FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 22, 1940) As the filing office closed, the filings resulted in the surprising revelalion that there will only be a single contest in the April primaries in McHenry county. The one contest concerns the position of county coroner and will bring the two candidates, Edward H. Cook of Huntley, seeking reelection, and Harry Ehorn of Richmond. Numerous contests have been registered for national, state, district and senatorial offices. Unless the Democrats draft a slate sometime during the summer, State's Attorney William M. Carroll, seeking reelection, will have no opposition in the Republican party and likewise no op­ position in the November election.'

Using a check or money order is safer from two standpoints, the IRS ex­ plains. First, a check or money order is harder to steal, and secondly, the cancelled. check or money order receipt will serve as a record that the payment was made. The IRS also says that taxpayers should be sure to write their Social Security number on the check or money order. This assures that the taxpayer will receive credit for the payment should the check or money order be detached from the return.
