Early Wednesday morning the mercury in this vicinity registered as low as 24 below and no relief is in sighi for several days, according to weather forecasts. ^ The snowfall in this region was .about tfix inches during Monday night and, blown by the high northwest winds, traces of roads were soon obliterated and the country" was practically snowbound. Isolated by the blinding, drifting snow, farm homes in this community stood alone Tuesday with neighboring farms which appear so near in days of pleasant weather now removed to seemingly great distances by insurmountable drifts of snow and walls of the swiftly blowing flakes through which even a neighboring house could scarcely be seen. All day Tuesday and most of the 0. E. S. MASQUERADE .^SATURDAY EVENING • V • y-'v'•' --* The third annual masquerade dance sonsored by the McHenry chapter, O. E.

Mr. McKenzie was giving the full of tightly packed snow through which even horses and sleds could not break a track.

All day Tuesday giant snow plows travelled back and forth on Route U. animal some medicine when the accident happened. Lyle Spencer Martin, 26, of Gurnee, was accidentally killed late last Wednesday when he tumbled into a coal bin 30 feet higfc at the North Shore Coke and Chemical company plant in Wlaukegan. Martin, who had been employed at the company for three years was working with a crew of other men near the coal bin which is 30 feet high. About 3 p. m. his fellow employes missed him. A search was PROMINENT III MILK ^ ASSN. AFFAIRS ( Willis J. Kittle, 77 years old, longtime resident of this, vicinity, died at his home in Crystal Lake at 5:30 p. m. Thursday. Hfe was born on a farm known as the John Gracy farm, south of McHenry, on Oct. 3, 1856, and was the son of Jane Musgrove and James Kittle. ... -- With the exception of two years spent in Michigan he had lived in this vicinity and at Crystal Lake his entire lifetime. Mr. Kittle was the last of a famfily of three children. A brother, John, and sister, Etta*, preceded him in death. Educated in local schools and at Valparaiso* University, he taught for many years in rural schools near McHenry and Ringwood. He was married to Rose Nickle and she and their two children, a son and daughter, preceded him in death, the mother dying in 1904. In June. 1^912, he was married to Miss Laura Paine, who, with one son, James, survives. Secretary Marketing Co. In recent years, precemng his retirement, he served as secretary and later as manager of the Milk Producers Assn. Marketing company in Chicago. He returned last November from two years spent in Michigan. Funeral services were held Sunday at 2 p. m., in the Methodist church in which he was an active member. Rev. H. P.

While Route 20, east of McHenry, was not blocked entirely the route west of McHenry to Woodstock was impassable and no one travelled the highway with the exception of Lloyd Benwell, who got throat! both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings with his load of milk. Tracks Stalled ' A Colonial bread truck and other trucks were stuck at Sherman hill all day Tuesday and Wednesday waiting for the snow plow to open the road. About fifteen McHenry men employed at'the Alemite factory at Woodstock were unable to get to their work and some planned to make the trip by train today. Attorney A. H.

Although his body was removed from the bin within 20 minutes efforts to revive him proved futile. The children that wera kept at the Round Lake school Wednesday night of last week were all home by Thursday afternoon. Residents on cross roads were somewhat inconvenienced for a few days, but it takes time to open 34 miles of roads, and the work was done as swiftly and efficiently as possible. Coal and oil dealers were severely taxed in making necessary deliveries, but no one went--cold or hungry. Signal honors were bestowed on four Libertyville boys last week when the members of the Skokie Valley Boys, local musicians, received a contract from the Midwest Recording company for several weeks of vaude L. Elmer Hulse, Home Owners Loan Corporation sub-district manager for Lake and McHenry counties; with offices at Waukegan, severed his connection with the HOLC administration on Feb. 1, when ther Lake-McHeriry sub-district was absorbed by the new district office at Aurora. The Waukegan collection office will remain at the Waukegan State Bank building, with Assistant Service Supervisor, Richard C. Stenger in charge. Home owners in the Waukegan district have received over $6,000,000 in HOLC loans, with over 3,300 applications and over 1,700 loans. McHenry county participated in about one-sixth of .these loans, which is about in proportion to the population of the two counties. While the final group of applications will be acted on in Aurora, all collection work will be handled through the Waukegan office. All applications for re-conditioning of homes on which loans have been made will be handled at Aurora. "Mr. Hulse retires from his position with an excellent record," says the Waukegan News-Sun. "None of the scandal that rocked the Illinois branch of the HOLC. in its early days has touched Hulse's management. His integrity and wide experience in the real estate field won the confidence of the community from the start and silenced any charge of- favoritism or mismanagement" Mr. Stenger, formerly of McHenry, was Mr. Hulse's assistant, and now becomes assistant service supervisor under E. B. Rauch, district manager at Aurora. H. S.

BOY SCOUTS HOLD FATHERS AND SONS BANQUET TUESDAY The Boy Scouts and Scouters sponsored a Fathers and Sons banquet at the high school Tuesday night. The affair was well attended and proved popular enough to warrant more of these gatherings in the near future. Dr. George W.

About fifty bc>ks fire being rented from the State "Library Extension Division and as many more-of the finest and late boofcs are being purchased.

The state department is giving valuable assistance in the library work and is going over tke liet of books donated to the .library and censoring the list With the half year of study just completed at the Community high school some changes, are being made in the course of study and half-year subjects are being supplemented by others. A subject which is growing in popularity at the high school at the high school and in which several additional enrollments have been made for the last half of the school year is that of agriculture, which is being taught by Gerald Reed, who is also the teacher of biology and athletic coach. Although a short course in agriculture has been previously taught at the local school, this is the first year that the subject has been taught in l a more extensive course, which is | claiming the attention of students and increasing their desire to pursue this study. The first half of the course was devoted to the study of livestock or animal husbandry, while the second half will be devoted to the study of soils and crops, known technically as agronomy. Trips Into Country Daily recitation periods are fortyfive minutes, with double periods twice a week for laboratory work and experiments. At least once a week during the animal husbandry course field trips have been made into the country where outstanding farms were visited and livestock judged and graded, including cows, horses, chickens, sheep and hogs. In addition to this, chickens and sheep were brought to the high school building, where they were kept in an extra room in the basement and studied by the class during the two-hour laboratory periods. The tours into the country were arranged by the secretary of the class, Earl Klintworth, and many interesting farms raising pure-bred livestock were visited and real practical knowledge concerning the judging and grading of stock was obtained. During the week that certain animals were studied in the text book farms raising the same types were visited and theory was supplemented by actual experience. Various types of horses were studied ..such as saddle horses, draft horsee, etc., and the same plan applied to cows, sheep and other animals. During the second half-year in the study of soils and crops, more of the experiments can be made -at---school where the conservatory will be of great benefit in the laboratory work. Already seeds have been planted in the greenhouse in which various germination tests will be made, as well as many soil tests, where the students can watch results daily. An interesting study will be made of how each crop is grown and of different kinds of soil and a few trips will be made into the country through the spring season. Circulars and Pamphlets Circulars and pamphlets from the state experiment stations and literature and experiments from the U. S. Department of Agriculture are also used to supplement the text book* and it is expected that some real practical results will be derived' from the course. The course is being made more important by the knowledge imparted by the teacher, Mr. Reed, who teaches this subject in a manner to create an interest in practical agriculture. Having received degrees in agriculture from two outstanding colleges, Purdue and Iowa State college, and having taught the extensile Smith.| Hughes twelve-month agriculture, course in Minnesota and South Da-; kota, Mr. Reed is exceptionally well, prepared to teach the subject and it j is because of his extensive preparation that he can present the facts in an interesting manner. | The Smith Hughes agriculture course is an extensive "one in which j students specialize in the work, devot- ; ing about three-quarters of the day to the study of the one subject with j certain requirements to be met and I work inspected. | Such a course as this, of course, cannot be taught in a school of this size, but the medium course, which i< being taught in the local school, is gaining in popularity, wi(,h inquiries already being made as to opportuni- j ties for taking the course another year, when it is expected that a larger enrollment will be registered.
