Aralitf^ The Landlady ...Dorothy Walters Mary Wayne, until recently the daughter and secretary of an industrious novelist, but one whose books never sold, finds herself in the shab^ biest kind of a boarding house with five dollars between her and the cruel cold world. Mary tries to stall the landlady on the board bill, bat a little cooker, on which she had been doing some forbidden cooking, and which had been thrust under the bed at tile approach of the enemy, sets fire to the counterpane, making it doubly incumbent on the old lady to give Mary the air and call the fire engines. In answer to an ad placed by "The Brain Workers' " employment agency, Mary applies for a position, but being without reference the agency refuses to even consider hter. As Mary is leaving the office, she meets NelJ^ Norcross, who has just obtained a position, but celebrates her good fortune by becoming very ill. There is nothing for Mary to do but swap personalities and take the position, which is in the home of Miss Caroline Marshall, an old maid and a religious enthusiast. Bill, her nephew, has just returned from college, bringing with him an old pal, Pete, whom he smuggles into the house as his valet. Pete makes a very good valet until Mary arrives at the mansion. To get even with his "master" for placing him in such a lowly position vfith such glorious prospects in sight, Pete suggests to Bill's aunt that she introduce Bill to society. via the religious route, and hold a big reception for the bishop. Bill displays no enthusiasm for this plan and leaves the house for the evening, announcing that he is going to a very exclusive affair.- Bill has his own conception of society. The affair is exclusive until the police arrive, making it necessary for Mary to come to court and bail out Bill and his prize fighter friend, "Kid Whaley." But having the goods on him, Mary makes Bill attend a very swell affair given by his aunt, but Bill scandalizes his aunt's social position by bringing scrappy Kid, Whaley to the dinner. One day while swimming in Larchmont bay, with the valet, Mary is deserted by the yachting party to which she belongs, who under orders from Bill, the jealous thing, orders the yacht to put about.

HEBRON RASCALS TAKE OPENER First of jinn* will watch the final outcome with interest never before manifested the game here. The teams, on paper at least,-are very evenly niatched. Both have made excellent records during the playing season now coming to a close and the members of both teams are in the best of condition for the series, which will decide the championship of McHenry county. While the greatest interest in the series is shared by the follower* of the two teams residing at Hebron and Woodstock, McHenry is also displaying keen concern, brought aboqft thru the fact that two of our young men, Henry Miller and Frank Jus ten, are members of the Hebron quintet and as such their work with that team has gone a long ways toward bringing basket ball fame to Hebron in a measure very seldom equalled by towns many times its size.. While Hebron's victory of last Saturday night brought great rejoicing to the hearts of the victors as well as their loyal following, it has not embued the team with an over confidence, as each and every member fully appreiatea Woodstock's strength and therego into the second to be held at the armory at Woodstock this (Thursday) evening, full of fight and with a determination to play their hardest to win. Altho the weather was anything but favorable for such a trip, several from here drove to Hebron last Saturday evening and it is expected that McHenry will send a big delegation over to the county seat tonight. Trim Woodstock Team In Three Game Series PHONE 3 Pi ' The first of a three-game aeries between the Hebron Rascals and Purple Meteors of Woodstock was staged at Hebron before a "packed" house last Saturday evening, at which time the former team was returned the winner by a score of 27 to 14.

Nothing in the way of recent agricultural news concerns McHenry county farmers more directly, declares A. J. Gafke, county advisor, than the ratification of the committee of seventeen grain marketing plan at Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday. McHenry county, according to the latest available reports, raises 23,839 bushels of winter wheat and 3,396,773 bushels of corn yearly. 'This grain,". declares William G. Eckhardt, grain marketing director of' the Illinois Agricultural association and treasurer of the -committee of seventeen, "can now he marketed by the farmers themselves, where before it has too often been in the hands of -peculators. The plan provides for the farmers marketing their own grain with their own elevators and their own national sales .agency; in co-operation rather than competition with grain dealers and bankers. It aims to stabilize the market and work for the good of the consumer as well as the grower." Great enthusiasm and desire for co-operation was shown at the ratification conference, according to reports. 107 delegates from twentythree states attended. Fourteen of these were Illinois delegates, the largest representation allowed any one state. U: S. Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace and President J.

Miss Pryor has promised to take her ancient history class (that's us) to the art intitute some day soon. We are trying 'to get something worth while in the year book. Miss Peterson suggested themes of- course. Every freshman felt much better Friday night. Reason: No more exams for ten long weeks. Three certain freshman girls will turn out to be real chorus girls some day. Their first effort wilh be seen in the coming minstrel show. Tracing the family tree of the English king seems like advertising toy balloons or drawing pictures of soap bubbles to some of the ancient history class.
