We learn later that it was a young horse that injured Mrs. Harrer. She haclNiever been near it and it getting in the barn was frightened and thought it was cornered. Mrs. Harrer is getting along as well as could be expected. No serious results expected. Ed. WalHs, wife and two little granddaughters, Grace and Virginia, motored over from Woodstock and ate their dinner under the shade of it tree near the old farm the day before the large barn burned. Little they thought it was their last look at the large building. ROAD If&N PROMISE VISIT TO McHENRY Director C. R. Miller and Superintendent Frank Sheets of the Illinois state highway department of Springfield, are scheduled for a visit to McHenry countjr in the near future to go over the road situation here as well as at Crystal Lake. McHenry people as well as the traveling public are quite anxious to see the local situation cleared up and it will be a great disappointment to many hundreds if the state does not decide soon what it intends doing with the McHenry stretch of route 20. That the letting of this stretch should have taken place long ago is the verdict of many of those who have been keeping in ouch with road building in general. Locally the people have long since become tired of this wraiigling over how and where the. road should pass our municipality - and the sooner the state officials get busy the better we will like it. As we see it, there is no cause for worry over the garage situation across from Justen's hotel. If the state sees fit to locate route 20 so that same crosses Fox river at this point, all may rest assured that the department isnt going AL EXCHANGE The Stadebaker light six touring car, which was recently won by the Orphans' Home at Woodstock, was disposed of at public sale a week ago last Saturday night.

No cement has been put down on our rural route 20 as yet, but pipes for water are laid and some connected. Perhaps mixing will commence before snow flies. The hard wind that accompanied the rain the night of Aug. 11 did bad work in orchards. Looks as if more apples were blown off than were left on the trees. Late apples suffered day blocks and blocks of business houses are being moved in order to give that city one more north and south thorofare. The very thought that a little garage (should stop the state of Illinois from locating its cement road route seems absurd. What the people of this community should demand is action on the part of the statifc. We have waited long enough. McHENRY PEOPLE AT AURORA FAIR A number of McHenry people were attracted to the State Line ball park last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, where the second annual mid-summer festival was in session. The exhibits this year were larger and more varied than last, while the display of automobiles and accessories proved quite a drawing card. A number of McHenry dealers had space in the automobile section. > SMALL BASS GETS FISHERMAN IN TROUBLE Game "Warden L. L. Riley of Cuba township has been quite active at Crystal Lake of late, where several arrests for violations of the fish laws have been made. Nick Mulheim of Chicago was recently arrested there on a charge of having an eight inch bass in his possession. He was assessed a fine of $15.00 and costs, the total amounting to $20.00. EXTRAORDINARY SMALL GRAIN YIELD One summer cottage was destroyed fcy fire and two others were badly burned while dozens of others in a thickly settled summer resort region on the east bank of Long lake was visited by a very serious fire Wednesday morning at about ten o'clock. A cottage belonging to a man named Ford of Chicago was burned to the ground and most of its contents .were also destroyed. The loss was about $5,000. On one side of the cottage was the cottage owned by a man named Bradagan. This cottage also caught fire and i loss of about $2,000 was sustained there. One side of the house was burned as well as the roof and some of the furniture was damaged altho most of it was moved out in time. * On the qther side of the Ford cottage was a cottage owned by the Hoffman family, also of Chicago. This cottage was badly burned on one side to allow a jwith a loss of about $2,000. Most of the furniture there also was saved from damage. The fire started in an unknown manner and spread thru the Ford cottage very rapidly. Word was sent to the Fox Lake fire department and inside of twenty minutes the department was on the grounds and did good work in saving the Bradagan and Hoffman cottages as well as preventing the fire from spreading to the other nearby cottages on the lake. This is one of the thickly settled dis- 4ricts in the lake region and had there been a wind blowing there is no telling how much damage would have resulted. As it is the total loss was about $9,000 and would have been a great deal more had the Fox Lake firemen not responded so quickly and "accomplished such good results. They were assisted by many of the resorters living in the vibinity, who formed a bucket brigade and kept the near houses saturated with water so that the sparks flying thru the air did not set them on fire. The whole district was saved thru the fact that as it was a quiet day and little breeze was stirring the firemen were able to keep A. L. Yates, owner of a farm located about five miles northwest of Harvard, had an extraordinarily small grain yield this year. Twentyeight acres produced 1,792 bushels of oats or an average of sixty-four bushels to the acre.
