Bell-Rlager of Jangle The campanero, or bell-ringer, is a pretty white bird that lives in the jungle, and is about the size of the blue jay. Its head is festooned with a black tubercle on the upper side of the long black bill, a club-shaped feather which the Indians say stands erect when it utters its songof- the-beli. The bird's call sounds as if someone were striking a bell of the most melodious tone. Bead the Want Ads. Christmas program at MeHeary high school. This Is a worthwhile event Don't forget to go.

Honey Bee Important Agent In Polliniging Farm Acres Emphasizing the importance of honey bees in pollinizlng agricultural crops, M. H. Haydak, associate professor of entomology at the University cf Minnesota, called bees the "wings of agriculture."

A strong colony during' keep, were guests of the League and a year rears about 200,000 bees and so requires two million loads of pollen. Locating the apiary close to the field to be pollinated plays a very important part in making services of bees more effective, as does the number of bees per surface area. The more bees pier field, the larger the crop that can be expected. Caution In Using 2,4-D In fighting weeds in lawns there may come a time when most of the turf is free of them and only a few individual dandelions or plantains are to be found here and there, and small patches of the low persistent pennywort and chickweed. When 2,4-D is used as a spray it is likely to kill or damage the clover, which is often desirable in the mixture, and it may drift" to other sensitive plants. To use, 2,4-D effectively on small patches of the spreading weeds, says L. W. Kephart, weed specialist of the U. S. department of agriculture. a paint brush is a practical applicator that will not spread the herbicide beyond the spot to be treated. Unless the brush is reserved for this use (and not used for sprinkling other broadleaf plants about the place with insecticides and fungicides), it should be thoroughly washed out with soap and warm water and left to stand overnight^ in a quart of water to which a teaspoonftil of ammonia has been added. answered questions presented to them by Mrs. Betty Selsdorf and Mrs. Vanesse Sells. Mrs. Dorothy McEaehren called the meeting to order and then turned it over to Mrs. Olive ^allman who was in charge of the program. Mrs. Velma Sinclair reported on a tea given recently by the League and thanked those who assisted in making the tea both a financial and social success. Mrs. A. Van Alphen was a visitor at the meeting. At the end of the panel, questions were answered from those present. CooHnf Milk and Cream Mixing warm cream with already cooled cream is never a wise practice. for the temperature of the cooled cream is raised by the mixture. Cream should be cooled before mixing it with other cream previously cooled. Water is much more effective in cooling milk and cream than is air; consequently, placing milk or cream in a fairly cool place--such as a cellar--does not remove the animal heat rapidly enough. Bacteria begin to multiply rapidly in warm cream or milk. The sooner cooling can be started, the better Is the product Winter Kill of River Fish Hundreds of thousands of fish died of winter kill in the upper Mississippi river between Dubuque. Towa. and Prescott. Wisconsin, during the past winter, according to reports summarized by the biologists of the Upper Mississippi River Fish survey. The length and severity of the past winter were important factors in producinsr the kill which was, in the opinior. o biologists, greater than normal. For a long period the ice was covered with snow, causing deficicncy in air content in the water and the fish died by suffocation. Most of the fish were killed in back-water areas and included crappie at.d other panfish as well as rough fish species. Another Function of Rockets At the end of World War I the airplane was in just about the same stage of development as the rocket is today at the end of World War II. But the rocket has brought more knowledge about the earth's upner atmosphere in the past year and a half than had been acquired in the previous 20 years. High School Oave Mid-Winter Concert The MoHenry high sehool choruses gave their mid winter choral concert on Sunday evening in the high school auditorium.

Jayne Cristy is secretary of the mixed chorus, and Sally Samle is one of the assistant choral leaders. Paul Marke Jr. is a member of the first all-male chorus the school has had for many years.
