Spring is really sprouting in McHenry these days, and even though we know there will be bad days ahead, we can't help but get the urge to give way to the many attractions of this loveliest of all seasons. No one can offer an argument to the statement that spring is most beautiful in the country, for that is the time and the place about which poets write. v". That sparkling orb ttmmonly known, as the sun never sends such brilliant rays as it does now, matched only by the invigorating early morning «ir which makes one want to play hookey from even the most demanding tasks. And; speaking of hookey, there is one way in which you may give in to your feelings for enjoying the great outdoors and at the same time accomplish so much that conscience pangs will not be yours. • Spring also brings plans for that garden plot. Nothing can be done about that eitber without seeds. That is where we come in, with three of the best brands of seeds, being HUNKEL'S, FERRY'S & VAUGHAlf S. These names mean perfection. We also have onion sets and grass seed, phis available garden toote. Should Old Man Winter go i n t o r e v e r s e and push Spring out of the picture, we still have some snow shovels on hand. As Senator Claghorn says, "That's a jokei" , - v/v-- , E. H. Nickels H a r d w a r e M'HENKY i Arnold J. Rauen, State Director of | i the Treasury's U. S. Savings Bonds I Division for Illinois, has announced the appointment of Harold J.' Bacon,! executive vice-president of Home J State Bank of Crystal Lake, as chairman of McHenry county U. S. j Savings Bonds Committee. This or-! ganization was created to succeed the War Finance Committee, which gave such great service to our com- | munity and to our country. The | new program does not plan any loan i drives, but is designed to promote ! and encurage the continued saving by the people in series E, series F,1 |snd series G savings Bonds, which are still sold throughout the county. | "AH groups among our citizens ! seem to recognize that the war finance program benefited them as in-J dividuals, strengthened our county, ' and helped our nation during the war years," said Mr. Bacon, "We now look forward to having the people continue that good habit of regular saving through payroll savings, and other means of purchase. "The school section will continue ' to promote the savings habit among children by encouraging them to purchase stamps in the schools. Ed-" ucators throughout Illinois have expressed their whole-hearted approval of the plan. Leaders of management, labor, and farm groups have | also fully endorsed the savings program. | "We are confident that the people of McHenry coyinty will continue to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase the world's finest securi ities." j Stady German Processes Tfce forest service of the department of agriculture reports that a dozen forest products experts from the U. S. haye been in Germany since early last June gathering complete information on all phases of wood processing, conversion, modification and use developed by the Germans. Much of the information acquired will be of value to U. S. industry in peacetime years and as rapidly as investigators can prepare their reports, the technical findings will be sent to this country for distribution to agencies and in- { dustries that can make direct appli- j i cation of the results. Informal sum-' j | maries indicate that findings will be I | of more value than was first expect- ! | ed. As an example, the Germans i are reported to have produced a hi- i trocellulose for explosives with su- | perior stability qualities from low- } grade sulphate wood pulps. Prelim- i inary reports also indicate that I new and improved techniques in the ! production of wood sugar and its ! i products -- el.yi alcohol, feeding I yeast and others--have been devel- ! oped. Information of considetttble 1 j value also may be collected on ligj nin utilization, wood modification and improvement, timber construction and seasoning and preservation. South American Hybrid Verbena--gift of our South American neighbors--is one flower that has many qualities to gladden the | heart of a gardener. Our common : garden verbena owes its qualities to a complex ancestry: several varieties native to southern Brazil and I Uraguay have been crossed and re- 1 crossed until now the range of color I includes white, brilliant red, pink, lavender and purple with many in- ; termediate shades. All are delightfully fragrant. For a generally use- | ful garden subject, Verbena Hy- ! brida is a good choice. An annual, i sun-loving plant, it flowers lav- • ishly from May until frost if started i early under glass. It is of prostrate I habit, growing about 5 inches tall j and covering a space of a square 1 foot by the end of the season. ! Fire Losses About 1,000 homes in the U. S. are attacked by fire every day and a 1 farm fire occurs every 15 minutes. The death toll in the past 10 | years is about 35,000 and thousands I more are critically burned and serii ously maimed. The dollar loss for j the same period is about one billion. CT. PETERSBURG, FLA. -- Variety is supposed to be the spice of life, but so are arguments in a baseball training camp. The argument this time, including members of the Cardinals and the Yankees, had something to do with brains on and off the ball field. "Why is it?" one Cardinal wanted to know, "that a fellow can he smart in many w t i y s , but dumb when he gets into football or baseb a l l ? Or why he can be p r e t t y dumb until he gets into some athletic competition, when he may be smarter than almost anybody?" G„ raotland Rice This is a fair qu^tion. any. one recall the most intelligent member of the old Giant team from 1908 through 1913? I can give you his name. He is better known as Bonehead Merkle -- the Giant who forgot to touch second base in 1908. Yet Fred Merkle was the best educated member of the Giant squad. But his reflexes on the ball fleld failed to operate as quickly as some others who would have been baffled by McGuffey's second reader. Fred bad to take time to think things out. You can't do that when split second co-ordination or intuition must rule. For example, Rube Waddell was a mental eccentric. But there were few smarter, once the gangling Rube reached the mound with a baseball in his left hand. There were two famous ball players who, as far as I know, never made a mental mistake on the Beld. One was Babe Ruth who came along from an industrial school. The other was Nap Lajoie who was lifted from a cab driver's seat in Woonsocket, R. I., and a trifle later was surrounded and captured by Uncle Egbert Barrow. - Neither needed any college degree to be smart on a ball field. They were born that way. Instinct and Intuition The athlete who is naturally smart in competition must have a high degree of instinct, intuition and concentration. I know Eddie Arcaro figures it that way in racing. "You haven't time to think in a split second," he told me once. "There's an opening or there isn't an opening, and you have to make up your mind in a flash. Which means largely instinct for the right things to do." Ty Cobb had this natural instinct, this ability to concentrate, but Cobb also worked on these natural gifts. "I used to lay in bed at night for hours thinking up plays," he said once. "I planned some of these plays weeks J ahead' against certain teams." Old time ball players had no motor cars, movies, night clubs or other distractions to kill time. So many of them thought only about baseball. I mean such men as King Mike Kelly, Kid Nichols, John Montgomery Ward, Charlie Comiskey, Hughey Jennings, Clark Griffith, John McGraw and most of the old Orioles. The main mental asset in any game is concentration. Many have this needed ingredient more than others. But the art or knack of concentration can also be developed. Concentration .means keeping your mind on the Job from start to finish. As Knute Rockne used to tell hi* squad--"Keep physically relaxed -- but mentally alert." • • • Borowy* s Predictions We caught Hank Borowy oathe fly just as he was heading for the Cub camp and Catalina island. "How about Cub prospects?" we queried. "We'U need all the pitching we can get this season," the Cub star said. "By that I mean most of the other clubs will be stronger where we will have about the same cast. We got little back from the service. The Cardinals, Giants and Dodgers will all be stronger. So will the Pirates, Braves and Phillies. "We'll be pitching to better hitting strength all along the line, while at the plate we face improved pitching also. That means tough going. A flock of. dangerous hitters have been added to the league since last fall. "Hitting in the two leagues? I can't see much difference. I had a b e t t e r r e c o r d in the N a t i o n a l than I had in t i i e A m e r i c a n . But my arm was in much better shape when I jQjjied the Cubs." I asked Borowy how the National league race looked from his angle. "The Cardinals are the team to beat," he said, "with so much strength at every point. But they can be beaten. I'm sure we'll be up there. The Giants have all the power any team needs at bat, but their pitching is still uncertain. What pitcher can*Mel Ott depend on for as many as 18 games? "The Dodgers will be better and they were tough enough at times last season. The Pirates will be improved and the Braves will probably be bothering everybody. exit, 0. P. Schaefer, 180; V.
