Those who did tttrti out enjoyed a most pleasant afternoon. One of the biff attractions of the occasion was a baseball game between the German and Irish members of the McHenry council, the sons of Ireland winning out 12 to 9 in a six inning battle. M. A. Conway proved himself the real fcero of the day by consenting to umpire the game and, surprising as it may appear, the official came out of the fray uninjured. f After the ball game a number of other athletic contests were indulged in by those assembled. Included among these events were a children's race, girls' race and race for boys. An indoor baseball game concluded the afternoon's sports. Next year the picnic will in all probability be held earlier in the season in the hope that a much larger turnout will be the result. Freshman girls at the Lake Geneva high school have tabood silk stockings and no# wear cotton hosiery. mttmn mmKLBm WEST SIDE BANK TO HAVE NEW TERRA COTTA FRONT A m« term cotta front is soon to adorn the West McHenry State bank building. Work of tearing away the old front was started the first of the week and it is expected that the new work will be completed within the course of a month. The new front is made a necessity on account of the damage suffered thru rains during the past few years. Repairs on the terra cotta were made one or two occasions during the past two years or more, but some how the huge blocks failed to keep out the water, hence the decision of the bank officials to rebuild practically the entire front of the building, which has stood as a distinct monument to that section of our city since its construction several years ago. * The architecture of the new front will be somewhat different from the old, it is stated, and when the job has been completed the structure will represent an even finer appearance than it has in the past. It is expected that the new Elks' building at Woodstock will be ready for occupancy about Nov. 1. The Woodstock lodge is one of, the strongest in this section of the state. h: • DRUG STORE FOR SERVICE If we haven't got what you want, we will get it for you. •rwHEIIUN. H.

According to last week's Hebron .Tribune at least one-half of the people of that village and vicinity were among the spectators who witnessed the work. Sixty candidates were initiated. Just before the ceremonial and initiation took place Rev. Elmer L. Williams of Chicago, who was pastor of the M. E. church at Richmond in 1905, gave an address.

FAJtKKSAB •SM©* The Archibald Darrow farm, located just north of the Glen Flora OWttitry club at WMdipan, m Which was purchased etgfnt years ago' by Judge Claire C. Edwards mdf Atty. E. M. Runyard of that d%, has been sold to James R. Howe, prominent Chicago attorney and rml estate dealer, for $50,000. The new owner, according to advices from ^au]^eal!, is to have the property subdivided. Recently the tract was used as a flying field by the Curtis people. It is expected that lots in. the new subdivision will meet with a ready sale and that the entire tract will be built up with suburban homes. Owing to the location of the large Johns-Mansville company plant as well as others in that section it is predicted that the entire stretfch of country lying just north of the city limits will some day, not far off, be annexed to the city of Waukegan. * " HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT t»UPlLS Altho an instructor has been engaged to teach two years of high schpol work at Lake Villa, the school is without high school students and to fulfill their contract with the instructor the board decided to give him two of the grades. It seems that after the Lake Villa board had engaged the services of said instructor Antioch put on a bus which operates between that village, thru Lake Villa and as far as Grayslake and as a result of this service high school students of that community have this year enrolled at Antioch. According to the Cary team the baseball championship JPUNUy com of tbsl&el ~ Ud metthe Cm* afisisgsrti&i bat once this season, the lattilv wkm believes^ that they are tsiljij to a series of games with the fridiate feelore the championship of the usOBtj can be divided. Cary recently challenged Algonquin for a series of gimes and the latter has accepted. The lone game as staged between the two teams a few weeks ago was won by Algonquin. The first of the championship series will be staged on the Algonquin diamond next Sunday after- ( noon. Two association umpires will officiate and, judging from reports, the coming battles should prove real thrillers. "Buck" Freeman, at one time employed on the pitching staff of the Chicago Cubs, will do the artillery work for Cary, while the Indians will in all probability rely upon Osberg to disA 'em out to the Cary sluggers. The game is attracting considerable attention thruout the entire county and McHenry wiH send a big tipn of fans. NOTICE TO HUNTERS No hunting or shooting is hereafter allowed on the Anton J.
