This seems to be the general opinion expressed by the majority of fans who witnessed the rout of the visiting team from Crystal Lake lact Sunday by our own locals, with an ever changing lineup that at all times had the situation well in hand. The final score was a mere 34 to 11 count, with Crystal Lake scoring but three field goals, two of them in the * P> Clara's Court Sponsors Xmas Part tj For Foresters and Juvenile Members The Catholic Daughters of Amer- Court Joyce Kilmer, No. 573, held •their annual children's Christmas par- • :|ty at the K.

The party was bigger and bet- . clter than ever with over 100 children ^"nresont. , Each member of the court j ^ret half and one in the last period, ought a child and there were some j which was quite evidently a gift. Eight men were sent into the game by Manager "Dutch" Bacon, and every one of them showed their stuff, all of them entering the scoring colvmn except Conway, and you all k»iow how he does his stuff when it comes to holding the opposing scores to a minimum of field goals. Kinsala managed to capture high scoring honors for the game with six ringers. This same "Zukie" was a first string sub last year, but has so improved his game that he simply cannot be kept on the bench sfny longer. If he continues to show this same, skill under the basket he will become a regular in the real sense of the word. Capt. Overton, though meeting with but little success as far as shooting was concerted, proved his worth by his excellent management of the team on the floor, and by the manner in which he handled the ball, playing <* baqgup flu^or game and using himself as a feeder for the others. Dowell, who some of the boys are already referring to as "Shires," got into the fracas for a while for the first time this year, but seemed unable to find Homes rang out with childish laughter I himself. He did, however, handle himas toys were dstributed and gladness se^ much better than at any time , extras besides, everyone present belling most enthusiastic over the success the evening's entertainment. *'• 'i A beautiful Christmas tree with jmany bright lights was the center of ,i.'^attraction, and each child was pre- ; -sented with a gift and also a box of r-, ; 'Candy from Santa himself. A very interesting program was giv- ; >en by the children -while the very tiny it ,"^.4 jtots put on their share of the program *; V-fllin a very fine manner.

This i^not so great a num- 'ber as last year for this vicinity, which is a fact to be appreciated. Who * -they are, you ask, and why have we • not heard of them before? Ah, they < :have been right here waiting for the Christmas spirit to open the hearts IjNwiei&ijjaad the eyas neighbors to , their worthy cause, and it is hoped ithat every one will profit by the fine example of helpfulness set by the Daughters of America. During the few years of its existence in this city, Court Joyce Kil- *-mer has experenced a steady growth, with the names of 130 or more members now enrolled upon its records, ; having for their aim, charity and love for their fellowmen.

The decorations were in keeping with the season and a pretty Christmas tree and Santa Claus brought joy to the hearts of the big folks as well as the little ones. Gifts were exchanged and a program consisting of the following numbers was given: ' Recitation--Audrey Rothermel. :Song--Kathrine Rothermel. Violin Solo--Marian Krause, accompanied by Mrs. A. L.

Stephenson entertained the members of their card • club at a very delightful Christmas party at their "home in Rtngwood Saturday evening. A chop suey luncheon was served at seven o'clock with the table beautifully decorated for the occasion in the Christmas colors with a "Christmas tree centerpiece carrying out the decorative scheme. The home was prettily decorated also, and the \ guests gathered about a beautifully trimmed Christmas tree where gifts last season, and my prediction is that before the season is well under way he will prove himself of real worth to the team. Fay worked as hard as ever and dropped in several neat ones, while Gus Freund also sent in a few counters during his short term at center. All in all the game was quite well played, with each and every one doing his share of the work. Nevertheless, there are quite a few rough spots that are to be polished off before the mid-season rush of fast stepping teams that are booked for the locals to meet. In the lightweight gam* .another parade of the material which is at hand this year was held by the locals, with ten men getting into the scrimmage. Even hardworking Carl Thorsell, who has showed more per severance in the last three years than most of the players, got into the game, and to the surprise of those who are ever ready to "razz," he turned in a good exhibition. Eddie Frett, speed demon of the high school last year, was the high scorer in this game, which was quite one-sided. In fact our local ponies galloped away to a 12-0 lead before the Lakers' Lights could get out of the darkness. Yes, it looks as if the McHenry fans are to have a real team or, more correctly, two real teams to provide them entertainment this winter. Let's show our appreciation by backing them strong and attending every game. The crowd at the opener wasn't anything extra, with about 200 backers being present. Remember a game every Sunday at the High School gym. Games will start at 2:15 hereafter to enable those living in the country to attend Without interfering with their work.

Everybody welcome. 80-fp prove worthy opponents for our local prides. Whether or not this will prove to be a fact can only be found out by appearing at the high school gym next Sunday afternoon and watch the flashy attack tht Dutch Bacon is developing in the^M. A. A. C's squad, led by Capt. Dick Overton. This attack seems to be improving with every game and Dutch is anxious to wear off. the rough spots before the tough boys come along in the middle of the season. At the request of Manager Harry Kirwan of Wauconda the M. A. A. C's are bringing both their teams to that city tomorrow night to do battle with the famous all-star aggregation which Harry has selected to represent Wauconda on the cage court this season. In addition to Harry Lange, Roy Flora and Bill Durrenberger of last year's tournament champions, he has Grote and Plummer of the former Waukegan Billy Gees to aid him. Anyone knowing these players can realize the job McHenry is going to have to down this bunch, but don't think for one minute that these boys are going to be overawed at facing such a lineup. It'll just make them fight the harder. Both teams are going to Lake county, the Ponies taking on the best that Wauconda's local talent can produce. In booking McHenry, Manager Kirwan is keeping up the old tradition that McHenry officially open the Wauconda cage season every year. In all previous engagements McHenry hat been returned the victor, but this year he thinks things are going to be different. ItH prove to be a game well worth going ten miles to watch. Other teams that are going to run into the strong attack of the M. A. A. C's in the near future are Kenosha, to which place the locals are to travel Jan. 2, Genoa City and their Giant squad are to appear here Jan. 5 for a pair of games, to be followed by none other than Woodstock and their roaring Lions on Wednesday, Jan. 8. There'll be other games following these. Watch for the announcements. There has been a change made in the starting time of the Sunday afternoon contests. Hereafter the first game will start at 2:15 with the other game following immediately after, or about 3:05. This will enable the farmers to return to their chores at the usual time. LIFE SENTENCE FOR GE0JA1ER ENTERS GUILTY PLEA TO CHARGES Farm Head Who Eloped With 18' -, year-old Girl Sentenced by Judge Shurtleff George Garner, 38-year-old farm hand, of McHenry, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of rape in the Me Henry County circuit cflurt at noon on Monday and was sentenced by Judge E. D. Shurtleff to serve the reat of his life in the state penitentiary. This is said to be one of the most severe sentences ever passed in this judicial district for a crime such as was charged against Garner. Garner, who worked on the Detrick farm near McHenry, was charged with inducing Audrey McDonald, 13-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis McDonald, who reside on a farm near the Detrick place, to run away with him. He had been warned bjfcthe parents to stay away from th<Hjirl and to leave her alone a$ she was only a mere child, while Garner was a full grown man. On November 4, Garner and Audrey left McHenry by auto and were mar ried in Wauconda. Garner gave his age as 28 and the girl's as 20. Pitiful Story On the witness stand Audrey told a pitiful story of how she and Garner traveled by auto, sleeping in tourist camps and road houses, to London, Canada, and how they spent much time in Canada. On the return trip to Chicago she told of how their car was smashed. Upon their return to Chicago they were arrested and later Garner was taken to the Woodstock jail. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald both testified that they warned Garner to stay away from the girl and he said he would. Several days after the warning he ran away with the girl. Changes Plea State's Attorney V. S. Lumley recommended the full penalty of the law for the crime. He described how Garner ruined the life of the girl and also brought shame and disgrace to the father and mother and other members of the family. Garner at first pleaded "not guilty" to the crime, but after being brought into court Monday morning he changed his plea. The court appointed Atty. C. P. Barnes to advise the defendant. Attorney Maurice Johnson was also appointed to assist Gamer while evidence was being introduced. When asked by the court if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed, Garner said he had nothing to say. He did tell the court, however, that he came to McHenry county from Lincoln, Nebr., and that both his father and mother were dead and he had no brothers nor sisters. Holiday Season In This Community "la Thoroughly Enjoyed With" Ideal Weather y Christmas comes but oace a year, ; And when it comes it brings good i cheer. I Grandmother was brought up on j this age-old rhyme; mother learned j it when a little child and for the past ! t wo months the children have been repeating it with delightful anticipation. And with good reason if they live in McHenry, for this community has a ssumed a Yuletide atmosphere which viu continue through New Year's ! flay. Mother Nature has covered the earth in this vicinity with a fresh, ; white blanket of snow for Christmas ! which adds to the beauty and spirit of the ..Yuletide season. The streets are aglow with Christmas decorations, with brightly lighted trees showing from windows in nearly every home, while many trees ara shining brightly from porches or lawns where the many colored bulbs €winkl$ forth from snow-covered boughs. The merchants have gaily decorated windows and Santa Claus seems to be hiding just around the corner to greet the girls and boys. The spirit of Christmas was made more beautiful by the singing of Christmas Carols on Clitjstmas eve, by the children of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the Public school. They went through the city in a truck and sang me carols which were much enjoyed by many of the residents, the sick as well as the well. The carols were very much appreciatied and the sttudents and their teacher, Mrs. McGee are to be commended for the efforts put forth for the enjoyment of the residents. The churches, lodges and all organi- SCHOOLS OPEN AGAIN ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 2 McHenrys public schools closedj^tions of the community entered in- Friday, Dec. 20, for the Christma1s^1| to tf he holiday spirit with parties for holidays and will resume again on their members and remembered the Try our classified ads--they sure WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE MUST BE SOME FIRE Did you hear about the fire-scare in the vicinity of the city park on Monday morning? JWell, it might have resulted in a casualty ,but as 't is probably the worst loss and the biggest gain will be a suit of clothes. You see, it happened this way. George Bohr, one of McHenry's well known and genial citizens, had just finished a smoke and slipped his pipe into his pocket and stopped to chat with a neighbor when smoke was seen issuing from the region where his pocket was located and sure enough the fire was discovered just in tirte to prevent its bursting into flames. It was persistent, however, and soon began to smoke again but was extinguished without the aid of Thursday, January 2. This provides a thirteen-day leave from school duties for local students, which will be spent in visiting and having a good time. Various universities and colleges also adjourned classes on the afternoon of December 20 and that means that many of the young people who are attending the various institutions of higher learning are home for the holidays. All of the roonfs at the grade school had programs on Friday afternoon with prettily decorated ChrUtmas trees, a treat and last, but not least, a visit from Santa Claus. The kindergarten children enjoyed their party on Friday morning and a very fine party it was, too, with many of the mothers present to enjoy the good time with the youngsters and show their appreciation of the good work that Miss Ropp, the kindergarten teacher, is accomplishing. Many of the high school teachers, as well as some of the grade teachers, went to their respective home to spend the holidays with parents and relatives. Edmund Willis, chemistry teacher at the high school, left Friday evening for his home kt Superior, Wis., where he will spend Christmas with his parents. Miss Helen Stevens is enjoying the holidays at her distant home in West Denby, New York. Miss Minnich is at her hoine in Oak Park and Miss Lane is in Chicago. Miss Johnson is spending her vacation at her home in St. Charles. Miss Kortendick is at her home at Pecatonica. Miss Ropp, the kindergarten teacher, is at her home at Bloomington. Mrs. Anna Barron, sixth grade teacher, and little daughter, Betty, are visiting home folks at Ridgeway, Wis., and Miss Mary Kinney, eighth grade teacher, and her sister, Kathrine, are at their home at Mankato, Minn. •/-T1 less fortunate of the vicinity and the message, "Merry Christmas," has in it a ring of mirth instead of mockery in the homes of this locality. Probably during the next week there will be a lull in the usual rush of parties and club activities. The Christmas shopping has been attended to, the holly and mistletoe hung, gifts wrapped and mailed, plum puddings made and other details incidental to a joyous family celebration carried out so that now the hurried Christmas givers may relax and pause to see what it is ail about. Well, here's hoping that your Christmas was a joyous one and that the New Year will bring an abundance of prosperity and happineii to everyone in this community. MR& PURVEYS MOTHER DIES AT WOODSTOCK While Christmas is a time of joy and gladness for many of us, yet there are some homes that will be shrohded in sorrow and sadness during this season of the year. While in attendance at the Catholic Daughters of America Christmas i party Monday evening Mrs. A. L. Purvey received the word of the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. L. B. Compton at Woodstock. She hurried immediately to her home at Woodstock only to find that her mother had passed away a short time before. The death of their loved one came as a great shock to the family, chil- FIVE YEARS IN BUSINESS On December 28 marks the fifth anniversary of the operting of the John Karls Lunch Room and Ice Cream Parlor, located on Riverside Drive in McHenry. Mr. Karls has made many improvements in the place since he took it over five years ago and has enjoyed a wonderful increase in patronage. At the time he purchased the place it was a small room and the business was more or less of a mediocre class. But by able management and a desire to give the people what they most desired, Mr. Karls has been able to build up a lucrative business which has increased every year since he has been in charge. At this place on the Drive will be found tasty lunches, everything to b^ found at a modern soda fountain, including all the leading brand? of candies, cigars, cigarettes, etc. Last spring Mr. Karls spent a sum of money in improving the appearance of the building with a new front and by additions made much more room to accommodate his increasing trade. The proprietor is a progressive business man and McHenry is none the loser by having him as one of its number in the business fi^Jd. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS OF INTEREST * TA5JN FR°m COLUMN!
