VOLUME XXXVI--NUMBER 46. The letter uncovered yesterday by detectives working on a solution of the mysteriqus burning of Miss Elfrieda Knaak, Deerfield Sunday school teacher, was labeled as a "crank note" by State's Attornby A. ¥. Smith today. KNAAK NOTE IS WORK OF CRANK SMITH THINKS No trace has been found of the sender B. E. (Lock), Col.. Smith stated, and he added that he does not believe that the author will be tound. The letter reads in full: . "Libertyville, lll., Oct, 9. 1928.-- My Dear Fritzie: 1 haven't forgot-- ten you told me not to write, but 1 am just this once, regardless of what happens.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE URGED BY DR. RAWLINGS Stressing the necessity of sate guarding the health of the commun-- ity by organized campaigns against disease Dr, Isaac Rawlings, head of the state health department, yester-- day addressed members of the Lake County AntfTabrculosis society at the county building. Last year, he pointed out, there were 59 deaths from tuberculosis in the county. That would require a 60 bed hospital to successfully com-- bat the plague. As it is the county offers for 16 beds in the tubercular building and these are always taken. State Health Head Addresses Meeting of Lake Co.

The new era for Millburn, and of which we nave so frequéntly spoken in our paper of late, came off as an-- nounced on Wednesday last, at Strang's Corners. We did not get so early a start we intended, consequently did not arrive on the ground until about noon. Some distance from the live-- ly scene on our way thither, could. be observed the lively crowd, for it was a crowd of people bustling about and going to and fro, the younger portion of the male mem-- bers trying the metal of their fa-- vorite Bays and Greys, and each striving apparently with the other a: to who could contribute the most in making the first fair a lively and merry one. The sight in the dis-- tance was truly enlivening and in-- vigorating, and we longed to be on the spot to take part in the exer-- cises 'of the ijay, and mingle with our solid friends of the Millburn neighborhocd. . . . We were very soon on the ground, and were never more surprised than to see the num-- ber of persons there were present to see the show, and the large quan-- tity of stock and other articles to be seen. The area marked out for the exhibition was in the large field, '*bounded on the north by Mill creek Toad and on the west by the high-- way: leading north .through -- this thriving village, and nearly in front of Mr. George Strang's residence* A track was staked off and a fur-- row plowed round so as to indicate distinctly its size, as well as to ad-- BIG EXPERIMENT IS STARTED T0 INCREASE -- CORN Urbana--Champaign, I!l., Nov. 14.-- What is thought to be the greatest corn experiment ever~attempted by Use of--Corn Stalks in-- Indus-- try Will Increase Profits 1 to> the Farmers GROW BETTER _ CORN an individual or an experiment sta-- tion is that of Harvey J.,Sconce of Sidwell, a University of lIllinois graduate, claes of 1898.

He has a national reputa-- tion as a scientific farmer and his Sconce estimates that there are some 274,000 acres of corn within easy reach of the factory and that something like a quarter of a million dollars will be paid to farmers for their stalks this fall --an amount which means a great deal to the ag-- riculturally depressed. . farm near Sidell, II1., a few miles south -- of the new manufacturing plant has been the subject of many newspaper and magazZine articles.

The work is under the supervision of J. W. Nemoyer, resident engineer. The plant was designed by Pearse, Gree-- »y and Hanson of Chicago. UNIT -- IN Construction is about 80 per cent complete. The major part of the concrete 'O{k is done and backfill-- ing will statt next week. The 27-- lnch outfall sewer has been cqm-- pleted with the exception of the out-- {all structure into the lake. The sanitary district is spending about $25,000 in putting in the 0o:t-- fall sewer, which will ertend into Lake Michigan, a distance of 150 feet at the foot of Twenty--ninth atreet. The Zion plant is a unit in an ex-- tensive 'sanitary systém stretching along the north shore of Lake Mich-- igan, being the eighth plant erected in the North Shore Sanitary--district. The others are located respectively at Highland Park, Highwood, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, North Chicago, and Waukegan, two hbaving been built at the city first named. The plant at Zion is the fifth erected by Mr. Nemoyer. The Zion plant is designed to care for a population of 7,500,. It com-- prises a écreen and grit chamber, settling tanks of the Imho{f type, sludge beds, and the contact taenk. In the latter, the' chiorine dosing machinery is automitic so that a kiven ratio of sewage is majut@ined 24 how s a day, the. ratio being 50 pounds of chlorine to a million gal-- lons of sewage flowing through the [,lnk. This is about 15 times the percentage of chlorine used in chlo-- rinating water supplies for Lake shore cities. _ The plant will remove from 60 to 80 per cent of the solid matter in the sewage, this product being drawn off into the sludge beds where it will dry, forming an excel-- lent and odorless fertilizer for lawn and gardens. _ \ After the sewage has been dosed with chlorine, 99 per cent of the bacteria in it will have been de-- stroyed end it then will pass into the lake 85 per cent pure, or as free from impurities as ordinary. lake water. Hence, these modern plants for the scientific disposal of sewage are a great step forward in civilization, preventing contamination of river and lake water, rendering our bath-- ing beaches sanitary, and making it possible for fish once'more to exist in' their native element without ex-- posu.e tqo filth. > With a gaping wound in his side caused when a charge of shot from a shotgun in the hands of a friend tore through his body, Harry Robel, aged 35 years, of 1816 North Wash-- tenaw avenue, Chicago, in an acci-- dent near Wauconda, this morning, was removed to the Palatine hospi-- tal in a dying condition.
