The ballot for the township election was determined Monday, March 8, the deadline for withdrawals. The city election this year will be held on Tuesday, April 15. A candidate for re-election is R. I. Overton, who is again seeking the position as mayor. Earl R. Welsh, who has served one term as city clerk, filed his name under that heading again this year. To succeed the city treasurer, Robqrt L. Weber, the name of Gerald J. Carey will appear on the ballot. The terms of all three aldermen have almost terminated, *nd once more the^ are seeking the responsible position. They are: Jos. M. Regner of the first ward; A. E. Nye of the second ward and George P. Freund of the third ward. There were no candidate filings for the office of police magistrate. Thus, when the voters go to the polls on April 15, it is likely that there will b* a write-in for this office. No opposition was given the candidates in the township election, who will appear on the ballot when voters cast their decisions on Tuesday, April 1, 1941, under the heading of the Citizen's party. Robert J. Conway, who has been filling the office of town clerk by appointment since the death of M. J. Walsh, is a candidate on the ticket. Up for re-election as township assessor is Joseph N. Schmitt, who has fulfilled his duties capably in this office for several years. Three justices of the peace an to be elected in the township. Albert Krause and Sibre D. Whiting are already serving in this capacity, while Arnold Anderson filed as a candidate to succeed the late Eber E. Bassett. Constables will be three in number. Frank C.

Since there has been no third candidate for the office of constable, the position on the ballot will I be blank, subject to a write-in. . -- your affairs. { Mr. Lbuterbach, reporting in detail • «n each department in the Pure Milk 'association's central office, said the -Hales department is now selling sey GEO VALES ROBBED IN CHICAGO OF $1,000 AO&ORDION, RECORDER enty-five co-operating dealers in the Chicago area, servicing them as no other co-operative in the market is road track for a distance of two blocks before the train stopped.

COUNTY'S DAIRY FARMS COMPRISE TWO MILLION DOLLAR MILK INDUSTRY McHenry county's dairy farms make; up better than a two million dollar j industry, it was revealed recently in I figures released by the statistical de- j partment of the Bowman Dairy com- j pany showing payments for milk to j McHenry county farmers in 19401 totalling $1,995,266.

The McHenry county payments represent almost fifty per cent of a total of $4,243,645 paid for milk by Bowman to farmers throughout Illinois during the past year, the figures show. The next highest payment was in Boone county where farmers received $943,403 or approximately twenty-one per cent of the Illinois total.

A petition to probate the will was filed in the circuit clerk's office las>t week. The estate one of the first to be filed in the local circuit court in many years, names Judge Henry L. Cowlin as the principal heir. It was for this reason the estate was transferred from the county court to the circuit court because Judge Cowlin is the presiding iudge of the probate court. Drawn December 31, 1936, the will provides that after the payment of funeral exoenses and deduction of any sum that be due the state because Hillebrand received old age assistance, the rest of the estate is to go to Judge Cowlin.

The idea of organising a chorus In McHenry has arisen several times, but realising the difficulties of interesting a successful group, the idea was always dropped. Last fall it arose again in the minds of a few persons who were certain that enough voices were available for a good chorus. Never iusiuK hope, they went through the discouraging part of organizing. believing that if it could only be started it would go steadily ahead and in time prove a real asset to the community. Since the group started on December 9 with twenty-three members present, many have joined and a few have dropped out. The organization now consists of thirty members who feel that the pleasure and the degree of proficiency acquired in working on this program were worth the many hours of work spent in preparing it. Next week a picture of the group, clad in maroon robes, will arpear with its two accompanists. Mrs. Carl W«>ber and Mrs. Charles Goodell and its director, Miss Adele Froehlich. The program will also be printed. A large crowd would do much to encourage this group to continue • worth while organization which should b» a pleasure to both participants and the community in general in the years to come. t* .SliS , • CASE CONTINUED Judge Henry L.
