Charges tluit Chicago milk companies have been making a , sizeable profit out of the so-called "surplus" milk which they buy at a low price from dairy farmers were made Saturday by State Representative Frank A. McCarthy (Rep., JWgin) at a hearing of the legislative committee which is investigating the milk situation. The hearing was held in the city council chambers at the city hall. McCarthy declared that the companies receive more from consumers for the "surplus" milk which they buy at the low price from the farmers than for the "base" milk which is bought at a higher price. The reason for this, he asserted, Is that 90 to. 95 per cent of the "surplus" rfiilk is converted into cream and sold as such. Cites Companies' Records Records produced by the companies themselves before the committe, McCarthy said, show that since June, 1931, only 2 per cent of the total milk purchased from the farmers has been converted into products for which the "surplus" milk is intended such as butter, condensed milk, and skim milk The "base" milk, it was explained, is retailed in its entirety as milk. About 70 to 80 per cent of the total quantity of milk purchased by the dairy companies is "base" milk and the price paid the fanner for it is $1.75 a hundred pounds. But the companies are unable to take all the milk offered them at this price, they say, and thus the "surplus" system has coijie into force. "For "surplus" milk t^ farmer receives 75 cents a hundred pounds and TtfiVisi-obT^'Writ BIVEP. COTTAGES An investigation was-launched the last of the week into the burglary of five river cottages, north of McHenry, during the week. The thieves stole ah outboard moioir from the porch of Jos J. Schneider's pottage and at the adjoining home of Paul .Miller, a large quantity of clothing, bedding and other furnishings were taken. c.The burglars also broke locks on the front door of cottages owned by William Rapp, John Rapp, and Joseph Davis, but failed to disturb anything. The Schneiders had been living in their cottage and the thieves only entered the porch. The Miller family had just moved into their cottage for the summer and had returned to Chicago after more equipment. The other three cottages have only been occupied • on week-ends thus far this year. It is believed the loot was taken away in a motorboat as no automobile tracks were found near the cottages. Other similar burglaries were, reported north .of McHenry earlier this year but no trace has been found of the thieves. of the milk sold to the companies. Officials Are Questioned Officials of milk companies and officers of the Pure Milk association, the bargaining agency for 18,000 dairy farmers in the Chicago area, were questioned Saturday by Representative McCarthy to lay the basts for his charges. H. A. Pfister, president of the Pure Milk association, testified that until the legislative committee had obtain- OF HOLDS REUNION MEMBERS MEET *T|6 YEARS FIFI D 'ORSAY STAGES SHOW IN COURTROOM Mademoiselle Fifi D'Orsay, well known movie" actor, had her first day in court at Woodstock Tuesday. She made her appearance In the justice court of W. S. Battem in answer to a warrant served on ner at the Fox pavilion at McHenry by Constable Gus Vogel a week ago. The warrant was issued Ai a complaint mad)? by Jerre Perrau, her press agent, who charged she owed this milk constitutes 20 to 30 per cent J him back salary in the amount of $425. The warrant was for an attachment against her wages she had coming for her one night stand at the Fox. Mademoiselle D'Orsay made quite a spectacular appearance , in court She acted her part well and after some fifteen minutes of shouting, almost hysterically, she calmed down enough to proceed with the hearing- Don Wicks, Woodstock attorney, represented Jerrau. Attorney Arnold prices should be paid them for their milk. Pfister said that negotiations already are under way with the milk companies to get a better price for the farmers on "surplus" milk. Recommendations that the legislature enact laws which would safe •guard dairy farmers and the public against malpractices in the milk industry will be made by the legislative W ed the records from the companies on Davidson of Chicago acted as counsel how they dispose of milk for which,for Miss D'Orsay. Jerrau proved the they nay about $45,000,000 annually,! main witnfess in the hearing, the farmers had been obliged to de-J Jerrau told his story about the pend upon estimates and the "good I whole affair. He said he was emfaith" of the companies as to what ployed by the Amusement Service corporation of Chicago, which had/the contract of Miss D'Orsay for a tour of some ten middlewest states, as press agent for the show. He^was to receive a^ salary of $75 per week and $50 for expenses. He said he had been paid $465 of a salary for seven weeks which amounted to somewhere in the neighborhood of $900. It was for the balance of the salary that he nought an attachment on the salary due Miss D'Orsay from her performance at McHenry. Miss D'Orsay stated In court that the tour has been a t>ig "flop" and that nobody had any money and that they owed everybody. She said sh« thought Jerrau was lucky to have recived as much money as he did. After hearing had been in progress for an hour Miss D'Orsay shouted she was so hungry and dry that Justice Battern called a recess of fifteen minutes so the French star could get a bite to eat and a drink if she wished After the recess the hearing continued for several hours until sometime around 8 o'clock in the evening they reached ah agreement in which Jerrau was paid $295.65. This agreement seemed to please all concerned and the case ended with everybody happy. This amount was the finding of the court. Constable Vogel, who made quite a scene at the Fox when he served the warrant on the French star, was present at the hearing. Miss D'Orsay recognized him but greeted him with one "beeg" smile instead of a rage similar to that which she displayed when he served her with the** warrant. The proceeding appeared to be very new to Miss D'Orsay. She shouted several times that it "wag all the bunk and a lot of hooey" but all in all she played her part well.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nickels and family have moved to the flat over the Claire Beauty shop in the Hunter building. Mr. and Mrs. Chase moved from thi9 flat to the former Pries building on Green street. ORCHESTRA TO DEBUT AT 'TENT' A new orchestra, under the baton of Elmer Freund, local violinist, will be the feature attraction at the new Tent Pavilion, one-fourth mile north of the old river bridge. The band is composed mainly of local musicians, featuring the wellknOwn piano player "Huppy".Schoewer and with Tony Schneider, versatile drummer. Numbering seven pieces the band boasts of musicians such as "Dick" Shelton, direct from the campus of the University of Illinois, after a very successful season on the campus with the "New Yorkers," Such an aggregation as this is worthy of local support and it is the wish of the boys as well as our own that the community give# than* the they deserve. / * VETERANS ARE RECRUITED Recruiting of McHenry county'! eterans to fill seven positions in the Civilian Conservation corps was completed at Woodstock last week. Two were rejected for physical disability, being Arthur Patzke of McHenry and Mat Haber of Cary.

C ; : v , • • OUR INVITATION TO VISIT EMPIRE THEATRE Many years have passed, , yet the memories of school days lingered clear and refreshing when members of the1' graduating class of the McHenry high school of 1907 held their first reunion on Saturday evening, June 17, 1933. Ten members, of the ~clasfe, with* their husbands and wives, gathered at Bickler's hotel, where a delicious chicken dinner was served at 7:30 o'clock, after which the party went to the home of Miss Clara Stoffel, one of the class members', where the remainder ."of the evening was spent in visiting and remininescences. For the sake of auld lang syne, the pictures of former school days were brought, clippings concerning high •school days and commencement were read, bringing back many memories of good times of school days, and the class prophecy, written by Miss La Nette Whiting and the class history written by Miss Nellie Newman were read. Each one also brought their baby picture, which were readily guessed by others present. Those were the good old days when hearts were light and all the days were happy, although often times bringing rebukes from some beloved teacher when mischievous pranks became too evident. If the ears of former teachers were burning Saturday night it was, as the saying goes, because they were being talked'about by members of the class of '07, and never more than now hava their former pupils appreciated the effort they put forth to instill some learning into heads filled with thoughts of nearly everything but studies. E. C. Fisher/beloved teacher and high school superintendent, who left McHenry just one year before the class graduated, is always remembered with love and words of praise and commendation as are Miss Agnes Perry, eighth grade teacher, now Mrs. Agnes Grout of Waterloo, la., Mrs. Mary L. Cobb, seventh grade, Jessie Baldwin, now Mrs. T. P. Walsh of Grayslake, Mrs. Dora Price, Frances Osborne, now Mrs. Frances Bronyette second grade teacher, Annis Jewett* music teacher, Kate F. Howe, now Mrs. Will Fay of Elgin, first grade teacher, and other teachers. The class graduated under Supt. William F. Rice. Fourteen In Class On June 3 the class of '07 graduated from high school when it was located in the same building with tha grade school long before the new Community high school was built. The class consisted of fourteen members and was the largest class ever to graduate from high school up to that time. . • *: Members of the class were: Mrs. Anna Carey, valedictorian; Florence Carey, Clara Stoffel, Louise Evanson, Florence Granger (now Mrs. Harry Alexander of Hebron), Mrytle Wattles (now Mrs. C. L Harrison of Ringwood), Lillian Wheeler, salutatorian (now Mrs. James Sayler), Earl McAndrews, John Larson (now of Tecumseh, Mich.), Nellie Newman (now Mrs. Louis McDonald), Eva Wheeler, LaNette Whiting (how of Elgin), Alford Pouse and John Sutton. Two members, of the class are dead, Eva Wheeler being overcome by gas in a mine at Thermopolis, Wyo., in 1910, and Anna Carey, dying suddenly of a heart attack in 1912. Miss La Nette Whiting of Elgin and Alford Pouse were the other two members of" the class not present, although all were remembered in the recollections of school days. Louise Evanson, a graduate of Northwestern University and now a practicing doctor of dental surgery in Chicago, was present, as was also John Larson, a graduate of Princetown college, and now manager of the Quaker Oats company factory at Tecumseh, Mich., and mayor of the city. The other out-of-town member present was Mrs. Harry Alexander of Hebron. The clasis flower was the white carnation, class colors, green and white and class motto, "Excelsior." A number on the commencement program was a debate on the subject, "The Several McHenry boys who are members of the Civilian Conservation corps at Fort Sheridan spent a, day over the week-end at their homes here The boys wore their khaki uniforms aiid appeared much like the uniformed ^oldiers of World war days.

They received their last shot Saturday, making them immune from nearly twenty different diseases, just about all the maladies with the exception of malaria.

This is believed to be a -record for all time. Three of the schools recorded the largest totals in the history of their ^schools while others were just about even or one or two less. Harvard topped the list with 79 graduates. Crystal Lake was second with 73. Both these schools set new records for graduation numbers in their respective schools. Another to set a new record was Marengo' with 49. Woodstock fell short one graduate of tying the largest number ever to graduate from the local school. In 1925 a total of 73 students received diplomas here. In 1924 a total of 70 graduated while this year the total was 72. These are the three largest totals on record. Girls led boys in total numbers having an edge in the amount of 28. A total of 173 boys and 201 girls made up the list. Woodstock high favored girls to the tune of 45 to 27.
