The decisioih on the part of the stockholders of the company to close the plant came at a meeting held at the plant Tuesday, after it was found that the high cost of labor at the present time and the distance from the factory to a railway shipping point have made it impos­ sible for the company to pay a satis­ factory dividend to the farmers tak­ ing their milk to the plant. The milk dividend paid by the GriS* wold Lake company for October amounted to approximately $1.20 per 100 pounds. The Bowman and Bor­ den price is around $1.70. "The factory was closed today," said A. H. Hale, a stockholder in the company, "but I only consider -its closing a temporary matter and hope to see it opened again tiext spring. The decision to close the plant was not made until the farmers who have been taking their milk to Griswold Lake were assured other markets for their milk, and is due to the fact that heavy* expenses make it impos­ sible to clear satisfactory dividends for the farmers. All of the twenty- five odd farmers have fojind places to dispose of their winter milk. Some of them have signed up with the Bowman plant at Crystal Lake, others with the McHenry plant, and the balance with the Borden plant at Wauconda. They began delivering their milk to these plants Wednesday morning." The Griswold Lake Creamery com­ pany was organized as a farmers' co­ operative company thirty-eight years ago and the present building erected on a part of the farm now owned by Mrs. R. G. Smith. In those days the milk was converted into cheese, for which there was a ready market. A Mr. Avery was the first manager of the plant and had charge of the business for about a year. Avery was succeeded by Samuel Poole, who managed the plant for two years, when it was sold to the late R. G. Smith. Mr. Smith operated the plant for about twenty years and fif­ teen years ago sold it to George Giir- ler. Eight years ago Mr. Smith again purchased the plant and oper­ ated it for two years, when another farmers' co-operative company was organized and took over the plknt. It was then operated as a co-opera­ tive plant for three years, when in the spring of 1913 the business and buildings were leased to Charles Gur- ler, a son of George Gurler, former owner of the business. Mr. Gurler contracted with the farmers for their milk and paid them the same as Bor­ den prices. The plant was operated on this basis until Oct. 1 this year, when the farmers' co-operative com­ pany again took over the factory. It has been run on the co-operative plan for the past two months. From a cheese factory the plaint changed to a butter and cheese fac­ tory, then to an exclusive butter fac­ tory, and in recent years has been operated as a creamery, where the milk has been separated, the cream shipped to buyers in Chicago and the skimmed milk sold back to the farmers supplying the plant. It is said that the wages paid to work* men in the plant have increased and the expenses of hauling fuel from McHenry to the factory and the separated cream from the factory to the raidroad shipping point at Mc­ Henry ate into the income of the business until it was not possible to produce a sufficient profit to make a satisfactory dividend for the farmers supplying the factory. The plan un­ der which the factory has operated during recent years was to pay the farmers as a dividend the balance left from the sales of the product after running expenses were paid. No definite action as to re-opening the plant will be taken until spring. From 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of milk per day have been handled in the factory. L. H. Knigge, foreman of the plant when it was closed, has been employed in the creamery for about twenty-eight years. Seven at Admission ::°10c the twenty-five dairy farmers wh$ formerly hauled their milk to the Griswold Lake creamery have signed with the Bowman -plant in Crystal Lake.

To conclude with the roaring far$p ^lititled "That Awful Carpet Ba&" Burglars tn McHenry ^ The usual quiet of our village 'was disturbed on Saturday morning last by the news that a burglary had beeQ. attempted the night before, and upon' inquiry it was learned that an attempt had been made to get into the store of Bonslett & Stoffel on the West Side. The particulars, as we learn them, are these: About 1 o'clock in the morn­ ing, the clerk, John Stoffel, who sleeps over the store, heard someone at> tempting to raise the window in this', rear of the store below. He im: diately jumped out of bed and rai the window right over where ikft would-be burglar was at*vrork, but being frozen down it made so mitrf^ noise as to frighten the scoundrel, wh^ ran, followed by the contents of Sto^ fel's revolver, but probably without P effect, as he made good his escap^ On investigation it was found that hjj *-~d first cut a hole in the rear dooA large enough to admit his hand, prob^ ably thinking he could unlock or u&4 bolt the door, but fortunately the key had been removed. He theu t**rne4 his attention to the window and aftef cutting out a light' of glass turned thf fastener, but the window being froi^a down he did not succeed in raising ,ii before he was discovered by Stoffel* It is a great pity that he did not get the opportunity to fill the villain fqir of lead. It would have been a lesson not easily forgotten. * Now that it has been proven that burglars are in our midst, our citizens should be prepared to give them a warm reception. Shoot to kill. You will be doing a public duty and rid the world of a worthless ear.
