She is f r i e n d l y w h e n obedience is given and unmercifully cruel when it is withheld. Her fixed processes accept no foolish interference. The thunder clap proves her abhorence of a vacuum. . In short, nature works on schedule so mathematically exact that astronomers can foretell an eclipse many years in Advance. Rhythmic order is written in large letters across the universe. The muaic of the spheres is that of scheduled harmony. V This sam# principle of "being on 'schedule" has dominated our industrial life for many years. Readers of this article may recall their visit to an automobile factory where workers are literally converted into htiman machines. Each worker is assigned a piece of work which , he does with definite precision on exact, scheduled time. The element of monotony incident to such labor often plays havoc with the psychic centers. To stand for eight hours driving home a rivet, or turning a certain screw, or attaching the iame part to each machine as it passes along a trolley line is de*. structive not only of personal initiative but also of quickening interest in the work itself. Anything done "over and over again" deadihs the first sharp challenge of a task. Being on schedule has increased the production of factories and developed manrfacturing efficiency. But what ef the human element Which is so vital to the industrial process? The five-day week with its added leisure still presents the problem of Using the time wisely. If the leisure "time is used in exactly the same way every week, the individual is Certainly still "on schedule." And •fhe plea is: "Get off schedule." Schedule dominates our personal, •ocial and intellectual life. Many persons not only budget their income-- a praiseworthy act--but they budget their time and all other voluntary expressions of freedom. The word "efficiency" is very much Over-worked, for much of it is mechanical efficiency. Why should we iat breakfast at seven, lunch at twelve, dinner at six for twelve 'months each year? Why not go without breakfast once in awhile? "Why not get up at six without the {artificial awakening that often awakens everyone else except the g»rson who set the alarm clock? ow efficient are we without the devices of schedule? In leisure hours need to find ourselves: we need Quit doing the same things and Srobe within for new impetus, new leas, new methods, a new mind. .Schedule is the beaten path: we ieed the mountain pass, the forgotten road, the winding way that pleads to our unknown selves. For Within a man there is a power house *f spirit that cries aloud for permanent expression. Within a man v'j'Ib the personality that cannot be Evaluated in chemical terms. Are , you original? How do you know, if you have never got off schedule long .. enough to try yourself? Are you •tared of doing things in the same Old way? Are you weary of standjardized living and thinking? Then, fet off schedule. Have you a Self? «t us see! © Western Newspaper Union. * Wm. M. Carroll, Attorney. Woodstock, Illinois EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Estate of Mattie E. Smith, Deceased .

BoUford. Cornell Agricultural Extension Division.--WNU Service. Price-fixing may be a moot point in some lines, but to the farmyard hen it comes easy. She helps to fix prices of eggs without giving the matter a second thought. Depending on the particular breeding hen used, a difference of several cents a dozen may be received for eggs. Size and shape of eggs are important market characters, but each must be bred for separately, as size is not related to the Shape of an egg. / A 24 to 27-ounce egg is a moneymaker, and pullet flocks should be laying more than 50 per cent eggs of this weight after three months. Color of the shell Is also listed -as possessing a money value as market men frown on tinted shells that are supposed to be white. Some markets prefer brown-shelled eggs. All in all, it is largely a question of quality. We have not learned how to improve the quality of an egg once it is laid. The only way, therefore, to ship fine quality eggs to market is to have birds capable of producing thefee eggs, and then to handle the eggs properly to retain this quality. Since certain hens have'the natural ability to produce *high quality eggs while other hens lay eggs of poorer inside quality, the pedigree breeder of the future may need to know not only the number of eggs and the outside quality, but also the inside quality of the e£gs produced. The poultry man has to have a flock that lays the right kind of eggs, for the breeding hen is a pricefixer. • lUa» Mare* Tskaa fileo of ft»FlnIn«sal*' a t Yean Asa Cows Cover Many Acres ^ on the Average Pasture Three to three and one-half acres of good pasture will furnish plenty Of forage for a cow or seven mature sheep through the pasture season, but a dairy cow has to harvest the grass from a sixth of an acre a day on the average pasture, according to D. R. Dodd, extension agronomist, Ohio State university. As cows are not trained to cut clean swaths, the animal really will travel over many acres each day. . The average pasture yields only three tons of green grass per acre each year, and a cow which produces 25 to 35 pounds of milk a day needs 250 pounds of grass each day to supply the needed total digestible nutrients to maintain her body weight and milk production. Even if the cow travels fast enough to get sufficient forage, the 250 pounds of grass would lade needed protein and minerals. The university agronomist 'is not just calling attention to a hopeless situation. He maintains that a system of pasture improvement through the use of lime, fertilizer, and good grass mixtures will correct the present deficiencies of pasture on adapted soil. He also says that good pastures produce milk and meat at a low cost. TWENTY TSARS AGO Our streets were repaired with fine crushed stone this week, an improvement that was sadly needed and one which is appreciated by the general public. Local cigar manufacturers and retail dealers in cigars and tobacoo have received blanks for the purpose of taking inventory of stock on hand on which the new war tax will apply. Ben Brefeld has gone to Rockford where he has secured employment at 'Camp Grant. McHenry is keeping right up to the minute on all things. We now have an income tax committee. ' V THIRTY YEARS AGO i ; BOGUS OOLLBCTOftS FACE FR06BCUTI0N The butter market on the Elgin board of trade Monday was at 80 cents firm. Chas. Givens and family have vacated the rooms in Mrs. Holly's building and moved into the Stebbins house, which he recently purchased. The recovering of the concrete walks about town has been the source of a great deal of dissatisfaction among many of our housewives. Just a few ruined carpets, that's all. The early frosts have put a check to some of the corn and other produce in this vicinity. FORTY YEARS AGO ! Great Meteorite Diu Not Kill The great Siberian meteorite struck on June 30, 1908,'and, so far as known, not a single human life was lost. So great was the rush of air that forests were laid fiat. A herd of 1,500 reindeer was completely wiped out, and a farmer fifty miles away was knocked down by the force of the blast. The Dugout or "Root Cellar" The dugout or "root cellar" is both cheap and efficient, says A. G. Tolaas, horticulturist, University farm, St. Paul. If available, a side hill location is best because of better drainage and because the entrance can be made on the ground level. Such a-storage place should be dug about 8 feet deep and as wide and iong as desired; a cellar 20 by 40 feet will store 4,000 bushels without piling too deep. When the side hill excavation has been made, rough timber or poles can be set endways around two sides and the rear end on a concrete footing about a foot wide by 18 inches. Poles can also be used, for the roof, laid close enough to ptermit covering the entire room with a layer of straw. Dirt from the cellar can be used for banking and covering the roof. Hon. F. K? Granger has purchased the Phelan place, consisting of twentysix acres, situated on the river road about two miles southeast of this village. • • ! Simon Stoffel is certainly showing himself a friend to home industry as he employs only home people in the erection of his large new store, and is purchasing all such materials as can be had here of home dealers. Mrs. M. E. Ray burn, of Chicago, who is organizing a Court of the Women's Catholic Order of Foresters, in connection with St. Patrick's church, in this village, met with good success last Sunday and now has twenty-two names on the list. A system of water works for this village is now a fixed fact, and the preliminary work has actually begun. FIFTY YEARS AGO McHenry Post, No. 64S, G. A.

At a regular meeting of the Village Board oii Monday evening, Geo. S. .Curtis was appointed Village Constable, has filed his bond and entered upon the duties of his office. Frank L. McOmber, who for the past few years has been engaged with John I. Story in this village, in his tin shop and hardware store, departed on Monday for Hartley, la., where he will occupy the same position with Mr. Story that he did here. SIXTY YEARS AGO lists Weed Damage Six ways in which weeds cause farmers to lose several million dollars each year have been listed by J. J. Pieper, chief in crop production at the college of agriculture at the University of Illinois. Reduction in crop yields, increase in expense of growing the crop, decline in quality of the product, reduction in the value of the land, poisoning of live stock and' ill effects on public health are the six points listed by Pieper. • Rev. W. A,' Ardon will fill the pill pit at the M. E. church in this village the coming year.

The Tasmanlan Tiger The Tasmanian "devil" or "ti ger," which looks like a wolf with stripes, has many odd characterise tics, and in its evolution from the early mammalian age has become carnivorous [AVE you ever taken mirror pictures; that is, for example, a picture of sister or the "gtrl friend" standing In front of a n*4rror perhaps "dolling up" a bit or maybe Just admiring herself? It is the Mnu"n*i that attracts attention but it is necessary to use .your eyes and a little imagination and ingenuity to ferret out the exceptional and get pictures that show individuality. When making mirror pictures*and t focusing for reflected images only, >lt is necessary to add the distance i from the mirror to the subject, to the • distance from the mirror to the lens Of the camera and then set the focus -accordingly. If it is desired to include the subject in the picture with the reflected ; linage the focus should be set for the •^distance from the mirror to the lens. The smaller the lens opening the greater the depth of field and the ; sharper will be both images. Of 'Course, the nearer the subject is to • the mirror the less is required in the • matter of "depth". . : Let us suppose that sister Mary ' is two feet and the camera six feet ' from the mirror. If you waut to include sister, as well as her reflected image, in the picture, set the focus at six feet. If you want only the reflected image in the picture, you set the focus at eight feet. A photoflash lamp simplifies your exposure prob- "lem and permits a small enough lens j Opening to gain a sufficient range of s Sharpness. -ft After locating your subject In the r finder and setting the focus of your } camera at the proper distance, set , the shutter for "time", place a v j photoflash bulb In an ordinary floor lamp within reaching distance from ' the camera, tilting the shade slightly • l upward and toward the subject. If • you cannot tilt the shade, remove it \ from the lamp. It is best not to have ' any bright lights burning near the j lens of the camera. Set your lens *! opening according to the table on i the photoflash lamp container. Take '•) your position at the Camera, press the cable release to open your shutter and Immediately turn on the photoflash and than quickly close the shutter--and the picture hai been taken. Simple, isn't It? For this : A section for unusual pictures will . brighten the pages of any album. type of picture a No. 10 photoflash bulb will furnish enough light. In amateur photography, expertmenting (becomes the spice of lite an£ you will be surprised at the Interesting effects you will get in working out "stunt" pictures on gloomy, rainy days when outdoor activities are taboo. Results, in some instances, may be rather grotesque but you will have a lot of Inexpensive amusement and pictures that show Individuality. Anyone can take the ordinary run of pictures but it requires a little ingenuity to get the unusual. That Is what you should "shoot" for, and the resulting pictures will be far more interesting than ordinary record pictures and breathe life itself into your photo* graph album.
