The Blue Rock and Live Pigeon Shoot was held in this village last Friday. It was well attended, and we heard there was some good shooting done but we didn't get the scopes. Last Friday was Ground Hog. It was a bright sunny day, and if the old belief holds true .we .will, have nearly two more months of winter. • Modern Battleships Modern battleships are about two blocks long, a third of a block wide Each 'battleship is a -complete unit; it generates its own electricity, has a complete telephone and telegraphic exchange, radio and mechanical signaling devices. It has, a print shop and prints a daily newspaper. There's a movie theater, a library, recreation rooms, post office^ jail, hospital and schools. A battleship has from eight to nine decks and it takes from 1,200 to 1,50Q men and officers, most of whom are carefully trained specialists, to operate the great, fighting machine. The torpedo is the battleship's most deadly enemy. FORTY YEARS AGO John Toynton, of Wauconda, suffered serious injuries as a result of a fall from his windmill. A sleet storm the previous day had clogged the gears with ice and snow. Mr. Toynton had climbed up to the tower, forty feet, to remove the ice when he slipped and fell.

Barbian joined them in Chicago. It will be a pleasant trip and the climate of the sunny south will be appreciated by the men. The business ef the Elgin postoffice now ranks third in the state. Chicago and Peoria only being ahead in a financial showing. Scabby Face ; One way to prevent "scabby face" (infectious dermatitis), a skin infection usually beginning at the corners of the mouth and extending slowly over the face and body of suckling pigs, is to move farrowing houses from old, contaminated lots to clean ground. It may also be helpful to clip the tusks of baby pigs to prevent them from injuring each other, since such wounds are often important sites of entry for the infectious agent, says the department of animal pathology and hygiene, University of Illinois college of agriculture. If the disease does appear, some of the affected pigs may be saved by a daily treatment with 3 per cent creosol applied with a medium-stiff brush. However, this treatment must start early, the department warns. , . : (By .Marie McKim)' Hie two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Davo Reid, G<forge of the navy and Bill, an M.

Is there a blueprint or plan for making menus?. That's a quection homemakers fre* quently put to the food experts. Yes, there is. Suppose you are given a list of foods to be included in your daily diets, a sort of general plan that you can adapt to every day's needs. Can you make out your menus? Here is the blueprint: 'Group I. Greenland.yellow vegetables. At least one of each kind should be included daily to rm-et vitamin and mineral requirements of the diet. Group II. At least one serving of oranges, grapefruit or tomatoes to get enough Vitamin C in the diet. A good time to get this requirement in is during breakfast--with the fruif. Group IH. Potatoes or other fruit and vegetables to add more minerals and vitamins to the diet. Grow IV. Milk or milk products. This may be in the form of milk (1 j>jm per day for adults, 1 quart for children), fresh or evaporated, and cheese. Group V. Meat, poultry, fish] eggs or dried beans, peas, nuts or (peanut butter. This group is needeoao build and repair body tissue. ^ Group VI. Bread, flour and cereals are required to meet energy needs and the vitamin B needs of the body. Be sure that any of these that you use are whole - grain, enr i c h e d or r e stored. You would have to eat four times as much ordinary bread, for example, to get as much nutritional value as one loaf of enriched bread contains. Group VII. Butter or fortified margarine. Use some of either every day to give energy and vitamin A. That's the plan. Use food out of every group, every day. The best way to divide the groups into thr^e balanced meals will run something like this: For breakfast: Citrus fruit, cereal, eggs, milk or beverage, toast. For lunch or dinner: Meat (poultry or fish, etc.), vegetable in either group I or IU, milk or milk products. For dinner or snpper: Meat, poultry or fish, vegetable or fruit from groups I, II, or III. Milk or milk product, and also bread and butter from groups VI and VII. An easy way to plan the menus is to write down the foods and the corresponding number of the group of food from which it comes. If you do not use one or two of the groups during one meal, pick them up at the next. No chance for slips, here!

The priestAiad learned of the drug from the native Indians of the country. Since that time, millions of lives have been saved by quinine, mostly in the tropical areas of the world, where malaria is nrjost prevalent. Lynn Says: What they do: The basic seven food requirements are so made up as to take care of the body's demand for certain types of food. For example, proteins, minerals and water are all essential to building torn parts of the body and keeping them in repair. They are needed for tissues, bones, muscles, b^ood and other fluids. Energy for breathing, heart action, circulation of the blood, and other bodily functions is supplied by fuel foods--foods rich in fats and sugar. To. keep up the body's resistance to disease, to keep it in good ruhning order, is the function of regulation and protective foods-- these are the .vitamins, minerals; water and roughage. Cut Pullorum Toll Pullorum, one of the most infectious diseases of chickens, has b%en reduced one-third since 1930.*. ^ CHICAGO.--If you have a plentiful supply of casn in your pocket, any nearby pickpocket watching you is likely to know it. And it is not easy to protect yourself against him. That is the disturbing warning given by a criminologist. "People with money walk differently from those without money," says Hans von Hentig in an article on. Pickpockets in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology published here by the Northwestern University Press. "There is a distinct difference in the way they move their arms and inspect shop windows and restaurants. "Fmally, there is that general impression of self-assurance, ponder- • osity, unconcern and good humor-- sometimes anxiety, too--presented by people who have much money in their pockets. "The successful pickpocket must be well-dressed," says Von Hentig,' "but not too elegantly or too showily, He has good manners. He uses; the external fiction of wealth, goodJ conscience and flattering naivete." r The pickpocket looks for crowd situations, and likes to wi^k on busses because of their irregular movements. Concert audiences are good" hunting grounds. The pickpocket may produce a diversion for a theft by trampling on a prospective victim's foot, or staring at the victim's wife or daughter to anger him. The best pickpockets have small hands with long, muscular fingers, the hands kept soft by washes soda and use of cold cream. • '/'v.;: &R. R. DeROMR v .

Surgeon Sews Heart and Saves Life of Young Man JSAST ST. LOUIS--Dr. H. H. Weathers, a colored surgeon, performed an unusually dexterous emergency operation on a patient's wounded heart in St. Mary's hospital here the other day, colleagues of the doctor disclosed. Nathaniel Pickeet, 22 years old, was taken to the hospital suffering frgm stab wounds, including a cut in the right auricle, one of the two upper h*.-.rt valves that handle blood from veins. The surgeon cut through the pericardium sac surrounding the pulsating heari*ind made a figure 8 suture. After two^days Pickeet was reported recovering. He would hatfe bled to death in a few minutes without the operation, doctors declare. A figure 8 sture is a type of continuous stitch that covers a large or small territory. In the language of the layman, one wound in Pickeet's heart required three stitches. Astride Cleft in Torn Ship, He Takes Her In PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA.-- Standing astride a crack in the deck of a ship almost split in two by a torpedo explosion, the master felt by vibration whether his vessel was likely to break in two. She did not and he brought her safely home to a Sogth African port, spending most of the time on a nightmare voyage with one foot on either side of the crack. "I don't quite know what held her together," he said. "Only our prayers, I guess, or the grace of God did it." After inspecting the torn hull and twisted deck plates, a naval officer described the crew's feat in getting the ship to port as "a miracle of seamanship."
