Carters 1925 High Speed Melodrama with VAUDEVILLE AND COMEDY ROUTE 22 THROUGH ALGONQUIN OPEN « • Route 22 through Algonqtlin was opened to the public Saturday, Octoberl7. This road has been open except a small stretch north of Algonquin for some time, but with the opening of the last mile to the public, travel from Woodstock to Elgin entirely over pavement is completed. This is a long looked for event. Elgin merchants especially have been waiting in the belief that business from the burgs in McHenry county has been held up on account of the roads, and already the Elgin newspapers are selling advertising to thenmerchants which is intended to reach out and grab the rich rural community and city trade from McHenry county. Cement roads are a great convenience to the public. They annihilate distance. It is no farther now from Woodstock to Elgin by automobile than it formerly was by wagon from Greenwood to Woodstock. The alluring bargain pages of the big stores in the larger cities are business pullers and many people are slow to realize that all is not gold that glitters. The new cement road runs both* ways. McHenry county merchants should remember that fact, but if they do not awaken to the situation they will find their trade slipping away from them. The same methods which will pull business out of the county should be applied to hold the trade at home Adequate stocks, attractive prices and liberal advertising are these methods. There is no secret combination for bringing business to your town or to your store. It is the old, old story and the cement roads will run both ways if the Merchants in McHenry county will do their part to keep them thus. The rich rade of the prosperous and happy people of McHenry county is the stake which will now be fought for. It belongs to the merchants of McHenry county. Will they keep it? The fight is on.--Woodstock Sentinel. AUCTION GEORGE VOGEL, Auctioneer Having decided to quit farming and Grandma Obeyed Orders . By JACK WOODFORD N <©, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) O ONE In the village was aver able to explain Just why Abe Mincer was so fond of Grandmother Plumb. Surely there was no logical accounting for it. Grandmother Plumb's cottage was In the center of a row of ' latter-day, tumbledown Shacks. Well, Abe Mincer owned the shack next door, and Abe Mincer was the Junk man. When Grandma Plumb's grandson. Harvey, had come home from Chicago-- to die of consumption--Abe Mincer had surreptitiously gone to Edlinger's drug store at ; the .corner and placed a casli deposit to cover any medicines' Grandmother Plumb might need. "For why?" he had Said, blinklngly. when questioned upon the subject by the irreverent and totally misunderstanding drug clerk. "For why do I do it--veil, how do I know? I gotta I" Grandmother Plumb had gotten herself In pretty deep with the undertaker, and the florist; and even owed the minister for his part In the funeral. f The grandson's last act had been to obtain--no one ever knew how--a battered old touring car which he had suddenly appeared in town with one day, after several days' absence. His passing left Grandmother Plumb in sole and undisputed possession of the junk car. One morning, as Atre^was hitching up his mournful horse to\hls creaky wagon, Grandmother Plumb's head appeared over the fence. "Good morning, Abe," said Grandma Plumb, resplendent In a nice lace cap. "You are a business man, Mr. Mincer," went on Grandmother Plumb briskly. "It Is on a business proposition that I want to speak to you." "Veil, mum, if der is anything what I kin do--" "I've decided to dispose of Harvey's car," confided Grandmother Plumb. "Veil, Missus Plumb, I tink I kin gif you--" "You'll not give me a cent!" interrupted the little old lady. "You'd be sure to give me more than it Is worth, you rogue; I'm going to sell It to strangers. You see, I owe you about fifty dollars, and the florist about twenty-tive; the undertaker's bill was two hundred, the doctor's a hundred, and other Items will come to two or thr< e hundred all together; do you think--" Abe eyed the old lady sadly for a long time. His mind's eye erased the barn wall directly before him, on Grandmother Plumb's property, and he saw the battered old 1918 model. It would be a miracle if she got fifty dollars for it. For a long time Abe stood eyeing the lady before him reflectively. "Veil, I tell you, Missus Pluml*? you lo zhust what I say, and I'll positively ipiarautee that you get for your egszellent car at least vun tousand dollars.

She was a member of St. Mary's church, St. Mary's Young Ladies' Sodality, and the Lucky Dozen club. She is survived by her mother, father and brother, Richard. -- ^ Jury Returns Verdict of Death Which May Have Been Accidental The following account of the death of Miss Marie Catherine Kennealy is reprinted from the Elgin Daily Courier of Saturday, October 17. Miss Kennealy has many relatives in the McHenry territory. Miss Marie Catherine Kennealy, 28, was found dead in the pantry of her parents' home at 442 Ashland avenue early this morning by her fathef, T. M. Kennealy, Her throat had been ••ut by a razor. At the inquest today the coroner's jury returned a verdict stating that death "May have been accidental". y " Miss Kennealy, who "only recently had recovered from a nervous ailment, was to have started to work at the Illinois Watch Case company his morning. Because of her illness •she had not been working since last February. - ^ Kennealy was the principal witness at the inquest. He testified he was awakened at 4 o'clock this morning by i noise that seemed to come from the j r>antry. He went to investigate, and Cound his daughter lying on the floor, face down. His straight edfee razor vas on the floor neat the body, its handle broken. The girl's jugular vein had been severed, and the body apparently was lifeless. Kennealy declared he was convinced that death was accidental, and he scouted a suicide theory. According to his version, the girl had gone to the pantry to get his razor to cut i corn on he# toe. With the razor in her right hand, she stumbled, and in falling her elbow struck .a, sewing machine, causing the blade to strike the right side of her throat. The bro- j ken handle of the razor supported I this theory, he declared. | Dr. F. C. Schurmeier, who was call- j 3d to the home, testified that when h< arrived there, at o'clock, the girl j apparently had been dead for about j 15 minutes. He declined to express j an opinion as to whether death was j suicidal or accidental. ! Dr. Schurmeier said he had been: treating Miss Kennealy for severalj months. At times she appeared de pressed and worried, he testified. Until last February she was employed at the Armour Grain company in Chicago as a stenographer. At that time she returned home to rest. During the 'ast month she had appeared brighter j and happier than usual, Dr. Schur- j meier said.

"Egzactly, Missus Plumb--Wednesday you vlll half peoble after the car --but don't let dem touch It--you understandt?" Grandmother Plumb noded and Abe drove off toward the business section of the city. The morning of the second day after this Incident, Grandmother Plumb was besieged wfth several men whom she knew by sight as living around town all their lives. They wanted to buy the car, and there was no difficulty In keeping them from touching it; they didn't even want to look at it; their only anxiety was to get Grandmother Plumb to take their money and deliver up the car. They bid against each other hysterically and graudmother finally sold It to one of them for fifteen hundred dollars because he had the cash with him. That evening, when Abe drove home, he came over to the fence and called to Grandmother Plumb. "Veil, Missus Plumb, did you sell the car?" "Yes, thank you," replied grandmother, from her kitchen window, "I got a very fair price for It, thanks to you." Abe Mincer smiled inwardly, and outwardly, and kept smiling and mumbling to himself and glancing at grandmother's windows as he unhitched his horse. When he went into his house he took from beneath his coat a 'copy of a paper issued In a nearby town; a pgper which, he knew, circulated among the sporting element In the town, the ver^ ones with whom Harvey had associated, and who would remember the car. He turned to an inside page and read the ad, which he had caused to be inserted: | "Stolen, a few months ago, large touring car with tvhlte markings around edges of mud guards.
