.vi "SO I m by EARL R. WALSH Winding up with • 640 series. Hup Smith Jus been banting up the bowling alleys the pest week. In twelve consecutive games, Hup ran up a total of 2395 pins. That's a pile of timber. Here's one for you pinochle players. Let's call the girls by their first names just to be chummy. Clara Schiessle, Nettie, Katie and Gertie Weber were the foursome. Gertie was the dealer, using a deck and a half. When they picked up the cards, Katie, Clara and Gertie each had nuts. Ever happen in your league? • It was after a meeting Monday night that we found one of those GUP elephants pinned tightly to our overcoat. Mayor Overtcft tried to look innocent. We left it on the coat and decided to walk into the Plaindealer office Tuesday morning to give 'em a shock. Then our young hopefuls. saw it and nearly came to blows over possession of the little elephant. The "weaker sex" won. .Well, well try to enlighten both of them when they get a little older! Not So Satisfied AQUAKER put up a sign on a vacant piece of ground next to his house: "I wfll give this lot to anyone who is really satisfied." A wealthy farmer, as he rode by, read it. Stopping, he said, "Since my Quaker friend is going to give that piece away, I may as well have it as anyone else. I am rich. I have all I need, so I am able to qualify."- He went up to the door. "And is thee really satisfied?" asked the Quaker. "I have all I need and am well satisfied." "Friend," said the other, '.'if thee is satisfied, what does thee want with my lot?" ^ And it would have pleased Eleanor Manning to see that Republican symbol on our lapel. "Mose" was pleased to show us a letter from Eleanor expressing a hope that he could show us the light. It isn't like as if he hasn't tried, Eleanor. Frank Schreiner, former publisher and ace-high sports 'writer of the Plaindealer, gives the sports department encouragement in a letter to the boss. Thanks, Frank. We miss your visits these days. Hope the. groundhog won't see his shadow this year and that you will be with the gang come fine spring days. Many people say. the»y prefer watching teams from the county play our high school basketball teams. "Oiat's understandable. Part of it is due to old rivalries. The other part may be due to the fact that we fare better against teams from these parts. FRAGILE 8TUFR. A woman was mailinf tHe trtd family Bible to her brother in a distant city. The postal clerk examined the heavy package carefully and inquired if it contained anything breakable. "Nothing bat the Ten Commandments," was the quick reply. High Speed An excited woman threw a faded apron on the counter in a shop. "Look at .this!" she cried. "Look at it!" 4 "I'm looking at it, said the assistant. "What about it?" "What about it?" shouted the woman. "Why, when you sold me that apron you said its color was fast. And look what happened. The color came out at the first washing!" "Well," answered the girl, looking somewhat surprised, "wasn't that fast enough?" You can watch a county Slay the Warriors here Friday night, [iarvard is coming to town.

This winter weather has again brought out the need for a skating pond in McHenry. .We have water galore around here, but ice skating has not been good. It is the plan now to black-top the additional space purchased with the new athletic field. This space can be flooded in the winter to give smooth and safe skating to both the children and adults. i 4 Parents are sure to join, wholeheartedly in this project. It will take a lot of worry off their minds. Let's keep this idea alive. A motorist who was picked up unconscious after a smash, opened , his eyes as he was being carried into a nearby filling station. He began to kick and struggle and tried desperately to get away. Afterwards he explained that the first thing he saw was a "Shell" sign, and "some fool was standing in front of the S."

CO-OPS FAIL TO SBQW CLASS AS BXBKOV WIHB BABY VICTORY 63 TO 36 Far and away the biggest crowd of the season turned oat last Sunday night to watch the Co-ops play an array of Hebron basketball stars. None were disappointed in the class shown by the visitors, but only faint cheers were sounded for the general play of the home stalwarts. The big game ended with 63 points for Hebron and the same figures reversed (36) for McHenTy. While all eyes were on Howie Judson, who gained fame at the University of Illinois following his days at Hebron High, the ijans attention was soon diverted to tne clever play and accurate shooting of Tibbitts. Tibbitts sank 6 field goals and one free throw in the first half that ended 30 to 20 in favor of Hebron. He cooled off in the second half, but found his mates stepping in to maintain the scoring paee. The Co-ops failed to show the type of play which has characterised their latest victories. They had possession of the ball aplenty, but specialised in doing the wrong thing at the right time. /Hebron's second team won 48 to 82 with a well-balanced attack. The same teams met at Hebron the previous Wednesday night with far different result*. The Co-ops second team eked out a 1-point victory while the big Co-ope ^ave a good account of themselves in losing by only 4 points, 55 to 51. Like the little boy--when our Coops are good, they are very, very good and when they are bad--. sTsoHo rnnsa aires WASKIOBS 38 TOSS wnr nou Those Warriors of KCHS get morel unpredictable as time goes on. After beating Hebron, runner-up team in the county tournament, on Tuesday night of last week, they came, through with a 38 to 32 win over Whitewater on Friday night. Both wins were on the home floor. At one stage in the third period the Whitewater gang started to roll and held an edge of 9 points. It was in the fourth quarter that Don Peterson showed the stuff that everybody has expected of him all ; season. Don sent four swishers j through the net in a rousing finish and the ball game was tucked away. Not many games have rftirred the I crowd more than this one. 'hie old i gym rocked with thunderous cheers j and -mournful groans as the tides of fortune changed in, the closing minutes. The visiting boys fried desperately to recover, but the long arms of Millar and Bookman seemed always in the way of their passes or shotss And there was Becker and McCulla streaking' down the floor with the ball---a pair that kept up steam throughout the entire game. Add to this the worry of Peterson's deadly shots and the combination was too much for the Whitewater team. Jack Laures, a sophomore, moved up from the second team, was a starter in this game and gave evidence that he will be a very helpful fellow to have around in the next two years. Carton's 11 point* led the Junior Varsity to a 84 to 28 win in the first game. Hebron Kuecker Tibbitts Judson Johnson ........... Behrens, S. Mau .... Behrens, O. Totals ...---.......

History af Asia Mlaar Skews Many CMHiaMaaa Asia Minor, where many ancient civilizations rose and fell, was the home of the Hittite Empire which created an established civilisation IS centuries before Christ. The Turks are linked racially with the Hittites. They are said to belong to those Central Asiatic tribes which migrated westward from the Altai jnountains. Before settling in Asia Minor, toward the end of the sixth century A. D., 'the Sky Turks, as they called themselves (Gok Turkler) because they came from the high country, are known to have created an empire which extended from the Caspian sea to the sea of Japan. Through the centuries which fol. lowed many Turkish tribesmen migrated into Asia Minor, there to take up their abode. Long accustomed to rule, they gradually dominated the earlier inhabitants. The idea that the Turks came into Asia Minor in one great invading wave is wrong. It is more correct to say that their permanent establishment in their present homeland waa achieved by a slow process of infiltration or penetration of peoples.
