July 1* mi m,A ijfnpf >*J ~"4 V * * '** . mtx.nfWWFi, •frl W. H. Tammeos A very enjoyable tinie has been spont for two days this week entertaining two farm advisers from Scotland and -Wales. They tell a merry joke, too. ^Phey say the Scotch jokes are a product of the Chamber of Commerce there. The Welch, Mr. Lew- IpV tells of the Scotch man who had been to the city to have a physical exam. On the train going home he would rush out at each station and come in again breathleas.. His seat neighbor finally asked what was the idea. He explained that the doctor had told hini he had a very bad heart and may die any moment, consequently, he was buying his itaket home from station to »tatron. Mr.« Howie told me. he lives in Elgin,. Scotland, which is twentyone miles. frpm Huntley; Dundee is nearby, t<x>. We went to Elgin to -get a picture of Main street to pair off with the one he showed us of Elgin in his country. He used to be statidned fn the Shetland Islands and said there they had Shetland ponies, cattle. k£ep and sheep dogs. They are alt pint-sized. ^ The wool from Shetland, sheep is so fine that a shawl like the women there make. 6 feet by 6 feet, can be rolled up and drawn through a wedding ring. The Shetland pony was bred to be used in the 1 o w ceiling mines there. - Pictures Mrl Howie showed igglufled market day in town. Wrmfers were grouped in small groups "yarning a bit" as he put it. and selling cattle, grain and other produce to each other and to the buyers. Most of the sales are made this way. JWr. , Lewis, the story teller, said1 English excess 'of. letters in words snch as "high" which obviously includes the unnecessary gh, bothers foreigners a great Jul. A French student in London, wno had spent weeks learning'-tlie English language, saw a flicker sign on a theatre, which read, "Cavalcade, Pronounced Success." He threw up his hands in desperation and said, "1 give up." Of course, these men are well educated and adapt themselves to new -ways quickly. They were very gracious gentlemen -and were •ery easy to visit with. «What about their meat ration- JC? It isn't so bad. The family gets - a roast on Sunday, which lasts through Tuesday in various forms. On Wednesday they get hamburger or sausage. Ttiey tell of "the man ordering sausage in the restaurant. He inquired after taking a bite whether he sl\puld use sauce or syrup. Later in the week they u&Ve »fish, which ii plentiful, so it isn't too bad. A.The ration is in money so the demand is for cheaper grades of meat to gel more. fThfc Black and White Show held last week was a decided success except for the rainy afternoon. They were first to use the new hog barn just completed at the fairgrounds. Thejre will be room for eighty pens 6x6 feet, but the pens will not be in this year. This type of Holding will make tentff unnecessary in the future and will help cut down on the confusion of Work just before the fair in the future.

Henrjr Grossen came along and worked like a trouper. Hickory Creek Farm of McHenry put in a number of hours, too. with three or more men. I'm afraid I missed somebody here. I can't think who it might be. There seems very little cj^rn borer activity in the county. Only a few calls. The rains were good for that anyway.

Wtat Research Does Far Tea With its prime objective as the prevention or treatment of illness, * •c 1'uiii., w>ui>utuu>' 10 find out why people get sick, the cause of the sicknesB, how to recognize disease and how to treat it. The process is known as research, a constant hunt for more and more knowledge about disease, a Health Talk issued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out. «. In IU. progress, medicine has determined the cause and treatment of tuberculosis, yellow fever, malaria, cholera, typhoid, plague and many other infectious conditions which once broujght death to thousands -of persons every year. New technics in surgery, safer childbirth, anesthetics, and many other lifesaving facts have similarly resulted from medical research. Searching constantly, the scientists in their laboratories continue their efforts to learn causes of diseases which as yet remain unexplained. Research is now going forward on cancer, on rheumatic fever, pp various disease of the nervous system and numerous other diseases. H Research brings knowledge and knowledge is power--the power to save life and relieve pain. It is unreasonable and illogical to believe that research should be stopped.

Study of heart disease, which kills one but of three males, has been greatly advanced by research performed on animals. . Dogs are indispensable for many phases of medical research work. They cau live a healthy life in relative confinement. Like man, they eat all kinds of food, both animal and vegetable. Their bodies utilize food in the ssme manner as the human bod^^ln structure and functions the dog is similar to man, thus permitting similar surgical procedure. He alone has chest walls nearly enough like man's In - elasticity to allow experiments in artifical respiration. Many experiments are not conducted on dogs until the final stages. Guinea pigs, rabbits, white rats and mice serve for the initial experiments. Before being applied to man, the tests are theu performed on animals most closely resembling man in physiology and anatomy. Often this is the dog. Almost as often it is the monkey. It is strange that there still remain persous in this progressive world who refuse to bT Informed of the true merits of animal experimentation.
