There is talk of a coal famine this winter. From reports, it looks as if coal is going up a notch or two. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Aug. 81, 19?2 One of the most severe, ..as ^well as damaging,-- stormv * which has visited this section in recent years passed over McHenry Thursday afternoon. A number of trees and innumerable branches were scattered all over- the village and the Illinois Bell Telephone and Public Service companies had a number of their lines and poles torn down. In many places folks left their homes when ^thev filled with smoke caused ^by burning fuse boxes. With an abundance of apples, cider mills throughout this section are doing a rushing business these days. One mill near Wauconda is turning out as high as 40 gallons of the apple juice per day. Next Sunday, Sept. 3, the McHenry bafs|ball team will meet the Alohas on the Mc- ^Henry grounds. The Alohas are the only all-Japanese baseball team in the United States and are under the jurisdiction of the Mikado's Imperial Japanese Consul, from whom permission must be obtained to play outside games. The McGee family reunion held at Fair Oaks subdivision Sunday proved -an enjoyable affair. Swimming and games of all kinds were enjoyed. One of the biggest fun producers of the day was the fat ladies race which was won by Mrs. T. Harrington. The fats and leans also staged a baseball game, the fats winning the contest through the heavy hitting of Mrs. R. Keefe of Chicago. Another scream was the greased pig contest which was won by William McGee, Jr., of Chicago after a most exciting race. Miss Lillian McGee of Woodstock won the sack race. From Ostend comes the news that there were eight men on a staging at work on the threshing machine building when it gave away in the center, letting four to the ground in a pile. C. E. Sherman, Fred Eppel, Peter W. Freund and Roy Hobart were scratched enough to draw blood, but no bones were broken. Freund's pipe must have helped him for he still had it when at the bottom. C. E. Jecks and Tony Freund clung to the roof boards until a ladder was shoved to them. The other two were on the end that did jnot go down. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of Sept. 2, 1937 Three boys on bicycles braved weather and distances last week on a trip to Devil's Lake, Wis., and return, which they enjoyed without serious mishap. These boys were Gerald Miller, Richard Freund and Emil Simon. With a change of clothing, bundled in a blanket and fastened to their bicycles, left McHenry at 7 a.m. ^Monday and arrived home about 6 p.m. Friday after covering more than 300 miles. Tragedy hovered over the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bauer at Ringwood Wednesday night when their two-year-old son, George Edward, was found drowned in a stock tank Jiear the barrv Mrs. Mattie E. Smith was found dead in bed this Thursday morning by her sister-inlaw, Mrs. John McOmber, who has been with her this summer. She was in her usual good health when she retired the night before. A party of friends surprised Miss Florence Conway at a miscellaneous shower at her home Wednesday evening. Miss Conway's marriage to James E. Doherty will take place next week. Miss Carmen Freund and Maxine Bacon graduated Sunday evening from a year's course in child nursing at St. Vincent's orphanage, Chicago. Several from here attended the g r a d u a t i o n e x e r c i s e s w h i c h took place in the chapel at the orphanage at 7 p.m. McHenry schools will open on Tuesday. Sept. 7. There will be two new teachers in the high school this year.

Zoos buy snakes by the foot -- from $5 to $10 per foot for the first six feet, and from then on the price increases rapidly. McHenry Men Make Tour Of Corn Plots Gordon Larson, Glen Eppel, Arthur Hoppe, William Sutton and Clinton Martin of McHenry recently visited the corn research plots at DeKalb. Object of the trip was to learn more about present day corn research and what it means now and in the future. While at DeKalb, several hundred corn farmers were shown work being done to building in resistance to corn enemies such as corn borer, leaf blight j and stalk rot. A feature of this work is artificial inoculation of various lines to check their resistance. Only the most resistant are kept for future crossing. This built-in resistance is the foundation for the newer corn varieties. A young child's eyes may seem to be perfect yet one may not be seeing properly. An eye examination is a "must" for all pre-school age children to assure good vision according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Any woman can have a grand time thinking of what a grand time she'd have if only she were having it. WORKERS AT PARKS A total of 29,764 man hours of work was performed by re-; cipients of public assistance at Illinois state parks this summer. Work was performed at 10 parks in May, 44 parks in June and 25 parks in July* The use of assistance recipients for work in state parks was instituted at the request of Gov. Otto Kerner. Men, physically able, who were receiving public assistance were assigned to various parks over the state, and the estimated dollar and cents savings to the state as the result of this program was estimated at $40,- 181.40.
