The Shamrocks report that they expect to be very much In the league this year. "PALA4XI IlIBttt" I* A "WALEOVER" The ill-famed "Newsboys" Anally ijt in tike groove last Sunday when ley whipped the "Palace Girls" 2812 to 2160. After suffering fire straight setbacks at the hands of the local teams, George M. Freund quietly carried the boys to one side before the match and gave them a "pep talk." Although George did not bowl on. the team this week his words evidently canted a tot of weight, as the "Newsboys" stepped right out with a 8SI game and from thereon in were never headed. Don F^tie" Schaefer headed the boys with a 168-218-170-666 series; John Rogers deserves mention for his ef- With the return of the Larkins, £"fe.in * the Bolgtrs, f Crouch and perhaps Weber's 167- 1SQ-208-490 headed the others to the ranks, there is no reason why the team should not be formidable. The boys would'like new suits and are going to do something about getting them. Of course, the first thing to think about is cold cash when you want to buy something, so the 'Micks' will invade the Johnsburg territory and hold a dance on Wednesday, April 24th, at Frank Nell's popular hall, j If your dancing days are over,! don't let that stop you from buying a ticket. McHenry wants an up-and cotain' baseball team. girls. .Other scores were as follows: A. Froehlich, 467; P. Meyer, 366: A. Nett, -416; L. Budler, 422; Chas.

The boys will undoubtedly need it next time when they face "Bferbian's Butcherettes." Graattaadftlee DAIRY FARMERS PAID $246,243 PORy f FEBRUARY MI The county league will probably expand this year. Crystal Lake and Harvard are expected to enter the race. • We haven't heard much from Johnsburg, but can picture a strong team for them this year. The "Micks" like the Johnsburg fellows, but they have ideas of evening up some of those defeats of the past couple of years. The series has been too one-sided of late, but watch for the old time battles this summer. Something new has been added. John Freund, the cobbler man, has a new lock on the front door of his shop. The old latch has been replaced. They tell a story--and it's supposed to be true--about a farmer who was selling milk to a firm that didn't bother about testing the butterfat content. It seems the farmer filled each can part way with milk then filled it to the top with water. Getting the volume, you know! The firm got wise and started testing. The results were puzzling. Wnen water was actually added, the test was higher than the straight stuff. So--the next time the driver came to pick up the milk he advised the farmer to sell his cans and drill another welll Figures received from Bowman Dairy company indicate dairy farmers of McHenry county received $246,243.33 for milk delivered to Bowman plants during the month of February. With the figures came a note from M. J. Metsger, Bowman vice-president. He said: "Throughout my fifty-six years service with Bowman Dairy company I have been close to dairy farmers in your area. Our company has been constantly on the alert to assist farmers wherever possible, and we feel Bowman is an integral part of your community. We let you know how much we pay for milk produced in your county each month, because it gives you a better picture of the efficiency of your neighbors--your dairly farmers. The financial status of every McHenry county business establishment and enterprise is benefited by money paid for milk." Mr. Metzger concluded: "The futures of Bowman farmers are secure, because Bowmdh markets, local and world-wide, are firmly established. It is my belief that as long as farmers are financially strong, local businesses and the entire nation will be financially strong." PROCLAMATION Well, we have another dog at our house . . . thanks to Walt Freund. Such excitement! It's a six-month-old dog and not small. We brought him home in the car and the first thing we knew he slipped his head through the collar and was on his way. Our idea was to let him run, but our young hopefuls set. out to bring 'em back alive. They cornered him about a block away and a great yell went up for us to come and help. We helped. In fact, we carried that big prise all the way home. _ Wte put the collar' back oil . tight ... we thought. He was loose again and* this time crawled under the car. Well, it looked simple to the little woman as she insisted, "He's right there. You can reach him." We don't roll under cars easily and, with two excited youngsters adding to the confusion, it was quite a trick. But, he's our dog now although we haven't had time to teach him to grab steaks off the neighbor's porch like our last dog did. The Congress of the United States, the President, and the Military Order of the World Wars all endorse the annual observance of a day dedicated to the Army of the United States. Army Day, as ths occasion is called, falls this year upon Saturday, April 6. The high devotion, skill and valor of the officers and men of the Army of the United States have won historic victories for our republic in every quarter of the globe. By these victories they preserved our liberty and maintained our highest military traditions. It is indeed fitting for us to set aside a day for the special honor of our Army. Now, Therefore. I, Dwight H. Green, Governor of the State of Illinois. do hereby nroclaim SATURDAY, APRIL 6 7"^ of the present year as ' ARMY DAY throughout Illinois, and I request that on this day the United States Flsg be displayed upon all public buildings, and at the home of our citizens generally. In .Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused /the Great Seal of the State of Illinois to be affixed. DWIGHT H.

Paint Insulation The came paint which acta aa an insulator for the wall in summer also helps to keep , the house warmer in winter by sealing the outside surface against moisture and keeping it from penetrating through the walls. Water is many times as rapid a conductor of heat or cold as air, which fact indicates the economy and advantage of a dry wall as compared with a water-soaked one in both summer and winter. It Is estimated that mora than 43 races were represented among 2,000 prewar inhabitants of Darwin, Australia. Streets were filled with fierce bushmen, white Australian traders, European adventurers, fuzzy-headed Fijians, Chinese cookies and merchants, Japanese pearl divers, and a variety of half-castes. This polyglot populace managed to build a hospital and a school, and to install a power and water system. When steamers docked the townfolk obtained fresh fruits, vegetaKes and tobacco. Occasionally a plane arrived and prisoners were turned out of jail to clear the field of horses and coats for the landing. •eney Bread Padding Honey bread pudding ideal sweet dessert sparing sugar by using honey as sweetener. To substitute honey for sugar in bread pudding use twice as much honey, by measure, as the amount of sugar the recipe calls for. Add half tea- spoon lemon extract to enhance the good flavor of the pudding. Gardening Tools far Blind The blind can now plant, cultivate and harvest their own gardens without assistance, by means of tools designed by Hugh Findlay, professor of landscape architecture at Columbia university. With taut wires to mark the rows and guide the implements, blind gardeners are able to hoe, rake, plant, weed and spade sizable^friots of flowers and vegetables. TTie tools include a claw-like Norcross weeder which can be adjusted for weeding close to the plants or at a distance from the gardener; a light rake; a hoe which may be altered to chop the soil at different depths; and a weed cutter. All tools work easily down the rows attached to guide wires. the Want Adg T.B. Infection Now that tuberculosis in cattle has been reduced to a small fraction of 1 per cent as a result of the systematic federal-state campaign of eradication, veterinary officials are concerned about the danger of tuberculosis- free herds becoming reinfected. One way that this can happen is from persons who have tuberculosis, present evidence indicates. Dr. A. W. Wight, who di-» rects tuberculosis eradication in livestock for the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, cites a case, recorded in veterinary literature and supported by detailed records, in which four herds of cattle were infected by one person. Because of this danger he urges close cooperation between public health officials and veterinarians engaged in bovine tuberculosis eradication. Some cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, he explains, are caused by the bovine type of the germ and this type can readily infect cattle1. Knowledge of the kind of tuberculosis a human patient has is helpful to veterinarians in tracing the source of infection when healthy cattle inxthe locality became tubercular. : •,.--, Read tha Want <i#" _ COME earnest and able compiler , of facts and figures has estimated there are ovtr JO million citizens, young and old, qiale and female, who are directly or indirectly interested in baseban. I believe these figures are on the short side. We have 22 million high school kids for a starter, and most of these follow baseball, in one way or another. The range is from 8 to 80 years, and this includes those who play at the game, see the games, follow the box scores and the standings in the daily newspapers or hear games over the radio. My estimate would be 40 million, including the fanatics and the only mildly interested. This is only a guess. But that many through newspaper and radio must follow a world series. Many or most of the regulars have their favorite ball players. They may dig back into the past, or they may pick a few from the modern library. The leading favorite in the game's long history has been Babe Ruth. Proof here is simple. Babe has gone into such cities as Philadelphia and Boston when they were trailing and drawing less than thousand at home games. But when the Babe came to town they had to call police reserves to the scene. Next to Rath we'd have Ty Cobb and after Ty Cobb there would be •anas Wagner. Among those of more recent date, there are four who belong among the rafters of the roof --Pepper Martin, Dizzy Dean, Carl Hubbell and Bob Feller. And yoa can't leave oat Hank Greenberg. Pepper Martin, one of the greatest hustlers baseball ever knew, was everybody's favorite, wherever he played. You got the idea that he was willing and ready to break a neck or a leg to get where he was headed for, and you were usually right. p The 1946 Favorites Who will carry most of the public favor from city to city through 1946? In Boston the leading candidates at this spot are Ted Williams and Dave Ferriss. Among the Yankees you will find Bill Dickey, Joe DiMaggio and Joe Gordon--with Phil Rizzuto close up. Stirnweiss will be another. Terry Moore and Marty Marion will lead the Cardinals, who have several other candidates. Hank Greenberg and A1 Newhouser will head the cast for the Tiger zoo. For the Giants you'll And Mel Ott and Johnny Mize in front when the season opens. What about the Dodgers? In thi« dizzy land of BQmdom they change with startling rapidity from day to day. Dude Walker has been the civ ic nomination, or the peepul's choice, for some years. Whether Dixie .will retain the affections of the nation's most turbulent and tempestuous baseball crowds remains to be seen If anything happens to Dixie, or if it happena to be untrue what they say about Dixie, an early nomination is Peewee Reese. The Cleveland situs tiea Is simple The Indian's contribution to the favorite elan will be eae Robert Fel ler who will lare oat the multitudes in fancy nambers at each start. What a boot the Cabs? Andy Pafko will be one of them and so will Phil Cavarretta and Hank Borowy. The able veteran Stan Hack win also some votes. At times it is hard to tell just what qualities are needed to make some ball player the crowd's favorite. Hustle is always one of the main points. The populace likes to see the athlete giving all he has. Home-run hitters always have a strong call. So do strike-out pitchers. Good people who are there in the clutch or pinch also harvest their share of fanville's affection. Tkk All-Time Best Who have been my ten favorite ball players? It doesn't matter much, but here they go -- Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Trig Speaker, Hans Wagner, Dizzy Dean, Pepper Martin, Rube Waddell, Christy Mathewson, Pete Alexander. Plus Walter Johnson. Old Barney's pitching motion and the ball you couldn't follow were still something to look at. Carl Hubbell also belongs in this group. So does Bill Dickey. Ten isn't enough. As an artist Hal Chase has no equal. Just what favorite crop the new season will give us is in the socalled laps of the gods. There is time enough later on to take this up. • • • Bow and Arrow Records Every record improves in sport and archery has made a big advance since the days of the Sioux and the Apaches, the Iroquois and the Mohicans. Their range was rarely beyond 200 yards. But in 1941 Curtis Hill of Dayton, Ohio, set a new mark a 614 yards, 5 inches-- a new record for what is known as "free flight shooting." Hill's record for the regular flight shooting, according, to Frank Menke's book, la SIT yards, one foot: Rosy Cheeks In some parts of France and Italy it is believed that if you bury a drop of^rour blood under a rose tree, you will always have bright red rosy cheeks. .
