Compiled bly A. H. Mosher • frfr-M-M-M-M-M" FORTY YEARS AGO From Issue of Sept. 16, 1915 Freeman Whiting Dead-- Freeman Whiting, one of McHenry county's oldest and most widely known residents, passed away at his late home, about three miles northwest of town, on Monday of this week, aged 93 years, 8 months and 5 days. Farmers" Sign Up-- ^ Yesterday was contract day at The local as well as all other Borden factories in this district. The Borden company offered, an average of $1.75 a hundred pounds for the six months beginning Oct. 1, for milk testing 3.6 per cent butterfat. Patrons of the McHenry factory signed up without the least bit of resistance and from all reports this same condition - existed everywhere. Items of JLoeal Interest-- Butter on the Elgin board of trade sold at 24 cents per pound last Saturday. The recent rains and heavy Automobile traffic have left our streets in very bad condition. The workmen are still at work on the Borden property in Centerville. A big improvement is already noticeable. Mr. ana Mrs. Henry Heimer have removed to this village from Janesville, Wis., and will go to housekeeping in the Gage house on the West Side. "What's he doing, trying to scare us?" was the remark made by a woman occupant of an automobile after the driver had been warned by a village officer for not going around one of the guide posts the right way. This .happened in McHenry last Sunday. 1 First Dividend- Judge Edward D. Shurtleff entered an order in the circuit court last Saturday, directing Theodore Hamer, receiver of the Citizens State Bank of McHenry, to pay a dividend of 10 per cent to all depositors and creditors of this defunct institution. This is the first dividend that this bankQ has been able to pay. George A. Stevens- George Arthur Stevens was born on a farm one mile north of Ringwood, known as Ladd's corners, on July 1, 1859. He died suddenly at his home in Ringwood after a heart attack of only, a few moments' duration, on Aug. 28, 193.0, aged 71 years', 1 month and 28 days. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO From Issue of Sept. 4, 1930 200 iStudents, High School-- Vacation days for the boys and girls of McHenry came to an end on Tuesday when the old school bell rang again after three months of quiet and the youngsters of grade and high school age may again be seen going to school with books under their arms. The largest freshman class has enrolled this year with a total of sixty-three members and brings the total enrollment of the school up to 200 students, j which breaks the record and shows, an increase of over 100 per cent in eight years in attendance. TEN YEARS AGO From Issue of August 30, 1945 Schoolmates-- The annual reunion of a group of old schoolmates of many years ago was held last Saturday afternoon at the McHenry Country club. Seventeen ladies ^enjoyed a 1:30 luncheon, followed by several hours during which they reminisced about pigtail days in the local schools. Those present were Mrs. Lillian Sayler, Mrs. Mabel Johnson, Mrs. Fannie Thompson, Miss Maud Granger, Miss Clara Stoffel, Mrs. Julia Reihansperger, Miss Florence Carey of McHenry, Mrs. Florence Alexander of Hebron, Miss Villa Smith of Elgin, Mrs. Agnes Jencks, Mrs. Ruby Shepard, Mrs. Rose Jepsen and Mrs. Myrtle Harrison of'Ringwood, Mrs. Ella Walkup, Mrs. Nellie McDonald and Mrs. Hazel Belcher of Woodstock and Hettie Reichow of Chicago. Freund-Pitzen-- One of Johnsburg's returning veterans entered the holy bonds of matrimony last week Wednesday, Aug. 22, when Paul Pitzen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick S. Pitzen of Pistakee Bay, took as his bride Miss Virginia Freund, daughter of Mrs. John P. Freund. Rev. A. J. Neidert officiated at the 9 o'clock ceremony performed in St. John's church. Thought For The Day-- "Bed is a bundle of paradoxes; we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it With regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late."---Colton.

W- Hunt Company (who made this series of tests] stated: "We ran several speed studies--comparing 3 g modern flame-type ranges against 3 modern electric ranges. One electric surface unit boiled a quart of water. |n 5 minutes and 31 seconds. That was 56 seconds faster than the Wst flame-type burner tested, We made twenty-one tests in all. Results showed that the three electric ranges averaged 40 seconds faster than the three flametype ranges." (All ranges tested were top brands.) The answer: Nothing cooks faster than today's electric ranges! If you have to get meals in a hurry, you know speed is important. But modern electric cooking offers more than speed. For instance, when you cook vegetables the waterless electric way, the flavor is all there! And don't worry about scorching, because the electric unit heats the pan evenly. There's no cooler way to cook than with a new electric range. Electric ovefts are so well insulated they keep your kitchen up to 10 degrees cooler than flame-type. Heard about our New Installation Plan? It can save you important money on installation of a new electric range. The Plan is available at all appliance dealers' and Commonwealth Edison or Public Service Company stores. Makes Owning an electric range so reasonable there really isn't any reason to wait.
