HEAR HOULIHAN ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED I ORM FOR BUST PEOPLE "Pussyfoot" Johnson, internationally known prohibition advocate, delivered one of his famous lectures at Marengo one,evening recently. There are twenty-three taxpayers at Lake Geneva, Wis., who will this year pay more than $1,000 in taxes. There are also fifty-four Whose taJces amount to $500 and over. Report has it that a Chicago firm has purchased several large tracts of land on Lake Como, near Lake Geneva, Wis., and that these are to be subdivided into lots for summer homes. " The fourth annual winter short course as offered by the agricultural department of the Richmond-Burton high school will take place on the afternoons of the school days during the two weeks starting March 2. While doing construction work on one of the new towers of the Zion radio broadcasting station one day last week, John Arndt fell and fractured both of his legs. He is about forty years of age and came to Zion only a short time ago. His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein, accompanied by Mgrs. B. J. Sheil and D. J. Dunne, expects to leave Chicago next Saturday for Rome and the jubilee year ceremonies. While in Rome the cardinal will make arrangements for the eucharistic congress which will convene at Area, Lake county, next year. Roy Seavey, who conducts an ice and expressing business at Fox Lake, was found not guilty of a larceny charge in the Lake county court at Waukegan last week. Seavey was placed under arrest on complaint of Ray Nordstrom; who charged Seavey with having led his goat astray and refused to return it. Now wouldn't that get anyone's goat? Grayslake may be selected for the location of a new 5,000 watt broadcasting station, WLS, the Sears, Robuck station, which will be erected on a site most favorable for broadcasting. Representatives are now engaged in securing data on several locations and from reports these investigations show that broadcasting conditions at Grayslake are very good. O. A. Stalheim, a farmer residing near Harvard, has eight two-year-olds which produced 9,977.2 pounds of milk and 422.7 pounds of butter in a year. Walcoris Gift Creamelle, believed to be the best two-year-old in the state, alone produced 1,451.6 pounds of milk and 62.6 pounds of butter during that period. Its granddam. Little Gift of Spring Valley, has made several very good records. George Dennison, seventeen-yearold Lake Geneva lad, bears the distinction of having taken the first swim in the lake this year. He took the plunge on the morning of Jan. 18. An open space in the lake where ice cutters had been at work offered him the opportunity to take the swim. The water under the ice is not as cold as it looks, according to Dennison. A car owner residing near Lake Zurick went out to his garage one night last week to drain the gasoline from his machine. To make sure that he had done a good job he lighted a match. By the time that he could fully realize just what had happened the car and garage had gone up in smoke. He himself escaped serious burns or injuries, but the experience was a rather expensive one as the loss totaled more than $2,000. Dairy patrons of the A. J. Olson company at Woodstock have been assured of the $2.40 price for February milk. The company has pledged itself to take 20,000 pounds at this price during the present month. Patrons of the plant have threatened to quit delivery unless the association price was awarded them. They had even gone so far as to rent the Borden factory at Ridgefield, which they proposed to operate as a skimming plant. The Grayslake plant of the Midwest Dairyiften's company shut down the first of the month, at which time patrons of the place were given the option of becoming can shippers or being released from their contracts. The plant was erected several years ago, but was not used until Jan. 1, 1923. At one time more than 40,000 pounds of milk were handled there daily, but of late the receipts had dwindled down to about 4,000 pounds. Tlie Brook State bank and State Bank of Antioch have consolidated. A new hqme is soon to be erected for the consolidated institutions and, according to plans, the structure will be one of the finest and most modern to be found in any town the s'zp of Antioch in the state. While speaking of Antioch we may add that this hustling village already can boast of one of the most modem towns anywhere and with the acquisition of the new banking house the business section of that village will present a very metropolitan appMiwiM STATE DEPUTY MADE INSPIRING ADDRESS TO KNIGHTS 0 The appearance of State Deputy Edward Houlihan in McHenry list Wednesday evening brought out the largest delegation of Knights of Columbus that has gathered at the' K. of C. hall in a long time. Besides a big turnout of members of the local council, Woodstock and Harvard councils were also well represented at the meeting, which has already gone down in the history of the local body as one of the best ever held here. Edward Houlihan, the speaker of the evening, is considered one of the very best orators within the folds of this organization and his presence at a meeting is always* assurance of a big attendance. On this occasion the speaker told of recent work of the organization and some of the things that are being planned for the future. He told of how the national organization had recently voted $50,000 to be placed at the disposal of disabled war veterans now being cared for at the various hospitals thruout this country. This is money that was collected during the war. The good of this generous donation will be felt by all disabled war veterans regardless of creed. The speaker also told of the work that was being done in the free night schools as are now being conducted by the Knights. These schools are open to everyone and in this respect, he went on to say, many Protestants have been and are almost daily taking advantage of this opportunity offered them in gaining an education along useful lines. Among others who were called upon and responded with short talks were District Deputy Ed. Cooney of Chicago, Atty. Wm. Carroll. of Woodstock and Fathers Nix and Hackett of this city. At the conclusion of the speeches lunch was served. FATHER NELL HEARD ' OYER RADIO LAST FRIDAY Practically every owner of a radio in this community listened in on two very good addresses as delivered by Rev. George Nell of Island Grove, 111., from WLS, the Sears-Roebuck broadcasting station, Chicago, last Friday noon and evening. Father Nell, who was born and raised at Johnsburg and therefore is well and favorably known thruout this community, *has devoted considerable of his time in recent years to the development of what he terms "Play-for-Health." In his own small community he has put this movement into effect with great success and since his activities along this line have now reached a state wide interest he is kept quite busy in answering inquiries as to his plan and just what he has accomplished. While on the "air" last Friday noon and evening the popular pastor gave a most interesting survey as to what can be done along this line of work with very little effort and small cost. He told of having put on two big social gatherings in his own community, one during the summer months and the other during the winter at the small cost of about $20 for each. At the conclusion of his evening talk, special greetings were extended to listeners- in of this community and a "Hello Ma" to his mother, who also was one of the listeners. This is the first opportunity that McHenry radio fans have had of listening to an address over the radio from one of our own citizens and, needless to say, the experience was a novel one and delight to Father Nell's many friends. K. OF C. TO ENTERTAIN AT VALENTINE PARTY The members of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, will entertain the members of Joyce Kilmer court, Daughters of America, at a valentine party to be held at the K. of C. hall on Thursday evening of next week, Feb. 12. This will be the second annual valentine party and a most enjoyable time is anticipated by those who are planning to attend. A short program, during which C. W. Stenger will sing a few verses of How Do You Do as composed by himself, will be given, after which dancing will be enjoyed. The music for the occasion will be furnished by Frank Gans' Polly Prim orchestra. Lunch will be served by the Daughters of America. All K. C. and D. of A. members are invited to be present^' M. E.

The question as to whether or not the state will pay for r?ad built by the city and whether or not the state will maintain same has been discussed frequently since the public hearing here a few weeks ago. Mr. Stoffel has handed us for publication his letter and the reply, which he suggested would probably be of interest to many of our r?sders. The letters: West McHenry, 111., Dec. 26, 1924. Subject--Route 20. Mr. Frank T. Sheets, Supt. Highways, Springfield, 111. Dear Sir--On Monday, Dec. 22, the board of local improvements of the city of McHenry held a hearing on the proposition of paving certain streets, at which it was decided to pave Elm street, and, as I understand, this paving is to be from curb to curb and the statement was made at this hearing that the state highway department would take over the entire pavement on Elm street as part ot state highway No. 20, but no authority was quoted for the statement. As an interested party I asked the president of the board of local improvements if that body had positive assurance from the state highway department that the proposed pavement on Elm street would be taken over by your department as a part of route No, 20 and I got an unsatisfactory answer. Up to the present time this community has had nothing but rumors regarding the location of route 20 thru this city, but if the location of this route thru this city has been definitely decided on the entire community would feel grateful to have it confirmed by your department. Trusting that I may be favored with a reply, I wish to remain, Yours very truly, John Stoffel. Springfield, Feb. 2, 1925. Subject: Design--State bond issue route 20. Location thru McHenry. Mr. John Stoffel, West McHenry, 111. Dear Sir--Yours of the 26th ultimo, addressed to Mr. Sheets, has been referred to me. You ask regarding the location of route 20 thru the city of McHenry and also whether or not the state will take over this street for maintenance. I am enclosing herewith a copy of the final decision made by this department regarding the location of route 20 thru McHenry. This decision is dated Dec. 12, 1923, and was made after a detailed investigation of all possible routes. The only thing that is holding up construction on this location is the fact that the right of way is not all clear, particularly that portion required from Mr. Sohm, which is now in the court. If this case could be disposed of and all of the right r.f way cleared up this department would be in position to proceed immediately with contracts for the balance of the work thru the city, including the new Fox river bridge. In regard to the maintenance of the pavement on Elm street, I presume that you are referring to an existing pavement. If this is the. case, the state would have no legal right to take over the same for maintenance. If you are referring, however, to new construction the law provides for a cooperative method by which the state and any city or village can construct a pavement of greater width than the width constructed by the state. The state in that case would pay for IS feet of pavement, which is the same width as is constructed outside the limits of the city and the city woul pay for the balance. Afer the com pletion of the work, however, the maintenance would fall upon the city, because there is no provision in the law which would permit .the state to maintain a city pavement on the state bond issue system. Trusting that this answers year Inquiry, I am, ' Yours very truly, . tLE. Surman, Eng. of Design. 1 Bond Issue Route 20 Woodstock-Waukegan Location Adjacent to and thru the Village of McHenry. Whereas, the department of public works and buildings, on Nov. 19, 1921, after a public hearing held at Chicago on July 29, 1921, announced its preference as to the location of state bond issue route No. 20 between Woodstock and Waukegan and in accordance therewith published a description of the preferred route, and Whereas, said published description stated that said bond issue route No. ^ TO THE PUBLIC ; s, Again and again we find tkfit* some adult has given a boy or girl in our school intoxicating liquor. Even tho this may occur entirely out of school hours or on non-school days, it is a practice which we condemn with all of our energy. Signed, C. H. Duker. D.0F A.

The Troubadours' programs feature vocal numbers, including solo and ensemble character songs, also cornet and violin solos and violin-cornet-piano trios. Their musical selections are both classical and popular. Seldom does a male quartet present an entertainment of such wide variety as the Troubadours and at the same time render skillfully and artistically every number on the program.

It is the plan to engage the same team which represented McHenry on the baseball diamond last season and, while there is a possibility of losing one or two of the boys on account of having signed up with league teams, Giles Kingsley of Waukegan, who managed the dub last year, believes that he will be able to assemble just as strong a club as that of last year's. It has been suggested to hold an indoor carnival and in this manner raise the necessary funds. This proposition as Veil as others will be brought before the meeting this evening.

'• gas, are considered the equivalent tf§£%$ chemical tanks." The chances of be» . ing able to continuously refill the < J water tank, or to feed the pump by dU ;1,i rect suction, would justify classifying % < v the water tank and pump type o|; apparatus as equivalent to a double, tank chemical engine, if a supply o£ V water is available. ' •% We know of no comparative which have been made between equip* „ ment provided with a water tank pump, and one provided with chemical tanks. The operation of a ehemiea£;: Vi tank generates carbonic acid ga% which, in itself, is an extinguishin4^;,<^| agent. This gas, however, is mainly - the propelling force and little of it ii carried'with the stream to the seat of , \ ( the fire.

Dear Sir--Replying to your favor the first inst., would say that appaC* •• ently you have been misinformed as tn the relative merits of chemical extinguishers and water. In the acid soda machine the chemical itself has nothing to do with the extinguishing of a fire. The acid and soda merely react to form carbon dioxide gas, which causes pressure in the tank and forces the solution out. It is ridiculous for any one to make a statement that 2 40-gallon chomical tanks are equivalent of 560 gallons of W the information that these sales are is trying to pure ase e under the auspices of some American! known as the Bis op es ,. .
