Mason-Dixon Best Kmwb Boundary Lint in U.S. Within the United States, straight aad nearly straight latitude and loAgitude lines predominate as state boundaries. Colorado and Wyoming fappear as perfect rectangles, each with two north-south am| two eastwest borders. Few of the state lines run exact* ly on the latitude or longitude originally intended. Crude instruments coupled with careless surveying of a century ago resulted in many outof- place lines. Half a dozen or more north-south boundaries are slightly west of even-degree Greenwich meridian lines because they were • calculated in terms of a since discarded system of longitude west of Washington. Most famous state partition, perhaps, is the Mason-Dixon line, first surveyed in Colonial times, and later viewed as a North-South division. Fixed by a strange formula With reference to the settlement* of Philadelphia and New Castle, it happened to run close to the 40th parallel, at »• 49' 19.91". Because of lost and defaced markers, its re- 1 survey is planned. The same 38th parallel that has so divided Korea cuts across It states from Virginia to Californis. Nowhere does it serve as a real or intended state line, although it almost coincides with the Virginia- Marvland boundary on the Chesapeaki eastern shore, and it crosses the Ohio River five times where the river forms the Indiana- Kentucky border west of Louisville.

The pad is spread aver the mattress like aa ordinary mattress pad and then is covered with sheets. The Johnsburg Tigers beat the Shamrocks last Sunday at McHenry by the score of 5 to 1. For five innings it was a real pitchers' battle between Murphy and Klapperich. In the sixth, however, the Tigers scored three runs which proved more than enough to win. The Shamrocks scored in the first inning on a single by Mc- Crackei}. Miller sacrificed. Mc- Culla singled to left center and McCracken scored, McCulla taking second on the throw to the plate. Freund grounded out to the third baseman. Rosing hit a ball through the box that looked like a sure hit, but Howie Freund, playing second, crossed over on the shortstop side of second, made a back-handed stab of the ball aad threw Rosing oat to retire the side. ^ The Shamrocks threatened again in the third. McOacken led off with his second hit, a single to center. Sonny Miller attempted to sacrifice, but popped the ball over Klapperich's head for an infield lingle. McCulla sacrificed but the next two men struck out. Art Jackson beat out a' bunt to start the fourth for Johnsburg. Buddy Meyer grounded to the shortstop aad forced Jackson at second. In trying for the double play, Rosing threw wide to first, but McCulla was backing up the play aftd caught Meyer trying for second. Kats followed with a single but Hiller struck out tt> retire the side. --Jim Frenad Triples-- After two outs in the fifth, Johnsburg managed to tie the score. Jim Freund tripled to right center and scored a moment later when Miller let Klapperich's ground ball go through him for an error. In the sixth for Johnsburg after one out, Buddy Meyer drew Murphy's first pass..A two-base error put men on second and third. Hiller struck out for the second out. Howie Freund ran the count to S and 2 and drove the next pitch down the left field ftul l{ne for a double, scoring Meyer and Kats. A single to center by Pitsen scored Freund with the third and last run of the inning. A two-base error and a single by Si Meyer in the ninth scored Johnsburg's fifth run. A Ringle by Freund in the sixth and Meier's error of Rating's ground ball in the ninth made up the Shamrock's attack In the last six innings. Klapperich retired the side in order ia the 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th. Johntbnrg F. Meyer RF A. Jackson CP B. Meyer SS ,, Katz IB R. Hiller LF H. Freund 2B Pitsen C J.

There wefe changes. Harold Freund turned the manager's jpb over to A. P. "Tony" Freund. Then came lineup' changes, due to the loss of Boh Madsen aad Marty Klapperich, who are on the disabled list. Don Freund and John Knox formed the new battery and came through very nicely. The game was very tight until the eiphth when Don Freund grooved one for Koutney, who properly dispatched the ball over the roadway for a 3-run homer. Spring Grove scored a run in the first on a proven pattern. Kaiman walked, advanced to second on Metcalf's sacrifice and scored on a hit to right center by Christensen. . Jacques led off the fourth with a walk, stole second and raced on to third when J. Knox overthrew second. Koutney's single to right scored the runner. Two Nipped At Plate The Merchants had two rtinners thrown out at the plate to hurt their chances. In the fourth, Paluch beat out a hit to short, stole second and picked himself up to run to third when Van Every threw wild to „ second. 'Twas a mad scramble as the relay got past third and Paluch was sent racing for home plate. The only trouble was that pitcher Goddard had backed up the play and fired a strike to his catcher to nail the runner. Another base-running incident in the fifth broke up a McHenry rally. Bunkleman and Butler drew passes and were parked on first and second when Bob McCulla doubled in right field. One run scored, but Butler was out by a country mile on Kaiman's perfect relay to the plate. That previously mentioned hone run put the game on ice. The Merchants made only one error In the game. To Don Paluch goes a bouquet for the fielding play of the day. He raced far and wide to hand in Van Halla's drive in the eighth. In the hitting department, John Knox gets special mention. He had a perfect day with three hits and a base on balls.Q Spring Grare (6) AJL R* Molidor 3B 5 0 Kaiman 2B 4 j Metcalf CF 3 0 May RF ......... 0 * 0 Christenaen LF -'4 7*1 Jacques IB , J • 2'> Stanton IB 0 0 Van Halla RF 4 0 Koutney SS . 4 1 Van Every C # o Ooddard P ••-o A Jiflf 5 •Mill* New Crabgrass Killer no fetaviston in this joint.

Bttttr Artificial Llnfc - Mad* far War Ampiifta* Soldiers who have lost hands kl the Korea fighting are fitted with a new type of artificial limb that provides better control and grasping power. After trisl on a tew selected cases the number of arm amputees now fitted with the new limb has increased to 28. The mest recent cases were Korean casualties. During and after the last war, most of the amputees considered hooks as the best substitute for a hand. They usually were made ol prongs. Multiple rubber bands or springs were used to provide the closing action. The prong-type hooks, however, provide no control over the smount of pressure which the amputee might apply to any object grasped. The newer limb--either artificial hands or hooks--csn be activated by arm muscles themselves. A surgical technique has been developed to attach the museles to the device, giving the amputee better control with less conspicuous movements. The surgeon incorporates a loop of skin from the arm into the muscle which is drawn through a puncture wound of the stump. The control cable, which works the device, is attached to this loop of sk^ti and muscle by a plastic pin Complete line of Beebe livestock remedies at Wattles Drag Store, McHenry. 8tf 100 100 030--5 000 010 000--1 McCulla, God- Complete line •§ Lee's poultry remedies at Wattles Brag Store, McHenry. |tf Totals Score by Innings t • 8prlng Grove: Merchants: Two base hits: dard.

PHONE 484* ANEW chemieal is available this y«ar which shows promise of indingahe home owner's Ions *nd llscoaraging battle against his worst lawn enemy--crabgrass. Its aame is potassium cyanate and it Works by simply mixing it with water and sprinkling or spraying it on your lawn. After live years of testing and perfecting, potassium cyanate has been proven safe, economical, simple to use and--most important-- tS to 100 per cent effective. It is aoa-toxlc enough to be used without danger around children or pets. It causes no permanent injury or even lasting discoloration to most basic grasses. And it can be used etfectively on either seedlings or mature crabgrass plants. The cost of using potassium cyanate averages one dollar per 1200 square feet of lawn when applied to young seedling crabgrass in the spring (about twice as much is required in late summer, when the crabgrass plant is in its hardy prime). For those who have larger lawns the cost will be much less, as larger containers can be pan chased at quite a substantial saving* Although potassium cyanate caa be applied at any time during tha growing season, it is most effectiya when applied late in the smamer,, just before the crabgrass plant goes to seed. This is also the ideal tU#a of the year to re-seed your lawn 1st those patches where crabgrass ha* been destroyed. Potassium cyanate Is not a trade name.
