They feel that the man who pays his bills should not be asked to pay for the losses that are caused by those who do not. Thus the Honor System now goes into its second year in McHenry county. An advertisement published in another part of this paper tells of the plan upon which the system is worked. Each business man who is a member of the board will hereafter receive a monthU report of the names of those who are not paying their bills. This will save him from a similar loss if the "slow pay" asks for credit accommodation at his store. This does not apply to those who have accounts and do not pay each month. There are several kinds of such accounts. There is the man who really has hard luck on account of sickness, fire or some other condition over which he has no control. This man is deserving of credit and the McHenry merchant knows that when he receives a statement that if he cannot pay at once he will come to the store and give his reason and ~ possibly pay a certain amount on the account. This man is worthy of the credit. Then there is the man who deliberately runs a store account in one or more stores and seems not to care whether or not they are ever paid. He ignores every statement sent to him and when he has cash to spend, takes it to t'Ke other fellow, the oe whom he owes nothing. This is the man the merchants of McHenry are desirous of protecting themselves from. The Honor Board was not organized to antagonize anyone, but rather to weed out the dead beats and to strengthen the credit at other stores of those worthy of same. The board will attempt to collect every overdue account and when there seems to be no other way of collecting, these accounts will be advertised for sale. Window envelopes and Statements save a great deal of labor and mistakes. Ask about them at the Plaindealer office. Speaker Connections That Will Vary Pitch Many radio listeners find that the pitch of the music received Is above Jr below normal. An Impedance placed to the speaker circuit will raise the pitch. With a switch to cut in condensers of different site* as shown, the pitch may be varied at will. Three changes are shown, the upper position with the smallest condenser giving the higher pitch. The lower position with impedance and condenser* eat out and battery feed through Switch to Cut In Condenser* Central Pitch. the speaker gives the lowest tone. The switch requires two arms, the contact edge of the iowest being died down to give clearance from the upper. The Inner contacts should be smaller than the outer and spaced as close as possible to each other.--Radio D^est, "Kilocycle" Is Taking Place of "Wave Length" A new word, "kilocycle," gradually Is taking the place of the word "wave length" in the vocabulary of radio fans. The Department of Commerce has explained that the marking or logging of dials is found to have certain advantages In the new term "kilocycle," which means frequency, or the number of waves per second. "Just as a musician," the department said, "can vary the number of oscillations of his vocal cords, but cannot control the length of the sound waves, so a radio station can vary the number of oscillations per second, and let the wave lengths be what tbey will. "To obtain the frequency when the wave length In meters is known divide 300,000 by the wave length In meters. The answer is In kilocycles. Likewise, the other way round, divide 300,000 by the number of kilocycles to get meters." B-A-R-G-A-I-N-S! You buy a horse It looks like a million dollars.

OVERTON & CO WEN Buick Dealers Phone No. 6 West McHenry Shingle Most Typically * American of Materials Architectural!; the shingle is the typically American of all materials excepting, perhaps, logs. It is particularly applicable in designs of a Colonial flavor. Moreover, with Its aid, by the nse of broad weathering and double coursing, the apparent height of a house can be materially lessened to enhance its artistic appeal. The all-shlngle covering Is adequate from every point of view. Bat, more than that, an all-shlngle home la a vital part of the landscape. It grows out of its surroundings. Its velvety, tapestry-ilke exterior harmonises perfectly with the beauty of foliage and Sowers. Clinging vines and rkmblers attach themselves to it lovingly, and all growing things accept it as a comrade. In short an ^IMiagle ha-- has character. There is about it no suggestion of the artificial. It stands not as a challenge to the neighborhood, but as an expression of good will and friendliness. Its shingled surfaces are, to the exterior, what an open hearth is to the interior; and, however simple the design, they never fail to Inspire a sense of reel home cheer. Location, Materials and Equipment r Important in Well Planned Barn Rubber Bands Take Up Shock of Hammer Blow Hammers lined with rubber in the opening that fits onto the handle so that the shock of the blows is absorbed, have been placed on the market. Gripping the handle firmly In the socket, the rubber cushion takes up the Jar of the blow before It can reach the hand of the person using the tool. Extreme tests are said to have proved the efficiency of the idea. Gray Is Pleasing Color for Furniture Environment Walls painted gray make an attractive background for the furnishings of the room. By using a gray paint produced by mixing red and green pigments together you can materially assist the electric luminaries which light the room. Qray, thus prepared has high light reflecting properties, while gray made from white paint and lamp black does not possess this virtne. Steel Braces for Scaffolds Practical in Stucco Work Steel braces that are attached to the wall with four nails and have two legs that rest against It to keep them from shaking, have been found practical for stucco and other construction jobs. They can be set up In much less time than is required for the usual wooden staging, are made of steel that will not bend, and fold up for easy carrying. They are manufactured In two lengths, thr<^ and three and one-half feet, weigh less than 200 pounds the dozen and are said to last Indefinitely If properly handled.

RADFORD Itr. William A. Radford win answer questions and give advice FREE OP COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he Is, with* out doubt, the highest authority on th« subject. Aidr*u All Inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. The most conspicuous building on the term Is the dairy barn, with Its big loft above and tall silo ranged alongside. Its Importance Is equally great for It Is the Income-producing plant of the dairy farm. In planning the barn, however, some really Important points are often overlooked because their Importance has not been realised. The Ave. points which should all receive serious consideration are: location, arrangement, equipment, materials and appearance. The dairy barn should be located where It will be most convenient for caring for the cattle. It should be on ground which has sufficient elevation to enable thorough drainage and It should receive plenty of sunshine. The arrangement should be such as to make it possible to do all the workwith the least possible labor and to care for the stock In the most sanitary manner, giving them clean, dry stalls wtth plenty of light. This applies to the equipment. Barn equipment serves but one purpose, and that Is to facilitate the care of the stock with the least possible lsbor and expense and In the most sanitary way. The materials of which the barn may be constructed determine If It will afford sufficient protection against the weather, whether It will be easily kept clean and in good repair and whether tt will be reasonably immune from fire. When we €ome to the question of appearance we touch on a point which la motft frequently overlooked. To many the appearance of a barn seems unimportant, but this Is really a great mistake, lii the first place a farmer, like a manufacturer. Is turning out a product which he must sell and sell at a profit if he Is to continue In business. It has been proven that neat, attractive buildings pay actual profits In an.v business whether It be manufacturing. merchandising, or farming. They lui've »i» advertising value which can be determined In dollars and cents. In addition, attractive buildings make the farm more salable and at a higher price If the time ever comes when It is to be sold. If given proper care to maintain their appearance they will cost less and last longer than If neglected. Add to all this the proven fact that every person does better work when he works In pleasing surroundings and the value of good appearance Is pretty plainly established. The barn pictured here meets all of these requirements It Is a wellbuilt frame building, set on concrete foundations and floured with concrete. It Is set at a good elevation and Is provided with neat drives which make a good appearance and prevent the muddy barnyard which should be done away with. The stalls sre all floored with cork brick, giving a warm and resilient footing for the stock. Drain gutters make cleanliness easy and the work of feeding and cleaning Is facilitated by the overhead carrier tracks for feed and litter. t Feed room and silo are placed together at one corner in such a manner that feed can be delivered quickly and easily to every stall. Many windows provide ample light and sunshine and ventilating shafts carry off the foul air and odors and supply good fresh air as needed. The milk house Is conveniently placed at one side with a separate driveway and In what is really a separate building. Courtesy Sooth Bead Ball Oe.

This thought adds a new pleasure and a new sense of responsibility to your efforts. In advising you to build well we do not necessarily mean that you should build expensively, although we do believe that If It Is ever advisable to stretch a point, here is the place to do It. Tour success will depend primarily upon youp plans, your choice of materials and the honesty and skill of the workmanship employed. A good residence Is simple and dignified rather than fancy and fussy. A modest home well planned, Is far more desirable than a poorly planned mansion. Shingles If «M shingles have been painted previously they can readily be painted again. But If they have been stained with creosote it is Improbable that they can be painted again without special treatment unless they have been exposed to the weather for many years. to • I Htttl M t Ftt f 11+f ' • 1 Buying" poor lumber and covering tt over is like an ostrich trying to hide itself by burying its head in the sand..
