KLEPTOMANIA "Mike, what is the difference between a kleptomaniac and a thief?" "Well, as an example--if you would • jgo out and find a rope and take it home, but there was a cow hanging on one end of same rope, you would be called a thief and placed in jail for (stealing. But if one of those noble aristocrats, jureaucrats, or politicians, well, if anyone of those little .criminals would take some money which doesn't belong to them, or if any of their sons and daughters would be caught by mistake 'shop lifting'-- Oh. that's different, that would be kleptomania. They would be taken • to the hospital, after a few days they . jure declared 'cured,'--till the next . time."

MOT'S SHOE STORE jjr£~- ---- West McHenry, Illinois ^ ^ Phone 162 fV More next week in this same corner Not Until 1940 or 1941 "VVill Average Be Reached. By R. C. Aahby. Chief In UveStoek Market- In*. TJnivertlly of nHnoU.--WNU Service. Not until 1940 or 1941 will live stock numbers be back to average, based oh the outlook for meat animals, according to the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics, The trend in all live stock numbers is expected to be upward during the next few years, with the larger production of feed in 1937 expected to result in an expansion in hog production and in cattle feeding in 1938 If feed crojT)«Qduction in the next three or four yearns equal to average, supplies of feefck will be large in relation to number\of live stock, and live stock prices will be high in relation to feed prices. Such a situation would be the reverse of that which has existed in most of the past four years. Total supplies of meats, excluding poultry, are expected to be larger in 1938, but will continue to be less than average. The increase in total supplies of meats will likely come in the last half of the year and will be largely in pork and the better grades of beef. It appears now that consumer demand for meats in 1938 probably will be somewhat less favorable than in 1937, the weaker demand and larger supplies probably tending toward a lower level of meat and live stock prices. Beciause of the drouth of 1934 and 1936, the volume of pork produced in the past three years has been much below average. As a result the total production of meats in this period has been much below average. Production of beef and veal has been somewhat larger than average since 1933. If feed-crop production continues near the 1937 level during the next few years, the trend in pork production will be upward, but such production probably will not reach a level equal to the 1925- 29 average before 1941.

Marsden, turkey expert in the United States Department of Agriculture, says research indicates that well-matured young hens and toms are fully as satisfactory for breeders as are older turkeys. In fact, the eggJF from young turkeys are likely to be more fertile and are likely to hatch beiter.,Furthermore, young hens will lay more eggs. Of course* if ,a turfed grower has kept records of the number of eggs each of his older turkey* laid during their Sift J0t, tho$t egg records may that many of the older turkey* m',likely to make better breedert vttian are the untried young turkcjni But the mere fact that one turkey^ is older than another is no guarantee that it will make a better breeder.

The account, graphically describing the disaster which took the lives of nearly 1,000 persons, was sent by an eyewitness, Rev. Joseph Bender/ missionary of the Sacred Heart station at Kokopo. Rabaul, the seat of the government of New Guinea, is at the northeastern tip of the crescent-shaped island of New Britain, situated on the edge of the beautiful Blanche bay; "At l:30 in the afternoon of May 28," writes Father Bender^ "we got warning of the eruption when we |elt an unusually strong earthquake. During the ensuing 28 hours there was an average of one shock every two minutes; ip fact, the earth was shaking practically all the time with varying degrees of intensity. We had become accustomed to such; shocks, however, and paid no further attention to them. But the people at the quarantine station, on a volcanic island in Rabaul bay which rose above the surface with the eruption of 1878, sensed something unusual, and on the following morning fled from the island, thereby escaping certain death. Lava Spurts From Mountain. "About four o'clock on the same afternoon the water in the channel separating the western side of this island from the mainland began to boil and clouds of steam rose into the air. A quarter of an hour later a murky, threatening column of clouds, illumined by the setting sun in the most fantastic designs, rose for several hundred meters above the volcanic island. "Molten lava squirted out of the mountain and fell with a great hissing into the sea, which then seemed to be boiling in a hundred different places. Soon an enormous shower of ashes was covering the whole surrounding country, near and far. { "The eruption occurred when virtually the whole population was on the road. Europeans and the boys were enjoying the week-end. Thousands of natives had been to market in Rabaul and were on the way home. . ' "Both volcanoes continued active for about 48 hours. When the sky began to clear and Rabaul bay could be seen, what before was more or less. flat island of volcanic formation, rising only a few yards out of the water, had become a mountainous cone 600 feet high. "Almost the entire population of Tavana, on the slope of the mountain northwest of the volcanic island, was destroyed. About 400 or 500 natives in other parts of the zone lost their lives. One European camera man perished while taking moving pictures of the eruption. Flee to Shelter. "The threatened area was inhabited for the most part by Catholic natives. They fled to shelter in the large roomy schools and churches, where the corrugated sheet-iron roofs afforded them a safe refuge from the shower of hot ashes. 'The incessant din above and below them, the mounting fireworks of the volcano, the dust-curtained heaVfna, the rolling thunder and the repulsive smell of gases, the dust and ashes ,which burned the skin and made breathing difficult, the darkness so thick that it seemed as if it could be touched and felt, awakened f@ar and dread. But the people stayed in church and prAyed, comforting one another. 'Thus prepared and reassured, they rushed out into the darkness to rescue others from the shower of ashes*" DEATH OXL3S ONE JIORK CIVIL WAR VETERAN, AGED 93 UPHOLSTERING--Furniture re-cov ered, re-upholstered and repaired.
