Every once In a while little donkey Is found on the streets, ; either lost, or abandoned by an owner '^'|Vi*ho could no longer afford to feed j - the animal. y The difference between an abandoned automobile and an abandoned llonkey is that the automobile occu- *. ^ -fries space, but eats nothing, while ,jhe donkey does both. The city of V 'Jtladrid spends quite a bit of money ' ,£very time a donkey is found on Its *" l|j»ands and is therefore anxious to get of him as soon as possible.1 Auc- Itlon sales are announced, but frequently no buyers are immediately timd.,» j V,. y , . ..

Rotnour Play era THE SCREEN All Talking Rod La Rocque 'THE DELIGHTFUL ROGUE" and Path# News "Show No Mercy," Says Mayor Again I note that Alderman Stoffel, who is also secretary of the Board of Local Improvements, published a lengthy article, consisting mostly of insinuations, asking questions. and using his pet quotations, "my ideas," "doubts in my mind," "to my notipn," "seems queer to me," and. "in opinion." Now, Mr. Stoffel, if you have a statement to make, why dont you cbme out and make it and back it up with real facts and figures and not ask someone a number of questions? The only real fact that Mr. Stoffel has brought out so far is that he admitted that he KNOWINGLY overpaid a certain party a sum he now claims to be "about" $30.00. I cannot understand why he did not state the exact amount and not say "about" when he is secretary and should have the real figures. As expected, Mr. Stoffel tried to dodge his stateirfent that he KNOWINGLY overpaid someone. He could not deny it, so he says, "at the time I did not know of the overpayment but found it out afterwards." Perhaps Mr. Stoffel can explain how he KNOWINGLY overpaid someone and not know about it until afterwards. I do not want to burden the people of Mcftenry with any lengthy newspaper controversies with anyone who cannot come out and make statements backed up by real facts and figures. If Mr. Stoffel thinks he has anything on the Mayor I want him to show me no mercy. I will admit that mistakes might have been made as there are only a few that never make them, but I will defy Mr. Stoffel to show where I KNOWINGLY put anything over the taxpayers of McHenry. Certain aldermen have been very free in using the words "penitentiary," "courts," "juries" and "exposures" when discussing city affairs with people around town. As far as I am concerned, .they cannot start too soon or go too far with anything they fvant to start, but I will say that they want to be able to back up their accusations or they may be in a worse position than the ones they are trying to convict of some things by insinuations. The state's attorney's office is in Woodstock, the grand jury will soon meet and all I can say is "step to it and show no mercy." Signed: JOHN R. KNOX, Mayor, City of McHenry.

If I am not doing something with my head, m y hands are generally occupied. I have never known what it Is when iwake to sit or lie still with no < occupation of any sort. What ,1 do when asleep only those who watch over me are conversant with, but I imagine Tm restless if not talkative. "Can't you sit still?" mother used to say to me when I was squirming about in church, not Interested in the sermon, but trying to get my hands onto a hymn book or something else with which I might more agreeably occupy my attention. Nelson comes Into my office leaving a dozen people waiting outside to see me, and finds me with the desk plied high with the moraing mall. "Are you busy?" he asks. Of course I am busy. I shouldn't be earning my salary if I were not, but I do not say so. I simply reply, "I'd be very glad to talk to you If you wish," and the letters lie unread before me. I am comfortably seated in an easy chair before the wood fire after dinner. "With Lawrence in Arabia" Is in my hand half read and holding my attention with the account of the adventures of that Impossible man. 1 am tremendously busy, and I have no desire or intention of being disturbed. I never was busier in mf life. The bell rings and I go to the door. Jackson stands without, hesitant, embarrassed. "Are you busy this evening?" he inquiries. "I'd like t9 talk to you a while if you are not." Now what he really means la that he'd like to talk to me, no matter what I am doing. If you want to make a good beginning with a man of complicated and varied duties, it is Just as well not to begin either by asking him If he Is In a good humor or busy. He's probably both, but If he isn't, it won't help matters to inquire. (A llll, WMtfm Niwntfir A man decided he and his son would take a drive In their new car.

Crew * McHenry survived the first' ttrOnd of the Amateur tournament at Wau conda by handing the* Arlington Heights team a sound trouncing 48 to 26. By virtue of this victory they meet Grayslake tonight as the Lakers were fortunate to trim the Wheaton Reds in the preliminaries. The dope favors the McHenry team but don't forget last year. Arlington Heights was never in the running with McHenry stepping out and getting a 9-0 lead at the first quarter and appeared to be speeding up every minute. The score at the half was 23 to 10 and three quarters found the lead piling up with the subs in the game to a 34 to 12 count. In the last period the MAACS rested up and allowed the Heights lads to score 14 points while the best they could do on individual play was a like amount. Gus Freund appeared to be his olef self again and led the scoring for the winners with 14 counters, Kinsala following up with four baskets and a freethrow. Many setups were missed and this kept the score within limits. Every one of the eight players in the game scored from the floor, eveo. Jimmy Fay getting his basket. Jimmy was only in the game for a few minutes but apparently has not lost the use of his injured arm. Seb Whiting left the game after receiving a bump on his thigh, but is expected to be o. k. for "the remaining games. Boost for your home team tonight at 9:30.
