The McHenry County Historical society cooperates with other historical societies in exchanging picture post cards of scenes. building or sites not pertaining to the particular localities. The most recent ones came through courtesy of the DesPlaines Historical society and bear postmarks in the early 1900's. One with unreadable postmark is a line drawing of the "Proposed St. Mary's Cathedral, Woodstock"; one of St. Mary's at the laying of the cornerstone and bears date of •June 5, 1905. Another is of St. Mary's church in McHenry, Oct. 25, 1909. A view of the Oliver Typewriter company building showing the floral planting in front of the office with the word "Oliver" planted in yellow flowers, dated May, 1907. Information should be sent to the society, c-o Box 30, Woodstock. Through the courtesy of Margaret Kistler of Harvard, the society has been furnished with all back copies, since 1955, of Harvard Milk Day brochures. These are valuable because of the ads they carry as well as the program. In getting ready to move to the new courthouse, County Clerk, Vernon Kays found some i n t e r e s t i n g h i s t o r i c a l documents that he has turned over to the society as they are no longer necessary for his records. Among them was a Certificate for Bounty, issued by Andrew Nersh, town clerk of Burton, to Zell Colby, for seven old and three young wood- chucks, captured and killed within McHenry County. He was paid $2.50 as bounty. This was dated Aug. 25, 1902. McHenry county at one time had r»nv breeders of fine horses. H.w'.

Terms: Season, $15; Insurance, $20. Apparently "way back when" they were having questions regarding methods of assessing. A letter, captioned (Opinion 2) Auditor's office, Springfield, dated April 26,1873 (just short of 100 years ago) was addressed as follows: "E A Bradley, Esq., Aurora, 111., Dear Sir: In your letter of the 21st inst. you inquire: 'How do you understand the law with reference to the assessment of National Bank Stock, where the par value of the stock is $100 per share? Is the assessor to assess it at its par value, whether it is actually worth more or less than; tyiat is, if a share is only wortly$90 by the bodes, is he to assess it at par, that is, $K(P?'Sljares of capital stock of NatTtffial Banks should be assessed the same as other property in this state, at the fair cash value thereof (italics). If the par value of a share of stock be $100 and the market value thereof, $110.00 or $90.00 it should be assessed at its market value, above or below the par value, as the case may be. "The book value (italics) of a share of stock of a National bank, as I understand it, cannot be less but may be more than par; whereas the actual cash value of a share of stock, it would be appropriate for him to take into consideration the book value and volume Of business of the bandits dividends, etc., to enable him to arrive at a fair cash value of such share. "When the fair cash value of a share of stock is ascertained, a greater rate of tax cannot be assessed thereon, than is assessed on other moneyed capital, or other property, in , the same locality. Yours truly, C.E. Lippincott, Auditor Public Accounts." Donations are beginning to arrive for the building fund for the future museum.

ARIES Mar. 21 - Apr./19 TAURUS Apr. 20 -/May 20 GEMINI 21 - June 20 On hot summer evenings even the best cooks can lose their enthusiasm for fixing family suppers. At such times an easy-to- make main dish salad may be the perfect choice. The Summer Salad Bowl pictured above is an appetizing combination of to­ matoes, crisp greens, butter-flavored mushrooms, julienne of canned luncheon meat accented with packaged herb seasoned croutons and tossed with a tangy lemon and oil dressing. As a variation add Swiss cheese strips or hard-cooked egg slices. To accompany Summer Salad serve seeded rye bread, thinly sliced and buttered. Easy does it!

None­ theless, it seems aMJjough you" have problems with your routine task In all probability, you'll be put to an emotional test. Jealousy and superficial friendliness seems to cast a shadow over your chart. Incidentally, someone is studying your actions. Changes that you have long had in mind are beginning to surface. The point? It seems as though you'll rechannel a member of the oppo­ site sex's thinking. According to stellar patterns, it's advisable that you do not become too ambitious. It seems as though you'll be taking every wrong direction, during this cycle. Many members of your sign are entering a phase when their thoughts are in the shade. So, stay in bounds! You're not a student of the theory that you should bear a heavier load than the next person. Nevertheless, you will face increased respon­ sibilities. Don't attempt coercive tactics, particularly with a member of the opposite sex. According to stellar patterns, your motives are easily read. A reunion of sorts is indicated for many under your sign. Other Sagittarians must guard against a chronic problem that might flair up. Stand by! More than likely, you'll be asked to help a friend or associate. Try to keep a loose schedule - a demand for your time and effort will come from an unexpected source. Grooming is in order, during the present cosmic cycle. It seems as though a good impression will be of importance, in the general scheme of things. Provocations and distractions seem to fan throughout your chart. Try to overlook the actions of an associate; avoid taking sides in a smoldering feud. Place greens in large salad bowl. Add croutons, mushrooms, tomato wedges and luncheon meat strips. For dressing, place vegetable oil, bottled lemon juice, cup of the reserved butter broth, garlic and Italian seasoning in a jar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover jar and shake well. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad; toss lightly. Serve immediately in chilled salad bowls.
