Flans are now being formed that will make the county league the best that has ever been in existence. Meeting starts promptly at 7:30. Will McHenry have a team? After all the ballyhoo turned loose about the prospective elimination of the center jump and other changes in rules for basketball the rules committee failed to do anything startling. The stalling game was discussed freely, but its adherents succeeded in forestalling all srf the numereus ideas offered to eliminate this wnetintt abjectional style of game. It is especially objectional when the opposing side is several points ahead with a minute or two to go. To J. C. Thies the members of the first sqosd bf the MAAC basketball team wish to extend their sincere thanks for a most enjoyable evening. On Thursday night of last week Jack threw a little dinner party for the boys just to show that he appreciated all their efforts of the past season, and every last one of the beys declared that, it was the best time th^y had at a similar occasion. And those thanks include Mrs. Thies as well, for the menu deserved the justice shown it by the MAAC men. Spring is here. Saturday the Mis Henry Golf club opened.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY FIRST AID TEAM WINS The first aid team of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois won first place in the seventh annual Red Cross championship first aid contest held April 2 in the 132nd Regiment armory, Chicago. This marks the second successive year that a team representing the Public Service Company has won the contest. Every member of the team scored 100 per cent in the rating of the fifteen judges. This is the first time in the history of the contest that such a record has been made. The Western Electric Company Hawthorne plant team and the Illinois Bell Telephone Company team were tied for second and third places with a score of 98.2. The 108th Engineers Regimental team placed fourth with 97.6. On the winning Public Service Company team were: Harold D. Hady, Maywood; Clyde Larson, Evanston; Leonard M. Hank, Waukegan; Earl B. Dahl, Crystal Lake, and Jack Vismara, Harvey. J. A. Reilly, of the company's safety division, was their instructor. For their victorious performance, the team was allowed to keep the championship shield for another year. James B. Forgan, Jr., of the Chicago chapter, American Red Cross, presented' the shield to the team. The great value- of the first aid training received By all Public Service Company employees is demonstrated by the fact that during the past two years fourteen employees have been awarded the Britton I. Budd medal for the saving of human life. This medal is awarded to employees of the company who have saved human lives by application of the Schaefer prone pressure method of artificial respiration or other first aid application. It is awarded only when there is positive concrete evidence that the employee has been directly responsible for saving a life. Other cases of life-saving in which the evidence has not been clear enough to warrant the Budd medal have been reported from time to time. There have been munerous case# during the past year in which Public Service first squads have answered emergency calls sent out by police departments or private citizens. Also competing in the championship first aid contest were: Evanston police department; Sherwin-Williams Company, Chicago; Commonwealth Edison Company, Chicago; The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, Chicago; Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company; Quaker Oats Company; 132nd Infantry regimental team; Southurban group, Chicago Safety Council; and the Evanston fire department. Dr. Hugh MacKechnie, Chicago Association of Commerce; Dr. Claude H. Ogden, Illinois Steel Company surgeon, and Dr. S. C. Stanton, brigadier general of the United States Army medical corps, refereed the contest.

The county champs of last year are well set for the opener, they having been working out for over two weeks in preparation for a strenuous season. Miller for Harvard will be on the mound for the home team, with Joe Freund on the reciving end of the battery. Gus Freund will occupy first in his attempted comeback in the national pastime. Harold Ffceund will be back at his old shortstato position to show the boys that h0 n all over the effects of his operation1 last fall that kept him out of thi^Wbite Sox game. At third Sonny Smith will again hold sway. Joe Britz will replace the absent Winkel at the keystone sack. Yankovitch of Wilmot is also on the roster and he may be seen at shortstop if Harold Freund fails to show his old-time form. In the outfield we can only offer a guess as to whom the fly chasers will be. Leo Smith is the only regular from last season, but there seems to be a lot of material of about the same calibre on hand so that there won't be much trouble in finding- some trio to operate sufficiently well to get by. This lineup is decidedly different this year from the one that acquired the county championship last season, losing but one game in the entire schedule of sixteen games. However, the absence of Whiting, Tonyan, Bohr, Winkel and Bacon will not be noticed if rumors mean anything, as the early season reports indicate that the team FRANfcj. GfeEEN THANKS VOTERS Woodstock, April 15, 1930 To the Editor: Please, through the columns of your newspaper, express to the voters of your community who supported my candidacy for county treasurer at the recent primary election my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the confidence they placed in me. Many of my friends and supporters l»ve urged me to contest the nomination of Mr. Peteit in the courts, in view of the fact that the canvass of the vote shows a difference of only 86 out of % total of over 12,000 votes cast. However, contests of this nature are not pleasant affairs and generally cause local strife and a division of community sentiment, which it is not my desire to create. The primaries are over and I believe we should now forget politics and all get together and work in the interest of our communities. Furthermore, I have confidence in the integrity and honesty of purpose of the judges and clerks of the thirtyone precincts in the county, ana notwithstanding the small margin by which Mr. Peteit won, it is not my intention to contest his nomination, but instead I will abide by the result as announced and wiU support Mr. Peteit and ask my friends to do likewise at the election in November.

HERE'S A CHANCE TO BE INDIAN FIGHTER "Pay-as-You-Enter," First Requirement. San Francisco.--The first pay-asyou- enter Indian fight In the West's history is ticketed to leave Douglas, Ariz., May 7. It's not a private fight, this Fimbres expedition against the Apaches of Old Mexico. According to promotional material, any genuine Injun fighter, amateur or professional, may sign up and go to the war if he is possessed of good moral character and approximately $210 American gold. The announced purpose of the expedition is to reficue from the Apaches the seven-year-old son of Francisco Fimbres, asserted to have been kidnaped at the time his mother was murdered October 26, 1926. Regarded With Amusement. The Apaches are camped at the Canyon of the Oaves in the Sierra Madre mountains, 165 miles south of the international line. The expedition is to make a surprise march against them, confident that no Indian chieftain has read the newspapers and com plicated the situation by going away from there in the interim. The international aspect of 125 Americans marching into Mexico In pursuit of Indians who are strictly the property of the southern republic has been neatly taken care of by enlisting the entire company as a volunteer militia unit of the Mexican army. The expedition is regarded along the border both with amusement and Interest. The amusement is due principally to the Tinkee promotional basis upon which the expedition Is being organised and financed, and the Interest attaches because of the number of prominent Douglas citizens who head the enterprise. A Qeed Vacation. Mayor A. C. Karger of Dojglas is president of the Fimbres Apache expedition, and Chief of Police Leslie Gatllff is in charge of ^personnel. Chief Gatllff, asked for details, said: "We have a rather unususl undertaking, but the way enlistment* are coming we ought to have between 75 and 100 from the outside and there will be about 20 local men in the organization, It now seems certain." With the true camaraderie of the West, the chief added: "Why not Join us and get the best vacation you ever had, a delightful experience, a fine comradeship, and see some of the most wonderful country God ever made?" It is officially estimated that the expedition will be active for 30 days after the start. May 7. Best accommodations are offered visiting Indian fighters for about $7 a day--to be paid by the said Indian fighters, not the expedition nor the Mexican army--and much of the food will be obtained by killing wild game. More than 140 Douglas business men are listed as sponsors of the expedition, of which number at least 20 will go along, according to Chief Gatllff.
