SEVERS HER CONNECTION WITH LOCAL BANK [Woodstock American] • ^ Work to complete the paving on' route 20, road between Woodstock and McHenry is well: under way, according to th# contract made with Giertz & Son, and superintended by Robert B'eatty. This stretch of road extends six and three-quarters miles northeast from the end of the paving at McHenry avenue to Sherman's hill. Surveying preliminary to straightening the highway has been completed with the result that the new road will run on the opposite side of Fair View cemetery from the course it now takes, while the turn to the north past the Fred Charles farm will be cut off, the road running straight northeast. Two steam shovel gangs are at work on both east and West ends of the stretch, grading the road according to surveying stakes and widening the road. The deepest cuts to be made by this gang will be on the James Marks and Sam Rasmussen farms, while "the largest fill will be below the Sam Rasmussen place. About a month will be required by the graders to get the work in condition for the pouring of the cement! Gravel for the work is being obtained at the plant, which is located on the Fred Charles farm. At the pit a gravel washirig apparatus is being constructed. This washer consists of a concrete walled stone crusher, a screen for sifting the pebbles and the water used in the washing is obtained by means of four wells that have been drilled at the plant. Pouring the cement will not take place for about three weeks. When that work commences the cement and gravel will be mixed at the place of pouring. This will probably start at the east end on Sherman's hill and work all the time toward Woodstock. The scene of the activities is a busy place. William Bartelt is the boss of the east gang of steam shovel workers and Harold Otis of the west gang. The snorting of the big machine, blasting of an occasional stump and the ceaseless rounds of the dump wagons give promise of the results. Of the sixty-five men employed on all the gangs, about twelve have sleeping quarters at the old Ostend cheese factory, now dubbed "Hotel Bismarck." When the cement mixers arrive, about thirty or forty will have to be accommodated there. At the gravel plant two blacksmiths are continually on the job, a crew of carpenters are busy making the forms for the.i six remaining culverts to be put in and constructing the framework for the gravel washer. ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE Rural letter carriers employed in various postoffices in McHenry and Boone counties will hold a basket picnic at Crystal Lake next Sunday, August 5. James Carlisle, a farmer residing near the McHenry county farm at Hartland, was attacked by a stock hog on his farm last Friday afternoon and quite severely bitten above and below the knee. It was necessary for the physician, who was called into attendance, to put in several stitches to close the wound. Ed. Buhman, aged forty-five years, and who at one time resided on a farffl in the vicinity of Lake Zurich, was killed while in the act of setting a trap for chicken thieves. The Buhman family moved to LaRouge, La!, about five years ago and it was there that the unfortunate fatality took place. Mr. Buhman had just set a loaded gun in the hen house. He was shot when he accidentally touched a string attached to the trigger. His body was brought to Lake Zurich for burial. Miss Gertrude Webber, who during the past several months has been employed at the Fox River Valley State bank here, this week severed her connection with that institution and on Wednesday left for Keenes, 111., where she expects to make her future home. During the time that she has been employed at the local bank she has proven herself a valued assistant, while her pleasing personality and ever lady-like manners have won for her the high esteem of many of our citizens and patrons of the bank, who, no doubt, wilt be sorry to learn of her leaving. ANOTHER SPECIE ADDED TO HOG FAMILY Another new specie has been added to the hog family. Since the advent of the "road hog" we now have the "railroad seat hog." The latter specie was brought to the notice of the writer who boarded the 7:33 Chicago passenger on Monday morning of this week. Altho the train was fairly well crowded, two young men made full use of two seats, using the extra cushion for their feet. Several passengers attempted to make use of the seat, but were told that same was taken. It was, but it was for four lazy feet that occupied the seat thruout the entire run be tween McHenry and Chicago. WANTED, STEP LADDERS If that corn continues to grow -M it has in the past two weeks James Hunter will be in need of several hundred step ladders to assist i i harvesting the crop.

Corn Crop Equal to All State Governors' Salaries ^ '/ tHE 15 counties served with g«i or electricity by this Company form a Zone of Plenty unequaled in productivity, probably, by any aq|§ ilar sized area in the United States. The present salaries of all state governors, including Porto Rioc and the Philippines, could be paid for 100 years by the receipts from one crop of corn grown in these 15 counties. The valuation of diary products alone in this area,--$23,157,525.00--exceeds in one year the combined postal savings deposits in the states of California, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas and New Jersey. The richness of the land and other natural resources of this remarkably productive area are back of the securities of this Company.
