At the conclusion have one after another read his list and where two or more boys have the same word each must cross out his word. At the conclusion see which one has the largest list of Irish things that no one else mentioned at all. His one is- the winner. Feeding The Pigs Have four or five boys stud with their mouths open. Fix small holes in a sheet over a doorway. Let the girls throw green olives trying to hit the mouth of one of the boys. As soon as one boy gets an olive he must get out of the way for another boy to have a chance. Each gixi must have a chance to throw at least one olive. Selecting Partners Giyjs each boy a slip of paper CORpiefces of cardboard cut in the shape of a pig if desired, or else cut in the shape of a shamrock. When the boy secured his name he is also given a large green paper which he is to give his partner for the dinner to wear about her waist. Irish Refreshments Green candles may be stuck in Irish Potatoes to light the table. For refreshments you may wish to consider some of these ideas. Green pea, soup, blarney sandwiches, made o£ tongue and cut in shamrock shape, potato chips or salad, green olives, pigs in blankets which are oysters wrapped in strips of bacon and baked, pistachio ice cream, tea balls of candy covered with brown cinnamon, which look like potatoes. A prize may be given the one who tells the best Irish joke or story at the table. Potato Race In the potato race lay four or five rows of potatoes, each row containing the same number or potatoes. Each contestant must run out and pick up the first potato in his row and come back and put it in the bin and then get the second potato and return it. The one completing the picking up of all his potatoes first is the winner. Hot Potato \ From two lines either, seated or standing and pass a hot baked potato down each line. See which can pas# it the length of the line first without dropping it. Another form of hot potato is to imagine that a towel or handkerchief is a hot potato. Each one sits in the circle except "IT" who stands in the center. TTie towel is thrown from one penon to another about the circle. As soon as "tIT* catches it then the one who missed it or better the one who threw it last has to take his place as "IT*; Wearing Of The Green ' Have a number of different slips of paper, one for each person in t$kfl party on which are written things that are green such as lettuce cabbage, celery, spinish, General Green, or any other names you wish. One of these is pinned on the back of each .person and he tried to get as many of the names on the backs of the guests of the party without letting anyone see what is on his back. At the end of five minutes a whistle is blown and the reward goes to the one who has copied the largest number of names correctly. Mr. Towneend and, Miss .

A McHenry man reports he has seen a bluebird and a robin, also a flock of wild geese. Has anyone else seen signs of spring? We heard one person talking about digging parsnips and horseradish. Farmers have been considerably excited about the milk question but Ringwood came to their relief. The Bowman plant can take care of a great quantity of what wafe delfverefl to Borden from this part and producers have decided that is the best they can do. Only one drawback, the road* are not so good as to McHenry, cement only part way to Ringwood. C. E. Jecks was a Woodstock visitor Saturday. He is able to walk without crutches in smooth places. If not &>ft he goes to the barn and helps his man at milking time. Rural carrier No. 1 from West McHenry must be vacationing.
