In another part of the state, which is more behind the times than most communities because of s, shifting- tenant cla?s} a woman's attention was called to her undernourished children.' "Well," she replied, "so long as they aint a gruntin, I aint a kickin." Teachers have written in to the office of the Home Improvement association from all parts of the county, asking for help in starting the hot lunch custom in their schools. Some say they would like to try it, but the parents feel no need for it. Dr. Woocls, tKe4 physician in New York toho has done so much to raise the standards of health for children, tells us that since 1906 the death rate for New York city children has been slowly decreasing, until now the percentage is away below the death rate of the children in rural New York. This is an eye opener since the statistics of the city children include the children of the slums. This condition is truly startling when we realize the advantages there should be in the rural districts for health. However, it can be explained in many ways. With th6 modern agencies for bettering health, that is, school rturses, physical examinations, free clinics, mid morning milk, hot dinners, the city child with all the crowding in close quarters is unconsciously learning laws of right living and sanitation. The country boy often walks two miles to school on a breakfast of buckwheat cakes and coffee. If his parents do not understand the value of a hot dish at noon to go with other well selected food he may go till night without anything but a frozen lunch. The coffee he drank in the morning soon changes its stimulating effect to a drowsy one. His empty stomach calls for the right food with a dull headache. If he is not irritable it is no fault of nature for she does her ' best to cry ;out? against this treatment. Many a child h'as been called dull be-; cause his mother did not see that he had good food; many are considered* just "naturally skinny" because their poor bodies do not get the right terial for growth. Most children do. not get enoughs milk and vegetables. Too few children have been taught to eat spinach^' carrots,(asparagus, lettuce, beets and1 too many mothers try to eedbomize on, milk instead of meat. Write this on your heart. All nor mal children can and should drink milk. If they qannot drink it raw they can eat it in their food. The 4im of the hot lunch plan |s tat serve every day one hot dish which has for a foundation a vegetable or milk. In another article the method of installing the system will be discussed. THURSDAY.

The sole purpose of the census is to secure general statistical information regarding the population and resources of the country and replies are required from individuals only to permit the compilation of such gen eral statistics. No person can be harmed in any way by furnishing the information required. The census has nothing to do with taxation, with military or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the regulation of immigration or with the enforcement of any national state or local law or ordinance. There need be no fear that any disclosure will be made regarding any individual person or his affairs. For the due protection of the rights and interests of the persons furnishing information every employe of the census bureau is prohibited, under heavy penalty, from disclosing any information which may thus come to his knowledge. I therefore earnestly urge upon all persons to answer promptly, completely and accurately all inquiries address to them by the enumerators or other employes of the census bureau and thereby to contribute their share toward making this great and necessary public undertaking a success. In Witness Whereof I have hereunto, set my hand and caused the seal of th^ United States to be affixed.

The Northwestern road is laying out a town site adjoining Cary station An agent for the railroad company purchased the Levi McNett farm and Hie grading of streets has commenced. A dispatch from Belvidere says that Mrs. Fred Hatch of tflis county and her brother, who were in that city visiting their parents, were run down by a boy on horseback and, both severely injured. \ Mrs. Hawks and grandson of Whitehaven, Pa., have been the guests of T. Bacon and family the past week. Mrs. Hawks is the mother of Mrs. Bacon, whom she has not seen before for thirty-five years. On Tuesday they had a family reunion. Miss Edna Story received as Christmas gift from her parents a fine Shetland pony and a handsome canopy covered cart, which presents very neat and tasty appearance,' and a turnout of which she is justly proud. John Fare was handsomely remembered by his many friends on the West Side on Christmas eve, being presented by them with about $10 worth of groceries of all kinds. Mr. Fare has been a resident of this village for many years and has hosts of friends. The residence of George G. Smith on the West Side had a narrow escape from destruction by fire on Monday forenoon iRst. The fire . caught in a wood box near the kitchen stove and had gained considerable headway before being discovered. It was extinguished, however, with slight damage. The Chicago^ Mail of Saturday gave a picture of Geoifge Slimpin, the energetic newsboy in this village and gave him the following flattering notice: "George Slimpin of McHenry, 111., is a type of the energetic American boy. He handles the Chicago papers, including The Mail, and by his enterprise has built up a very prosperous business." ,: * &.•' *; "cti. line individual to steadily mark milestones in hif career, the banking business amounts almost t<|f romance when it is remembered that It shares lo ; - '• ' - -fr;- the progress of hundreds of citizens, -v • m : . fs .-1 :• y. is* r Nil -• .vV> 'IjR, With the increase in our depositors, though* there is no decrease In that personal touch we ways maintain, . _ 1 -<*'4 r . lr f ,Ai •m. •W-.40. * * , SVi/jS*,; j X) r-m.:- - 'S 4 I ' I, ^ ;; 15$r "s >WjY • ,k:S ki BALL *»•*,.

Of course the board is hoping for the news of the coming thru this village of the state aid road, but whether or not this will come pass next year remains to be seen. However, it appears to us that some sort of a program for road building should be decided on during the winter months so as to go ahead with this improvement by the time the new sewerage system is in. ; Buy jour *pples. of M.
