Victim: Bertha Schiessle. The total number of examinations given in the high school at the close of last semester was 278. Of this number there Were 51 failures, that 18.3 per cent of the high school failed. This percentage is about a half larger than it should be. The high school conference, which is composed of the high schools of meeting will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. This conference shapes the policy and sets the standards of the high schools of Illinois. Among other things that this conference has determined is that the lessons in high school should be assigned long enough to require one hour of preparation. A student who is carrying regular work, four high school subjects, will then have to put in from an hour and a half to two hours of study on his work at home. Unless he does so he cannot expect to earn- his work in school satisfactorily. Since the school can only indi-' rectly require this home study, it must fall largely upon the parents to,see that it is done. Additional Personal E.

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION ^ Of Farmers Was Launched In Chien-1 go Last Week Federal Farm Loans THRU FIRST JOINT STOCK LAND BANK OF CHICAGO, ILL. NO COMMISSIONS NO DELAYS I have been appointed agent for McHenry County for the making of Federal Farm Loans through the above bank. These loans run for thirty-three years with privilege of paying sooner. Upon the* payment of the interest only during the full period of the loan, the entire lo&n is cancelled. A portion of the interest each year is applied on the principal and in this way the mortgage is lessened each year and finally cancelled at the end of the thirty-three years and the average rate of interest, if the loan runs the full period, is less than 4 per cent. This does away with renewal of farm loans and protects your family in case of death. The loans are not limited in amount, only as to appraised value. I am handling the above in connection with my law business and also t^ve arranged lor the selling of tax exempt bonds. Mimea WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS AUCTION!

A national organization of farmers, built from the farm up, was launched j in Chicago Nov. 12, 13 and 14. This temporary organization represents 500,000 men who own or operate I farms in thirty-four states and arel members of county farm bureaus. Illinois has seventy-four county farm bureaus and the farmers 9f the counties run their farm bureaus. The members of these farm bureaus started the Illinois Agricultural as-[ sociation, which is their state business organization located in Chicago. I It was1 the I. A. A. and other similar state organizations that started the j National Farm Bureau Federation. These farmers, coming from all I corners of the United States, want a real farmers' organization, with a membership of bonafide farmers with brains, power and money enough to really represent and promote their big business. They want an organization that will stand for Americanism while it is doing these | things. A constitution was agreed upon I by these states and as soon as ten states ratify it the executive committee will call a meeting for March 3, at which time the organization will be made permanent. The membership of the organization will be State Farm Bureau associations. The membership is $260 to $1000 per state, to be set by the executive committee. In addition each state shall pay in ten per cent of the fees received by farm bureaus from farmers. In the case Of Illinois there are 35,000 farm bureau members paying $10 each, making $35,000 the Illinois Agricultural association would pay Each state will have one derector and one additional director for each 20,000 paid up memberships in the state association. The executive committee, which is elected I by directors, is composed of three men in each of four sections of the country, northeastern, southern, middle western and far western, and not more than one man from any one | state. H. J. Sconce of Vermilion county, I president of the Illinois Agricultural association and executive for Illinois on the National* Federation, outlined the work of the Federation as in his address of welcome. Mr. Sconce said the things to keep uppermost in mind is that the farm business is a producing and selling business and not a buying business. He advised getting laws giving thej farmers the right to market cooperatively. Farmers must have the right to I co-operate and sell the products of| their labor. This will not only insure us a profit, but it will decrease I the cost to the consumer. We mustl work for a stabilization of markets| and food prices, reducing the wild! fluctuation of grain and live stock! markets, by controlling the flow of| these products to the markets. Wei should assist the government in per-1 fecting a reliable crop reporting I system for the entire world, w« must find out what the world needs | and produce it. "We should insist that a federal board be created to advise the making of contracts with this or anyl other government for food products,] thereby disposing of a part of our] products by contract price, which! would help to stabilize the price onl the remainder. , the iffffif* Me*J ' ' f; k ©1919 \ $^KAUf!1Att£ &R&& Cloihes for Younger Men Brisk Styles--For Out-of-Doors People CLOTHES that have the vigorous snap of fall and early winter.
