Cassidy, Illinois attorney-general. It is also the duty of each supervisor in each township to include such 'names in his annual report when the same is published each year. The request for an opinion came from Jersey county, where the pub-lishefof the Jerseyville News wrote that supervisors of the county were in doubt as to whether to include the name of each beneTiciary in the report as printed. The letter of the attorney-general to the Jersey county editor contained the following: "In your letter you state that it is chosen to act for the next four years, supervisor and highway commissioner.

Both these men have been endorsed by all four counties and delegates selected in each of the four coupties instructed to vote for them at the convention.

However, there is a lively scrap on for the third position on the ticket. State's Attorney William M. Carroll of Woodstock and Judge William L. Pierce of Belvidere are seeking the third place.

Marvin Elfman, two years and nine months old, youngest son of the Lor-enz Elf mans of Richmond was badly burned last Monday afternoon when he sat down in a rubbish fire, receiving severe burns.

Cliff Thompson, reputed to be one of the world's tallest men, and now employed as salesman for the Blatz Brewing of Milwaukee, visited Barrington, Crystal Lake, Cary and Fox River Grove Thursday and Friday, March 23 and 24. Some statistics regarding this' giant are interesting. He is 8 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 460 pounds, wears a size 22 shoe, a size 9 hat and measures 44 inches around the waist.

"The purpose of requiring a copy of the statement to be published is to inform the public of the sources and delegates selected a month ago to represent the county in the convention were instructed to vote for the nomination of Mr. Carroll. Over in Boone county month ago, eleven delegates selected to represent the county in the judicial convention were instructed to vote for the nomination of Judge Pierce. Now, neither Winenbago nor Lake countv has made any endorsement for Ihe third place.

Neither delegation selected Thursday night was instructed how to cast their vote on the Carroll-Pierce contest. This means both Winne'bago and Lake counties send their delegates to the convention uninstructed as to Carroll and Pierce. Winnebago county has fifty delegates and Lake county fifty-eight. This makes a total of delegates. Doctors attributed death to coronary thrombosis.
