VALUABLE FEATURE OF WHEAT PROGRAM While no one in McHenry county is expecting a wheat crop failure in 1936, memories of the drouth in 1934 and flood damage this year in many sections of state have given new value to the crop insurance feature of the new wheat contract, according to John H. Brock, Farm Adviser. , This crop insurance feature, which is the same under the new contract as the old, proved its value during the drouth years of 1933 and 1934. For example, „ wheat adjustment payments to co-operating South Dakota farmers totalled $5,266,000 in 1934. The cash income frdm South Dakota's wheat crop that year was estimated at only $89,000. In other words, South Dakota farmers received almost 60 times as much from their wheat payments as they did from the scanty yields of wheat garnered from drough-ravaged fields, it is stated in reports from the extension service, College of Ariculture, University of Illinois. Many other counties and states have-profited from the crop insurance feature as provided by the wheat program.' The wheat payments are based on past production and are paid farmers who live up to their contracts, regardless of yields after the contract is signed, stated Farm Adviser Brock. Consequently, the payments offset to some extent all crop damage, whether caused by insects, dust, drouth, hail or flood. •"•••..' - Our Washington Letter --By-- National Editorial Washington, October 2 - Though a broad, system of munitions control will be effective in this country by November, reports are reading, that Capitol City shows a growing optimism that Europeans' wars will help lift this country from the six year e c o n o m i c d e p r e s s i o n . A n t i c i p a t i o n f o r quick recovery is based on our experiences during the early years of the World War. The Democrats are hopeful that a sudden upward turn will rescue them from explaining enormous expenditures without making an appreciable dent in unemployment. President Roosevelt's trial balloon sent out to test sentiment about continuance of the NRA is taken in some quarters as a symptohi of a moderated policy of government supervision of industry. The inference that rigidity of Federal control and interference hinges on business cleaning house No matter what issues are involved in the strike, the implications of having the Federal government subsidize a refusal to work makes officials shudder with apprehension. Fear is felt that an epidemic of labor troubles will follow such a precedent. It :s reported that the miners walked out as part of their leaders dramatic play to assure early enforcement of the new Guffey coal bill, which gave the unions an upper-hand in deali^ for wages and working conditions. The aftermath of the bitter fight in the House of Representatives over the Passamaquoddy power project in PRODUCERS COMMISSION ASS'N. ANSWERS FEEDING QUESTIONS In response to many requests for suggestions as to kind of cattle to feed and plan of marketing Chicago Producer's Commission Association has recently submitted the following information to the McHenry County Farm Bureau. At the present time the three following plans look the most promising: 1.--Good to choice heifers or fleshy feeders for a short turn on full feed to be marketed before the first of the year. 2--For the spring market plainer grades of steers or heifers that will utilize roughage and be marketed in late spring. 3.--For the late summer or fall market good to choice calves or yearlings. Calves should have a generous grain ration during most of the feeding period, while yearlings can first consume considerable roughage and then be put on full feed in the spring. WHAT NURSES FIND# DO Hearts have not grown haro nor have the purse strings been tied in the face of human needs with the passage of time during the strenuous volving harnessing the oceanlides'is jyear3 since 1929- Tho3e who can' re' to the effect that the enormous sums spond with quick generosity almost appropriated will never be spent. Government engineers are not sanguine as to the practicability of erecting hydro-electric plants along this section of the Maine coast. ^ The politicians are willing to forget if they are permitted to retreat from broad promises. The dopesters, back from Maine, say the surveys will cmitinue, that a housing project .will be carried out, but many moons will pass before power flows from the Quoddy waters. Conversations are turning to the probable reaction toward the pronouncement of a committee of prominent lawyers branding many laws passed by the last Congress as unconof "chiselers" is taken with a grain If* Congressional Rei> u_ bi... i cord was stuffed with similar charges which were catalogued as "political." While impartial observers believe the opinio a of business of salt. The Blue Eagle in its palm iest days with all government power to support a broom could not eliminate the unwholesome minority. It was a conceded fact that "chiselers" increased under codes. The wonder in industrial circles is what devices private groups can utilize to bring about ideal condtions when government backed by friendly public could not correct evils dealing. With the coal strike taking 400,000 miners from gainful employment, the cost of placing these men and their families on the same relief standards as those who want to work brings H policy question to the door of the Fed era! Administration. In other years, it was the custom to build up a ^'strike chest" or reserve fund for the boy cott of employers through refusal to work. The relief officials in mining communities are inclined to place strikers on the same footing with the [ment. involuntary unemployed and thua have •tirred a hornet's nest. motives of the Liberty League law committee were above reproach, concern is expressed as to the consequences which may flow from their opinions. The League is essentially nonpartisan and would have undoubtedly leveled the same criticisms if the Republicans controlled the national legislature. The rub for the strict constitutionalists comes in the chance that these legal luminaries may undo what the League wants increased respect for the Supreme Court. If, perchance, the highest tribunal eventually sustains the contentions of the barristers group, it may unwittingly lend plausibility to those factions wanting to subordinate the functions of the supreme judicial branch of the Federal government. At present the controversy is confined to the "legal ethattributed to premature com universally when a practicable method of meeting important problems that relate to health is brought to community attention. This fact is revealed over and over again by the reports of public health nurses. The report of Ethel Winn, supervising school nurse in Joliet, is a good example. During the last school year this report points out, 12,544 gallonu of milk were provided through funds raised by a local newspaper for approximately 1,000 children whose health demanded this protective food. In addition to this the nurses persuaded the parents concerned to provide 2,744 gallons of milk which was served daily from half-pint bottles to other malnourished children. A decline from the average for the last five years in the proportion of underweight children is doubtless a tang ible result of this work. Gain in weight, it may be observed, is but the outward (evidence of substantial benefits derived from an adequate diet and good nutrition. ^ "ATTA BOY," FRANK ' ^ St. Paul, Sept. 14. We left the idling young "Yahoo" watching "Uncle" Billie Tilton at work. I wonder what became of his daughter, Effie? He was a nervous hard-working man; spare of build and of a nervous temperament. It was said that he even walked about the house all night so that he could be sure.to gkt the help out at daybreak. ^ -Anyway, our bodies are like any machine, we can wear them out fast, or conserve their resources. God rest him. "Uncle" Billie was a philosopher;' loved to watch him work and hear him talk. • Outside again, •tfiS' mail vaguely in mind, the youngster takes up his way. "TEMPUS FUGIT" greets his eyes, painted oh a large dummy watch, and' he drops in to see "Jeweler" Smith. "Nice day," says he, "Nicest September we have had in over one huh1- dred years." That was his way of measuring time. In a small living room, just in the rear of the shop, sits his wife, and a glimpse of Lena "fixing" her weiith of brown hair. Lena toed out when she walked, and I have wondered if she or Tim Kimball ^wore the pants." The young man continues on his way, and, in memory, sees Jack Huerell coming up the street, and wondevs how the widow McKinley happened to marry him. Jack was a character, French, and he had a game leg. Busted knee cap, I think, and I can see him now, kicking his^leg out in front of him, where it seemed to poise for a moment before it swung down. He carried a black cane, and he, resembled a stately ship beating its way into the wind. Mr. Huerell was a spiritualist, or thought he was, and showed a gap in his education. Listen: "And there, before me, stood the spirit of my father, with all the marks of disgrace upon him. Yes, sir." Mrs. Wilson comes into view from the lower cross street and Ida and Clayton. Frank Calkins afterward lived in the Wilson home. Mrs. Searles and her daughter, Florence, say a cheerful good morning, as our hopeful passes their millinery store. Across the street is the new home of John Miller. Eleanor McGee quickens the pulse. "Her brown hair-- what a mess it was, as soft an<|, fine as silk. No wind-moved willow by a brook, had ever such a grace, a form of Aphrodite, and a pure Madonna face." The poet's outburst, excuse the quotation, but Eleanor was a sweet girl, and a niece of Dr. Feger's. I feel a flood of reverence upon me as I think of that splendid man. He fras a generous, kindly man, and as a physician, I wish we had more of his honesty today. Humanity, in general, seem to think that a doctor easily earns his fee. Far from it. He takes his problems of life and death back with him to his office. Many restless nights of anxiety, and silent prayers to the Creator. How helpless is mere man when death stalks! Edgar and Lonnie Bishop came into the field of memory. Edgar could "chin" himself fifty times to prove that chewing tobacco did not harm him. I can see Lonnie, glasses and all, declaring that we would have national prohibition by the year 1900. Roll Wait$ and Alice, his daughter, are sorting the mail, so let's see, who goes there?" The big blond Senator Lorimer, on his way to the Bay. Bill Edwards, with his fishing outfit, is back again from Chicago to weekend. How he could snap a rod! J. VanSlyke is crossing the street and as he enters the postoffice, his son, Jesse, ducks out with a can, as Phil Mayes peeks out of the door of the sanctum window. "Happy days--sleepy and dreamy!" Gene Howe leaves his hardware store. Bob Madden is after the mail, and there is Peter B. Freund. Peter Thelen goes back into John Heimer's when he finds his jug missing. Remember? I,ooks around first and comes out mad, and there it is innocently just where he had left it. He rubs his head, looks up and down the street and says: "Well, by gott, dat's wat I call pretty tam seldom." Sherm Chappell is looking across the street. T. J. Walsh is after his mail and here comes Mr. Howell and F. G. Mayes, Father O'Neil with ^ squint in his right eye, which became him. See! There comes John Blake, A1 Howe and Frank Barbian. Dick Bishop gets up from his chair and walks around on the platform in front of the mill and sits down again, and tilts back. Maybe thinking that life is but a "yeasty ferment," or may be going over one of his hell ar^H damnation speeches. Subscribe for The Plaindealer; A HIGHER POWER An ardent defender of the New Deal was addressing an audience )n a western city. He said: "Franklin Delano Roosievelt haa given us the New Deal." "I don't like it," came a voice from the gallery. "Franklin Delano Roosevelt has led us from out the wilderness." "I don't like him," shouted the voice "Franklin Delano Roosevelt in all his actions as President has not relied upon himself alone--not arrogantly depended upon his own ; judgment No! He has turned to a higher pow er--to that decisiveguiding power-- "I don't (Uu her, either!" cried the >voice. front of the house. ""Just a minute," says I, as Jack came abreast, "Are you the village constable?" says I. "I am," says he, without a flicker of recognition. "Do you remember the boys way back thirty years?" I asked. "I do," says he looking me ove* carefully ."Who was the hell-raising ringleader on Hallowe'en, and other times? The one you never caught?" He scratched his head, looked me over again, and said: "You can't be Frank Bennett, can you?" We shook hands cordially, and held a reminiscence meeting. Presently Jack asked: "Tell me, now it is all over and passed, how did you get that rope into the belfry of the M. E. church, when the boys tolled it from down by the mill pond ? I got a key from the parsonage," says he, "and climbed the ladders and just as I got to the top the old bell went boom, and I thought I had you. But there was no one up there, and I felt creepy until I found the rope and cut it. Darn fun* ny for you, but me, trying to satisfy everybody, it was not so fine. I went down the ladder, and, after a search, found the binding twine, but it led up into the trees in Mrs. Howe's yard, and you weren't up in there, either. How'd you do it ?" "Well," jsays I, "Jack, it was this way: We first rut a piece off of someone's clothesline, jrnd I, having a key, opened the church door, taking a round rock along to which we tied the binding twine, that we tied onco the clothesline. We used the clothesline, Jack, so that it would not saw through on the belfry lattice work like the twine would. Then we tied the clothesline to the clapper on tha bell, and threw the rock out through the blinds. Then we threw the rock over the trees until we had crossed 'Modoc avenue,' and, then we kept unrolling the twine, and every now and then we boomed the bell." "So that is how you did it,' 'says Jack, but tell me how did you kids get that wagon upon the roof of Hanly's Mill"?" • Good old Jack! There were few like him and he was just as happy in his protectorate over the Good Old Town, as though he had traveled afar. \ Hello, Loretto Walsh. Thank you so much for your splendid letter and give my love to Ed. And Hello, Miss Amy, I am going to draw a picture of you soon. Albert Holly and I are going to fight the war with Spain all over again for the Old Timers' Club. And you, Margaret, and Delia, I'll bet you are just as splendid women as you were girls. More letters, please. Say, you, "Chize" Woodburn, you young hell-raiser, throw a "bag" and "your precious helpmate" into your car and come on up. What the dickens? Where have you been? Square yourself with a letter to the Plaindealer. Now, all of you who are not in the Plaindealer family, get back in, and, if possible, make some Old Timer a Christmas present of a subscription. These remniscences are history and if error creeps in, let a correction be made by someone who better knows the facts. And a word to Old. Timers who have not been mentioned as yet, dont' feel hurt, please. You are all written on memory's page, and the stories will grow better and better, as more join the club, and I will make my "O" and C" plainer, so "Young Oliver" and Old Oliver" will not have wrong initials. That's a girl, Delia, your reminiscences article brought back old memories. And Charley Block, young fellow, your letter is as good as a breath of spring. The live wires of youth are the live wires of today. Just you wait until Harry Wightman, Will Mead, Fred Colby and others get going. Nothing doing in McHenry ? The old town is full of live stuff to write about. No, Delia olfa pal, your missing melons were none of my doing maybe. We never took any melons or apples, except to satisfy immediate cravings, and spirit of adventure, and then we visited friend or foe alike. One tiipe, when the Bennetts lived in the Munson house, I discovered Jim Perry eating our grapes. He looked up with that entrancing smile, you know so well, and said:' Come on and have some, they seem to taste better than ours." And Herb and I felt honord to find him in our vineyard, and after a happy visit, we went over to Perry's and ate their grapes. The Plaindealer has enough of my stuff ahead for about a month and then you will read something about just what I've been doing up hgre, away from home. Love to you all. FRANK BENNETT. next year I came back for a vacation and, like most vacationists in those days, fished in the pond where fishing was good, far better than now in this locality. I seined in the creek for minnows for bait and got pails and pails of them, many of them bass up to four inches long. My brother, Lewis, happened along on the dam. He was clerking at Perry & Owens' store and had a punch in his pocket that was used to punch tickets of farmers, showing how much they bought. We took that punch and punched the tails of dozens and dozens of those bass; our hands ached from punching st many; and threw the fish in the pond Fish grow fast, and, "believe it or not," in four or five years the boys were hauling fine large bass out of the pond with holes in their tails, and to this day not knowing how they came there. The old mill pond and' dam, the most picturesque part of McHenry-- it makes me lonesome when I see where they once Were. Whoever punctured that landmark ought to get life. Henry McLean was a character, ec» centric, bright, at times almost brilP liant and always interesting. He was tall, angular, poorly dressed and always shabby. He was a great friend and admirer of Lincoln and in ways they were quite similar. He was much in politics and spent much time at Springfield and in the sixties at Washington. He lived in a run-down house on the north side 6f McCollum'at Lake. I use^ to hear them tell that on one of his trips he married a very prominent and wealthy woman. He had told her that he had a castle and large estate on a beautiful lake. In due time they arrived--a coach with a pair of English cab horses, footman, maid and a very lovely lady in silks and satins, to an old shack and desolate place. She soon returned to her Southern home and died not long after. Henry had three children, two boys and one girl. The boys didn't amount to much, but Minnie became very attractive and drifted to Chicago and the red lights. She finally married John McCullough, one of the greatest Thesperean and tragic actors of his time, who himself died a tragic death. I am hoping to see more letters from Old Timers. Come on, you! GEORGE W. OWEN, Elgin, Illinois. JOHNSBURQ Here comes Gottlieb Boley, pond' erously, up the street. Sim Covell drives up in his farm wagon, a number of milk cans aboard. And there is John Thurlwell from Lily Lake Well, let's get going. Mrs. Gates has her mail, and you know that "Mizz" has let Wilson out of the house, so let's hustle back and see the fun, so ("Chize") Wally Woodburn says, "Come on, Frank, I'll beat you home." But no fun this time, for Mizz has Wilson safely locked in the house again, and Mrs. Gates wonders where on earth hgr son got the fist fjill of cigar butts, and his pockets full of rocks. A youth is a savage, becoming civilized, and he never is civilized until he is paralyzed. What do you think of that?" A. boy can raise a lot of hobb and still grow into a respected man. Jack Walsh was of that opinion, and 1 held a great" admiration, for his philosophy. A dozen years ago, when Phil Mayes, Herb and I visited McHenry, I saw Jack coming down the street. We were calling on good olcT "Deak" Wentwerth, and I, just recovering WELCOME, NEW MEMBER! September 25, 1985. Editor Of the Plaindealer and The Old Timers' Club: The letters of my old friend, Frank Bennett, appearing in your columns have been most interesting to me and have revived many old and half-forgotten recollections. He mentions my old stallion, Geo. O," who and his progeny of fast steppers were well known in this part of the country back in the nineties I shall never forget when the stallion one winter's day .fortunately when I had on a heavy coat, grabbed me by the shoulder and quite lifted me off my feet, nor another time when he almost jerked a man's arm off, nor when I drove him in a race at the old Washington Park race track in Chicgao against Bud Doble and others. I had the better horse but got "pocketed" and lost out to those old experienced drivers. Frank Bennett hasn't. said - much about fishing, but he was our greatest fisherman. This reminds me of a fish story a little out of the ordinary, which I will tell you.
