Shlftiessness ts the reasooso many plans for thrift fall. It is difficult for a stout woman to get away from solid facta. What If science should some day veal that there are ghosts? It takes an extemporaneous speaker to talk fluently about nothing. "Pure cussedness" is a combination of stuhborness and brutality. Aesthetlclsm caused the decrease In tobacco chewing, not "reform." No one ever tells the doting mother of a wayward son what's wrong. Most of the burden of hard work is contemplating It in advance. Fortunate is the man who really deserves the opinion he holds of himself. Your mere presence may sometime* annoy the man who owes you money. He who waits for time to get normal before doing something, won't . do it If appearances are to be trusted, the average man gets very little beauty sleep.' We suspect that a lot of fellows are surprised that they get along as well as they do. \ Use your Judgment and also recognize Luck when it befalls you, is the best policy. j The more dollars you get together the louder they talk. The same may be said ot women. ~ A political worker depends on the majority, but be is sure to coddle an organized minority. Men who stick to their mistakes instead apologizing for them get along about as well as any. World Has Use for Constant Tin Supply Tin enters into so many minor articles of daily use that It ts held in contempt by many persons who are Ignorant of the real value and purpose of the mineral. In the first place they do not know that a tin cup we will say for instance, is very slight ly tin and very largely Iron. The tin Is a thin covering of the iron to pro tect It from the rusting action of the water and moisture. In the whol? world there is only about six weeks' supply of tin, and if for any reuson the supply should be suddenly cut off for that time the result would be serious. If there was no tin mined for three months the result would be disastrous. The great preserving establishments of America and Australia would be forced1 out of business and there would consequently be a shortage of food that would mean starvation for thousands of people. Most of the supply in tin comes from the Cornwall mines In England and in response to the demand for the metal there has recently been a great activity In that part of the country. The mines have been worked for hundreds of years and they are now being worked harder than ever. The Croupier^t Rake Charles M. Schwab, at a dinner on the eve of his departure for Europe, discussed his recent pronouncement in praise of speculation. "Speculation," he said, "isn't gambling. While speculation benefits business, gambling benefits nothing ana nobody except the gambling house." Mr. Schwab laughed. "An American family wintering in Nice," he said, "took their colored nurse to see the gambling at the casino. For half an hour or so the old woman watched the croupiers gathering in the cash ; then she turned to her mistress and said: "*Ah tells yo* what 'tis. Miss Abby.

SUGAR BUSH RUN BY 3 GENERATIONS Lacquer* Put to Good Use A small but important new use for the new cellulose lacquers, such as Used for automobile finish, to preserve from evaporation the tiny and delicate specimens mounted on glass Slides for use with the microscope, is described by Prof. A.

He seals the edcos of the cover glass to the slide with a ring of the lacquer, which quickly dries and makes a permanent mount Shellac and other Substances hitherto used for this purpose have not been very satisfactory. Birds Like Candy Commenting on grackles Mrs. Ansel ©. Cole of Iowa Informs Nature Maga Sine of Washington of an interesting bird party she held for her many bird friends.

Chardon, Ohio.--Three generations have operated one of the largest maple "sugar bushes" in Ohio, which this season Is yielding the largest oatput In its history. On November 20, 1869, - Isaac Hosford and his son bought 191 acres of land, then a part of the Connecticut land grant. The farm Is just outside of Chardon, on the Chardon- Palnesvllle road. For 57 consecutlvc years the farm and Its maple grove have been operated by Isaac Hosford and his descendants. It passed from father to son. Lynn H. Hoeford, World war veteran. Is the present owner. It has seen all phases of sugarmaking methods from the primitive to the modern. In 1870, Hosford set 300 wooden buckets and troughs on the ground beneath the maple trees to catch the sap. A gouge was used for tapping. A long hand-made wooden spout was inserted and from this the sap dropped into the buckets and troughs. y*r'.K ' In the Long ABO.V The sap was gathered with the aid of an ox te^m hitched to a boat sled on which wooden saddles were to arranged to hold two barrels of from thirty to forty gallons each. The saddles prevented the barrels from rolling off. The sap was poured Into two iron kettles holding from forty to' sixty gallons each and bricked In an arch. When the sap had been boiled down to sirup the kettles were lifted off the arch and away from the fire by means of a pole rested In another pole with a crotch, the end of which was fastened to the kettle by means of a heavy log chain. The next method for boiling sap had as its essential a pan with a flue heater. The pan had partitions enabling the operator to keep the sap separate from the sirup by means of gate slides. When the sap became sirup it was drawn off through a faucet directly over the fire. This plan was replaced In ISSfl with an evaporator invented by Henry Hill, a boyhood chum of Harris Hosford. To house tills new evaporator a large sugar house was built to centralize the gathering of the sap' as Ilosford's "sugar bush" now contained 1,000 trees. Modern Methods Coine. About this time wooden buckets were replaced by new galvanized buckets. The method of tapping also was changed. A three-eighths Inch bit and a patented metal spile with a shoulder for attaching the bucket were used. In 1900 a young grove of 1,200 t*ees had reached production and a large and Improved evaporator was placed behind the one purchased fourteen years before. The trees continued to Increase until their number required 3,500 buckets. These 3,500 buckets yielded 1,000 gallons of sirup in 1919 and again in 1923. The Hosford "sugar bush" Is considered one of the largest in Geauga county, which Is noted for Its maple sirup and maple sugar Industry. It contains 1,700 trees and Its yearly sirup output ranges from 400 to 600 gallons. Greater yields are exceptions.

The locals played good ball in all but the second inning when they blew up and the Gilberts scored 12 runs. After this the Grays settled down but could not overtake their rivals. Next Sunday Crystal Lake comes to Lily Lake for a return game. Although the locals have a 11-0 decision over the Lakers a hot game is expected as reports have been coming in that Grystal Lake is "loading up" for the Grays. The opening of what may be a long and drawn out fight has been started before T. A. Simpson, superintendent of schools in Lake county, and promises to bring two Lake county school districts to a decided misunderstanding. The argument is mainly convenience and desire vs. cost. A large territory about a mile and a half square, that has been a part of the Channel Lake school district, has decided to become a part of the Antioch school district. The argument on one side is that Antioch affords typical city grade schools and the distance is no greater, if not less than the Channel Lake school.' The opponents state that if the people in such a large amount of territory withdraw, the remaining populfttitia will be doubly taxed. FARM ADVISERS MEET Twice each year the Agricultural Extension office at the U of I call the farm advisers of the state together at Champaign-Urbana for conference' on problems of agriculture. June 6, 7 and 8 were the dates of the recent conference at which time a splendid program* was carried out. The McHenry County Farm Bureau was represented by E. M. Phillips. The main purpose of the meeting is to keep the advi«ers posted on the latest developments regarding the care, feeding and breeding of livestock and the production of our staple crops, the effect of vaiious soil treatments and the find^^s of the specialists working on all sorts of farm problems. So much work is being done by the various departments of the College of Agriculture that in a short space of 2 or 3 days it is scarcely possible to do more than to get a glimpse of the projects to which s]>ecialists are developing themselves. It is important to know that this work is going on at the University and learn first hand what the results may be. It would take a course extending over a year or more for one to familiarize himself in detail with the new problems to which the station men are giving their attention. In a 3 day period we simply hit the high spots, get a vision of the work and post ourselves on the literature sources of the same found iu the latest circulars, bulletins, etc. The big idea back of such conference is to improve the service of the farm bureau to its members--to bring the benefits of the Ck>llege of Agriculture to the rank and file of farmers in every county. Farm advisers or county agents are not encyclopediaes, there are a lot of things they do not know but there are not many things about farming that they do not have the facilities for finding out quite readily. Lawyers do ! not know all about law but good ones j know how to look it up. ' MIcHenry County Farm Bureau Entertained at Riagwood On last Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Claus Larson entertained about forty guests at her home at Ringwood. Banco furnished entertainment for the day and several prizes were carried away by McHenry ladies. First prize was awarded to - Mrs. John Keg, second prize to Mrs. John Engeln and third prize to Mrs. William Marshall. Those from McHenry who enjoyed the afternoon were Mrs. John Keg, Mrs. Roy Smith, Mrs. William Miarshall, Mrs. John Engeln. Mrs. George Worts, Mrs. Paul Meyers and sisters, Mrs. Pat. Moriarity, Mrs. Harry Hartley and Mrs. Harry Kist of Chicago. Growing Starch Plant New Hawaiian Industry Honolulu, T. H.--Pineapples and sugar are the two principal Industries of Hawaii, but a third Is rapidly being established to make use of lands too wet for pineapples and too high for cane. This is a starch, to be made from the edible eanna. For fifty years Australia has furnished the market with arrowroot, which Is starch from the root stock of this plant. The familiar canna of our gardens has tubers rich in starch, but the edible species has a very much larger spread of underground stems filled with starch that Is easily separated from the fiber for market use. Hawaii has used the plant extensively for stock feeding and there seems no reason why It should not be very profitable for commercial use when e tabllshed. George V Quits Custom of Taking Wine Out London --Kin« George has shattered another ancient precedent by abolish Ing the custom of taking his own wines when dining out. He decided to leave his wine stewards at Bucking ham palace, taking chances which many of his predecessors would never have dreamed of In the days when plots made the throne rather a risky Job. The practice of monarchs drinking liquors only from the royal cellars goes back even farther than the time of Henry V, when rulers feared being poisoned. The king and Queetj Mary have been guests of friends on numerous occasions recently. Among the hosts were Lord and Lady Astor and the duchess of Roxburgh, formerly Miss May Owlet of New York.

In a beautifully leather-bound book artistically illuminated, the biographer of the Saxon kings, who lived round 1250, places them as direct descendants of Adam and consequently feels compelled to record the king's ancestor's death as follows: "Adams, created by the Almighty Lord, dleth at the age of 87 of gouth and was burrled In Hebron."--Chicago Dally Mews.
