WALSH m McHENRY, ILLINOIS MILK SITUATION Appear Satisfied With Marketing • Coonipeiiy ieMfiy's Elgin Courier! * Despite the decision of dairymen to sell their product thru the Milk Producers' Co-operative Marketing company, indications were today that there would be as much competition among dealers in the Elgin district as in former years. That the out­ put will nqt exceed the demand is almost certain. Closing of Borden's Elgin and Dun­ dee plants is not expected to result in the elimination of the condensing company from the local market. It was learned that the Borden company is still to be classed with the big dealers thruout this district. All pld patrons are to be taken care of. Milk that cannot be used at the malted milk plant will be shipped- to Belvi- dere. Superintendents of the Borden fac­ tories were in session in Chicago all day yesterday. What action was taken, however, is not being an­ nounced. It was explained that the price to be paid for "February milk was .not discussed/ the company hav­ ing decided to wait and liear the de­ mands of the producers.. "The company is yet to announce its plans for this vicinity," said the superintendent of the St. Charles plant. "It is probable, however, that dairymen in the Elgin district, who have been selling milk to our com­ pany, will find a ready market. The company expects to contract for con­ siderable Elgin milk, which will be shipped to Belvidere." The St. Charles factory is being worked to capacity and no milk will be shipped to it from this district. It is not receiving the entire Algon­ quin output, canning having ceased there nine months ago. The Mc- Henry county plant, however, is still being operated. E. S. Eno, who has had charge of the local condensing plant for a num­ ber of years, will continue to super­ intend the Elgin business for the Borden company. It is understood that the malted milk plant will be used as a receiving station for the district., Altho &• co-operative marketing company received the unanimous support ef the 500 delegates from Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana here Monday, a survey of the district shows that few contracts have al­ ready been signed. The dairymen, it is said, are reluctant in contracting to market their milk at an unknown price.- Meetings are being called over the entire dairy district to explain in detail to farmers the working plans of the co-opferative company. "From what I can hear the dairy­ men are all enthusiastic over the co­ operative plan," explained F. H. Reese, treasurer, of the Milk Pro­ ducers' association. "It looks as tho the farmers would stick together as solidly as they did two years ago when they were successful in secur­ ing higher prices for their product. The co-operative company will do just as much for them now as the association did then." 1 It had been expected that plans would be taken to open a branch plant of the company in Elgin, but the delegate meeting Monday was adjourned before the question was reached. OUR BOYS IN SERVICE Catinfaal Deafness Cannot Be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diMIHd portion of the ear. There la only oaa way to cure catarrhal deafnew, «nd that la by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In- flamtd condition of the mucous lining of tha Suataohlaa Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling: sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless tha Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will ba destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur­ faces. Ball's Catarrh Cure acts thru tha blood on the mucous surfacea of the sys- tern. We will five One Hundred Dollars fo# any case of Catarrhal Deafness that c&nnct bo cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars Irs*. All Pruagists. 78c. jr. j. cgjwiBT a co..

Private William Niesen, who re­ cently received his honorable dis­ charge from army service, has been a guest in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Niesen, here. He will return to his old job at Kenosha, where he has been employed during the past several years. Lieut. Arnold F. Mueller writes to his friends here that he expects to be home some time in the near future to resume his practice at Johnsburg. The doctor, since his entry into the medical corps of the United States army, has been stationed at Colum­ bia, S. C., and was in line for a cap­ taincy at the time the armistice came. Thos. Doherty returned to his home south of this village last Thurs­ day evening, having been given his honorable discharge from army ser­ vice. Thomas left here last May and saw his first training' under the hot suns at Camp Shelby, Miss., from which point he was transferred to Camp Upton and thence to France. He left France for home on Dec. 15. Ifrs. James N. Sayler is in receipt of a letter written by Harry Galla- her, who is with the 312th field sig­ nal battalion in France. With the letter he , also • enclosed a fate well letter to the members of the battalion from the chief signal officers, in which the latter commended the boys on their work "over there." Harry adds that the boys did their work in thirty per cent of the time allotted them. Lieut. Paul . Barbian has received his honorable discharge and reached his home in this village on Tuesday evening of this week. Paul enlisted in the aviation and received' his training in southern camps, where, after months of hard training and study, he won his commission some time ago. The young bird man in­ forms us that there is something fascinating about flying that keeps« one longing for a trip up into the cloths. Math. W. Schaid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Schaid, who reside east of this village, near Slocum's lake, is again at his home from arnjy service, having received his ^ honorable dis­ charge at Camp Grant. Math, left his home on Sept. 6 of last year and received his first training at Camp Grant On Nov. 5 he was trans­ ferred to Camp McArthur, Texas. He returned to Camp Grant on Jan. 5, where he received his discharge, and arrived at his home on Wednes­ day of last week. FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN Coming This Spring Will Be Known Secretary of the Treasury* Carter Glass has officially announced from Washington that the name of the next <fifth) war loan will be the "Victory Liberty Loan." Originally it had been planned to call the next issue the "Fifth Liberty Loan, Victory. Issue,"'but Secretary Glass, after giving the matter due consideration, finally brought forth the happy, combination "Victory Lib­ erty Loan." , i So "Victory Liberty Loan" it is and it is believed that every worker will be inspired with renewed zeal to back it up to a victorious finish, and every consistent American patriot with the determination either to start saving or continue to save in order to acquire "Victory Liberty" bonds when they are offered next spring and thus con­ tribute to two patriotic ends, vi*..: 1. Bring the victors how*. < jiff 2. Finish the job. # * ^ The honor flag of the "Victory 1LH>- erty Loan" will bear a blue "V" on a white field, surrounded by a red bor­ der, the "V" donating both "five" (fifth loan) and "victory."
