The second team was successful in their attempt to defeat the Hebron, boys, who had once before this season beaten our boys. This game was one of tiie hardest fought games that our boys have so far played, McHenry made the first basket and from then on the Hebron team seemed to be running away from our boys. The score at the end of the first quarter stood 2 to 8 in favor of Hebron. Our boys then started to slowly but surely gain and at the end of the half the score was 12 to 13 in Hebron's fayor. Right after the half Newman made a free throw, which tied the score. Then our speedy guard, Thomas, made* a sensational long shot, which gave our boys the lead. Time out was then called by Captain Green. When the game was again started the McHenry boys had formed a five man defense which could not be penetrated. This kept Hebron from scoring while our boys still succeeded to keep in the lead. The score at the end of the fourth quarter stood 25 to 17 in favor of McHenry. The first team did not have as good lucfc as. the second. Our boys arrived at Hebrbn about twenty minutes be fore they went on the floor. In the first half our boys made six points, while Hebron made twenty-three. In the last quarter we made 18 points and Hebron, 13. We are forced to believe that if our boys had been playing un der -better conditions they would have had more of a chance. Th£ score was 24 to 39 ki favor of Hebron. McHenry 2nd FG. FT. PF.

Muff If studying geometry caused "brain fever" the sophs would not be bothered. Mr. Tallmadge says when he has a cold he cant get the subtle points in botany. If giggling was a light disease some of the seniors would have double pneumonia. If overwork was contagious, all the juniors would without doubt be exempt from it. The physics class are trying to absorb a few facts about the radio, bat they find it a tough job. Now that our source themes are over instead of having a rest we find that poems are next on the program. Work on the operetta is rapidly $ 8OPHOM0RK NOTES . ^ Members of the English II cl*Wf ST* preparing to give a debate. Miss Richmond returned to school Monday after being absent with the chicken pox. ' - The commercial geography class was studying the bi-products of the cattle industry. „ The boys' and girls' operetta choruses are practicing during convocation periods of this week. I wonder what Linny has against the sophs. She surely was enthusastic over rooting for the juniors. Education Pays the Farmer A" question that is often asked is "In dollars how much does education increase the earning capacity of a farmer?" It has been shown in .figures, from some of the agricultural colleges, that the educated farmer earns more in a year than the one who has no schooling. Facts from 1,271 farmers of the state of Georgia indicate that the average farmer who had no schooling earned $240 a year. Those of good, common school education earned $565 a year and those who had completed a high school course earned an average of $665. The men who had taken an agricultural course earned $896 and those from the agricultural college earned an average of $1,154 a year. From reports from the Kansas Agricultural college out of 1,287 men the average farmer with a common school education earned $422 a year; the high school graduate, $554. The men who Miss Stockebrand: "Richard, what!had taken a short course in agriculis the casein of the milk?" jture earned an average of $859 a year Dick, absent minded: "Buttons* and the college graduate $1,462.

THE TIME TO BUY PURE BRED POLAND CHINA SOWS is when the hog market is at its lowest ebb or as near this point as possible, thus preparing to sell when the market is high. The successful manufacturer learned the lesson long ago, that the secret of making his business a success was in the WISE BUYING of his raw materials. , It cannot be side-stepped, the great economic law works as inevitibly as night and day. THE HOG BUSINESS works in exactly the same cycles and at this time, we are traveling in a period of low prices and depression. The buying of hogs is now more inactive than it has been for years--meaning that we are now to move into another period, namely,, that of a RISING MARKET. All the commission firms are predicting that hogs will be selling^nuch higher within the next few months. And some are predicting $10 tops for this summer. So be on hdnd to buy some sows that will do you some real good. _ Anaedncen^vf I wish to state that the giltsT aifi selling are as fine a bunch as you will find at any of the big hog sales this winter. I am not quitting'the business, for the new firm, Overton & Ehrke, will continue to raise the right kind and expect to be able to supply a part of your needs. L. S. OVERTON.

Ralph wants to know what became of the snow on his back porch that was not swept off. Any light on the subject is welcome. In spite of the fact that the seniors lent their voices to the sophs Saturday night, the sophs were unable to vanquish the juniors. They're some team. The boys had a stiff fight at Hebron, especially after being frozen on the way up. Their line of complaints was heavy toward Jepson, who upset the bob. The English IV elass is struggling with "card indexes" for their source themes. Miss Ashburner tells us we will find them very useful, but we have not yet come to that conclusion. McHenry high school has hopes of some day having a number of speedy typists. The freshies practice all noon ~ and have already learned how to ring the bell. Tribute of the high school wis paid to our former president, Wilson, by the student body. Students in high school are not capable of handling the problems confronting them because of being so easily led by what others may think rather than acting according to their own convictions.

The bear was first seen one day last week by A. J. Brown. Later it was seen in various places by several others. A bear hunt was then inaugurated with the result as pub- ^ lished above. Since the death of the f.-v bruin it has been said that the animal escaped from Fox Lake, where it had been the property of some men Who had gone south for the winter.

It would be a great thing if all high school students would learn to govern themselves. At any college all students have to know how to govern themselves, there is on one to warn you, you have to do it or fail. Why not learn this in high school? Answer--Arthur Krause: I think that student government in high school would be very successful. If students made part of their own laws they would be more anxious to live up to these laws and see that Genfist when it comes to cheer-leading and we don't mean "maybe." Some people have all the luck. Take Miss Richmond frinstance, she doesnt have to make up a bit of work.

Our latest song hit, "I've got some mumps for sale that everybody turned down," composed by^our old friend, D. Lerious.

No one wished to have more of a reward than the other so it was equally divided among them. • Wj»: •' C Honor Roll for Grade School First grade: Betty Jane Conway, Evelyn.
