These same animals met on the ice at Wauconda a few weeks ago, at which time the McHenry horse won out, but the owner of the losing horse could not make himself believe that Hughes had anything on him, the esult being that the meeting for yes­ terday was arranged. The Wauconda man, determined to win, had glfgaged the services of an expert driver of Palatine, but even this change wasn't enough, for Hughes, afte^ losing the first heat by a nose, came back and won the sec­ ond and third, the last heat terminat­ ing into a walk-away for the McHen­ ry horse. We rae informed that considerable betting took place and as a conse- queftce several perfectly good cart wheels changed hands after the race was over and the judges had declared the winner. ' Needless to say that Mr. Hughes, the owner and driver of the winning horse, feels very much elated over his victory, as he has 'now convinced the followers of the ponies in Mc­ Henry and vicinity that his steed is "some there" and he is in possession of a airighty good piece of horse flesh.

Nyf is at- Nearly Two Hundred Soil Tillers Gather--Cow Testing Subject Proves Interesting The farmers' meeting, held at Stoffel's hall last Saturday afternoon, was well attended, nearly two hun­ dred farmers being in attendance. A few of the ladies were present and found the meeting a most interest­ ing affair, enjoying tile talks on farm production fully as well as did the farmers themselves; tho not quite as enthusiastic. W. J. Walsh acted as chairman and after a few introductory remarks introduced A. L. Tupple of the State University, who explained the re­ quirements and results of a cow testing association, which the farm­ ers are pnxious to organize. We hereby submit members' agree­ ment, to which several attached their names: Member's Agreement Whereas, the McHenry Co-opera­ tive Cow Testing association is or ganized for the purpose of providing means for the co-operation of its members in ascertaining the rela­ tive merits of their cows, and in the economical production of dairy pro­ ducts; and Whereas, the association agrees, from monthly tests (twenty-four hours in length) made by an em­ ploye of the association, to furnish each member with a record of the individual performance of each ani­ mal subscribed, and to advise the members in regard to economical feeding and the improvement of their herds; and ( Whereas, we, by the act of affix­ ing our signatures below, express our desire of becoming members of said association, for the object above stated: * Now therefore, in consideration of our admission to membership and the service above mentioned, we make this agreement with said association and with the other persons who are now or shall hereafter become mem­ bers of said association; We severally agree and promise to pay to the treasurer of the associa­ tion the sum of ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS ($1.50) for one year's record of each and every one of the cows in our respective herds as en­ tered below opposite our signatures; with the following provisos, namely, that the charge for one herd shall not be less than FIFTEEN DOL­ LARS ($15.00) and that the tester shall not test more than THIRTY (30) cows in one day, but shall give two or more days' service each month, in proportion to the number of cows in the herd, if larger than thirty; and we severally agree to pay for the yearly records of our herds on this basis. It is agreed that the rate of payment for additional cows entered after the year is begun shall be fifteen cents (15c) per month per Woodstock, who would endorse all that Mr. Tupper had said. He gave many facts regarding the feeding, housing and testing of cows that must have been very beneficial to the •farmer and he stood ready to answer iany question in regard to cattle, seed, soil and all subjects pertaining to fa$m life. Amid cheers from his audience, W. J. Kittle took the floor and ex­ plained nis co-operative milk market­ ing plan. Needless to say, he was given the closest attention and tho question after question was fired he did not attempt to dodge one of them. Many facts in regard to the milk sit­ uation were set forth and the farm­ ers knew that for the past year with the price. averaging $2.00 per hun­ dred they were not breaking even and the price must once more be raised when the directors met at Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

HIGHS WIN AT HEBROK Locate Defeated Hebron With Ease Last Friday Night The McHenry high school basket ball team went to Hebron last Fri­ day night, where they defeated the local high school five to the merry tune of 36 to 5, the McHenry team playing in the very best form that they have displayed this season. For a time it looked as if Hebron would give the McHenry boys a hard tussle. In. fact the two teams played on quite even terms during the first half of the game, which end­ ed 9 to 3, with McHenry in the lead. In the beginning of the second half McHenry looked like an entirely dif­ ferent outfit, the prides of our vil­ lage playing rings around their op­ ponents and scoring baskets almost at will. McHenry Itfied 6ut their new cen* ter, Meyers, who shoWed exceptional ability for a youngster just breaking into the game. He threw three field goals besides using very good judg­ ment in signal work. Bacon also played fi, star game, caging a total of eight field goals and two free enjoyed a steady growth until today it represents one of the best small town drug store propositions in the state. The new owner comes to McHenry very highly recommended. During the past year he has followed his vocation at Milwaukee, Wis., WhUe for eight years previous to that time he conducted a drug store at Hins­ dale, 111. He is a young main of pleasing ap|>earance and we haven't the slightest doubt but that he will cqpduct the business along the same successful lines as his predecessor. In an interview with the new pro­ prietor the writer was informed that a number of important changes < are contemplated some time between now and the opening of the summer season, prominent. among which is the installation of a new soda foun­ tain. Mr. Vogt brought with him Arthur W. Groom, who will act as his assis­ tant Like the proprietor, Mr. Groom is also a young man of pleasing ad­ dress and judging from the manner in which they took hold of the busi­ ness on Monday the future success of the place is assured. Mr. McAllister is still undecided as to his future plans, altho he and his estimable wife will remain residents of this village for the present Mr. McAllister is anxious to dispose rif his home, the former McOmher prop­ erty, before moving away. However, • that should prevail between cow or $1.50 per cow for the remaind- schools and it is to be regretted that throws for a total of eighteen points, or one-half of the total points made J should he be unsuccessful in this, will probably rent the place until such a tithe as a purchaser may ke found. Our people will be sorry to lose Mr. and Mrs. McAllister, as they have been such excellent citizens since coming to McHenry. While both will be missed in business as well as social circles, their absence will be most keenly felt within the circles of the M. E. church, where both have been such zealous workers ever since taking up their residence here. While we are sorry to note Mr. McAllister's latest move, The by the McHenry squad. The bal­ ance of the team played ah excep tionally strong game. In fact, the very best of the present playing season. The game ended 36 to 5, Hebron making but two points dur­ ing the second half of the contest While the game, from a Hebron standpoint of view, was a sad disap­ pointment, the team as well as the fans treated the McHenryites most royally, the Hebron boys serving the .McHenry people with lunch after the game. This is the sort of spirit all er of the year, We agree that if any cow in the test dies or is sold from the herd be­ fore the year is ended, there shall be no reduction in the amount 'to be the good fellowship as shown by Heb­ ron does not exist generally.
