WELLS are our only BUSINESS WHO'S FOR EUCHRE* The Euchre group of games is one of the most prolific in the entire card repertory. In its many variations, Euchre was a favorite party game in the eastern United States before Auction and Contract Bridge began to overshadow it shortly after the turn of the century. It is still, however, widely played in fraternal and vete r a n ' s o r ganizations and in industrial card t o u r n a - nrrtnts. In Rochester, New York, for example, Euchre is so popular that it ranks second only to bowling1, and the city-wide industrial Euchre tournament held each year is an event of importance to the entire town. All efforts to find a German ori-; gin for Euchre have been unavailing, despite the fact that the term bower used in the game undoubtedly comes from the German Bauer (one of several names for the jack). Best bet is that it originated ' among the Pennsylvania Dutch around 1824 and spread throughout the country to become one of the leading card games. As many another card game has done, it gave to the language the word euchre meaning to defeat in a scheme. The basic game is for four players ih two partnerships, but it can be adapted to play by three, five, s|.x or seven, making it a versatile game for odd groups. To play Euchre, you n'tfeed a pack of ,32 cards, formed by discarding all cards below seven from a standard pack of 52 cards. Euchre is based on this pattern: each, player receives five cards; a card is tiirned to Ax the trump suit; the object of play is to win at least three tricks. If the maker's side fails to win at least three tricks, it is euchred. The winning of all five tricks by one side is called a march. In the trump shit, the cards raiik: J (right bower), J .(left bower)', A, K, Q, 10, 9, 8, 7. Right bower is the jack of the trump suit. Left bower is the jack of the other suit of the same color as the trump-suit (for example, ^diamonds when hearts are trumps). ' When the joker is added to the pack it ranks as the highest trump over the right bower. If you would like the complete rules for playing this popular family game, including the rules for Auction Euchre"(a variation adapted to five, si&.ot* seven players) just send a cafd or letter to Dept. E, Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Seyfferth left for Racine Tuesday and funeral services were held Wednesday.

Riverside Drive Plione McHenry 1843 McIIenry, 111. of furniture PHONE 3461 GIVE FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DISPLAY WINDOWS At Christmas time there is a great temptation for shopkeepers to decorate display windows and Interiors with highly combustible materials. These combustibles range all the way from natural materials, such as the Christmas tree, cotton fluff and paper, to artificial things, such as some plastics and synthetic materials. Illumination of these materials, particularly by having light bulbs among them and the tendency to put a lot of makeshift wiring in displays, results in fire hazards. Also, electric motors on fans and other electrical equipment and animated electrical toys have usual electrical hazards of sparks and heat. The hazards are intensified when they are scattered around" combustible decorations. Sparks from electrical trains--the wheels slipping on sharp curves--may ignite cotton and packing materials. The Natiorial Board of Fire Underwriters sdys that it's possible some highly flammable clothing may be displayed in connection with Christmas costumes. Theref' 1 ddAj(fU~ Nye Drug Store Phone 26 129 No. Riverside Dr. McHenry, 111. .. fore, care should be taken to be lure that it is flamefcroofed. To prevent fires, the National Board urges that you observe the following fire-safety pjfecauttbfis when decorating display windows and stores: Use only electric cords tagged for safety by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Keep lamps and other heat , producing equipment away from combustible materials, such as wood, paper, upholstery, drapes, clothing. Don't smoke while dressing display windows. You might go away and leave a cigarette burning." Have wiring done by experienced electricians. If you have an animated display, have some one check it every hour to make sure the motor is working properly and that nothing has stopped it. Have motors arid all other electrical equipment protected by proper fuses or circuit breakers. Don't leave display lights on at night unless you yhave watchman service or automatic detection such as alarms or sprinklers. Have extinguishers handy.1 PUBLIC PULSE POOL BOND ISSUE Attention taxpayers. This camv ing Saturday you are asked to approve another bond issue in the amount of $290,000.
