"Digping Up the Dirt," the three-act comedy presented last Friday evenig at the McHenry Community high school by the Junior class, won the "four star" rating in the opinion of the entire audience that filled the high school auditorium to capacity, showing the general interest of the public in the affairs of the school and of the younger generation. There were many reasons why "Digging Up the Dirt" was a success last week and if one were to name somo of the contributing factors they would he found to include co-operation, unerring1 direction, good characterization, which is naturally followed by clever acting, and the dialogue was the type that keeps the interest ait top notch. Then there was a little love interest and a mystery, besides some most unusual costumes and novel stage-pl >t, j so what more could one ask ? Last, ! but by no means least, there was a I receptive audience, which showed its [appreciation of the players in no uncertain manner, enjoying the predicaments of Ken and Bill, with several igood laughs and quickly catching the humor of the unusual situations. Three-Act Comedy "Digging Up the Dirt," by Bert J. Norton, a comedy in three acts, full of good-natured fun and uncommonly TOOBHEBX ARE KEPT BUST WEDNESDAY y was a busy day for the McHenry fire department, with, two big fires during the day causing a property loss of several thousands of dollars, which would have been considerably greater had it not been for the quick and efficient work of the local firemen. About 10:80 o'clock Wednesday morning the beautiful home formerly owned by William J. Welch and occupied by McHenry's attorney, C. M. McDermott, where Judge Welch also made his home, was greatly damaged by fir© which, it is thought, started from the chimney. : The flames were breaking through the roof of the building as the fire siren gave the alarm and soon the roof was enveloped by the blaze as volunteer workers rapidly carried 'Hit furniture before it became damaged by water and flames. The fire department succeeded in saving the main part of the building although the interior is ruined by the water which streamed down the walla and through the ceiling]* Much of the furnishings on the second floor and in the room occupied by Judge Welch were badly damaged by the water, also, Mr. MecDermott is McHenry's candidate for state's attorney on the Democratic ticket and the contents /tf his office in the sunparlor were unharmed. During the day the furniture from the wrecked home was stored and Mr. McDermott took bis wife and little son to Chicago Wednesday afternoon^ where they will remain with relatives until further arrangements can be made here. Mrs. Magruder, sister-m-law of Mrs. McDermott, and her three children, who have been here for several weeks, returned to Chicago, also.

But *Cyclone Sally" is not that kind of a calamity. She is a most winsome lass, and the only havoc she creates is with men's hearts, more particularly with the heart of a certain young man who starts out to capture a fortune and is instead captured by Sally. The plot is unfolded in the roaring fnrce entitled "Cyclone Sally," produced by St. Mary's players under the auspices of St. Clara's Court, W. C. O. F., for the benefit of St. Mary's church at the Community high school auditorium on Sunday, April 24, afternoon and evening. If you wish to enjoy a hearty laugh don't miss it.

A memorable event in the history of Riverview Gamp, R. N. A., took place Tuesday evening when past oracles' night was observed with past oracles of the camp filling offices. About fifty-five members were present to enjoy the evening, which was a very pleasant one, with the reception of candidates, the presence of the past oracles, novel entertainment and a delicious supper making the evening brimfull of interesting events. During the evening each past oracle gave the history of her year and these reports were most interesting, showing the varieties of ideas and their change as the years advanced. An important feature In the history of the past oracles was the record of Mrs. Agness Wentworth, who, including the two members taken in Tuesday evening, has taken in ninety new members and six by transfer during her four years aa oracle. This breaks the record for the camp and indeed a record to bfc proud of and ono which the camp also appreciates. Also, Mrs. Wentworth has the record of attending 116 meeting* of River* view camp in succession without missing one, which is also one to be Other oracles average from ten to twenty new members during their years. Following the meeting a novel tertainment, which might well be termed a musical melodrama, was put on by Frances and Elsie Vycital, their sister, Violet Woodard, of Racine, and Mrs. Gertrude Schaefer.

Cards were also played during the evening with Mrs. George Miller winning high honors in bridge and Margaret Weber in five hundred: A delicious supper was sefved with the past oracles seated at one table, each one receiving a handkerchief bouquet, delicately scented, and tied with a purple ribbon.
