It is something of a come down for the glory-grabbers to find themselves forped by circumstances to take their places in line in our lawmaking factory. The first month of the current session passed"" without anything worth while accomplished. The White .House has indicated that there is no excuse for stalling on vital problems as Additional messages from this source are not contemplated in the near future. In fa^t, it is generally understood that the President and his advisers are awaiting the crystallization of sentiment on Capitol Hill before formulating ney public policies. • • ° Major Congressional committees are functioning normally- The scarcity of sensationalism is disclosed in the V TwieeSi T • 14 Tales ftsms rf v nm « »»piAi-iar ^ sf Twn Ago SIXTY YEARS AGO We would again remind our tax paying citizens that the collector is now ready to relieve them of their surplus, greenbacks, and can be found during the week at designated places.

The presiding officers find it difficult to maintain a quorum after the first roll call. It is small wonder that the legislators become coquettish occasionally in attempting to dress their proceedings with glamour which will attract audiences and headlines. The deliberations of the American Federation of Labor's Executive Council dt Miami this week is receiving more than passing interest from the administrative and legislative branches of the Federal government Kennedy, of Nebraska, and Miss Emma Udell, of Wilmot.

Q> D. er phone orders Opening of public hearings on amendments to the Social Security laws does not necessarily mean that quick action is due. The opinion is growing that the act will eventually be broadened to include many classes now exempt from its benefits. The lawmakers privately contend they will not be stampeded by the two pension lobbies now operating in full blast. The Townsendites are considered the most potent politically, a condition which has led to bragging about the "most powerful pressure group in Washington." Those resisting this influence are hopeful that the taxpayer who must foot the bill for pensions will become militant. The solons are worried about the prediction of trade union economists that another depression wil follow the present wave of government spending unless its intended stimulating effect on business is felt by 1940. Utilization of patronage as a club to force Congressional compliance with the wishes of the Administration may prove a two-edged sword. Resentment over the tactics employed in connection with the vote-getting on the relief bill is assuming definite form as spending agencies are made to realize that authorizations must be obtained from Congress. Federal jobs which could not be obtained previously by petitioning Democratic lawmakers were conditionally available on the eve of final voting. The punishment meted out to those who ignored the bounty offer has developed dissension which may provoke a curtailment of funds.^ High officials of important agencies appearing before Congressional committees for more money find many erstwhile supporters suddenly deaf to their appeals. Nominee^ are also experiencing more trouble in obtaining Senate confirmation indicating that White House endorsements are not always shatter-proof. Talk of town: that Mr. Roosevelt pulled a "boner" in appointing Ex- Representative Amlie of Wisconsin to the Interstate Commerce Commission without thorough inquiry into his economic views; that the Temporary National Economic Commission wiil ask for a million dollars to continue its work but will be satisfied with 75 cents on the dollar; that the proposed fortifications at Guam will cause mor^ headaches for diplomats than for ,the military arm of the government; that .funds will be quickly provided [for widespread enforcement of the Wage and Hour Act and much speculation over Mr. Justice Frankfurter's influence with his new colleagues in shaping court opinions.

Wal's Agricultural Warehouse, which, as soon as completed will be occupied by Mrs. E. W;. Howe as Millinery and dressmaking rooms. The residence of E. S. Wheeler, on Rose Lawn Farm, south of this village, narrowly escaped destruction by fire on Friday last. The fire caught from a defective chimney.

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Covalt of North Crystal Lake are now occupying the McOmber house on Park avenue, they having moved their household furniture last week. The Johnson twins at the masque ball at the McHenry House hall Wednesday evening were Misses Clara Worts and Madge Pfannenstill. The McHenry Canning factory is offered for rent for the season of 1909. TWENTY YEARS AGO With spring but seven weeks distant, iee men are beginning to get worried over the prospects of the season's crop. Judge C. P. Barnes performed his first wedding ceremony at the county seat last week. This is the first occa» ion of the kind, since talcing office. McHenry lost another of her pioneer settlers last Saturday, when Charles H. Parks passed away at his home on Waukegan street following a short illness. Dr. J. E. Wheeler has purchased the Mathias Steffes place on Main street, now occupied by the Peter W. Frett family.

Y. . :The Valley Forge Chaptfl The project of Valley Forge chapel originated in a sermon preached by Reverend W. Herbert Burk, D. D., at All Saints' church. Norristown, N. J., February 22. 1903. Mr. Burke said, speaking of Valley Forge: "Would that there we might rear a wayside chapel . . to be the Nation's Bethel for all days to come, where the American patriot might kneel in quest of courage and strength^' The* press of the country took up the suggestion and the project was launched. The first services in the uncompleted building were held February 22. 1905, Bishop Gibson of Virginia stating it to be the crowning glory of Valley Forge. • Elevation of Sahara Desert The Sahara desert is a tableland with an average elevation of 1,300 to 1,600 fe«t» . EXILE SEEKS CROWN Prince Henry, count of Paris and pretender to the extinct throne of France, made a dramatic secret airplane trip to a suburb of Paris to plead on the soil of his ancestors for the restoration of the monarchy. To make this plea, which he characterised a$ the only way to save France from decay or party dictatorship, he broke for the first time the law of exile which bars male members of the house of Boorbon- Orleans from France.

SULPHUR AIDS LIFE Earl Hill Winslow has discovered a special form of sulphur that actually is combined with water, something that heretofore has been unknown in chemistry. Some scientists and doctors believe that this solution is the form of sulphur used in the body. If such proves to be the case in further tests, Mr. Wilson, who began his studies by treating chickens, will have made another advance in the curbing of disease.
