NINE THINGS CORN- , HOG FOLKS MAT JX> Interest in the corn-hog adjustment campaign in McHenry county has gained so much momentum that many farmers are eager to know What they can do to help, Bays Farm Adviser W. A. Herrington- In answer to such inquiries, the extension service of the College pi Agriculture, Uniyersity of Illinois, has issued a list of things that farmers can do now to speed up the project that will bring about the distribution of $350,000,000 to co-operating corn and hog producers in the United WHY: Size of Your Hut Doesn't Affect Your Brain There's a grain of truth tt the adage: " "little head, little wit; big head, not a bit." At least,, that is what Professor C. Judson Herrlck of the University of Chicago asserted before the anthropology division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. While admitting that measurements of the brain have offered hut meager material as to-its mental capacity, he referred to the old adage as having just a bit. of truth in it, adding: States.

Howard has strived hard for the past three years, to build up » team and certainly has made a grand sucess, now that the boys are in their Senior year. It was a popular victory that cinched things for the Flanchermen as the crowd seemingly always likes to see the larger schools trampled on.

McHenry played a 'whale of a game against Crystal Lak^ only to flounder around against Mar* cngo in the tournament.

Although they burn ^f»?r%irilions and millions and millions mot* years, there conies a time when, lite everything else. fhe.t get burned up. Then, count less, more years later, wtoep Ttie last light of the star fire has traveled the great distance to tl»e earth, we on earth Qotlce that one of the stars has "gone out." Of course, before one talks of stars at all, one Is obliged to tune one's mind to figuring in so many Millions ef miles and so many more millions ef years, that we can really have only the fuzziest ideas of this space and time. It is too technh^al to explain Just how these astrononier8S»ftgure out the weight and size aud stuff of the stars, by their light, and the pictures J* makes. But once they have estimated the weight and kind of material which is burning in any particular star, It is comparatively easy td calculate how long it will take It to burn into ooth ing. Knowing this, these scientist* can teU how long it will take the gas (for they know how much there <t« of it and what kind it is) to hum, and tiow long It, will take the rocks awl metals and other things of which tie star is made, to be consumed. Then, just to be absolutely safe, they figure that certain tramp shooting stars, which are flying about in the "lehiity, may fly Into their star, and add <to it more stuff to burn. V Having taken all this into consideration, they conclude that the average efcar will probably burn for 100,- 000,000,000,000 years--which If spelled out, reads one hundred trillion years So it len't very likely that we haw to worry, about lack of starlight oa earth In the near future.--Boston Herald.

It is because some farm homes are close to the road and some far back. The farmer has to maintain his otvn service pipes and the company charges him at the point the gas leaves its line and enters the farmer's line. The farmer usually gets his ga? from a high pressure main line that chances lo pass ftlong the highway in front of his home, so a regulator to reduce the pressure is used . with the meter.
