Pickets were active on Tuesday and Wednesday and considerable milk is reported to have been dumped. Mc- Henry county, one of the largest in amount of milk supplied, is receiving its share of trouble, the principal points where the pickets are showing the ir.ost-activity being Crystal Lake. Harvard. Hebron, Cary, Fox River Grove, Ringwood, and Woodstock. At Ringwood a truck, containing . severity cans of milk, was dumped on Wednesday. Milton Stecker reported to Sheriff Henry Nulle that pickets damaged his truck considerably. He is a special deputy sheriff and filed a complaint against Ear^ Campbell of Ringwood. Campbell was arrested and given a hearing at noon before Justice Battern at Woodstock. The case was continued one week and the defendant held under bonds of $500. Trouble at Harvard Four deputy sheriffs were sent to Harvard Wednesday morning to answer a call from Ole Stalheim. PMA director from the fifth district. Seven -catis were dumped at Harvard that morning. Only 20,000 pounds of Harvard's daily supply of 85.000 pounds had been delivered at noon. At Hebron the Borden plant offi •cials boarded up the doors and windows of the plant and placed a sign on the building, stating that the plant was closed. It was said that it was doubtful whether the plant will reopen again regardless of the outcome of the strike. Hebron's daily supply of 114,000 pounds was almost entirely shut off, only about 10,000 pounds being delivered. Woodstock normally delivered about 95,000 pounds daily. On Wednesday only 8,000 pounds had been delivered at noon. A group of twenty picket3 surrounded the plant. Farmers who had arrived with their milk supply turned around and went home as soon as they were asked by the pickets. On Wednesday all milk was delivered at McHenry. But this (Thursday) morning a meeting was reported to have been held at the city hall and a vote taken, resulting in an agreement not to deliver any milk for three days. Reports Wednesday showed that no milk was delivered at Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Cary or Fox River Grove. Deliveries were made at Marengo. Milk Dumped at Genoa At Genoa, Wis., late Tuesday, a group of farmers, numbering between 100 and 125, broke the seals on five tank cars on a sidiijg of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and dumped 27,500 gallons of milk. They sped away in automobiles before Sheriff O'Brien of Walworth county reached the railroad yards. Four of the can were destined for the Bowman Dairy company and the fifth for Borden- Wieland, Inc. Former Sheriff Slagged Near Crystal Lake Tuesday afternoon a group of farmers stopped the Oakside dairy truck of Woodstock and dumped its contents. Cy Sanford, former county sheriff, was driving the truck. He was slugged in the face by one of the milk dumpers. Late Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Nulle and Deputy Sheriff Harold E. Reese escorted a Mid-City milk truck from Woodstock back across the Wisconsin state line. When the driver of the truck learned what' happened to Sanford's truck he decided not to try to get through to Chicago. He returned to Beloit with his load of milk.» j ° Dealers Appear Doubtful Bow much of Chicago's milk supply was shut off could not be definitely determined Wedneaday night. Estimates ranged from 16 per «ent by the dealers to 45 per cent by Fred Wolf of P&pineau, Iroquois county, president of the United Farmers of Illinois. The Associated Dealers, Inc., representing 115 dairy companies, which carry most of the milk to Chicago's doorsteps, promised regular deliveries Thursday, but declined to make any predictions beyond that. Protest Cut In Price The-organization of farmers, calling themselves the United Farmers of Illinois, which claims to represent 15,000 dairymen, launched the strike last Monday as a protest against the recent action of the PMA in signing an agreement with the dealers which fixed a top price of $1.75 a hundred pounds (3.76 cents a quart) for milk sold by a farmer member. This was i reduction from the previous price if $2.20 (4.73 cents a quart) and reulted in lowering the Chicago price STRIKES RELIEF AGENT; FINED 150 AND JAILED Andrew Soma, on relief, was fined $60. and costs by Magistrate Nolan atWoodstocklast Friday, following a hearing on a charge of assault and battery. Thursday moriiing Soma struck and knocked down Mrs. Gretta Marsh of Crystal Lake, a case worker for the Illinois Emergency Relief. Soma pleaded guilty to the chargs and the only excuse offered was that he lost his temper. He stated he had been refused food on account of being on work relief and that his check for his last week's work was in the mail. He boldly admitted striking Mrs. Marsh, and after testimony was Introduced, she informed the court that she had no desire to have Soma placed in jail over failure to pay a fine, but that she thought he should be placed: under bonds. In answer to this Soma said he did not want any sympathy and wanted to go to jail and serve his sentence like a man. He even indicated that while in jail if his children were not taken care of somebody would pay for it in the end. Russell Allen, assistant state's attorney, changed his mind about the peace bond idea following Soma's statement and asked the court to impose a fine of $100 and costs and Soma be sent to jail until such time as the fine and costs were paid. Soma then said to hurry it up because he was hungry and wanted to get over 'to jail in time to eat with the other prisoners. Mrs. Marsh was struck down when she informed Soma that he could not have a grocery order as long as he was on work relief and that his check was in the mail. Evidence disclosed that the family had been given some $800 worth of relief during the past eighteen that they had received as much or more than any family on relief in McHenry county. Persons in the Current News' of delivered bottle milk from 11 to 10 cents a quart. The United Farmers are demanding a fiat price of $2.50 a hundred pounds (6.37 cents a quart) for their milk. PMA Issues Statement The Pure Milk Association officials issued the following statement after a special Board of Directors' meeting to consider a threatened milk strike. "Because the Association is still negotiating for the betterment of price for its members, it cannot at this time approve any plan for withholding milk from the "market, realizing the danger of throwing this market into the' hands of those plants not now on the Chiacgo market. "Therefore, all members are expected to make their regular deliveries until otherwise and officially notified by your Board of Directors. "Due to a competitive situation in the Chicago Milk Shed, the price of milk to the consumer was reduced on September 1, and at the same time the price to the members of the Pure Milk Association lowered to $1.75 pet cwt. for Class one milk, and condensary price for the balance delivered up to 90 per cent of base. "This situation was brought about because other groups of producers were supplying their distributors only the amount of milk needed for their fluid milk trade at prices from 50c to 75c per cwt. under the prices received by Pure Milk Association members for their fluid milk sales. "The Pure Milk Association is anxious to have this price increased at the earliest possible moment when an orderly plan can be perfected that will maintain a stable market. "Thp Pure Milk Association has been working for a permanently better and orderly plan, and only accepted the above mentioned reduction after consulting with the Advisory Committee and Until better marketing conditions could be brought about. This could be accomplished more quickly if all groups of producers would co-operate." 800-MILE CRUISE T1m Marelto II, a Hunter made sport cruiser, is again docked at Waukegan after an 800-mile round trip down the Mississippi river to St. Louis and return. The nine men who made' the trip returned home Saturday after ten days of sight-seeing along the Illinois river and also the Mississippi river with the visit to St. Louis including attendance at the ball game between the Cubs and Cardinals. They also saw the boat races at St. Louis. « The Marelto II, which will go to Florida waters for the winter, was made by the Everett Hunter Boat company of McHenry this summer and is a model of beauty and line workmanship, with accommodations for a several days' cruise. Mrs. Maud Wheeler of DesPlaines spent last week as the guest of Mrs. William Spencer. Edward Knox and daughters, Dorothy and Anna, of Chicago were Sunday Tisilara here.

The girls and boys left in the school bus about 8 o'clock Saturday morning, accompanied by their teachers, Miss Mary Kinney and M. L. Schoettholtz. Supt. C. H. Duker, also, drove his car, taking Mr. Ellis, and two high school girls, Ruth Reihansperger and Eleanor Rolger. Arriving at the Field Museum about 10:30 o'clock the group was conducted to many of the interesting exhibits by Miss Cornell, who explained the history and facts concerning each one. Considerable time was spent among the animals, showing the lowest types to the higher stages, and the hall of prehistoric, man Was visited with its wonderful exhibits, showing in detail the advance of civilization from pre-historic days to the present advanced types of civilization. Tables were arranged in the lunch room so that the group ate lunch together, after which they were allowed to go about the museum Unescorted for a time. Shedd Aquarium About 2:30 p. m., the group walked to the Shedd Aquarium, where they saw a display of 1,000 different species of fish, including the sea horse, seal, sharks and a 300-pound halibut. A part of the gfoup then visited the Planetarium, where they heard a very interesting lecture on the four seasons, starting with the present date. These lectures are illustrated with a perfect imitation of the heavens in the dome above which makes them more interesting and easier to understand. This Saturday Mr. Ellis will take his General Science clas* of the high school on the same tour in Chicago. The -three buildings, the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and the Adler rlanetarium, are termed the greatest educational center in America with their $75,000,000 buildings overlooking Lake Michigan. Each year they draw millions of visitors in search of knowledge or entertainment. All were made possible through the generosity of Chicago's merchant princes. $7,000,000 Building The stately Ionijp building of the Field Museum cost $7,000,000, contains exhibits valued conservatively at $60,000,000 and is one of the greatest of the world's museums. The white marble aquarium nearby, is the world's greatest, cost $3,000,000 to build and contains fish valued in excess of $300,000. . The beautiful planetarium is the world's finest and represents with its equipment and muse:un. a gift of $1,000,000. The museum was founded in 1893 and for years occupied the old Fine Arts building of the Columbian Exposition at Jackson park. Marshall Field, Chicago's foremost merchant, gave one million to establish it and on his death in 1906 left eight million for its expansion. Workmen spent five years in construction of the new museum before it was opened to the public in 1921. The anthropology section alone has 200,000 exhibits on display. To select the outstanding exhibit is almost impossible, but from the thousands of visitors which it attracts many believe it to be the Neanderthal family. Here, behind glass, is the Neanderthalic man with his family of four. Loin-girded with fur, these repulsive Inures, low of brow, thick of neck, broad of nose, are what man was 500 centuries ago, as nearly as anthropologists can determine. This exhibit draws the attention of some 800,000 school children who visit the museum each year. Across the boulevard ffepm the museum is the aquarium for whteh John Shedd, business successor to Marshall Field, gave $3,000,000. Behind its gleaming walls of white marble are living some 7,500 of the world's fish. The building is finest among the thirty aquaria in the world of which eight are in North America. Opened in- 1929, it has been Chicago's fastest growing public attraction. Some 150 varieties of domestic and foreign fish are on display. For the salt water fish 160 tank cars brought a million gallons of ocean water from Key West, Fla., the cost of the delivery being $60,000. Equipment permits the water to be used again and again and the supply is expected to last twenty years more. Adler Planetarium Newest of the "big three" on the lake front is the planetarium, million dollar gift of Max Adler, retired vicepresident of Sears, Roebuck A Co. One of twenty in the world it is the first to be erected in America. Upon its copper-domed ceiling Director Philip Fox can project the arrangement of the heavens on any date in history. By a twist of a handle he can place the stars as they appeared-- to Egyption astronomers there three thousand years ago, as they appear to us tonight or as our descendants 500 years' from now will see them. The complicated machine for projecting the stars was made by famed Carl Zweiss of Jena. One hundred artisans worked two years to complete it. In the hall outside the lecture room is the museum of the planetarium. M. E. CONFERENCE CLOSESON SUNDAY Alby Krvy?, manager of the local National Tea Co., store, has been announced as the winner in two . sales contests put on by the company this summer, which is a distinct honor considering the number of managers competing. ; During May and June a contest was staged among the stores in the Chicago territory to find the store making the greatest increase in sales over the business done for the same period the previous year. 1 Mr. Krug won in this contest and was awarded double pay during his vacation which starts October 14. The the company put on a sweepstakes contest among the winners of the first contest who competed among themselves for the greatest increase in business. This was an exciting contest and competition was keen among the men who had all been proclaimed winners of their district in the earlier contest. Not to be outdone, however, the McHenry manager carried off the first prize in this contest, also, and was presented with the cash award of $100. He also received a framed hon* or award signed by the president, vice-president and assistant vice-president of the company, which now hangs in the Green street store. Considering the fact that about 800 stores out of the Chicago office competed in this contest, it was a real honor for , Mr. Krug to win and his store to be pronounced one of the TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES v Actual grading and pourihg of. concrete culverts was started last week on route 59 south of Barrington.

After two years they went to North Dakota, where they resided for several years, later returning to this vicinity. In June of this year Mr. and Mrs. Justen observed their silver wedding anniversary. Mrs. Justen is survived by her husband, six children, Edward, the oldest being 24, Clara, Christina, Wilfred, Clarence and Ralph; her father, Martin Lay; four brothers, Matt, John, Joe and Peter Lay, all of Spring Grove, and one sister, Mrs. Helena Klapperich, McHenry.

He was ordained in the ministry in 1900 and his leadership in these trying days of depression and difficulty has marked him as a Christian statesman of sterling worth. The sessions of the conference which close Sunday night, are replete with choice programs and noted speakers. Not the least interesting factor in the annual session of the conference is the laymen's part in the deliberation^. For years the laymen had a session of their own, but had no official relationship to the work of the conference itself. But now one layman from each church may sit in the conference with his pastor and the session is a joint one. The Rock River Conference is. the governing body for the more than 300 Methodist Episcopal churches in northern Illinois.*" It extends in area from Lake Michigan on the east to the Mississippi river on the west and south to a line drawn through Morris, Ottawa and Princeton. Not quite the largest conference in Methodism, it is, however, one of the most powerful. Like all Methodist conferences of today it is made up of the ministers and one lay representative from the churches in its jurisdiction. Lay delegates are elected by ballot by the membership of each local church. Bishop Assigns Ministers At each session the presiding bishop assigns the preachers to their churches for the following year. This, together with the large amount of vital business transacted, makes the annual conference a colorful and interesting session. According to last year's report there were 363 ' church buildings in the conference with an estimated total value of $21,847,500. Also there were 257 parsonages or minister's homes. These buildings served an active membership of 113,828 persons, or a constituency of three times that number. There are 364 Sunday schools maintained in the conference with an enrollment of 91,647 members. Saturday will be Youth Day at the conference when special attention will be given to th$ young people of the church. Henry - improved during the summer, which is good news for everyone.

Their friends were nothing loath t«i accept the invitation, for in view of the results of Hank and Clara's fisv ing trips in the past, they were cut ious as to just what would be usee for fish. Imagine their delighted surprise when the appetizers were served to find them a rare Scandinavian delicacy called Kippered Herrings They were packed in shapely oblong cans with a bright red label which proves that Clara is indeed a clever person as she says she not only caught most of the Herring, kippered them, designed the labels and made the cans herself.
