SPRING GROVE West African -Crocodil* More Active Than 'Gator Some of the huge Nile crocodiles are capable of dragging a man* or a large mammal through the underwater passages to their dens. They swallow a body, bones and all, and digest it at leisure, relates a writer in the Washington Star. ^ The West African crocodile is more active and dangerous than his American cousin, the alligator. His snout is usually more pointed and his teeth are set differently. He is perhaps the nearest remaining relative of the great-and fearsome dinosaur. \ The ancient Egyptians worshiped crocodiles of the Nile. They seemed to venerate them as symbols of fertility because they appeared in large numbers when the Nile flood ed its rich alluvjal deposits over the fields. Se^ral species of the crocodile are found in India, the Malay region and Australia.' A clue to their wide distribution can be had frorr a story told by- a zoo director, while he was» coHeeting East Indies;'::; .v.; It seems the natives of an island of the Fiji group were terrified b% a huge monster which had come ashore there from the sea. They found his great tracks in the marshes, heard his strange roar at night, and finally got a glimpse ot the creature. Soon the whole island was in an uproar. White hunters were dispatched tr the scene and shot a crocodile almost 30 feet long. His nearest natural home was the Solomon islands Wind, wave and tide had washed this giant through 1,000 mile* or more of Ocean. Indian Music Lacking in Harmony; Drum for Time Indian burlesque songs include the pleasure dances, the owl dance and the sage-hen dance, which are sung to proclaim the virtue of some member of the tribe who has been subjected to scandal. Other songs are the tobacco planting song, the medicine pipe song, ghost songs, etc. The priest sings the last, when he claims communication with the Great Spirit. Then there are love songs, and flute melodies. These are the most impressive to the white man. The quaint rhythms make a strange appeal to the senses. The songs are d i f f e r e n t in c o n s t r u c t i o n to the music of any of the white people. There is a kind of haunting melancholy about them which is difficult to describe in words. One has to hear them to understand tjieir peculiar character. ,' The Indian knows nothing of harmony, asserts a writer in the Montreal Herald. The only accompaniment is that of the drum, which beats out the time. The melody, however, is much better without such accompaniment, except in the dances. The best musician is he who has the greatest vocal compass, and can sing the most songs. He is usually very proyd of his voice and uses it with great effect in his spirit and love songs. FREE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY, WOODSTOCK If you are looking for a job, attempting to staff a factory or trying to locate a maid with whom it Would be safe to leave the children, you no longer have to carry on your effort? alone. In this community serving McHenry County you will find a public employment office located on the second floe r of the tPost Office Building «n Woodstck, Illinois that will help you. For the person seeking work "the j Government offers the service of a free public employment office, toj which thousands of job openings are reported each month. A much larger number of opportunities than he could possibly discover by his own efforts, are thus brought to his attention. * The employment service is not an agency to create jobs for the jobless. Nor, is it in &hy sehse a relief agency. Its purpose is to conduct a modern efficient system of public employment offices for the mutual benefit of employers and those seeking work . All the useful information about an applicant's work history is recorded on a registration card and fried. When ran employer notifies this office' of an opening, this file is consulted for the best qualified registrants who aife called in for interviews to make sure that they "fill the bill" in every respect. The Employment Service never actukl> ly hires a Worker except, of course, for its own staff. Its function is to refer to an employer the number of workers he wishes to interview for his position. The workers who are referred to any opening are carefully selected from available applicants, but whether the applicant is hired or not, rests with the individual applicant and employer. We urge all persons seeking employment to register with the employment service. At the present time this office has openings for, an experienced pants and coats presser, male secretary, spot welder, experienced window trimmer and show card writer, brass molders, besides numerous orders for experienced single farm hands and domestic workers. There are no charges connected with the service, either to employer or employees. All it takes is a short time to secure your work history. Is it now worth while if you are seeking employment to take these few minutes and open up the way for opportunities of securing work, that possibly you would never hear or know about, saving you both timte 3Rd money. Of course, we do not promise that if you register you will secure work. That is" based on the number and kind of openings received and the applicant's qualifications in filling same. If you have registered and we have not heard from you for 30 days or more, get in touch with the office at once, as we cancel all applicants that we have not heard from within a thirty day period, thus keeping our files active with qualified applicants.

Th,e species is found in certain creeks in the Philippines and is known scientifically as Pan daka pygmea. The bodies of these fish are slender and almost, tranr, parent, the comparatively' large eyes being th£ only feature clearly visible. The next fish in respect to size is Mistichthys luzonensis, also found in the Philippines. Its average length is about one-twelfth of an inch greater than that of Pandaka pygmea. Fish of this species are so pumerous in Lake Buhi, Luzon, that the natives catch them for food.

"This type of nation-wide used car clearance sale," s'aid Mr. Buss, head of the local Ford dealership, "is something new and unusual in the automobile industry. We are joining the rest ol' the Ford'dealers throughout the United States in inaugurating this new movement, and we expect that our share cf the sale will produce the largest- volume of used car sales in our history. "We feel that hundreds of persons now driving cars that are growing more costly to operate and losing in trade-in value daily will take advantage of this October sale, with the new low prices and unusual bargains offered, to obtain better transportation for winter. ' "Many of the used cars and trucks in our stock bear the famous Ford H & G' emblem, which means they have-been renewed and bear our written guarantee."

After graduation the rest? of the girls in her class had beenj on European trips or away at the seashore having lively times at the Summer hotels. It really was decent of Hazel to have her down now. They'd been rocr mates at college of course, but Hazel knew that Dorothy didn't have much money, and a lot of girls wouldn't have included her in their party. There were gay greetings all around her--"Hello; diarling. I hear you're going back to Paris .this winter. So am I -- we'll have a knockout time together!" "J*oan, dia you, hear about Gladys? Well/ it's a long story but she eloped and her father's fit to be. tied. He says he's going to leave her out of his will." ' . "Oh, well, she cart get a divorce and then stage a family reconciliation. You know Gladys--she's likely to do anything," retorted Joan, dropping into the chair nearest to Dorothy's. "Oh, hello, Dorothy. Haven't seen you since graduation. How's tricks?" But without waiting for Dorothy to a n s w e r , Joan had t u r n e d her back to Dorothy after an inspection of her dress. "Speaking of love and elopement and such things," she remarked to the other girls, "wait till you see the best man. He's absolutely the best looking male specimen I've yet laid eyes on. With a whole week; of parties in romantic country -- well, girls, just give me free rein. I warn you all--I'm out to kill." "What's his name?" "Who is he?" "Is he blond or brunette?" "His name is Joe Douglass. He's only been out of Yale for a year and he's a striking brunette. I've never met anyone like him. I had lunch with Hazel and her fiance and him when she was in town to buy her trousseau." Dorothy met Joe Douglass that afternoon, but Joan ran over to him with one of the latest jokes, and pulled him away before he had much more than acknowledged the introduction; Dorothy liked h i s looks -- the nice steady look in his eyes, his square chin, his broad shoulders. ~ At the dance that night, everyone appeared at his or her best. Joe danced with Dorothy and told her a few things about his life. He had been working with an oil company since he finished college and within a couple of months he was to be transferred to Shanghai. The days passed. But Dorothy saw little of Joe. There were polo games .between the men and women-- but Dorothy had never cared for riding horseback.. Joan was an expert horsewoman. They all went swimming together, but Dorothy was not a very good swimmer. Joan, however, was proud of her speed in the water. "Can't you do anything?" cried Joan at dinner one night as. she blushed when everyone turned around to see who Joan had spoken to. Then, suddenly, she regained her poise and threw her head back, laughing. . _ "Well, I can cook and straighten up a house and sew," she said. "And I can play the piano. Outside of that -- well, that's about all."- "Bravo, Dorothy!" cried Mr. Thompson. "You're O. K. And I wish my daughter Hazel were as well equipped to make Daniel as good a wife as you'll make the man you marry!" A terrible thing happened two days later at the Thompsons' Rouse party. The girl who was to be maid of honor at the wedding was taken sick. It looked like a case of the flu and she was required to stay In bed. <u, - Hazel was extremely upset. "Just my luck," she said to Joafl7 "Well, it can't be helped, so it's up to you 40 choose another maid of honor. I'm an. applicant for the position -- in fact the dress will just fit me, and--" Bitf Joztn was interrupted/ "And it will fit Dorothy, too," said Hazel quietly. "I'm going to hunt her up and tell her she's elected." So when the day of the wedding arrived, Dorothy walked down the aisle of the pretty church alone,, just in front of the bride. Looking straight ahead, her eyes met those of Joe Douglass as he and the groom waited. Later that evening after all the excitement had died down Joe escorted Dorothy to a secluded corner of moonlit lawn. "I don't want to rush you; Dorothy, but -- well, I'm in love with you, and I haven't much time before I'll have to sail.. Then I'll be so far away and for. so long a time -- unless you'll go along with me to cook, straighten up the housfe --arid play the piano f<?r me--won't you marry me, Dorothy dear?" Dorothy knew from the softness Of his voice and the'sincerity in his eyes that what he said were his true feelings. She didn't give a verbal answer but Joe found her way of saying yes quite understandable and satisfying. ' HORNER'S "FIRST PLEDGE* m TAMMANY LOVE FEAST "REUNITES" HORNER WITH BOSSES .
