Schmitt and Family "THE PEN AND SWORD" LEONARD A. BARRETT "The sword.' Huv'ory mightier than the attests no truer stat em eat. Nu tions which relied l'or protection up on the sword, perished through the sword. Brute force lins never accomplished any results of permanent character. "He t h 'i t kflleth with th« sword must ,bi* k i l l e d w i t h t h » * sword." The cry Is every where heard, let us have peace. The the winter price for securing this peace is not to be paid by the use of arms. Many In terpreters of history agree thot the creation of firearms on so large a scale and the economic necessity ot disposing of them primarily led to the great war. Be that as It may--It goes without saying that no problem Is ever settled until it is settled right. The settlement of a problem depends -primarily upon the influence of thought expressed in public opinion when the pen becomes mightier than the sword. The most powerful influence for moulding public opinion today is the product of the pen, expressed through the public press. It is an astounding fact that according to the census of 1930, "the total daily and weekly distribution of newspapers was fifty-six million." It is reported that of the twenty four million families In America. two-fifths are now reading chain newspapers, and only a small portion o! the remaining three-fifths do not have dally access to the metropolitan press. The newspaper is the most vital and Important propagandist In the world, "and its Influence for good or bad Is unbelievably great. Our efforts at moral reform as wel! as international good will (a matter of spirit and menta-1 attitude) can be realized more through the moulding of public opinion by way of the pen than by the brute force of the sword.

Druce. Peter Pocuis, who lives across the road, happened to glance out of the window and discovered the fire- He ran over to the barn and succeeded in getting two. cows out of thi building, but the flames had made such headway that it was impossible to save the rest of the stock, which Included cows, horses and chickens. An automobile was also burned. AJ1 closed state banks in Lake county now are directly under William L. O'Connell, of Chicago, receiver in this area for Edward J. Barrett, state auditor of public accounts. The remaining ibank, the Wauconda Trust & Savings ban$ closed more than a year ago and was turned over to O'Connell on a court order early in the week. Prior to the O'Connell regime there Dennis Putman, of Wauconda and Elmer Clavey, of Deerfield, served ss receivers. Barrett announced when he became auditor that he would place all banks under the same receiver as a means of effecting a savings in the liquidation. Judge Edward D. Shurtleff last week Monday approved the sale of the Holmes Disappearing Bed company a Woodstock industry which has been operating under receivership, to Ronald N. Brown of Chicago for a consideration of $5,000. It is understood that a new corporation will be formed and the factory again will be opened after having been closed for two weeks. "Old Jim," the blind dependable draft horse that had drawn the milk wagon for the Antioch rrrilk delivery plant for the past fifteen years is no more. He passed away last week Saturday afternoon of heart trouble, according- to the diagnosis of a veterinarian. He had started out as usual Saturday morning on his milk route, driven by Eugene Sheehan, employe of the dairy. During the trip he stumbled and fell once, but recovered himself and continued his route, until he reached the shed at the plant, when he dropped to the ground. Jim had reached the venerable age of twentyfive years, equalling in relative longevity that of a person of ninety years. Albert Hasenbank, 83, carpenter and farm hand employe in Harvard for twenty-eight years, met an accidental death by being struck by an automobile driven by Wm. MeCauley, Jr., of Harvard, Saturday night, March 17, according to the verdict returned by the coroner's jury. Young McCaulev was returning to his home in that city about 10 o'clock when Hasenbank, he t.lJ i.l_ »_ • '•> l, , ; f . TIFFANY ANNOUNCES FOR REPRESENTATIVE Lester T. Tiffany, of Waukegan, candidate for state representative from the Eighth district on the Republican ticket, was a visitor in McHenry Tuesday of this week. Mr. Tiffany is the present sheriff of Lake county. He has pledged himself to fight for Republican principles and for the best interests of the eVitire district, but to remain independent and free of obligation to political ihachines or bosses. His platform consists of securing legislation in reducing crime in Illinois; to support the proposal to pass laws making appeals in criminal case3 more difficult; installation of radios in state police squad cars; permitting women to serve on juries; legislation making it easier for municipalities deiring to own their own utilities. Being a member, of the Pure Milk association and a practical farmer, Mr. Tiffany is also in favor of all measures which will relieve the taxburdened and struggling farmers of the district.- ' ' :v. -.•-V:--.: • , First Petroleum lii^ Oliio . Petroleum was first found in Ohio, and It is believed in the world, in what is' Noble county, by Robert McKee, an early pioneer who struck a crevice containing oil while drilling for salt frater.

Apparently the man was confused by the lights of a motor car which stopped before crossing Route 19, on which MeCauley was driving north, enroute to the Smith farm, the former R. C. Uecke homestead, it was disclosed in testimony presented the coroner's jury. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Limbert near Terra Cotta avenue in Crystal Lake, known as the Kingsley property, was broken into recently and household furnishings of value stolen. The Limberts are spending in Florida. A farmer across the road from the Limbei t home noticed that the shades had been drawn. He notified H. E. Tober, Mr. Limbert's brother-in-law. Upon investigation, it was found that entrance had been gained by breaking a panel of glass in the rear door and then unfastening the Yale lock. Attorney Walter F. Kelley of Crystal Lake narrowly escaped death about 9:30 o'clock Tuesday night of last week on a highway between Kenosha and Waukegan when another machine traveling at a high rate of speed, forced him from the pavement. Although rendered unconscious from a blow on the head, Mr. Kelley escaped with minor cuts and bruises. Mrs. Katherine Luebbe, one of Lake county's oldest residents, passed away Friday at her home in Half Day at the age of 96. She had shown remarkable activity in spite of her advanced age and until two weeks ago she had done the housework for two sons with whom she lived in Half Day. Two weeks ago while busy around the home she tripped and fell" breaking her hip an injury usually fatal for persons of advanced age. Since that time she had failed steadily and death occurred at the home at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon.
