This year the campaign will be from Feb. 6 to Feb. 12, during the week when the Scouts of the entire nation are celebrating their eighteenth aiiniversary.

The solicitors will be men yoa know and you will make them feel that their task is worthwhile if you gave them all the support possible.

The McHenry boys gained an early lead and at the half the score stood 9 to 14, in favor of McHenry. The first half was slow, but as the third quarter opened it seemed that Rich mond was out for victory. They spurted for a few points, but the Mc Henry boys were not to be outdone. They kept right on piling up the score The sensation of the game was shot from almost under Richmond'3 basket by Nick Miller. Miller recruit from the first team, but has earned a steady berth and plays like a veteran. Hawk-eye Harrison was there with his usual basket shooting. Frett played a fast game while Dowell seemed to have his eye on the basket and should prove to be a valuable scoring man in the near future. Barbian led the scoring with ten points. The final score was 32 to 19. The line up was*. Barbian, rf; Frett, If; Dowell, c; Harrison, rg; Miller, lc. Subs, Schreoder, Thurlwell, Vycital. The Sophomore girls played a I team picked from the rest of the school and won an easy victory of 7 to 0. Leone Conway proved to be the star, she making all of the seven points scored. Th6 McHenry high school boys played two games this week. On Friday night they travel to Harvard and on Saturday night Huntley plays on the local gym floor. The Huntley game should prove to be a fast, hotly contested one. Our boys played Huntley on the Huntley floor at the opening of the season and lost by rather a large margin. However, in that game the local boys were handicapped by a lack cf experience and by the fact that they were playing" their Hi v4" game on a strange fl^cr. C'ncc IV • opening of the season the local team has made big improvements and if the comparative dope is correct, the two teams will meet on even terms his week. Nearly all the teams which our beys have been playing lately on equal terms, have won at least one game from Huntley. Mm CaadUates May Eater Kit llr Seat In the Lowe* House According to Editor M. W. Walsh of the Harvard Herald there are at least four and perhaps five Republican candidates from Lake county for the lower house in the next Illinois legiislature, four >f.rom McHenry county and one from Boone county, if all remain in the race at the coming primaries. Legislative Contest Looatp -' ; That the legislative contest in the Eighth senatorial district looms big is what one concludes when reports are received from Lake county. During the regime of Wm. F. Weiss as a political leader in Lake county he was able to hold things in shape on a pretty even keel. But now it is said the cdunty will have a grist of aspirants for the legislature. Likelihood of four and possibly five looms at | this time. I Lee McDonough, ex-county treasur-! er, and Richard Lyon, realtor at Mundelein, have been virtual entrants for several weeks and they are expected to keep their fedoras in the ring until electors of the district determine the party nominees. Frank Fowler-a Candidate A True Fish Story Joe Heimer and William Schneider, while fishing through the ice at McCullom's Lake on Monday of last week report the catch of a 14-lb pickerel. When the fish was takgn from the lake they found a 1%-lb, black bass in its throat and inside the bass was a minnow, which was the original bait. The pickerel was not hooked but the fins of the bass stock in his throat and had served the same purpose, preventing the big fish from getting loose. The fishermen and witnesses vouch- for the truth of this story. Who's got a better one ?
