In this sixth Supreme Judicial district, the Republican party had many j fine men to offer as candidates for judge. After friends of each potential candidate had been given an opportun- ! ity to recite the virtues of each, it was the unanimous choice of the Re- ' publican party at the Oregon con-! vention that Judge William J. Fulton ! of DeKalb county was the man ft. the State Supreme court. There is probably no man in Illinois today who is better fitted by education, temperament, experience ami learning to hold that high post te which he has been nominated. For nineteen years he has presided as a circuit judge in the sixteenth circuit comprised of DeKalb, Kane, DuPage and Kendall counties. During the last ten of these years, he has sat on the Appellate Court bench as well. . His record, both as a lawyer and on the bench, is one in which his fellow citizens in the sixteenth district can take the greatest pride. His fairness, honesty, fearlessness and conscientiousness as a judge these past nineteen year have won the admiration of all, whether it was the prosecution or the defense, regardless of party lines. Justice has be4n meted out with impartiality. Judge Fulton's knowledge of the law is so well founded thai few of the many hundreds of cases he has heard in the past nineteen years have etjer been reversed by the Supreme court. Healthy and energetic, he carried Oti the work of two judges for three years when a vacancy occurred in his circuit. On June 1 we can put him in the Illinois Supreme court, if you will come out and vote. vfllnlVfli MR A moon that is between half moon and full is known as a "gibbous" moon. w /•" K.

Payment Rates Are Annouced by Bridges Rates on which payments for cooperation in the 1942 AAA farm program will be based have been announced by Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry county AAA committee. Corn farmers who stay within corn allotment this year will earn a payment of 5.5 cents per bushel crop al lotment payment and will be eligible to earn a payment of 11.1 cents per bushel parity payment. The wheat rates will be 9.9 cents crop allotment payment and 13.5 cents parity payment. Farmers who raise potatoes can earn the payment of 1.8 cents per bushel for staying within potato alk> t*rt>nts. Ail payments are made on the basis of the normal production of the allotted acreage for the farm. Principal purposes of AAA payments in 1942 are to encourage continued adjustments of production in line with national needs and to insure grain farmers of parity prices on their crops. With payments made to bring grain prices up to parity, no hardship will be worked on livestocK feeders or consumers. The payments will be made .from an appropriation now being authorized by Congress, to help farmers use land, labor and equipment as efficiently as possible to raise required supplies of farm products. * •> Stack With It "Look here," said the captain to the newly appointed sergeant, "there are men coming into camp night after night after 'Lights Out' has been sounded.

They lire 30-calibre shells a minutf. i vt y one of the 40,000,000 employed persons in America could easily buy one of these rifles for the army.
