most important features of the reserve militia setup. The radio setup will be co-ordinated with the radio systems of city, county and state highway police. CHAS. HALL PRESENTS PLAINDEALER EDITOR WITH VERY OLD BOOK A. H. Mosher, editor of The Plaindealer, recently came into the possession of a book that was published in New York in 1825. The book is entitled "The Life of Benjamin Franklin, Written by Himself," and was a gift of Charles Hall, who lives on John street in West McHenry. Tihs old book, with its leather cover faded and cracked and its pages yellow with age, is only two and one-half inches wide and five inches long. Contained therein are 290 pages, unfolding the life of this great American and several of his illustrious essays. This old document, every page of which is readable, ha<0>een the property of Mr. Hall for many years and had, likewise, as he passes it on to Mr. Mosher. been the gift of a friend. Althogh Mr. Hall attained no worldwide fame, as did the gentleman in the book he has proffered, yet he has utilized his life to the fullest extent and has attained the age of eightyfour years. Still in fine health, Mr. Hall busies himself at odd jobs throughout the day, including shoveling snow during these wintry days, a task of which he is not particularly fond. His wife too, whom he fondly remarks, "is the best wife in the world," and with whom he has been united in marriage for over sixty-three years, keeps the little home in West McHenry in tip-top order. Adorning the walls of their home are several oil paintings, all works of Mr. Hall, who is a retired painter and interior decorator. Last fall, when the Painters and , Decorators union held their fiftieth anniversary celebration in Chicago, although he was unable to be present, Mr. Hall was honored as the oldest member of the organization. Remarkable as it may seem, Charles Hall never had the opportunity of being tutored by an artist. In span moments from his other line of painting, he started dabbing in oils and has produced many lovely works. One of these is especially notable, a painting of Christ before Pilot, the Former surrounded by an angry mob of persecutors. This work was completed durinrr Mr. Hall's seventy-second year. Although he was born a Norwegian, Mr. Hall came to America at about the age of twenty. He immediately applied for his citizenship papers as he desired to make the United States his permanent home. Now he declares that there is no place on earth like this country and is mighty glad he« has been able to call it his country for so many years. He has retained a very cheerful disposition, enjoys smoking a corn-cob pipe and never drinks, except, as he puts it. "an occasional glass of beer, and that wont hurt anyone." RINGWOOD CHURCH NOTES Next Sunday Rev. J. L. McKelvey, pastor of the Ringwood Methodist church, has chosen to speak on "The World Today and What Can You Do About It?" The Worship Service will begin at 9:30 a.m., while Sunday School will commence at 10:30 a. m. The church is the only place to receive religious instruction today.

Mrs. Betty Nielsen, accompanied by her daughter, Betty, and her sister, Miss Catherine Nielsen of South Haven Mich., returned home this week from Florida where they had been vacationing for the past month. The three ladies left on January 12 for Miami where they remained for about ten days. One of their trips out of the city lead them to Key West, via the seven mile ocean highway. Another highlight of the trip was a trip to Havana, Cuba, which they took on a conducted tour. As soon as the boat docked at the island, a group of young boys swam out to the boat and started diving for coins which the tourists tossed into the water. They fill their cheeks with the coins while they dive for others, and ijot one do they lose. When they went ashore, Mrs. Nielsen relates that her first impression was the extreme poverty to be found among the natives intermingled with the mansions of the wealthy. There seem to be no middle-class people, she says. In Cuba the people are either exceptionally rich or else they must beg for a living. Upon their return to Miami, the trio drove homeward up the west coast. They stopped at Bonita Springs for a short visit with the Ivar Fredricksens of Wonder Lake. Also, they stopped to see the widely publicized Singing Tower and enjoyed a glimpse of the undersea life at Silver Springs. They returned to McHenry Saturday, just in time to have all their sunny remembrances obliterated in a snow storm. LAWYERS DISCUSS CHANGES IN THE INCOME %|X LAW WANT STTATE TO FINISH ROAD SOUTH OF CITY The county board was asked by Assistant Supervisor Paul Rosenthal of Algonquin township Tuesday to pass a resolution asking that the state take immediate steps to complete the road from McHenry to Crystal Lake which was half finished last year. The south end of the road is still unfinished. The project is state financed. The board voted the power to the resolution committee to drav* up a resolution and have a copy sent to the state highway departing Immediately. ^ Mr. and Mrs. Harold P. Oweti arrd daughter, Patsy, were guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen L. Ingersoll at Milwaukee, Wis. Mrs. Owen and daughter returned home Monday, while Mr. Owen remained on business. Miss Clara Miller and Mrs. Annabel Aicher returned home this week from Clearwater, Fla., where they spent six weeks in the A. P. Morita At a meeting of the McHenry County Bar Association held last week, called especially for that purpose, discussion was had concerning the effect of the changes that have been made in the income tax law. It was estimated that somewhere near 5,000 additional returns in McHenry County would be required by virtue of the changes in the law and that this figure f represented many individuals who have heretofore never been required to file a return. Emphasis was stressed on the fact that failure to file returns, as required by the law, would subject the offending person to severe penalty. There are a lot of married people in this county whose gross income is more than $2,000, who are entirely unfamiliar with the requirements of the law and who will need assistance. As a result the attorneys of this county have increased their supply of the proper forms so as to be able to ! handle the extra volume of business that will surely result Reasonable minimum rates were established for the services rendered in preparing the returns. Those persons who are obligated to file a return are urged to see their attorney early in order to avoid the last minute rush which will inevitably result. j ; Two men -were blown through a Wall into an elevator shaft and fell twelve stories to their death and another was fatally crushed Tuesday in an explosion of a giant pressure tank in the Edwal laboratories, a commercial chemical manufacturing company on the twelfth floor at .732 Federal street, Chicago. Six of thirty-two other men and women employed in the offices were injured, two seriously. The Edwal laboratories recently purchased the Bowman Dairy plant at Ringwood with intentions of beginning operations there in April, The following story, concerning the explosion, Appeared in the Chicago Tribune Wednesday morning: The tank, called an autoclave, waa being used to brew oil of mustard-- used for mustard plaster, salve, and ointment--in a process that had been carried out daily by the company in its laboratory since 1934. So little danger was connected with the process, in the opinion of the company officials, that a colored handy man was in charge of the mixing and heating of the tank. The explosion came at 2:30 p.m. while twelve women were in the business offices and twenty-three chemists and assistants in the twelve laboratory rooms. The pressure tank stood beside the west wall near the north end of the building. The explosion knocked out a partition between two windows and shattered pipes, electrical systems, water systems, chemical retorta, and apparatus and •pilled bricks in an alley back of the building. x Inside the laboratory the explosion blew in a tile and terra cotta wall of the freight elevator shaft, which passed through the center of the mala room. Firemen CUmb 12 Fleers The firemen had to walk up twelve floors because the building's elevators were put out of order by the blast. They wore gas masks for hours afterward as they cleared away debris inside the laboratory. Waldersee B. Hendrey, chief chemist of the laboratory, examined the scene with police bomb squad and fire insurance patrolmen and agreed the blast must have come from the oil of mustard tank. This vessel, made of three-quarter inch steel plate, is about five feet high and two feet in diameter, holding more than seventy gallons of liquid. It was shattered by the blast, parts of it being found thirty feet away. Hendrey said that too rapid heating of the oil of mustard compound could generate extremely high pressures within the tank, making a concussion possible.

Colebank, acting market, administrator, announced last weekthat the class one price for January deliveries of milk in the Chicago marketing area is $1,966 per hundredweight, while the class two price is $1,666 per hundredweight. The class three pri£e is $1,449 and the-class four price is $1,265. These prices, except in class three, are about 17 cents per hundredweight less than they were for December 1940 deliveries. This decrease is due to lower average prices in the Chicago butter and Plymouth, Wisconsin, cheese markets, upon which the Chicago prices are based. Chicago market averaged 30.11 cents as compared with 34.20 cents in December. Plymouth, Wisconsin Cheddars averaged 15.52 cents in January, as compared with 16.74 cents in December.
