In 1887 he severed his con-
nection with the Zion Indus
tries, and opened a Feed and
Supply store with his brother
John, in part of the barn on
the Chas. Fulton place located
on Sheridan Road and 33rd
Street.
Goes Into Business
For Himself
A year later Mr.. Richards
opened his own place in the
Chicago and North Western
Railway freight shed. At that
time the building was over
400 feet long, Mr.. Richards u.s.
ing the north 100 feet.
After having had very sue
cessful year during 1888, the
Richards Feed and Supply
store was nearly wiped out by
fire; the south end of the
building being destroyed
through a grass fire. Forum
ately, the north part was saw
ed, though much of the stock
was ruined by water. However,
Mr.. Richards believed in the
future; and is grateful to God
for the success he has had in
his business.
Even during the war time
he was able to receive 5 and 6
cars month of Red Star fer
tilizer. So far this spring, 4
cars have arrived as we'll as
many truck loads.
He also handles two very
popular brands of poultry and
livestock feeds - Conkey V-O
and Vitality, as we'll as others.
Wisconsin's fine potatoes from
jacques Seed Co. arrive in
truck loads, as we'll as Stelford
hybrid seed corn, Alfalfa, Tim
othy and Glover seed; and he
enjoys a large call for Con-
don's Rockford, ILL.,, garden
seeds, propagated right here
in the climate of the lake re-
gion.
Mr.. Richards also handles
and recommends Page garden
tractors, especially suited for
small farms and truck gardens.
The reason he advises the pur-
chase of these tractors is that
they are gear driven.
His poultry equipment and
supplies cover a large field
and many Of the most popular
brands.
He wishes to express a word
of thanks to the many folks
in the Zion-Benton area and
also over Lake County, whose
patronage he has enjoyed all
these years.

The preservation of youth
full vigor and continued fertil-
ity is one of the ~criteria by
which we judge the adequacy
of an animals ration. Thus.
fertility and nutrition is init
mately related. Aging is the
influence of time in the pro-
cess of life. It begins at birth
and continues until the end of
life. We cannot stop it but we
can retard it. Aging is a pro-
blem of nutrition. To reap the
greatest benefits good food ha-
bits ike thrift should start
early in life. But good fod ha-
bits always pay dividends
whenever we make them a re-
gular part of our health pro-
gram.
There are no cut and dried
rules which we are to follow,
but there are a few facts we
would do well to heed if we
wish to add life to years, thus
taking away some of the fear
OF old age and giving one more
interest in life. We may begin
with weight. Within limits
thinness favors a long life. But
the principle of thinness does
not apply when it is extreme.
The starvation to which many
women subject themselves in
order TO become StyllShly thin
is decidedly harmful. Just as
overweight produces disorders
WHICH are equally disturbing
as a lessening of physical vi
gor and a sense of well being.
Also a padding of fat under
the skin is advantageous in
staving off the formation of
the fine lines on the face that
comes with aging. So the ideal
weight to strive for which will
favor a long life and at the
same time be an asset in main.

ance and contours of the body

OBSERVANCE OF HOLY DAYS

FOR MANY A now, Good Friday, and in fact the
entire Lenten and Easter season has lost much of its signifi-
canoe. Time was, and not many years back, when Christians
went to the church, of their choice, and at least passed Good
Friday in quiet and meditation. And those who did not 90 to
church somehow had regard for those who did, and acted ac-
~cordingly. Not SO today. Good Friday is a day of all day beach
parties, outings, and other forms of amusements, including
loud-playing nickelodeons, which prevent those who want,
from even hearing the church services in a satisfactory man.
ner and which give the day the flavor of a sheer holiday. Not
too many years ago we called attention to this disregard for
the sober observance of one of the most sacred days in the
Christian calendar. We had hoped that more and more there
would be that observance, but we were mistaken
H EASTER SEASON is that time of year when all
thoughts are turned to the significance of renewed life and
vigor; when men express gratitude for victory over over the
grave, and renew their faith in the Christian way of life. Old
er heads tell us that these times carried great significance; that
beginning with Holy Thursday there was peace and quiet in
observance of the days. Everything was quiet until
Easter Monday, which was a great festive day, and rightly
enough. That day was set aside for races, masquerading
through the streets and general merrynnakng. Today how
ever, there is not the patience to wait for Easter Monday,
which also means that by the time it reaches all the signnic-
ance is gone.
IT'S NO too early to urge, and hope, that this thought
will be carried to the year to come, and that the spirit Of East
er will come again. But it will be lost if the celebrations begin
on Good Friday instead of Easter Monday. And for those who
would rather not setaside the days for quiet and meditation,
let them have regard for those who do, and at least refrain
from disracting. These may be modern times, but there is
much merit in keeping alive many of the customs and ways
that have been observed through the years.

If Tatum tries to tell the Terps
that State is not as bad as it's

yawn. but in that case Big Jim
will be telling the truth.
State lost to North Carolina,
sure, but at the end Of the third

team was idle last week and

is that Maryland Saturday plays
