Chicago papers recently con­tained the gruesome story of a janitor killing a woman and burn­ing her body in a furnace of the building where he was employed.

The woman was Mrs. Rose MI- chaelis, 68, a cousin of Mrs. Jane Tauber and Miss Esther Leiser, of Chatsworth. She was a daugh­ter of Fred Leiser, who conduct­ed a store in Kempton for a time about 35 years ago. She had clerked in the Leiser store in Cul­lom when a girl, and also was bookkeeper in the Leiser store in Herscher.

Mrs. Michaelis disappeared February 28th. Search for her started the next day after a heel of a shoe, identified as belonging to Mrs. Michalis, was found in the alley.

Joseph Nischt, 30-year-od jani­tor, was suspected and arrested. He confessed that he killed Mrs. Michaelis, but wasn’t sure wheth­er she was dead or aliVe when he placed the body in a furnace.

He hit the woman with his fists in an alley behind her home near the apartment building where he worked, he said.

Milton Michaelis, 60, the wo­man’s husband, was at work in a war plant a t the time his wife disappeared.

Mrs. Michaelis had visited her Chatsworth relatives on several occasions.

HONEGGERS’ U. S. CERTIFIED AND £PULLORUM CONTROLLED

BABY CHICKSThere must be a reason why we are sold out of chicks un­til May! Why don't you "nose around" a bit and find out exactly what the good operators really make on Honegger Leghorns? When we say that we have customers who an­nually make as much on 400 Layers as on 80 acres of land ($1600.00 net profit above feed costs), or sell $10,000 worth of eggs from I 600 layers, this is not idle talk. These are really facts!

S till N o t Too L ate to O rder ChicksWe have a special reduced price that goes into effect May 18. J. S. Corpe made $4.22 profit per hen above feed cost on pullets purchased June 4. Order now and join the parade of successful poultrymen.Anyone whose chick order is already booked, may change it to May 18 or later, in order to take advantage of the reduced price.

Room Im provem ent ProjectArietta Seeman, Chenoa, member of the Eppards Point Busy

Bees Home Economics Club, Is shown in the bedroom which she com­pletely redecorated and rearranged as part of her 4-H Room Im­provement project. ''This project is designed to teaoh girls how to make various rooms in the home more attractive and convenient, us­ing their own hands and ideas, with a minimum of new materials. Arietta's attractive and cheerful room Is typical of the work done by many girls fn the Home Economics 4-H Clubs. She has been in 4-H work eight years. She feels that 4-H has helped her learn a great deal” which she may not have had an opportunity to leam otherwise and she has "enjoyed the achievement awards,” that came to her as a result of doing the job well. Her mother, Mrs. Fred Seeman, is leader of her Local Club.

. . . . Looking F o rw a rd . . . .Over thirty years ago, a group of forward looking men and wo­

men set in motion the machinery from which developed the Livingston County Farm Bureau. Since its beginning the Farm Bureau’s growth has been constant . . . It is providing a. needed service for farmers.

The Farm Bureau provides an opportunity for its members to: Solve by cooperation individual problems of mutual interest. Make possible County-wide programs of factual information on all phases of farming and rural living.Cooperate with other organizations on problems of mutual in­terest.Protect their interest in State and National Laws.Increase their income and lower their farming costs.

As farmers look to the future, they can be sure of two facts . . . . First, they will be faced with many problems . . . . problems which they cannot solve without the help of their neighbors; Second, other groups will be well organized to obtain what they believe to be their just rights.

twin purebred iambs bom recent­ly. Harold’s start in 4-H work is typical of that of many other 4-Her's. Last year when Harold was 10, his father, Frank Davis, bought two purebred bred ewes for him. Last fall they purchas­ed a purebred ram. This spring Harold already has a small pure­bred flock started. Harold says

he likes 4-H club work immense­ly, especially "going to Local Club meetings.” Marshall Hanson, Pontiac, is Local Leader of the Owego Club this year.

Everyone in the band enjoys these new songs, and they are sure that the public will, too, when the next concert comes around.

COLLECTORS SCORE HIGH IN POUO DRIVE

STATE INSPECTORS VISIT C.T.H.&

Mr. Dick Edmundson, an in­spector from the State Office of Public Instruction a t Springfield, spent last Tuesday morning at CTHS visiting classes.

He was interested in the work of the school and was a pleasant and courteous classroom visitor. From his comments on the visit, Mr. Edmunds on apparently found the work being done here of a satisfactory nature. He remarked favorably on our well-behaved and seemingly studious student group. His formal report will be made later to the board in writ­ing.

On Friday Mr. Foster Keagle, State physical education inspector from Springfield, was here to cheek and okay present physical education standards at CTHS.

—T—CLASS HONORS ARE ANNOUNCED

This year the Seniors are above average with their grades. The class average is 85.8. The vale­dictorian, who is Mary Margaret Herr, has a four years’ average of 95.4. Joan Johnson, the salu- tatorian, was close behind with an average of 94.8. Eleanor Ster­renberg was third with 94.2. Those with average grades over 90 are: Beryl Cording, Betty Shocky, Luella Perkins, and Lu cille Bruner. The class has work ed hard the last four years and deserve all the credit they can get. Nice going, Seniors!

—T—SENIORS TAKE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS '

Seven seniors, accompanied by Miss Owens, went to Galiager's Business college at Kankakee, on Saturday, February 24, to take Civil Service examinations. Each student had to take his own type­writer or make arrangements for renting one.

The test was divided into two parts. The morning part consist;- ed of an intelligence test which covered genera) knowledge, and the afternoon part was a practi­cal application test. Each senior took the examination for the po­sition of Clerk-Stenographer I, which includes both shorthand and typing.

The seniors are awaiting the results of the test.

STU D EN TS SE E M OVIESThe Students at CTHS enjoyed

a movie about the making of syn­thetic rubber last week. The name of It was "Freedom Rides on Rubber,” and it was sent out by the Firestone Rubber company.

The pitcure showed how syn­thetic rubber is made and what It contains. Synthetic rubber is

, substituted for the real thing in making products for present civil­ian use. I t is daily becoming more and more important.

, Besides showing the technical 3lde of the rubber business, the movie gave the students a good view of the growth of the car— from the first flivver to the lat­est modern wonder. The value of rubber in connection with the progress in vehicle construction was also pointed but.

On the whole, the movie was very educational and was enjoyed very much by all the fellows and girls.

—T—LAB N O TES

A few of the students have re­ported that they have seen some of the birds back again, particu­larly the robins and turtle doves. Miss Plaster has also reported seeing a meadow lark. Let’s hope the snow doesn’t send them south again.

Fbr the next six weeks the Biology students will be studying blocks of wood (all common kinds). There will be about forty- eight in all.

I t seems as though the cold weather hasn’t bothered the Bi­ology class. In spite of the snow they have their potatoes planted and are sure that they'll grow— in flower pots.

—T—WINS D.A.R. AWARD

One day last week the SenW class voted for their “best citi­zen.” By "best citizen” we mean the one who is mos*. dependable, will work hard for everyone, sees that everything Is done on time, and Is an all-around good sport. Every year the entire class selects the one to receive the award ot the Daughters of the American Revoltuion. This year Mary Margaret Herr received the most votes. Congratulations, Margy.
