Add To Honor Roll -The young man said he thought we ought to print a "retraction" about the honor roll, but we think he really meant an "addition."

Gospel Church News In this Thanksgiving season, /•J we do well to remember the proclamation of our president of these United States, in which all the people of our nation are urged to observe Thanksgiving day by gathering in houses of worship as veil as in theshomes for the purpose of giving thanks to Him, who is the Giver of •very good and perfect gift. With the inspired psalmist of old we would say: "Enter into His grates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise, be thankful unto Him, and bless His name." (Psalm 100:4) Our annual Thanksgiving service will be held in the morning of Thanksgiving day at 10:30. We extend a cordial welcome to friends and neighbors to this service, dedicated to the honor and praise of our gracious God. Nothing could be more proper • than that , of setting apart a day for special Thanksgiving, when fields and orchards have betn harvested and when we once more art being reminded of God's great goodness in providing so bountifully for our needs^ And again we invite t.i our service on the next Lord's Day, Sunday Bitile School at 10 a.m, morning worship service at li o'clock and evening Gospel service at 7:4.- p.m. (SAIN NEW JOY IN LIFE HIT* i« no MAD for you to IM tirod, nervous,, cranky or constipated if duo to dietary deficient Ml whkh occur only whon fhe daily intakjji •f S-vitamins and Niacin ii let» than minimuitt n^tiramtnh ovor a prolonged period.

A salesman comes by and sells you something to be delivered in the future so you have to pay him some money down. That's for the birds. You never saw him befoie, yet you have to put money down to prove you won't pull up stakes and leave your home and all before he gets back. It ought to be the other way around.

Henry Marlowe of Huntley was rummaging through his attic last Sunday afternoon and found a list that he had made of all the farmers farming in the, Huntley school district in 1931. There were 133. A careful check finds that only eighteen of these are still farming t^ere. Quite , a change-over. ^ We have a new 1950 census book recently released by the Department of Commerce. It says there are 2,425 farms in McHenry county. Compared to 1945, there are now three farms of 1,000 acres or over compared to two then. There is no significant difference in the number of 200-acre farms. The 100 to 140 acre farms decreased from 547 to 497. Farms of three acres or less increased from 7 to 26. In Illinois, the number of farms dropped from 237,000 in 1920 to 195,000 in 1950. Suppose the rest of them are covered with houses, used cars and used machinery. It takes a bigger farm or a nonfarm income to stay in business. One hundred and seventy-five attended our extension meeting last WMfteiday night at Westwood school.' An even 100 ate of the delicious turkey dinner served by Mrs. Periman and her crew 4n the school cafeteria. Dr. Glenn Salisbury, our speaker, certainly didn't leave any doubt in the minds of most of those present as to his feelings .about the inadequacy of agricultural research. He said that $83 million was spent on all research in agriculture in 1949 while the politicians spent $175 million on potato subsidies alone. He said that the University of Illinois installed two pipe lines in their dairy barns three years ago to move milk from the milking machine to the holding tank. One line has net been dismantled since it was instilled and the average bacteria count is 8700 while the other unit which is dismantled for cleaning daily runs quite a bit higher.. Dairy equipment that is exposed to air apparently picks up a lot of airborne bacteria. Another interesting fact he brought out was that five times as much land was released for production of human food since 1930 by reduction in the number of horses than has been needed to feed the increased population in that time. Over 40 million acres was needed before 1930 to feed the horses oats, corn and hay. This land is now available to feed people. - •» Illinois cows produced 7 percent less milk in October than in September but 2 percent more than October, 1951. Cows are producing 4 percent more milk than a year ago and 7 percent over the last ten-year average. With the gradual reduction in number of cows in the county, farmers have kept the better producers, no doubt. Farmers do know their cows around here.

Wive* with red-green color blind husbands shouldn't throw different colored socks into their husbands suitcases loose. Dr. Francis Wyatt, a leading chemist of his day, saiid in 1891, "All newly discovered truths, when first told to an unperpared society, are first denounced, put aside and forgotten by the majority. A generation or two later, we see these same truths accepted and even the dullest wonder how we could ever have denied them." "Men may come and men may go, but science remains behind" Wyatt continued. That's the reason why great men are never recognized until they are gone. Along with this goes the saying by a philosopher by the name of Meyer, I think, who said, "It isn't what people don't know that hurts them, it's that they know so much that isn't so." ADULTS URGED TO SELECT GIFT FOR CHILD HIMSELF "Buy the gift for the child, not for yourself," an expert In family life education advise3 parents and other adults who are doing their Christmas shopping early. He is "^Lester A. Kirkendall, Ph. D„ of Oregon State college, Corvallis, Oregon, who writes lit the December, 1952, issue of Book House magazine: "A child's interests and abilities shculd be considered in buying a gift for him.

He should be able to build or to do things with them." Dr. Kirkendall also suggests that the buyer of toys for children consider "supplementing what the child already has that interests him." Among the possibilities in this connection are dishes for a tea table, a doll family for a doll house, a tco! box for nails, cars and trucks for a miniature town, additional stamps for a collection, books for a growing library, or a magnifying glass for a rock collection. High on his list of worth-whilt Christmas gifts for children a?*e building blocks, modeling cla>, paints, sewing baskets, construction sets and rubber dy-dee dotls that can be safely "dunked, dressed and undressed, and tad like a real baby." He warns adults against giving children something expensive and or beautiful that is meant just "to be looked at," unless they want Christmas morning to be a time of disappointment both for them and for the child. + •• ' "'-j; .
