CleaiiliMst Saves It is especially important to give food containers scrapulous attention in hot weather. Bread and cake boxes, cleaned only once-in-a-while, accumulate bacteria that quickly spoil even a fresh loaf. These containers should be washed weekly, both inside and outside, with hot, sudsy water followed by-a rinse of boiling water to kill any mold. After being dried with a clean dish totvel, the open box should then be left on the window sill to allow the air and sun to complete the sweetening. It is urgent to guard against the spoilage of food these days when nothing should be wasted. Good housekeepers Ijuy only what foods they need and protect their supplies by clean careful storage so every last bit can be used up. 1 2cm w^iz^feiiATJCTIO N <>»t chains; Amer. therm cook stove;, l - MARTIN BOHL, Auctioneer Sunday, April 22 at 1:00 p. in. . i at 315 Illinois St., Crystal Lake Hot Blast stove, large; pitcher pump; feed barrels, steel; work! benches; hog troughs; concrete mix- ' er with half horse elec. motor, new. j Small welding outfit suitable for body and fender work; 350 chick kerosene brooder; some barb wire;, some woven wire; McD. 10-20 trac-j tor, front on rubber; Fordson trac-i lor.

Firemen tore out the fireplace, but the kitten was not found. Then a man came along, pulled out one brick, out came Betsy. The kitten was so frightened it would not drink its milk. Charge Smuggling To Gli in China Scores Caught in Ring That Netted $4,000,000. the ive. NEW DELHI.--Air smuggling is estimated to have netted Americans $4,000,000 in two years of flying over the "top of the world." Scores of American soldiers and civilians have been arrested for operations between India and China over the world's highest and mostj hazardous airline. The Americans were declared mostly "small fry" in the operations --go-betweens who transported the goods under plans engineered by the syndicate, said to be made up of wealthy Chinese and Jndian citizens and Greeks prith British citizenship. The inquiry was begun, one headquarters officer said, when it was discovered that "much of our supplies that *took valuable space on planes were getting to the black market. If) some cases bandits operating in the China hills had been known to rob American army supply trucks with American pistols." Profits of American participants totaled an estimated $4,156,000 in 87 major and 213 minor cases in which army criminal action has been completed or is under way. Ma^or cases ill -thfige, classified as involving profits oimore than $5,000 each. These cases, covering activities thtring 1941, 1942 and early 1943, involved, the army said, famed "Flying Tigers," employees of the China National Airways corporation, U. S. army personnel, American Red Cross workers, technical representatives of American manufacturers and British, Indian, Chinese and other civilians. The . army withheld the names. The records showed some American officers and enlisted men made staggering profits. 'Queen of Naga*' Mixed Spying With Her Writing NEW DELHI, INDIA. -- Censorship was lifted on the singular story of "The Queen of the Nagas," a blonde Englishwoman who scouted the Japanese while sharing the rough life of a tribe of aborigines who once cultivated a hobby of head hunting. Sfce is Ursula V. Graham Bower, 30. About six years ago she w<ent into the hills with the intention of writing a book about the Nagas tribesmen of the India-Burma frontier. When war came she went scouting the Japanese in addition to her literary chores. The Nagas were helpful. The story is that when the Japanese approached to within 25 miles of the hilltop where Miss Bower lived, she and her Naga friends, armed ty the British, went into the bush to obtain vital information about the enemy. She helped to organize a screen of observation posts and trained the Nagas to signal with their bamboo drums and seiyl runners with information to British outposts. The peak of her service came last spring when she helped to scout the Japs pressing through the Naga hills toward a railroad which was taking American supplies to Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell and the Chinese. - In I Bands Goal In 7th War Loan WASHINGTON, D. C.--"In the Seventh War Loan your government is asking lor the largest sum in investments by Individuals in the history of America. Of the $7,000,000,- 000 individual goal, $4,000,000,000 is to be in E Bonds," Secretary of the Treasury- Henry Morgenthau Jr. recently aakl in announcing Advance Payroll Savings dri The Secretary further stated: _ To meet this unprecedented but vitally necessary E Bond quota, the American worker, through the payroll savings plan, is being called upon for increased allotments and extra cash War Bond purchases to a greater extent than in any previous drive. "War is the grimmest and greatest of human endurance tests. The side that wins, in the final analysis, is the side that is in there working and fighting at the end--the side with the stamina and the spirit to endure the long and terrible or- See.

Another surprised and happy mother was Mrs. Kenneth Cristy when Kenneth, Jr., came home on a 15-day leave from Florida, after his graduation to Aviation Ordnance, 3rd class. We've wondered when this war is going to be over and these three Cristy brothers are sitting down to discuss it, just whose going, to win the argument about who had the most to do about winning Yhe war, aviation, navy or army, as all three are represented. Speaking of the navy, the Wonder Lake baseball team has suffered the loss of its star left-fielder, Ronne Wilhelm, to the navy. Ronnie must have carried a lucky rabbit's foot along as two of the buddies he enlisted with are stationed with him. Incidentally, there was an error in the printing of the baseball score | last w^ek.

ASSN Phone 29 West McHenry He loves Her, Loves Her\ Then He Stabs Her NEW YORK. -- Crying "I love her, I love her," a man plunged into a smart Fifth avenue restaurant during the luncheon hour recently and stabbed pretty, 20-yearold waitress Mary Raeber through the jaw and throat with a hunting knife. ' The 500 astounded diners then viewed a spectacular chase through the three floors of Stouffer's restaur rant as an army sergeant pursue the attacker, who was finally cornered by police on the street outside. "I don't know why I did it; I loved her so; poor Mary," he sobbed to police. But the police, who identified him as Michael J. Fosco, a 38- year-old imamptoyed bartender who met Miss Raeber a year ago, said Fosco was enraged when he learned the girl had been associating with other men. Miss Raeber is recovering at a hospital where the knife was removed. Telephone Lines Shot Up by Texas Hunters HOUSTON, TEXAS. -- Sharpshootin' Texas dove hunters, those Nimrods who occasionally miss their mark, caused three times as many breaks in telephone lines during September as in any other month last year. * Fearful that the nation's wartime communications system may be impaired at the present rate, A. L. Edmonson, divisional commercial superintendent of the telephone company, extended a plea to marksmen to watch their shots.
