Old Timers and residents of McHenry who are interested in a museum for* this cjty are continuing to discuss possible plans for the foundation of such » project this summer and are hoping to gat more local people, as well as former residents, interested in suggesting plans and way and means of sponsoring the undertaking. While everyone agrees that a museum would be a- worthwhile addition to the several attractions of this vicinity, yet there are many important questions to be decided such as a proper room: or building to house the exhibit and a committee of citizens who would aa$ume the responsibility of the care of the many old and valuable keepsakes. At a meeting of the city council several months age, a committee of aldermen was appointed by the mayor to assist in plans for a museum and it would seem that if taken over by the city the museum would be assured of reliable sponsors, Who wcMild promote and safeguard its welfare. Another plan that has been advanced by promoters of the museum is that of combining it and the library under one head, making a combined institution that would need a building for its headquarters. The public library is growing rapidly in popularity and size and before very long, it will, no doubt, outgrow its present quarters, needing larger space to accomodate the increasing number of volumes.- - • During tha Centennial the number of antiques, old books, pictures and documents numbered more than 4,000 and made up a collection of great value and interest. 7 It is hoped that in the near future many of these interesting heirlooms may again be assembled into a permanent exhibit which will be a valuable asset to the people of McHenry, The Old Timers' Club will be glad to hear from local residents, former residents and anyone interested, expressing their views and suggestions concerning the museum. \ USE GOOD EGGS TO GET GOOD CHICKS Incubators Cannot Produce . Without Quality. 4 sw 8. State Colli Deantyne. Head North CllWito liege Poultry Department. WNU Service. " Some poultrymen are more optimistic than businesslike in their methods. This is especially true of those who assemble all kinds of eggs, good or bad; for hatching purposes. You can't get more out of your incubator than you put into it, and poultrymen are urged to be more careful in selecting eggs for hatching. Hatching eggs should come only from high quality, healthy, vigorous birds. They should be normal in shape, have well calcified shells, and weigh more than 23 ounces to the dozen. They should be gathered several times a day and stored in a warm place to avoid chilling, as eggs that have chilled too much will not produce good chicks. A temperature of 40 to 60 degrees is best. Hatching eggs should not be kept in storage for more than seven to ten days. The incubator should be carefully cleaned, disinfected, and tested before the eggs are placed inside. Likewise, the brooder and brooder house should be cleaned and tested before any chicks are put in to grow. The brooder should be started in'operation at least 24 hours before the arrival of the chicks, so as to give it time to become evenly warmed throughout. Destroy subnormal or cull chicks. Do not brood more than 300 chicks in one unit, and allow a square foot of floor space for every two chicks. Watch the temperature closely; overheating is worse than a slight chilling.

F. Parrish, extension poultryman at the North Carolina State college. It is during the winter months that baby chicks are hatched and started. The grower who pays careful attention to the selection of quality eggs for hatching and then feeds and manages the chicks properly is in a good position to make a substantial profit from his birds. However, the fanner who uses haphazard methods of selecting hatching eggs is likely to get a devitalized crop of pullets And cockerels. If possible, the poultryman should purchase his chicks from an accredited hatchery. Then the chance of having a poor quality flock will be minimized. HE'S SO i Mating Purebreds, Mongrels The practice of mating purebred cockerels with mongrel females is carried out in many instances, but is not recommended, says an authority at the North Carolina State college. The mongrel birds are already of questionable value and, while there may be an increase in egg production, better and more rapid results would take place if the mongrel females were replaced with purebred chicks. Where chicks are bought be sure that they come from an accredited hatch* ery andeggs from a blood tested flock. •;-T--i-- i- I ji ; v Poultry Notes Market eggs at least twice a week.

Poultry on many farms are managed principally by women. • • • A common mistake made in heating laying houses is to provide too much heat. • , • • Artificial light in the poultry house is important to prevent a molt in early-hatched pullets. • • • Chicken mesh wire should be placed over the dropping boards so that the hens cannot walk on them. • • • Poultrymen say hens cannot maintain a high egg production dur ing winter months unless they are properly managed. * * * The poultry population of Massachusetts increased 30.7 pier cent between 1930 and 1935. Six million chickens are now raised annually in the state and two and a hail millions are kept for layers. • • • __ Litter from poultry pens has about four times the fertility strength as ordinary barnyard manure. * • * No feed should be fed except in hoppers or troughs, and waste from milk and water containers should be reduced to a minimum. • • • Records kept for five years on Ohio poultry flocks show that the money received for eggs makes up 87.8 per cent of all income from the flock. ^ CHIEF RANGER ENTERTAINS Mrs. Frank Blake, Chief Ranger of St. Clara's Court, No. 594, W.

Make a refreshing pillow for the family invalid by sewing a small pad of dried everlasting flowers, scented with a big handful of potpourri, dried lavender and rose geranium leaves. Use rinses of camomile flowers, the same from which Peter Rabbit concocted a tea, to soften the hair after a shampoo. Dried southernwood or "Lad's Love" placed in a closet will not only keep moths away, but impart a pleasant scent to the garments. Sprigs of rosemary in the bride's bouquet signify never failing happiness. And it must be remembered that rose vinegar, a favorite lotion of colonial days,' may be made by pouring pure vinegar over a jar of dried rose petals. Clean linen Wrung out in this refreshing liquid is given by come as a certain cure to aching heads.--Washington Post. How Lightning Rods Must Be Arranged for Service Putting up a modern lightning rod system is neither expensive or difficult. In general, six points are to be observed, and, according to an authority in the Boston Blobe> are as follows: ~ First, the rods must be either of copper or well galvanized iron. Second, they must be heavy, large enough to carry lightning away harmlessly. Third, they must end .in sharp, noncorrosive points at the two ends of the roof and about the chimney or steeple. Fourth, they must be a complete unit with mechanicallly and electrically tight joints. Fifth, they must completely cover the building. Sixth, they must be well and frequently grounded--that is, at least four corners of the system must be carried down into the earth in such a way that the ends of the rods or wires will be permanently connected with wet ground no matter how dry the season; a single connection to a water pipe is not good enough. How Radio Beam Aids Pilot It is a series of signals sent from an airport which aids in keeping the pilot on his course. Wearing earphones, the pilot listens to the signals, which are the two code letters A (dot dash) and N (dash dot). If the pilot is a little off his course to one side the A signal will predominate in signal strength. If he is a little off to the other, he will hear the N signal more distinctly. If he is exactly on his course the signals will merge into one long dash. Therefore, without even glancing at the beacon light ahead, or if poor visibility obstructs it altogether, he may follow a direct course by flying his Ipftane so that at all times the long dkh predominates in his eerphoneft ^. Hew Moi ey Is Upside Down The backs of money are printed first. It occasionally happens that before the faces are printed a sheet of backs becomes reversed and so the faces are printed in the wrong direction. If detected by examiners such notes are destroyed as imperfect. If not detected the notes reach circulation with the faces reversed. It is a matter of no importance as to the value of the note and. merely illustrates the fiict that notwithstanding the expertness of the printers and the diligence of the examiners, such notes occasionally are passed. How to Select WaUpaper In choosing wallpaper it is~wis# to consider the effect produced in large areas. Little spoU of color may look attractive on the sample sheet, but on a wall they take on 'tremendous importance. Many a room has been spoiled by a mistaken idea about the propex scale of the design in the room. It is always a good idea to hang two or three strips together before the final decision is made, to ascertain as closely as possible the all-over effect.

The statue was erected oi^ the boundary line between Chile and Argentina, in Upsallata Pass, to commemorate the peaceful settlement of a boundary dispute in 1902. The dedication ceremonies took place March 13, 1904. How Santa Anna Diec Santa Anna, Mexican revolutionist, dictator, president and soldier, died in Mexico, "poor, broken and blind," two years after he returned from exile in 1876. He was then eighty^one years old and for more than Half his lifetime had been regarded by a large section of his countrymen as their great national leader. Bow Transplanting Aids Trees Transplanting young evergreens does not do them any harm if it is properly done. In fact, some authorities state that evergreens that have been transplanted several times are most likely to thrive because the successive plantings stimulate the growth of small roots; Mr. and Mrs. P.
