The McHenry fire department was called to the N. E.

Mrs. Castor Adams died suddenly at her home in Johnsburg at the age of 71 years. The New Year was ushered in in this city with the usual ceje- = bratiqn. Many parties were held in halls and several in private homes. A merry party of friends gathered at yjfehall to watch the old year dtit. At K. of C. hall REVOKE LICENSES Secretary of State Charles F.

The Taxpayers" Federation of Illinois has recently suggested a modernized version of the old nursery rhyme in which a taxipayer asks the black sheep, "Have you any wool? To which the sheep replies "no sir, no sir, but the Commodity Credit corporation has a lot of it. According to recent figures of the Tax foundation, the CCC had 38 million ' pouhds of it--black, white and grey--collected under the price support program. And not only wool do they have but also, among other things, butter, cheese, dried milk, dried edible beans, corn and wheat, all stashed a\vay in tents, bins and in some cases floating ships--paid for with tax dollars. It's pretty hard to envision vast stores which account for lossed estimated at $1.2 billion for lest than a period of a year. To clear up the situation, someone^ with more time and considerably more mathematical ability than our own divided up some of the surplus stables among the 43% million American families and came up with the following: One lb. butj ter, 4% lbs. cheese, 4% ifls. dried I milk, 5% lbs. dried beans; 19% .bushels corn, 10% bushels wheat I and 1 lb. wool. I At the same time, Federation1 figures show that while $35 million in loans was being issued in a three-year period, much of it to I encourage building poultry houses, j another agency was spending i about a million dollars a month to j buy up surplus eggs. This is one of those jokes that's bound to get a laugh every time-- except from the fellow who's helping to pay the bill. It is encouraging to note that it isn't only the human body that experiences trouble from time to time. You aren't even completely safe stuffed. When officials arrived at the Chicago Museum of Science and were informed a cow was smoking, they said "impossible". They changed their mind, however, when they sa\V one of the usually docile bossies yj a farm exhibit actually puffing smoke from her nostrils and ears like a true fugitive from a Ferdinand the Bull comedy.
