The Elgin Clock company is reported to be considering an offer from Woodstock to locate their plant in that city. A one hundred per eent stock dividend was recently voted to the stockholders by the Peoples* State bank at Waukegan. • Six thousand two hundred and fifteen cars were turned out at the JanesvOle, Wis., plant of the Chevrolet Mot# company. >An Old Fashioned Mother," re, cehtly staged by home talent at Rich&^Finance--Spmuel mond, netted the M. E. church of that place over $100. The "Blue Goose," well known and popular resort on the west side of Lake Elizabeth, Twin Lakes, was homed to the ground 6n a recent day. Material for the construction of the steel tanks and buildings for the new gravel pit a short distance south of Crystal Lake is now on the ground and work going on. Tfci- Nestle Food company has set about making changes in the equipment of their plant at Burlington, Wis., which will enable them to manufacture powdered milk. A Ford On runners attracted a great deal of attention at Delavan, Wis., one day last week. The outfit was rigged at a garage at Elkhorn and driven to the neighboring city. Sulphur Lick Springs, a health resort on Fox river near Wedron, 111., has been closed. When opened about twenty years ago it was expected to some day rival West Baden and French Lick Springs. F. A. Bristol, employed as maintenanee man by the Chicago & Northwest railway, found five baby snakes crawling in the snow between Crystal Lake and Ridgefield on Monday of last week. Looks like spring is close at hand. The Grayslake Times once more reached our exchange table last week after having been missed for two issues. The suspension of the paper for two weeks was brought about thru the illness of the editor, Peter W. Newhouse. - About 800 people witnessed a tubercular demonstration as held under the direction of the Richmond Short Course association at the Nippersink garage in that village one day recently. The cow slaughtered was one owned by R. R. Turner and was found to be a reactor, having tubercular lesions on one of her front legs. Charles M. Eldredge of Richmond, chairman of the McHenry county Republican central committee, has filed his petition and is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for state senator, The present state senator for this district is Rodney B.

Two bond issues, one in the sum of $15,000 and the other for $9,000, carried at a special election held for the purpose at; Crystal Lake last week. The $16,000 bond is for the purpose of raising money with which to refund the indebtedness incurred by public benefits on the sewer and water systems recently installed, while the $9,000 will be for the raising of funds with which to purchase new fire equipment. According to a runSor now afloat at Grayslake the St. Paul Railway company is about to close its station at that point. It is a known fact that the company has already closed a number of its smaller stations and Grayslake people are therefore beginning to feel that there is something in the rumor. In the case the company should see fit to take this action. Grayslake patrons are of the opinion that same would be reepened the coming spring. In common with many other cities ,/. The operetta, "The Gypy Rover," by McHenry community high school pupils, under the direction of Miss Blanche D. Pryor, is to be presented at the Empire theatre next Tuesday evening, Feb. 26. Rehearsals for the operetta have been under way for some time past and judging from the manner in which they are being "put over" the public is assured of a rare treat next Tuesday night. The accompaniments -will be played by the high school orchestra, a musical organisation which has been making very encouraging progress since Its inception. Tickets are now being sold by the pupils of the school at 50 cents each and these will be exchangeable for regular coupon tickets at Petesch's drug store starting next Saturday morning. With good weather prevailing the Empire theatre is sure to be packed to the doors next Tuesday night. Don't miss it. ' POPULAR HOTEL MAI* FRACTURES RIGHT LBG Fred Jus ten, the popuar proprietor of the hotel in this city bearing his name, is confined to his bed with a fracture of the right leg just above the ankle, the accident having taken place while the victim was leaving Pistakee lake last Friday afternoon, where he had been fishing thru the ice. Mr. Justen was on his way to the Oak Park hotel when he suddenly slipped and fell, doubling his right leg under him. He was brought home and after an X-ray picture had been taken the fracture was set by Dr. D. G. Wells. The accident will keep Mr. Justen in bed for about three weeks and it will probably be another four weeks before he will again be able to get about without the aid of crutches. , DR.

Pure bred Hereford cattle owned by Dorr and Hartland breeders have been appraised as high as $260. I have received $135 for indemnity and salvage for one pure bred animal.

The time has arrived when dairy farmers as well as other farmers must tuberculin test their cattle if they wish to maintain a market for the dairy products and the livestock. Fifty-six (66,000) thousand farmers in Illinois have had their herds tested for tuberculosis at this writing and new herds are being tested in Illinois at the rate of one hundred to one hundred and fifty (100 to 160) per day.

Smiley in the cause, Mr. Smifey making the point that the town of Mc- Henrj^iad no authority to commence such suit and the court sustained the motion made by him to dismiss the same, Mr Smiley having a number of authorities to convince the court that he was right in making the motion to dismiss. *** INDIANS STOP HERE A family of full blood Cherokee Indians stopped in McHenry last Fricabinet, recently established, has figured out that it will require approximately $60,000 to take care of Waukegan's charities during the year of 1924. The campaign for raising this amount of money will probably start within the course of the next few weeks.

Thus far f&r candidates have already entered the congressional race, these being the present incumbent, Atty. Fank R. Reid of Aurora, Atty. David Anderson of Joliet, Edwin Deicke of Elmhurst and Atty. Paul Fisher of Wheaton. The county offices to be filled are state's attorney, surveyor, circuit court clerk and coroner. For the first named office two candidates have already filed their petitions, Atty. A. H. Pouse of this city and Atty. William Carroll of Woodstock. G. L. Tryon will again make the race for county surveyor and will undoubtedly go to the polls unopposed. Charles F. Hayes will very likely enter the race for the office he now holds, while it is not known at this time whether or not E. H. Cook of Huntley will again aspire for the office of eounty coroner. The town offices which become vacant in McHenry this spring are those of assessor, clerk and highway commissioner. Altho none of the men who are new holding these offices have as yet announced themselves publicly, it is quite generally understood that all will be in the race. The office of assessor is now held by William H. Althoff, that of town clerk by Chas. B. Harmsen and John Boyle as highway commissioner. The annual town election thia year will be held on Tuesday, April 1, and in view of the fact that candidates for these offices have plenty of time in which to file their petitions it is now expected that the race will start in real earnest in a week or so. However, there is no telling just what some of these prospective candidates have in mind and one need not be surprised to learn of public annouaeeiMmts at any time. The school elections this year will take place on Saturday, April 12, on which day elections will be held by both districts, the community high school, which is district No. 166, and the grade, district No. 16. The terms of John M. Phalin and Dr. A. I. Froehlich of district No. 166 expire this spring, while the terms of the president, John E. Pufahl, and two trustees, Dr. R. G. Chamberlin and John P. Weber, in the grade schools also It is a little early for much activity on the school elections. The city primary and election this spring give promise of much interest, as it will be the first occasion of voting by wards. At a special meeting of the city board, as held on Monday evening of this week, it was decided to hold a primary this year. Other nearby small cities have in past years eliminated the primary and it may be that the city council wil! reconsider if8 action of last Monday night and also dispense with it. The date for holding city primaries has been set for March 11, while the election date is April 16. -Under the_ new city plan every office becomes vacant this spring. tiality or favoritism Your chance of being declared the winner is just as good as that of your neighbor.
