F. Kuecker, president of the McHenry County Corn- Hog Control Association. Many producers in this county learned of the value of such slips of paper when collecting their supporting evidence at the time of the cornhog sign-up campaign in March. However, similar evidence will be even more essential when cooperating producers are asked to prove that thoy have carried out their part of the AAA contract. Compliance evidence will be required some time prioi^to February 1, 1935, when the final hog benefit payment is to be made, according to word received from the extension service of the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. filing away sales slips and receipts in a good Fiafe place as they are acquired is much easier and takes less time than might be required in collecting compliance evidence later on, it is pointed out. The special AAA farm record book which has been furnished all contract signersJn the county will be of value in showing compliance and should bo kept up to date, but all sales and purchase statements should be saved in addition, explains President Kuecker. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES "Mortals and Immortals" was the subject of the Ivesson-Sermon in all - : Churches of Christ. Scientist, on Sunday, May 20. , The <1 olden Text was, "As we have . *. borne the image of the earthy, we ^all also bear the image of the Wfavenly"' (I Corinthians 15:49). Among the citations which comprised the lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Blessed the man that trusteth in the Ix>Fdr • and whose hope the Lord is. For he aha 11 be as a tree planted by the winters, and that sproadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comelh. but her leaf shall tW green; and shall not be careful la the year of drought, neither shall cease from vielding fruit" (Jeremiah \ 17:7,8). ~ The Lesson-Sermon also in- . eluded the following passages from tie Christian Science textbook, •"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "In divine Science. Cod and the real man are inseparable as divine Principle and idea. . . . Mortals will disappear, and Immortals, Or the children of God, will appear as Hie only and eternal verities of •an" (p. 476). INDUSTRIAL PLANTS BLAMED, LOW WATER A$out two weeks ago six million fish, of which 60,000 were 10 inches long and the rest fingerlings, were dumped into Fox river at various points. They have been. dying by thousands, trapped below the dams in the riVer as the water level lowers. The fish are bass, wall-eyed pike, blue gills and crappies. The combination of drouth an<l misuse of water by industries, along the Fox river hag interfered with fishing during the early season along the entire stream, it is said. <y It has been stated tha^ people along the banks of the river have been catching the fish with their hands or killing them with clubs in the shallow pools of the river bed at points soutii of here. There are i tea dame between McHenry and Aurora and State Senator Arnold Benson of Batavia declared that in some cases the water in pools above the dams" has fallen 40 inches below the crests. Benson also said that the fish-ways along the sides of the dams are in the worst of condition. The game fish, always fighting up stream are unable to make headway and are caught in the shallow pools below the dams. The drying up of the river by industrial use is due to the fact that the' water so used is drained from above the dams during the day so that at right the water may be several inches below the dam level'. Consequently no water is flowing over the dams into the course of the river. At night the gates of the mill races are closed and the dams are allowed to fill up, but the water does not reach a volume to rise over the crest of the dams, and consequently the stream bed is kept dry. Interesting variations of depths of waterflow over the tops of the dams in the Fox river are indicated in observations taken from Monday, May 7. to Sunday, May 13, by the engineers of the state waterways division. At the McHenry dam on the Monday. morning indicated, the reading showed two inches below the dam crest; in the afternoon the surface was 1% inch below the top. On the following sunday the reading in the morning showed a flow of one half inch over the top. and in the afternoon two inches over the top. Throughout that week the flow Varied from two inches below the dam top to two inches over the top. On Friday afternoon of that week the higher level was 3*4 inches over the top; two inches below the crest was the lowest reading that week. Observations at other dams down river show interesting data, also. Despite the state law prohibiting power users from diverting the water when it is standing six inches below the dam crest, places were found where water was being used while it was standing eight to twelve inches below the crest. As a result the. river bed has been found entirely dry in places between the dam and the outlet of the mill race. The worst conditions were found at Batavia, Elgin and Yorkville. MEMORIES Reveries of childhood days were re • vived Sunday by the visit of a lifelong friend not seen for several years and pleasant have been the memories occasioned by this meeting. We are impressed by the swift flight of tinne as we recall the good times of by-gone days which seem but as yesterday. Yet how many events have intervened -- the making of a home, the rearing of a family and shaping their lives for the future, heartaches, sun and shadow. All these and more have been crowded into the years which seem to us so brief and impress us anew with the truth of the old adage" Tempu3 Fugit," written over the door of th»? little jewelry shop, also a thing of the past. But with the urge of present day activities crowding upon us the days that are past remain ever merqories.

Record for 1933 Shows but One Crime Unsolved. London.--Scotland Yard had only one unsolved murder during 1933,'a' year which in all probability will be recorded as the most memorable in the history of the Metropolitan police force. Although the policies of Lord Tren2 chard, commissioner of police, hare been violently assailed anil ridiculed In the .press and hy caricaturists, progress has been made with his Unique schemes'of reorganization. The year saw the beginning of what will prove to be a complete reorganization- of the wholfc 'Scotland Yard's administration. But what has been of more International Importance Is its initiation of plans for clpser co-operation , between the dctej^tve forces of the Yard and its conr ifintal neighbors. For tllPyfirst time in flatory Scotland Yard officers flew tcrAmsterdam to meet and co-operate with officers from Belgium, France and Germany, and in so doing brough^Jjo Justice a clever garfg of international thieves. The success of the idea was not confined* to forgers. The whole ramification of international crime was discussed, and a "working arrangement." in code, of course, was established, .which provides the- diiTerent police forces with a complete itinerary of international Jewel thieves. Throughout the year there were 21 murders, 15 of them occurring In the first half of the year. Eleven other cases were those of murder and suicide. The remainder were mainly the murders of children, which aroused intense public feeling. On one or two occasions during the year gunmen made their appearance, but their careers were brief and their sentences long, one receiving 14 years' penal servitude for shooting at a policeman. Apart from actnal crime, the greatest Interest was In the alterations that took place within the force itself. Lord Trenchard continued the work begun by Lord Byng of "cleaning" the force, and during the year many officers, some of high rank, were dismissed from the force; 1 Huge Quantities of Gas Wasted in Texas Fields . Houston, Texas.--Enough natural gas goes to waste each day ip the Kasi Texas oil field to supply, fuel for Cleveland and New Orleans. 1 The computations were made from oil men's estimates that approximately 1<N>,000,000 cubic feet of gas is burned daily In flares lighted near producing oil wells. The gas, after forcing the oil from the well, Is piped off to the side and buried as a safety and a health measure. - Often many wells are linked in a network of pipes that carry the gas to a central, point where it burns in a continuous flame. From approximations It was computed the wasted gas would supply fuel for the average dally demand of a city of about 1,700,000 population. Texas' five largest cities, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth and El Paso, have a combined population of 1,058,000. Toss In ten cities the slate of Galveston and gas burners In all of them could be lightM with the waste fuel from the East Texas wells. At Beaumont, where approximately 2,000,000 cubic feet of gas Is burned daily in flares in the surrounding district, efforts have been made to Interest communities in laying pipelines to the fields and bargain for waste gas to be used for fuel. P. M. LAW Scientist Seeks Snake Venom for Cancer Cure Bombay.--A French scientist. Robert Hemardinquer has sirrived here with an unenviable task to perform. He wants to collect a kilogram--roughly just over two pounds--of snake venom. Experiments in the Pasteur Institute in Paris have led scientists to hope that snake venom may be used successfully in treatment of cancer. The poison, mixed with other drugs is Injected into the infected part. As yet, investigations are In the experimental stage, and more venom is needed to continue the work. " Hemardinquer says he needs 5,000 snakes for the required amount of snake-bite poison, so he has decided to collect 500 snakes. A snake farm has been established at a scientific institute here: Right of Teacher - to Paddle Upheld Lancaster, I'a.--The eight of a school teacher to administer an old-fashioned paddling to unruly students was upheld .recently by a Jury in Quarter Sessions court when it acquitted Mrs. Ruth YVeitzel, a .country school teacher,- of charges of spankfng twelve-yearold John "Wasserlein. The youngster testified from the stand that the teacher "broke a paddle on me and bounced me up and down on the chair, hard." Then schoolmates also testified. John was said to have become involved in a fight when he attempted to separate tfO other iyouths who were fighting.. In charging the Jury. Judge Benjamin C. Atless said • "I am still oue of the old-fashioned kind who believes that pad' dling is necessary."- STRONGER BUSINESS AND STRONGER BANKS ByJ?. M. LAW V v Jhttiiiemt American Bankers Association, FNURING the crisis when confidence was shattered, hankers were properly concerned'in liquidity. Their main thought was to prepare tr meet a n y d e m a n d f o r w i t h d r a w a l o f funds. They were more Interested therefore in collecting lorns than' ii. making them. For this they cann o t b e J u s t l y blgmed. It was a proper procedure. jSow that con-" fldence has hfen so largely re: stored banks will naturally resume a " more normal lending pofic^. This does not mean they will or should extend loose or unsound credit, but that in the utmost good faith hankers will per form their proper "part in recovery by a sympathetic and/Ljnstructive atti tude in the making oi loans. Nor should commercial b:u ks make capital or long time loans, for the reason that their loans are made from funds derived from deposits payable for the most part on demand. When the return ,of confidence is further on its way, business men will find need for credit in making their plans. Then good borrowers, who for the most part have been so conspictt ously absent from the market, will return. They will be warmly welcomed by the banks. Business Men's Fears Business men have not yet laW ali their fears. They worry about what Congress may or may not dp. They con cern themselves about a trend toward control of business by government. They fear taxes beyond their power to pay. These are real sources of worry and when they are reassured along these lines they will be more inclined to take a fresh look at the future a&d to make plans to go forward. As a matter of fact there are tangible evidences of retovery. The Federal Reserve Board officially has stated that prices, wages, business activity and production were back to the high est peak since early in 1931. Commer cial failures in the United States are being cut alrtiost in half as compared with the same period last year. It has "been reported that the decline in export and import trade was definitely checked in the middle of 1933 and re^ 'placed during the last half of the year by a substantial recovery movement. AmdPg favorable factors is the improved condition of the banks, it is doubtless true that the bataking structure of the country has never been in a sounder, stronger and more liquid con dition than it is today. My authority for that statement is the Comptroller of the Currency. No longer is there any fear or thought of batfk runs. Depositors once more know that their money is safe and the banker, thrice armed in the knowledge of his own Btrength, is looking forward. - Training for Bankers The American Bankers Association has been active for many years training young men and women in order that they may be duly qualified for the business of banking. Standard courses are furnished with able and experienced teachers. This work Is done under the direction of the American institute of Banking Section of the association. Over two hundred chapters, or local banking schools, are in active operation throughout the country and "thousands of the younger generation of bankers are being graduated each year. These students are taught not only banking practices and policies, but they are also well grounded in the highest ideals and standards of business ethics. A proposal is now under consideration to establish a central school, which will offer advanced or graduate work to a selective list taken from those who have completed the standard courses --F. M.

C/ .. j Stores Fat In Tail • The gila monster, famous North American lizard which makes its home in the desert regions of Arizona and Mexico, stores up fat in its blunt tail during periods when food is plentiful. After a period of steady .feeding, during which the tail becomes much enlarged, the animal Is capable of going without food for several months, subsisting during this time upon the accumulajt# 4 £atty tissue stored op In It* Although banks anJ trust companies have been the largest borrowers from the Reconstruction Financo Corporation, they have exceeded all other classes of borrowers in tl^ rapidity of their repayments. Since the inception of the R. F. C. in February, 1932. loans have been authorized by it to 7.080 banking institutions in the amount of Ji.995.000.000. Of this sum *442.000,000 was not taken by the borrowers, the actual advances being $1.5S3.000,000 Repayments against these advances through April 30, 1934, "aggregated {925.000.000, or about 60 per cent. The ratio of repayments for all classes of borrowers lias been only about 37 per cent. These rapid repayments by the banks are taken by competent observ; ers as a strong indication of returning normal financial and bankUlg venditions. : v' " - /': Bankers Finance Scholarships The American Bankers Association Foundation for Education in Econom ics has since its establishment in 1928. awarded 354 college loan scholarships, the total loans repaid in that period being 1262,000 and the amount; now outstanding $815,900. The total investments of its funds are $540,000. POTPOURRI War Over a Beard The slyi.ying of a beard once caused a war between France and England which lasted, intermittently, 300 years.

The French throne was then claimed by her descendants and the war started. O Western Newspaper thUe*. Dog Is Pulled Out by Water Spaniel Clearfield, Pa.--A little water Spaniel recently rescued a larger dog whicl/had fallen through ice on the Susquehanna river here, according to «. H. Lynn, Clearfield. Lynn was attracted to the scene when he saw three dogs running about and barking excitedly. As he sought a pole to rescue the dog Struggling in the sjtream the Spaniel walked out On the ice, which was toq thin to support a man. After several attempts, in Which the Spaniel was forced to retreat as the ice broke beneath its feet, it seized the dog by the collar and; dragged It from the water. . VOLO GOLD VANISHES ON TRIP FROM AFRICA Thieve# Get $32,556, Leave Cement in Its Place.? London.--A "sensational gold robbery- In transit between Bulawayo, Rhodesia, South Africa, and London was discovered when boxes carried by the Union Cattle liner, Balmoral Castle, were opened at the London branch of the Standard Bank of South Afriva. The gold was part of a shipment worth $10,000,000 consigned by the Standard bank branch at Bulawayo. The missing bars weighed 930 ounces and Were worth *&i'2,r>."0. The boxes in which the gold should have been found were filled with cement and sand, worth 10 cents and weighing exactly the same as the hijacked gold. Their outward' appearance was the same as that of other boxes of gold in the cargo. Steamship representatives said the substitution could not have taken place on the ship. They claimed it must have occurred either on the train from Bulawayo to Cape Town, or from Southampton to London. On both trips, however, the boxes were heavilj guarded. The ship arrived reecntly at Southampton. The case was turned over to Scotland Yard by bank officials. Cape Town police were also notified to launch an investigation at that end. The gold was boxsd and weighed at the South African mines, after which It was guarded continuously until It was placed on the ship.- On its trip front the mines to the ship It was locked up, as is cusfomary, by means of intricate devices operation of which was known only to trusted employees. On the ship the gold was looked in the strong room. Ship's officers said the room was not opened until the liner reached England. Police and dock oflicials watched the entire unloading process. Dog.
