Professor J. A. McLean, head of the Live Stock Service Department of The Quaker Oats Company, also head of the Monona Live Stock Experimental Farm, owned and operated by that company at Madison, Wis., will address those present. Professor McLean has been known to ths live stock industry of the United States and Canada for a great many years, and his address will be one of importance to this community, particularly at the present time when there is a real problem to contend with in dairy products. . Doctor O. B. Kent, a man already known to many in this community because oi his activities at the Quaker Oats Company's large experimental farm for poultry at Libertyville, Illinois, will also be on the program. Dr. Kent's remarks will be timely and well worth hearing, coming as they do right at the beginning of another chick season. Doctor Kent is one of er there were none of the Chicago counttys outstanding poultry members present with the exception of hushandry< *nd his aHdress will be of the president, R. B. Walsh, and the golf professional, Harry Morris. The financial report for the year wag very satisfactory, many improvements were made during the year and the business progressed in a most harmonious manner. It is gratifying and a commendation to so many of the officers to be re-elected *in the expectations of continuing the good work they have accomplished. Among the improvements made last year were those made on the shelterer which were completed, nearly doubling the size of the building. More recreation rooms were made, additional showers were installed, a I chen was built and new furniture was purchased. Four of the greens, numbers 1, 2, 8, and 10, were improved by rebuilding and seeded to bent stollen, while the low spot in the No. 1 fairway has been filled and will be sodded in spring* The work is being done under the direction of A. L. Purvey, who is an expert in this line of work and -who takes much pride In perfecting the conditions of this beautiful golf course. It is expected that the course will be in the best of playing condition that it has ever experienced at the opening of the season and a bigj^ r year than ever is anticipated. Twenty-four Years Old :<ip&e members of St- Clara's Court, No. 659, Women's Catholic Order of Foresters, commemorated their twenty- fourth birthday anniversary on Wednesday evening, Jan. 15, at St. Mary's church hall. About eighty members were present to enjoy the six o'clock dinner and the meeting which followed, with cards and bunco furnishing the entertainment later in the evening. ' The hall presented a beautiful appearance, decorated in crepe paper festoons of yellow and white and with the tables artistically decorated in the court's colors of yellow and white and a large birthday cake prettily decorated in yellow and white and lighted with twenty-four candles completed the artistic arrangement. The guests of honor were the past chief rangers, five of whom were present, and the charter members, nine of them being present. The past chief rangers present were: Mrs. Josephine Heimer, Mrs. Katherine Freund, Mrs. Catherine Schneider, Mrs. Emma RINGWOOD COUPLE MARRIED 50 YEARS CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY MONDAY" 5 especial interest to everyone in this community. Three rfeels of motion pictures w!ll be shown featuring the manufacturing of Quaker feeds at Cedar Rapid;, Iowa, the operation of the experiment farm at Madison and the Full-O-Pep Poultry farm at Libertyville. There is an unfortunate condition existing at the present time in the dairy industry, a part of which rural communities are responsible for them- ' selves. One of the remedies is that substitutes for butter should not be used by dairymen. Money is being spent for those substitutes, forcing onto the market an ever Increasing supply of butter, and since that market is governed absolutely by supply and demand, it would seem that a good many of our rural districts are contributors to a situation that lies the' within their power to correct; at least, to a certain extent. There is a great deal of educational work being done by health authorities, dairy leagues of different^ kinds, and other educational agencies, both through the press and by radio, at tempting to educate people to use more milk and more butter; for instance, if every man, woman, and child in the country were to consume one extra ounce of milk per day, .t would require 250,000 30-pound cows to produce that amount of milk. The fact remains, however, that we would not need the additional cows, but the market at the present time for an additional 7,500,000 lbs. of milk daily, which represents the one ounce per person increased consumption, would remove all dairy difficulties. An industry that is as vital to this community as the dairy industry is and one that has as much bearing on our existence and prosperity as the poultry business does shpuld be supported. It is the hope of the management of the McHenry Co. Farmers Co-op. Assn., that every dairyman and poultryman in this locality will be present at this meeting and avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Dr. Kent and Dr. McLean, two of the foremost authorities on their particular profession in the United States. A ton of Sugared Vim Feed or ita equivalent in Full-O-Pep poultry feed will be given away to some farmer or poultryman attending this meeting.

The first big meeting of the year is being planned for this night by Grand Knight John Bolger and a very unique entertainment is in store for all those who can find their way clear to attend. Nothing much may be said about the attraction beforehand except that it Is a very modern invention that as yet has not been put on the market. The local council should consider itself very fortunate to secure this attraction and it is only by promising the utmost secrecy that this has been arranged. Ingenious may be the way to describe it, hut Tt Is a certainty that all those who witness this performance will be searching the dictionary for suitable adjectives. And there will also be a lunch. January 30, at 8:15, at the K. of C. hall. CALIFORNIA, HEBE WE COME! Such weather!

Harrison 'fen- Joy Day, Surrounded By Rela- . tives and Friends On Monday, Jan. 20, 1930, occurred the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Harrison, well known citizens of Ringwood. This was a perfect day for the happy couple, who with all of their children and their families, relatives and friends gathered around them, lived over again the fifty golden years of their life spent together with many happy reminiscences of past events and old friendships. It is not an every-day occurrence for the lives of two people to be spared for a companionship of fifty years and when this does happen the fortunate couple is looked upon with a great deal of respect and admiration. Many rough spots on the sea of life have been successfully weathered by this estimable couple, who are now enjoying a life or comfort and peace together at their home in Ringwood. At noon a delicious dinner was enjoyed by Mr. and Mris. Harrison with their children and grandchildren, those present being Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peet and daughters, Alice and Marian, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Harrison and sons, Neil and Howard Bruce, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Harrison and son, Earl, of Ringwood; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Henzie, of Crystal Lake; Edward Harrison, of Elgin, and Lora Harrison, of Evanston. The golden color scheme was carried out in all of the decorations with the home beautiful for the occasion with bouquets of carnations and yellow roses. During the afternoon reception scores of friends, about sixty-five in all, came from far and near to greet them and extend congratulations and best wishes, and everyone was requested to register before leaving. The friends who spent a social afternoon in the exchange of reminiscences were served with ice cream and cake and on their departure left many wishes for the continuance of happiness in the golden years yet to come to this worthy couple. During the day they received many beautiful gifts from relatives and friends and scores of cards, letters and messages of congratulations from friends unable to be with them. Married Jan. 20, 1880 George H. Harrison and Mary Ellen Brush were married at her home in Modena, Mo., on Jan. 20, 1880, and came directly to Illinois, where they engaged in farming near Ringwood. After living for one year on land belonging to his father they removed to the farm which became their permanent home. This farm consisted of 240 acres and here they made extensive improvements, building a large barn in 1899 and with the large residence made one of the most pleasant homes in the county. Mr. Harrison also added to his land until he became the owner of nearly 400 acres. About ten years ago they retired from active work and moved to Ringwood, where they are now living. They have six children living: Mrs. Charles Peet, Raymond, Walter. Mrs. Henry Henzie of Crystal Lake, Edward of Elgin and Lora of Evanston. One child, Flor- Ace, died in infancy. George H. Harrison, 78 years old, was born Oct. 3, 1851, on a farm near Greenwood and has always lived in this vicinity where he is well known. He is the son of Richard Harrison and Cathrine Dodge Harrison. Richard Harrison came to McHenry county ?n 1842, bringing with him a small amount of money and soon after purchased eighty acres of land upon which he erected a log cabin and put up several stacks of hay cured from the natural prairie grass. Richard Harrison was a man of sturdy character and was among the substantial citizens of McHenry county. He held many local offices, including those of commissioner of highways and school director. He died Sept. 5, 1884, and his wife died at the home of her son, Oeoree H., Dec. 7. 1896. George H. Harrison received his education in the schools of his locality and in boyhood besran working on the farm. Mrs. Harrison is 67 years old, and was bom at Modena, Mo., on March 26, 1862, the daughter of Louis and Harriet -Brush. The Brush family came from New York to McHenry county in pioneer davs but later became residents of Missouri. Louis Brush first settled in Hebron township, where he worked for seven years and where he was married, after which they spent some time in Wisconsin and Iowa and settled in Missouri. Mrs. Harrison was one of a familv of six children her brothers and sisters bfing Millie, Charles, Milo, Wilbur and*Walter. English Ancestry Going back to the history of Mr, Harrison's father we find the interesting fact that he was born at Yorkshire, England, where at least four generations of the family had lived before him. He received a limited education in his native country and followed tl\e life of a farmer. In 1830, at the age of twenty-two years, in company with two of his brothers and three other friends he came to Canada and settled at Prescott on the St. Lawrence River. He was thus the first of his family to cross the ocean to the new world. (Continued on Last Pagtif Prominent Speakers, Including the State Commander, To Bet ' Here Tonight Tonight the local American Legion post, with Fred C. Schoewer as commander, will be host to the members of the McHenry County American Legion at the K. C. hall in this city. This promises to be a big event for the members of the local post, who exuect about 250 visitors as their guests for the evening. The ladies of the local Legion Auxiliary will assist by serving the lunch. Many prominent speakers are expected to appear on the program inT eluding Edward Hayes, State Commander of the American Legion, who will be guest of honor. Father Lonergan and Atty. William Carroll of Woodstock and Arnold Benson of Batavia, district commander. A committee of local Legionnaires has been working for several weeks in an effort to arrange a nrogram of interest and also entertainment for the meeting, which promises to be one of the outstanding meetings in U» Mstory of the organization. M HENRY ARTIST At FIELD MUSEUM Jacob F. Stock Writes of Interesting Work He Is Doing In Chicago Friends of Jacob F. Stock will be pleased to learn of his unusual and interesting work in Chicago, where he is now working in the Field Museum. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Stock of this city and has always shown' an artistic talent, which he at present is making use of in the work which he finds most interesting. In an extract from one of his letters he says that he is working in the Stanley Field Botanical Laboratories of the Field Museum in Chicago, on a group that it will take until 1933 to complete. The subject is the formation of coal from trees and plant life; vegetation that sprouted thirty to forty feet without branches, the leaves growing out of the trunk which is too soft and pulpy to support the weight of branches. Fossils are used to compare with the reconstruction which were found by Dr. Doldren when on his South American expedition and will be the largest exhibit ever attempted by the museum. The fossil trees are built in the work rooms, then taken down and reassembled when everything is in order for them, such as background painting, which must be painted in first, and the realistic painting that must blend in with the foreground. This exhibit and others will be open to the public during the World's Fair and will be far beyond anyt&uig. that we can conceive possible. FEED THE BIRDS At this time of the year, when the ground is covered with a blanket of snow the birds have a difficult time in getting food and unless some relief is afforded by the people they cannot survive. Scatter crums over the snow and observe how soon these birds will come for them. Especially is this true of the game birds, such as quail, prairie chickens, pheasants and Hungarian partridge. Farmers can do much to preserve the lives of these game birds by scattering grain for them during the snowy weather. The Department of Conservation of Illinois is doing all' in its power to import, propagate, maintain and protect game birds, but in such times as these, on account of the widespread bad weather conditions, it needs the help of everyone and every agency that feels a kindly interesting in the birds. Start feeding them today. AMONG THE SICK ^ Mrs. M. J. Freund is recovering after an illness of the grippe. Mrs. Lucretia Dowell entered Sheran hospital at Elgin for treatment, Friday. Mrs. E. W. Mills of Carpentersville is recovering from an operation at the Edgewater hospital in Chicago. Mrs. Mills was formerly Miss Hettie Wentworth of this city. Kathrine Vandetti, 10 years old, of Chicago is at the Franklin Boulevard hospital, Chicago, where she is seriously ill with infection. A blood transfusion was made this week which it is hoped will benefit her. She was a pupil in the fifth grade of the McHenry public school the firai of the year. V OPENS REPAIR SHOP Alvin C. Peterson has taken over the repair shop in the Morrow garage building in West McHenry and started work Monday morning. Mr. Peterson has had eighteen years' experience in this line and is^ a well known mechanic in this locality. He is equipped to do all kinds of car, truck and general repair work on all makes and models. ' r. -FIRST ROBINS Math Bauer, McHenry's well known Ice man, informs the Flaindealer that three robins were seen in his yard Monday morning of this week. We could make a lot bf sarcastic remarks about these birds the way the weather is, but hope they are right.

CHICAGO FLORIST TO LOCATE HERE ERECTING GREENHOUSES ON ROUTE 61 Michael McCarthy Buys Three Acres ftom Robert Knox, Also Roaedale Houses The people of McHenry will again have their greenhouses where those of the most aesthetic taste may be satisfied in their desire for the beauty of nature expressed in the hot house plants and flowers. Such is the information brought to Us by Michael McCarthy of Chicago who has already purchased a desirable site and has started the woTk of erecting his greathouses. While the cold north winds blow and the ground is covered with snow with never a sign of a leaf or flower in sight we're going to look ahead into the future a bit and encourage the pessimists and strengthen the belief that "high tide or low, McHenry will grow," by relating a story of flowers and of a man who has spent his entire life-time in the culture and study of the beauties of nature. Despite the rigors and uncertainties of the winter when business seems to be slack and, according to many, times are hard, Mr. McCarthy / decided to sever his business relations in ths city, give up his beautiful new home and come to McHenry, where he plans to make his future home and build for the people of this vicinity just the right kind of a retail flower establishment that many of us have been wishing for. For his enterprise and courage in seeking a new home and new fields for his efforts, when many conditions look none too promising, Mr. McCarthy is entitled to the united support and co-ope ration of every citizen in this locality with the aim to make him like his new loca tion and feel that success awaits him. Although it will be several months before the business will be established so as to bring the owner any remuneration for his work, yet McHenry may feel that it has added a new business concern to its ranks which should be a promising sign for the future prosperity of our city, coming in the first month of the new year, This new business concern will bf known as the McHenry Flower Com pany, and will be located just south of the city, on Route 61, which will be a most advantageous position for residents as well as visitors of our city. Buys Three Acres Mr. McCarthy has purchased three acres of land, with an option on two acres, from Edwin Knox, on the west side of the highway where he plans to put up five or six hot houses, with boiler shed, and where he will also build a house where he and his family will make their home. He has purchased the eight greenhouses now owned by Math Tinnes, which he recently purchased from Mrs. Minn;e Work of taking them apart and salwork o ftaking them apart and salvaging the glass, lumber and other parts which he will Tebuild on his new location. The owner hopes to be able to get five or six houses out of the material now comprising the eight houses. Miioh of the glass and other material can be used again, while the benches and much of the interior will need to be built of new material. The framework is made of cypress, which withstands the ravages of weather and age and this, with the glass, will be used again in the rebuilt houses which will average about 125 feet in length and about 30 feet in width. While the owner has been doing most of the /work on the glass himself, he has eight men employed in other ways and hopes to get one house under cover as soon as possible, which will make several phases of the work easier for him. The framework for one house was already up when the severe wind of a few nights ago blew it down so that the work of the several men, for several days, has counted for naught. Mr. McCarthy realizes that the weather is very much against his work at the present time, and feels that with the arrival of more favorable weather much more can be accomplished. He plans to continue with the work, however, as fast as it is possible to do so. The florist business is one which requires much time and capital in getting started as the houses, when new, are valued at nearly (7,000 each, and it takes some time for the little plants to get started. Retail Business Mr. McCarthy plans to raise a general line of pot plants and cut flowers and will endeavor to give his customers variety at reasonable prices. The business will be purely retail and will depend upon the patronage of local people and will be operated with the one idea of giving service and satisfaction to the trade in this community. One price will be maintained and will not be advanced on special occasions, such as Mothers Day, Easter and other times when flowers are especially desirable. His one aim will be to please the people and to build up a business with satisfied customers. Mr. McCarthy has been in the florist business all his life, and knows it thoroughly. He has been foreman for Foehlmann Brothers, florists of JUNIORS TO STAGE PLAY JANUARY 30 "Who Wouldn't Be Crasy?" WUI Be Presented at McHenry ' H. S. Andttorium Juniors ask, "Who Wouldn't Be Crazy?""
