F. Stafford late last Friday afterwas sent to the Wau RAIDERS PAY VISIT With the recent acquisition of a Michael Yundt washing machine and a system of conveyors, together with the modern equipment Installed in the plant from time tq time, the local bottling plant owned by the Borden Milk company starts off the new year with an outfit which compares very favorably with the bast of the to be found anywhere. The very latest addition to the equipment, the Yundt washer, is not only designed to do the work mttch more rapigly than the old system, but also does it most thoroly. In fact, after the bottles have passed thru the big machine they come out in a state of perfect cleanliness. The bottles pass thru the waaher at Ae rate of ninety-six per minute. Th new system of conveyors, which reach from the washing machine to the doors of the cars, bring the empty' cases to the back of the machine, thus doing away with the old system of trucking. Here the 'bottles are fed into the washer and paas thru the three units, the first two being of an alkali solution, known aa the Chicago Special, and the third a rinsing. The machine & absolutely air tight and is controlled by an air system. The solution in the first unit is always kept at 120 and the second at 160 degteea. After passing thru the second unit the bottles are carried over a rapidly revolving hydro air brush and from there are automatically fed into the. rinsing unit, where they pass thru a water and a great air pressure that leaves the containers in a state of perfect cleanliness and delivers the bottles onto the conveyor. The conveyor then carries them to the automatic filler and capper, after which they are ready for the final inspection before being crated and thence placed upon the conveyor which carries them to the car, where they are loaded for shipment to Chicago. It might be of interest to those who have never visited the local plant to learn just how the milk is handled and the various stages it passes thru from the *imo it is delivered at the receiving station of the plant until mm is bottled. The first operation as 'the milk is delivered at the receiving station by the farmer is the dumping and weighiitg. A new automatic aeale, the rvty latest improved machine, is used in registering each dairyman's delivery, while the track and dumping device are also of the latest model. Prior to the installation of these late additions t!wo men were required to do the (lumping, while now one man can handle the same work and do it easily. The milk is dumped into the weighing tank, while the can finds its way into the washing and steaming room, where it is thoroly cleaned before being returned to the dairyman. From the weighing tank the milk finds its way to the cooling or storage tank, which occupies the main floor of the building just underneath the re; ceiving room. After the milk has gone thru the cooling process, it is again pumped to the second floor, where same passes thru the clarifier, thence to the pasteurizer, from there it finds its way to the holding tanks, after passing thru a system of cooling coils. From the holding tanks it ii again pumped to the filler and froas there to the bottles. The milk is going from one operation to another, passing thro a system «f pipes which are the very last word in cleanliness. As a matter j>{ fact, every piece of machinery in the whole plant undergoes a thoro cleaning every day of the year and, in view of the fact that not a human hand comes in contact with the fluid as it understand why Bordens lay claim to understand why Borden's lay claim to operating the most sanitary milk plants to be" found anywhere in the world.

Outside of this change the standing of the remains the same as a week agd^V TO GRAND JURY What otherwise may have terminated into a quiet day was turned into » most eventful New Year's in McHenry when at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning deputies from the office of Sheriff Edinger of Woodstock swooped down upon our city and simultaneously raided six of our drink emporiums and while the excitement waa going on here other raiding squads, also from Woodstock, visited similar places at Cary, Fox River Grove and Woodstock. , Armed with search warrants as issued them by Circuit Judge Edward D. Shurtleff, the deputies drove to this city in automobiles and within a very short time after their arrival the places of M. L. Worts, J. C. Bickler, John J. Buch, Fred Justen, Theodore Schiessle, Jr., and Fred Weinschenker had been visited. Wet goods were seized in some quantities as were a few slot machines. These were loaded upon a truck and taken over to Woodstock, while the six proprietors were told to appear at the court house at Woodstock at three o'clock that afternoon. At the appointed hour the six McHenry men, together with Louis Cernocky and Frank Kotaska of Fox River Grove, Persson & Skow and Frank Aylward of Woodstock appeared before Judge Shurtleff in the McHenry county circuit court, where they were charged with violations of the prohibition law. All but three, of the men waived examination and were placed under $1,000 bonds each to await the action of the grand jury, which will be in session at Woodstock one week from next Monday, Jan. 14. The three who held out were Frank Kotaska of Fox River Grove, Persson & Skow and Frank Aylward, whose cases have been set for hearing on Jan. 10. The names of the patrons who .were in the various places at the time of the raid were taken by the deputies, but no arrests were made, it being presumed that these men will be called in aa witnesses when the cases come up for trial, provided indictments axe. returned by the grand jury. Reports from Woodstock are to the effect that the state's attorney's office had nothing to do with the raids. In fact, it is said that State's Attorney Lumley knew nothing of the mattar until after the deputies had visited the various towns in the county. The news of the raid traveled thru the city like wild-fire. Within a few minutes after the officers' arrival in the city the story had been circulated from one end of town to the other and during the balance of the day the subject was the chief topic of conversation. The kegs and containers as picked up in McHenry are now safely stored in the court house at Woodstock, wherfe analysis of their contents are to be made. The slot machines are also at the same place and, following the custom in such cases, will very likely be destroyed. . ; FOUR MORE LOTS SOLD BY KENT t: GKREN Standing ef Teama W. L.

Among those from out-of-town who attended and took an active part in the meeting were Frank Holt of Kenosha, Wis., president of the Milk. Producers' association; John T. Sullivan of Marengo, W. J. Kettle and W. A. Goodwin of Crystal Lake. Among the members of the local unit who occupied the floor during the afternoon were K. J. Fellows and Thos. A. Bolger. The meeting was called to order by F. H. Wattles, president of the McHenry unit, who, after a few appropriate remarks, turned the meeting over to President Holt. Mr. Holt spoke at some length' regarding the milk situation as it stands today, as did the others who followed him. John T. Sullivan of Marengo, who as a member of the committee appointed by the association to meet TH j with the officials of the Marketing company in Chicago on Friday, gave first-hand information regarding the matters discussed at that meeting. Mr. Sullivan, among other things, stated that a proposition 'had been made to the officials of the Marketing that organization 147 181 183 186 119 16S 161 176 m ttenrys Schmitt ... R. Page ...

Meyers was j effect was to function only in the condensing and not in the fluid milk districts. He also stated that besides their own committee and the Marketing company officials, the conference had also been attended by representatives from the Kenosha, Milwaukee and Racine associations and that it was further proposed that a federation, including the above milk units, be formed. However, there was no definite action taken on either one of the two propositions. During tfco meeting here last Saturday a committee was appointed to represent the McHenry unit at Monday's meeting in Chicago. Those of the McHenry committee who attended the meeting as held at the Hotel La- Salle were F. H. Wattles, Hubert Freund, John Anderson and Anton P. Freund. The Ringwood unit of the association was represented at the Chicago meeting by Clinton Martin, Ed. Hopper, Wm. B. Tonyan and Edward Nordi*. The meeting in Chicago was called to order at 10:30 on Monday mornttlg. Shortly after the opening of the session a resolution was passed to the that the aasociation stand high man of the «v«ning, getting a | solidly back of any action total of 688.

While it is true that some milk has been received at both plants every day since the start of the strike, the deliveries amounted to only a few pounds. Altho several conferences between the big dealers and the milk board of the Milk Producers' association have taken place in Chicago for a week or more, these bodies have, up to the time of our going to press, been unable to reach a satisfactory agreemeat. x The dealers have offered to contract for January milk at a price of $2.60 per hundred pounds, but the producers are holding out for a six or three months' contract. They are asking er hundred pounds on a six months* basis Or $2.85 on a three months' contract. Since the strike the milk board has been in session in Chicago daily, thus making it possible tor the two bodies to get together at any hour of the day. Dairymen of McHenry county are better organized at this time than ever before. Some of the territories where the marketing company has been quite strong during the past two years or more have joined the producers and in this manner they have assisted in placing McHenry county into the fight almost solidly. Among the former strongholds of the marketing company which have joined the producers in the fight are Hebron and Alden. While no one seems willing to predict just what the outcome of the present squabble will be, it looks at this time as if the strike will continue some time longer before a settlement will have been reached. As this is the season of a big surplus, the larger dealers apparently am quite well fortified; The dairymen of the McHenry territory, thru their officials, are now making arrangements, so we are told, to ship their cream to an Elgin concern. The price offered by the Elgin concern iB said to amount to about $2.10 per hundred pounds and, taking into consideration that the dairymen retain all of the skimmed milk, they claim that the proposition isn't a bad one, altho they will be obliged to take a small loss. The producers, we understand, had been considering the matter of having the local cream hauled to Elgin via truck, but after investigation it was found that the cream could be carried just as cheaply via express. Dairymen fjigt the | who wish to ship their cream to the Elgin concern may get any information desired by calling up tiwir presmilk ident, F. H. Wattles. Richardson A.
