This, perhaps, is partly due to the fact that most of the corn grown in this vicinity is now of the hybrid variety, a kind noted for its hardiness and superiority over ordinary corn. The soy bean crop, however, WHS considerably damaged by the incessant rainfall. Much of it had been cut and stacked to dry in the fields, but because of the dampness and the absence of sunshine and warm weather, it became moldy, and as a result, spoiled.

The club has a purpose. Perhaps that purpose can best be summed up in two words--civic betterment. Perhaps one of the best examples of beneficial action can be cited in the report given by Harold Owen on the outcome of concerted action in securing train service best suited to the needs of, our commuters. A survey report submitted to officials of the Northwestern Railway, later substan. tiated by the company^ own check-up, provided valuable information in scheduling trains over this line. Gratifying results were evidenced in the inthe driving of piling and the building of coffer dams. A coffer dam on the east bank of the river is nearly completed. The test piling (long pieces of steel sheeting driven into the ground to prevent water from river from rushing into excavation or coffer dam) is already driven. Next week a huge crane will drive in piling for the foundation at the same place where the coffer dam has been built.

Lowell of Crystal Lake, 71 years old, over a long period of years one of the most active and influential citizens of McHenry county, passed away Friday, Sept. 16, 1938.

Grief and anger over frequent separations between his son, James, 31 years old, and James' wife were believed to have been the forces that prompted the veteran patrolman, 65 years old, to commit the murder and suicide.
