The story is told about a Florida f-eal estate operator who died in the midst of the Florida boom and went to heaven. When he arrived, he learned that the prices of Florida land were going up still higher, and he began to tell St. Peter and a group of the angels the millions he could have made if he only could have lived and held on a short time longer. In the midst of his boasting, he noticed that one of the angels arose in a bored way.and flew away. "That's very discourteous," said the Florida man to St. Peter. "Who was that fellow who went away?" "That," said St. Peter, "was the Indian who sold Manhattan island for $24." SWORD FISH, OF COURSE Mr. and Mrs. Harold Owen spent Saturday on a business trip to Racine, WSs.

Given, who ha<fT*#ll ill less than a week, died Saturday evening, February 17, in the small home* on the Given farm in Greenwood township. He had been in failing health The supreme court rendered two rulings in a $100,000 damage suit started in the Woodstock circuit court October 11, 1934, apparently ending the long legal argument last week. In 1934, Raymond Miollis of Elgin and Maze Lactic Cultures, Inc., alleged owners of secret formulas and cultures exclusively developed by the Pasteur Laboratory in Paris for making natural cheese from pasteurized milk, started a suit for $100,000 damages against certain official of the Pure Milk association including Don N. Geyer, manager at the time, John P. Case, Kenneth M. Royer and Harry A. Pfister, all officers, and fourteen farmers, members of the association. The bill of complaint charged conspiracy, mismanagement and breach of contract. Four of the fourteen members of the PMA, Frank J. Green, Albert Mathison, Amos Smith and Christ Franke, all lived in McHenry county. On March 23, 1938 the four McHenry county defendants were dismissed from the complaint. On the same date Judge William L. Pierce dismissed the complaint as to the other defendants On the grounds that he had no jurisdiction to hear the ease in that none of the defendants were residents of the county. On April 16t 1938, attorneys for the for several years. , p,l a.in t.if f presented . a . petition asking H.d he lived. M, Given have ~ ££ tSlt'Zatd and leave granted to amend the complaint.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church in Woodstock. stock court the ease was carried to the appellate court. The appellate court dismissed the complaint. The plaintiffs then carried the case to the supreme court. , Last Thursday Circuit Clerk Cqnn received a letter from Attorneys Allen Woodward and Edwin Loop of Belvidere, who represented Judge Pieiee and Circuit Clerk Conn in the high court, which stated that the supreaM court had denied the petition for leave to appeal from the appellate court on the part of the plaintiffs. At the same time, the letter stated, the main suit for $100,000, was dismissed against the Pure Milk association. In the Pure Milk case the petition for leave to appeal was dismissed which means that the petition was thrown out on technical grounds. The order in the case of Miollis Vs. Pierce and Conn was that the petition was denied which means that the petition was considered and denied because it lacked merit. It was also stated in the letter dtat the case is now ended unless attorneys for the plaintiffs seek reconsideration by the high court in the ter which is very unlikely. * Geyer, Pfister and Case are no longer officials of the Pure Milk association. The ruling of the high court ends a legal matter which has extended over some six years. Dr. C. M. Sneed of Columbia, lost a sow and advertised the fact in a newspaper.

YOU don't have to look farther than the nearest parking lot to see how the public has taken_ to this 1940 Buick.

Its thrifty Dynaflash power plant, now balanced after assembly, gives it twice as many Best-of-the-Bunch votes as any other, as dpes its chassis construction.
