With 1 a day shift from 8:30 to 5:30 and 1 a night shift from 8 to 11. and an j acre of fruit trees, brambles, yard, \ grape arbor and garden ready for | spring, what would you be doing ! »t 7:30 A. M.? Joseph Bigger, east of McHenry. moved to Hamlet, Ind. Says he would rather be in Illinois and will move back to McHenry county as soon as an apportunity presents itself. Harold Jepson of Dundee remembers when the old county fair was still held at Woodstock. He says they used to come down in the car from Ringwood, bringing their dinner in a basket. He used to have to turn the ice cream freezer early in the morning so it could be brought along. They would meet his uncle's family, from Volo there and the men: would look over the machinery while the younger kids, including Harold's sister, would take their afternoon nap in the car. I recently visited the Robert Baird orchard just south of the am, south of McHenry. It's bout a thing of the past. Evergreen trees of some species will probably soon dot the Steep southeast slope. The Agricultural Economics Department of the College of Agriculture has 1948 figures available on production standards taken from the Illinois Crop Reporting Service and Farm Bureau Farm Managements Service figures on co-operating farmers in our county. How did you do or do you know for sure? They say dairy herds of eleven cows or more average $395 dairy j sales per cow, egg sales per hen ' $5.05, and 6.3 pigs weaned per | litter. They say corn yielded an j average of 50 bushel and oats 55 i bushel. j Average labor costs on dairy farms from 180 to 259 acres in i size averaged $3,824 as compared | to $3,220 for hog farms, 43,211 for ' beef farms, and $2,786 for grain ! farms of that size. Power ma- i chinery costs on the same sized dairy farms were $3,273, hog farms $2,970, beef farms $3,291. j and grain farms $2,706. rS TOWN'S wealthiest man, and Its most stingy, had Just be<n rescued from the water of s lake where he had been fishing from a boat. His rescuer was the leading doctor of the town. After the long, hard work of resuscitation by the doctor and the first sid treatments, the miser pulled out s dollar and handed it to the doctor, saying: "Well, doctor, I'm much obliged to you for savin' my life Just now. Here's a dollar ... all I have got on me." The doctor handed it back, saying: "Oh, keep your money!" "Not at all! Not'at all!" said the miser. "It would have been lost anyway if ye hadn't saved me!" I^rrants were ocitfnaQjr raisins at Corauntz." Brick Tea Mewqr Brick tea made from the ialalw leaves of the tea-plant, mixed with sheep's blood, dried and pressed into cubes, were made in Central Asia and Mongolia for medium of exchange in Russia in early days. NO CONTEST Where Ow M< While the lion's snare at the Ml billion dollars spent by Americans last year went for food, shelter and clothing, some of the incidentals bulked pretty large. We spent SJB billions for personal care (hair cute, permanent waves, etc.), Just slightly less than our total expenditure on medical and dental care. We spent 1.8 billions on houshold help; approximately 300 million more than we spent for books and magazines. We spent 400 million for stationery and writing supplies and the same amount to ride in taxicabs. tS*SHB A* Mftt BACK Despite a hair-raising 90-mile and honr chase and three shots fired at the Seeing car, Marvin Swance, young Harvard police ofTicer, was unable last week to capture the car containing four |men that fired one shot at him at close range and narrowly missed j him. Swance was making his regular cruise when he came upon ja parked car. It was a 1946 twoi tone green Pontiac with no license • plates. The Harvard Produce and 1 Feed has been robbed previously ' and since then officers have kept ia close watch on the surround- I lugs. The chase began on Ratzlaff ; street near the Harvard Produce I and Feed * Company and ended j north of. Harvard on a gravel road.

Corn cobs are worth half of their weight in shelled corn for fattening steers to the choice grade. m WNNF BAVI The state aaditor last week leaned a M-year charter to the First State Bank of Round Lake, Lake county.

I Melasses For Steers Steer-faltening tests by the LoaMsna State university experiment station showed that molssses has an average feeding value of around 85 per cent that of corn when fed at the rate of four to eight pounds a day--about one-third to twothirds of a gallon--along with cottonseed meal and other concentrates. Other experiments at the station showed that molasses could profitably be fed to work mules at the rate of two to three quarts daily and in these amounts was almost equal to corn. Paternal Regime At file parting of the ways one cyclist turned into a side street snd twisted round to wave a gay goodbye to his companions. But he didn't know that during the day a temporary reservoir for fire-fighting had been erected there. His front wheel struck it, and over he went head first into the water. As his head emerged above the surface he was not downhearted. "What a Government!" he remarked with a grin. "Free gasmasks, tree shelters, and now free baths!" Loaded down with bundles, tig* little man anxiously looked about him in the crowded department store. A floorwalker approached him and asked, "Are you looking for something in men's wearing apparel sir?" "No, something in women's apparel," tame the answer. "I can't find my wife." BE INDEPENDENT!
