MAXEY x •The Queen Fountain of the World" APUBLIC-SPIRITED Chicago won* an--patron of the arts--anxious to erect a permanent memorial to her noble brother, decided upon a fountain, said to have cost about $700,- 000, which she presented to and the city maintains. It adorns a central space in Chicago's great lake front-- Grant park™, is "A thing of beauty" and should prove "A Joy forever." Rising from a mammoth. Irregularlyshaped pool set down in a beautifullylandscaped space, this monstrous and gorgepus, carved and tinted fountain greets the visitor. Its great basins, three4n number, rising one above the other, are 100. GO and 24 feet In diameter respectively. A great volume ©f water gushing from a cluster of central jets, rises many feet, falling back into and over the sides of the two upper basins to be ^caught In the lower basin. Many lesser Jets are distributed about the formation. All told, many thousands of gallons of water are used per minute. Obviously, the effect produced Is dream-like. Four pairs of massive sea lions, cast in bronse and belching forth streams of water as they appear to be swimming about in the lower hasin. ostensibly *gnardlog the fountain, complete this lovely scene. it is by day, however, this fountain, to be fully appreciated, should be seen at play after nightfall, brilliantly illuminated in, various and changing colors. ~ In beauty as well as in Rplendor this magnificent fountain and is said to surpass all other fountains and Is, therefore, "The Queen Fountain of the "World." <©, 1121, Western New»p*p*r Onion.)

Law LimitleM Variety of -- Nature Seen at Doorway We are up and away nowadays, speeding fast for change; yet In f|rauow9 near my own doorway I ave learned more of the limitless variety of nature than I have learned In following marvels very far. The treea that I know best are never twice the same, because of the way of the wind with their leaves, of the son upon them, of their noonday shining and their evening shadow. Can the s«*a with its waves give more of chanKe than a June meadow of long grass, where the wind has its way through a long afternoon? Where caa you And beauty that will surpass these green waves, rising, falling, breaking, strewn with blossoms of buttercup, daisy, and red clover? The salt ocean has 00 such fragrance as that which comeJ from hay and clover and sweet grass newly shorn. Have you ever watched the winds and tides In fields of wheat, and rye, the long golden waves, the swift shadow of bird wings across them, and, Just above, against the sky, slow-sailing white clouds that drift and drift In summer seas of dim blue haze?--Margaret Sherwood. In MFamlllar Ways. Seek Sound Devices as Reliable as Ear In spite of constant attempts to de vise a sound recording Instrument there has as yet appeared no appar atue af sensitive and reliable as the human ear. Something of the dlffi culty in meeting such a problem is evident from a statement by Alexan der Wood In a lecture delivered to the Institute of Rlectrlcal Engineers at the Royal Institution. "If an alternating pressure amounting ojrfy to 1,000-1,000,00 of the pressure (of the atmosphere Is produced in the ear passage. It may be detected as a sound," says Mr. Wood. "This corresponds to a to-and-fro movement of the air through a distance of about one-tenth of the diameter of a molecule." San Francisco.--Here's something just a little different--the testimonial of a divorced wife for her former husband, asked for and received by the father of the girl he Intends to marry! By a singular series of circumstances two remarkable letters came Into the possession ef the San Francisco Chronicle. They are the request of the father for a "character" for the man who intends to marry hie daugh ter, and the aturirer of the divorced wife. Here are the two letters, with nothing changed hut the names of the principals: "Mrs. Marlon Brower, San Francisco --Dear Madam: Please pardon this very personal letter as I am writing to ask a few questions about your former husband, Kenneth Brower. I will state as an excuse that he hopes to marry my daughter. I would like to have you tell the following things regarding him: Is he a real, clean high-minded gentleman, as he appears, or one who puts up that front to the public and Is a domestic tyrant? Is he a man who is a good provider or is be one w&o spends what he makes on himself and lets his family merely exist? I am thinking only of my daughter's future happiness as I ask these things, so you can do me a great favor by giving me the facts, and if you think of anything more that I ought to know, please tell me." And here is the ex-wife's answer: "Mr. C. K. Robinson, Savannah, Ga. --Dear Mr. Robinson: It's rather an odd situation, being asked for a recommendation for one's- former husband. However, I quite understand your Interest in and care 04 your daughter's happiness. It also gives me great pleasure that I am able to reassure you about Kenneth's character. • "He is a very fine chap and should make some girl very happy If they have tastes in common.J He has always held a reasonably ^remunerative job as far as I know, and I never lacked anything as far as our finances were concerned. Our reasons for. separating were based merely on^ incompatibility of temperament. "We were very young--eighteen and twenty--when we were married and did not know exactly what It was all about. Trusting that this information will sufficiently allay any doubts that you may have about Kenneth's eligibility, I am, very sincerely yours. Marion Brower." Makes Useful Suggestions Per Test- . lag Soil awl Killing Weeds Storm Advisor E. M. Phillips has prepared a survey of the crops in McHenry county at the present writing along with many useful suggestion in regard to killing weeds, and testing soil to determine its phosphorus content ThiB should be of interest to many farmers in this community and the Sentinel is glad to print this survey of the oounty farm advisor which is as follows: July 1 finds McHenry county crops averaging about up to • their usual standard for this part of the summer. Corn, of course, is uneven in that some fields are far in advance ot others. The earliest planted* corn is already knee-higb while the late planted Is scarcely above, the shoetops. This situation, of course, is due to excessive rainfall holding back some of the planting until early June. In some lleldB cut-worms and sod web-worms have done much damage, making it necessary to replant In a number of cases. Barley and oats are probably not up to standard for July 1, due in part at least to the heavy rainfalls that packed the ground very hard after planting time. They should, however, make fair average crops. Hay is a much better crop than we have had in a good many seasons Fortunately the legumes predominate. Red clover, alsike, alfalfa and sweet clover have all made a good showing and some very heavy hay yields are reported. Pastures are par-excellent which is a boon to the dairyman. It is unusual on July 1 to find cows in grass up to their eyes, but at this time it is a common sight. Killing Weed Witt Chemicals Last year several of our farmers treated patches of Canada Thistles and Quack Gr&s with sodium chlorate. This treatment killed the weeds quite effectively. As a result a number of our farmers are asking the Farm Bureau to proeure this same material to Tweed treatment again this summer. While at the advisers' conference at the University we listened to a noted chemist. Dr. Hopkins discussed the subject of chorate as a weed killer. Dr. Hopkins pointed out the dangers of using sodium chlorate, in that it is highly- combustible, and therefore likely t6 6tart fires on farm premises because of /Its ' explosive quality. In place of sodium chlorate, howaver, calcium chlorate may be used. Calcium chlorate is also combustible, but due to the fact that this substance attracts moisture from the air, its tendency to ignite is far less than that of sodium chlorate. We are, therefore, planning to use on a number of farms caltium chlorate instead of sodium chlorate in order to avoid the danger attending the use of the latter. Hew Test Fer Pfcsspfceras,,: The Farm Adviser is now In pofcf-' tlon to test soil to determine its phos' phoruB content. Ths is a qualitative test somewhat like the test to determine the acidity of soil, but requiring of course different chemicals. This test was developed in the chemical laboratory at the College of Agriculture, Urbana. It was demonstrated before a conference meeting at the Illinois Farm Advisers at their meeting in Jnue. The method is simple requiring no expensive apparatus or materials and can be easily learned by anyone. The usual laboratory method' of phosphorus determination requires the skill of a trained chemist working with rather delicate instruments and chemicals. Hence, the new test recently discovered will be a boon to the farmer seeking more information about the fertility needs of his soih Before buying add phoejhati, finely ground rock phosphate or high priced mixed fertiliser, better run a test to see just what is needed. The Farm Bureau can help you. 1 Vihii lit 1' li f 11 it ^ .y*: /. 1^,*. y, v.

Eightytwo couples applied for the necessary papers In the county clerk's office during the month of June. This is seventeen more than applied during the same month last year which Was considered a busy month. Saturday was a popular day, as nine couples appeared at the court house license bureau to get their names listed during June and to have the honor of being listed as June brides and grooms. It was a busy day and Grace Abbott, who has taking care of the ' licence; b' since Maude Donovan departed o vacation a week ago, was kept filling out the blanks. June has always been a popular month for weddings, hut it seems that the month just ended seemed to have it all over past months. Numerous pretty weddings were held in the county seat during the toonth of June. Of course there were A large number of the licenses Issued that were couples from outside Woodstock and MoHenry county. McHenry county has always been a popular marriage license bureau for Chicago people and also for Wisconsin couples. It is safe to say that when Maude Donovan reads the above story oijt in California she will give a deep sigh and pat herself on the back for missing out on the final rush of the month. Maude is having the Sentinel delivered at her vacation address in Callforaa so she can keep op with the latest in the county seat "iv&i.- One 21x36 Wood Bros. . * One 26x46 Wood Bros, k*:/ One 30x50 Wdod Bros. ^ "Il'~ One 28x46 Red River Special I One 21x36 G&m One Hart Parr 30 TrfcctOf. * One Cle-Trac. 12-20 ^ New J.
