If you didn't, you don't know what you are missing. This year the band, under the direction of W. N. Sears of Barrington, is better than ever. The members and their director have put forth a great effort to be able to give their best at these recitals and certainly would appreciate seeing you tonight and every Thursday night for the remainder of the season. A few years ago people used to flock to these concerts, but recently the interest seems to have lagged and the attendance has diminished considerably. It seems a shame, since these musicians are striving to the utmost to'"present the type and the variety of selcetions which will please everyone. "Marty*' Conway is always on hand too to offer his vocalizations of beautiful Irish tunes and other songs that you delight in hearing over and over again. So come on out and show the eroup that you appreciate their efforts. They will appreciate your interest. M'HENRY HAS PROSPECTS OF 1 AN AR PORT FARM POPULATION MACHES HIGHEST . MARK IN 24 YEARS Washington, D. C., American farm population on Jan. 1 was estimated by the agricultural department today at 32,245,000, the largest in 34 years. . t The estimate is 186,000 more than a year ago and represents an increase of 2,076,000 for the decade, 1930-*3$. The highest farm population figure ever reported was 82,530,- 000 in im. IB* department said farms lost 2,» 179,000 persons through migration daring the 1980s, but that an excess of rural births over deaths more than offset losses through movement to urban areas. Births were reported at 7,361,000 and deaths at 3,813,000 during the last decade. Lack of opportunity in cities may add 2,000,000 more persons to the rural population by 1950, the department said. The department said that normal requirements In farm production for both domestic and foreign-outlets now can be met with approximately 1,600- 000 fewer workers on farms than in 1929--which, with their dependents means 3,500,000 fewer persons . Farm employment was said to have decreased more than 300,000 between 1980 and 1940s i ONLY TEN PEIRCENT OF CARS EQUIPPED FOR NIGHT DRIVING Ninety percent of the automobiles operating on Illinois highways do not have adequate brakes and lights for night driving at speeds of more than 45 miles an hour.

Hughie Kirk, local flyer, is being blamed no end, while, he declares that he has not been responsible for all this noise-making. Aside from all that, perhaps you did not' know that Kirk was Mc- Henry's own gift to the air. He makes the startling revelation that he has been flying for over two years, unbeknown for quite awhile to his family and friends. He has received two licenses to pilot a plane already Jind is working for his third one. # Locate At DesPlaines New Kirk is right in the business. He and four air-minded Chicagoans organized the Central Flying corpor ation this spring and have located at the Skyway airport at DesPlaines. Here they give student flying lessons and also passenger rides. According to a report from the McHenry partner, business is prospering.' The company owns three 1940 planes and have ordered two more.

MILK DEALERS CONFIRM LOSSES At the opening session of the «*llt parley at the Palmer Houae evidence was introduced showing that the home delivery of milk cannot be maintained in Chicago unless wage cuts are put into effect immediately. A three-man milk arbitration board has until August 23 to gather evidence and hear testimony from the Associated Milk Dealers and the Milk Wagon Drivers Union relatives to a proposed reduction in weekly base wage scales. With more than twenty separate exhibits, scores of charts and hundreds of pages of data. Attorney Ernest J. Ballard Tuesday sought to clarify the position of the milk dealers. U. of C. Expert Testifies Interpreting the evidence was Dr. Releigh Stone, economist <>f the University of Chicago. Dr. Stone attempted to trace, the mushroom growth of milk stores and roadside stands through a milk price war that found housewives paying 4H cents more a quart for milk delivered at the door than for milk purchased at ststions. As a result of the price differential, home delivery of milk declined 46 per cent between 1930. and 1940. Dr. Stone asserted. The ad4td expense m delivering milk, tb« aa#Mmist said, Is dde to present high wages" paid milkmen. Attorney David Riskind. reproaenting the drivers, said he would seek to prove the associstion's figures are disleading. The union, Riskind said, will submit data te prove wager eats are not necessary to solve the pfeeant problem. Said Attorney Ballard: "The troth is that the industry h*f reached the point where a solution can no longer be postponed, and by that I mean there is going to be a solution inevitably one way ar another."
