"Cousin" Everett Harding ii still making his headquarters at the McHenry county jail at Woodstock, as are thirteen others. The Woodstock post of the American Legion is planning on a big Fourth of July celebration to be held on die fair grounds h» that city. The athletes of the Woodstock high school won first honors at the inter- 8cholastic track meet held at Belolt college a week ago last Saturday. At a meeting of the members of the Co-operative Society of America held at Woodstock one evening recently it was decided to hold a county picnic some time in the near future. The new power plant of the Public Service company, which is to be built at Waukegan, will, when completed, be one of the largest of the kind in the country. P. C. Leonard of Lake Zurich is the possessor of a large Curtiss biplane anfl with his pilot is now making the towns in this locality, carrying passengers on pleasure flights. ' On the ground that the cost of living has declined thirty-five percent within the last year, the board of education at Aurora' has rejected the plea of school teachers for an increase in salary.

At least, this was the decision of local good road boosters who met at the village hall here last Friday evening. The meeting, which wis called for the purpose of further organization of local workers who are anxious to see the proposed county road program put over at the judicial election to be held on Monday, June 6, brought forth interesting and timely discussion on the road issue and, judging from the interest that is already being shown, the good road campaign in "McHenry township will, from now|| be waged in all earnestness. CnMsittees of workers have been appointed in every section 6f the township and these men, with the assistance dT friends of the movement, hope that their efforts in this direction will result in a favorable local vote for the proposition when the appointed day arrives. The question of improving the road between this village and Pistakee Bay, whicfi was also one of the important topics *for discussion, brought out much favorable comment. In fact, the first step towards bringing this proposition to a reality was taken and if the summer people along Fox river and the Bay, together with farm owners who will be benefitted, will give the local workers their full cooperation, said road will be put in first-class shape and oiled. Wm. B. Tony an," McHenry. township road commissioner, on invitation, met with the committee last Friday evening and assured the workers that he would be willing to do his part. He also gave out the information that the township had only recently placed an order for a scarifier of the same type KOADMOSTEtS IN SESSION AT CITY HALL, WOODSTOCK ON .

According to rumors heard about Wauconda last week, an attempt to wreck the gas car, operating between that village and Palatine, was made on a recent morning. The car was derailed near Lake Zurich by a loose rail, but fortunately not much damage resulted! Jos. Haas, the Wauconda real estate man, is out to make a real summer resort at Slocum's lake, where he has recently purchased a forty acre tract and is now laying same out into lots. On a recent Sunday there were over 2Q0 people out from Chicago to look had not as yet been delivered, altho looked for its arrival at any time. He further assured the committee that the machine would be put to work on the Pistakee road immediately after its arrival. Acting upon this information the local committee at once set out to get in touch with some of our reeorters as well as officials of tha Fox River Valley Deep Waterway association in Richard R, Walsh of McHenry Main Speaker--Atty. Roy Phillips of Elgin Alao Makes Able Talk Another meeting of the members of the McHenry County Good Roads association and boosters took place at the city hall at Woodstock on Monday evening of this week, at which time there were present fifty or more representative men from all parts of the county. While the attendance was not as large as had been anticipated, the members of the association were encouraged and felt that the interest^h the proposition was growing. The meeting was called to order by E. A. Manley of Harvard, secretary of the association, R. I. Overton of this village, who is president of the body, being unable to be present on account of the sudden and serious illness of his mother. After a few remarks the chairman introduced Richard B. Walsh, who gave his audience an able address along the line of co-operation, which is so necessary in any undertaking and much more so in a proposition of the kind that the voters will be asked to decide at the judical election on Monday, June 6. In leading up to his point Mr. Walsh went over our country's history in as brief a manner as possible and then pointed out that our progress up until now had been due to co-operation and this was most necessary at a time like this. In bis position as a traveling representative of a large stock and bond house in Chicago, Mr. Walsh gets over this and neighboring states as often as do most men whose duties ^pke them out on the road and therefore was able tf> speak from real experience and not from hearsay or newspaper articles and, according to the speaker, the one big question that seems to confront most every county in the state that he has visited in his travels is the building of good roads. His address was brim full of good, sound business judgment and, as the chairman remarked at the close "if a talk like this doesn't put pep into us I don't know what will," was timely indeed. Mr. Walsh was given a rousing applause, Atty. Roy Phillips of Elgin, who, to a great extent has been instrumental in getting hard roads for Kane coun- CARNIYAL OPENS TONIGHT Points to a MostAliapi- 1 cieos Opening .., The big three night American Legion carnival, sponsored by the McHenry post, opens at their hal^on the West Side this (Thursday) evening and from all indications a big throng will be on hand to assist in making the opening a most auspicious orfe. All of the various booths, stands and rooms which are to contain the special attractions are in readiness and the dough boys are on their toes and ready to go to work. The planning and* arranging for an event of this kind is no small task an4 those who have been on the job almost continually durfhg the past two weeks will tell you so. However, in order to fully appreciate what has been accomplished by the members of the local post, one must pay a visit to the big show tonight, Friday or Saturday. It will be something that you cannot get too much of and by going tonight you will become so enthused that you'll become a regular attendant, and therefore will have a task on your hands to keep yourself from ^oing every night. Of course everyone will be there on the closing night when the real doings will take place. This will be Saturday night and someone is going home with an order for a fully equipped Ford touring car, while some fair lady will be awarded the beautiful ring. Then, too, the Mardi Gras feature is going to prove a big attraction and nnless you are sick abed you are going to be there. A number of our young ladies have offered their assistance and will be. found in charge of the booth assigned DEDICATE GROTTO TUESDAY JOHNSBURG WILL WITNESS RARB EVENT ^ Rt. Rev. P. J. Muldoan, Bishop of Rockford Will Be In Charge of Impressive Ceremonies Next Tuesday, May 24, will bo a gala day for Johnsburg. The event which give&ypromise of making it such will be the dedication of the Lourdes grotto, which was erected in St John's cemetery there larit fall as a memorial to the late Rev. H. M. Mehring, who for many years acted as the pastor of St. John's parish. Thru the untiring efforts of Rev. William Weber, the present pastor, and who has been at Johnsburg for about seven years, an elaborate program befitting such an occasion has been arranged and with favorable weather our neighbors should entertain one of the largest crowds on this day that has ever gathered in their midst. Rev. Weber has not only enlisted the assistance of his own parishioners in his efideavor to see the event made a memorable one, but hfe has also invited, besides the Rt. Rev. P. J. Muldoon, bishop of Rockford, a large number of clergymen and laymen from neighboring towns and cities to be in attendance on that day. Acceptances of the invitations extended are now being received daily. Besides a general invitation, which has been extended by the pastor and his congregation, a special request to be present has been made to the McHenry, Woodstock and Elgin councils, Knights of Columbus, as well as to the numerous other fraternal as well as church organizations of the neighthem, while the veterans of the late boring, towns, which take in our village, Volo and Spring Grove. order to ascertain just how much as- ^ wag algo preMnt and called upon, sistance could be expected from them raannniioA i,v o-mno- over details and from the manner in whi<!h the few who have already been approached have expressed themselves it now looks as if little trouble would be encountered in the raising of the required funds with which to purchase the oil. If the project goes over, and we have every reason to believe tjiat it will, it will be the biggest and best thi^g of the sort ever accomplished and there isn't any, good reason why the "local committee should not have the undivided support of McHenry people and summer resort^rs alike in their endeavor. „ t t ,g New Electric ^ A handsome new electric sign was erected on the southwest corner of the Justen hotel here the first of the week, which not only evidence* the progressive spirit of the owner of the popular hostelry, but will also provide an excellent advertising medium.

Down there a bond issue was fij-st voted on and this lost out On their second attempt the direct tax of 50c on each $100 assessed valuation was put up to the voters and was carried. Mr. Phillips explained the difference between the bond issue and direct tax simply by pointing out that in the issuance of a bond issue, covering a period of twenty years, the loss in selling the bonds and interest charges would be found a surprisingly large item and thus the roads would not get the entire benefit of all money raised in this manner, while thru the direct tax every penny would be expended upon the roads. "I am firmly of the belief," he stated, that the state will refund every penny that you put into state roads in McHenry county and will also refund half the cost 'of building state aid road. Down in Kane county we have already received several installments of refunds and this summer we expect approximately $150,000 more." According to the Elgin attorney the old way of building roads is all wrong and wasteful. "It's the intelligent road building which the public demands now-adays and that's the kind of road you are going to get if yoU vote for an additional tax next June," the speaker emphasized. And so it is. Under the present day traffic the old gravel road isn't going to stand up and there is only one thing to do and that is to build hard roads. That there is opposition to the proposition is true and that not all will vote for the additional tax is equally true, but it is the intention of the members of the county organization as well as the friends of good roads te wage a thoro campaign prior to the coming election, during which their aim will be to enlighten the uninformed just what benefits are to be derived, how much additional tax they will be called upon to pay and the, various other phases of the proposi tion which are not understood or which may have been put to the voters in a wrong light by some who were not correctly informed, on the matter. A membership selling campaign which was started last week, has been continued for another at least and longer if found necessary, a8 it is the desire of the officers to get a membership of at least 500 road boosters into the organization before "the close of the campaign. The reports of the various committees, as made at last Monday evening's meeting, showed that the town- of McHenry was leading the entire county in the sale of membership tickets and if every town- , wiil d© J»er -/ war will be kept busy with the various attractions. Once more let us remind you, THE BIG DOINGS OPEN UP TONIGHT. First Universslist Church There are two theories of life. One is that it is to be lived here. The other is that all except an insignificant hit of it is to be lived hereafter. Which should we choose? Is a choice necessary? Is immortality a fact a hope or disproved and discorded theory? What has the bible to say of it *nd what has the church to say today? These questions will be considered from the pulpit nekt Sunday in a sermon entitled "The Other-world Idea." On Friday -and Saturday evenings and Sunday morning of next week the church is to have Ihe pleasure of hearing the Rev. M^ Robinson, superintendent of the middle western conference of Universalists. Mr. Robinson is a very pleasing and very able peaker, and everyone is most urgently invited to take advantage of this opportunity to hear him. More definite announcement will be made next week. John M. Grimes, Minister. , dean Up Day May 27 Sfbtice is hereby given that Friday, May 27, is hereby designated as clean day within the village of McHenry and all persons owning or leasing proi>erty on or near any street or alley are hereby requested to remove all trash, rubbish, ashes, cas, rocks, debris, etc. Your earnest co-operatioh is greatly desired and appreciated in an effort to improve civic conditions and make our town appear presentable on Decoration day. 4 SP®" cial invitation is extended to our teachers and scholars for their assistance.
