The weather was ideal and resort owners like Mrs. Pink Harrison remarked that they didn't care if it rained for a week -- starting Tuesday, of course. We noted crowds keeping our Store clerks hopping to take care of the rush. That's good. There are restful days coming between seasons. Twras a 'big summer in Mc- Henry but too blamed hot for comfort. If we kick about the cold next winter, please offer us no sympathy. Hanging around the house over the holiday weekend, we had a chance to observe the medicine cabinet. Now, how in the world did our parents and grandparents ever get along without all these bottles and tubes from the drug store. Let's look at the few little items for the men folks in the family. We wouldn't understand the other items too well. Start with the skull. Plenty of needs there. T^iere is hair tonic that contains alcohol and oil. That's recommended highly -- In the ad. . But here's „ another that contains no alcohol and no grease. Your hair will look perfectly groomed all day and. leave no grease spots on the pillow case at night. That's what it says on the bottle. ' Now, here's a bottle that will do everything for tired eyes after a hard day and put a certain gleam in them for a night, out Can't beat that. In case you ever had sinus trouble, you know that many remedies are necessary to restore you to proper breathing and rid yourself of those nagging headaches. Hie drug store had 'em and we got 'em. JpCem -- We have just started RQfl have already decided that Wjfr must be a terrible physical wieck. both major and minor league teamjs. FORESTER GOLF TOURNEY-- On Sunday, Sept. 18, the local Foresters will enjoy their 9th Annual Golf Tourney. Tee time is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the McHenry Country club. Get your reservations in to Fred Meyers or Harold Michels. The faddes are invited to a dinner in the evening. And be sure to wear your most comfortable dancing slippers. OLD TIMERS AT JOHNSBURG-- The urge to come (back for one more swat at the ball has hit the- Old Timers, former Tiger baseball men. so next Sunday at 1:30 p.m. the old boys will be back in uniform on the Johnsburg diamond. Those fellows may surprise you with some good baseball in addition to some clowning. COUNTY LEAGUE-- Pox Lake forfeited to Johnsburg. last Sunday so the Tigers are now waiting for McHenry and Crystal Lake to battle it out next Sunday. The winner of the game in McHenry next Sunday will meet the Tigers in a 2-out-of-3 game series for the championship. SPEEDETTES-- Those rollicking Speedette girls are showing good heart in playing a benefit game for the flood sufferers. We do not know who the opposition will be, but you can be sure of a good contest. Meet you at the VFW diamond Saturday night. Game time is 7:30. SHAMROCKS WW 6 TO 3 6AME TO EVEN PLAY-OFFS Crystal Lake Will Play Final Game Here Next Sunday The McHenry shamrocks went down to Crystal Lake last Sunday and won a 6 to 3 ball game over the Merchants to even up the play-off series. Now comes the big game next Sunday on the McHenry diamond to decide which team will play Johnsburg for the league championship. The Shamrocks had only 6 hits off Roewer, but got them at the right times to do the damage. Six bases on balls and a hit batsman helped to put McHenry runners in scoring position. Miller allowed 11 hits, but walked only one batter. He fanned 3 batters, but used 2 of those. strikeouts for third' outs when troubled loomed. Watch 'em next Sunday! Thursday, September, 8/1955 HERE AND THERE WITH GOLF * By Jimmy Kopec THE GREAT OUTDOORS By Jack Walsh A couple of different kinds of }. tooth paste tell us that cavities arj| a thing of the past. Another tells us to open our mouth wide and smile. Ah -- the charm of i thtae pearly teeth after using one full tube. Maybe it didn't claim just that, but somehow we ; gained that impression. I And this particular bottle of i. mouth wash will kefep the breath sweet all day. You can smoke all day, take a couple of shots of joy water -- then use the mouth •wash and safely kiss your wife without having her guess. (Li- , (kell you can!) Now what are all these sweetsmelling concoctions ? Must have been birthday or Christmas presents. Anyhow, they are sure to make your skin as smooth as silk after shaving. Whoops! We couldn't get a good shave with the electric shaver those humid days so a little trip to the drug store and the problem was solved. Smear a few drops of this preparation over the face, plug in the shaver and away we go. We have had some favorable reports from squirrel hunters since last week, but nothing about dove shooting. Don Powers and I went out Saturday morning and just as we were about to cross a fence leading into the woods we saw something red moving around .about a hundred and thirty yards away. It was a fox. Don shot and the fox flipped. We walked up to where we thought it was, but it surprised us. It jumped up behind Don and ran toward a big brush-filled hole. We finished it off and later that morning collected the five dollar bounty from the County Clerk. Denny Justen hooked a 17- pound northern up at Pistakee Bay last week. It seems Dave Scarbrough, who was with him at the time, had quite a time trying to net the fish, but finally landed it. We think Denny is the only one who can tell you what happened after that. Be sure not to forget to send in your applications for hunting on the state hunting grounds. We hear they will not accept any names after Sept. 25. On an all night camp-out Monday night with a couple of pals, we saw what we thought was a falling star or missile. It was green with a reddish-blue tail, heading in a northwesterly direction. Of course we did not know what it was. It was the meteorite written about in the newspapers on Tuesday morning. Just look at all those necessities. and we haven't gone below the;'neck line. The Indians had one in fevery tribe, but this generation has developed a flocflc of medicine men. If your are on the acid side, just go to your medicine cabinet. The drug stores must have sold you a few remedies. If you aren't on the acid side, you are living too sane a life and better do something about it. Shamrocks (6) AB R H G. Molidor, 3B 3 1 0 C.

In this way, the freshmen agriculture boys and their fathers had an opportunity to meet the other F.F.A. members. Father-son teams were signed to play in a horseshoe tournament. Three courts were kept busy by fourteen teams--George Thompson and son, Bob, Dave Buck and Dave, Walter Zimmerman and Mark, Clarence Young and Dave, Wilfred Blake and Wilfred, Clayton Bruce and Wesley, Art Stilling and Larry, Jim Ambrose and Guy, George Haack and Ed, Hugh Kirk and Jim, Mike Schaefer and Ted, Leo King and Harold, Harold Morris and Walter, and Dick Wissell, F.F.A. president, and William Pictor, adviser. First round winners were the Bucks, Youngs, Braces, Haacks, Schaefers and Wissell and Pictor. In the finals were Mike and Ted Schaefer, champions for the last two years, and the team of Wissell and Pictor. A prize of a case of soda was donated this year to the champs and it was only fitting that it should go to Mike and Ted Schaefer to reward their three-year winning streak. Next came a softball game between the dads and the sons. Two years ago the dads won. last year the sons won so this game was important. With about fifteen on each team so that everyone could participate, it looked like a cinch for the pitchers but the batting eye and power of the dads was too much. They swamped the boys 23 to 6. Next came the pie, ice cream and soda so the boys came back strong and everyone went home happy. Real golfing weather was . responsible for the large crowds at our local golf courses and at the same time, a great final for those who put their golfing paraphernalia away for the year. What puzfeles this reporter is why we have less and less golfing attendance as each week passes after Labor Day, when September and October are considered the best months for golf. At McHenry Country Club Sunday, the men's four-ball tournament got under way. Full handicaps prevailed and after the first round was completed, Ray Hughes and George Kinsala, who are partners, posted a 61. Also with a 61 are Ed Gac and Bob Bielman. Hank Tonyan and Don Bollman had, themselves a 63, followed toy the Harry Hans- Frank Rourke combination finishing with 64s, as did Dick Hester and George Johnson, Jr. George, by the way, had a handicapped ace or hole-in-one on the 485-yard par 5 fifteenth hole. George belted his drive and hit his iron second to the green which dropped in for a double eagle, so, with a stroke on the hole, the team took a hole in one. Tuesday of tnis week, the McHenry ladies' day winners for the Blind Partners event were Kathleen Neary and Dorothy (Toots) Miller the first place winners. Second place went to Carmen Antonson and Mildred Jackson, and third place was won by Marion Donnelly and Mike Jensen. Next week Tuesday the feature of the day will be low putts. Sunday winners of the Blind jBogey event for the men resulted in a four-way jam with Earle Seepe, Emil Simon, Nick Freund and Bill Meath all winning a shirt from the pro shop. In the Junior classes at McHenry for the girls, Cynthia Rourke won the first place trophy, followed by Helen Mullinaro. Third place went to Anita Beckenbaugh and fourth place laurels went to Gloria McElmeel. Karen Kralowetz accepted fifth place. In the boys' class, Johnnie Rourke took home the trophy so' he could put his alongside, the one his sister placed on the fireplace mantle. Second place went to Rex Hester and third to Curt Kadisak. Jim Efesfer took" fourl with Chips Chillini taking fifth place.

Presented to the Museum by the Chicago Metropolitan Industry Oil Information committee, the exhibit will become a part of the "story of oil" permanent exhibit in the Museum. In the new exhibit, which measures 12 feet high by 24 feet long, the various branches of the oil industry are represented by moving cogs, each of which in turn activates a large "industry" wheel showing applications of petroleum products in home, industry, transportation, defense and agriculture. A rer carded narration, with sound effects and musical background tells a 27-minute story of how oil keeps the wheels of industry turning and what would happen "if oil vanished." Another part of the display consists of a petroleum "tree" with the roote and stem represented by crude oil and the various branches showing the many by-products from asphalt to medicinal* that are derived from petroleum refining operations. WHEELER McMILLEN 1910, is being honored for his important contribution to the agricultural economy of the United States. The Saturday , program will open in the armory at Delavan, HI. Later that diay, a marker will be dedicated two miles northeast of the city. The marker -- a 3Va ton boulder -- bears a bronze plaque furnished by the Michigan State College Corn Foundation with an inscription honoring Reid. . Wheeler McMillen, vice president of Farm Journal, will speak at the dedication, and Governor William G. Stratton will address a special recognition luncheon. Stillman J. Stanard, Illinois director of agriculture, and many other farm leaders will attend. The development of Reid's Yellow Dent corn began in 1846, when Reid's father, Robert Reid, accidentally crossed two varieties. One was "Gordon Hopkins," brought from Ohio, and the other was "Little Yellow," a variety • grown in the Delavan area. Before. James Reid was out of his 'teens, he decided that the superior strain of corn his father had accidentally produced could be improved to a point far beyond Robert Reid's dreams. In 1867 James began farming for himself. Ten years later he corn yielding 125 bushels an acre without fertilizer Or any special practices. He used no fancy methods in selecting his seed corn. He picked the ears in the field on the basis of two factors, vigor and percent of corn to ear. He used only about 5 percent of the corn Lend Uncle Sam Your Dollars SATURDAY MATINEE 1:30 to 4 PJ4.

Because there are so many, almost everyone who owns a deck of cards plays some version of the game usually according to rules that have ^ been passed w "Nw along by t jT--™ word of mouth. Why i s Solitaire so p o p u l a r ? One psychia t r i s t e x plains that p l a y i n g Solitaire is an engrossing test of self - discipline but a w o n d e r f u l release from everyday tensions. He claims that since it occupies your hands.as well as your mind it has done many insomniacs more good than sleeping pills or counting sheep. (Perhaps this is why Solitaire is traditionally a game for invalids, travelers and shut-ins--people with time on their hands. It was reported during the war that General Jonathan Wainwright found Solitaire his only recreation during the long years he spent in Japanese prison camps. Another famous general, Napoleon, played Solitaire interminably during his long exile at St Helena. The game, in fact, is supposed to have been invented by a French political prisoner in the Bastille around 1650. But everyday card players, merely searching for relaxation, have found that a challenging game of Solitaire is a fine way to distract the mind from current discomforts, difficulties and boredom. Even devotees of Bridge, Poker, and Cribbage and other games designed for more than one person have devised ways to play their game single-handed when they lack company. One of the best of these diversions is Poker Solitaire. Poker Solitaire ranks high because it puts more emphasis on thought and calculation than on sheer luck. To play the game, you shuffle a pack of cards and deal out face upward a perfect square of twenty-five cards-- so that there are five poker hands vertically and five horizontally. You can rearrange the cards as much as you desire but you cannot add any more. Object of the game is to arrange the cards so that the most valuable Poker combinations are made in rows-- across, and up and down. Diagonal rows do not count. After the square is completed the player counts up his total score. Each Poker combination has its own point value. The following scoring table is suggested : one pair--2 points; two pairs --5 points; three of a kind--10 points; straight--IS points; flush--20 points; full house--25 points; four of a kind-- 50 points; straight flush--75 points; royal flush--100 points. Poker Solitaire is taken from a unique, 32-page booklet, "It's All in the Cards," designed to help you get more fun out of a deck of cards. To get your free copy of this colorful, illustrated booklet, which is packed with a variety of information about cards and card games, send an old Ace of Spades to Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N. Y. from the highest yielding field for his market seed supply. Reid received his first recognition for corn breeding in 1891, when he earned top honors at the Illinois state fair corn show. Two years later two of his exhibits ran away with the highest honors at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. Reid's Yellow Dent corn was the leading variety of yellow corn in the United States for three-quarters of a century. However, Reid received little return other than honors for his work. If Reid weer living today, he would see the results of his seed selection and breeding program. His corn still contributes toward the development of our presentday hyfbrids. In fact, a good hybrid -- from a cross of ReidTs inbreds -- - is growing on the marker site today. Corn plots of Reid's Yellow Dent are growing on the adjoining farm.
