H.: The*>thet» da^yfltt said you'd like a Contribution and the more I thought of it, the more I thought I ought to be a bit more helpful, so here goes. If you don't use it, IH be able to understand that--lots better than you: Add -- Around the Court House Items: The Sheriff's four-year-old son asked one of the stenographers if he could go "with her" one day when she was starting for the bank. And so he did; he ran along picking up snow from the part and tljen deposited that in the bank. Just a nice contribution of frozen assets probably. On the way out, he noticed that she had a mess of letters in her hand and he said: "Well, I haven't got anything to carry/' «nd she said: "What would you like to carry?" And he came right back: "Well, I'd like to carry a bag of candy." -- He won. The courthouse gang has had a couple of interesting letters from the ex-deputy treasurer, M. E. Senne who is located at Fort Bragg, N. C. He writes that he has just received hie new summer underwear and it has a date line on the back of it which says: "June 15th, 1918." Maybe that's the line it has been hanging on all these years. He also writes that the barber is an amateur and with no regulation bowls in that man's army, you can see what .• plight their poor heads are in. "Court-House-Sue." --I-- Looks like an easy week. Here's another bit of help from an old schoolmate: £-1 Jan Francisco, Calif. -• April 80. 1841. To the Editor of the •>" ' S. I. H. Column"-- Remember me? Well, ddift try to guess as it would be useless. I have been reading quite a few of the old home town papers lately and it seems there is a few of the local boys being mustered into the service. It also seems that there is a lot of people living there that I don't know. Cant understand that--after 19 years the town must be growing. However, if any of the local boys happen to be coming through San Francisco, will you please be kind enough to give them my name and address, and tell them to look me up regardless as to whether they know me or not as I really would like to see someone from back there.

The Palace Girls went over to bowl the Schaefer Girls and wound up in a 2249 total pin tie. A "bowl-off" frame gave the Schaefer*s a 10 pin win. Pretty close! --I-- Dorothy Schaefer's 577 and Fanny Freund's 576 deserve mention before the bowling season bows out. 1 --I-- Glance over the sport page and you will see that local baseball is with Us.' Scores came in from all sides this week. 1 I The McHenry team blasted out a decisive win over Crystal Lake last Sunday and will open the home schedule next Sunday against Woodstock. "11 With any kind of a break In weather, this game should draw a whale of a crowd. --i-- Manager Bill Althoff and liis Boys are out to give us a real team. Of course, the boys will make mistakes, but there is a certain added interest in watching home talent perform, tit's look 'em over. Th'e Cubs will always give the faAs a chance to second guesB, it seems. Their latest trade which sent Billy Herman on his way to Brooklyn has raised one grfind hullaballoo with the customers. Maybe the deal will work oat, bat most fans feel that Herman should have brought somebody with known ability. -i .The only way the Cubs can get even with Brooklyn is to send Dizzy Dean down there in exchange for Dolph Camilli or Ducky Medwick. Of course, a bundle of that horrid medium of exchange known as cash might also enter the picture. --I-- We expect to hear big Hank Greenberg's name mentioned this week when the sports broadcasters get around to their man-of-the-week story. The truly great stars seem to have what it takes when occasion demands. Bowing oat with two home runs will keep the fans talking of Hank Grefciiberg for a long time. Don't tbrdw away yaw overshoes. It looks likle snow. • - / PERSONALS-- Mrs. William Van Natta of Crystal Lake spent Wednesday with her son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson, and helped them celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary.

OIEL S00UT8 Miss Kathleen Justen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Justen of McHenry, who is now completing her second year at St. Francis School of Nursing in Evanston, was crowned the May Queen at the annual May festival held in the spacious lounge at the school last Friday evening. Miss Justen was a striking picture in a white mousseline de soie gown, overlaid with silver spangles, and fashioned with a tight bodice and sweeping skirt that hung in folds. She carried a bouquet of red roses. The queen's court was composed of six attendants gowned in net over taffeta, three in blue and three in white, and each carrying bouquets of roses. One attendant bore a crown of pink roses on a blue tfbtin pillow, which she placed on the head of the queen. The queen and her court were preceded by all of the nurses at the school. Those from McHenry who witnessed the ceremony were Mr. and Mrs. William Justen, Mrs. Mike Rauen, Mrs. Ben Justen, Mrs. Emma Justen, Mrs. Nick Justen, Mrs. Alex Justen, Mrs. Henry Stilling, Mrs. Clarence Freund, Mrs. Jake Justen and the Misses Eleanor Bolger and Evelyn J; 4- vC Rolaine sf;, h., m >Us\s5|»3(";!. at Wonder Lake ::$+-• OPEN EVERY DAY EBNiNG ROOM OPENS MAY 17 • ' ^ % Watch for the f; SPRING GRAND OPENING SHAMROCKS START SEASON WITH WIN OVER CRYSTAL LAKE The Shamrocks defeated the Pingrey Cubs of Crystal Lake Sunday by a score of 16 - 3.

Miss Larkin gave ns a report on the Great Lakes Regional conference which she attended on Saturday at the Stevens hotel in Chicago. The theme of the conference Wis a development of helpfulness and co-operation ranging from local affairs to the world-wide situation. Girl Scouts, it is believed, can do much toward world peace and friendship by establishing correct attitudes. Among the exhibits were excellent example^ of weaving, handicrafts, art, sewing, and cooking done by Girl Scouts all over the United States. National leaders of Scouting and district committees were present to give help and advice to local leaders and assistants. After Miss Larkin's report we chose up sides and had a ball game.
