In 1917 when we entered the World War, our liberty threatened, millions of our men answered the call. This cost billions in money and far more of value in the lives, limbs and health of thousands of American boys. In many hospitals throughout the country there are remnants of once strong, manly forms, many blind-- these men have given all that our country may be secure. Ficture the mental strain of the noncompensated man in the hospital as he thinks of his wife and little children at home with no income. Then open to him this opportunity whereby he can earn money by making Poppies-- $60.00 to $75.00 a month to send his family. This same man also knows he is making these Poppies for the Legion and the Auxiliary who will use the proceeds from sale for a buddy or his family who is more unfortunate than he--as many of the men cannot make them. Then there is the buddy who has paid the supreme sacrifice.

I Harvard wthdrew from the McHenry County League, leaving but four teams in the northern section. The .schedule will now most likely be revised so that the remaining: teams ,.?will keep busy every Sunday. Harvard jgave as their reason the fact that their star pitcher, Miller, a southpaw, was to be employed by Davenport in the Western League. Everybody got their radio seta going full blast for the derby Saturday! It wasn't so long ago that we hoped our batteries wouldn't go deiyi in the middle of the race and one year the set at the Carey Electric Shop (about <the only one in town at the time) Ipwent dead right in the stretch and ytjlall those listening were in doubt as to who wen the race. Jimmy Fay took it oa the noae in his encounter at Antioch last Friday, but that doesn't mean that Jimmy is discouraged. He knew he was going into the ring against a tough foe, but felt that he had all to gain and nothing to lose. He won the first round handily and managed a tie for the second set-to, but his adversary came through strong in the final two minutes and made Fay like it^ Better luck next time! Those ?

When Mil ler couldn't be obtained to mount the mound because of a tryout with Davenport this Linky filled the bill. Then Gus Freund had the misfortune to split a finger in practice and will be out of the game for a month or so and Linky brought his brother along to fill the bill. And now Johnsburg ViA-g a Linky first baseman instead of a lanky one. Surely glad to see that the MeHenry Legion Juniors got off to a good start by trimming their rivals from the county seat last Saturday. The final score was 11-7 and was attained by many hits coupled with the twelve walks which the Woodstock pitcher handed out. Kreutzer and Whiting, the left handed battery, turned in a mighty neat performance and should help considerably in 3m pennant march. Chrig Cagle found a way to escape the military service after his graduation, an event that will now probably never occur, by taking a bride several weeks ago, an act atrictly against the rules and regulations of West Point, where he has starred at football for the last four years. Caglf had been offered a job coaching dowA South, but couldn't take it as he has to serve in the army for at least four years after graduation. Oh well, if it isn't one battle, it's another. McCracken is looking forward to a lfeal close county track meet this year. On paper several of the schools have various first places cinched and it looks like the reserve material is going to be counted upon heavily, second! and thirds probably being the places that will win the meet. Mac is basing his confidence in A. Davis in the mile event and Patzke in the broad jump to cop firsts for McHenry and has these two lads as well as the rest of his squad working hard in preparation for the coming meet. Come down Friday afternoon and watch these stars work out against the Harvard men in the dual meet schedttled for that dfcy. Patzke and A. Davis Star For McHenry-- Harvard Here Friday Dual Meet With Patzke and A. Davis clipping them off in great shape the McHenry high track team ran over Libertyviile in a dual meet here last week. Mac's men took ten out of fourteen firsts, but Libertyviile came back with their reserve material to make the race interesting by capturing many seconds and thirds. Patzke captured three firsts and one second for 18 points while A. Davis counted 13 with firsts in the mile and javelin and a aecond in the 120 yd. high hurdles. Winners in the events follow: 100- yd. dash, Patzke 11 seconds; 220-yard low hurdles, Kreutzer, 34 seconds; 440-yard dash, Howard 64.4 seconds; 120-yard high hurdles, Krummery (L) 20.5 seconds; 880-yard run Chard (L) 2:48 seconds; 220-yard dash O'Shea 26.8 seconds; mile A.

BROADWAY BUMS NEW BALL TEAM Hamilton Parr Is Manager and Carl Thorsell Secretary of Third Local Team The Broadway Bums, McHenry's newest baseball team, was organised at a meeting held at John Anderson's Broadway Barbecue on Tuesday evening of this week and the outlook is now very rosy for a successful baseball season for McHenry and vicinity this summer. With a total of three teams swinging into action in the near future and a new diamond to meet the service of all three, it is hard to realize that the experts have been predicting the downfall of the national pastime. The Bums have chosen as their manager, J. HanSilton Parr, the athletic director of the McHenry Post of the American Legion and the one who is largely responsible for the organization of the Legion Juniors, who won their first contest last Saturday. Carl Thorsell, prominent baseball enthusiast of the local sandlots, is to act The money from the sale of the Poppy will be used to help make conditions better for the family that may be left, in many cases where the mother cannot care for her children. The Legion and Auxiliary will give assistance by caring for the "kiddies" through the Child Welfare program by providing for them a home, when it is .not possible to keep the children and mother together. Then this man will see the Poppy worn as a memorial emblem in tribute to his buddies who diA Our man is now able to take his place as a wage earneris doing something to help someone elqgtand he has a place in life. This is what the Poppy means not only to this man but thousands of others. Many of these men are in the hospitals year after year. To see them making their Poppies one year, then see them the next seems as yesterday to us--as they occupjf the same place as year before; but think what it means to them to be there all these long days. So: "Forget them not! As years go by,4 On our remembrance they rely They are the maimed Death did deny Its solace--crippled, blind, they try To find on earth the peace they know In Flanders' Fields." The Government provides hospitala and maintenance and pays some men compensation. In a National Home we find 287 men making Poppies 175 of these are drawing less than 15 per cent. The Legion and Auxiliary must carry on the service work--by bringing a small measure of cheer to these men who are yet and will be as long as life remains paying the price of service. The Auxiliary service work is carred on mainly by the proceeds from Popj>y sales. Tne Poppy is a fitting emblem to perpetually remind us and unfailingly teach coming generations our debt those who valiantly saved the Light of Liberty for us. r.-r- " ,'v TELEPHONE CO. CUT*.

GRADE SCHOOL NOTES Saturday morning, May 10, found the McHenry Grade School on the track field, fighting for a victory over Algonquin. But to our surprise they had a well developed track team and gave us good competition. During the long and well fought meet McHenry was ahead of Algonquin by only a few points.

The result Is rtssnllnses sfrd comfort and ordec. from $54.76 to $39.76. On the basis of last years' traffic the reduction will mean a saving of approximately $450,- 000 a year to the users. * Chief among the factors enabling the company to put the new reduction into effeot is increased usage of the service. During 1929 transatlantic telephone conversations averaged about fifty per business day. This service started in 1927 with one radio channel connecting New York and London. Service is now on a full twenty-four-hour basis, with four channels linking nearly all the countries of Western Europe with ail telephonea in the United States, Cuba pnd the majority of those in Canada and Mexico. The American Telephone and Tele graph Company has announced plans tor a radio telephone station on the Pacific Coast to connect with tele phones in Hawaii and possibly other countries. A submarine telephone cable to extend from Newfoundland to Ireland is also planned to be complet ed in 1932. It will supplement the present radio telephone service to Europe, furnishing additional votce end telegraph channels, which by that time will be needed to handle tne expected increase in overseas trade. fiMilUal Wales WilPg has been called the British Tyrol because of the loveliness of its mountain scenery.

Plane Are Being Made to Establish a Library For Rural School Use The band concert given by the high school band will be given May 23 and promises to be a real treat for all who enjoy musie. Dates have been set for the annual rural schools promotional exercises with those for McHenry being held at the high school on May 16. These will be given by the schools of the various centers under the direction of a teacher of each district. Final examinations for rural school pupils have been held and the fourth bi-monthly exams were held last week. Passing grades for rural school pupils are made *p of various factors, the teachers estimate, the daily grades, the average of the four bi-monthly grades and the final examination. It is believed that about 275 boys and girls will complete the work of the rural schools of the county this spring. At s recent meeting of the directors of the rural school boards of education seven of these bodies indicated that they would participate in the plans of Mrs. Ethel Coe in forming a rural grade school library. Each school will contribute the initial fund of $25 and will pay an upkeep fund of five dollars each year. The board of the local community high school will contribute probably $200 to this fund which will be enriched by about $100 each year from the proceeds of the promotion exercises which money will be used for this purpose. The ides of the county superintendent, Mrs. Coe, who is backing the project, is that the li brary will be kept in the local high school building where the rural teach ers may send in and procure the books they need. This will be s much appreciated advantage for the rural schools who now have no libraries whatever, it being impossible to main tain a library in each rural school. It is thought that the library will consist of about 400 volumes by next fall and will be enlarged as fast as funds are available. Three members of controlling board for the library will be elected by the three bodies interested being the rural teachers, rural school boards and the high school board. Two of these members have already been elected being Thomas Bolger to represent the school boards, and Rolland McCannon to represent the teachers while the third member representing the high school board w. yet to be selected^ ' iii£' Vhut 8,000 Ynn Old It Is nearly 2,000 years since an urban settlement was founded on the territory which today Is covered by Vienna.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE "BIDE-A-WEE" "Bide-A-Wee," the cozy little sandwich shop on Route 61, owned by Mrs. N. E. Taylor, is an inviting spot to the tired travel-worn tourists as they pur. sue their way along this popular highway and through our city. With its well kept lawn, large spreading shade trees and cool and comfortable interior its silent invitation cannot be resisted and consequently the "Bide-A-Wee" is becoming one of McHenry's most popular eat shops. Mrs. Taylor takes a great interest in improving her place and the spacious grounds present a very attractive appearance with their newlymade flower beds and several bird baths, which are already being enjoyed by our little feathered friends. A new cement sidewalk is being built from the adjacent filling station owned by John R. Knox to the sandwich shop, while in the rear is an ideal parking space and tourist camp with tables for the convenience of those who desire to eat their lunch out-of-doors. Mrs. Taylor also plans to give curb service to her customers this year.
