V ' l:;i VftWiB Tuuseas. Farac Advisor) Well! We got a few days vacation. Among other things we wfent to the state fair on Wednesday. I'm Usually a little late for most things, but. I was just fifteen minutes early to get in for nothing. It was Republican Day and everyone got in free from 10 to noon. McHenry county young people Who went down to show their livestock In the junior division all placed in the money apparently. In Holstetns, Kane- county took five firsts and McHenry county took the sixth one. This we hope to change next year. It proves that the good Holstetus in Illinois come from tliis area. Everyone I saw frbm ljere was having a good time. It is a wonderful experience for these young people "and the Farm Burefeu feels the expense of sending them down ig money Well spent. Last week we placed our accent on weeds. Last Sunday I spent in my garden, orchard, etc., after about a month of no'look, because of the fair. I wish to draw this conclusion-- weeds are a product of neglect and can be controlled only bjr the opposite approach. Frank Bielke, Woodstock electrical contractor and helper Kenneth Gieseke, and carpenter, Elmer Reese, donated time in finishing the administration building at the fairgrounds, which is the largest investment of 4-H Town Incorporated.' Coining home from Springfield I cut across country (forty miles) to my folks home. That is a bad tiling to do this time of year. It ldok~a~lot lunger--than-bjL-going_ about 15 miles further by state route. New gravel, tarring, blacklop, fixing bridges, etc. The signs should have read, "This Road a Risk, Travel on Youi* Own Construction." Then I could have fixed myself a road and made some time. Tears ago we used to travel that way to the, state fair Hi our 1H3 model Ford. I remember once *e got within about ten miles of Springfield when a cloudburst slopped our progress. After spending a couple of hours tinder a tree at a school we turned back and got home at dark. Such roads! As I remember then it was possible to slide into the ditch. That's different now--there are very few ditches you could get Into without fltaite a leap. Of COurte, the water cant get in tfotf either. Then no one griped about-* the taxes, but *9 didn't have , any roads either. Now townships' go broke trying to please the public on something like 1913 levies. It cant be dope. Would you like to stay at home whep it rains or- pay tile cost. Such decisions have to Wb made by the people. ! Speaking of , unusual circumstances, ray wife was following an Ice cream truck with the side door Open. Gallon packages of ice cream rolled out periodically. By the time she Stopped to pick them up the truck got so far ahead she couldn't stop him to tell him the door was open. 1 At the state fair, I met Indian chief RunniQg Water. He has three sons; Hot,'Cold And Luke. Hy dad toid me the Other evening, he had completed sixty years' of milking, which he thinks, is long enough. He plans to sell his cow. On my way to the fair, I stopedE in Bloomihgton for gas. Everyone!

Treasury Dtpartmremt CLEAR TITLE 0 1 Dees 1'eur Head Achet There is probably no other distressing condition that disturbs humankind so often as does headache, states the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society in a Health Talk. Headache is a symptom--not a ! disease. There are about fortyseven different types of headache, all painful and all warnings of some disturbance in the body. There is the frontal headache associated with sinusitis or neuralgia; the pain on one side of the head identified with eye strain. Then there -is the pain on the top of th© bead, referred to air vertex headache and commomy attribute^ to some form of hystefia, caused by emotional conflict. Headaches also stem from overeating, overdrinking, oversmoking, constipation, fatigue, insomnia, poor ventilation, noise, exposure to sun or inhalation of poisonous fumes. Persons afflicted with headache complain of pounding or hammering headaches, band headaches, recurrent headaches and "splitting" headache. All headaches are painful and disturbing--extending from the dull throbbing" ache to the constant hammering. Some occur in the morning, ease up during the day and recur in the evening, and some just the reverse. Headache caused by emotional disturbances, such as worry or a feeling of inferiority or inadequacy, is usually described as a feeling of pressure suggesting that the sufferer were carrying a weight on top of the head. Perhaps there is a complaint of an emptiness or feeling that the head will burst. Again some patients A--mention a loss of interest In things about them, dizzinessT~an fatigue. In this patient, psychiatric assistance may be needed. In the headache associated with high blood pressure, the pain is usually in the back of the head and is increased by sneezing, straining and bending. When the pressure of the blood is lowered, the headej,-' cried Safin fo'a^ri&fr a*->. rival, ""you net as if you owned the place." "I dt»," came the answer, "my wife gave it to tne before I came." Literal Minded His relatives telephoned, to the nearest florist's. The ribbon must be extra wide, with "Rest in Pence" en both sides, and if there Is room, **We Shall Meet in Heaven.'* The florist was away and his new assistant handled the job. There was a sensation when the flowers turned up at the funeral. The ribbon was extra wide, indeed, and on it was the inscription: "Rest in peace on both sides, and' if there is room, wa shall meet in heaven." * ** ache usually dlmppeaaft. 4MP,.all patients with high Mood pressure have headache. .. The migraine or sick headache is one of the most dlstre--lug; it is characterized by seTOre »aln, usually on one side, and teat* from a few minutes to ten or fifteen days. This type of headache is usually preceded by a seniuttlon of flashing light and bright rays that "zigzag" before the eyes. This condition seems to appear in women more often than men, between the ages of 16 and 35, and in that type may decrease in violence or stop completely after the menopause or change of life. Another type of headache Is the one that begins after an injury to the head. The headache in the person who does not lose consciousness after injury varies1 frbm that found in the one who dotes. Many actors are involved, depending on changes within the brain or emotional dificulties. Headaches are painful and irritating. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that they are nature's warning to Some other condition that needes attention. A competent doctor of medicine should be the judge, and a thorough physical examination is indicated to trace the source of the disturbance which may be emotional or may be physical and it may sometimes be serious. • • ^ > A Attic Vcnt.ApMimH the total area of attic vent openings should be appfbytfflttWiy onehalf square inch per square foot of attic floor area whe^ lhe Aof pitch is greater than a thVee-inch vise in a 12-inch 'run, and double that when the pitch is flatter.).' . * li.'ms;- » -'.liffc? • • Marine j."..'jft? .
