Column V ^ Perhaps you think that J. J. means Jolly Juniors. We thought you would There are many things that J. J. could mean. We are beginning to be­ lieve that it means Jumping Juniors, as,/that is the very thing we have been doing in order to prepare this column on three days' notice. What (io you think it might mean? We need a name for our column, the most appropriate and best all around name 'that the brightest intellect of McHen­ ry high school can devise. Now we have never found anyone brighter than a junior, but we are generously willing to admit that there may be such a person in existence. There­ fore we have decided to open a con­ test to settle this momentous question. This contest is open to all high school students between the ages of ten and twenty-five inclusive: The conditions of the contest: I. The title must consist of only two words, each beginning with J. II. "The" may be used to introduce J. J. III. The suggestions must be orig­ inal. Do not seek the advice of your teacher, even as the last resort. IV. The suggestions must be sub­ mitted to the junior class advisor on or before the 14th day of December, 1917. V. One contestant may offer as many suggestions as he chooses, pro­ viding each one is on a separate slip of paper. The prize offered is a pound box of candy. 1 The contest will be decided by com­ petent and unbiased judges and the re­ sult will be announced on the next appearance of this column.

Nicholas Hess In last week's isue we failed, thru oversight, to mention the death and burial of another one of our highly respected citizens, Nicholas Hess, who passed away at his late home here on Saturday morning, Nov. 10 The de­ ceased was born on the old Hess homestead, situated one and one-half miles north of this place, where he continued to make his home until about two years ago, when he, with his sister, moved to this place, where he has since resided. As previously stated, he always assisted his parents on the old home­ stead and after their death he and his sister continued to work the farm together. A short time before com­ ing to Johnsburg to reside he suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which he never recovered. Mr. Hess was a man who was al­ ways held in the very highest esteem by his 'many friends in and around this village. He was a hard worker, a devout Roman Catholic and a faith­ ful member of the Young Men's sodality of St. John's church here. He leaves, besides his sister, who since the death of their parents has kept house for him, a brother, Peter, of Wauconda. The funeral took place from St. John's Catholic church here at 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning of last week with interment in the cemetery adjoining. Rev. Wm. Weber, pastor of the church, presided. A large gath­ ering of friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones.

Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional condition* requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby de­ stroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na­ ture in doing Its work.
