THE M'HEKRY PLAINDEALER, THURSDAY, MARCH 12,1931 •*£.: »rt** ut'h -i#.&> $•**.' < Jfc - -r •••« . w^..* .v.^: „-Jl' S;j,; fclJAIL MORATORIUM DECLARED Reports from all of the states most eriously affected by the drought of !930 indicate an appalling shortage If bobwhiie quail last fall. Many of he officials and sportsmen of the jrought stricken area claim that there Irere practically no young birds rear- "~; and that apparently the shortage moisture induced the crop of infor the young birds last sum- |pier, also that the cover and weed %rop was far below normal. Here is f* greet chalice for some real facs- Hpnding. 'ji Missouri reported only a fifty per lent quail crop. When conditions became known the Missouri Council of Hie Izaak Walton League declared a jporatorium of bolmfrite for the balance of the season. In the absence of ^kate authority to close the season a Statewide campaign was launched by t*e Council to aare the seed stock. A notice, prominently posted mroughout the state, read in part: fAll members of the Izaak Walton Ijeagve and all sportsmen in sympathy with our cause are asked to put up their guns and declare a moratorium on quail for the rest of the season." A special winter feeding campaign is now being waged throughout the entire northern range of the quail in the hope of saving the seed stock. It is hoped that this situation will not result in the kind of hysteria that can see no way out but closed season for 1931. The bettor plan ,will be intensive feeding, saving cover next spring, stopping fires and predators, and trapping or otherwise scattering and intermixing coveys next spring. DOLLAR DAY IS SATURDAY Work of Machinery According to a survey by Joseph W. Roe, professor of industrial engineering at New York university. It would require 12,00(1,000.000 servants to do the work that machinery performs each day in the United States. It is estimated that for every man, woman and child In this country there is generated power ^}oal to that of 100 slave*. v WHY= .

There are tw,o classes of people who enjoy reading the "home newspaper"--the ones who are still residents of thie "home town" and those who have moved away, but whose interests are still great for the place in which they spent many happy years. Both want to know what the folks in their town are doing. The old home newspaper is sometimes cussed and ridiculed by its readers, but just try to take it away from them for any length of time. Did yon ever watch the , crowds who gather at the postoffice on the afternoon of publication day? Why are they there? To get their weekly visitor--the home get it tlie Editor gets the devil. % a *%. » Were you ever away from your home town for any great length of time? What was it you looked forward to every week? You can answer very easily--the old home newspaper. Friends or relatives may forget to write regularly, but the weekly paper reaches you every week and is just like a great, big, long letter from home. When it gets to you it may be dirty, torn and blurred, but that makes no difference--it's from home. Quite often a reader will throw the paper aside with the remark, "I have read it and there's nothing in "the d thing!" But just let that reader miss his paper the next week. He's lost without it. There may be "nothing in it" but he wants to scan those columns to find out. -She Plaindealer IS A HOME NEWSPAPER Nothing more. That is all its publisher claims for it. Printing the news of McHenry and surrounding territory is its object. Let the city dailies take care of the world news.

You, who are subscribers to this newspaper know the enjoyment you get out of its columns. Why not send it to .your relatives and friends who are away from home? They would probably appreciate and enjoy it more than if they were still residents of McHenry.

J** Laboratory Production of Diamonds Ended The conditions necessary for the crystal ization of carbon In the form of w--nnoUv .cm iv ue ititeiu.s e heat and a great pressure, such as exist dnring the formation of Igneous rocks. Successful attempts to reproduce these conditions artificially have been carried out by Professor Moissan and the English chemist, Professor Crookes. The method employed consists of heating pure prepared carbon and iron in an electric furnace. By sudden cooling of the molten iron the surface contracts and exerts a powerful pressure upon the Interior mass. When cold, the iron is dissolved in acid, and small black particules remain which exhibit the properties of genuine diamonds. No stones that are large enough to be of commercial value have yet been prepared, and while the process Is of great theoretical interest, it is far too expensive In comparison with the yield to be practicable even for the manufacture of diamond powder for polishing and grinding purposes. Moissan's 200 experiments costing $2,000 yielded.onehalf carat of diamond powder. SPRING GROVE Why Quality of Carbon Makes It Invaluable The most wonderful substance In the world Is carbon. Soot, lamp black, and pendl leads are all forms of carbon-- and so Is the diamond. The carbon atom possesses one remarkable quality. It enables other , atoms to combine Into huge groups or* families from which all kinds of substances are made. By themselves the atoms of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, can produce nothing very startling, but add carbon and their combinations become amazing, giving rise to such substances as petrol, oil, medicines, bread, and meat. If It were not for carbon, life could never have existed upon this or any other world. All kinds of living things --flsh, flesh, fruit, and fowl--owe their existence to the carbon atom. No one knows why this should be so,- for the carbon atom differs from others only In having one electron more or less than they. But it is quite certain that It is the foundation stone of all life.

The strong fall Kj£ids that blow on the east side of the continental divide in the Rockies play many tricks upoft individual trees in exposed situations of Glacier park. Often they are assisted in their quirks bv the crippling and swelling action of fungi. Weird as the trees of an old woodcut are the bent specimens of limber pine on the slopes of Mount Atl.vn. In the Two Medicine district, one tree has been forced to grow Into a complete circle. It has been unceremoniously dubbed the Donut Nee. Near by is another veteran, sacred to the Blackfeet Indians, who deem it a privilege to be photographed beneath Its gnarled and twisted boughs. It Is crippled "humpback." Why Chicago I. "Windy City'* Chicago is called the Windy city or the City of the Winds because of Its exposed situation on the margin of Lake Michigan and the frequent heavy winds blowing from the direction of the lake. A generation or two ago the most common nickname for Chicago was the Garden city, owing to the great number, extent and beauty of the public gardens and parks In the city. Chicago is also called Porkopolis in humorous allusion to its extensive pork-packing Industry. Wlqr VUioa Is LiniteJ . Tfce sky is the limit of one's rfsftrn. The Ay, or air which surrounds the earth. Is filled with countless tiny specks of what we may call dust--particles of solid things hanging or floating in the air. These specks are of Just the siee and quality that they catch and absorb part of the rays of light which form our sunlight and throw ofT the rest of the rays, and the part which has not been absorbed forms the combination of color which makes the sky appear blue. i Why Called "Cannibal*" The word "cannibal" comes straight from the Spanish, a relic cf pirate, days on the seas. Occasionally when cruising in the islands of the Caribv bean sea, the pirates #ould take too many liberties with the natives, known as "Caribs" or "Caribals," who had the habit of eating their captured enemies. In the course of time "Carl« bal" was corrupted to "cannibal," an4 has remained. -- Kansas City Time* * NOTICE OF INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS OF THE PEOPLES STATE BANK OF Me- HENRY.
