Through the efforts ef the Producers and Huntley business men a price of $2.40 per hundred pounds of milk was secured for the farmers delivering to the John F. Jelke plant at Huntley, it was recently announced. Another increase is looked for upon Mr. Jelke's return from Europe. Receipts of the Waukegan post of fice probably will be swelled $25,000 to $30,000 a year as the result of an announcement just made by the Abbott laboratories that beginning with October 1 their address will be Waukegan instead of Chicago, this despite the fact that the laboratories are located in North Chicago. The plan of uniform dress for girls in Lake Geneva high school will go into effect immediately after spring vacation next year, if the board of education takes favorable action on the proposal made by a company of mothers and teachers who met August 3, on investigation of Mrs. IHaTwhe Longland, of the school board. Tales of Civil war experiences will be retold with added interest at the twenty-fourth annual reunion and picnic of the G. A. R. of Kane and surrounding counties to be held Thursday September 9, at the court house of Geneva. W. D. Ellis of Elgin is president of the association and John Rogers of Geneva is the secretary. Survey of the number of tuberculin tested cows in the Chicago dairy district is being conducted by the Milk Producers' association with the hope of convincing Dr. Herman Bundesen, Chicago health commissioner, that, if he bars untested milk from Chicago^ a milk famine will follow in the city, according to Frank J. Green, president of the association. About 100 spectators who were thrilled at the beach atWaukegan last Thursday evening by the diving feats of Earl Sanburg of Great Lakes, once champion diver of the navy, stood aghast a moment later when he struck his head'against the bottom and came up gasping for breath. He was rescued by a life guard, and is not believed seriously hurt. Byron Wright, 60, resident of Woodstock for many years, met an accidental death at the county seat city on Monday of last week. In the perfor ma nee of his duties as janitor about the comunity school building he had occasion to ascend to a window ledge to wash windows, when he lost his hold and fell from the second story to the ground. For the second time in two weeks the Carfield A Pester store of Grayslake has been burglarized, this time the job being pulled almost in broad ^aylight, as the deed was done between 8 and 9 o'clock., August 2. The burglars evidently* were well aware of the activities of the proprietors for their actions were timed with precision. Various articles of clothing were taken. A handsome silver cup with gold lining is offered as a trophy by the American Legion of Harvard as a prize to the most careful driver of a motor car within the city limits for the period of one month. Judges of the car drivers are William A. Nolon, city marshal, and T. M. St. John, traffic official. The legion loving cup will be given each month to the person exercising the most care in car driving. Three brave nimrods from the big city, engaged in the hazardous occupation of shooting song birds in Barrington recently, were astonished when they were informed by Deputy Game Warden Leo Riley that what they were doing was not looked upon with favor by his department. In fact, he told them it was expressly forbidden by the state laws. They were further astonished when they were compelled to pay a trifle more than $140. The attractive summer home at Pistakee Bay, which for years was so successfully conducted by the Paulist Fathers, has been taken over by the Catholic Charities of Chicago. Here, in this summer paradise, many poor mothers and children are living, far from all annoyances and health hindrances. Some of these poor children will return to the city this week-end, after ten days spent in the enjoyment of pleasures hitherto unknown to them. Others will remain, as their undernourished condition calls for more extended treatment. Every two weeks a new party will come to enjoy the wonders of Pistakee Bay, wonders that exist only in dreams in the poorer districts of Chicago. At the present time about 170 mothers and children are staying at the camp. The ages of tl\e children rhnge from very young to those who are about 13 or 14. Most of them realize that their pleasure cannot be of long duration, and they are trying to get all of the enjoyment possible out of the ten days' outing. The Ladies of Isabella in Chicago have undertaken to help finance this progressive movement for the poor children, and volunteers of that order are serving during the summer at the camp, assisting the trained social workers of the Charities' staff. This is a splendid progressive movement on the part of the '^Catholic Charities." A vacation in the country for the poor children under their care, a period of rest for the delicate little ones, an opportunity for play on the grass of the camp or in the cool waters of the Bay, will work wonders among the waifs of the congested districts. Now right here is a chance for McHenry people to do something for charity. The good work that is being done can be readily seen*. .If everyone could realize just how much any little donation will be appreciated, all would be willing to give something. The ladies will be more than thankful to receive fruit, foodstuffs, dishes, toys, etc And they would be grateful if any of the stores of this city would give them a special price on dishes, as they cannot well afford to pay much for them - Real charity is being practised, as it were, at our very door, so let us do our best to help it on. ? • 1 NO MOUSY FOR TAXI FARE; LAUDS IN JAIL Clarence Hicks of Chicago found himself lodged in the comfortable quarters of the McHenry jail Sunday night in spite of his protest that it wasn't his fault if he were "broke." Mr. Hicks hired a Yellow cab Sunday evening and said he w anted to be taken to Delavan and Lake Geneva. The trip was made and on their return to this city, the taxi driver asked for the money.

The barn which was a large structure 85 by 86 feet, caught fire about 8 o'clock and was completely wiped out. The fire, which is just another piece of hard luck which has been floating around Hartland the past year and a half, probably started from sponta neous combustion. However, Mr. Mc Cabe says that he and his sons were about the barn for several hours before the fire and no sighs of smoke were noticed. The fire was first noticed at the northeast end, and in a few minutes the whole barn was ablaze . Hartland fanners have been hit hard by fire, wind and lightning the past year and it seems they have received more their share of ban), lack. Varin Parker, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Parker of Harvard, lost his life while swimming in the "old swimming hole" in Kishwaukee Creek just south of the William Desmond farm in Hartland, Sunday afternoon. Tlje unfortunate part of the accident was that the youth's parents were on the bank of the creek when the boy went under, but both being unable to swim, were helpless to give him any aid. The creek has become a very popular place for bathers during the past few years and almost every Sunday the place is crowded with visitors. It so happened that at the time of the accident there was only one person around the place who could give any assistance. This was a young lad who was a companion of the Parker boy and who was in bathing with him at the time he went under. Parker had been in the water only a short time, and it was after he made a dive off a diving board that his com panion and his parents noticed that he failed to come up from under the water.
