HIGH SCHOOL QUINTET WINS DOUBLE HEADER Woodstock Falls Before Fast McHenry Teams IN MANY OF M'HENRY'Slr Th* two ,Mt McHenry cage quin- . J fcets succeeded in taking a pair of fast games from the Woodstock boys last Friday night in a pair of clean fought basketball games. The curtain raiser started promptly at 7 o'clock between the Woodstock and McHenry lightweights. This was a fast and exciting game throughout, Which kept the crowd in a constant uproar. McHenry Seconds took the floor with confidence, but as the game progressed, McHenry discovered that they had organized teamwork to play against. During the closing minutes the result looked bad for our boys but with Fay's and Kinsala's two baskets, along with Barbian's free throw, Woodstock went down to defeat. With such a curtain raiser, the crowd waited impatiently for the heavyweights to take the floor. The McHenry team played with improved style over that of last week's game. Woodstock played hard but were unable to penetrate the strong defense of McHenry and the locals increased their lead slowly until the McHenry backers felt the game safely stored away. However, these thoughts were soon wiped out as well as our lead by a strong comeback on Woodstock's part. The score stood 15 to 13 and it looked like anybody's game. McHenry, however, kept up their steady hammering at the basket and once more forged ahead. The final score stood 26 to 14. Overton displayed his stuff in the second quarter of the game, making three perfect baskets in rapid succession, while he proved to be the caging star of the evening, his score totaling 11 points. Captain Whiting played his fast passes and clever field work and also dropped in three baskets. The other men in the team played their positions well, and gave adequate support to the aforementioned men. . Both the Woodstock and McHenry, teams displayed very good sportsmanship and the same Bpirit prevailed in the audience. This was McHenry's third conference victory.

QUARTET AT WOODSTOCK Last Friday morning the High School Male quartet motored to Woodstock to sing for the high school students and faculty in that city. The boys gave a half hour program, consisting of secular and popular numbers. Judging from the continued applause given them and the request to return again, the concert was well liked. In the near future we are to be favored by a short concert from the Woodstock Boys' Glee Club. This exchange of programs tends to bring the schools into better ecquaintance and a more friendly spirit of rivalry which of course are desirable conditions.

Stanard Makes Plans For Testing in McHenry County Six carloads of cattle, reactors in the TB testing, which has been going on around McHenry for the last few days, were shipped to Chicago last night to the slaughter yards. The condemning of so many cattle has aroused the indignation not only of McHenry farmers but of the business men and* the general public. Everywhere on the streets of our city and especially in West McHenry can be seen groups of men gathered together discussing the situation which threatens to wreck farm life in the surrounding territory. This is the first testing done in this community to any extent and the results have been far from favorable-- so unfavorable, in fa|ct, that the anger of the citizens is £\illy aroused, as well as fear in the hearts of the farmers whose turn is yet to come, as to how much longer this "legalized murder" will be allowed to go on without hindrance. Out of 208 cattle tested, it is reported that 154 were reactors, as follows: Jacob F. Justen, 26, all. Hubert Freund, 34, all. John Claxton, 37, lost 35. . J. Pfannenstill, 14, lost 13. P. C. Peterson, 31, all.- Mike Conway, 5, all. Jacob Freund, 31, lost 6. George Colby, 30, lost 4. A representative from each of the owners of the reactors went to Chicago this morning with Peter W. Frett to watch the slaughtering of the cattle and to find out how nearly correct was the test made. Even wih such results as have been obtained in McHenry, the farmers have no choice but to submit to the test. A few are planning not to test, bu will make arrangements to separate their cream and sell it or make butter, while others are considering going out of the d»>T business entirely. y If the latter plan is carried out to any great extent, it looks as if the cry in the future will not be for pure milk but for milk of any kind. S. J. Stanard, director of agriculture in Springfield, was in Woodstock Monday to give directions in regard to the testing in McHenry county in accordance with the agreement made by the governor's committee with the Chicago health authorities. , Already an additional veterinarian has been assigned to assist with the work and by Friday or Saturday one or more men will be in the county, making a staff of four veterinarians to continue the testing. "We want to proceed as rapidly as possible with testing in this district, but always in an orderly manner, to protect the interests of the dairymen and not inflict unnecessary losses on them, and at the same time we want to prove that we are working in good faith and to carry out our part of the program, outlined in the agreement made with the.Chicago authorities," vras Stanard's statement.

Johnson's nevir play. "Her Step Husband," on Thursday evening, Feb. 25. The play is under the able direction of Miss Nellie - G. Miller of the high school faculty, while William Martin is acting as business manager. The members of the cast are as fol> lows: r Mary Marshall, an incurable romanticist-- Adeline Perkins. Harry P. Marshall, Mary's permanent husband--Herman Steffes. Dr. Gerald Niles (Jerry), Mary's husband pro tem--Raymond Baer. Limpy Lannigan, an ex-convict--. Jacob Bylsma. Officer Shea, an affable cop--Theodore Miller. Sylvia Allen, Mary's friend--Lck rena Jepson. Miss Emily Paisley (Aunt Emmy)* - Mary's aunt--Marian Wegener. Florence Ainslee, Mary's cousin-~ Frances Johnson. Stella, Mary's maid--Winnie Bylsma. Mary's mania for spinning lies finally gets her into trouble chin deep. One of her picturesque lies, namely that she and her husband are simply wallowing in luxury, even to the point of keeping a butler, reaches the ears of her well-to-do aunt, who pays her an unexpected visit. The four-fiusher puts up a gallant fight to save h$r face, borrowing enough household furnishings to hide from Aunty the most obvious signs of poverty, and pressing her long-suffering husband into service as a butler. . Aunty has never met Mary's husband so it becomes necessary to trot out some kind of a husband for inspection. Mary finds a quick-witted young stranger who willingly passes himself as her husband. The stephusband is a good four-flusher himself, but is no match for Mary and soon has them both in hot water. The cast is enriched by a serio-comic maid, almost too good to be true, and a policeman who brings in a masteriy bit of satire. ^ 7 The play abounds in witty liijes. Aunty alone is worth the price ofjsdmission. But you should see "mf Step-Husband." LYCEUM PROGRAM TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT This Thursday evening the third number of the annual lyceum course will be presented beginning at 8:00 o'clock. Charles Cox and Co., will entertain with poems, prose stories, vocal solos, duets, impersonations, and dramatic selections. The continuation of the Lyceum Course which was originally brought here through the efforts of the late Rev. Father M. J. McEvoy, is due to the splendid spirit on the part of the business men of this city who have taken it upon themselves to make up the deficit which in paying for the course is unavoidable. These business men are showing their love and respect for the departed pastor and are asking the people of McHenry and neighboring towns to co-operate with them , and, out of respect for Father McEvoy, • to do their share in paying for the numbers by being present tonight. If a crowded house does not greet Chas. Cox and Company, then that great love and esteem that McHenry people profess to have for Father McEvoy is not real. Everyone should do their best to be present themselves and to bring their friends to the high school auditorium this evening at 8 o'clock.
