These Negroes were landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619, where they were purchased as slaves. The second voyage of the Mayflower itself to American shores, brought a load ox African slaves. Negroes fig-, ured in the very earliest history of the Americas, as Columbus is supposed to have had a Negro pilot, Pedro Nini, in charge of one of his ships, and through the Spanish explorers and their accompanying Negro assistants and servants, Mexico was early penetrated by Negroes.

Lively action shots, like this, are taboo for the slow lens--but the fast lens and fast shutter get them easily. IP YOU have a fine, fast lens on your camera, it's something like having a motor of ample power in your automobile. The reserve capacity is therevwhen you need it-- for emergencies, unusual situations, suddea traffic problems, steep grades and bigger hills. There are two "hills" in photography. One is fast action. The other is adverse lighting--shade on your subject, dull cloudy days, weak light in extreme late afternoon, and some after-dark subjects. The fast lens--always fitted to a "shutter of excellent speed--takes care of you on both these hills. * Of course, if you stick to subjects that will stand still in bright sunshine, the slow lens is all right. Millions of fine snapshots are tak«n with slow speed lenses every year --and when you're careful to choose ^suitable subjects and lighting conditions, good results are certain. But--who is willing to stick to "motionless" subjects? How about the baby, who is best for pictures when he is in a lively mood? How about the pets? How about Ann. skipping rope or Bill at basket* ball practice, sledding, or skatingt How about parades--games on youf picnics or outings--and natural, x unposed shots of friends? No; for ~ all-around ttse, and really good pick tures, a fast lens is the prescript tion. And I, for one, believe it quickly pays for itself in snapshot satisfaction. Some amateurs think it's harder to use a fast lens, but that isn't really true. For ordinary shots, set^- the lens at f/11, use a shutter speed of 1/25 second, and leave the focus at 15, 20, or 25 feet. When light is weak, or when you're using a high shutter speed to "stop" fast motion, just use a larger opening; and set the focus for the distance from camera to subject. For better pictures--wider suh^ Ject range--more safety and peace of mind in shooting subjects that may move--a fast lens and fast shutter are the thing. You'll real* ize that the very first time you use them. • John van Guilder M "Every 20 years the cfcir. length is a fraction over two feet." MR. FARMER!

MARY BLAKE, Administrator. (Pub. September 29 - October 3 - 10) Wm. M. Carroll, Attor Woodstock, Illinois NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE By virtue of an order and decree of the County Court of McHenry County, Illinois, made on the petition of the undersigned JOHN KARLS, Administrator of the Estate of CHARLES KARLS, deceased, for leave to sell the Real Estate of said deceased, on the 3rd day of September 1940, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That on Thursdayv th 31st day of October h TtOOKmO FORWARD (by Franklyn Waltman) Our contemporary, the Democratic Publicity Director, in his weekly letter, expresses irritation because it has been suggested that Candidate Roose- Ivelt's bid for a third term violates ievery tradition of American government and is a step toward dictatorship. With tears in his aging eyes, he expresses pain that anyone should ithink that Candidate Roosevelt would Jgrab off power. "What kind of a dictator is it," he Asks, "who could wait seven years in tthe office of the Nation's Chief Executive to make the first step in the {ireaded direction?" Of course, one answer to this charge of dictatorship against Candidate Roosevelt is that a dictator must first know what he wants to do and then do it. Certainly, there is little evidence that Candidate Roosevelt knows what he wants to do from one day to the next--except remain in office. Is It True? Be that as it may, let's ponder calmly and deliberately the question which Smear Artist Michelson projects. Is it true that Candidate Roosevelt has waited seven years in the Chief Executive's office without making one Atep toward grabbing off power which does not rightfully belong to the President of this nation? There seems little dispute that the present White House occupant today •enjoys greater power than any other President of the United States had. How did he get it? By cajoling ii Subservient Congress; by using thd most extreme pressure on that body, " even to the extent of demanding the passage of legislation without regard to its constitutionality. What is the proof of that statement, Well, the Supreme Court declared a number of pieces of New Deal legislation unconstitutional-- some by unanimous votes With the concurrence of such justices *s Louis D. Brandeis. But let's cite a more recent example Of the way a dictator acts. Some greeks ago Candidate Roosevelt secretly negotiated a deal with the British Empire involving an exchange of j destroyers and1 naval bases. He disregarded the Congress in such negotiations-- kept it in ignorance of what was, going on--actually denied to the press that such a deal was being .negotiated. We Must Wait Ten Years ' On its conclusion, Candidate Beose* velt told Congress what he had done He did not ask approval of Congress. Instead he sent Congress an opinion by his subservient Attorney General, asserting all was legal. But he did not reveal all. Asked about this at a press conference, Candidate Roosevelt said the country would find out all the details about ten years from now when the State department arrives regarding events this year are oi>ened. Is that the manner in which American Presidents act? Is it the manner in which Adolph Hitler rules Germany? You answer. History shows that one of the first steps of wouldbe dictators is to short-circuit the legislative bodies of their countries-- confront them with events when done and too late to stop them. A little later on the legislative body is not even told what has been done--and finally it is sent home as an annoyance. Th:s is what is in store for the American Congress if the Third Term movement succeeds. Our Third Term President will not even bother to let he people's representatives in Congress know what he does. The Case of Elliott Roosevelt Another example is the scandalous appointment of 30-year-old Elliott I Roosevelt, the Third Term Candidate's i second son, to a Captaincy in the pro- [ curement division of the Army on the eve of the registration for conscription. Young Mr. Roosevelt has never • seen a day of military service. He has I no particular qualifications to be a, I Captain in the Army. But because he is the President's son--and there appear to be no other '.7 "t- / * . •_ Vf* 1 .v ,r.v; io,mo TWENTY YEARS AGO Mrs._ Ellen Ensign, has just received a letter from her son, D. W.

Rtchmead, Ili tlefield. Of course, the sons of ordinary folks in the dictator countries should not ^kpect to be Captains. They are supposed to be privates--the cannon fodder of war, single-handedly brought about by the dictator. Positions of rank are reserved for the sons of the ruling class--for royalty. Apparently the Roosevelts already regard themselves as entitled to the prerogatives of royalty for three of the sons hold commissions. Without a day of military training, you will recall, James had himself made a - Lieutenant-Colonel of Marines several years ago. Franklin D., Jr., holds fen Ensign's commission in the Naval reserve. e The Case of Wendell Willkie In the World War, Wendell Willkie enlisted as a private. He spent four months intensive training before he ^was commissioned as a Lieutenant. 3He spent another year in training Camps in this country and was then sent to France where he served under fire. Just before the Armistice he was recommended for promotion to a Captaincy. All of his commanders approved the recommendation but he never became a Captain because when the war ended President Wilson suspended all pending promotions. But Elliott Roosevelt, without spending a day in a training camp, is appointed a Captain. Is it any wonder that the case of Elliott Roosevelt has made the blood of every World War veteran boil? Such things do not happen in a democracy. They do happen in countries ruled by men lustful for power--indispensable men who seek to perpetuate themselves in office.
