The streets of Hebron have been scarified and are again in fine condition. • Burglars entered a new garage - building: under construction for Ffty Srandstetter at Grayslake one night '•>|ast week and escaped with about $200 '.'tororth of tools and a storage battery. The Lake county sheriff's office has * fnade 1542 arrests, thirty-seven of which were convicted as beer runners, and a total of $10,310 was collected in fines during" the four months ending Sept. 1. Dr. M. D. Brooks, Hebron veterinarian, was quite painfully bitten by a cow when his hand slipped while folding the animal's tongue. Two of liis fingers were caught between the cow's grinders. The Gem moving picture theatre, operated at Crystal Lake by Mrs. • Margaret Gracy, is about to install a new pipe organ of the same type now in use at the Rialto at Elgin. The new instrument will be dedicated on Sept. 23 and 24. Andrew J. Grom an<^ Jerry Nemac Were fined $500 and costs each when arraigned in the McHenry county circuit court last week on charges of beer running. The case of Jerry Stefek, arrested on a similar charge, was continued until Sept. 22. The Zenith radio corporation, in their attempt to erect their broadcasting station WJAZ in some town or city outside of Chicago, but within 100 miles of the Illinois metropolis, is to test Lake Geneva, Wis., as to the latter's desirability for the location. The annual Richmond-Burton community fair will take place at Richmond on Friday and" Saturday, Oct. 3 and 4. On Friday the music will be furnished by the community ,, high fchool orchestra of Richmond, while the Hebron band will play on Saturday. The Express Body corporation, which operates a factory at Crystal Lake, is erecting a two hundred foot Warehouse near its plant there. The corporation has recently added a new line, radio cabinets, and, according to prospects, it looks as if the factory will do some business along this line. Plans for the construction of a new poor farm over in Lake county at an estimated cost of $239,136 were accepted by the. members of the board <• of supervisors at Waukegan last Thursday, which means that a bond --issue of $250,000 will be submitted to the voters of that county at the November election. Thru the efforts of the Community club of that village, the public park at Grayslake is to undergo quite extensive improvements. Forty-five trees and five stumps are to be removed, all of the tract is to be plowed up, leveled off and then seeded down with Lincoln park special grass seed. Next spring benches will be installed. The park, in another season, should present a decidedly improved condition. The Crystal Lake Country club has inaugurated a membership drive in the hope that 100 memberships may be sold between Sept. 8 and Nov. 29. Canvassing teams have been formed among the present membership and many prizes have been hung up to induce these men to set forth their best efforts in order that the desired results may be obtained. The memberships are selling at $300 each and just as soon as the alottment has been sold the memberfhjp fee is automatically incftased to $400. Beer dumping by officials has become quit? the general thing in McHenry and Lake counties. Only a few weeks ago a large quantity of beer, wine and ' moonshine" was dumped into the city sewer at Woodstock, while last Friday witnessed the pouring of seventy-five barrels of beer in the city sewer at Waukegan. In spite of the many raids, arrests and convictions in these two counties, bootlegging still continues and probably will continue until such time as our law-> makers show that they are ftally sincere in their enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. The Crystal Lake Community clul) is trying to work out some sort of a plan whereby the night watchman of that city may be signaled in case his services are needed. It has been proj, posed to install a colored light on top of the water tower in that city, which would be operated from the telephone exchange building. The night watchman could be brought to any place in ' .the city within a reasonably short time by calling up the night operator at the local telephone exchange, who in turn would take the party's telephone number and thence turn the Switch to the signal light. The night Watchman could then go to the nearest telephone and there be told just where he was wanted. JOHNSBURG PIANIST MARRIED MISS BARBARA SMITH.

McHENRY LIKES VAUDEVILLE McHenry theatre goers have been takng very kindly to the vaudeville which has been put on at the Empire theatre in connection with the pictures on Saturday and Sunday evenings during the past few weeks. Manager Sipith has booked another very good vaudeville number for next Saturday and Sunday and informs us that this arrangement will be kept up just as long as the public shows that they want this sort of entertainment. The vaudeville bookings are being made with artists who travel the big vaudeville circuit and therefore Manager Smith is assured of the best at all times. IN HONOR OF BIRTHDAY Mrs. Edward J. Buss entertained a few friends at her home at a surprise party last evening in honor of Miss Mame Buss, it being the victim's birthday anniversary. The eveningwas passed at bunco, after which a most delicious luncheon was served.

The time and place will be announced later. TRUCK CONCERN SATISFIED TO START OPERATIONS IF PROPER INDUCEMENTS ARE MADE During the past week representatives of two different manufacturing concerns have visited McHenry with a view of locating their plants in this city and, while matters have not as yet shaped themselves as to enable us to give out readers something definite, it does look at this time as if at least one of these two concerns can be secured for our city. At a public mass meeting held at the K. of C. hall~fast Thursday evening a delegation, headed by a Mr. Anderson and representing the Universal Truck Manufacturing company of Chicago, was present. The meeting was called to order by George Bohr, president of the Community club, who named Simon Stoffel as chairman of the gathering. Mr. Stoffel, in his usual courteous and progressive manner, after briefly explaining the purpose of the meeting, introduced Mr. Anderson as the man who would explain the truck concern's proposition. Mr. Anderson informed the gathering that his company was engaged in the manufacture of a truck chassis. His company, he went on to say, had purchased the stock and equipment formerly owned by the manufacturers of the Master truck in Chicago. Their company-is now engaged in the manufacture of a truck chassis, the motive power of which is being supplied by the installation of a Fordson tractor motor. The entire Job is being produced to sell at a figure far below that of other trucks of like capacity and already indications point that within a short time these trucks will be turned out in goodly numbers. The speaker carried with him a nbmber of photographs of their present quarters in Chicago, which were passed among the men gathered. He also had with him two miniature models of the trucks together with the Fordson motor as it is installed. One of the company's sales manager also told of how the agencies were being established. A number of these agencies, according to this speaker, had already been signed up, while others were being brought in right along. The use of the Fordson tractor engine as the motive power naturally would make every Ford dealer in this and other countries a serviee station and this fact alone, he ventured to say, would prove a very good argument for the sales department. The company, the assemblage was told, would be willing to come to McHenry provided a suitable building was furnished and the assurance given that at least $10,000 worth of securties could be "sold here. McHenry has but one building to offer at this time and when the representatives were told of the old creamery building they made it known that these quarters would be large enough for the start. Ajt least it would answer the purpose a short time, during which the company stood ready to demonstrate just what they were doing and what their future prospects would be. A. S. Parks, the present owner of this building, was present at the meeting and expressed himself as willing to turn over the use of this property should McHenry decide that they wanted the factory. Peter W. Frett, who in a'maimer was responsible for the calling of the meeting and upon whose invitation the gentlemen were kind enough to come to McHenry, asked that he and others interested in bringing new industries to McHenry be given more time to investigate and ascertain whether or not the money can be raised, after which a definite answer to the proposal will be forwarded. The visitors left for • Chicago via automobile immediately after the close of the meeting, which was followed by a general discussion of the proposition by those who remained. Marathan Underwear Company The second proposition as made to McHenry for the location of a new industry cajne thru Mr. Nathan, who is head of the Marathan Underwear company, now engaged in the manufacture of men's athlete underwear fat Chicago. Mr. Nathan visited McHenry last Friday afternoon, at which time he was taken over the ci^y and shown some of the buildings that are now available for manufacturing purposes, included among which was the creamery building. The Marathan concern is now manufacturing garments for some of the larger stores and mail order houses located in Chicago, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and New York city. The Chicago plant's equipment consists of 125 sewing machines, amoifg other machinery, by which it may be seen that at least that many women and girls are employed when running at full capacity. Mr. Nathan's company is asking for COUNCIL BUYS FIRE TRUCK OBENCHAIN-BOYER OUTFIT BE BROUGHT HERE TO The members of the McHenry city council in special session last evening purchased a fire truck, which will be delivered to the city in forty-five days. The outfit selected is one known as the commerce model 25, manufactured by the Obenchain-Boyer company of Logansport, Ind. The outfit consists of all the standard equipment, which includes, besides the truck itself, a booster pump, chemical tanks; ladders and hose. The price to be paid is $6,970. According to the contract the city is given three years in which to pay for the outfit. Hettermann Bros, of Johnsburg have the agency for the truck proper and this fact was probably taken into consideration by the board members before making the final decision last night. The Johnsburg agents, it was reckoned, would carry a full line of repairs for the machine and therefore would be in a position to give very prompt service in cases of emergency. Those who are familiar with fire trucks and equipment inform us that the city council has acted very wisely in selecting the dbenchain-Boyer truck, which is certain to give McHenry good service for many gears to come. Upon delivery of the truck and for the present, at least, the outfit will'be stored in the rear of the city hall. LAD KILLED BY AUTO SAD TRAGEDY OCCURRED NORTH OF THIS CITY EIGHT YEAR OLD SON OF MR. AND MRS. JOS. SCHMITT IS VICTIM OF CRASH APPOINTED TO CHAIR OF SURGERY IN EDINBURGH A most unfortunate and particularly sad automobile fatality occurred in front of the farm home of John Smith on the McHenry-Johnsburg road about four o'clock last Thursday afternoon when a Buick touring car, driven by Jack Ahrends, a Fox Lake taxi driver, struck and killed Elmer S. Smith, eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs Joseph Smith, who reside on the Fred W. Huemann farm about a quarter of a mile east of the scene of the sorrowful accident. The Huemann farm home stands a considerable stretch off the main highway and is reached by a private road thru the farm. The little victim, in company with his cousin, Walter Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, in front of whose home the lad met his death, was on his way home from the Johnsburg parochial school. On reaching a point near the creek bridge, less than a half mile from their destination, the two lads were picked up by Mrs. Geo. Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller who have a summer home at Pistakee Bay. The two lads, apparently happy at their opportunity for a ride, accepted Mrs. Nelson's invitation and climbed into the machine. Within a very short time the Smith j farm home was reached. Mrs. Nelsoh Curr, local music in- stopped "her car and discharged her just received word j happy little passengers. The John Smith home is on the west side of the road, so naturally Mrs. Nelson pulled up to that side. After the two lads had left the machine Walter started towards his house, While Elmer, after "tagging" his little cousin, started running around the back of the Nelsoh car and thence was headed across the street when hejvas struck and killed. The taxi ma A attention was drawn to the unfortunate victim's little sister, Irene, aged ten, who had reached the lane leading to their home where she was standing near the family's mail box awaiting the arrival of her brother. Apparently he did not take notice that the machine on the west side of the road had discharged the two passengers, his entire attention being on the girl. He had "honked" his horn two or three times to give her warning of the danger should she attempt to cross the road. Mrs. Nelson's screams and the honking of the horn on her own car attracted the Fox Lake man's attention in the other direction, but too late to avoid LETTER CARRIER MARRIED RAY PAGE AND MARY F. GOING ARE UNITED IN CHICAGO Miss Maude structress, has to the effect that her cousin, Dr. Percy Wilkie, has just been appointed to the chair of surgery in Edinburgh, Scotland. The doctor has been quite a prominent surgeon in his native country for some time past and the distinction and honor thus accorded him at Edinburgh comes in recognition of his ability and also his achievements m his profession in recent years. He is known to have performed as high as sixteen operations in a single day. Since his appoint-j merit to the important post he will be relieved of considerable of the hard work to which he has been accustomed in the past as much of his time is now being devoted to lecturing to students. Needless to say that Miss Curr was very much pleased on receiving the letter containing the above information. * ANTHONYOERTEL INJURED «N AUTOMOBILE COLLISION A wedding that came as a very pleasant surprise ' to their many friends thruout this community was solemnized by Rev. James S. Ainslie at the Argyle Community church, 5018 Kenmore avenue, Chicago, at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, Sept. 10. The principals of this happy event were Miss Mary F., Going, youngest daughter of Mrs. Tena Going of Chicago, and Mr. Charles Ray Page of this city., The couple left immediately after the ceremony on a motor trip to Wisconsin, where they stopped at Green Bay, Madison and the Dells before their return to McHenry last Monday evening. The bride of this happy union is well and favorably known to many of our young people. The family, it will be remembered, made their home in McHenry for a number of years, but of late they have resided in Chicago, where, during the past few years, Mrs. Page has been employed as stenogiapher, her last position being with the law firm of Mayer, Meyer, Austrian & Piatt, who are located at 208 South LaSalle street. She is a most pleasing young woman of many fine traits of character and her loving disposition has won for her many warm friends both in the city and thruout this community. The groom is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Page. He was born and reared on the old Page homestead on the Crystal Lake-McHenry road, just south of the McHenry city limits, where he has always made his home. He graduated from the McHenry high school with the class of '08. After his graduation he went to work as bookkeeper at the local office of the Borden Milk company.

By immediately applying, . , his breaks (the machine being ! equipped with the four wheel brakes) the driver of the taxi was able to bring his machine to a stop within thirty feet of the spot where the boy was struck, but not soon enough to save the lad's life.

Mr. Ahrends jumped from his seat and ran over to the boy just as he was taking his last breath. The was carried over to the lawn at the home of John Smith. Dr. Mueller of Johnsburg was summoned, but could do nothing as life had been extinct for some minutes before his arrival. After an examintion Dr. Mueller ordered the body to be removed to the home of his parents.

It is indeed pleasing to note that McHenry is at last to have at least a few blocks of modern walks. COUNCIL VOTES COMFORT STATION AT CITY HALL (Continued on last page) At a recent meeting of the McHenry city council it was voted to make certain improvements and install conveniences whereby the city council chamber could also be used as a rest room for visitors. Most cities and towns of the more progressive type have long since had such a station- and the move by the local city administration is only in keeping with actions of neighboring cities and towns. We believe such a station will be used and appreciated by the traveling public. STILL BUILDING ON RIVER Building operations still continue along the Fox river.
