Miss Dorothy Carr and Dewey Beck DAIRY REGULATION OF CORN-HOG PLAN Fifteen days of grace are allowed McHenry courtty corn-hog contract signers in Which they may make certain replacements in their dairy herds from time to time throughout the year, without violation of their agreements, Farm Adviser W. A. Herrington told the Plaindealer today. Farmers cooperating in the government's AAA corn-hog adjustment program, it is pointed out, can not keep more dairy cows for the production of milk or its products for sale during 1934 than the total number kept in either 1932 or 1933, whichever is higher. They can, however, make changes in their herds. Just ho^C this may be done is explained in an interpretation from the extension service of the College of Agriculture, University of till-' nois.' * . "If the contract signer in 1934 acquires new dairy cows or heifers, either by purchase or natural increase of the dairy herd, for the' purchase of replacing cows kept by him, such acquisitions need not be considered in the computation of the total number of dairy cows as referred to in Ad-, ministrative Ruling 35; provided that each cow replaced is sold or otherwise disposed of within 15 days after the acquisition or freshening of the dairy cow, or within 15 days after the freshening of the heifer." This"same interpretation also applies to computation of the dairy cow base. The obvious intent of this phase of the program is the prevention of any actual '/urease in the number of dairy cows kept for the production of milk for sale by the producer signing a contract. This interpretation, however, is designed to prevent unintentional violation of the contract in cases where normal changes in the make-up of the dairy herd might appear to involve a violation of previous regulations. * • orenc|e riumph By IDA .MELLON Speedy Fish* r The bonlto, a member of the mackerel family, Is one of the speediest of fishes.

UY IN >< pt time trouble ' <&VA" immmi O, by McCSur* Newspaper Srndloat* WNUSarvic* C>LORENCE had expected to have • " wonderful time when she went to visit her aunt and cousins In New York. But somehow when she arrived things were not Just what she had expected them to be. Hei^ cousins, Dolly and Joan, had changed, for one thing. They seemed to be so anxious all the time about their various social engagements. They were anxious, too, about Florence. "You mustn't be too nice to Dick Thomas," they told her, the night after Dick had entertained them all at dinner and the t'heater. "He's nice enoughr of course, but he hasn't any money, and It's useless to have a man like that hanging around all the time; it keeps other men away." "But--he must have spent a good deal," ventured their cousin from the country. "Probably you're right, Florence,'" Joan answered. "But It must have taken nearly every cent he earned last week to do It Let's see--we'll have to have him here for dinner some time soon, to pay him back for last night; let's ask him the night Peggy Frances comes, and get rid of both of them at once!" Florence didn't like that way of doing things. i 41 her home In a sleepy little southern town you were friendly with'people whether they had money or not. Florence knew without being told that her cousins wanted to get married-- and with them, getting married meant marrying a man who had money. To Florence it seemed hideous, but Joan and Dolly and their mother seemed, .to think it was the only thing for a girl to do. "You just have to have money," Joan told her once. "Without It life's Just impossible." One of the young men to whom Dolly was especially nice discovered that " Florence was the daughter of the famous Samuel Darwin, and devoted himself to her after that. Her annt told Florence that she ought to be delighted, that the young man was a great catch. Florence said nothing. He gave a dinner for Florence a month after she arrived in New York, at a very smart new restaurant It happened to be an evening when she was feeling especially homesick, when It seemed that she must pack her trunk In the morning and go straight back home. She was trying hard to pretend to enjoy herself, when, glancing up, she saw the face of the young man who was picking up the soiled dishes. "Why--why--" she turned In her chair, but he had gone off to the kitchen, and the next course was being served. Florence was very quiet until it was over, and the young man appeared again. Then, as he removed her plate, she laid her hand on his arm. "You're Billy James, aren't you?" she said, In her soft, southern drawl. "Yes--I am," he said, and 4»is voice had that same soft drawl In it "Florence!" exclaimed her aunt from across the table. "That's the bus boy!" "I don't care," Florence answered defiantly. "I used to know him down home--and--" He had come back for more dishes, reluctantly, She motioned him to her side. "Billy,, what are you doing here? Won't you come to see me?" she asked. "I'd really like to see you. Please?" "Why, Florence, I--I--" "Florence!" her . aunt exclaimed again, and the young man disappeared once more. He didn't come back •gain. "I haven't seen him for ages; he ran away from home," she said. "And how maybe I won't see him again. •Oh--'" And suddenly the other diners in the smart restaurant were amazed to See a pretty young girl in a white and jlilver frock rise from her chair and hurry across the dining room, to the" •door of the kitchen--and rush straight,, through' It, with the head waiter following. * "Billy!" she cried, as she caught up with him. "Why are you running away from me?" "Because I'm a flat failure," he told her. "I said I'd conie up_ here and make good, because I was sure I could sell that play I wrote down home. Well, I haven't sold it, and I had to earn a living somehow--you-shouldn't have spoken to me 1" "Don't be silly!" Florence.told him,' catching hold of his arm with both hands. "I don't care what you're do-, lng--1 love you, and I always will!" Florence's aunt scolded frantically, and tried to prevent the wedding which, nevertheless, took place the next morning. She stored scolding only when Billy's play was accepted, a week later. Then she told her friends, as Florence had told everyone from the start, "Of course I knew that dear Billy would succeed!" And she took credit to herself for the very pretty romance that grew out of Florence's speaking to the bus boy. There were other things that happened at the scout meeting besides having the whole meeting outside. They are as follow^: Marengo will bring its troop to McHenry and both will go swimming, have a track meet, a first aid contest, etc. May 19th is the date this excitement will appear lit 10:30; so let's all turn out and make a lot of new acquaintances. Here's a chance for some of you boys to pass a few outdoor tests on the overnight hike Friday afternoon at 4:30 p. m. sharp. Bring three blankets and ask your patrol leaders about the "Klondike Boll" and the food you should bring. Let's break a record by having thirty on the hike. What say?. Also, last but not least, we're going on a trip that may take the breath, away from some of us; that is, if the water is too cold. But that is beside the point. We're going to McCullom's Lake for a few water "games, swimming, etc. I don't believe 1 have to urge you boys to comie, because if they don't know what swimming is--well, 4et it go. You have y.our swimming tests to pass so better be present! "Old Sol" was beating down terribly as we started from Karl's pier on our boat hike. As the many weary hours moved by, we passed Johnsburg and then we ended up on Half Moon Island in the Bay, (we rowed all the way, too.) To our surprise, after eating, while hunting around in the bushes, w(e discoviered a "lost sole." It wasn't Robinson Crusoe or any other marooned person, but the bottom of an old shoe. Some joke, eh. Then back homie. And was I ever sunburned, whew. I still feel it All the other fellows do, too, for if you touch anyone they let out a yell- I certainly hope they have another hike like it, soon. You remember how we played "Capture the Flag" out at Sherman's, Hill. Well, we played it at the scout meeting, outside. You all know the rules, so I will not make, the repitition. Two games were played and. to say they weren't thrillers is far from wrong. Just ask any of the Scouts and hear about it for yourself. After the formal playing of "Taps," the parting thought of our Scoutmaster was, "Remember the Scout Oath and Law. Live up to them as you took it. Also remember the Court of Honor, May 26, in McHenry so try and get your badges." I hope I see you all at the hike and swimming trip.
