Wire PiodtU-- at FMk Century Ptaat Electrical wire manufacturers ir the United States now are producing wire for homes and commercial buildings at the record rate of six billion feet per year, nearly three times the pre-war rate, according to figures released today by U. S. Rubber company. Reason for the high production is the postwar building boom. Almost 100 per cent of the homes bring erected today are wired for lighting and appliances and. In sorre instances, electric heatinjr. The average size home uses 1500 f^et of wire Larcre 9 commercial and Industrie1 buildings use much r-.ore wire. Most of the wire is'm^d? of copper ip-mlat- „ed with rvbbar.

In the schedule to come later in this article readers will notice the , name of the McCullom Lake Wildcats. Everyone connected with the movement to provide active sports for young men of the area is delighted to welcome the Wildcats and knows that the new team and the league will benefit by this addition. On August fourth the Lily Lake Mudhens and the Johnsburg Colts batted to a 8-0 decision with the weight on the side of the Colts. Young Mike Stichouf, featuring amazing control and a good curve . or so young a pitcher, struck out sixteen Colt batters in the six inning game. The Johnsburg outfit has now the smoothest little infield in the circuit. Jimmy Jackson, of the baseball Jacksons, plays a game at short stop which to many shows signs of developing into the kind of skill which might show up any of his older brothers. Older men at this game mentioned, by the way, that Lily Lake was just a bit to anxious to hit that ball and did not, therefore, take advantage of a number of walks they might have received. Had more of their batters waited a little more, the game might have been even closer. The best game of the season exploded on August seventh when ihe Crusaders tangled with the Wonder Lake Sailors. The Crusader pon late in the game by a score of 5 to 4.1 cried, "I am the Jerry Long, pitching for the Cru-j poundbaby boy." saders, and Roy FVederickson, flipping for the Sailors, both went the distance. Red Stilling of the Crusaaers hit a history making home run which was important for its game winning margin and for the fact that it happened to be the first round trip ticket since the league assumed its present proportions. Monday night, August 9, the Mc Cullom Lake Wildcats successfully waited out three Johnsburg pitchers to win 10-8. Again Mike Hichaufi pitched nice ball, for the Wildcats j this time. McCullom ILake had no' relief hurler so Mike took over. A] standout at the plate and behind it for Johnsburg was Tom Heiman who I paled a long £riple among other | sucessful blows. The McCullom Lakei infield, playing its first game, was! surprisingly steady. The last out1 came as a result of a hard grounder, between, second and first which the right side of the infield gobbled up1 beautifully. COOT HOUSE SCHOOL DISTRICT LEGAL Judge William M.

Cork, of Route 1, Paxton, 111., has filed suit in the circuit court, asking for $5,000 judgement from Andrew Steinsdorfer and Margaret Steinsdorfer, his wife, of Route 3, McHenry. ' The suit arises out of an agreement entered in 1947 for Cork to take possession of a farm occupied I and known as the Hale Estate Farms, j personal property! Steindorfers.

On taking posession, the bill states,, it was found that about ten cows' were afflicted with contagious diseases and had to be slaughtered and the herd had not been state inspected.! The hay was found to be only about 450 bales of alfalfa, the rest timothy; the motors and chickens were not on the farm and the defendants have failed to produce them or reimburse him.

FISH DINNER Nickels Hardware \ Phone 2 Main St., West McHenry THE RIVIERA Show Place of the Middle West Lake Geneva, Wisconsin IT Care In handling meat animals on their way to market is canny business as well as kindness. It can conserve the meat supply in a quantity which the ordinary consumer or producer does not realize, says the U. S department of agriculture. In 1947, according to figures compiled by the National Livestock LOES Prevention board, the bruising of animals in transit--by rail and in tru"' --caused a loss of just short of r" million pounds of meat. This was meat that had to be trimmed fro* slaughtered carcasses and discard? c --pure waste. Tha net money tess the board estimates, was slightly 12c than 19 million dollars. Indutiirestock dead, or cripplcd on crr'ival t market, the loss and waste figure mount to almost 70 million pounds r' meat and Just short of 25 million dollars. Directly or indirectly, the farmers bear most of this loss. Not all the waste can be prevented. Accidents will happen. But it can b? reduced greatly by intelligence and care. It is estimated that about half the bruiring occurs on farms and In .loading for shipment. Nails, sharp corners, inadequate chutes and loading runways are important in causing wounds and bruises. Bedding with sand favors firm footing. Good partitions to separate animals in mixed loads; avoidance of overcrowding: slow loading; use of canvas slappers Instead of clubs and canes to drive animals, are some of the ways recommended for reducing waste. Careful driving of trucks on curves, corners and hills, and frequent inspection of the loads will conserve meat that is needed, OFFC points out. y 1 N-* COOL REFRESHANT for the Well-Groomed Man E An p invigorating njbdown with Early American Old Spice Cologne, after your morning bath or shower, will pep up those tired muscles, and keep you dapper, refreshed, and well-groomed throughout the day.

It was believed formerly that the Everglades were form ed by the overflow of Lake Okeechobee, which has no natural outlet. The escaping lake waters were held responsible for the deep rich muck soil of the Everglades region. Parker disproves this theory in an article written for the 1948 World Book;.Encyclopedia which reveals that the Everglades region was once the bottom ol the sea. During the Ice Age, the region alternately flooded with sea water and drained as the ice sheets advanced and retreated. With the retreat of the last Ice Age. the sea ros« and flooded the outlets of Everglades streams, laying the foundation foi the swampy accumulation of much and neat.
