SCHAEFER Draying McHENRY. ILLINOIS When you're hieing long the highway, an' the famly's in the car, arc' you've picked a level byway that will take you wide and far, you are sittin' kinda pretty, with your frets and cares behind, 'cause you've left the bakin* city, an' there's nothin' on your mind. As you speed along, you wonder o'er the beauty spread aroun, and your'e thinkin, why in thunder are you livin' in a town? There's the sweet perfume of clover and the fresher ozone brings thorough pleasure to the rover who's enjoying nature's things. Roads are wondrous as you sally down the straightway, 'round the turn, through the hill and dale and valley. W^hat's the diff what gas you burn? All the family's havin' pleasure. Kinda thrillin', through and through. And, of course, there is a measure that is bound to come to you. All in all, ya get to thinkin' that the world is pretty sweet. In the-open you're not drinkin' in the dust of city street. But ,the feeling quickly switches. Who said touring was so fine with its bumps and ruts and ditches--when you hit a detour sign? Stannard Doyle were on his way down town yesterday when he met up with Mark Price an' Mark were a i looking some blue. So Stannard says ; "What's wrong?" says he. "I'm broke," Mark says. "I took Mary Eaton up to McHenry to a show last night," says he, "an I ast her to a little supper afterwards,", he says, "an' honest, Stan," says he, "I never seen a girl eat so much in my life," he says. "It jest left me strapped," says he. "Well, you got to treat a lady right," Stannard says, "an' you must remember you invited her," says he. "I know," Mark says, "but when I ast her for a date," says he, "I didn't mean a stuffed one," says he. No man knows how little he knows until his children get big enough to ask questions. One day last week Doc Carvem's little girl went to where his horse were hitched an' fed him a Coupla of onions, which Doc just simply hates 'em. So Mis Carvem ast him to drive her out to do a few urrants an' the smell o' oniions come a-bowilng back something turrible. Doc slapped tfce horse with the lines an' says, "Giddap!" says he, le's hurry past the smell o' them onions," he says. But the farther they went the worse it seemed to get an' finely Doc says, "In the name o' God!" says he, "is everybody in town a-cooking onions?" he says. • FEDERAL DAISY „ PRODUCTS GRADES (^rapuvi by tk« United SUtit Depart* m«nt of Agriculture.) fr^ederal dairy products inspect**** 4CUl be known as official graders and the government inspection certificates on dairy products will be known as official grading certificates, beginning July 1, the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, has announced in revised regulations. The change in designation has been made to clarify the work of the department with reference to its various activities relating to dairy and poultry products, and to conform to international terms with respect to grading of these products for quality and condition. The bureau announced that the use of existing Inspection certificates will continue until the supply is used up. The new certificates of quality which are used by firms to seal cartons of egg* which are packed from graded lots, and to Inclose in cartons of butter which Is packed from cburclogs which have been officially graded, will read substantially as follows: "This is to certify that the chum- In gs of butter (or. -the lot of eggs) from which the butter (or eggs) contained in this carton was taken was graded by nn official grader of the United States Department of Agriculture; that the date of said grading and number of grading certificate are perforated or stamped hereon, and that the quality of the butter (or/ eggs) when Inspected was 96 score or higher, If butter, (and U. 8. No. 1 Extras or better, If eggs)." Individuals and organizations using this government service are advised that they may continue to use their present supply of Inspection certificates and of certificates of quality issued to applicants for Inspection under present regulations, but copy to be submitted to the printer for the printing of any new supplies should be submitted first for the approval of the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. A constantly Increasing demand for the official grading of butter, cheese and eggs Is reported. A chain-store organization operating 125 retail stores In the Bay cities of California, and a large butter and egg jobbing firm in Boston have been among recent applicants for the use of certificates of quality in their retail cartoned products. The government Inspection, or grading service as It Is known, was established in the bureau of markets in the Department of Agriculture in 1917 in response to a demand for such a service from producers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. The service has grown steadily until now there are 36 official graders. Grading offices are maintained in Boston, New York, Philadelphia. Chicago, Plymouth, Wis., Minneapolis, Duluth, San Francisco, Petaluma, Calif., and at various points in Missouri. In Minnesota alone, 80,000,000 pounds of butter a year is being graded; in New York city the annual grading of live poultry will approximate 12,000 carloads; in Missouri there will be Inspected this year some 500 carloads of egps. The Boston and Philadelphia services are carried on In co-operation with local produce exchanges, and in Minnesota, Missouri and California In co-operation with state departments of agriculture. bsnre-In Sure-Insnrance -- WITH -- W m.G.

Matter of Meal a While In the largest cities It Is a fact that the heaviest meal of the day occurs at Qight, it is also a fact that In the smtttler cities, of 200,000 population and below, the heaviest meal occurs at noon. The reason for this ts, of course, that in the largest cities there Is an exodus at evening to the suburbs, where the family reunion Is held over the dinner table, whereas In. the smaller cities people are able to go home to midday lunch. 6 6 6 . li • prescription f«* Colds, Grippe, Fin, Dengue, BillonB Fever and Malaria.

Science explains it in many ways; but we aceept the easiest one, which is that we are a world of left-footed loungers.

The next time yoa buy shoes, have your left foot measured first. Select Sire to Improve Good Qualities of Herd A sire should be selected to improve the dairy qualities of the herd he is to head, and should, therefore, be descended from animals that have proved their dairy qualities. Find out, if possible, the production records of his dam, two granddams and four great-granddams. Learn If his sire and two grandsires have gotten high producing daughters. See the offspring and dam, if possible, and find out whether they indicate that the sire in question comes from stock with sproved transmitting ability. Remember that 50 per cent of the inheritance of an animal comes from his sire and dam; that 25 per cent is divided between his'four ancestors In the second generation, and 12*4 per cent is divided between eight ancestors in the third generation back. The remaining 12% per cent in his Inheritance is divided among all the ancestors. Remember also that many ancestors may not have had a chance to prove themselves, and that a pedigree may therefore not tell all the truth about the animal In question. Don't select a poor individual, however long and astounding be his pedigree. Raising Dairy Calf Good breeding is essential to success in stock raising, but the best of breeding may become of little value unless the younp animals are properly raised. This Is particularly true of the dairy-bred calf, as the young of practically nil other classes of stock are reared hv their dams in the natural way. The dairy cnlf Is usually reared by hand. The efficiency of the method followed has a great deal Of Influence upon the size, strength and future usefulness of the nntn^.

The canal dug from the Mill Pond to McCollum's Lake by Ri Bishop & Son, for the purpose of increasing their power we learn is a complete success. With one of the best powers in the state it is hoped and believed that Mr. Bishop will greatly enlarge his manufacturing facilities at an early day and utilize the splendid power now under his control. With his known business push, such a result may reasonably be looked for. The Steptember term of Circuit court is now in session at Woodstock, Judge T. D. Murphy presiding.
