Haying is being hurried; harvest is fast on the wajr. Oats and barley are turning rapidly. Road workers are still busy widening «nd grading the road south from Ostend Corner. Road was so narrow any one driving had to look for a place to pass if another vehicle was coming from opposite direction. News was received here last week of the death of Elmer Magoon, son of Henry and Louisa Salisbury Magoon, both deceased. Elmer was between 50 and 60 years of age and when a boy lived with his parents an a farm here and attended Ostend school, Seven from this neighborhood were confirmed with the class at McHenry last Sunday. They were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kaner's children, Helen and Joe Junior, John and Anna Kaiser, children of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kaiser, one boy and two girls of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Freund. Roy Hobart and a few of his friends spent last Sunday afternoon pic nicking. • Leta Page Thomas, little son, Eugene, and a friend were Sunday afternoon callers in the Hobart home. A family have moved to the farm known as the Sam E. Clark farm. Report says they are from Chicago and have purchased the farm. Some one has placed a sign on the corner where they leave the cement road and cross Hog's-back road, that can be read from both ways. The sign reads "private road." This has been a public road more years than anyone living knows. Who has such authority, is the question. Let otfr grocery dept. supply your wants. Fresh vegetables and fruits every day.

"But," cried his friend, "you surely wouldn't do that. It would make the poor little things cry." ^Precisely," replied the father, "that is the idea. Listen. This one"-- lie pinched one of the twins--"is evidently Bill; he tfries in high. C, while this"--he pinched the other-- "is James. He is always a semi-tone lower."--Exchange.
