Murphy pitched the first game and contributed 4 hits to an 18- hit attack against Woodstock in a 13 to 8 victory. "Sonny" Miller hammered out a home run, triple and single in this game. Richard "Nickie" Freund shut out the Crystal Lake Boosters 5 to 0 in a five inning second game that was'called on account of rain. Jim Larkin had his eye on the ball for a perfect 3 for 3 in this game. Shamrocks AB 8 H McCulla, C S One bad inning at Algonquin last Sunday spelled defeat for the McHenry Merchants by a count of 6 to 2. The Merchants took a 1-run lead in the third when Madsen drew a pass and was followed by Peisert's single and a double by Raasch. This lead held up until the seventh when i Algonquin let loose with a 6-hit blast to score all of their runs. w • Led by Bob Knox and Rosing, the* Merchants drove out 13 hits, but were unable to bring the runners around to the plate.

Advisor) The fair Is over for 1950 with a feeling that we wouldn't take a million for the experience and wouldn't go through It again for the same amount. Oh! I wouldn't just say no like that It was a much bigger event than last year, with our youngsters entering in many more open classes. Last year it was new and they were a little afraid or perhaps more unfamiliar. Then, too, the F.F.A. boys from schools outside our county came in for many entries. There are roses that should be tossed to "all and especially to" {Cenny Fiske, who really put on a poultry show. Of course, the Marlowe, Marengo and Bennett Hatcheries should have credit for building up the interest in poultry with their $5 for 50 chicks and get the $5 back if you show at the fair. Special mention should be made of Paul Whalen, his side show and his tug-of-war event. Harold Turner, leader of the Greenwood Greiitlins, furnished the tiny Shetland pony colt and Harry Lange furnished the pig with wattles like a goat. Where did the fourlegged chicken come from? Jim Curran of McHenry was going to bring in one of the Babcock testers but I didn't see it. The lingo Paul put oil, though, did the trick. It caused me to consider getting George Blocksom of Bakkom's to pull a manure spreader over in front of the tent. Of course, Roush's exhibit with Buriio's steam engine always attracts attention. Everyone who handled the livestock. exhibits deserves a lot of credit for their hard work. This includes such men as Harolh Leisch, superintendent of hogs. He did a verry fine job and our show was almost three times as large as last year. Others who deserve like credit are Pat, Williams, John Dehmlow and Ralph Ostrander on Holsteins; Ray Nevel and Bob Gardner on colored dairy breeds; Clint Martin of McHenry and A. B. McConnell on sheep; Lyle Paulsen and Norman Specht on the beef. I guess Jim Watson handled the grain, vegetables and flower show all by himself. Oh! yes. Joe Comstock of Production Credit helped get the boys out when their time came to show. There are many others that I could mention in line of the whole affair, but these I thing go off smoothly from our particular standpoint. ( With the excellent help of our office staff we were able to pay off about $1,500 in cash prizes between Saturday morning and Sunday night. We ran out of money about 4 p.m. Sunday. The rest can get theirs any time now. The only sour note was Saturday forenoon when we had to move out of one tent completely to make room for the horses after I told the boys to all move to one side earlier in the day. I hated it, but we promised this. The real reason was that all cattle tents were supposed to be 50x100 with four rows of cattle and at a late hour three of them turned out to be 40 feet wide and we could only put in three rows of cattle. The stage shows were good. The highlights were the Tug-of-War. the six horse team, the selection of the queen and McKinzie's tiny tots square dance team. Wesley Watkins and the Cloverleaf Boosters and the Marengo Rural Youth certainly did a fine job, as did everyone who took pa%t in the stage shows. Thanks to Ralph Nichols, John McConnell, Bob Repke, Kurt Wanieck and Roger Hemken for building such a good stage. Gosh, I could keep tip for another hour here, but it's bedtime (Sunday night) and I'm tired. Thanks, Dear Lord, for the rain to top off a grand week. Kane County Takes Dismal: View Of Merger ^'Certain portion of Mgin's residents and perhaps those in other parts of Kane county have expressed concern over the movement said to be undertaken on the part of Chicago to take under their wing about six counties in thi^ part of the state and in northwest Indiana. According to reports contained in at least one Kane county paper, residents -in the counties concerned are unanimously opposed to the proposition, which, they say, would enfold them in a political unit with the Second largest city in the country. Some legal authorities, It is claimed, have indicated that the state-legislature might be able to pass laws making the procedure a simple one. Of Interest locally was the means discussed whereby the situation might be averted. Although still in the "dreaming" stage, the possibility of detaching Elgin and five other townships and having that territory become a part of McHenry county has been put forth as a solution. The total population of the six, Elgin, Dundee .Hampshire, Plato, Rutland and Burlington is 56,952. At present the population of Kane county is 149,918 and that of McHenry is 50,416. The detachment from Kane and annexation to McHenry county would make some over 107,000 people in this county more than doubling its present population. The writer who allowed his thinking to take wings into what some may describe as the fantastic Btage, admits that the problems which would arise should such a move be undertaken would be great. However, fhe feels that it is not too early to take defensive measures in view of the distaste which many Kane county residents feel toward the move. attend cam?

RINGWOOD LOCAL ACHIEVEMENT DAY PROVED OUTSTANDING Using as their theme, "Fairy Tales," Local Achievement Day Was held recently at the Ringilwood school house. The program Included an opening skit by the Sunshine Girls, entitled " Doctor Fixit". Later, two skits, one by the above mentioned club and the other by the Happy Clover club, were presented, with Carol Harrison acting as narrator for presentations based on "The Three Little Bears" and "Little Red Riding Hood". v There was a baking demonstra-! tion by Charlotte* Hogan and Annette Smith on baking powder biscuits. Probably the highlight of the evening's entertainment was the style revue in which seven girls, all outstanding 4-H members took part. In keeping with the fairy tale theme, Mrs. John Hogan, taking the part of an old lady, jumped out of a huge shoe to present ( her "daughters" as they made theirway across the stage, each attired in an attractive garment of her own making.
