A new press and folding machine have been installed in a new pressroom which has been built in the basement under the office. The ik<w press and folder doubles the capacity of the Herald's newspaper pressroom and places the office in a position to take care of future growth. North Chicago's largest business building now completed, the San- Uiewicz building at Sheridan road and Foss Park avenue, was recently sold to Attorney J. A. Miller and Joe Meyer of Waukegan for a reported consideration of $160,000. The sale was handled by Harold J. 'Tallett of the real estate firm of Tallett and Janson in North Chicago. A victim of his sense of duty, Matt Hoff Jr., aged 45 years, of Waukegan, engineer in the employ of the Arapi* can Steel & Wire Company received scalds, recently that resulted in his death. While cause of the tragedy occurrence has not been definitely determined, it is known that he was standing in the path of a flow of steam which rushed out frfrtti a value on a condenser on the roof of the power plant at the mill which had been opened accidentally. Although scalded from head to foot it is believed that he braved the rush of steam and closed the value. CREAM SEPARATORS FIND READY SALE SPREADING POLITICAL BUNK AT WOODSTOCK Producers Said To Be Satisfied With New Plan Milk producers throughout the Me- Henry district, those who have not tested herds and whose milk has been barred from Chicago by the order of Health Commissioner Bundesen, are reported to be separating the cream and selling to butter companies. At least fifty separators are said to have been sold here recently. And the farmers who have gone to the new plan of separating are reported very well pleased with the result. Of course, they do not claim to be making quite as touch out of their milk as heretofore, but as soon as they get organized to get into the hog raising on a larger scale, it is said they can make fully as much or more money. : Figuring on a basis of 3.5 milk, the butter companies are paying approximately $1.65 per hundred. That is, the average price for butter fat now is forty-seven cents per pound and with three and one-half pounds of fat to 100 pounds of milk would make the price for it $1.64*4. It is estimated that it costs the farmer about twenty- five cents to deliver his milk to tho factory. This saving added to the butter fat price would make $1.90. The agricultural colleges figure the skim milk worth fifty cents per 100 when fed warm to hogs. Figuring it at forty cents, which is thought to be very conservative, would bring the price to $2.30 per 100 pounds of milk, as against $2.50 the farmers received for their milk at the factory. The above figures were given The Plaindealer by a milk producer who stated he was ready, to back up his estimate. . Bundesen claims he is getting tested milk and enough to meet the demand in Chicago. The farmers claim there is much bootlegging of milk, so the people in the big city do not know what they are getting. Timt? Judge Barnes spread some political bunk atf Woodstock when he sent out word throughout the county that he had been endorsed by the W. C. T. U. in that city. Friends of Judge Smiley from Harvard immediately made an investigation and found Barnes' scheme had been to arrange a meeting of a group of his supporters among the women, several of whom were paid workers, j will tell, and the producers are play- A ballot was taken in^this iheeting j jn<r a waiting game. which naturally resulted in his favor. The word was then broadcast to W. C. T. U. organizations in other towns in the hope of capturing the "dry" vote among the women from Judge Smiley. Barnes followed this up by sending literature to "dry" voters, attacking j Smiley's record as a "dry." He charged that "wet" voters are supporting Allen. He made no mention of Percy's big fees which have caused so much comment among the voters KENT & COMPANY TO REOPEN OFFICE Announcement I desire to announce my candidacy for the office of alderman in the secnod Ward in the city of McHenry, at the coming election on Tuesday, April 20.

A SCHOOLBOY ARGUMENT Judge Barnes in his advertisements figured that -if there were only nine voters and they divided 3 for Allen, 2 for Casey, 2 for Smiley and 2 for himself, Allen would win,, whereas if the Smiley and Casey voters would cast their lot with Barnes, he would Can anyone tell us why a Smiley or Casey voter should switch to Barnes ? I According to Barnes' own figures Casey and Smiley would have the same chance to win that Barnes has. Why doesn't he throw his votes to either Smjley or Casey and thus settle the squabble, if he thinks iUis so important to defeat Allen. According to the present outlook the proportion for Allen in McHenry township will be about 2 oV 3 for Allen to 1 for Barnes on primary day. The voters are still wondering why Percy Barnes should get such big fees in his father's court. Do the other lawyers have to split or what is the <iopc ? If Allen gets 3,000 votes, Casey 2,000, Smiley 2,000 and Barnes 2,000, k? then "Paw" and Percy won't have to I 4* worry about those big fee^ any longer.
