Oats are short and not as good as expected, but we can trust in our Creator to give us all that is necessary.

Johnsburg feels big to say this big juggler comesf from Johnsburg. Mr. Mathieu used but a small part of his heavy repertoire stage and time beigg .limited, but it tebka gotta.

NAIL THEM DOWlf-W? TO BRASS TACKS • ' when they tell you lumber is away out of sight in- price. Ask them what kind of lumber they are talking about--and how much , of that sky-high kind would be used in the ordinary home. Of course mahogany is dear aad some kinds of pine (jhal must be had for specific pur- pofes, such as $lnp decks, etc ». A_-' comes pretty high, but you don't need that kind of stbck for your home. You see that jrhere the misapplication of truth plays havoc with the in experienced builder. Buying lumber these days is a good deal like consulting an attorney; the latter can't tell how much of a case you have until he hears all your story; nor can a lumberman tell how much the material will cost for your home until he sees or talks over your plans. Start right and you'll save money. Let us help you. e There's No Place Like Home WILBUR LUMBER CO. West McHenry - 'Phone 5 £ being .limited, was a pleasure for him to have an op­ portunity to show his friends what he has made of himself. Mrs. Mathieu made a pretty appearance assisting her husband and enjoyed her work im­ mensely. Allowances must always be made for the lack of polish and the embarassed appearance of accidental assistants. That sets off the magician handsomely. Mr. Mathieu is always welcome in Johnsburg and the women's society thanks him warmly for sup­ porting the good cause so charitably Dr. Mueller filled the intermission with broadside against Christian Science teachings. It was a clear talk and tore up the sails of this so-called science in short order. We would like to hear our good doctor oftener. A capital sur­ prise was the appearance of the Bris­ co quartette, whoiare at home on the Vaudeville stage. Their effective sing- iqg called forth a roaring applause. They had to satisfy the audience by returning again and again.

In speaking of Henri Bernstein's great play, "The Thief." which will be seen at the Central opera house on Sunday evenidg, Aug. 3, with Miss Helene Guilbert in the leading role Manager Smith assures one of the best attractions that will visit McHenry this season. The piece ran for two years at the Lyceum theater in New York and is considered by the critics the biggest success New York has had in years. The company carries all its own scenery and from reports we un d^rstand the players are exceedingly clever in their respective roles. VOLO. Mrs. L. V. Lusk and daughter were Volo callers Sunday.

"Would you steal to make yourself beautiful iq, the eyes of your husband in order that you might keep his loveY" That is the question that is asked and answered in "The Thief," which will be seen at the Central opera house on Sunday evening, Aug. 3, with Helene Guilbert in the leading role. "The Thief" is one of the big dramatic sen­ sations of the season and the company which is to present it hei*e is said to be composed of players high up in the profession. The staging of the play is ilso to be in keeping with the piece and adequate thruout. All in all, "The Thief" promises to be one of the best attractions seen here this season. PROBA TE NEWS $ank ot.
