It is a natural curiosity even if its alleged altitude records are questioned, observes a writer in the Detroit News. Known scientifically as the Anabas testu-dineus, it is said to climb trees and propel itself into locations accessible only with a pair of wings. The climbing perch can live for a rather long time out of water and can make his way over land. An examination of a specimen reveals that he has no legs, arms or other appendages which would enable him to climb a tree, even if he had any. particular reason for climbing one. He is able to wiggle his way over land by means of some spines which extend from the edge of the gill covers on either side of his head. These spines are stiff and bony. When a climbing perch folds it desirable to' move from one body of water to another he extends his gill -covers at right angles to his body. Then, by wiggling his tail and pectoral fins and rolling from side to side as he uses the spines as levers he is able to move over fairly rough ground with an ungainly gait. His locomotive apparatus is so constructed that it would not function on a smooth surface or in such a precarious footing as the limb of a tree. The climbing fish is a* relative of the Bettas, paradise fish and Gouramis and, like these species* has the ability to breathe air. Jenolan Caves Created by Underground Rivers Among Australia's sights are the Jenolan caves, a series of caverns in the valleys of the Great Dividing range. The caves were qyeated by underground rivers and are decorated with limestone formations. There are ten of these caves, which have been decorated by the ceaseless dripping of water through the limestone belts above them. The Grand arch is a natural bridge 470 feet long and 40 to 80 feet high with a varying width of from 50 to 227 feet. Just below it is the willow bordered blue lake. Carbonate of lime colors the water. This lake is the confluence of three rivers. two of which flow underground, and the third through the Grand arch.

The caves were discovered in 1838 by\a Charles Whelan, while he was following the tracks of stolen cattle. But an outlaw named McKeowan had been there before him. His camp was found by Whelan. The river flowing through the Grand arch is known as McKeowan's creek. Jenolan is an aboriginal word and means a high mountain. • Revere Silver 'Revere was the greatest early American silversmith. At nineteen he took over his father's business. Most of the Revere silver in existence was either of his manufacture or made under his personal supervision.

About five o'clock Sunday afternoon, the baby's heart stopped beating and a short time later she was pronounced dead. The body was then placed on the scales to be weighed. There was much excitement a moment later when the baby started to cry. It had come back to life! The baby was quickly placed back in the incubator and to the surprise of everyone progressed . very well. On Monday she opened her eyes and the physician and nurses smiled with delight. About 4 o'clock I Monday afternoon, the last spark of life in Baby \Wyke was gone, much to greater simplicity of decoration and beauty of proportion than is usually found in English work.

"ECONOMY SALB" TOPICS BBtDS NEED FRESH AIR; NOT DRAFTS Exposure Often Results in Outbreaks of Colds.w WNU S*rvlc«. Drafts are a source of danger to poultry.^ The birds need ample air circulation in their houses, but they should not be exposed to direct drafts and dampness, as this frequently results in outbreaks of colds or bronchitis, and sometimes sorehead or pox, if the birds have not been vaccinated. Birds should not be crowded in the laying houses There should be at least four square feet pf floor space for each bird. Overcrowded birds develop a higher percentage of culls, lay fewer and smaller eggs, and are more susceptible to disease. Feed a high quality laying mash-- you get more for your money when you buy a good mash. Check a few pullets occasionally for body weight and regulate the grain feed accordingly. Keep pullets separated from older hens, as pullets need more grain to build up body weight, and cannot be fed properly when mixed with the older and bigger hens. Birds that molt late and keep up a good egg production shouM be marked wig} colored legbands so they can be. selected for breeding purposes. If you do not plan to buy good chicks from a reliable hatchery, you should arrange to breed onlyk your best birds, as that is the only way you can build up a good, profitable flock. TWOJPAMEBJ « *9 OROAXIZX NEXT MONDAY Both the Republican and Democratic county central committees will meet next Monday night to organize elect a chairman for each party. This is according to the law that both major parties must organise the second Monday after ,the primary. Chairman C. Frank Daly stated *hafc he has issued a call for the meeting for Monday. , Likewise Chairman Henry Miljer of McHenry has issued a call for a Democratic meeting. Whether Chairman Daly will be- a candidate for re-election as head of the Republican committee remains to be seen. He said that he has been urged by a number of committeemen in the county to accept the chairmanship again. He refused to say whether he will be a candidate or not He did say that he Would be willing to leave it up to the committeemen to do the thing best iter the party. Daly, who is the Republican nominee for county treasurer this fall, has been a real .leader of the party in the county for a number of years. He has been a tireless worker and a staunch Republican at all times. It is for this reason that many of the committeemen in the county want to see liim stay on the job for two years more. " In the Democratic ranks "i new chairmfen is to be selected. This is because Henry Miller, present chairman' defeated for re-election as committeeman for the McHenry three precinct. The names of Osmtr Olson, state highway officer of Woodstock, and John J. Hayes, state Inspector of foods, have been mentioned. It is evident that the new. chairman wiH Tte a Earner backer as the Horner crowd carried the county in the primary and will have control of the committee. Profit for Farmers in "Short-Haul" Forestry Short-haul forestry means the growing of timber so as to cut transportation costs--growing it near where it is to be used. As the centers of active logging have moved westward the freight haul to the average farm has increased. Now --with four-fifths of the standing saw timber located in the Far West-- lumber has become almost a luxury on many farms although it is stilla necessity. The freight bill for the long haul from the West Coast often exceeds the price of the lumber at the mill, says the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture. . Long-haul costs give an increasing advantage to the farmer who grows timber for nearby consumption. The farmer who grows his own timber, the forest service points out, finds that he can market any surplus at a price that is set primarily by competition of lumber that includes a heavy charge for freight. This has created a growing advantage for saw logs from farm woods that are in or near areas where there is no longer enough timber to supply the local demand. Good farming land is ordinarily tod valuable for timber culture, but on land that has been ip the marginal classification, the increasing overhead for hauling has been tipping the balance in favor of more farm woodlands and short-haul forestry. On page 7 or this issue of The Plaindealer readers will find listed many bargains under the heading, "Economy Sale." This page contains listings from fifteen local merchants, who are co-operafing in a movement to stimulate buying in McHenry. This sale will run for six more weeks, being held each Saturday during that time. It will pay to watch this ad every week. There is an opportunity to save many dollars on purchases. The store which has the large center sfrace, in addition to offering many specials, will give away a merchandise certificate to the customer whose purchases total the largest sum on that day. Somebody is going to get this credit slip each week and the value of it is $7.00 This week the center space is being tised by Gibbs' Grocery and Market, in West McHenry. This store offers many special bargains in foodstuffs. The one who makes the largest purchase will receive the $7.00 merchandise credit certificate. Pullets Suffer From Colds As colds arr sually caused by poor ventilatio over-crowding, and a poor feeding schedule, these conditions should be carefully checked and the errors corrected. All birds showing symptoms of colds such as a nasal discharge or foamy eyes should be isolated at once. The flock should be given Epsom salts at the rate of one-half pound of salts to three gallons of drinking water. Then the house and utensils should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Where the disease is well established it is not economical to treat individuals and these should be destroyed. Keep a good germicide in the drinking water as long as there is evidence of the trouble, advises an authority at the North Carojjip.^ tate college. With the Farmers Every state in the United States now has 4-H clubs. Kentucky's poultry valued at $20,000,000. industry 1s Draft ef Ships have a lighter draft in salt water than in fresh water because salt water has greater buoyancy. A 30,000-ton ship in fresh water draws eight inches more than in salt water.

Seal Idea an Old One The use of a seal of sticker to raise funds for charitable purposes is not new.
