It is now possible to drive from the •outh limits to the business section of Antioch on a newly paved road. The great Chi-Cook fair held at Haywood during the latter part of August incurred a deficit of $30,000. The Libertyville Commercial chib - last week sponsored a celebration in Honor of the opening of that village's first cement street, which is a part of the Libertyville-Area road. Three young men of Union were re- - Mfitly placed under arrest on charges at drunkenness and disorderly conduct. He alleged disturbance took place at a dance held at Coral Inn near Marengo. The Duluth-Superior limited now •tops at Woodstock and Crystal Lake on its way to Chicago. The train leaves Woodstock at 7:25 a. m. and tfcus gives the county seaters a service which they had long hoped for. In honor of the late Dr. C. C. Miller, famous bee keeper of Marengo, a library on b^e culture is being established at the State University at Madison, Wis. The memorial to the late Marengo resident was made possible thru the effort* of apiarists thruout \ the United States. The American Steam Truck company has tQken over the Duty Motor ^company factory and assets at Elgin and machinery is now being installed in the building preparatory to operating the plant. When once In full operation the new industry wlil give employment -to from forty to fifty men. John A. Strang of Milburn, a prominent cattle buyer, whose operations took him over Lake county, was adjudged a bankrupt in Federal Judge George A. Carpenter's court in Chicago recently. According to the petition filed, his liabilities are $75,000, while saaets of orily $16,000 oan be found. George F. Woleben of Elgin, son of N, V. Woleben of Marengo, fell the victim of a pick pocket in Chicago on Monday of last week. Mr. Woleben, who is a traveling salesman, was boarding a train at the Union station when he lost his roll consisting of $270 , as well as a sapphire stick pin valued v.; I* $40. Wion Speaker, one of the owners at the mill at Richmond, suffered the fracture of his left arm and several ribs one day recently when struck by a heavy piece of belting which was \thrown upon him after an iron pulley bad suddenly broken. Fellow workmen declare that the victim had been lucky to escape with his life. A motor bos company of Chicago, • .Wfcich for a time last summer oper- " ated a line between Chicago and the Mineola hotel at Fox Lake, is planning on operating a similar line to Sound Lake neat season. On account ... at the condition of the roads the bus operating between Chicago and Fox Lake was removed from service early last summer. The operators believe that they can make the Round Lake line a paying venture as most of the / trip can be made over cement roads. Effort to secure a pardon for Qtorge Niggesrmeyer of Fox Lake, who was recently sentenced to serve .twenty-five years in the state penitentiary on a charge of haing shot & man, has proven futile and it now looks aa if George will be obliged to Berve at least several years more of hi« sentence. Hie petition asking for his parole was signed by 200 of his friends, while a counter petition presented by the Lake county state's attorney's office bore more than 2000 signatures. The situation .at the Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock remains about the same as reported two weeks ago. The big plant is almost at a stand still, altho officials hope that ' thing's will so shape themselves as to a|able them to operate the plant with a full working force within the course a# the next few weeks. Quite a number of those who have been hud off a' the Oliver are now employed at Woodsteck plant. Needless to that Hie partial shut-down of Woodstock's principal industry is hurting business in that city considerably 8TEILEPTS POULTRY FARM am- in F a i n thAw wWl K>d- V is One of Meet Modern and Complete •I In This Settle* Altho Jt may not be geneta# known, it is nevertheless a fact that this community is daily getting more or less valuable advertising as a poultry center and that thru the establishment of the Steilen poultry farm, located just outside of- the north village limits. The farm referred to is located on the property recently acquired by Nick F. Steilen from John J. Schrauth and with the completion of an 18x112 poultry building a short time since McHenry has been given one of the most modern as well as largest enterprises of the kind in this section of the country. The building, which besides the office quarters, consists of four rooms, is built on the James way plan and is considered the very latest and most improved thing in poultry housing. The writer visited the farm on Tuesday afternoon of this week and not only was he agreeably surprised at the exceptionally fine quarters, but also at the care that is being given these 700 odd head of poultry by their proud owner, Nick F. Steven. In each of the four rooms of the plant are quartered 180 head of poultry. The extreme south room contained brown Leghorns, room two held 180 of the finest six months old white Leghorn pullets, the third room contained a pen of white Leghorns which* were recently purchased by Mr. Steilen and which are now gradually developing into fine layers. The one and two year old bens are quartered in room four. The pullets are just beginning to lay and, judging from the manner in which they were being taken from their nests on our visit, it will not be long before each and every one of these will be in the laying class. At the present time an average of 120 eggs per day is being produced by the flock, but within a very short time this nuAber is almost certain to be doubled and by the first of the year most of the birds will be laying. Trap nets are used thruoot the entire plant, thus giving the owner an opportunity to keep an accurate record on every bird. As the pullet, or hen, is taken from its nest the record is immediately made upon the chart and in going over the chart in the room occupied by the six month pullets the owner showed us where one of the birds, which first started laying on the first day of the month, was credited with twenty-one eggs, having missed but three days. Material used in the construction of the building is of such a type as to make the structure absolutely frost proof. In fact, the place can be kept comfortably warm, even during the coldest days of winter, without the aid of artificial heat. The ventilation system is perfect, while the equipment thruout is of the very latest known to the poultry world. Altho the owner does not propose to go into the business on an elaborate scale, he also raises some pigeons of the very highest breed. The pen for these pets is located just above the office quartefs and contains prize winning birds that have been exhibited at various shows thruout the country. Mr. .Steilen is now planning on sending aif exhibit to an Eastern show which is to be held soon. More than 15,000 baby chicks were raised and sold by the owner last spring and, according to present plans, the incubators will be started early next year with the hope of turning out baby chicks at the rate of 800 per day. Daily shipments of eggs are made to the Chicago market and even with moat of the 700 pullets and hois laying it is very doubtful if be can begin to fill the demand. The owner of the farm is a great lover of poultry, understands the business thoroly and takes great pride seeing that his flock is given the proper care. .He grows his own green wheat right in the plant and feeds nothing but the very best of food. Mr. Steilen extends a cordial invitation to anyone interested to visit his plant on any afternoon, when he will be pleased to show you thru and explain the modern way of chicken raising. He also has the agency for the Jamesway poultry house equipment, which he Is advertising elsehere in this week's issue of The laindealer. Look for it. > . George W. Koeth, Jr., proprietor of at Fee Lake, together with bis parents, was made defendant in a temporary injunction granted in the Lake county circuit court by Jtdfe Edwards at Waukegan last Friday morning. The parents of the young man app the owners of the property. An ell injunction against the same defendants was dismissed on request of State's Attorney A. V. Smith. The new injunction was granted upon affidavits presented by the prosecution from two federal agents who visited place early this month and whiskey at 75 Haa Purchased Bakery John F. Miller, proprietor of the Rosed ale greenhouses, is now the owner of the building in Centerville which houses the McHenry bakery and E. M.

XCGOUSY SE1K£ • RIGHT Wlilll fCfeontrstururctt Home Here to Prove the Value of His New Iavention-~ Claims It a Saving F. A. Cooley of this village has joined the ranks of inventofs and is now seeking the patent rights on a building block invented by him a short time ago. The new idea in building construction represents more than a year's study and hard work on the part of the inventor. A model of the block as it appears in a completed wall has been erected in the garage at the Cooley home on Waukegan street and those who have been privileged to inspect same have been very favorably impressed with lb The inventor himself is so thoroly convinced of its possibilities that he has already started excavation on Waukegan street for a new home to be constructed from these blocks and within the course of the next few months the people of McHenry will be given an opportunity to see Just what can be accomplished by their use. According to the inventor his new idea in building construction is so arranged as to require a minimum cost to produce the parts and material as well as requiring a minimum of time and expense in the erection oL same. The blocks can be made up in any size desired, altho the model used at his garage is of a four inch'and, according to present plans, this is the size to be used in the construction of his new home. In other words, the blocks will give him a four inch wall. The model wall is so constructed as to give same a shingle finish effect, altho the block may be laid to suit the fancy of the builder. The same may also apply to the {Minting of same. The outside of the block may be handpainted or dipped, while the inner walls are susceptable to any sort of finish desired The blocks are intended to do away entirely with plastering. In order to give one an idea of the possibilities of the interior finish or decoration several different colors have been used on the model, and in order to fully appreciate the new invention one must see it. Anyone interested will be shown the model by the owner. In his petition for the patent rights Mr. Cooley sets forth twenty-five distinct claims and he is not worried in the least that the rights will not be granted. After viewing the new patent one immediately becomes interested in it and those who have seen the model will now anxiously await the completion of the new bungalow. Frank Hughes In Chicago Hospital Frank Hughes of this village, an employe of the A. T. & T. Co., went to Chicago last Friday, where he entered the Presbyterian hospital and underwent an operation on his knee, which he injured while working on his car over two months ago. For awhile following the injury Mr. Hughes was able to navigate only with the aid of crutches and when the injury failed to mend as rapidly as it should the operation was suggested. All expenses are paid by an insurance company in which the A. T. A T. Co. has all of its employes insured. WonJ from the hospital is to the effect that the operation from aH appearances has proven entirely successful and that the patient will be able to return home shortly. To Improve Interior of Store Jacob Justen, the hustling Centerville furniture dealer and funeral director, is planning quite extensive improvements on the interior of his store. In fact, work on the changes to be made has already been started in the hope that all alterations will have been completed before the holiday buying season starts. A rearrangement of the electric lighting system as well as redecorating of the entire interior are among the improvements contemplated. Some of the shelving is to be removed entirely, while new will be added. Further improvements are also planned for the spring. First V scat km In Ten Years Buff" Feltz of this village, foreman over the men working on the big pressing machine at the Terra Cotta factory, is enjoying a vacation from his duties this week, being the first vacation for him in about ten years. Mr. Feltz has proven ^ very valued employe for the company and has missed very few days during the years that he has been on the plant's pay roll. Needless to say that he is enjoying every minute of bis week of grace.' _ New England Supper The Ladies' Aid society of the M.

Schmitt, located near the little chapel on the Johnsburg-Spring Grove road last Saturday morning, Joseph Schmitt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schmitt, got his left hand caught in the working parts of the machinery and before the machine could be brought to a stop the member was so badly torn and mangled that amputation was found necessary. The accident occurred about nine o clock in the morning and it was several minutes before fellow workmen were able to extricate the young man's arm from the machine. He was immediately rushed to the office of Dr. Arnold Mueller at Johnsburg and, after having been given first aid, was rushed to the Woodstock hospital, where it found that the arm could not' be saved, it being found necessary to amputate the member just below the elbow. He remained at the Woodstock institution until Tuesday of this week, when he was removed to his home at Johnsburg, and where he is now said to be getting along as well as could be expected considering the seriousness of the injury. MEETING OF HQME BUREAU Held at Home of Mrs. Jack Walah Wedneeday Afteni^a Fifteen enthusiastic members of the Home Bureau met at the home of Mrs. Jack Walsh on Main street on Wednesday afternoon of this week.

Two Changes In Time Card Two changes in the departure of trains from the McHenry station became effective on Monday morning of this week. The early morning, or milk train as it is more commonly knowp, now leaves this station at 6:36 instead of 7:10, while tile Chicago passenger has Tesumed its winter schedule, leaving this station at 8:19. Owing to the change in the milk train schedule our morning mail does not arrive until 8:19.

Wattles of this village lost his light to maintain a fence across Third street, south of John street on the West Side. The case was opened a few years ago and had its first hearing before Atty. E. H. Waite of Woodstock, who at the time occupied the office of master in chancery. Judge Waite's decision was in favor of the Ullage of McHenry, et al. It will be remembered that the village at the time displayed very little inclination to prosecute the case, which was then taken up by James Revor. Mr. Wattles, thru his attorney, appealed the case to the McHenry county court, where the master's decision was reversed. The appellate court has now reversed the county court's findings. In view of the fact that many of our readers are interested we herewith reproduce Chief Justice Thompson's opinion in its entirety as delivered to the court: In 1859..George Gage, who was the owner of certain lands in McHenry county, caused a portion of these lands to be platted and caused the plat to be recorded as a plat of West McHenry. In 1872 the village of McHenry was duly incorporated,. the lands theretofore platted as West McHenry being included within the corporate limits of said village. Since'the incorporation of the village the principal streets and alleys designated on the plat have been improved and maintained by the village authorities and all conveyances and assessments of property within the village have been made in accordance with said plat. The land involved in this litigation is that part of a strip of land 47.5 feet wide, designated on the plat as Third street, extending south from John street between blocks 1Q and 11. In 1904 appellant Susie Revor purchased from the trustees of schools lot 3 in block 10. This is a double lot, occu pying the northwest quarter of the block and which prior ~ to this time had been used as a school site. In 1900 Alsena Smith and Georgia Clemens by mesne conveyances became the owners of certain of these platted lands theretofore owned by their father, George Gage, including lots 4 and 5 in block 10 and all of block 11. In 1901 they sold lots 4 and 5 to Susie Revor, the description in the deed being as follows: "Lots numbered four (4) and five (5) in block numbered ten (10), as appears on the original plat of the village of West McHenry, situated in the county of McHenry and State of Illinois." These lots > lie immediately south of lot 3 and front on James street, which is a street immediately south and parallel to John street. In 1916 Alsena Smith and Georgia Clemens conveyed to appellee, Frank H. Wattles, "all of block No. eleven (11) of the original plat of the village of West McHenry" and other lands lying south of this block, amounting in all to more than fifty acres. The property conveyed to Wattles was used as pasture land and the streets and alleys had never been opened and improved by the village authorities. John street is an improved street running east and west along the north side of blocks 10 and 11. Third street is a north and south street, which is improved and built up on both sides from John street north. South of John street it has never been improved and has not been generally used by the public for travel. In 1908 Susie Revor and her husband moved into the residence on lot 3 and since that time have occupied lots 3, 4 and 5 as a homestead. After purchasing block 11 and the other lands in 1916 appellee erected a barn and fenced the lands so that they might be used for a stock farm. In April, 1917, he constructed a new wire fence along the lot line on the west side of block 10 and from the northwist corner of block 10 westerly across Third street along the south line of John street, thus preventing the Revors and the public from using Third street. In August, 1917, Revor tore down that part of the fence built along his wife's property and across Third street and threw the posts and wire on appellee's land. Thereupon appellee filed his bill in the circuit court of McHenry county, making the village of McHenry and the Revors defendants, and asking that an injunction be issued restraining them from attempting to open said street and from interference with appellee in the building of a fence inclosing that part of Third street in dispute and from in any way interfering with his control and possession of said FISHING CASE DISMISSED Blakealey Brothers Re-arrested Here Saturday AfternooiiC^ The Blakesley brothers, were arrested here a short time ago charged with fishing from the Fox river dam as well as resisting arrest, accompanied by theii attorney and several witnesses, appeared for trial at the village hall here last Saturday afternoon, but to their surprise as well as to a number of court fans who had gathered to listen to the proceedings, Warden John Engein asked that the case be dismissed. His request was^granted by Justice Wm. J. Welch, before whom the case was to have been heard after two continuances. Shortly afteV the case had been dismissed the men were again placed under arrest by Sheriff Roy Stewar^ of Woodstock. They were placed under a $1,000 bond each, which they signed themselves, and then allowed their freedom. The case is now set to come before Judge C. P. Barnes in the McHenry county court at Woodstock. The date of the hearing has been set for Monday, Nov. 13. The case has brought about no small amount of interest thruout this vicinity and it is certain that a number from here will make the trip to the county seat when same is called on the above mentioned date. Atty. Frank McCarthy of Elgin appeared afe the defendants' attorney last Saturday and among the witnesses were a number of quite prominent men from the Watch city.
