CONCEKT HELD TODAY EVENING • ; The annual concert of the McHenry high school band was given on the school grounds Friday evening, May 21, and was most successful in every way. This was the first outdoor concert to be given by the band *nd was more or less of an experiment in that respect, but it met with to much approval from the large crowd of listeners that no doubt the outdoor feature will be tried again in the future. Good luck, favored the undertaking even to the weather which was ideal and somevhat warmer than the preceding night?. The stage was the raised ground at the north end of the high school building, which was well lighted with large arc lights and flood lights arranged by Janitor Joe, who is always on the job when it comes to arrangements at the high school bud who does many varied duties for the benefit of the school and pupils, denoting a great interest in his work. Probably more people .heard the band play at this concert tlian ever before for a large crowd was present on the grounds where chairs and benches were arranged in addition to the hundreds of cars parked along the streets in the block. This band concert is one of the musical treats of the season and is anticipated by patrons of the high school and the public in general. The band is composed of about forty members who have worked hard and faithfully towards the completion of the program and they, indeed, showed their friends just how well they could do in the beautiful program which they rendered. The program was unusually pleasing this year with a variety of numbers that held the interest of everyone and in addition to the several selections by the band there were solo numbers, songs by the girls' quartet, and selections by the Syncopators, who always please with their popular tunes. The directors of the band, W: N. Sears and Miss Mildred Minnich, dovoted much time to the preparation of the program and the band has shown wonderful development under their supervision. A rapidly increasing interest on the part of the public in the music of the high school has been evinced in the past and was again made evident by the large crowd of Friday night. v,.*y, ". .iVv - * POPP FOR THEM THE WAR GOES ON MBS. H. 0. HANKERMEYER DIBS AT WAUKEGAN Mrs. Henry C. Hankermeyer, GO years old, died at her home at Waukegan Saturday, May 21, 1932, following a stroke with which she was stricken on Thursday and from which she never recovered. Mr. and Mrs. Hankermeyer had just moved to Waukegan where they planned to make their home, leaving Chicago where they had lived for the past twenty years. They were former residents of McHenry, moving from here to Chicago about twenty years ago. Mrs. Hankermeyer was formerly May Frillman. She is survived by her husband, her son, Roy, and sisters, Julia E. Miller, Oak Park, and Hattie McClellan of Battle Creek, Mich., and one grandson, Marshall Hankermeyer. Funeral services were held from the home of her son at 651 Judge ave- For mont of aa the W orld W ar has slipped fourteen years into the past, a dimming memory of drilling soldiers, knitting women. Liberty Loan drives and the glad hysteria of Armistice Day. But for many thousands of men, living largely unnoticed in our midst, the war is still going on. For them the war is just as real today as it was when, urged by their youthful patriotism and applauded l>y our cheers, they boarded trains for camps, ship3 and battle front. They are the disabled. Row on row they lie in the white beds of a hundred hospitals, or hidden in humble homos they endure with quiet courage the privations and humiliations that sickness and poverty bring. And by their sides sharing their suffering are brave women, their wives. There, too, are little children, unborn when the world went mad with war, but paying the cost in hardship and blighted opportunity. The government heflps, gives all the law will allow. In many cases this is enough for a meager living, enough to keep hunger and cold away. But the law is a ^cold, impersonal thing, written down in legal phrases and bound tightly with inelastic tape. Ten or twenty dollars a month may be all that "it allows, or in many, many cases which do not come within legal bounds, there is nothing. For the disabled veterans and their families when the government cannot reach with adequate aid, there is only one source of assistance, their former comrades in The American Legion and the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of these comrades in the American Legion Auxiliary. The ability of the Legion and Auxiliary to help is derived to a large degree from one thing---the little poppy which the women of the Auxiliary offer on the streets on Poppy Day each year. From the dimes, quarters and dollars which are contributed for the poppies, fluids are accumulated which enable the Legion and Auxiliary to carry forward their vast program of relief and rehabilitation work during the following year. Every penny contributed goes to this cause. The disabled men themselves make the ^poppies. For months they have been working in hospitals and convalescent workrooms in many parts of the country. Employment has been given to thousands who otherwise would have been forced to sit with only bitter thoughts for occupation while their* families fought hunger and need: How so4n these men can be placed back to w'orfc making poppies for the 1933 Poppy Day depends upon the public response to Poppy Dafy this year. The total of the war debts cannot be added up in dollars. Far greater BEAUTIFUL TULIPS GROW AT RING WOOD than bilUcww owed national treasuries is the debt that must be paid in human suffering. No moratorium can be declared on this indebtedness. It goes oii steadily through prosperity, and depression with its grim interest heavily compounded as more and more, veterans break down from results of their war service. They, the gallant men who won the war, must pay this terrible cost. But we. can help a little. On Poppy Day we have our chance to help lighten their burden. Few of us are so poor we cannot buy a poppy, and God grant that none of us are so dead to gratitute and sympathy that we will not. Saturday, May 28th,. is Poppy Day this year. On that day. to honor those who found eternal peace among the poppies of Franee and Flanders and to aid those for whom the war has never ended, we will wear an American Legion and Auxiliary poppy.

Present this clipping; for admission. Many people have a hobby or some Specialty in which they are particularly interested and one which brings enjoyment to others as well as to himself is the love of flowers which is evinced by Henry M. Stephenson of Ringwood in the beautiful blossoms that he raises. At the present time he has a bed of tulips which are too beautiful for words and which bring forth exclaaia-, tions of delight from all who see them. The bed is a mass of bright hued blooms, 1,500 in number, comprising about eighteen varieties which vary from a bright scarlet to the most delicate rose pink, from a deep bronze to a clear yellow, and from several shades of red to a lavender and other lovely shades. Perhaps one of the most beautiful varieties is the Inglescombe yellow which is a clear yellow when the buds first open but as the blooms become older they are tinted and streaked with red, which make them most attractive. Other varieties which Mr. Stephenson raises are the Bronze Queen, Don Pedro, Pride of Haarlein, Ingiescombe Scarlet, Centenaire, Princess Elizabeth, t>ream. White Queen, Matchless, William Pitt, Bartigon, Gen. Ney, LQUJS XIV, Afterglow and Clara Butt. The three main varieties of tulips are the Dar win, Cottage and Breeder strains which are composed of the many different and beautiful shades. Each variety has colors &f its own peculiar characteristics as for instance there are no yellow tulips in the Darwin strain. This is the first season for this beautiful bed of tulips which Mr. Stephenson plans to take up every year as the blossoms are much larger and stronger when this is done. Many of the blossoms stand a strong thirty inches from the. ground on sturdy stems which hold1 them erect through wind and rain. They continue to grow after the blossoms operi, many of them adding six inches to their height as they continue to develop. Tulips increase rapidly . and the bulbs will treble in two years, and it is in this way that Mr. Stephenson increases his ever growing collection of beautiful varieties. He makes a study of their culture and revels in their perfect blooms and spends many hours in the cars of these and other flowers. In addition to his collection of tulips, Mr. Stephenson Has planted about 8,000 gladioli bulbs of 150 varieties which promise to even surpass his lovely tulips. His garden is also complete with about fifteen varieties of peonies and twenty varieties of iris, which keep him supplied with Iblossoms during most of the season. The Stephenson home is a beautiful and comfortable one situated on one of Ringwood's pleasant streets where guests are always made to feel most welcome. At one side of the yard is a rock garden which is ideally situated with a background of shrubs and trees, where many hardy plants furnish a variety of bloom among the rocks. Later on, another bed of rosy morn petunias will add a touch of color to the green of the grass and trees. Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson are to be complimented upon their beautiful I home and gardens of lovely flowers.
