QOMTER OT A CtNTDW • ^ ITEMS CLIPPED FRffi PLAINDEALO OT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO The McHenry bank is now open and ready for business. r_ . - The annual town meeting occurs one week from next Tuesday, April 3. The bid Central meat market is a thing of the past, it having been pulled down the past week. It makes quite an improvement in that locality. Peter Schreiner had the misfortune to get knocked down and trod upon by a cow, one day last week, and was quite severely injured. The ice has all left the river and hunters are gettlng ready for the semi­ annual duck hunt. Quitera number of flocks were seen passing up and down the river the past few days. McHenry Post No. 643, GL A. it., have decided to hold their regular meetings on the first and third Satur­ day evenings of each month, instead of on the first and third Friday evenings as heretofore. Under the new law, at the coming corporation election, which occurs April 17, it will be necessary to elect one president of the board, in addition to the three trustees, the board then being composed of one president, who will hold his office , for one year, six trustees, who hold their office for two years, and one clerk, who holds his office for one year. The question now i'S, "Who will be our new mayor?" Jacob Justen, who we reported as sick some weeks since, had a relapse la£t week and at one time his life was despaired of. He is> now reported better. Another change, in the business of our village since our last, Althoff Bros, having bought out T. B. Turner's meat market, and will hereafter run the same. They propose to erect at once a new building for that purpose just east of their store, and having en­ gaged the services of Jos. Freund, a tirst-class butcher, will keep a market second to none in this seotion. We learn that a daughter of Mr. Overocker, who -lives in the Howe block, aged about six years, met with a serioUB accident on Sunday morning, and one which may pravfe fatal. It appears she was kindling tne fire with some shavings, wkjen the flame^.burst out, setting her clothing on fire, and before they could be extinguished hdr arms and breast were burned in a hor­ rid manner. In attempting to put out the flames her mftther had her hattda and arms quite "badly burned, -r-- AUCTION SALE OF FAWl^::^ Because of illness I am compelled move my family from where we are now located, therefore I will sell my farm known as the W.

These small spores remain inactive until the grain is planted, when they germinate with the seed and send hair-like threads up thru the stem of the plant. Prac­ tically ail oi the heads growing from a seed which contains the smut spores are smutted and the grain destroyed. As soon as the smut is fully matured it is blown by the wind to unaffected heads of oats or barley and finds lodg­ ing beneath. the hulls of unripened kernels. The hulls close over the spores at the time of ripening and hold them securely until germination be­ gins, when the spores begin their de­ structive work. . ^ The formaldehyde treatment com­ pletely prevents smut in oats and re­ duces smut in barley about 20 per cent. Secure from the drug store a pint of .formalin for every -thirty-five bushels of grain that, you are going to sow. Mix the pint of fdrmalin with thirty- five gallons of water. Spread thirty- five bushels of well cleaned oats on a clean floor; with an ordinary sprink­ ling can sprinkle some of the above solution oyer the seed. Mix the seed and add more4* solution until you have added one gallon of solution for every ADDITIONAL PERSONALS. Miss Emma McGinnis of Elgin was a recent McHenry visitor. Peter J.

Mr. Heimer was very fortunate in getting out - of the wreck with only a few slight bruises, while the engineer and fireman .lost their lives. The mail car in which he was working was thrown alongside a twen­ ty foot embankment, which kept the car from upsetting, thus saying the mail clerks from serious, if not fatal, injuries.

Pile the seed in 'a round heap; cover with blankets to prevent the formalin from evaporating, and leave all night. The next day the seed cAn again be spread on the floor, and after being shoveled over once or twice wiii be ready for sowing. The treatment of oats and barlav for smut may seem a small matter to many farmers, but on practically every farm of any size in McHenry county the value of two or three good cows or a horse is lost every year by smut, all of which could have been prevented by a little work and less than two cents per bushel for seed sown. The smutted plants are shorter and mature earlier than the erop of grain. Often there is 10 to 25 per cent of smut that the farmer does not realize is present* On eighty acres of oats the following table gives tbe loss due to smut of dif­ ferent amounts, assuming a yield of fifty bushels of oat# per acre.

The ordinance that Judge Whitney sustained was prepared by Attorney C. P. Barnes of this city and it pro-: hibits smoking on any public street Qr in any publio place in Zion City, but does not attempt to prohibit people smoking in their own homes or on their own premises. In speaking of the work of Attorney Barnes in this case the Waukegan Sun says: "While the anti-Voliva faction con­ trols the city affairs, that faction had shown no desire to enforce this ordi­ nance for many months until finally Yoliva personally insisted on its being enforced, and the arrest oi Behrens followed with a test case in the circuit court. Voliva retained Attorney O. P. Barnes of Woodstock to assist Judge Barnes, city attorney of Zion City. The Woodstock attorney has worked hard on this case in presenting author­ ities and insisted on the court holding the ordinance valid. "One of the cases cited by him was a decision of the supreme court of Massachusetts rendered in 1847, hold­ ing the 1819 statute of that state valid, which prohibited smoking or carrying alighted pipe or cigar on any public street ar t>fchilc place in tba dty of Boston."
