It is a round-stem woodland growth, about three feet high, having spearheadshaped leaves, each with three prominent veins and with an under surface that is shiny in contrast to the dull upper surfaces. It bears clusters of wjiite flowers that make their, appearance in the fall, usually in September. This plant contains a chemftal, trematol, that not only poisons livestock, but also causes fatall illness in people who consume m4lic from poisoned cows. Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother, is believed to have died in fills wey. About three pounds of white snakeroot is enough" to kill a sheep or goat. Horses, mules, and cattle may succumb on about 10 pounds. Because the poison lingers in the body, death can result from consuming small amounts of the plant over an extended period. Hogs seldom are poisoned by jmakeroot, unless they feed on the roots. Affected animals become listless, frequently develop severe trembles, and eventually die from exhaustion.

How cattle acquire the germ from nature is not yet understood. Ticks are a possible source In the United States it has been recovered from various species ol ticks from all sections of the country. Man apparently may acquire the infection direcUy from nature,' as well as from cattle, but what avenue, or avenues, has not been determined.

Everything points that way right now. USDA-SUte co- , operative surveys recently completed show that huge areas .from Texas north to Canada and Michigan west to California may: sec more of the pests in 1949 than in many years. Grasshopper outbreaks apparently occur in ten-year periods. Our last big year was in 1940. They have been increasing 'steadily for the last three years. Last year they caused heavy damage in sections of Wyoming and ' Montana, and farmers in many other areas reported the pests were causing crop losses. By Mark Schaeffgen . .As you drive up Riverside Drive some evening, you will probably see the McGee's .porch light shining with the thoughfulness they show an expected visitors. Through the window, as you stand on the porch, you catch a glimpse of the living room that has been home to the McGee's for many years, a glimpse of a home that has been really lived in And one that has becii loved deeply by the three who live In it. Even the dog "Boots" lovey that homej For Mrs. McGee no other place could possibly be home Mr. McGee loves his home and he loves the river that is within daydreaming distance of his favorite chair near the window. Riverside Drive is an ideal combination of the best to be had as a residential street and a street of close proximity to most of the town's activities, a sort of Park Avenue in McHenry. Though they are not natives of McHenry, Mr. McGee was born in Harvard and Mrs. McGee was born in Chicago, they have adopted the town of McHenry wholeheartedly and the town is proud of them They have expressed their high regard for McHenry by taking an active part in many civic activities Mr. McGee has just completed a line job of directing the drive for polio-funds. As a young man, Ray McGee served with the National Guard when they were called to the Mexican border. L^ter. in 1918, he became a member of the 33rd infantry which distinguished itself during the first World War in France. He is a member of the American Legion and of the V. F V. m 1925 he was commander of his Legion Post. He has been postmaster of McHenry postoffice for almost fifteen years and has successfully operated a clothing store and haberdasherv here.

She certainly enjoys life to the fullest extent and she makes life happier for many people. It is hard to believe she is the mother of | an lS-y^ar-old boy.

' The process would involve the scrapping of almost countless, rivets, bolts and nuts, and assembling the parts by fusing them together through the use of "resistance welding"--a process in which the parts jtre merely pressed together, and an electric current is passed through them for a fraction of a second. The process, according to Prof. A. R. Hard of Washington State college, produces a joint that is over SO per cent stronger than the riveted joints used mainly up to now in the production of military and naval aircraft. General adoption of the procedb for aircraft production, it was admitted, would mean a virtual revolution in manufacturing methods for military and naval aircraft, particularly in view of the tremendously higher assembly speeds possible.
