We all enjoyed our extra holiday. Most of us enjoyed Monday very much. We are starting to review this week for exams. Pauline Pufahl was absent from school last week. Why the burnt looking complexions on some of our freshies? The English class is now studying Sohrab and Rushton by Matthew Arnold. Next week Thursday and Friday we have exama. Are the res hies scared? Not a bit. Why is it that's* many books and fountain pens «re missing lately? We wonder if it's too hot for some to study.' Some of the high school students were very mucn abashed upon learning that the dentists were upstairs and they hadn't cleaned their teeth. Sophomore Notes ' The physiology class have completed their laboratory work for this year. Mr. Basinger must like to live in sweet odors by the awful odors that arise in the lab. In what way do high school students resemble pigs? When they rout for the baseball games. There has been some talk about forming a tennis club for high school girls. However, little has been done towards it. A great review of the geometry forces has been started by Miss Kenney to get in trim for the coming battle with exams. Junior Clafi The Juniors finished reading "A Tale of Two Cities." Everybody reports a good time over Decoration day. Mr. Treadway claims that some things are the same only different. Miss Pryor, every morning: "Does anyone know where Joe Buch is?" A new disease is evidently prevalent in the high school--that of losing fountain pens. Have you noticed the number of books every junior takes home every night now? Examinations next week. Chief subjects of discussion: New dresses for prom. v J? Coming exam. Have you finished outlining? :v The hot weather. Startled, mystified, curious, frightened, wondering, dazed and blank looks appeared on the faces of the pupils in the assembly hall Tuesday morning when Mr. Treadway, without stating any reason, requested them to go upstairs to the old laboratory. At the sight of the two dentists, however, the mystery vanished. Senior Notes Seniors are the busiest people on [earth these days. j Everyone is happy that there are only two more weeks of school. Where are you going the thirteenth of June? Why, to the senior class play of course. Miss Pryor: "Rosina, what does the government do if a man is insured and killed in war?" Rosina: "Send, word honi».* McHenry high school is now accredited with the University of Illinois with twenty-six subjects, but this only lasts until 1922. So that new school better be started now.

Later it was learned at Gfayslake that there was no one on' the train who answered the description of the two men. Every passenger was scrutinized very closely, but there were none who even resembled the men sought. It is thought that the thieves may have dropped off the train between Lake Villa and Grayslake and may have been picked up by one of the speeding automobiles. Bank officials were checking up this afternoon to determine the extent of the loss. A hasty check-up indicated that the robbers got around $1,600. ILLINOIS AGRICULTURAL ASSN. pone to attend.

Manzer, cashier, in the vault of the Lake Villa State i bank after shoving four guns against his body and made their escape with $1,600. i The robbers entered the bank when (the cashier was alone and asked for $2 worth of nickels. Mr. Manzer turned around to get the change and when he again turned he was covered with four guns. The bandits ordered him faito the vault. When Manzer managed to get out to turn in an alarm the robbers had disappeared. He believed they irded a Soo line train, No. 8, Lake Villa about 1 that time and Word was sent ahead to j Grayslake to hold the train until he .could arrive to identify the bandits if they were on it. j Word was also sent to Sheriff Elmer Green and the Waukegan police and the roads leading from Lake Villa were guarded to prevent the escape of the robbers if they were traveling in ; an automobile. j the authorities have been supplied 'with the following description of the two men: One appeared to be about ! thirty-five to forty years old and wore [brown overalls, such as would be worn i by an automobile mechanic. The other man was considerably younger and wore a blue shirt. He was coatless. Both men were smooth shaven That the two men probably made their escape on the south bound Soo line train which pulled out of Lake Villa shortly after the robbery took place is indicated by the fact that two strangers were seen to board the train from the opposite side. As,soon as the bank officials learned of this they telephoned to police of fleials at Grayslake and asked to have the train stopped and searched. They planned to hasten to Grayslake once to see if they could identify .. -• Members of the McHenry County Farm Bureau, who serit a delegation of three farmers to Springfield several weeks ago in support of the Lantz bills to regulate the Chicago board of trade, received word last week that the first and most important of the two bills had passed the senate 26 to 22. This bill, if passed by the house and signed by the governor, will put grain exchanges under fair and open regulation of the public and will allow farmers a voice in the marketing- of their own product. Every Chicago senator coted against the bills. Only three down state senators voted against them: Glenn of Murphysboro; Hicks of Rockford and Dailey of Peoria. Glenn and Daily had been for them until the final vote. Three down state senators were absent: Swift, whose child was dead; Turnbaugh, who was in Springfield, but did not vote, and Carlson, who was said to be ill. Word received by the McHenry County' Farm Bureau from those in close touch with legislative matters at Springfield would indicate that few of the two hundred lobbyists who appeared at Springfield last week against the Lantz grain exchange bills were really farmers, as was claimed by the Chicago board of trade. Many of them, according to Springfield reports, were city owners of summer homes in the country or city owners of farm land worked by tenants. It was declared that board of trade agitators have already spent thousands of dollars in their effort to defeat the Lantz bills, touch of it going to pay expenses of lobbyists. . \ Farmers of the McHenry county Farm Bureau and the other 1,600 county farm bureaus in the United States are to be asked within a few weeks their opinion on sixteen questions of national agricultural legislation. The answers from a million and half farmers are to be used as a basis for the national agricultural legislative problem of the American Farm Bureau Federation at Washington. The Illinois Agricultural association will help each Illinois county farm bureau to get the opinion of its members. The sixteen questions concern matters of freight rates, farm loans, waterways, farm taxes, farm finance, country roads and other matters of interest to farmers. It is the first time in agricultural history that an attempt has been made to learn the wishes of each individual in an organization comprising as many as a million and a half farmers.

Schrauth, McHenry, HI. 48-tf Annual Ev4nt to Be Held One Week From Sunday It will be with a source of great delight that scores of people, who in past years have enjoyed this annual event, will learn of the holding of the Volo picnic, the date of which has been set for Sunday, June 12. The great out-door fete, which for several years past has attracted not only the people of this immediate community, but from a distance as well, gives promise of terminating into the banner one of them all. At least, the pastor, Rev. Geo. Schark, and his parishioners feel that way, and with favorable weather their expectations are sure to be fulfilled. No where in this entire country can there be found a more zealous class of workers,.who are ever found at their posts of duty when the picnic day arrives. It has been the dream of tiie parishioners of St. Peter's parish for many years past to have a church edifice of larger dimensions as well as of more modern architecture than the present building and with the hope that this fond dream may some day be realized the little army of faithful workers have never given up, but kept right on working until today the goal of their endeavors appears almost in sight. The new church ^building fund, which was first started several years ago, has grown with" the years and, while the fund at this time represents several thousands of dollars, it is not sufficiently large to make the contemplated improvements, therefore these annual picnics. This year all of the various attractions that have assisted in mak ing past events of the kind so successful will again predominate, only on larger scale, and added to these will be several attractions that well be worth while. Chicken dinners and suppers will be served. There will be music and dancing, bowling for prizes, raffles for real articles, ice cream and refreshments galore.

We hereby desire to express our gratitude to our village aldermen who were all playing the game of safety first during the recent world war, while we were quite acceptable to defend their country against the enemy in time of danger. When the war was over and peace declared then a few of us had the unpardonable audacity to ask the village board to support one of our number for the office of village marshal at $75.00 per month, to the heavily burdened taxpayers this would be £ saving of $600.00 per year to the village on this item alone, but after the president of the board nominated one of the members of the American Legion, no vote was given for his appointment, but $50.00 per month more was gladly Electric Appliances They add to comfort at all times particularly in the summer.
