Mr. Hettermann has one of the prettiest . ^ litlte places in town and he keeps it •:X ! 'so at all times. Owing to the fact that the sub- jeet of the following sketch, taken * from the columns of the Harvard In­ dependent, was a former Johnsburgh boy, same will be of interest to our readers: "Mr. and Mrs. "Martin Palmes and daughter, Frances, were 3a r at Elgin last Saturday to attend the M;; : horseshoers' picnic. There were all I tv.. kinds of sports on the program that f| ' had been arranged to entertain the big crowd and in the list of events was the 100 yard dash. In his young- • er days, Mr. Palmes could reel off 100 ' yards in eleven seconds and he thought it would be easy picking to take first prize in this event, so he entered. He won, all right, but not being in practice he was as lame for a couple of days after the race as an old spavined horse. The first prize in this race was worth $20 in mer chandise, among the articles being fifty pounds of horseshoe nails and a wrench and bolt-cutter. There were several fast runners in the bunch, but Mr. Palmes was too much for them. His effort stiffened him up so much that he says it will be a cold day when he enters any more 100 yard dashes."

ACTIVITY AMONG SENIORS Some Will Go Away to School, While Others Will Teach „ We are pleased to note that more of our high school graduates of last year will continue their education in higher institutions of learning than ever before, notwithstanding that it was a smaller class, numbering only ten. Germer Petesch has made arrange­ ments to enter Illinois University, Urbana, to take up the chemical en­ gineering course. Mary Bonslett, we understand, in­ tends to enter Lewis Institute, Chi­ cago, to pursue the domestic science and literary course, after her return from a trip to the California exposi­ tion. Irene Vasey, whp made special preparation for teaching, has suc­ ceeded in being employed to teach the village school in her home district of Volo. She is to be congratulated up- her noble endeavors. Francis Bonslett, being somewhat undecided, will probably take a post graduate course in McHenry high school in preparation for entering college next year. Jane Owen will be a regular stu­ dent of the liberal arts and science department of the State University, Urbana, 111. ^ Irene Buhr and Laura Barbian will probably remain in McHenry this year to engage in profitable employ­ ment with the intention of entering school next year. Guy Bacon, we are informed, has just been engaged to teach a school in Lake county. He also has firm resolutions made to enter college aft­ er this year. Lenore Freund, who prepared for the teacher's examination last spring, is employed to teach one of the neighboring county districts. Besides these it is reported that a number of the class of 1914 are ar­ ranging to go elsewhere this year, amongst them being Edyth Petesch, Illinois University; Esther Stoffel, Northwestern University, and Harry Stephenson, Illinios University. $5.00 For Your Old Stove Until September 15th we offer this for any wood or coal range, gaso­ line stove, gas stove or hot plate to be applied on the purchase price of a new Cabinet gas range.
