Reed Get Tour Aspirin Ready If on one of these balmy June evenings you find yourself with idle time on your hands and are wondering what to do to while it away, your Congressman offers a little suggestion as how you ean amuse yourself. The first tiling that you muat do is to make a,, mental effort to determine whether or not your books at the end of the year will show a profit or loss for 1941. If you are able to definitely conclude that you will be "in the red" for the annum then you may sit back and murmur to yourself, "Boy, I am a lucky fellow." In the event, however, that you arrive at the conclusion that for some reason or other you may show a profit at the end of the year then you have an additional job ahead of you and there is nQ time like the present to prepare yourself for the ordeal ahead. First: You had better start thinking up a good answer for the government man when he queries you on why you dared to make a profit during 1941. Second: Think up ® good argument to convince the government that you are not actually guilty of treason because of making the profit but that you are a little bit in the black because of some mistake or oversight. Third: Try to figure out a way to give the government what you have just decided that you might possibly make in 1941 without losing your hat, home and shoes in the bargain. In other words folks, what I am getting at is that the Ways and Means Committee of the House has just submitted a tentative program for .taxing you in 1941. After a few moments perusal of the program it appears that when John Q. Public makes out his 1941 Income Tax it will be well for him to have handy an Ouija Board, a crystal gazing ball and Einstein's latest work on the Fourth Dimension. When you get through figuring out the tax, super-tax, surtax, the King's Royal tax and a few others you will decide that the lucky man is the fellow who lost money during the year. He will at least be able to keep his hat, while the fellow who shows a profit is having a hard time convincing the government man that he- is entitled to keep his. . ^ Compensation for Vetera®#* Dependents The House has passed and' sent to the Senate legislation, which if enacted into law, will provide compensation for widows, dependent children and dependent parents of World War veterans without regard to the cause of the veteran's death. Under existing legislation it is necessary to show that the veteran's death was service connected. The bill provides the following monthly compensation: "Widow but no child, $20; widow and one child, $28; widow and two children, $34 (with $4 for each additional child); no widow but one child, $12; no widow but two chidlren, $18 (equally divided); no vtfdow but three children, $24 (equally divided) (with $3 for each additional child); total amount to be equally divided; dependent mother or father, $20; or both, $15 (each). As to the widow, child, or children, the total compensation payable under this paragraph shall not exceed $56. Where such benefits would otherwise exceed $56, the amount of $56 may be apportioned as the Administrator ft Veterans' Affairs may prescribe." f Tol4 TWENTY YEARS AGO Antra Schneider and family, who have made this vQtaf* their heme /or many years past, expect to leave between now and July 1 far Eagle Sliver,' Wis., where they will take-charge of the "Rest Farm," owned by Chas.

FORTY'YBARS AGO Inaccurate bookkeeping has caused plenty of trouble,; but in a case reported from Missouri it served to prolong a mart's life. The execution of a convicted murderer was delayed until his books could fee straightened out so as to make out) a correct income tax return. Only three American officers have held the permanent rank of admiral in the United States Navy, David G. Farragut, David D. Porter and George Dewey, in the order named. Farragut was the adopted brother of Porter. Dewey is the only officer to. hold the rank and title of **admiralr ef the Navy." a 'Harry Eldredge, who has been employed in the <Jail Borden Condensing factory at. Carpentersville for three years, has been appointed assistant milk inspector in the company's new factory in this village. He is the son of our respected townsman, C. T. Eldredge. , M. W. Merriman is erecting a commodious residence on his lot facing the park. He is also contemplating the erection of a residence on the site of his present home. McHenry is undoubtedly unsurpassed in point of fine turnouts. There is already a long list of swell rubbertired rigs and the following gentlemen have recently joined the procession: Dr. C. H. Fegers, who probably has more conveyances than any other private individual in town, has added a rubber-tired stanhope; Thomas Thompson has purchased a rubbertired buggy; Jacob Bonslett is out in an elegant rubber-tired stanhope; John Claxton has quite outdone them all by investing in a new buggy and surrey both of which have rubber .tUJMkrt; • ^^ -FIPTY YEARS *W The marriage of Miss Mary A.

Walsh and wife attended the commencement exercises of the Woodstock public school on Monday evening- SIXTY TEARS AGO Bright colored lures do not attract fish, according to Dr. T. H. Shastid, noted ophthalmologist and authority on the vision of animals. The reason colored tackle is of no advantage is that fish are color blind. Both steamboats made excursions to Fox Lake on Sunday and were well patronized by our citizens. Business at the clover dryer is booming night and day, and they are getting all they can handle, all the empty rooms in the vicinity being fill- Plonlos art (all of gayaty, and you'll want your camera ready to record a complete story of the event. Catch your subjects when they're busily' , absorbed la some activity. , . ? '<r ff?. * IIBf?:e#" ISP'.V piCTDRES of people outdoors, * busy with games, sports, or other activities add human interest appeal to any amateur's snapshot collect Ion. Opportunities tor such shots exist throughout the snmmer months, and the weekends offer a specially good range of picture-taking possibilities.. Most of us plan something special at this time--a trip, a day or two at the beach, or a picnic--and : this presents a theme around which the day's pictures can be centered. If you plan a series of snapshots ? depicting the events of your holl- | day. your ahots will hare continuity, and will teU a connected, interesting story. 6f course, you I can't foresee all the possibilities because many picture chances occur ; quite unexpectedly. It is helpful, ' however, to jot down a brief outline ; covering the high apots. If you plan a picnic, for example, : you'll want a picture of Tom, Dick or Harry as he packs the basket and outing accessories tn the car On arriving at the picnic grounds don't overlook shots of the girls setting the table tor lunch -- and then a general view of everyone "packing It away." You'll want a "close-up" of Mary devouring a tasty sandwich. Jack tussling with an obstinate cap on the olive Jar, and many others that add human Interest to your picture story^ And. of course, there are the after-lunch games, pictures of Dick aapplng under a large tree, and A*' aall; a parting shot of loading the ear to go home. In planning your pictures--and la ptaklng them, too--there are set* aral points to keep in mind. First, make each shot simple--don't rlut> ter it up with too many details. Second, see that each snapshot portrays a definite bit of activity ta assure a complete story of each particular good time. A third point is nicely Illustrated In this accompanying photograph. Half the tun of a picnic is the informality. Don't have your subjecta looking at the camera; Instead cajh ture them when they are engaged in some activity. Watch also for "natural frames," such as the tree In the picture above. This helps hold the picture together, adds depth, and makes a pleasing aft rangement There's a lot af pleasure aad genuine satisfaction in making X planned picture record of your out**^ ings Instead of random "pot shots," you will have a well organized, con* nected picture story. Try the Idea and see If It doesn't Qay big dividends in better snapshots--the kllA you'll be proud to show to yoar friends and relatives. > John van Guilder Time) , Chuah (Daylight 8t.
