Wte should not expect, them to be too definite in their minds as to their future work. • They should be allowed the four years of high school to determine for what they are fitted and what itype of work they wish to follow during their life. Since we cannot forecast the future . o-f cur children and since even the children themselves often cannot tell us what they hope £o do later in life, the only safe plan to follow is to prodoRg fltheir education as long as one can do so. It is possible to stop school • too soon, but there are few, if any, instances in which a' student continues in School iyigerpw»n profitable. Twenty y«ffs ago those boys and girls who attended high school were the exception. Today the averagej&oy and girl attends high school. In fact, the records of cur community show that nearly ninety per cent of the ptipils, who grad«ate from the eighth grade attend high school. If your child expects to have opportunities with the average adult ten years from now he must have a High school edu^- cation. Now is the timeM<o obtain thateducation. Some pupils who have graduated •> from the eighth grade say that they do not* care to attend high school, when in reality they very much want V to attend. They realize that the high school is slightly different from their grade school and they are rather affaid of this unknown organization. These same students, after attending high school for two or three weeks, •will tell you how much they enjoy \ their work and the new associations they have formed. Parents should not hesitate to send their boys and girls to high schoof, even though the boys . **nd girls say I they don't care to attend. • ^ There is no way of#calculating the value of a high school education. Many attempts have been made to do ',#0. Some of these studies show that fee high 'school education is worth as much as five dollars for each day that s the student attends. These studies, ' however, are not scientifically exact and one cannot fairly declare what a high school education is worth. Yet, one needs only look around McHenry and see the young men and women who are filling the positions in our business houses to realize how valuable a high school education is. Prac- " tically every young man or woman who is employed in our commercial .concerns are graduates of a high school. Now is the time when every parent mtist decide whether or not his son daughter will attend high school. It is important to both the public and "•V the youth that a correct decision be made. ~ " " -- r , • little questioning disclosed that she •already knew by-heart a good half of ajl the" stories on file. Thus it' hf\p-' pened that she was given a chance as a script girl; to sit all day on a sound stage at the director's side, following minutely each detail of a scenario. Her concentration was a mkacle to see and from the very start she hand l e d t h e j o b p e r f e c t l y . , v - . • : Now, Loretta had a boy friend who had been a steady suitSr for some while. He was the son of the family' next, door, out in that shall suburb where Loretta lived with her widowed mother. Harry Steele was hardly the type you might expect her to* care for; but'certainly Loretta liked him in a gentle friendly way. One Friday evening shortly after she had won promotion, Harry came over to her house. "I thought," he said, "tttat you might like to.take in a movie. "There's a doable bill at the Superba." She smiled and put on her hat, and they went. On the way home Harry said-m."?tter-of-factly: "I made a big sale today. Will you marry me some time soon, Lorrle?" Loretta sighed a little and shook her head. "I'm sorry, Harry; I can't seem to make you understand'how I feel. This selling insurance--well, that just isn't what. I want I--oh, it's so hard to explain! All my life I've longed to meet the sort of wonderful people that writers put In their stories. They always live splendidly and do fascinating things. Rut somehow the people I know all seem to lead such--suA dull existences;" 280 Kid[s at Karls* Annual Party m >•&>:?•I vv<$..y;*y15 From the time the gates of the Walworth County Fair open at Elkhorn on September 7 until they close on the following Thursday night, the entire organization will look upon what is offered the public as advertising for 1937. The Fair which opens Labor "Day received its best advertising in 1935 when thousands of visitors to the grcunds were ,thrilled by the races, amused by the midway and amazed at the free attractions. To say that the Fair just ahead is to be "bigger and better than ever" sounds flat and unconvincing. To be sure, there are new buildings, there will be four instead of three races on each racing day and an unusual wealth of all the odds and ends which go with a fair. But what of it ?, You will attend the Walworth County Fair to repeat the fun you have had there in the past--what comes to' pass on your coming visit will count for next year, < .. ; , So, by building up i reputation as tft^ best county fair in the state, the annual event at Elkhorn has become An institution whose excellence is taken for grapted. Advertising for 1937 starts on Labor Day. Children everywhere"! They swarmed over each other and 280 of them beieged the Karls' Cafe on Riverside Drive Friday afternoon at the annual children's party given by Mr. Karls, popular „propriefor of the cafe. There is no doubt but that this was the busiest place in the community during the afternoon and the children gathered early, waiting in line for the party to begin at 2 o'clock. But evei*ybody was happy, the kiddies were happy and Mr. Karls was happy in making them happy and the party was voted the greatest success iif the. history of the cafe. Each guest was given a free walking sundae by Mr. Karls, through the co-operation of the ' Chapell Ice Cream company each child received a toy airplane and the Curtiss Candy company and the Thies Candy company of McHenry donated candy fot each child. " / This is an annual affair, put op during the summer months by Mr. Karls, who is always a loyal friend to the children. v * Many of the children are shown in the accompaning picture^ although not all of them waited for the picture to be taken. RETURN FRGM WESTERN TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Stephen N. Schmitt and Mr. and Mrs. Mat Schmitt and' son, Stanley, arrived home -Saturday night from a 3,300-mile trip to Yellowstone Park and return. Going by way of Minnesota they visited Winona, then Sfcous Falls, S. D., the Black Hills, the Big Horn Mountains and Yellowstone Park; The return trip was made through Nebraska, where they stopped at Humphrey, Neb., to visit relatives. They found conditions in Nebraska verjr bad, with no crops, or gardens, everything being destroyed by the grasshoppers and drouth. Their cousin, Fred Fuchs, of Humphrey, accompanied them home and will remain here for a few months. They visited many interesting points and encountered variable weather from snow in the mountains to the hot, dry weather in Nebraska. John Zimmer, who had visited here and in Chicago a month, returned to his home in Sioux Falls, S. D., with them.

'! •. That Saturday forenoon was a busy one on sound .stage 0 at Zenith. They were shooting the first sequence from "Tonight In Budapest," and It didn't go any too well. Fhr once, Loretta was glad of the respite when lunch hour came. As she started to leave the set, an impeccably dressed tall man with a little dark mustache stepped up to to her and said; "Pardon me! I believe you're the young lady in charge of the script. Might I see it just a moment, please?" Wonderingly. she gave the bulky volume into his outstretched hand. He opened it In the middle and began to read off some dialogue In a half audible murmur. "Very nice," he said'at length; "very nice, indeed!" He turned to Loretta then, gesturing apologetically. "J suppose this seems odd to you. I just dropped in to watch the filming, but I was a bit late; so I thought I'd like to have a look and see how they'd done me." "Done you?" «he echoed vaguely. "Why, yes. I'm a friend of the author's, you know, and he modeled this character, Franz, after me." The. look of enthralled awe was there on Loretta's face for anyone to see. It appeared to ple^pe the man. for he added: ^ "Look here--you've been so accommodating. I'd like to show my appreciation. Won't you have luncheon with me?" It would be almost unfair to' describe the alacrity with which she accepted. They went to a smart cafe on the boulevard and for half an hour Loretta listened rapturously while the man talked without Interruption cf himself. It was a full thirty minutes before Loretta would admit to herself that the fine edge of Interest had worn a trifle dull, and that the situation was verging on discomfiture. She tried at last to terminate it, but In vain. Thf 'man's ardor seemed not only to increase. but to grow In Intimacy. With a sudden movement, he leaned across the table and seized both her hands. "You're lovely!" he exclaimed; "and you're just the sort of girl a dynamic man like me needs. So charming, s<> restful, «o--" He was seeking to draw her toward him, heedless of dishes.^ In the throes of a mounting panic, Loretta struggled to be free. Then, like a smokeevolved genie, Harry Steele was standing beside the table. Harry grappled the man, let fly one solid right upperfut, and the affair was over. Loretta huddled in the protective curve of his arm, gasping: "Oh, Haxry darling! I'm so, glad you camel Let's get away from here!" . ; , The last I heard, Harry and Loretta were planning their marriage for an early date. I happen to know. Incidentally, that he has never told her It cost him twenty dollars to hire the actor he punched. It was Mrs. Barnes' idea, anyhow, and Harry feels rather guilty about the whole thing. But of course that doesn't matter at all, because Loretta has her secret, too. She doesn't let him guess that she suspects It was a put-up job. I think she reasons, very wisely, that he just wouldn't understand how she could find It none the less thrillingly .romantic. *'? M. E. CHURCH You are invited to attend services at the M.
