Many different makes of machines begin to show |heir inherent weakness after a year or two, and beconH a constant .source of ex - ; V|>ense and annoyance. *\ Th« patented features and the sturdy build of the "Litchfield Spreader" makes it % long lifed machine which will stand up aud give good service long after many ; ^ther spreaders are in the scrap heap. The BULL DOG cylinder is one of the reasons for the long life, light draft and itability of "Litchfield Spreaders." This cylinder is made up of "U" section ISars with flight carbon diamond pointed steel teeth securely fastened in the bars. Each tooth - inserted into the bars hot and riveted on both sides of it. * The teeth are of different lengths and so distributed over the entire surface of ~"fhe cylinder that they take long and short digs into the load, and what the long ones '"Ho not get, the shorter ones handle as they come to it. It is just like two cylinders Working together; one cylinder working a little deeper than the other all the time. The BULL DOG cylinder hangs far enough below the spreader box so that the ^fipward stroke lifts and carries away the material Without driving it back into the |>ody of the machine. There is no "wallowirg" into the load nor does the material |>ack against the beater bars. The manufacturers claim this one patented feature would be worth more to one spreader than all the other features combined which are controlled by all other competing machines. This cylinder is found only on spreaders mauufactured by The Litchfield Mfg. Co. The man who buys a "Litchfield Spreader" combines good judgment, common sense and economy. From Oct 15 to Nov. 1 we offer a special price on the new Litchfield Spreader. Come and look it over. * McHeory Co. Farmers' Co-Op. Association PHONE/29 W. MCHENRY, ILL.

While the victory was a well deserved one, the home team on two occasions just tried to see how close they could come to making the visitors a present of the game and then turned around and pulled the conflict out of the fire in the last frame. It was one of those contests which kept the fans at a point of 100 per cent interest thruout and when Elgin tied up the count in the seventh the supporters of the visiting team went into a delirium, while the backers of the home nine did not feel so good for the time being. Strange as it may seem, the trouble in that heart rending seventh was started by one "Steve" Repas, Mc Henry's stalwart center fielder, who committed his season's first serious offense by dropping Anderson's swift fly. Repas, up until Sunday, had gone thru the season without an error. "Steve's" muff so upset Davison for a moment or two that Big "Jess" lost his cunning for a moment and as a result Elgin hopped on his delivery for two consecutive singles, which, together with Brunke's error, allowed the Elgins to score their only three runs of the game. The enemy again became dangerous in the first half of the ninth inning when a couple of errors, together with a free transportation to first, when Lee allowed one of Davison's fast ones to brush his blouse, filled the bags. But right here is wher£ Davison showed his real class as a pitcher. With the bases loaded and none gone, many a pitcher would have gone straight up, but not so witlju Mc- Henry's ace. Jess, in his cool and collected manner, looked over the situation and then by pitching the greatest ball ever witnessed in the "bushes" retired the side without a score. First he forced O'Connor to bounce an easy chance into his mitt, making the force play at the plate very easy. play the batter. Durstock dropped the peg and all hands were safe. At this juncture Blackburn also exhibited some real wares by making Davison pop to Lee, while Kosier was an easy victim for Koepping and Durstock. One hit, no runs. FIFTH INNING: Lee beat out a hit to Brunke and stole second. O'Connor struck out. Durstock was thrown out by Walczak, Lee going to third or the play. Giertz fanned. One hit, no runs. McHENRY: Ehnert was thrown out by Koepping. Walczak was whipped out by Anderson. Bailey had to be content with a double instead of a "homer" when his smash hit into the branches of a tree back of center and thus made it easy for "Lefty" O'Connor to hold the McHenry slugger on second. Brunke struck out. One hit, no runs. SIXTH INNING: Blackburn beefed like h-- when he was ruled out on strikes. Israel was thrown out by Brunke and Rogers made a pretty running catch of Koepping's line drive to right center. No hits, no runs McHENRY: Rogers dropped a double into center and then rode home on Repas' triple to right. Repas used poor judgment in trying to make home on Kingsley's roller to Anderson and was thrown out at the plate. Davison hit into a double $lay by sending: an easy "hopper" to Koepping. The latter tagged Kingsley on his way to second and threw to Durstock to complete the double killing. Two hits, one run. SEVENTH INNING: Here's a sad story. Repas dropped Anderson's fly. Anderson took third on Smith's single to right. Lee sent both runners around on a long single to right, Lee going to second on the throw to the plate. O'Connor gave Brunke an easy chance, but the latter macte a bad peg to first and as a result Lee scored from second while the batter went to second. It was a blocked ball back of first. O'Connor was then caught in an attempted steal. too good for these would-be burglars*. Durstock popped to Davison and Giertz also had something to say to ye umps after he had struck out. Two hits, three runs. McHENRY: Kosier was thrown out by Blackburn. Koepping whipped out Ehnert and Walczak lifted to Israel in right. No hits, no runs. EIGHTH INNING: Blackburn popped to Bailey. Israel was safe on Davison's error. The ball really belonged to Brunke and would have been an easy out with Joey Gross covering the hot corner. Israel was caught stealing.

Bailey, especially, took a particular liking to the big boy's delivery, socking out a home run in the very first inning, and had it not been for the big, old tree back of center field the lad would have registered another circuit drive in the fifth. Blackburn felt very uneasy with Bailey up there at the plate, As they have demonstrated thruout double killing by bouncing one into Davison's mitts, Kingsley relaying the ball to Bailey for the double out. No hits, no runs. McHENRY: With the score tied McHenry went into the last half of the ninth with blood in their eyes.

A woman, giving her name to county officials as Rose Gordon, alias Miller, alias Sullivan, alias Shannon, is an inmate of the McHenry county jail, where she is awaiting trial. The woman, in company with a man whom she claimed as her husband, appeared at the farm home of William Hacker on Grant highway near Harmony two weeks ago today, where they applied for and received employment. Hacker had occasion to leave the farm during the morning of Sunday, Sept. 28, and on his return his newly engaged hired man was missing. On questioning the woman as to what had become of the man, the farm owner was told that she did not know. While Hacker was out searhing for the man the woman also disappeared, but was later found in a corn field on the farm. The farmer also discovered that he had been victimized out of $91 in bills and some silver money. Don Hibbard, deputy sheriff of Woodstock, searched the woman and found $81.94 on her person.
