AMERICAN LEGION NOTES The post has engaged -the services of a farm hand to assist Paul Schumacher, who has been unable to look after his farm on account of illness. The officials of the McHenry post are very desirous of larger meetings and with this thought in mind everything is being done to make the meetings interesting. The post is planning a home talent play to be staged in this city some time before Lent. Plajis for the play are now being formulated and it is hoped that things will so shape themselves as to enable the post to select a cast and start rehearsals at an early date. The McHenry post has started preliminary work on what is hoped will soon bring about the organization in this city of a Ladies' Auxiliary. Mothers, wife and sisters of Legion members are eligible to membership in the auxiliary and it is the hoj»e of the officials of the McHenry post to interest many of the ladies in this community. A membership drive is to be put on very shortly. The membership has been divided into four teams, captained by James Halpin, Arthur Smith, Albert Barbian and James Doherty. There are nearly one hundred young men in this city and community who are eligible to membership in the McHenry post and the drive is being put on in the hope that most of these will be brought into the fold. A meeting of McHenry post, American Legion, was held at Forester hall, in the Telephone Exchange building, last Thursday evening. There was a good attendance, which gave evidence that members are beginning to take more interest in their organization and more fully appreciate what the Legion has been doing and aims to do for. ex-service men in the future. Atty. Wife Carroll of Woodstock was present and gave a very interesting talk on the principles of the organiza P -jS MCHENRY'S HOME OF AMUSEMENT "WE CAN'T PLAY THEM ALL SO WE PLAY THE BEST" THURS.
