We learn that the Northwestern has, within a fevtr days, laid off 29 freight conductors, and many train-, men", all owing to light freight traffic. The Plaindealer and the weekly Inter Ocean both for. one year for $1.75. We learn that a family gathering was held at the residence of Nick Justen, at West McHenry, on New Year's Day. There was quite a number present and a pleasant time was . had by all. TWENTYHFIVE YEARS AGO The price of butter was quoted at ,36" cents on the Elgin board of tradd Monday. Several sleighing parties have taken place since our last publication. In spite of the severe cold winter that we are having, there is but ^ very little frost in the ground. The . heavy snow accounts for thiis condition. The. ice ,that is being harvested by UsrBftrden ptetfjple is seventeen inches thick. That's the kind we hear our grandfathers tell about. , Forty years ago butter was selling at 14 cents, eggs at 17 cent?, hogs at 4,2.50, oats at 20 cents and bran at 18.60. Compare these prices with those of the present time. ! ; ; Late Pari* Creation F0W> BRfcTCS OUT NEW 1935 • ! V8 The top of the dress is in white and black printed faille.

In the Circuit Courjt of .McHenry-and chassis are comparable Dearborn, Mich., Dec. 27 -- Henry Ford today showed to newspapermen here the new Ford V-8 for 1936. Most striking feature of the new car. is body lines which are distinctively modern and a definite departure from any previous Ford design. v The new car also embodies a com* bination of major engineering velopments aimed at increased riding comfort--which has been called the "center-poise" ride. Numerous improvements in chassis design to provide increased ease of control also are included. Two improvements have been made in the Ford V-8 engine, of whicu more than 1,300,000 are now on tne road. In addition Ford has developed a new type of body--the touring sedan, with unusually sleek lines and embodying a fitted rear trunk compartment integral with the body. Safety glass is standard equipment I not only in windshields, but also in all (doors and windows in all body types. ! The new car marks the present culmination of developments begun by I Ford three years ago at the time of ! the announcement of the V-8 engine.. In the three years intervening, Ford has been engaged in the development of combination of engineering improvements aimed at providing a degree of riding comfort and ease of control comparable with the performance of the engine itself. The new body designs are a further evidence of the progress of Ford engineering. In appearance, the new cars are characterized by a freshness of conception utilizing flowing curves to carry out the modern motif, plus a new treatment of interior and appointments which sound an entirely new note in Ford body styling.

Principal among these is the new "ride" effected by the new spring suspension system, proper car weight balance and passenger weight distribution and the location of the passenger closer to the center of the caT--so that the^ ridg between th« wheels. To accomplish this, the front spring, which has been lengthened, is located more than four inches in front o£..tfre front axle and the engine is moved forward more than eight inches so that its weight rests over the front axle. Front and rear springs have been made more flexible. Added chassis room available as a result of the front end improvements permits redistribution of the passenger weight-- now concentrated between the wheels --so that the wfcight on the two axles is approximately equalized, giving rear seat passengers the comfort of a "front seat" ride. i Key to the changes made in outward design is found in the relocation i of the front spring and engine. This Shas permitted moving the body forward so that passengers ride between the axles, and the development of rear quarter panel treatment along I flowing lines. The car is approxi- | mately eight inches longer from bumper to bumper.

Additional major chassis improvements include: Newly designed, internal expanding mechanical type brakes, intended to give more effective braking control-- with less pedal pressure--arid embracing a new "floating wedge" as part of t"he design. This aids in equalizing pressure upon brakeshoes and iti turn upon the drums. Additional druti, ribs give a 40 per cent increase in cooling effect. A new clutch of simplified design requiring less pedal pressure at starting and gear-changing speeds and with much softer action. At higher speeds the pressure is increased by •centrifugal weiglit action to increase the power transmitting capacity of th/ clutch.
