She brushes and wipes and shakes and washes, and lo, almost overnight little trace of winter's ravages are evident. Here in early May I look out on a countryside placid, green, soft and beguiling.

The eternal changing of the seasons is to me one of God's greatest miracles. HERE AT OUR Out of the Humdrum mission center in Blue Earth, we have many interesting visitors. They come from all walks of life, bringing in boxes of things to be given the needy, or picking them up to be delivered or used themselves. They have different philosophies and opinions on government, religion, human nature, modern methods of communication, industry and the like. Just to listen to them is for me an education.

I wish I had the time to sit with them longer than I do, but while I am still I have to sandwich them in between my notebook, the telephone and typewriter, or early in the morning or late at night. I WOULD SAY that for the most part the folks who come here for things they need, are gracious, appreciative and in a way an inspiration to me. Of course we come into contact with chiselers and those 'in SUCCESS Buys Steer at Junior League Auction Journal Photo by Jonwnsen a huge truck outside the Municipal torium. A. P.

"They are usually boiled for 20 minutes before being eaten.

They have a fishy tang." The eggs are gathered during the penguin "laying time" ending in June. 'The eggs must be picked up by buyers at our store in Cape Town," Bosman adds. "I am expecting about 7,000 applications. Unfortunately, according to our estimates, we will be able to satisfy only about 3,000 of the applicants."

You get taken in by them now and then, just as I do. But you learn to pick out the chaff from the wheat. But lately we have been visited by persons who are bitter, disgcuntled, caustic, critical of every governmental agency or community effort to help the needy. They feel sinned against by God and man. Now I resent this.

I have too much faith in my government and its strengths and weaknesses to want to listen to someone abuse it. So for my part those folks can keep on going.

The Chicago fire in 1871 missed the stockyards, but a fire in 1912 destroyed a hotel which was replaced by the Stockyards Inn.

A siege of foot-and-mouth disease in 1914 crippled the yards' operation for almost two years. A fire in 1934, started by a cigarette or match dropped into straw, burned out the Exchange Building, the re-built Stockyards Inn, the old International amphitheater and scores of pens and animals. The loss was $8 million and a score of men Injured. But the -following Monday the yards opened for business as usual as lumber and carpenters arrived for the rebuilding job. The depression of the 1930s and the yards' worker strikes crimped the operation but failed to stop it.

A 100 years ago the yards started out as a booming success. Receipts in 1866 totaled head of livestock. The largest record year In receipts was 1924 when a total of 18,653,390 head of cattle, calves, hogs, sheep CHICAGO IB The Chicago Union Stock Yards celebrates Its 100th anniversary this year. And there has never been a dull moment. The sounds of lowing cattle, bleating sheep and grunting hogs still excite livestock men.

More than 1,100,000,000 meat- producing animals have passed through the yards since It opened for business Christmas day, 1865. The 350 acres of yards on Chicago's southwest side on Halsted Street began as a swampy meadow. Establishment of the yards was underwritten by the coming railroads and Chicago business tycoons. Civil War veterans were hired to dig ditches to drain the area and build fences and buildings. The new yard combined operations of several scattered yards and smoothed the pricing and grading of livestock.

It became an organized livestock operation for the first time in Chicago's early stockyards history. The layout of chutes, pens and buildings has survived disease, fire, depression and the departure of packers. The major packers set up processing plants in smaller cities closer INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY SERVICE 100 IOWA ST.

Jim Mills of Hutchinson, had to catch a five pound catfish three times before he landed it. Mills caught the fish on Kingman Lake but the line broke before he could pull it in. Mills, 78, grabbed the broken line with the fish on it and, pulled it in.

As he held it up for his wife to see the fish flipped off and back into the lake. Mills jumped into the water, grabbed the fish with his bare hands and carried it well ashore for keeps.
