Commission, which is administering •7^ the drouth loan program in the seven- ... ty-^eyen counties of the state recently designated in the secondary drouth s>rea by the United States Department of Agriculture. The program is unxler tlte supervision of J. H. Lloyd, a1*- ..^Isistanftdirector of the Illinois Depart- *mert e»Agriculture, who at ttje direction of Governor Horner, was recently •? .appointed director of drouth relief for the Commission. TfaHMministration of the program ' in MSilRnry county .is under the supervision of the McHenry County Emergency Relief Convm! tt«e, wtfose Relief Administrator, Mrs. Gretta Marsh is ii> direct charge. In accordance "with the procedure adopted in acting on applications for grants of feed or - - seed when the drouth program was launched, the cohnty relief officials - wilT work in co-operation with County "Farm Adviser W. A. Harrington, and ' members of the McHenry County Farm Debt Adjustment Committee, consisting of Al. Smith, Jake Olhrich, . . A1 Nolan, Nels Pearson, J. B. Richardson. For a farmer in McHenry county to be eligible for a drouth relief loan, he must, as a result of the drouth, be in need of feed for his livestock . and/ojr seed for replanting forage ...>_Crept;j and must he without cash or credit facilities with which to provide these needs. While a farmer who has received a grant may also, if his needs warrant it, receive a loan, the value of his grant plus thei amount of his loan must not exceed $200. .Farmers in the county who can qualify for loans through-the Proeduction Credit Association of the Federal Farm Credit Administration will not be eligible to receive a loan under this program, according to the an- - noufeced plans. The County Relief Committee has set up a plan for the issuance of-wargrants direct to applicants who are fo«nd to be in need of this assistance, "^Chairman O'Brien said. This pro- ' cedure was adopted at the suggestion "of the State Relief Commission in order to expedite the rendering of relief •; to the individual farmer. The farmer, however, must use the cash obtained throughxa loan for, the purchase of feed for his livestock and/or seed for planting of forage cropS. In connection with the inauguration of the drouth loan program in McHenry county.

Corning too late to =be of much benefit to the grain, the rain which soaked, the ground iti regtf* lar old-time style, will be a great help to the corn crop and gardens and will, no doubt, start lawns and pastures to looking greep, although coming rath-, er late to increase the growth fpr pasturage to any extent. •According to feather prophets, the -weather prevailing on Wednesday governs the next months so perhaps there is a chance for more rain to follow.- .

D., bishop of the Rockfo^d; diocese of the Catholic church, at the Confirmation services at St. Patrick's Church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Led by the smallest of the confirmants, a class of sixty-four boys and girls, men and women, of varying ages from the innocence of youth to the gray heads of experience, marched to their seats, in the beautiful church, followed by twenty-four visiting priests and'the'bishop who entered the church through a guard of honor con-| sisting of the Knight^ of Columbus and members of the Holy Name society. - A sponsor for each participant in the ^crament of confirmation await-^ ed in their appointed seats- ugadyxto fulfil their promise to guidet instruct and assist in the Christian life and training of the one for whom they were chosen.1 Through the efforts of Rev. Father William A. . O'Rourke, pastor of "St. Patrick's church, everything was jn readiness for this impressive service made more important by the rare visit of the bishop, and bouquets of pink and white peonies and cut flowers lent a. touch of color to the beautiful ivory altars resplendent in altar cloths of gold lace while lighted candles glowed beneath the image of St. Patrick, patron saint of the church. Beautiful 'Setting Surely a more beautiful and impressive setting could not have been arranged for this holy service which was opened by the words' of Bishop Hoban, attired in his robes of royal purple, who told of the fulfillment of that first promise, Mien on Pentecost morn so many years ago, the apostles were filled with the Holy Ghost as they waited In prayer in an upper room. The 9fohop came to fulfil this same promisej, saying that although today we may not suffer the same persecution of the apostlea yet we need the same grace and strength to meet the temptations >of th« world. He spoke of the seven sacraments, of the tehtiiceh 8*** some special grace with a visible sign telling of this grace received. He said the oil with which each one is anointed in--<ne sacrament of Confirmation Is u sign of strength needed to gain victory as they become soldiers of Chris", In ireturn for this grace, the bishop added, there is bnly one thing to offer God, service, in being faithful, to Him. Following his kindly words of inspiration and advice the sixty-four members of the class knelt at the aL tar and*with the reassuring right hand of a sponsor rest ng upon their shoulder, each was anointed by the bishop as he laid his hand upon their heads and anointed them with oil in the sign of the Cross, while the choir rendered the beautiful music appropriate to the service. In closing, the confirmants repeated the creed, the "pur Father" and "Hail Mary." The assisting priests were: Rev. Charles Quinn, Rockford; Rev. John Hackett, Oregon, 111.; Rev. John Coleman, Fox Lake; Rev. Leo. Keenan, Harvard; Rev. Peter CreHy, Harvard; Rev. Charles S. Nix, McHenry; Rev. William Dommermuth, McHenry; Rev. Edga# MldCormick, Crystal Lake; Rev.
