BARRETT f RINGWOOD Vfl ^,.:f:;»)v : \'-U, : r," \ «lp¥j: s •«. ..v'-' ...v "\ historians tell ns that civilization Win go forward Just so far as it has i;ooe backward. The pendulum of a clock swinjrs in both directions an e q u a l d i s t a n c e from the center. Society can make no progress "Without a past out of which that progress emerges. The past, remote land inaccessible as It is, Is very definitely related to and responsible for the present. "Out of the yesterdays many and great" come both the mind and material which makes onr future. So far as society is concerned, the most important contribution the past makes to the. present is experience. All else may fee forgotten, irst that remaltts. It Is experience that urges us to avoid past mistakes and p#afit by the lessons we h«w learned. If " this w ere not so would l>e impossible. We bestagnant when we live more Ifl the part than iti the present. Livinp J» the past means that we repeat the same mistakes, think lh the same old grooves and harbor the same selfish mental attitudes toward life's value. A fresh start, or the power to begin o*«r again, whether we start with the new day. week or year, requires a very definite breaking with the past. The son? of Pippa In Browning's poem, expresses the true philosophy , of progress. "Wherefore repine with th*e to> lead me O lay of mine."- , -Breaking with the past demands the, elimination of all remorse arid the removal from our vocabulary of that obnoxious little word, "if." 'The moment we carr.v into the future all that is suggested by the phrase, "it might have been,** we impair vision.*diminish vitality and cloud Judgment. The decision to begin again demands a tremendous amoun.. of will-power. Theodore Roosevelt always took keen delight in speaking about "his second wind." Our second wind, or the opportunity of a fresh start, is within the reach of every person who casts off weights taken over from the past and permits courage, hope and perseverance to lead him on. ,i Western New»p4.per Union.

HENRY L. COWLIN Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court of McHenry County, Illinois of the Corn-Hog explanation meetings. These explanation meetings will be" in charge of the County Allotment Committee and the County Farm Adviser. Following the explanation meetings, a series of sign-up meetings will be held. All indications point to the fact that McHenry County will have a larger sign-up this year than last, when 498 people cooperated in the program. The anticipated larger sign-up is based upon the fact that, the changes made' in the 1936 program are more suited to the condi* tions prevailing in McHenry county. The biggest single change in this con-: nection is the fact that there are no contracted acres. Benefit payments are made on the reduced corn acreage and the reduced acreage can be plant* ed to any crop. The Allotment Committee consider it very important that all farmers attend the explanation meetings. There were some who did not cooperate in the 1934 program owing to the fact that they did not understand what the program had to offer. E. F. Kuecker, president of the McHenry County Corn-Hog Control Association states that when the final payments have been made the 498 cooperators in the 1934 program will have received payments exceeding $150,000. The schedule of explanation meetings is as follows: Friday, January 25, Marengo High j School, 1:15 p. m. Saturday, January 26, Huntley High School, 1:15 p. m, No meetings--January 28 to February 2.
