ADMISSION--ADULTS, 50c; CHILDREN, 25c USE THE CLASSIFIED COLUMNS FOR QUICK RESULTS HEBRON TRIUMPHS OVER MCHS HEAVIES McHeary Lights Wia ThrUier ¥m Their First Victory of tit* Season ' Hebron continued their cleanup of county teams Friday night by taking the local basketball team into camp to a 14-9 count Coach Crane has a .team whipped together that can do battle with the best of them and they dominated McHrnry as well as they have Woodstock and Harvard in the past week. The Hebron lads solved McHenry's defense for six baskets, at the same time holding the McHenry lads to four, two in each half. Both teams used a slow-breaking offense that made the game drat; most of the way through with only occasional flashes of real action. This gave the defease plenty of chance to form and for the most part' both teams presented an almost impregnable wall. The score at the half was 2 all, Brittain's long shot counting for McHenry. Before the half .was over Wegener added another zipper from mid-floor to tie the count but Hebron then rangj, their string to nine before the whistle blew. Patzke scored both baskets for the losers in the last half, with Peterson making the freethrow for the odd point. Hebron also added five points in this time to make their five-point margin at half time good for victory. Eleven youngsters saw action witji the lights for McHenry, while Coach Crane looked over eight of his future greats. Hebron led 3 to 2 at the half, but McHenry outscored them 6 to 0 in the last half to run the count to 8 to 3 and victory! This is the first game the lights have won and they are cocked up ready to fire at their next opponents itow that they know how nice it feels to come out on top. Hriyes led the scoring with 'six points and Palaski counted a basket for the other two. Besides these two lads, Whiting, Kreutzer, Wilson, Kinsala, Brefeld, Hettermaiv^ lie Nye and Howard saw action.

Christmas "Surprise* to the Wrong Person Jy Blsnchs Tanner Dillin ^afRB the napkins all right, Mrs. Barker?" handing the package to the other woman. "Beautifully done, Mrs. Baker," paying her for the newly hemmed napkins. "And a very Merlry Christmas." 'Thank yon so much. I am sure I shall have a happy day, for the nicest thing has happened." "What was it?" her hostess asked. *1 have wanted my sister with me for Christmas, but I didn't see how I could afford any extra expense. There has been so much lately,n Mrs. Baker explained. Mrs. Barker knew the little woman had had a struggle to meet expenses. "I never buy much from Mr. Atwood's grocery^ and this morning I ordered some flour and a few things, nothing very Chrlstmasy. I did want a turkey and all the trimmings, but I couldn't afford It," she sighed. "After 1 had been home a while } found a turkey, cranberries and every* thing for a Christmas dinner. I was so delighted!" wiping tears of jo* from her eyes. "I though there was a mistake perhaps, but there on a package of dried fruit was r\ card with 'A Merry Christmas from the Al-vnci! Market' and the ticket had my name on It." "What « bapgy surprise," Mrs. Barker agreed. "I must stop and thank Mr. Atwood, for I couldn't do Jt over the telephone," moving to the door. "I telegraphed my sister and she will be here in the mofning, I suppose. A Merry Christmas," she called as she went down the path. Mary, the cook, came Into the room. There was a mistake In the order. The line was busy--she couldn't get the market. "What did they send?" Mr.':. Rarker asked, . ...... _____ "IV ar qnd some things Jike th&t," Mary answered. ill*?.

Ron! jCkrik Biiley ? v (ft LOGICAL association it is-- snow-clad hills, coasting, boys, Christmas; but this year found Norman at a mining camp in Nevada without snow or toboggan, just a boy and a Christmas spirit. Men, weather-brown and sturdy, were milling gold from the dump of bmlne which years ago had taken out millions In high-grade ore, leaving other thousands In the dump because modern methods were unknown. Tractor, plow and scraper were turning this f discarded wealth Into the mill to run over mercury plates and Into cyanide tanks to salvage gold. Norman's father was one of these men. Norman had tired watching men, mill and tractor. Remembering It was Christmas, he considered what a real live boy should do on Christmas day. An idea! Finding a long, smooth board and a short slender one fcr steering, he climbed to the top of the dump and began coasting down ns if it were no more valuable than a sand hill covered with snow. Again and again he climbed to the top nnd coasted down, his cheeks glowing with exercise and rarefied deceit air. Along came Mr. Sterling, president of the mine, just in time to roe a pretty spill from the ImprovisedtobO£ i,ran which sent Norman the rest of the way tobogganless. He came up grinning, but Mr. Sterling saw a badly damaged pair of coveralls. "Well, sonny," he said, "I've coasteddown many a hill, but never a hilt of gold. But today is Christmas, isn't It? Let's go over to the chemist's shack and see if we can find something to use for coveralls." He found a pair of overalls that Norman could wear by rolling them up. Mr. Sterling took Norman's torn garment and dropped It Into a can Qf cyanide. Later In the day Norman stood in wide-eyed wonder while Mr. Sterling took the residue from the can, strained it through a chamois and presented Norman with a "button" of gold which he had gathered up In his coveralls in the process of his coasting. It was the most interesting Christmas gift Norman had ever received and gave him a lot more respect for the value of that hill as well as tof Mr. Sterling. -f (A. ill*.
