In the evening of the same day, the son was also engaged in celebrating when in some manner his overalls caught fire and before the blaze was extinguished part of his body was very badly burned.

The National Farm Loan As* soclation of Woodstock recently recently received a dividend check of $11,300. This, according to Ralph L. Ostrander, secretarytreasurer of the association, represents a regular dividend of 5 per cent and a special 10 per cent dividend of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis. These dividends are possible because of the earnings of the Federal Land Bank. Since the latter is a cooperative institution, the earnings are passed o'a to .the member associations, t^he territory served by the St. Louis band are the states of Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas and all of stock of the Land Bank is owned by the associations in the territory. Mr. Ostrander said that he thought most of the $11,300 would be put into reserves of the local association and that some of it would be used for running expenses. The balance will be distributed as a dividend to the members of the association. This amoun Iwill be determined by the the board of directors and will b$ announced in July. It is hoped that the dividend checks can be mailed to the 221 stock members of the association before the end of July. The local association served farmers in Lake and McHenry counties.

Prints from the earliest known view of the Falls in 1697 through the 19th century are on display, with books and maps, all from the society's own collection. The first known view of Niagara, called the Hennipen View published in 1697, has been the model for many of the later prints. Father Louis Hennipin, a French Missionary, first visited and described the Falls in, 1678. It was not until 1842 that the first survey map of the Falls, was made by the U.s: Coast Survey. Among the prints on exhibit are a series of Six hahd-colored views by George Catlin. famous 19th century Indian painter,^ scenes by John Vanderlyn, one of the first Americans to paint the Falls in 1804, and a print showing Minsieur Blondin, famous French tight-rope walker, crossing the Niagara- Cataract iti 1859. Nearly every country, including the English, the French and the Germans, portrayed the- Falls long before Americans gave particular attention to them. In 1872, Currier and Ives finally published a print of Niagara Falls from the Canada side, shown in the society's exhibit. Niagara Falls was named from, an Iroquios Indian word meaning^ 'thunder water". In 1931 a million cubic feet of rock fell from the brink, tUgfclir tour.
