Kent, Seti* iMIiiyiMifiMiii Candidate for Reelection as Eighth District 'at Lake, McHenry and Boone Countie| To the Voters of the Eighth Senatorial District Feeling that J3oone county is in all fairness en-# titled to have one of the State Representatives, while Lake and McHenry counties will divide the other three places, two Representatives and the Senajtophip, I have announced my candidacy for renominating It has been my earnest endeavor to honestly and faithfully represent the interests of the people of the Eighth district. I joined in the filibuster against the bill doubling the assessment of property and fought the Chicago politicians in their scheme to seize control of the state through the reapportionment bill, which would give Chicago permanent domination of the downstate and place the corrupt gangsters in the saddle for all time, ^ , I voted against legalized gambling as foisted tfpon the state through the race track measure. The farming interests know that I have lined up in favor of every bill to aid agriculture. On account of the small size of Boone county, as compared to the populous Lake county, and the much larger vote of McHenry county, it is impossible for Boone county to keep a representative at Springfiield without aid from both Lake and McHenry counties. I am asking voters of Lake and McHenry counties to give me consideration by marking their ballots, to cast one vote for my renomination. N.

The Cary Motor Company, owners of a three-passenger^modem airplane, opened their flying season last Sunday.

The plane was piloted by Clarence Clabough of Chicago, an experienced pilot who has been employed by the Cary Motor Company to fly the plane throughout the season. This is the first airplane to make its home in this vicinity and will undoubtedly attract a large patronage. The flying field is located on part of the Tomisky farm north of Cary and about one-half mile off of Route 19.

One man of our acquaintance went over to visit a neighbor. , The neighbor happened to be busy making over his attic with Sheet Rock wall board. This friend of ours took off his coat and helped; and the two of them built a room which any first-class carpenter might have been proud of. Easy? Yes. Inexpensive! Ridiculously so. And the best thing about it wa9 that this new room insulated the rest of the house, making it pleasanter all the year 'round! You can do a job like | this, too.
