Johnsburg school children, with their respective teachers, held their annual picnic at the close of school Tuesday. Teachers and pupils are welcoming a vacation after a ten months' school session. A nice little crowd of Johnsburg children approached the communion tabl& for the first time Sunday, June 23. The sanctity of the hour was most impressively felt by the large attending congregation. The entertainment given by the school children of Johnsburg was well attended and the children were highly applauded for their clever perfor mance. Much credit is due the ven­ erable sisters, teachers of Johnsburg school, for their untiring efforts, of which Monday night's program gave ample proof of their capabilities. Instead of a solitary brooding over the departure of some more heroic from the village of Johnsburg, who were tailed to the flag, a fare­ well dance was given in their behalf at Stubby's hall and with gleeful hearts for the victory, which the boys are to help bring about, the crowd moved about in the happiest of moods, dancing rhythmically to the flow of the music. All join in wishing the boys "good luck." Preparations are under wjas to make the Fourth of July at Columbia park, Johnsburg bridge, an enjoyable one. Matinee dancing at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Will have to wait some time before we can tell of all the changes. There are several farmers in this neighborhood who would like compe­ tent farm help, but have no use for the kirfii some advocate, those who never worked on a farm. Their own time is worth too much to spend it teaching someone else, as we hear they wa#t big wages while learning. A man, claiming to have been sent out from Chicago to inspect milk houses and milk utensils, was calling on farmers here. He very politely in­ formed them that WE are not going to ask the farmer to build, because they can get neither material nor workmen. All we are asking is to keep clean. And the farmers thought personal cleanliness fully as neces­ sary as clean milk houses and utensils. An unhaven face, a badly soiled sweat­ er and trousers that received their last brushing anri pressing last year did not speak very highly for the one giving advice. It's well to practice what you preach. Mr. and Mrs. Edward O'Brien and children and Miss Anna Meagher of Gilberts spent Sunday with Mrs. Ben Wegener, Jr. Ludwig KaufS of Chicago, who was employed at the Petesch drug store last summer, was shaking hands with friends in town last Sunday.
