Thomas, entertained Believe it or not, these two "Wayj century Back Wlhen" pictures are of two young, men well known in McHenry today, j the top one is an uncler(by marriage) to the lower boy, although they are both about the same age. This ought to be a test for our guessers. The picture last week was Of Melvin Whiting, an epiploye of Barbian Broj.j*»n Riverside Drive* ' "Black SliMp" llawit la G«Mral TroabU-Malcer A few "black sheep" species of hawks are to blame for the bad reputation of the whole family. Most hawks are moderate in their appetites, beneficial to farmers and models of upright avian behavior in their other activities, according ta> a monograph on North American birds of prey by Arthur Cleveland Bent, issued; by the Smithsonian institution. A few hawks appear to be unmitigated scoundrels who kill wantonly-- almost for sport. Others only kill to eat. Some, such as the marsh hawk, seem to delight in cruelty for its Own sake and will play with a victim much as a cat plays with a mouse. Thus one case was reported where a marsh hawk was observed to drop a horned lark which it had captured, sevpn or eight times and fcach time pounce on it again. This particular bird is very pugnacious, and does not hesitate to attack a man who ventures close to Its nest. "I have had them dash at imy head* repeatedly," says Bent. M'and keep it up is long as I was anywhere near the nest." One case noted where such a hav.!; attacked a man a mile away.,;The bird is an intolerant, aggressive arid pugnacious defender of its home territory, as everyone knows who has ever attempted to invade its precincts. - - One of the "good hawks" is the common red-shouldered hawk of the eastern United States and southern Canada. Among all the birds ofH»rey, Bent says, it is the great home lover. Pairs presumably are mated for life. One such couple will appropriate a certain territory, such as a small woodland, fight -off zealously any trespassers, and build their nests there every spring for nearly half a COST $l,N0 PER MOUTH FOR COUNTY RELIEF OF WILSON PACKING COMPANY $60,028 FOB FIRST MONTHS FIVE It has cost on the average of $12,000 per mqgth to take care of McHenry county's poor the'past five months according to a survey of the monthly reports of the Illinois Emergency Relief Commission.

Freund,' years old, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mike Freund, at Spring Grove Tues- [ day afternoon, July 5, 1^38, at 6:15 Word "Reich'* Is German for Government Systems The word "reieh" is a German word meaning kingdom, empire, state or commonwealth. Entymologists believe it to be related in origin to the English word "realm," which is traceable to the Latin "regere," to rule or keep straight. The verb "reichen" in German means to reach, observes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. During the days of the German empire it was customary to speak of the empire as the reich to distinguish it from the kingdoms, provinces, confederacies and other political units of which it was composed. After the kaiser's abdication in 1918 the name survived as the „ _ » common appellation of Germany, p. m„ following several months of[ and it ^ correct I. HL TO. > V.

WISER - PHANNBNSTILL NUPTIALS WEDNESDAY Name Phyllis of Greek Origin The name Phyllis is of Greek Mary's | origin and has the pretty meaning "a green bough," writes Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Legend says that the first Phyllis was a Thracian princess' betrothed to one Demophoon, son of burial' Theseus. Believing he had deserted her, she killed herself and was changed into an almond tree with bare branches. When Demophoon returned and sorrowfully embraced the tree it put forth leaves. Hence the present meaning of the name Phyllis. PhUlis Wheatley (about 1754-84), American negro poet, was bom in Africa.
