Limiestone can be any color. Some read and grey limestone may have 15% more neutralizing value than white limestone. Forget the color and buy on price and quality. Some limestone are almost pure calcium while others contain varying quantities of magnesium as well as minor elements and impurities. The lowest grade of acceptable aglime in any state is 65%CaCC>3 equivalent. The highest quality runs up to about 109% CaCC>3 equivalent. This is due to the fact ihat magnesium carbonate has a higher atomic weight. fi*-r _ K*' > - i*.* : 1 ** ri • -l Members and guests of the McHenry Kiwanis club are shown at lunch last week at the Legion home.

Tax Stamps Are Required Soon Harry C. Herendeen, McHenry County Recorder of Deeds, has announced that effective Jan. 1, 1968, State of Illinois Tax stamps will be required on most deeds. These tax stamps are to replace the Federal Revenue Stamps which will no longer be required after Dec. 31, 1367. The State Tax Stamp charges will be on the basis of 50 cents for each $500. valuation or any part thereof with a minimum charge of 50 cents. Each deed must be accompanied by a declaration of value form as prescribed by the Illinois Revenue department. Each form must be filled out and signed by both buyer and seller or their agents in the transaction. The full value of the transaction must be declared on the declaration of value but tax stamps will only be required for the actual amount of cash paid on the transaction. In other words, the amount of any mortgage will not be used in computing the amount of tax stamps required. Any person wilfully falsifying the declaration of value will be subject to a fine of $500 or six months in jail or both, at the discretion of the court. All information contained in declarations that are filed under this Act is confidential, except for official purposes. Real Estate transferred within McHenry County must have stamps purchased from this county. Each county has a code number and stamps from one county are not acceptable in another county. The purpose of this "Real Estate Transfer Tax Act" is to provide the means for attaining truer assessed valuations and to provide additional income to the state of Illinois and the individual counties. This tax an-junts to only areplacement tax and not an additional tax as it will replace the Federal Tax Stamp now required. There are several types of deeds which are exempt from the stamps and declaration of value. These exemptions areas follows: A. Deeds representing real estate transfers made before the effective date of this act, but recorded after such effective date. B. Deeds to property acquired by any governmental body or from any governmental body or deeds to property between governmental bodies, or by or from any corporation, society, association, foundation or institution organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious or educational purposes. C. Deeds which secure debt or other obligation. D. Deeds, which, without additional consideration confirm, correct modify, or supplement a deed previously recorded. E. Deed where the actual consideration is less than $100.00. F. Tax deeds. G. Deeds of release of property which is security for a debt or other obligation. H. Deeds of partition. I. Deeds made pursuant to mergers of corporations. J. Deeds made by a subsidiary corporation to its parent corporation for no consideration other than the cancellation or surrender of the subsidiary's stock. K. Deeds wherein there is an actual exchange of real estate except that that money difference of money's worth paid from one to the other shall not be exempt from the tax. L. Deeds representing transfer subject to the imposition of a documentary stamp tax imposed by the government of the United States, except that such deeds shall not be exempt from filing the declaration.

"You adults who are reading this Warrior are more than likely interested in the affairs of our youth. It is therefore your job to see that this nuisance does not go any further. Please, for your benefit as well as for the future generations, speak now while there is still hope!" HYBRID ROSE PROTECTION Most hybrid roses are not completely hardy in the McHenry county area. They need some form of protection. Rose cones are normally used during the winter to protect the plant. The first step in protecting bush-type roses is to cut the canes back to eighteen inches, or less, in order that they wilL^t under the cone. The rwe cone protects the plant {fom rapidly changing temperatures and keeps the plant uniformly c'old through the winter. Weight the cone down with soil, bricks or stones. Now is a good time to complete your winter protection of roses. Climbing roses should not be . cut back now. If you do, they will not blossom next spring. You can lay climbing roses on the ground and cover with a mulch. McHenry Youth Rates High In Oratory Contest Several local area students attending Elgin Community college scored high honors in three recent speech tournaments, despite keen competition from much larger colleges and universities. The students are members of the ECC forensics and debate team, organized only two months ago by Dr. Gail Shadwell of the College's English department. Among students awarded "good" ratings (third highest) in various events was Michael P. Kutnick, 916 W. Plum,Griswold Lake, McHenry, moratory and after-dinner speaking. JURY VERDICT Charles W.

The Story of Seeds - Mrs. McCulloh's second grade class completed a study of various types of seed from plants, flowers, weeds, trees, and fruit. Included was the study of different kinds of flowering bulbs which the children gathered pictures of. The class experienced the planting of bulbs, not only for measurement techniques, etc., but for the be$utification of our school. The bulbs were planted alphabetically so that the children will recognize theirs in the Spring. The Study of Phonics - Miss Brickley's first grade class is spending much time in both ear training of sounds of letters ajjd eye training in recognizing the letter's name. The whole alphabet is studied trying to learn letters in order and out of order along with the sound. At first grade level, the children work with the long and short vowel sounds plus the sounds of the consonants, blends, dipthongs and digraphs. Records for all of these are played that the children can listen to for review. Each child has a booklet covering the vowels and consonants that are. done so far. , .1 w W.O.

Sign Up For U.S. Savings Bonds/ New Freedom Shares The war against Crime appears to be making slow progress, if measured by action taken in the United States Congress. While the U.S. House and Senate have been debating the issue of crime in America, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has reported a 17 percent increase in serious crimes for the first six months in 1967 -- over the same period in 1966. In Washington, D.C., the increase was 2%times the national rate. This startling statistic induces many explanations. However, it cannot be said in this instance that crime results from poverty since our nation's capital has the highest per capita income in any large American city. The House-passed anti-riot bill and even the flag desecration bill appear to be stalled in the Senate, with far too little interest shown by the Attorney General and the President for these vital measures. Without fanfare or headlines the Congress recently passed a significant piece of anticrime legislation, describedgenerally as the "Obstruction of Criminal Investigations" bill. This measure (S. 676) makes it a federal offense tothreaten, intimidate, or bribe a witness to a criminal investigation and subjects violators to stiff fines and imprisonment. The new law is aimed primarily at members of the organized crime syndicate who have thwarted numerous criminal investigations by bribing, intimidating, kidnapping and even murdering witnesses to the investigation. While it is already an offense to attack witnesses when an actual trial is in progress, the new law covers the investigation process which must be undertaken before a criminal proceeding can be instituted. In enacting this legislation, the federal government has followed the lead of several of the states which have already provided similar statutes relating to offenses committed within their borders. As the report of the House McCLOR y REPORTS From Washington judiciary committee points out, the real need for this legislation is in preparing cases for trial "in the field of organized crime and racketeering*"'*." In cases of that type, "witnesses consistently refuse to cooperate*** because of threats or other kinds of intimidations directed at them or their families." The ability of organized crime to impose silence on its members and thereby protect both the leaders and the membership is the primary source of its power and affluence. The enactment of S. 676 should enable this stranglehold of the organized criminal to be broken. Thus, a new weapon in the war against crime is forged. However, much more must be done, by the Congress and by the law enforcement agencies before any real progress against crime and its by-products can be realized. SUNDAY S I SERMON HAPPINESS Ask ten friends to give you their definition of the word"happlness" and no two answers will be exactly the same. Happiness is a relative thing. Each man, whether he admits it or not, searches constantly for happiness. And, regretfully, many people who find it are unable to recognize it But the wise man learns, often late^ in life, that he never foundnappiness because he did not really know what he was searching for. He realizes that happiness is incorrectly associated with getting and receiving; to often it is not paired with the idea of giving. Happiness comes when we realize that we have served some useful purpose in this life; that we have, in some small way, helped another human being; that we have found a measure of peace with God and with the world. So look not for happiness with a lantern in the dark 6f night You will not find it Look for happiness in the things you do. Look for happiness in what you are; in the value you have to yourself and to others. USE THE CLASSIFIED Dame, Intolerance and Magic of Melies.
