Dull footsteps resounded from the board walk over Boone creek as the figures walked rapidly up the street past Nordquist & Weber's blacksmith shop, Rodimer's wagon repair shdp and Madden's harness shop. "The water from the dam sure smells like spring this morning," remarked Math Niesen to "Mattis" Engeln. The two had watched over Mc Henry through the night and were homeward bound.

Farmers stopped to make their selection of fish. Mattis was never known to fish, swim or skate. He never threw snowballs or rowed a boat. Why should he ? There were plenty who cared for that stuff. He jiever drank intoxicants nor used tobacco. He was and is McHenry, liked by everyone for his keen sense of humor and for his daring. Many will recall him atop the standpipe as his keen eyes surveyed the panorama of familiar landscape. He was devoted to Jack Walsh and Math Niesen and to the peace of the good old town. Tiring, at last, of his perch on top of the bridge, Mattis climbed down the iron rods to a place beside Shu grue.

AAA CORN LOANS FOR PAST YEAE TOTAL 1119,588 granted loans totaling $119,588.39 on 1939 corn to 292 McHenry county farmers, according to a report by Bert Bridges of Harvard, manager of the county agricultural conservation association. The d*>«d- Ijne for loans on last year's corn crop expired March 31 he said. Loans were granted at a rate of 57 cents per bushel, and 209,973 bushels are under seal in the county. By comparison, BiMges said, county farmers borrowed $76,670 on 131,000 bushels of 1938 corn. A total of 65,000 bushels of the 1938 crop is stored in government bins set at railroad centers in the county and 76,000 is still in storage on farms. Swine Growers* Day McHenry county hog feedtert fcave received an invitation, through the McHenry County Farm bureau, <30 attend the annual swine growers' day to be held Friday, April 12, at the University of Illinois college of agriculture. During the morning session, there will be discussions of the feeding and management of swine, and economic situation relative to lard and pork products will be outlined at the afternoon meeting. One of the most successful early spring temporary pastures has been found to be oat pastures according to Farm Adviser John H. Brock. Seeding legumes and grasses with oats that are used for pasture has been found to be a very practiced wav to insure a good rotation pasture the following year providing controlled grazing is practiced. On sweet soil a very satisfactory pasture has been ready in five or six weeks for light pasturing by seeding two bushels of oats per acre plus two pounds per acre each of alfalfa, sweet clover, red clover, alsike clover and timothy. For a pasture desired only for 1940 a large part of the mixture could be annual sweet clover. When seeded on land too acid for alfalfa or sweet clover these legumes should not be used in the mixture according to Brock. Report ef OsBdftiou of *><• ^ WEST McHENRY STATE BANK «f McHenry (P.O.

Mattis did not have to be told what to do as he went to the kitchen for a broom Pete Thelen and August Wosnoski '•ime purposefully down the street. Tom Burke opened his butcher shop as Joe Heimer and John Buch came out of their place sniffing the spring air. Math Engehi stepped out onto the sidewalk as Lou Bishop opened his barber shop.
