Sick List Mrs. Alice Dilg is in Sherman hospital in Elgin, where she underwent a major operation last week. Our thoughts and prayers are with her, and all hopes are for a speedy recovery. Mrs. Mildred Liss was expected home from a two-week stay in Edgewater hospital in Chicago: Several of her Ihoughtful neighbors have made Ihe long trip in to visit her, and to let her know that her men folk are making out all right. They usually manage, but really miss the woman of the house when she has to be away. interesting, and well worth the trouble to find a daytime babysitter, for those who need one. All for now. don't forget, last call for income tax returns. If it will please her at her age, why not tell her she's beautiful? But don't yawn when you say it. MILK PRODUCTION STABILIZED BUT DAIRYMEN QUIT Quite a number of dairy farmers quit dairying in 1958 and went into what they hope will be more profitable work. Other dairymen added more j cows to develop more profit - J able dairy businesses. A few farmers began dairying for the first time. All together, the total number of dairy cows was trimmed by almost 3 percent during the past year. At the beginning of this year.cow numbers were estimated at 21.606.000 head. : which was 22 percent below the record high in 1945 and the smallest number on farms since 1921. Numbers of milk cows will surely be reduced again this year, though probablv not so much as in 1958. Milk production per cow went up again. The average was 6.- 330 pounds, which was nearly 3 percent more than average production in ' the. previous year. Milk production per cow has increased about 3 percent each year for four years and is expected to increase about that much this year. Total milk production apparently decreased by 'a percent in 1958. It was the first year in which milk production had not increased since 1952. USDA dairv economists expect total production to resume its uptrend this year. But they figure that .the increase will be less than 1 percent. Total milk production has increased much more slowly Thursday, April 9* 1$59 COMING EXT WEEK!

As a result of its recent Illinois Eye Bank Week campaign held Feb. 15 to 22, the Illinois ; Eye Bank of the Illinois Socij ety for the Prevention of Blind- , ness has received a number of | inquiries from persons wishing i to sell their eyes to the Illinois Eye Bank. Alina Drake, executhe secretary of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of I Blindness, which operates the | Illinois Eye Bank, pointed, out • the fact that selling one's eyes • is neither legally nor medically possible. She stressed the ; following facts about the Illinois Eye Bank program. The Illinois Eye Bank neither buys nor sells eyes. To do so would defeat the very purpose for the existence of an in certain cases through corneal transplant surgery..
