Most house plants can be grown more successfully when daytime room temperatures are maintained below 70 degrees. Water spray should not be applied to plants with very hairy or downy foliage.

Heretofore the army has been reluctant to take men over 25, although while the stop-gap draft extension law was in effect from May 15 to June 30 men through 29 were being processed for induction. Informed of Irwin's new age deference, the official who asked not to be quoted by name said the change of army mind came about because the current draft act bans inductions of 18 year olds, about' 25,000 of whom made up the bulk of draft calls In recent months With this prime source of manpower dried up by law, the official asserted, the army decided it would have to go above the 30-year bracket to fill its needs.

HILL McHenry Yellow Bivtt If it tlowed in a straight line, the Yellow river would be long enough to extend from New York City to San Francisco, says the National Geographic society. It is one of the world's mightiest rivers, and is often referred to as "China's Sorrow" because of its severe floods. Through the centuries the flood waters of the Yellow river have destroyed untold millions of lives. At the same time its floods and shifting course have built up much of China's Great Plain, filling in an arm of the Yellow saa with level farm land. Like the Nile, its floods for tUize vf<t areas to create the most productive of China's grain fields, which supply food for 50 million Chinese. As soon as the river covered one aoction with loess from the inland Mils and other silt from aa tar away as the -mooataftna of Tibet, it shifted to fill in lower land. The river's silt load at times runs as high as 40 per cent by UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP 4- Report of Condition of STATE" of Mcftenry, Illinotis,' a' member of the Federal Reserve System, at the close of business on June 29, 1946, published in accordance with a call made by the Federal Reserve bank of this district pursuant f to the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act. •itiMt ASSETS 'S BUNGALOW INN (formerly Hazel's Placej at LILY LAKE Stop in---Let's get acquainted! • Sandwiches Fine Beers PHONE McHENRY 690-W-l ins getting into summer's new Jantzen swim trunks.
