The Woodstock girls' team is and always has been one of the strongest in the county and they came to McHenry expecting to keep up their good record, but the McHenry girls are out to win the championship of McHenry couftty and it begins to look as t.ho they might succeed, as their record is not marred by a single defeat.

Webber, one of our best scientists and the head of the Cornell college of agriculture in New York, told of the money value of education to the farmer. A Cornell man visited many farms and secured from .Vi.'l men accurate data of the farmer's income fmm his own labor deducting all ex­ penses, hired lalior and five per cent interest on capital invested, from the gross receipts, besides allowing for the depreciation in apparatus, tools, etc. He found that the .'19N farmers who had attended only the district schools had an average income of $318 annual­ ly; while lti."> who had attended high school had an income of $(522 and the 10 college men earned $H4". Arranged in groups having equal capital the labor incomes are: District MoxV Capital Schooling Education $2,000 and under $ 18" $ 28tl 2,001 to $4,000 241 275 4,001 to $(>,000 ;198 4«t> <i,001 to $S,0U0 3MT> 709 8,001 to *10,000 tilH 79C lo.ool to $ir>,uK) r,2."» 1,091 Over $15,000 1,054 1,272 In every group the men having the highest education make the best use of their capital.

It suited my case as though made just for me." For dyspepsia, indigestion, jaundice and to rid the system of kid­ ney |x)isoiis that cause rheumatism, Electric Bitters has no equal. Try them.
