Northerns are biting,in the Chain ^cb'Lakes. Very few were caught this summer so there ought to be some pretty good fishing this fall. The McHenry Sportsman's Club had their big picnic last Sunday. Man, what a feast! Approximately 50 pounds of steak was broiled on a big, bed of charcoal by Walter Franke of Chicago. He 1 volunteers his services every year and he really knows his business.

FARM TREND DOWN The downward trend in the number of farms in Illinois which began twenty years or more ago is still continuing, according to returns reported by the 1954 U.S. census of agriculture in the Prairie state. A trend toward larger farms is also in evidence. Illinois had 195,268 farms in 1950, but only 175,543 in 1954. During this four-year period the average size of farms increased from 159 to 173 acres. The value of the average farm went from $28,279 up to $40,883. About 85 percent of the 35,798,400 acres classified as farming area in Illinois was in farms in 1954. More than 96 percent of the farms in Illinois have electricity and 74 per cent have telephones, the census bureau reported. PLAYTIME MEANS PAYTIME, REPORTS TAXPAYER SECRETARY The more we play, the more we pay --- even in taxes, according, to Maurice W. Scott, acting executive secretary of the Taxpayes' Federation of Illinois. Scott cites the Tax Outlook of August, 1956, which reports that annual vacations taken in 1955 cost $10 billion, as Iganist $5.4 billion spent in 1947. In fiscal 1955, the federal excise tax on gasoline (at 2c a gallon) brought the federal government $953 million as against $434 tnilliin in fiscal 1647. Taxes in 1955 on public conveyances -- trains, buses and planes -- brought the government $197 miUioh on transportation of persons as compared with $244° million in fiscal 1947 (the tax was reduced from 15 per cent to 10 per cent in early 1954.) Luggage, another travel item, produced $50.9 million f from the retail excise tax in fiscal 1955. This amount was less than the $84.6 million garnered in 1947, but here again the tax was redured in the interim from 20 to 10 percent. Another "time free from work activity"--fishing--did its share for the economic picture. In 1955, $18 million was spent for fishing \icenses in addition to the $5.3 million brought in by the federal excise tax on fishing rods, creels, and other like equipment. Club dues, excise taxes on phonograph records, musical ini struments, radio-TV sets, movies, theatres and" concerts brought in their share in taxes. In 1954, $136 million was taken in on the manufacturer's excise tax on radio sets, television sets, phonographs, etc., while in 1950, $42 million was derived from the same source. "With vacation time almost over for most people, maybe this is the best time to think about play-time also being pay-time, even 'in taxes," Scott concluded. LOCAL DOGS SHOW II CLASS IN WING AND FC.1.
