Last Sunday was "Go to Church" day at Harvard. The event was given plenty of publicity and as a result the various churches in- the city Were well filled at all services on that day. This is a fine Spirit and" one which should be followed Out in every village and town in the country. Church going has never been knowrt to harm anyone and if everyone would girls of Mcand Girls* &nte*t: : P>3/ < How I Raiaed My Calf I heard of the pig and calf cWb'liifr year, thought some of joining then but did'not, the reason I do not know, but this year 1 talked it over with our neighbor boy, Earl Thomas, and we' decided-to buy us a good heifer qpdf, one with an A. R. O. record bade of it and join the club. So we went out looking here and there, but no one would price the kind of heifers we wanted until we went to D. M. Weter and Son and we found two there that were what we wanted, but he said he would not take less "'Oft make it a regular practice this would [than on« hundred and fifty dollars a be a brighter and better world in!Piece for them' but we thought if we k'-Xu. which to live. Let's ill " get the habit. 7 " The population of Palatine is all worked u{> over the proposed ' sewerage system which certain members of the village board thete are attempting ti>' force upon the taxpayers/ The estiriiatecf cost of the proposei impfdvement is $110,000. Some of those opposed to the improvement have even gone so far as to suggest a' "rail party." It will probably take the people there a little time to . realize their mistake, when all wiil agree the improvement ha3 to come sometime and why delay any longer. Henry Scliulcpecht has just been promoted to the position of superin- Lrnicttt of the Peters Bros, big factory at Algonquin. The concern is bringing new employes into' the village almost weekly ,and oi^any new hemes have been erected tigpre during the past year to housj| the new- ,corners, many of whom former residents of the village, but iWho have been forced to locate elsewhere on account of the- fact that thefr own village famished none or very little employment. Things are different there now and since the location of the new industry in that village the place has boomed as never before and is destined to become /o^e of the largest municipalities Of McHenry county. Open Johiuburg Read Hio road between this village and Johnsburg v. as brokea on Wednesday •ii this week. The big road scraper *as brought into action on that day and as a. result of this automobile iaffic has again been opened between the t a o' points, Arthur M. Adams bears the: distinction of driving the fir3t caar lover the. roads since the heavy --.snoar -of. early. Wintor. He drove here from Weods£ock, on, Tuesday afternoon and after a more or lc3S eventful trip finally succeeded in reaching the home of his parents at Johnsburg' He drove a new Oldsmobile Six on Tuesday an# returned on Wednesday driving a Paige. On the return trip Wednesday he was accompanied, by "Cap" Bickler of .the Central garage of Johnsburg,^ and the two had some atory to tell, our A, wore going to buy- one we had better buy a good one, so we bought them and then drew cuts to see which calf we had. I was satisfied with my calf altho I did have nearly all of my money invested in her because she was a.-pet and did so well from the start and seemed to eat and like everything I f d her and has a good appetite and always playful and as she. {natures I see a great many points about, her that makes me think she will make some one a cow that will better their herd if not lead it, because I think breeding has a great .daal to do with it. What I like best about ottr club meetings I learned what I should feed my calf and how- I should feed it to make gains at the least costs and I think, too, the social part of the meetings were nice, seeing the pother boy3 and girls and talking with them and finding out what they were fee^infe and how their calf or pig gaining. I did not have very much trouble securing proper rations for my calf, as feeding and raising the calves has been my part of the chores for the past four years and I used what I had learned in that time so I easily found a ration. < I found it easy weighing feed as each Monday morning I would weigh out all the feed for that week and then that would be done for a week. At first I weighed the calf without a crate, but I found it much easier after I made a crate to weigh h$r. I dont know whether I will try and raise a calf next year or not,. I w ill wait until after the. sale and see if I did right this year by paying so much for a, high bred calf or if I did wrong. I think I did right, but will know after the sale, I think the club coald be made more interesting if every club member would attend more regularly and while they were there tell of their experience they have had with their calf or pig and in that way help each other.
