' Science -service quotes an article In the British scientific publication Nature by R. \V. Gray of Exmouth, Eng land, who has made a special study of the behavior of whales, in which he Says that only exceptionally, when the sea is very smooth, as In the. ice, can one see whales breathe while lying motionless at the surface. Owing to their shape, writes Mr. 'Gray, whales usually can only bring their blow-holes Into a favorable position for breathing by coming up to the surface obliquely at some speed; as they only get time ro take a single breath, they have to repeat the performance again and again. The interval between the reappearances is very short, the animal diving only to a slight depth and progressing quite ' rapidly t usually in a straight line. Narwhals are sometimes Seen breathing while motionless, particularly "In very fine weather. Unlike the whales, they are prevlded with a subcutaneous chamber connected with their single blow-hole, which may help td prevent water from reaching their lungs.

Apache Indian Prays . to Spiders Is Revealed When an Apachfe Indian prepares for a long journey he prays to the spider, says a Writer in the Santa Fe Magazine. Legend has It that the first Apache sought to reach the sun, but the trip proved long and difficult Arrived one evening at the nest of a desert spider, the Indian was invited by the insect to come into his home for food and rest. Without hesitation the Apache stepped toward the spider's den, which miraculously opened wide to receive him. Once inside, the spider showered him with hospitality and commended him, for his courtesy. "All others," said the spider, "have passed me by an<J scoffed at my invitation to stop over wJth me. They ridiculed my small and humble, home, but you were courteous and kind." ... . • As a reward, the spider spun a web from the earth to the Sun, tightened the web and by drawing the earth and sun together shortened the Apache's Journey. Thus the Apache relies upon the aid of the spider to shorten distances for him. • • Mask* Have £»ra le faicldenfs often give birth to great Idea*. And Just in case you are one of the numerous baseball fans who have *heen asking who first thought of the idea of putting ear protectors on the masks worn by umpires, here is how It happened, as related by Pathfinder Magazine: Way back in 1912 an umpire named Billy Evans was checking them off behind the plate when a fast one pitched by Walter Johnson passed through the catcher's hands and seriously damaged the umpire's ear. Right then and there f" Evans decided an umpire's ears deserved protection and told the manufacturers so--and there have been ear protectors on the ump's masks ev*r since. Conserve Hay Crop, Warning to Farmer po kot Plow Up; Save Alt * to Make Good for Shortage During Season. by the United Stktet DeptrtlMItt' ~ of Agriculture:--WNU Service. "Dflin't plow up timothy, alfalfa or- -any other crop which will produce hav in 1935." * This is the admonition of Or. A. J. Pleters of the United States Department of Agriculture, who for a quarter of a century has kept tab on forusje crops of the United States. , He says. "Farmers would normally plow up a certain part of their timothy and al falfa acreage. But in view of present conditions. itfe would seem wise to leave these fields, even though they do not produce a full .crop." ' His conclusion/ that a. shortage of hay Is certain neft' year uo matter how fast fat to' £onditionsa>itbt improve frem now on, fs Substantiated by these facts: Our greatest production of hay each year Is from clover and timothy, an" hverage of about 30,000,000 tons for the last, ten years. Most of the 103." trrops would normally be producfeil fi-om clover and timothy seeded in ,15)34. But this year's seeding is al .most a total loss^ Clover aad timotliy tonnage in 1935 is bound to be light. V Alfalfa comes, next in annual pro duction--around 25,000,000 tons. The acreage of this legume In 1935, If changed, will be less than this year. Thousands of acres seeded to alfalra In the fall of 1933 and the spring of 1934 have failed for want of moisture. Many old alfalfa fields have been tilled by the extreme drouth. The shortage of this yeftr's crop'cannot possibly be mad% up in 1935. Seed for :tTife dnhhal lia^-s siich a? millet, Sudarf grass" afid so^ beans, may not be very abundant next year. In -any event we are likely to need all the seed we can get. There IS no way of-immediately increasing the acreage of wild hays, whiclr producfe less ,than 15,000,000 tons annually. "The present and future shortage of hay can be partially solved," says poc-V tor Pleters, "by Saving every available; acre of grasses and legumes for future* uise, even if such hiay will not be needed by the farmer wlio cuts It or by farmers In that patt^f fh4 country. There5 will be a market for the better grades of hay In the drouth areas. Hay of poorer quality can be fed profitably at home. Besides the. profit,. It Is the ^patriotic duty of every farmer to con- . serve every available pound of feed and forage. Our live stock, and dairy Industry,, depend upon If I , , I ' , nlifc'l.

MARGARET Ml FREUND Riverside Drive, McHenry BATTING-GIES Miss Emma Batting of Chicago and Mr. Peter Gies were united in marriage in Chicago on Noj^ 10, and after a short wedding trip returned to McHenry, where they are now living in the Gritzmacher building in the flat back of Mr. Gies' shoe repair shop. The bride, who came to Chicago six years ago from Luxemberg, Germany, has been employed with the Charles Hollenbach family, both in Chicago and at Pistakee Bay. The bridegroom has made many friends during his several years of business in McHenry, who extend, congratulations and good wishes. AUXILIARY PARTY McHenry unit of the American Legion Auxiliary sponsored a card party in Legion hall TTiursday evening. The admission charge was a glass of jelly to complete the unit's quota of 100 .si??.5?®,?, for charity. Nine tables were in play with prizes in bridge awarded to Miss Marie Powers, Mrs. Herman Schaefer, Miss Frances Bauer and Miss Mayme Buss; in five hundred to Mrs. Emily Lawson, Mrs. William Smith and Mrs. Frank Hughes, and in bunco to Mrs- Floyd Reid. A business meeting wa§ held preceding the card party and' it was decided to change the meeting night from the third to the second Thursday of the month. Why Cal» See Batter in Dark Cats see better In the dusk because their eyes are specially sensitive to ultra-violet rays and the pUplift are capable of greater expansion than those of man or almost any other animal, thus admitting more light The belief that cats can see at night as well as by day, however, Is erroneous. The eyes shine because the caudal area around the optic nerve has a metallic luster that reflects the llght rays that strike them. Lice on Young Animals ; Check Normal Growth Farm animals are sometimes Infested with lice which may cause general unthrlftlness, especially In young ant mals. Each species of farm animal has Its own kind or kinds of lice which pass their entire life cycle on the animal, says the United States Depart meat of Agriculture. Calves or colts badly Infested with lice do not grow normally and may become permanently stunted. For this reason treatment should begin when parasites are first Observed. Animals affected with lie* may be ^dusted with Insect powder at any time, <,although the best method of eradication'Is by means of dipping or spray ln£ animals, In the fall, In arsenical, coal-tar creosote, or nicotine solutions. Why It It "Heavy" Water Heavy water Is composed of the satne elements (oxygen and hydrogen) as ordinary water but the hydrogen elements in the heavy water are twice as heavy as In ordinary water. This is brought about by concentration of deutons in the hydrogen atom by means of electricity. A long, slow process produces but a single ounce of heavy water from 400 gallons of ordinary water, so It is expensive, costing about 9150 per gram. Why They Are "Scot* Grejrt" This is the oldest dragoon regiment In the British army. It was raised in Scotland in 1963 and, under normal conditions. Is mounted entirely on gray chargers. - LADIES PLAN BAZAAR , .. . # _ . , _ Final plans for the annual bazaar * lctter ^ Camden's. atSf chicken dinner to be given by the Ladies' Aid society on Thursday, Dec. 6, are being made today at the meeting of the society held at the home of Mrs. John Fay. Work Is being finished and it is expected that there will be a larger assortment of aprons, rugs, fancy and useful articles and Christmas gifts than the ladies have ever had on sale at the M E. church dhring the alternoon and evening and a chicken-pie dinner will be served at 6 o'clock. A feature of the bazaar will be the booths, one for each day of the week, containing appropriate articles on sale with a committee of two in charge of each booth. Mrs. John Fay is in charge of the dinner and a delicious menu is being planned. The ladies are working hard to prepare for this event and th°ey are hop ing for the patronage of the public- Say yen read DXALBL it ta TBM PLAIN Why S»day Electiea* , Several European nations and many in South America hold elections and public functions on Sunday, as that Is the day of cessation from ordinary business. The continental Sabbath Is quite dissimilar from the early American Sabbath, church attendance In the morning, particularly early morning, is usual, after which the day Is largely given up to social and pftWIc fractions. •' Why "Dear" Is V*mi ia*L«tt»»« The word "dear," in the beginning of a letter was probably introduced tato England from France and waa first used oaly in letters to relatives and friends. As early as 1928 Ussher refers to the salutation-"Dear Sir" ID Cow Requires Much Water or Milk Flow Is Reduced 87 per cent of milk Is water, and if the cow Is unable to get an ample supply of wateri she is likely to reduce her milk flow. Cows producing large quantities of milk naturally need more water than dry cows or those producing only a small amount of milk. According to the state college man, studies indicate that the average cow needs about 12 gallons of water a day, but some high producing cows have been found to drink as much as 2S gallons a .day, especially daring hot weather. OQWS produce more milk when they have water available at all times during the day, either in drinking foun tains in the barn or at a stream, well, or some other outside source.
