f Jack Durand, foster--son of the Scott Durands of Lake Bluff, -- may be pardoned, now that he has served more than the mini-- j mum sentence for the robbery of the F. Edson White home years back. If he does win a pardon, he can thank Mrs. Durand for his good fortune, as that woman has never ceased working for his release. Perhaps the thought of how steadfastly she has : stuck by him will cause him to "go straight" hereafter. Che Lake County Register The time is not long past when "newfangled notions" were exceedingly distrusted on the farm. The "old way" was good enough for the fathers and what was good enough for the fathers was good enough for the sons when they succeeded to the management of the farm. It was not vanity nor obstinacy which caused good farmers to scoff at scientific methods in those True it is that some farmers still employ primitive. methods of agriculture and refuse or are unable to emancipate them-- selves from their slavery to the soil by adopting labor--saving devices. And it is just as truie that agriculturists as a class have been slow to adopt modern methods. ' s FARM LIFE IS DIFFERENT _ The farmer knows that life im the country has not always been the idyllic existence country--hungry city folks have pic-- tured it Only the "new farmer" can not remember the strug-- gle against nature and the days of sun--up to sun--down toil once the lot of the men and womer on the farm. The modern farm is as unlike its antecedents as the modern factory is unlike its two decades ago. 6 On the farm today are found the automobile, tractor, tele-- phone, electric lights and power, milking machines, harvesting and planting machinery performing several operations simul-- taneously, the radio, the household comforts and conveniences of the city home and. even leisure and recreation. The prodiga!l son wouldn't know the old farm i#f he returned today after an absence of two decades. days. The best of farmers sincerely believed they could get out of the soil only what the soil yielded of its own volition. The change on the farm has been nothing short of revo-- lutionary and the revolutionists have been the men and women who for generations had stubbornly resisted change and im-- peded progress. ; PAGE FOUR ---- THEY KNOW TOO MUCH This business of searching out facts and arranging them so as to develop theories and conclusions from them; this business of science, in other words, has been a great benefit to mankind. Sometimes it seems, however, that the scientist goes a little too far in his zeal to carry the torch of reason into hitherto unexplored areas. There is a realm of familiar ideas and phe-- nomena which, in the opinion of sotme persons, ought to be safeguarded against intrusions on the part of this relent-- There is, for instance, a vast body of childhood legerdemain of a therapeutic nature--intricately devised remedies for nose bleeding, toe stubbing, wart removing, and things of that nature which the scientist can never hope to approach with the respect to which such prescriptions are entitled in view of their ancient origin. These things do not harm, and they furnish infinite delight to the juvenile practitioner. If you have stubbed your tie, the pain is at once eased by rubbing the stubbed toe with a small lump of cobwebs gathered in a barn and wadded up conveniently for--the application. To stop nose--bleed you 'swing around your head a dead rat on a string securely tied to the tail of the deceased rodent. Of such is the delightful medical folklore of childhood. But what chance does this folklore stand against the patient but relentless inquiries of a scientist? 7 Another illustrious name has been added to the roll of those who have died in the cause of peace. Pt is that of Capt. Emilio Carranza, the flying ace of Mexico, who recently flew from Mexico City to Washington, D. C., for the purpose of returning the visit of Col. Lindbergh and cementing the relations between the two countries still more closely. As a skillful and cour-- ageous flyer, Capt. Carranza had few equals. Not only Mexico, but America as well, mourns the death of the intrepid pilot. Twelve drownings have been recorded this season in Lake county. Perhaps by the time these paragraphs go to press one or more other cases may be turned over to Coroner John L. Taylor. The season of 1925 was the worst in the history of the county, for 20 drownings were recorded. Since then the num-- ber of fatalities kept decreasing in 1926 and 1927, but this year it took a decided jump. The Lake county jail will have its own "murderers' row" now that six men charged with slaying are quartered within its walls. It's enough to make the most courageous warder a bit nervous as he goes about his duties. ' EDITORIALLY SPEAKING 5 A splendid piece of detective work has been accomplished by the men who were detailed to seek the slayers of William Beck, who was killed at Milburn last May. Ali five of the men impli-- cated in the combined robbery and murder are in custody, with a good chance that all of them will go to the pen for longer or shorter terms, if they are fortunate enough to escape the chair. Although the grim Arctic holds most of the chips, man has won a little stake in the gainble with the elements. It is the rescue of two members of the Italia's crew by the Russian ice-- breaker Krassin. When one realizes that the two men spent forty--three days on an ice floe, far from humanity, with the bod'y of a third companion lying close to them, one appre-- ciates the trials that they have gone through . Nationalities cut little figure in the battle with the ice and snow of the northern regions. Italians, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Russians, all of them are doing their best to save the surviving members of the ill--fated dirigible and the unlucky re-- lief expeditions. All is not co--operation among the five men charged with the killing. They are accusing one another of the capital crime and are telling conflicting .fiu in order to escape the responsibil-- ity. The facts will come out in good time, but the big thing just now is to cong;mhtc the state's attorney and his workers for the good piece of sleuthing that they have done.

WHILE Abraham Lincoln was "clerking" in a store in New Salem, Illinois, he made a mistake one day and overcharged a woman customer six cents on a purchase.
