L This- is a decrease of 25 cents on each ^ hundred pounds, ordered by the agri- W:;#ptural adjustment administration. v-.. . The. reduction is expected to cause " touch discontent' among the dairy farmers because of the shortage of feed due to the long drouth. They have been shipping in feed for many months no^ and only lately asked the AAA officials for an increase of cents a hundred pounds for fluid^ f||lk. The request was denied them Jfo Change for Consumer The drop in price to the producers will not affect the consumers' price of 10 cents a quart, it was said, as the dealers asked for a decrease of at .least 50 cents a hundred in order to prevent raising the price to 11 cents li quart. They appealed to the dairy \ c^ief of the farm administration for a decrease in price to producers because they contended the federal dairy code prevented them from making a fair profit. Tte action of the- Washington of- ~ ficiais--was looked upon by the officials of the Pure Milk Association . as arbitrary and with harmful effect on the ' financial condition of .'•.>-.i^oduc«rs in this area. w . • i , Give Reasons for Order _ Present conditions of supply and demand and prices paid to the producers for milk used in manufacturing dairy products indicated the necessity for a temporary reduction In the price to the producers, the farm .- adjustment officials said. "If and wh£n conditions improve in rt spect to supply and demand and if better fat prices continue to improve, the price may be returned to •:.v;::#|e former level," they added. Tf e decrease of 25 cents a hundred ^ founds will amount to about onefburth of a cent a quart to the farmers. Its general affect will be to reduce the farm income many thousands of dollars each month, Pure MilRAsgocistion officials declared: f'CRAZY POLITICS" ^ WELL RECEIVED * , v*" <Sf .

"The play opened with' the caucus group, headed by the, German band, inarching to their headquarters on the stage, through the aisles of the auditorium at the high school where the " play was given. Among the familiar faces seen in the caucus group were those of McHenry'c business men, Richard Fleming, P. J. Schaefer, C. W. Goodell, G. H. Johnson, Joe Regner, Jim Perkins, Ray McGee, Art Smith, Nick Freund and others, who carried banners and campaign signs with one carrying a heavy burden tabled the "public debt," while aneitheT had equally as heavy a load, -•Saxes." Every member of the cast execut- '•••tjsd his or her part in a manner that was remarkable, considering the short time allowed for rehearsals and reflected credit on the cast and on the director, Miss Glee Schaefer. Chorus numbers were beautiful *ith perhaps the most stirring chorus being the "Good Old U- S. A.," sung by tlie girls' chorus in appropriate . t*dy white and blue costumes. The ones making the greatest hit T.#ere, no doubt, the future generation sophisticated kiddies, Barbara Ann Krauze, Susan Olson, Ella Mae Schaefer, Norman Taxman, Walter Richardscn and Jerry Lawson, who merited the applause of the audience by^ their sunning appearance. "f; Jake St off el as Abie Goldberg and fcis wife, Mrs. Goldberg, played' by -Blsie Vyci|al, enacted their parts to perfection, with the make-up of Abie • ...ao perfect that many in the audience were kept guessing as to his identity. Mrs. Lillian Krause was charming her lead role with her sweetheart the play, Pat O'Donrfell, played by William Green. These, and other leading characters, as well as the entire cast, played their difficult roles ; Hi their usual competent and charming manner, •nevfr failing to "please their audience. The proceeds of the play will be used by the Mothers club in its relief and charity work of the winter With a part going into the library •fund, which is also one of the projects - '-of the Mothers club. Relatives here were saddened and friends were shocked to receive news of the death of little Natalie Ann Simes, 16-ytear-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Simes of Hebron, Thursday afternoon, October 25 at the Harvard hospital, from injuries received on Tuesday of last week when she was hit by an automobile in front of her home about* a mile and a half east of Hebron. jfhe little girl had ridden home from school with her cousin, Arthur Eggert, who had his little sister as well as several neighbor children in the car with him and he stopped to let them out in front of his home, just across the highway from Natalies home- Another car stopped to pick up some of the children and Natalie intended-to cross the highway to her home.

She was taken to Hebron for first aid and' then immediately to Harvard hospital, where she never regained consciousness and died Thurs: day afternoon. The little body was severely broken and bruised, with a broken thigh and pelvis bone, a broken collar bone, a concussion of the brain and possible internal injuries Natalie was a quiet child, always looking both directions before crossing the road and the accident was a very sad one.

She never wanted to miss a session and enjoyed learning the songs taught in the Sunday school. H. M. Ober, deputy coroner of Mc- Henry county, conducted inquest at Hebron Friday morning and a verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury. Popenhagen was exonerated. of blame for the accident, which was founds to be unavoidable.
