Dairymen in McHenry county did oyer a six million dollar business with the Borden and Bowman milk companies during 1942. The three Borden plants, located in Marengo, Hebron and Woodstock, paid farmers more money than the 6even Bowman plants located in Big Foot, Harvard, Crystal Lake, McHenry, Ringwood, Algonquin and Huntley. Borden" paid farmers in this county a total of $3,049,834, while Bowman paid $2,961,392.16. Add to these figures the money paid by independent dealers and co-operatives and McHenry county's income from the sale of milk would probably run another half million dollars or more. They produce something else besides gbod basketball players in the Hebron community. Hebron topped all centers with a $1,115,200 income from «the sale o f milk. This was a shade higher than Woodstock where farmers received $1,078,410. Hebron Top® Field McHenry county always has been one of the largest milk producing counties in the world. At one time Huntley used to hold the spotlight as being the largest milk producing community. In recent years the honor has gone to Hebron with Woodstock being a close second.

The designation, "Services of Supply, U. S. A." appears in gold letters on the red circle just below the eagle. Manufactured in bright metal and enamel, the size of the badge may be determined by the individual organization, except that the head and shoulders of theeagle may not exceed one and onequarter inches. Officers will center the insignia on the shoulder loops when they are wearing the service coat. When the shirt is worn the badge will be placed on the left side, of the collar, one inch from the end. Enlisted men will wear the badge on the lapels of the service coat but when the shirt is worn the Larger Than France itself Larger by 19,000 square miles than France itself, French Morocco composes the bulk of the Sultanate of Morocco, which includes also Spanish Morocco and the International Zone of Tangier, on the Strait of Gibraltar.

Morocco's Leading Port Casablanca: The chief western station of a railroad running through the three countries of French North Africa, Casablanca is also Morocco's leading port and largest city. Its 350-acre harbor handles more than half of the country's exports and 70 per cent of the imports. Since France took possession 35 years ago, the port has received some $65,000,000 worth of harbor improvements, and the tonnage of shipments has increased more than 15 times.

Its splendid harbor is the best in 2,000 miles of northeast African coast. Being the only French port in a 5,000-mile range from Tunisia to Madagascar, it has been of increasing importance throughout its 55-year history as a ship coaling and servicing point for French trade from Marseille to the Far East. The Franco-Ethiopian railroad, only rail outlet for Ethiopia, is the other major factor that has contributed to Djibouti's importance. Built by degrees from 1898 to 1917, this line reaches 486 miles inland and 8,100 feet upland to A(|dis Ababa, capital and hub of Ethiopia. It normally carries most of Ethiopia's exports of coffee, salt^,ivory, hides, aad wax. • •- ' . The Beautiful WIOVAI! mm CRYSTAL LAKE. ILL. McHenry Co'*.
