Although it did no serious damage in this vicinity the wind and rain storm bf unusual intensity which swept northern Illinois over the weekend worked havoc in other districts and damaged light and telephone wires as a result of crashing trees and limbs. The flood of rain set a new record in this vicinity for twenty-four hours' precipitation this year and was only exceeded by the cloudburst .total which fell on Aug. 20 of last year. The rain, which continues daily, is of great value to crops, lawns and. gardens and the familiar hum of lawn mowers is again heard after a silence during the dry, summer months. It is generally agreed tftat the heavy rains will mean good silage corn, despite the drfluth of June and July. It has also saved pastures from burning up .and will make a second crop of hay. Drouth and heat damage to the Illinois corn crop was halted by the rains and some fairly good yields of com are in prospect where the widely scattered showers followed late July and early August rains, according to agricultural reports. The most damaging portion of the storm struck Saturday evening, caus-. ing greater damage farther south in the Fox River Valley. Accompanied by a high wind the storm left the country without lights and caused, auton obile accidents.

INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES • Just as the cackling of gee»e saved Rome centuries ago, so did the quacking of ducks save the O. E. Terhune farm near Wadsworth from thieves recently. The quacking awakened Mrs. TerhUne who saw the thieves run from the barn and escape in an automobile. Lightning killed a horse near the C. W. Martin Boulder building at Cross Lake during the electrical storm Friday night of last week. The animal which was valued at $200, was found dead Saturday morning in the grating pasture about 150 feet from the woodland plot. Insurance covered the loss. O. T.

He was the third official to fall victim to the traffic drive. Others were Atty. Geo. D. Carbary and M. U, Brightman, city commissioner.. . The, parking problem in Elgin for oyt of town shoppers has always been a serious one and now it appears impossible. Perhaps Elgin does not care fot the trade of out-of-town shoppers. Surely they do not show it by courtesy Tn" parking rules. Why not trade at home, folks, where there is plenty of parking space, where you are familiar with parking rules, and where your home merchants are eager to serve you? I You can find nearly everything you need right here in McHenry. There are stores for men, dress shops, carrying the latest styles for women, tailor shops, gift shops, groceries, dry goods stores, bakeries", a fruit" store, a hat shop, all ready and waiting to give you courteous and .satisfactory service. • Try it, folks.

The loss was partially covered by insurance. The lights had flickered occasionally during the milking, according to Mr. Wilkinson, but no attention was paid to them. Just as the milking was finished the tenant, who was in the milk house, noticed sparks coming from the end of the barn. Neighbors and the Sharon fire department respionded to the' call for help, but the flames had gained such headway in the dry building that the structure was doomed. All of the farm machinery, horses and cattle were taken to safety. The newly threshed grain was stored in the adjacent granary. The fact that a light breeze was blowing away from the residence and other farm buildings permitted the firemen and neighbors to keep the blaze from spreading. Watch was kept during the night until the heavy rain at midnight aided ij^ putting out the flames in the hay.
