We are informed that forty hands were laid off at the Terra Cotta factory last week. In the list were included five from this village. 1 For some time past there has been talk of opening a new road extending south from the Nick Bohr property on Broad street to Elm street.

Br <jT. «G Karklrmitn, Crop Extension 8p*- VlAltet, CoHeRft of Affrloultur#, Utllvel" V Bity of Illinois.--WNU Service. Extensive areas In central and north central Illinois where chinch bugs •have mined the corn or barley crops can best be planted to alfalfa or red .clover. Planting these legumes not *,onl.v would put a crop on land that .otherwise* would be Idl^ and costly, 'but also would be In line with the •national agricultural adjustment pro- •gram, which Is designed to reduce the acreage of grain crops. Hlinols farm- <ers already have adjusted their cropping systems to the point where they •ore growing a million acres more of legumes than they were In 1910-1914, but the acreage can be vastly extended fey seeding alfalfa and red clover on land where the corn or barley has been riddled by the chinch bugs, provided (the soil Is adapted. ft is important that : soil conditions In the'fleld be known beforejelther alfalfa or red clover is seeded." The land must be sweet and must have a sufficient amount of phosphorus^ Sim pie tests are available for determining this. The seed bed already has been prepared and' by occasional additional cultivations can he kept In excellent condition for seeding. Red clover and alfalfa can be seeded in mid-summer. This will help to solve the problem of rrop acreages and will make jt materially easier for farmers to* put a crop adjustment program Into effect for 1934. Clioosirtg something to replace corn that has been ruined by chinch bugs Is doubly difficult because the crop must be one that is immune to the bugs and that can, at the same time, be planted at late date. Sudan grass and millets, which could be seeded at this season of the year, are out of the question because they are highly favored foods of chinch bugs. . About the only cash grain crop available at this date is buckwheat. This will yield from ten to as many as twenty-five bushels to the acre, depending upon soil fertility and seasonal conditions. The best varieties are Japanese and Silver Hull. •I WEST McHENRY ILLINOIS Finds Phosphates of U. S. Worth Billions The $300,000,000 worth of phosphate rock which the phosphate deposits of the United States have yielded to date Is s small item compared to the total phosphate resources of this country. Workers of the bureau of chemistry and soils have completed a survey of America's phosphate resources which has been published by the United States Department of Agriculture. They estimate American phosphate resources at 6,200,000,000 long tons, worth approximately $18,000,000,- 000. fiecause the phosphrfte deposits of the United States form its most valuable natural fertilizer resource, and because phosphathc fertilizers are used more widely and in greater quantities by American farmers than fertilizers containing other plant-food elements, these findings are of interest to farmers and fertilizer manufacturers. This survey discloses the occurrence, production, and reserves of phosphate rock in the United States and presents detailed information on their chemical composition which Indicates the comparative value of all the domestic varieties of phosphate rock tb&t are of commercial Importance at the present time.

Taylor has closed her summer hotel at Riverdale, on Fox river near Pistakee lake, and has returned to Chicago, where she will spend the winter. The heavy rains of last, week caused considerable damage to our streets, and as a result the work of grading is being done all over again. Approximately five hundred invitations have been issued for the formal opening of the new home of the Spring Grove bank which is to take place Saturday, Oct. Z7. The new banking house is probably one of the finest to be found in any town the size of Spring Grove. The new electrical shop conducted by Walter Carey and James Doherty was opened in the M, M. Niesen build, ing on Green street the latter part of the week. Feed for Work Horses 5 Efficient work horses can be developed by feeding less grain than many farmers are inclined to use. At the Missouri experiment station It was found that one lot of colts which had a total of 4,238 pounds of grain and 5,723 pounds of hay each, up to the time they were three years old, made just as good work horses as those which had 7,638 pounds of grain and 4,664 pounds of hay. They dijfl not grow quite as fast, and were slower in developing, but there was less difficulty in keeping the colts sound in the feet and legs and as work horses they were Just as satisfactory as the ones that had srala,--Successful Farming.'. A-V The Miser's Program A miser Is so called because he lives miserably for the sake of saving and Increasing his hoard. ^ Millet for Hay Life sudan, millet makes a hay relatively low in protein content and has about the same adaptation. For best qualify hay it should be, cut early before the heads get' too plentiful and before they mature. The Japanese varieties yield heaviest, but the foxtail types like the German and Hungarian make a finer stemmed and more leafy hay. From 2T> to 30 pounds of.seed are required.

The expedition is financed by Diane Templeton, a beautiful young heiress.

He applied his eye. "What do you see?" •'A lot of little maggots." "Take a good look," said Dlatre. "A few million year? ago, one of them was you. One day--maybe a million years later--you floated upward-- you and many others. The wheel of life began to turn--a billion living things were snuffed out, a few were launched into a new cycle--and you among them, because you were strong. That's how life began. Ages went by, and you fot the muncies and cells that enbled you to think, and dream, and smile--you really became human when you learned how to smile." McCreary was unsmiling, almost harsh. "You read all that out of a book. You don't know what life is. You've Just played at it and read "Yeah. You practically.saved mylife, didn't you?" _ "Sure." Sc hie mm or replied.

"There are millions of years between you and what you Just saw under that microscope--but as far as you're concerned it's been a waste of time, because you don't know how to smile." "You're not kidding me." He pointed to the microscope. "That's just another one of your toys." "You're not kidding me," she declared. "You're getting Interested. Maybe I'm getting under your skin." "Maybe you're getting into my hair." Diane sighed and shook her Iftad. "You've a positive genius for pretty speeches, haven't you?" She took him by the arm. "Come on--I'll show you tome more of my toys." Diane took Steve on an inspection tour, showed him how to develop film, and many other things until he suddenly took her Into hie arms and gave her a kiss that almost broke her back. "Dooe this come under th* heading of science--or .art?" She inquired. "Whichever it is, you have definite possibilities." He .let her go. "Disappointed?" she asked. "Yes." "Why?" ••1 wanted to find out If you were the sort of woman 1 figured you-- and you are.** Diane was contemptv^ous. I suppose you'd have liked me better if I'd slapped your face." "Sure I would." She hauled-off and gave him a terrific slap In the faoe. McCreary smiled broadly. "Good heavens-- you do know how to smile!" she exclaimed. A call from Schlemmer to his cabin caused McCreary to leave. "What's the matter. Karl?" the lad asked as he entered the Captain's quarters. "One of tho crew has Just found fc'stowaway in the forward hold." "Well, whit about it? You talk 4s if cholera's Just broken out." Schlemmer pulled aside the drapes in his cabin. On the Captain's bed Lily was making herself comfortable imoking a cigarette. "Hi. Mac." she called cheerily, fixed ;t up lor her to stay ' aboard for the rest, of the trip," said Schlemmer. "Get this through your head. Lily said uiernly. "I stay aboard as long as you an' McCreary stay aboard. Where you go. I go." "Now, Lily--you gotta be reasonable. How. can we work together « If you don't trust ine?" As Schlemmer pleaded with the woman. McCreary left to find Diane, whom he |»ad left so suddenly. "1 trust you so much I'm never gpin' to let you out of my sight a^oin--not till the pay-off." She became bitter. "When you left me tioMin the bap In Frisco--" "You got me vvrong," he interrupted "l: was too tough a trip for a taken," she said. "Let's take it.w- Jackson focused his camera on McCreary and photographed him at work. The following day Schlemmer got the personnel of the expedition together at mess. "The place 1 tell you about iit oft Point Diego, in the Bahamas. Vait till you see what you find dere. Talk about specimens! Ve saw lots of them in the old submarine day*-- ven ve cruised near the bottom." "You must have had some interesting experiences in your sub days. Captain." Jackson remarked. "I'm going to pump you dry some day. You nrust have a lot to tell." "Sure--sure. But you'll see for yourself ven ve get there--if ve ever . get there." "Really. Captain Schlemmer. I; can't understand your impatience. I told you we were going there sia soon as we finished here," sakl Chapman. "Yah. But Ven vill dot be?" McCreary rose, trying hard to; control his fury. "What difference does it make? We've got all the „ time in the world." With that he left and went on deck to find men, working the pumps. "Who's down in my diving suit?" McCreary was harsh. He had given strict orders that no one should touch it. "Miss Tetnpleton." said the helper. "All right." He looked toward the water, reflected, and then said: "Ydu can blow. I'll tend bar for her." The helper left, turning the pump over to McCreary. The diver worked It for minute, meditating as he, . did. 7 len he took out his pipe and > startei to load it with tobacco. Thatf finished, he seated himself near the. pumps and watched the sea directly^,, below. The expression on his facer * was grim. There was a buzz orf the' undersea telephone McCreary • picked up the instrument. "What's the matter?" Diane asked. "Don't you get my rope signals?" "What do you want?" McCreary asked. "What's wrong with the"air supply? I'm getting dlizy." ,w "You've been dizzy all your life. How long have you been down there?" . £:. "About half an hour. I want to come up." "Well, come on up." "1 don't know how." "Then what did- you want -to go down for?" "Hoist me up--please'," "What's the rush? AS long as you've been down there, stay a while. You. can't call yourself a diver tMl you have the bends. I've known people to quit diving after they had a touch of 'em. 1 remember once in San Diego--can you hear me?"
