FARM HAND ARRESTED AT CRYSTAL LAKE Phone 182 The Best Service Always POPPy -- -'Expert Shoemaker West McHenry, Illinois A^^yjoung man, giving his name as Robert Reynolds, was arrested at Crystal Lake last Friday charged with breaking into the office of the McHenry County Co-operative association at Crystal Lake during the previous Wednesday night. The lad had been employed by John Fleming on the latter's farm at Barreville, coming out from Chicago to go to work for Mr. Fleming about a week before he "pulled" the Crystal Lake job. After breaking into the office during Wednesday night of last week, where he stole $152, he went to Elgin and purchased a motorcycle and then returned to Crystal Lake the following day. According to C. W. Gibbs of this city. Who is one of the officials of the co-operative association, the night policeman at Crystal Lake was told that suspicion pointed to young Reynolds, but an arrest was not made until Friday. Mr. Fleming told officials that the lad had always carried a revolver in his pocket while in his employ and it is believed that this is not his first experience with police officials. Judge C. P. Barnes lost no time with the chap when he appeared in the McHenry county court last Saturday, the county jurist sentencing the accused to an indeterminate term in the Pontiac reformatory.

Newhouse, who has successfully published the Grayslake Times during the past thirteen years, has not been in the best of health during the past several months and the sale of his paper was made in the hope that a rest from the strenuous duties of newspaper work would result in the recovery of his strength and health. McHENRY COUNTY COWS MAKE FINE RECOUPS Chas.*W. Gibbs, whose farm is located on the McHenry-Crystal Lake road, a short distance south of thii city, and A. D.

Both herds consist of full blood Holsteins, the McHenry man having nine cows entered in the cow testing association, while Mr. Cornue has fourteen. During the month of April the Gibbs herd produced 1326 pounds of milk with a fat test of 47.1, yhile the production from Mr. Cornue's herd was 1324 pounds with a butter fat test of 49.1.
