The city council of Lake Geneva granted eight saloon licenses at a special meeting last week*. The first postal savings hank in the county will be established by Post­ master M. F. Walsh of Harvard July 22. The home of Chris Ahrens, Sr., of Huntley was quarantined Wednesday for small pox. Chris Ahrens, Jr., has the disease. Valhalla Home for the aged, an in­ stitution to be built by the Indepen­ dent Order of Vikings, is to be located at Deep Lake, near Lake Villa. Berl Bergett, eleven years of age, was the third victim to meet death by drowning in Crystal Lake in one week. The lad was swimming when he disap­ peared beneath the surface. The body has been recovered. A contract has been let by the vil­ lage board of Spring Grove for a new steel bridge over Nippersink creek on Bliven street in that village. The bridge will be 78 feet long, 16 feet wide and will have a cement roadway and a 4 foot sidewalk. A law passed by the state legislature prohibits any junk dealer or any sec­ ond hand dealer or any pawn broker from purchasing or receiving on de­ posit or pledge goods or anything of value from any person, either male or female, under eighteen years of age. The penalty is a fine not exceeding $500. Dr. L. B. Rice, who for the past thirty-two years has conducted a den­ tal office in Richmond, has been com­ pelled to retire from the actual work of his profession and has disposed of his practice to Dr. Geo. C.' Smith of Chicago. Advanced age and failing health were instrumental in causing Dr. Rice to give up the profession. Postal savings banks will soon be as numerous as loan and building associa­ tions. One thing has been established; that is, savings in a government postal bank cannot be attached. The govern­ ment requires absolute secrecy on the part of the postofiice officials as to names of depositors, and will not allow courts to have postal bank records ex­ hibited in court. Marengo Republican-News: H. L. Smith placed on exhibition Saturday at the Dairyman's Bank three stalks of corn measuring seven feet and eight inches, which he doubts if any one else can excel for growth. It was planted May 2. During the intensely warm weather the corn thruout this district made wonderfully rapid growth and the prospects are good for a "bumper" crop this year. The refraction of the sun's rays came near being the cause of burning a farm house north of Waterford, Wis., be­ longing to Chas. Redlin. It appears he bought a new tin pail the other day and hung it on the side of his house. The sun shining on the bright, new tin set fire to the board siding of the dwelling and but for the timely dis­ covery of the blaze the house would have been destroyed. The city of Chicago has started out a force of milk inspectors who are ex­ pected to inspect 1200 dairies within the radius of 250 miles of the city and report to the new health officer who has taken charge in the metropolis. Fourteen inspectors were detailed to perform the task and they are under the guidance of Dr. Sherman, an ex- army officer who succeeds Dr. Evans in charge of the city health department. The Dundee postoffice, which has been in the second class for the past year, will have to be run as a third class office again for the next 12 months, beginning with July. This change is made for the reason that the sales did not quite come up to the second class requirements for the past year. It means that $000 will be knocked off the appropriation as compared with last year and that the same amount of work will have to be done with less help. Geo. W. Conn, Jr., former superin­ tendent of schools in McHenry county and candidate in the recent Republi­ can primaries of the eleventh con­ gressional district for the nomination for congressman, has accepted the po­ sition of state superintendent of the farmers' institute of Kansas and will be affiliated with the state agricultural college at Manhattan, Kan. Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Conn sailed for Europe, where they will travel for several weeks. They are to be members of the touring party organized by Miss Bessie Stone, sister to Mrs. Conn. The party will return from Europe about Sept. 1. Mr. Conn has charge of the institute work thruout the state, and is also at the head of the experimental farm, university extention work and domestic science. He holds a pro­ fessorship in the college. The position came to Mr. Conn absolutely unsolic­ ited. The trustees looked over eleven states and ran down the qualifications of each man suggested, finally unani mously choosing Mr. Conn. The sal­ ary is about $3,000 per annnm. NOTICE.

TIETZ, Prop. ----------a--------------------a BIG EDUCATIONAL RALLY WILL BE HELD AT THE COUNTY SEAT OH THURSDAY. JULY SO. Thursday, July 20, has been set for perhaps the greatest educational rally our county has ever witnessed. Nearly one hundred certificates of promotion to high schools will be awarded to as many contestants, who vied with each' other in the final examination of May 19, 1911. The certificates will be awarded in the opera house at Wood­ stock, the exercises beginning at one o'clock p. m. Appropriate music will be furnished and excellent speakers will be present. It is planned to have with us the Hon. Francis G. Blair, state superintendent of public instruc­ tion, one of the ablest and most force­ ful speakers in our state. The meeting is a direct outgrowth of a mutual desire, on the part of both parents and teachers, to honor the real interest that pupils show in their school work. The educational rally, like the township exercises just held, represents the interest and responsibility existing thruout our county between parents, teachers and pupils. When we realize that our very best farmers and business men are recruited from the products of the rural schools, we can feel their isnportans® in the maintainance of the integrity and in­ telligence of our nation. The oppor­ tunity of the one room school for effec­ tiveness lies in this fundamental ser­ vice of the great majority of its pupils. Detailed programs and announce­ ments will be printed just prior to the meeting in all local papers. You and your friends are cordially invited and urged to attend and take part in this red letter day in the edu­ cational advancement of our county.

Ritt, 18 N, Crystal Lake NOTHING TO IT. The carnival company which was advertised to exhibit here five days last week proved to be one of the big­ gest fizzles ever attempted here. The company, if such it may be called, ar­ rived in town on Tuesday of last week and by Thursday night they had suc­ ceeded in erecting one enormously (?) large tent on the Riverside property. The company depended entirely upon a snake charmer, a "supper act" sing­ er and a fortune teller to bring in the nickels and dimes. The McHenry people didn't appear to be biting very hard on Thursday, the opening as well as closing night, and after passing1 the balance of the week killing time in McHenry the company left town the first of this week.
