The meeting was held at the East Aurora high Bchool, beginning at one olfelock under the auspices of the AUrora Chamber of Commerce. Delegations from all parts of Northeastern Inlnois were present, including more titan a thousand people from McHenry cflinty. J3o much Interest had been excited i| the meeting by intensive efforts in counties represented, many business bouses were closed in villages so tl*t communities might trek en masse to Aurora. By noon over three thou - «|n<* bad made the pilgrimage and kindreds of cars were still coming. ^Representatives from five counties, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, McHenry and Grundy counties, all of whom will be dj^ectly benefited by the roads in question, were introduced by Howard Bbshnell, chairman of the good roads committee of the Chamber of Commerce through whose efforts the meeting, called the biggest ever held in the state, was organized. The governor's staff, office holders and highway department officials also spoke on the platform in the interests of the good road program. During a briei address by Representative F. A. McCarthy of Elgin he called on all from McHenry county present to stand up. It seeinpfU aa. tf ; ttftlf tire audience responded • Public Hearing j Immediately following the general ipsslon a public hearing on the three jNDutes wasxheld by Frank T. Sheets, -state superintendent of highays, with delegates from different sections touched by the proposed routes making the requests of their constituents ae to the location of the roads. That the roads will be started almost immediately was the virtual promise of the state officials^ The representatives agreed with highway officials that dis- FIRE DESTROYS BIG BARN ON DEGEN FARM tJiifteits, Including Sixteen Cows and Four Horses, Consumed By Flames The large barn with all its contents on the farm owned by Henry Degeq was completely destroyed by fire last Wednsday night. The farm, which is better known as the William Hutson farm, is located about three miles west of McHenry and is occupiejl by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Herdrich and .family. The fire Was discovered about 1 o'clock Wednesday night by Mrs. Herdrich, who awoke and saw the flames reflected in the house. Thinking the light was possibly caused by the stove in the living room she investigated, when she saw the barn in flames. Neighbors and help soon arrived but the blaze had gained such headway that the workers could do nothing to save the building or any 6f its contents, but turned their attention to the work of saving the house and other buildings which were in danger. The fire truck from McHenry was summoned and assisted in saving the other buildings on the place. The barn was full of hay and corn fodder and all kinds of feed, including about 1,000 bushels of grain' as well as ground feed. Sixteen cows and four horses were also in the barn and were burned along with everything else. The fire had gained such headway before it was discovered that no rescue work could be done and all hope of saving the livestock was Abandoned. The origin of the fire, which caused a loss of several thousands of dollars, is not known and no amount of conjecture can disclose any reason for the outbreak of the fire at that hour of the night. Although the loss was partly covered by insurance it comes as a great shock to the tenant, Emil Herdrich, who has recently started farming, and who was ill and confined to the house at the time of the fire.

Every game had been lost up to this time, Hebron beating us by a score of 14 to 21 on their own floor. The boys of the Orange and Black were determined to win this game and did. The boys in the following lineup played some extra good basketball: Barbian, rf; Frett, If; Dowell, c; Harrison, rg; Miller, lg; subs, Thurlwell, Schroeder and Vycital. As the first quarter opened it was evident that the game was to be a fast one. Barbian dropped in a free throw and a basket and Hebron duplicated. The first quarter ended in a tie 3 to 3. During the second quarter Barbian dropped in two neat shots and Harrison a clean throw from center. Hebron made one basket and a free throw during the half. This brotkght the score up to 6 to 9 at half time. The boys started the second half determined to give Hebron a good trouncing. The second half was even faster than the first. Barbian dropped in |yro goals and one free throw. Frett put in a neat goal and a free throw. Dowell dropped in a clean shot from the free throw line. Reliable Harrison shot two neat free throws.

Lumley caused some excitement in the circuit court room Monday morning when he charged the grand jury with looking into the childhood conditions now existing in McHenry county. Prosecutor Lumley insinuated that-it was the duty of the grand jury to investigate the matter as many complaints have been sent to him since he has been appoint ed state's attorney. Road houses, dance halls and other places have contributed considerably to the downfall of young girls, stated Mr. Lumley. "It is not only the duty of you men as grand jurors to look into this matter, but also the duty of parents and officers of the law to help better conditions in the county,w stat ed the new appointed state's attorney. That conditions not a credit to the county have existed in several localities in the county, pertaining to young girls, but have not been brought to the attention of the public through the press or court, have been evkfautfc for some time.

Preparatory Work Has Started Fori Two Musical Plays To Be I Given Next Month V j The pupils of the grade school will give an entertainment on February 21 for which practice has already begun. This is the frrst time in three years or more that an entertainment has been put on by the grade school and that it will be met with enthusiasm is an assured fact. The prepare tory work for the entertainment started this week and the selection of the different parts is now under way. A full east of characters will be announced at a later date as soon as completed. The evening's entertainment will consist of a musical comedy entitled "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," which will be given by the older pupils while the first five grades will put on a musical sketch entitled "The Kitchen Clock." The first mentioned play consists of two acts with a prologue and epilogue and is founded on the story of the Arabian Nights. The scene of Act 1 is laid in a forest outside the city of Bagdad and Act 2 takes place in Ali Baba's house. In the forest outside the city of Bagdad a band of robbers has discovered that someone has entered their magic cave and robbed them of their plunder and the play develops, weaving its story about the guard in the former games but was. the jury.

On Dec. 10 his place of business was entered and about $l,70a worth of clothing stolen. The place was again visited some time during the night of Sunday, Jan. 8, and the thieves got away with thirty-three suits, sixteen overcoats, besides some silk hose, handkerchiefs, etc. The first time entrance was gained through a window at the rear of the building. Since that time bars have been placed over all rear windows. Sunday night the thieves were more bold and one made his way through a transom over the front door, measuring only twelve inches high.
