OAULKE, Owner--Phone 872 it* Proper Care Extends Service of Silk Umbrellas Some persons still have silk umbrellas, oiled or plain, and will be interested in their proper care to insure continued service. For a plain silk umbrelln. » soft cleaning cloth should ,beJ&sea,' and grease spots (from car or road) can be removed with any grease solvent. The same treatment is effective for some rayons; however, if the rayon is an acetate, a cleaning fluid containing acetone must not be used. Oiled silk or rayon umbrellas may be cleaned by sponging with a tlamp cloth, rinsing, and drying in the shade away from the heat. Use soap sparingly and never press. Because they stiffen and crack easily, oiled silk and oth&jr transparent umbrella materials must be handled carefuly in cold weather. Silk umbrellas dry out when not in use, ao if ^here's a dry spell for some time, you should take your umbrella out and wet it under the shower or sprinkler occasionally. All umbrellas should be thoroughly dry before being closed and put away. Thia is especially true of rayon ones because Tayon is weak when damp. Never roll up an umbrella and put tt in its case when it is wet. J. Thies reports that he caught a four-pound -j#! |n Burden's Lake last week. The fish was over two feet in length. Warning is given to tourists to drive slowly past the grade school on Waukegan , street as there is a large hole on the road in front of the W. D. Wentworth home a little west of the school building. There is no lantern to mark the place and it may prove dangerous to those who are ignorant 0i1f its existence. Farm Tell/ The 1943 accident toll on the nation's farms and ranches was 20,- 000 dead, 2,000,000 injured, and an estimated money loss of a hiilfon doUan. Eleetrie Fences Take no chances with homemade electric fence equipment. An electric fence energized or "kept hot" by means of a device that supplies a continuous current is highly dangerous to human and animal life. Safe, coifimercially made electric fence energi€ers provide an interrupted current that gives a sharp sting to the person or animal touchinjjLthe wire. Their reflexes immediately cause them to pull away involuntarily from the wire, unharmed. Electric fences of a safe type and properly installed have demonstrated their worth in efficient farm operation. To prevent needless tragedies or loss of valuable livestock that in time might cause laws curbing the use of electric fences to be enacted, it is imperative that farmers install " only equipment thjat is known to be safe.

Political Action The verb gerrymander, meaning to manipulate- in order to gain unfair advantage, resulted from the rearrangement of a district of north eastern Massachusetts in 1812, which was protested as a purely political action. Although Gov. Elbridge Gerry had no part in the change, the word resulted from his surname ^the salamanderlike shape of the rearranged area. Popular Beverage# As early as 1610 tea leaves were brought from Bantan to Holland and introduced to France and England a few years later. This cup which cheered, but did not intoxicate, had a wide appeal and by 1650 four millions of pounds were imported into England. Coffee was soon after almost as popular.
