Most every town in the county was represented by objectors on that date. The members of the board are well pleased with their work of the term. "It has been a pleasure to work with the members of the board," stated Chairman Durkee to . a Plaind^aler reporter yesterday. "At first I didn't think much of the work and was a little inclined to believe that It was all bunk, but as time went on I plainly saw where the board could do much good in the county," replied Durkee, when asked by a Plaindealer representative what he thought of the b<?ard of review. "As chairman of the Board of Review for the year of 1926 and as chairman of the board of suDervisors tor the same year, I feel highly honored and will always cherish the cooperation and good will of those who worked with me as long as I lire,*1 itated the board head. "Of course I will be glad to get back to my duties on my farm and get acquainted with my family again after being away from the farm so much this summer," replied Mr. Durkee when asked if he would be glad to get back to farm life again. John Higgins and William Desmond Sr., are veterans of the board and the work this summer has been nothing new to them, but they have enjoyed the splendid co-operation of the board members. William Gruenwald of Crystal Lake Is the other member of the board and has enjoyed his first year as a member of the county org a n i s a t i o n . ' ' Tin Can Not Danger®** The prevailing idea that it is necessary to remove food products from cans as soon as they are opened is erroneous. For a reasonable period incident to its utilization it would be safer to allow the food to remain in the can. Transferring to another receptable only adds to. the^danger of contamination. • ^ Mite KiIIob Chicken mites majT be eradicated by a few thorough applications of kerosene or some of the coal-tar products sold for this purpose, or crude petroleum, to the interior of the poultry house, including the floor, taking care to get the material into the cracks. Savory fats can be made by cooking beef, pork, and other meat fats with herbs or strong vegetable juices, particularly onion, and training for use in seasoning gravies and meat dishes. WEEKLY PERSONALS COMPETITION IN WORDS' One who goes into the market to buy a motor car today is naturally confused. He has read the words best and greatest so often . that they have ceased to be convincing. Whan mil is best, he reflects, there can be no best. Thousand-dollar cars have been described to him in ten-thousand dollar language. And vice versa. He finds himself the target in a war of adjectives; the helpless victim in a gigantic competition of words. And so he is forced to rely on chance--the advice of friends--or his own limited experience. Dodge Brothers, Inc., have never, participated in this verbal competition. 4 They are content with the position they have , long maintained in the far more vital competition of honest value. They have continued steadily to improve thefar product, not only in comfort and beauty, but basically--beneath the body and hood where fundamental values lie. iYet they have not unduly stressed each betterment that has marked the steady progress of their motor car toward a higher perfection. And when economic conditions or greater sales have permitted them to reduce prices without reducing quality, they have announced the fact without excessive emphasis. Unexaggerated truth is not spectacular. But in the long run, implicit public confidence has been Dodge Brothers reward, and this they propose to preserve forever by continuing tobuild just a little better than they tell.
