Many of our people who are now making trips to and from McHenry are taking the east road, which they say is much better than the one on ,the west side of the river. While the wind and sun have taken away some of the snow there is still plenty of it left. John A. Bugner, a former Johnsburg resident, writes from Alvado. Ohio, that they have had a long, snug winter with plenty of snow. His last year's crop, he adds, was very satisfactory, his com crop being particularly good. Wheat went from 16 to 25 bushels to the acre; oats, 50 bushels and barley, 30. Hog cholera was prevalent thruout the territory in which he resides, but he was fortunate in not having his herd afliicted. Horses at sales held last fall brought as high as $260; cows, $170; sheep $27.00, and sows up to $80 each while farm machinery was bid up to unheard of prices. He concludes hif letter by saying that he and his ily have escaped the flu this winter. The Grant Six With its production equipment taxed to capacity by the American demand for Grant Light Six motor cars, the Grant motor car corporation of Cleveland has decided to accept no new orders for shipment of ears to foreign countries. In the future the Grant export policy will be confined to filling foreign orders already on the company's books and caring only for export contracts already made. This change of export policy, it is believed, will assist the Grant dealer organization in meeting the demand for the Grant in America. Jos. H. Huemann, agent, Johnsburg, Jll., local distributor of Grant Sixes, is in hearty accord with this announcement by Geo. S. Wait®, general sales manager of the Grant corporation, since the demand for these motor cars in this territory has kept at all times far ahead of deliveries from the factory in Cleveland. The demand for Grant cars abroad has grown so rapidly that at the beginning of the 1920 season the factory discovered that it could export every car that the Grant factory could produce. Under the new policy arrangements already made for export will not be cancelled, but new accounts for shipment abroad will not be opened. The Grant Six has become extremely popular abroad because of its light weight, its power and general efficiency and original spring suspension, which provides remarkably easy riding qualities. Grant cars shipped abroad in the, past have been the same as the stock cars known all over America, except that {he car for export has right drive and dual ignition, both distributor and magneto being supplied. While England and the Scandinavian peninsula have been the heaviest foreign buyers, Grant cars have been shipped in large quantities to Straits Settlement, India, . Japan and other points abroad, this business being handled by a New York firm of exporters. Recently the heavy demand for Grant trucks in America forced the producers to refuse an order for 400 trucks to be shipped to England. RIDGEFIELD Mrs. Draper was a Baraboo ^visitor recently. Rob.
