HOSPITAL NOTES Friday, Ocober 5 Mary O'Leary, Woodstock, is patient as of QUO WARRANTO REQUEST DENIED IN COWLIN CASE Attorney General In Decision Attorney General George F.

Barrett in a letter dated Oct. 27, 1943, to Attorney Vernon J. Knox, and Thos. J. O'Malely, of Crystal Lake, states that there is no grounds on which to file quo warranto proceedings Judge Henry L.

Cowlin of Crystal Lake. The proceedings in question refer to the request of Attorney Knox in connection with Knox's charge that a vacancy exists in the ofifce of county judge, because Judge Cowlin accepted the post of city attorney at Crystal Lake and several villages in the county. Commenting on the request of Attorney Knox the Attorney General states in part: "In the first place, I find 1 no autherity supporting your contention that a constitutional officer, in this case a county judge, whose duties are born to the county and the state, abdicates or resigns those duties by the acceptance of a municipal post. "In the absence of compelling anthority to that effect, I should certainly not bring proccedings to oust any public official chosen by the people at a general election. Nelther the courts nor the attorney general should or will undertake to expel a judge or other officer from an office in which he has been installed by the franchise and suffrage of the electorate unlegs it is clear that he has resigned or otherwise forfeited his office under the law.

Even if the complaint which you have submitted to me properly charge the assumption of the posts of attorney for several villages, I on aware of no law or principle which makes the assumption of such municipal posts a renunciation of the duties of judge. "In the second place, the complaint which you have submitted to me does not properly charge the fact of any assumption by Judge Cowlin of any post of city attorney." The request made of Attorney General Barrett is the outgrowth of a charge by Attorney Knox that Judge Cowlin refused to approve or disapprove an inventory presented to him in open court in the estate of Ella Kelter Burke. Martin Cooney was named executor of the estate. Several court proceedings followed, which included a request from Attorneys Knox and O'Malley of State's! Attorney William M. Carorll for quo warranto proceedings, which was denied.

A suit followed against County Clerk Raymond D. Woods, asking that the circuit court order the county clerk to inform the governor that a vacancy exists in the office of the county judge. Other legal action in the case included a decision by Judge Ralph Dady on a petition filed by Judge Cowlin that he be given the right to be made a defendant in the case against County Clerk Woods. Judge Dady granted the county judge this right. The case still is on record IN the circuit court.

RELEASE NAMES To YorkThe water sea The bombs water. busy somber Farmers Urged To Order 1944 Fertilizers Early The War Food Administration is urging farmers to order now and accept early delivery of mixed fertilizers for next springs crop according to an announcement received from Farm Advisor John H. Brock. McHenry county farmers use a lot of commercial fertilizer and should be all the more interested in getting needed supplies so they will be able to do their part in producing the needed food for 1944.

Last year farmers of the U. S. got more chemical fertilizer than ever before. For the 1944 crop season they can get 10 to 12 per cent more fertilizer than last year provided they order and accept it now instead of waiting until spring. Farmers can readily store mixed fertilizers over winter.

The important precaution is to store it in a dry, weather-proof building with a dry floor in it. If the building does not have a floor, the sacks should be put on a raised platform and should not not be stacked more than 8 to 10 sacks high. No Reduction Now In Butter Pointts MADISON, Nov. Price Administrator Chester Bowles said today that butter ration points cannot be reduced, despite huge supplies stored for the armed forces. In a letter to acting Gov.

But, he said, production will drop during the winter. and civilian demands will surpass the supply. Bowles, replying to Goodland's request that ration points be reduced, held out hope that the 16- points-per-pound value on butter might be cut next spring if miiltary demands and butter production justify.
