Lawyers are again clamoring for re-
lief in the matter of additional courts
for Lake county and a separate court
for probate and criminal work will be
the next extension of the court facili-
ties in Lake county IL any is to be
made. There is nothing in the inn
mediate future that promises an addi-
tional court and while of the
lawyers are clamoring for another one,
the Judges themselves are not yet
pressing the matter.
Under the present system the four
Judges each take turn at the criminal
work, while the probate work is d.
vided between Judge V. S. Reiter of the
superior court and Judge McMahan of
the circuit court The bulk of the pro-
bate work however is in the superior

brothers and sisters at outs with each
other, anger, hatred, faul finding hav.
ing the place which should be filled
with love, kindly consideration and
forbearance.
The declaration of the heather
steward of Joseph, Fear not, your
God and the God of your fathers is
with you," is worthy of notice. In
times of trouble believers in God have
the right to call and expect help.
Mothers God, fathers God, my God
will be near and can with confidence
be called upon.
The older brothers were not perfect
men and neither are we, yet God saw
in them foundation stones for the
twelve tribes of Israel Their expert
ences with Joseph at this time was
a purifying fire for them. God may
see in us capabilities for good We lit
