In the party primages to be held a year from this month, or to be exact, on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 1914, McHenry county will indicate her choice for a long list of elective officers, the num­ ber including a state treasurer, state superintendent pf public instruction, a congressman, three members of the- lower house of the general assembly, a county judge, county clerk, county treasurer, sheriff and coupty superin­ tendent of schools. The terms of State Treasurer Ryan and Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tion Blair will expire in 1914 and their successors' will be chosen at the pri­ maries a year hence. Mr. Ryan is in­ eligible for re-election, but Mr. Blair is not and it is understood he will seek another term. Congressman Copley will be a candi­ date for return to congress at the pri­ maries of next year, but whether as a Republican or a Progressive he has not yet disclosed, t'rom some of his friends comes the word that he will seek the office as a Republican, while others are positive that he has seyered all his relations with the Republican party and who declare he will an­ nounce himself as a Progressive, or third party advocate. For seats in the general assembly, three of which are to fce filled from this legislative district, nothing defi­ nite is known beyond the fact that Thos. E. Graham, Democratic mem­ ber, is an avowed aspirant for another term. Mr. Graham*comes from Lake county, where it is conceded he has especial strength as demonstrated in the primary and election of 1912, but he is encountering much difficulty in adjusting differences within his party as a result of applicants for office, his distribution of state and federal pat­ ronage bringing upon him much criti­ cism, as is always the case with the party in power and of the chief dis­ penser especially, who appears at this time to be Mr. Graham so far as Mc Henry, Boone and Lake counties are concerned. ~ Whether E. IK Shurtleff will seek re-election as a house member is a question few are able to answer, tho it is known among his friends that he has not hankered after the office for several terms, but he made up his mind to not retire during the time that the late Governor Deneen sought his de­ feat. The Marengo legislator and the late governor were implicable foes, the governor exerting every influence of his great office to encompass Mr Shurtleff's defeat, but the latter came out victorious and he had the satisfac­ tion of serving one term in the house after the governor had. been over whelmed by the votes of the people of Illinois. While no one has heard Mr. Shurtleff say what his plans are, it is a safe guess he can obtain another nomi­ nation and an election if he so indi­ cates, for he has lost none of his strength among the people of his dis­ trict. The other legislator from, the dis­ trict is Payette S. Munro, Progressive party adhlerent, of Lake county. Mr. Munro will likely seek re-election, but whether as a Republican or a Pro­ gressive is not known, tho more prob­ ably of the third party, of which he was an active and prominent exponent in the last session of the legislature. Boone countj^ however, is likely to make strenuous efforts in the next pri­ mary to obtain recognition on' the party ticket, which the county has not received since the enactment of the present primary election law. Just who will be presented from that coun­ ty as its strongest legislative candidate is not known at this time, tho many incline to the belief that Dr. Frank S. Whitman, long a leading and promi­ nent Republican and former superin­ tendent of the Elgin hospital for the insane, would make a candidate of un­ questioned strength, while others in­ cline to the view that Wm. R. Piejxe, the well-known lawyer, nnight be Boone eountyV entry for a legislative seat. In the domain of county politics but little is doing. Two of the five coun­ ty officials whose terms expire are not eligible for re-election by statue en­ actment, these being the treasurer and sheriff, which offices are held by A. A. Crissey of Marengo and A. H. Henderson of Crystal Lake. The three incumbents who are understood to seek another term include D. T. Smiley, county judge; Guy E. Still, county clerk, and A. M. Shelton, superintend­ ent of schools. In fact, all of the latter three make no concealment of the fact that they will ask the electorate of the county for another term in the offices they now hold. McHenry county Democrats are quite sure to put up a county ticket at the next primaries, for now that the party is in power in the state and nation it is Incumbent that they retain an organization wherever possible. And in McHenry county it is only fair to Mtmin&jihafc the Democrats are getting re&dy for a good sized scrap within the party ranks. Party power and patronage always create dissensions among all parties and the Democrats will have their inning at the next pri­ mary. The line of battle will be for control of the county organization, and it will be waged in every precinct of the county, according to a local repre­ sentative of the faction opposed to the continued dominion of party affairs by Roger C. Sullivan. What will the Progressive party do so'far as McHenry county is concerned? Will the party put up a ticket for county offices? These are questions that agitate the minds of many resi­ dents of the county, carrying it for their leader, Cel. Roosevelt, and for Frank Funk, the party candidate for governor. But it is conceded their strength is nowhere as potent as it was a year ago, and chiefly for two reasons. First, because they had the magic of a great leader, who cannot be such a factor in an off year election, and second, because in off year elec­ tions it is impossible to make party alignments as binding as in presiden­ tial years. - N.

SELECTING SEED CORII S SHOULD BE DONE NOT LATER THAN SEP­ TEMBER 30 Many corn growers Mo not worry much about seed corn until a week or two before planting. Each spring there is usually a scarcity of good seed. Such a condition need not exist, as it is due either to delay or negligence and can be prevented by the selection of seed corn, in the autumn. Gather­ ing seed corn should be a special task, and at corn ripening time all other work should be dropped and an abun­ dance of seed selected from the stand­ ing stalks where they grow and before the first hard freeze. The first hard freeze usually comes about Oct. 10 and, the only safe thing to do is to save the seed corn before the first killing freeze. Just as surely as a glass jar half full of water will be broken or cracked if left out in a hard freeze, so will the germ in a kernel of corn be killed or weakened If frozen when it is from one-third to one-half water. Corn at the time of the first killing frost is from one-third'to one- half water. , Go into the best and earliest planted fields and select well matured ears from the most vigorous stalks. A sack with the mouth held open by a keg hoop and slung over the shoulder by a rope or strap is a good way to gather seed in the field. It is not a good plan to take the ear from a stalk that grew in a hill by it­ self or from one in a hill with a barren or weak stalk. Choose ears of a medium height. If $he highest ears are selected the corn will gradually become late and if the lowest ears are selected an early corn with shallow kernels and with furrows between the rows will be produced. Pick ears that droop ever so that their tip is turned downward. Such ears shed water better and are usually drier than ears standing upright. The shank should be short, as ears with long shanks are harder to husk and more often damaged. The husks should be long encjugh to cover the tip of the ear«o as to prevent damage from in­ sects or disease. If the husks extend too far beyond the point of the ear they are usually tightly closed so that it cannot dry out well and is difficult to husk! Treatment Alter Gatharintf The same day the seed is gathered the husked ears should be put in a dry place where there is free circulation of air and placed in such a manner that the ears do not toneh each other. The vitality of seed corn is consider­ ably reduced and often ruined by leav­ ing it in a pile or a sack for even one day after gathering. One of the most satisfactory methods is to tie it up with binder twine, putting about ten or fifteen ears in a string, then hang it up where it will be free from mice and the air can circulate freely about it, thus drying it quickly and thoroly. It is a bad practice to hang corn in the direct sunshine just after it is picked. On warm afternoons the sun will warm it sufficiently to start the germ so that freezing or drying will kill or weaken it. The following rules should be care­ fully followed: v 1. Save early from two to four times as many ears as will be needed and dry them thoroly. 2. Select ears only from strong, vig­ orous stalks, picking only ears which bend over at a medium height and are on medium length stalks. 3. In the spring select only the heavy, solid ears and test each ear carefully to make sure it will grow. 4. Select fifty to one hundred of the best ears and plant in a seed plot from which to select seed in the falU> ^ _ NO GAME LAST SUNDATj^U^ Owing to a misunderstanding" be­ tween the managers of the Elgin Col­ legians and the McHenry teams the game advertised for last Sunday did not materialize. It was the under­ standing that the McHenry manager was to phone Manager Clifford of El­ gin between the hours of seven and eight last Sunday iqorning to inform him whether or not the field was in playing condition. The McHenry man­ ager experienced considerable difficulty in locating the Elgin man at the ap­ pointed time apd when he did finally reach him by phone the answer came that the players of the team had al­ ready disbanded and the game was called off. .

Late Monday afternoon of last week the little fellow wandered out into the corn field to. watch his father operate a corn binder. Before Mr. Weinder noticed him, he walked in front of the moving machine and was picked up and tossed into the binder by the elevator. Before the machine could be brought to a stop he had been bound Tip with a bundle of cornstalks. In passing thru the ma­ chine bis body was crushed and scalp torn open by the needle on the binder. He was picked up by his father and rushed to his home, where Dr. Higgins was called to attend him. Later he was ordered removed to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was reported to be resting «asy.

HAULED INTO COURT On the complaint of Game Warden Hayes, three McHenry young men were hauled into Justice Mead's court last Monday , morning. The charge preferred against the young men was for shooting before sunrise. The young men denied the charge and suc­ ceeded in convincing the jury that they did no shooting before the sunrise hour on that particular morning. The cjjse was then dismissed.
