TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Mr. and Mrs. William Spe.icer were victims of a very pleasant surprise tendered them by a number of relatives and friends at their home in the south end of this city l^st e Sunday, the occasion being their twenty-fifth anniversary. W. F. Vogt, chairman of the Boy Scout drive of this city, informs us that McHenry subscribed its full quota of $275 and a little bit more. Twenty or more of the' business men of Green street who are members of the newly organized Centerville Business Mens' Association, got out last Friday morning with picks, shovels and wheel barrows succeeded in filling up the holes and otherwise improving the appearance of the business section of that end of town. The business men set about the work in a spirit that was truly American. It is now Jacob Justen & Son, if you please. The change whereby Jacob Justen, veteran furniture dealer and undertaker, takes his son, George, into partnership in the business, occurred this week and henceforth the business will be conducted under the iiew firm name.

Approximately 100 men in the connty will be sworn In as bank deputies to protect county banks from holdup men, it was learned here. . . t*T Till *.T1 .f Hi I H*. iV ff&RM ADVISER'S COMMENTS (William Tammeus. Farm Advisor) Andrew H. Phelps, vice-president of Westinghouse Electric Corporation told the following story which speaks for itdelf: "A story is told about the tax collector who called on the farmer to explain why it is necessary to collect taxes. The collector told the farmer that taxes were necessary to ouild and maintain , his highways, to provide old-age benefits,^ feed him when he's hungry, to.take care of him when he's sick, and to bury him when he's dead. The farmer replied my saying, 'I see. It's something like the way 1 feed my dog. When hie comes to me looking, hungry, I 'cut off a piece of his[ tail and feed it to him." Ui-itjnacker Brothers of 'Alden sure like ladino clover; They say it cures slower than alfalfa, but the leaves seem to stick better if raked' in time. They like the way it recovers so quick after mowing. Much faster than alfalfa. Dr. Wiley of Borden's gave a good talk before the annual D. H.- I. A. meeting a couple of\weeks ago. Some interesting things included tfye fact that a salty taste to milk is a definite warning sign of an attack of mastitis. He says to select your replacement * heifers from long lifed cows.. Not much can be done al>out a cow's test by feeding. It is mostly a matter of heredity. He has a chicken manure story thai' was interesting. A farmer complained of a sharp' decrease in test, so Doc investigated. He found a nearby broiler plant was selling the farmer their manure and piling it in his pasture for him to spread. The cows were eating it and the cod liver oil was reducing the test. As soon as the cows were not allowed to forage over the manure piles the (est cane back up. He says shark oil will increase the test. Vado Channey, south of Marengo, boasts of a sow who had twenty-two pigs last fall and all twenty-two are still doing strong. We just finished a report on soil testing for; 1949. We tested 26,166 acres on 296 farms. Eighty-two percent of this land did not need any limestone. 59 percent was low to very low inavailable phosphate and only 22 percent was low to very low in available potash. We heard an interesting talk recently by Kermit Etty' of the University of Chicago at the Northern Illinois Land Cotjfacil. He used to be in charge of research for the C.I.O. and of Coarse, is very pro. labor. He said the C.I.O. ts made up of American agriculture's ' surplus children. He threw some light on the coal strike. He said coal mining is an over-expanded industry in the U. S. today. The young fellows are not going lottt It, which is reflected by the f*(5t that the average age ot coal miners is M years. . ; ' Coal miners do not work 200 days per year, but generally considerably less. John L. Lewis wants $15 per day for 1 ft00 days which would make $3,000 per year to live on, which isn't high. He said communism is • product of over taxation and the misery of unemployment or under pay ment. The leaders of the communc movement are the most ruth 8 bunch ever to descefed on the ulation of the world and must be stopped. - r WIDOWS 07 FIRST WAR ENTITLED TO MONTHLY PENSIONS Widows of veterans of World War I whose income is $1,000 a yea^ or less are entitled to a pen* sion of $42 a month, the Illinois Veterans Commission pointed out. Those with children under certain ages are entitled to extra compensation and the income restriction is raised to $2,500.

For the purposes of a pension a widow must have been married to a World War I veteran before Dec. 14, 1944, or ten or more years to the person who served. Service officers of the Illinois Veterans Commission are ready to assist or • advise veterans or their dependents on all pension or compensation benefits.
