Schultz of Solon Mills has announced the marriage of her daughter, Elsie Victoria, to Pfc. Carl Williams, son of Mrs. Mar- : garet Williams of Libeftyville. The marriage took place on January 12 at 4:30 o'clock in the Methodist par-, sonage, Rev. Paul Turk officiating. p 8 eastern states. This Ohio farmer in 1917 got two two-year-old Chinese chestnuts* for trial and planted them in fertile, well • drained, moist soil along a fence row near his home. After about 10 years they began bearing, but it was not until 1940 that he planted a few of the nuts he had stored over winter. Planted 6 inches apart in 12 inch rows, the seedling chestnuts have space to grow for two seasons and are then ready for transplanting. The two parent trees are good bearers of moderate sized nuts -- about the size of American chestnuts. Buyejs want them primarily because of their disease resistance, for on home grounds, or^n The young couple will reside in f01"® c®se^ woodlands where it Libertyville, as Pfc.

When they were being seated before the serving of a delicious lunch, Mrs. Blomgren j was asked to sit at the head of the table, where gift packages of all' sizes were spread before her. The i Party served as a surprise birthday celebration for her and as guest of honor she was so completely sur-1 prised that she had difficulty in opening her gifts. ! Her friends sang "Happv Birth-'1 day" and to Mrs. Blomgren it proved an occasion never to be forgotten. Municipal Finances Show Improvement During War The municipal finance picture for the last year shows continued reduction of debt, excellent tax collections, capital improvements at a standstill, steady accumulation of reserves to finance public improvement programs after-the war. -Despite these favorable trends, municipalities generally during the year devoted considerable thought to new sources of revenue to ease the strain on the -local property tax. In this connection, collection of taxes delinquent since 1929 still is an important issue and the chief problem in hundreds of municipalities; and the many communities supplementing current ta!x levies with back taxes for the last six or seven years now face the necessity of living on current taxes only. Some cities received revenues Shorter Length* and Molded Are Bewitching^ By CHIRR NICHOLAS Cheerio! Evening sweaters have returned to the fashion picture in alt their glory and then tome. And you will yield to temptation and buy one it first sight Just can't resist their charm and their fashion appeal. "• ' When you buy one of these bewitch- ; Ing knitted fantasies, the style de- 1 tails to keep in mind are shorter i lengths (that is if you are looking for "last minute" chic), molded lines, mandarin or off - shoulder necklines and ladylike glitter rather ..than a "flamboyant display of dazzle-dazxie. Remember too the style-importance of black. However, later on the supremacy of black will be challenged by many a be> guiling sweater in white or a delectable color. s- The new arrivals in black are very exciting, some of them looking more like dressmaker bodice tops, they -fit so snugly, and those that stop'at the waist are ever so smart. One perky little black chenille-knit model with glitter accent is a slender fitted type that has a portrait look with its voguish boat neckline that is so low cut it looks like a picturesque drop-shoulder decolletage. The drooping shoulders achieve a cap sleeve effect. Glitter is seen in the tiny Jeweled-button fastening, together with delicate sprays embroidered from shouldet across the front neckline, the design punctuated with dainty sequin accents. Close-fitting necklines of Chinese inspiration are also high style. The front of this type evening sweater is emblazoned with a gorgeous emblem or a heraldic design that looks very distinguished. Decidedly new and good looking is the black cocktail sweater with a glittering necklace treatment. This charming sweater which already has become a success fashion has a peplum flare and is dressy enough for evening wear as well as afternoon. It is available in dark ana light colors as well as white. Gilt or jet sequins and beads form the embroidered necklace. College girls who are growing more and more fashion-conscious regarding clothes for date wear have discov ed that a modish black sweater can be accessorized with sequin-type necklaces, glitter pins, jeweled clips, up to any degree of formality wanted. In this way they can have all the glamour of the evening sweater which is back again hi a big way. Then too, the girl who can sew is doing a lot of glitter embroidering of her own to give the evening look to her favorite sweater.

Marengo is the team that has' all the six-footers so they had a strong advantage, but MCHS put up a strong fight, (mostly in the second half). The team received much of their support from Mrs. Edward Buss and daughter and also Mrs. Kate Thies. I hope other maters and paters do as they did and give the team a little support and enthusiasm fit the games. Let the boys make the points and you make the noise?

M WONN.Or MAKf*W MOM Nourwooo ir» QMCgl i TabU Thinnings Instead of pulling out young plants and discarding them, thrifty gardeners thin at the stage where they make good eating. In a row of greens, for example, those that grow tall first are pulled for table use, leaving the smaller plants to develop for later use. Beets are thinned for the kettle at several stages of growth. Pull them first for tender cooked greens when the roots are about the size of the little finger and can be cooked attached to the tops. Later, pull beets when the roots reach walnut size, and serve the femily tender baby beets. Onion rows may be thinned in much the same way. Some of the most delicious carrots are those of pencil size, thinned from the row. These tiny carrots are a treat exclusive to the home gardener because they never appear on markets. The saving way to use leaf lettuce and chard from the garden is to pick the leaves only, and let the plant continue to grow and produce more leaves. police marshal at Huntley.

The nap on chenille spreads may be fluffed by shaking them occasionally as they dry on the line and rubbing briskly with the hand or a soil brush. Give them a final rub after they are dry. Never use a stiff brush because it is likely to pull out soma of the chenille. To raise the pap on wool blankets, however, a clean, stiff broom ia recommended, but the brushing must bo done aftei the blanket is thoroughly dry. Wool weak when wet and must be ^handled carefully. When dry, brushing will not damage the blanket, and fiufing the surface will add much to its w&rmth. American claret is a smart new accessory color.
