Thnreday, June 4,1941 ••'*' mwW "*FrWW'r r^.'wr;" tH* McHXNBT PLAIMDXALES fiplln "SO I HEAR" by EARL WALSH TIGERS SHUT OUT INDIANS IN FIVE. ' ^ INNING GAME, 5-0 Every now and then a song hits j the air -waves that is just catchy enough to get us. Learning just a line or two of the song and humming it over and over nearly drives us to distraction, but time alone can wear it away. "Give Me One Dozen Roses" is our latest affliction. If it doesn't leave soon, we'll have to tour out to see M. Crouch--get the dozen roses and get rid of the song. _ -IIJRight now we'd like one dozen contributions before the phone rings and' the bark of "Where's that column?*' sounds like "One Dozen Moses." After listening to1 news broadcasts with all the cover-up propaganda that goes with war time releases, the following story hit the'nail on the head: WAR STORY In the dark days of 1941 irresponsible Parisians were chuckling over the following story: „ Six Nazi pilots appear before the Pearly Gates and knock boisterously. St. Peter sizes them up, then asks who they are. "We are German airmen," says the Nazi with the biggest Iron Cross. "We have been shot down over England. Can we get in?" Without answering a word the heavenly gate-keeper disappears. Finally he returns, opens up the gate halfway and says: "All right, men! Those two over there may come in!" "But we are six; how about the other four," says the German. "Sorry, boys," answers the Saint. "According to the communique of the German High Command only two pilots were lost over England today. Those two may come in--the other four can go to Hell." -IIAh. But there was a time when men reported their warfare to the little women as follows: WHAT A MAN! Patrick O'Brien came staggering home one night with "his left eyfe black, his right eye cut and bleeding, his nose broken and in short, looking quite a mess. "Glory be!" cried his wife at sight of him. "What happened to ye, Pat?" "1 got in a fight with Clancy, begorra." muttered Pat. "For shame! You coward," shouted his wife. "Clancy's naujrht but a skinny little runt, a weasel, a weakkneed nincompoop! You should have knocked his block off!" "Hold on, Bridget," said Pat, holding up his hand. "Don't speak so disrespectful of the dead." Things are looking up on the west side. Little Glenny has hirisd a nice, little girl as clerk. Nothing like that feminine touch in a business establishment. .The McHenry Indiana will play host to the Richmond ball club next Sanday.

In the beginner's tournament, which was played a short while ago, Gladys Stilling won the championship. As two other cup winners of other years, Esther Althoff and Maureen Miller, are still in school it was4 decided to have a tournament between these four winners to determine a grand champion. No cup winner may play for that trophy again and so Maureen and Esther were unable to play in the advanced tourney this year. The grand championship will either be played, off this spring or jiext fall.

Probably no better use could be made of Arbor day than to use it, first, for the establishment of a community forest area, and thereafter to maintain local interest in, and local support and protection of such an area. FOREST PLANTING ON FARM LANDS Unused, or badly eroded farm lands may be made profitable by the plantang upon them of small forest trees. Such tree plantings may serve a double or triple or even a multiple purpose: They check and prevent erosion; they provide shelter from icy winter winds and burning summer suns; they produce, in time, a permanent supply of fuel; if they are properly located they hold back the drifting snows from roads and farmstead yards; they give greater beauty to the farm scene; lastly, and of equal importance, they provide nesting places for the birds which help to rid the fields and gardens of harmful insects and noxious weeds. SPRINGBOARD FOR CIVIC ENTERPRISE For P.T.A.'s, for granges and farmers' clubs, for Boy and Girl Scouts and 4-H clubs, the annual Arbor day offers a very strong and convenient peg upon which to hang an enterprise which will be of great steady playing throughout the several hours play, put the winners in a class just above any of the other teams although some of the sets were closely matched. In the finals Joe and Mac defeated Austin Smith and Milton Krambeer of Crystal Lake in a three set match, 5-7, 6-3, and 6-4. The best match of the afternoon, however, was the one in which the ultimate victors nosed out Jack Colby and Cletus Althoff ii^ a 48-game, thiee set affair. Scores of the match were 4-6," 1-5-13 and 6-4. The following teams were entered: Austin Smith and Milton Krambeer, Esther Althoff and Walter Herrick, Gordon Scholle and Robert Anderson, Adele Fioehlich and Bruce Klontz, Leonard McCracken and Joe Jackson and Cletus Althoff and Jack Colby. the initiation of a community forestry project.

PLANTCOUSE DESTROYER The larva of the beautiful lacewing fly is called the aphis-lion because of the great numbers of aphids which it kills. These larvae are so ravenous and ferocious that they would devour one another if the lace-wing did not guard against such voracity. She lays her eggs, singly, on the tips of stiff grass stems so that each larva as it hatches crawls down and goes about its business without molesting the others. When the larva is ready for pupation it spins a silken cocoon. A tax expert who recently issued a statement on tax collections showed that during the last 13 years Cook county, largest in Illinois, collected only 79 per cent of the taxes assessed. Th»s left 140 million dollars in delinquent real estate taxes and $262,784,988 in delinquent personal property taxes. The treasurer of Cook county reports that only 80.8 per cent of the 1940 levy has been collected. Contrast this showing with the records made by most downstate counties in Illinois, and a revealing situa-^ tion is disclosed. In Putnam county, for example, smallest county in the state, more than 99 per cent of the personal and real estate tax'es for 1940 have been collected. In DeKalb county, 99.045 per cent of all 1940 taxes have been paid. In Adams county, which cobtains the sizable city of Quincy, 98.64 per cent of the personal taxes and 98.7 per cent of the real estate taxes have been brought in. Macon county, where Decatur is situated, has a record of 96.7 per cent of 1940 taxes paid; Stephenson county, 98.53 per cent. It is pointed out, in this connection, that the treasurers of the largest and smallest counties in the state, and of all the counties in between, operate under exactly the same state laws. And to the question--"why such a difference between Cook county and the rest of the state?"--one of the answers is: "Those primarily responsible for tax delinquency are not the officials charged with the collection of taxes, but the leaders of political machines. Taxes are not collected in Cook county because no one wants to incur . . . political unpopularity by collecting them." Every local tax bill contains its proportion of local, school, county and state expenses. Evading taxes may be a profitable political game, but it destroys fairness and equality in bearing our tax burden.

JpVERYONE likes flowers, and ^ every flower will make a likable snapshot. Remember that and you won't lack for picture subjects from now until tate fall arrives again. But at thr same time here's something to remember: Flower photography, although it Is a very satisfying and pleasant hobby, re- Quires patience and a good deal of practice. You've got to experiment if you expect to excel in your work. But believe me, it's worth it Here are a few tips that may help you along the way. First, make your snapshots elottupt just like our illustration. Work as near to the eubject as your camera permits, and if that doesn't bring you witkijMwo or three feet, slip a portrait attachment over the lens so tbat^you il get a bigger image on your negative, or plan to "crop" the picture during •enlargement Then try to isolate your subject Don't let confusing background details distract the eye. A perfect background for almost any flower is the sky, but a big sheet -ray cardboard held behind the blossom will make a fine substitute if you can't get a low enough camera angle to use the sky as a backdrop. Next watch the light. The most favorable illumination for flower pictures is the early morning or late afternoon sun. Tou then get nice sidelighting which adds depth and form to your subject. Backlighting, too, is sometimes highly effective. But In either cane you'll get better quality snapshots If you use a simple reflector such as a piece of white cardboard, to. brighten, the shadow portions tt your subject And use a Alter to darken sktss. step up contrasts, and give the closest possible rendering of color values in the black-and-white prist. Panchromatic Aim. incidentally, is best for this kind of work. Finally, do your picture making on calm days when the wind won't shake the flower, or in the morning before the wind begins to blow, snd you'll find that you'll have fewer technical problems to contend with and you'll achieve better results.
