Just one thing, though. Don't put a hook on the line. If you have to keep haullay In fish, your relaxation Is too terribly interrupted. Miller has a unique way of advertising twine. He had a ball of twine in his car the other day and one of the children tied the end to Roy's porch, away went Roy in his oar, turned the corner and headed for Riverside Drive. You could trail him all the- way Pr V4T., Clolce "Dinty" Wagner, *h old schoolmate paid us an annual Visit the past week. We covered' a lot of events of those good, old days.

Some loved one to cherish, a good book to read, A garden, and flowers are rare treasures indeed. When you are at peace with your environment your house-guest will be contentment. A permanent wave is a woman's necessity, a permanent wife is a man's necessity; and a permanent happiness is everyone's necessity. Losing your heart is not a loss, yon usually get one in return. ANQNYMOUS The Shamrocks were eliminated from the state . baseball tournament at Elgin Saturday night In a 4 to 2 Idss to DeKalb. While 'Hugh Murphy lacked the fine edge he displayed the previous week, Nelson Potter, veteran of many major league battles, had the sitaatiofa pretty well in hand.

George won the steak-eating contest Bill Moore | *** heat at jumping over tables. : Frank could eat only two steaks iince he dMn't want to slow down his speed on the ball diamond. Helene (the bookkeeper) worried about the expense account when she wasn't socking home runs. Ben Jang, showed how to pitch horse shoes. Bill Burfeindt saw that everybody had a good time--and thanks! The boys would like to hand out a bouquet to Sylvester Tonyan for a neat job of placing gravel over tn« low spots around the edge* of the V.F.W, diamond. Such help, and cooperation in sports promotion is. appreciated.

Kreeger hurled a 3-hitter as Algonquin beat Woodstock 3 to 0.

The Johnsburg Tlgera trailed Hebron * to 1 ioing Into the fourth inning on the Johnsburg diamoad last Sunday, but started layln' tht wood on for 14 hits and eventual victory, 10 to 8. Eddie Jackson was on the hill for the Tigers, hurling steady ball and not being scored on after the third innuing.' Bud Meyer was again the leading hitter, retiring to the bench after 3 for 3, including a threebagger, Besides, Bud stole two bases. Manager Pitzen used 14 players and did considerable switching of positions in the late innings to watch the performance of some of his rookies. Hebroa again showed that they lack the pitching necessary to win in the county .league. Capable pitching would, undoubtedly put the team very much in the thick of the league race.
