HOVE The McHenry Council, Knights ot Columbus, which, ever since its insti­ tution here has used StofTePs hall as a meeting place, has made arrange­ ments whereby it will hold its meetings in the hall 09 the second floor of the Telephone Exchange building in Cen- terville. The hall is now in the hands of decorators and is being put in readiness for the hext meeting of that body, which will be held on Thursday evening, March 19. Owing to the cen­ tral location of the hall the officers and members of the council feel that the change will be the means of bring­ ing about better attended meetings. AN ACCEPTABLE GUT At a recent meeting of the Social Wheel Miss Mabelle Wheeler present­ ed the society with $7.80. This is the amount received from the California Perfume company for coupons re­ deemed by them, Miss Wheeler being their representative here, "fhis money was greatly appreciated, as it helps to swell the treasury and will be used, no doubt, for the much needed repairs on the Universalis!, church.

The city of Harvard is out after a more adequate tire alarm system. Marengo will- have two "Go*to- Church" Sundays; as follows: March 1 and 8. • A large shoe factory, w;hich gives employment to 500 men, is seeking a location at Waukegan. \ There is a possibility that electric car service will be inaugurated on the Soo line between Chicago and Grays- lake the coming summer. A passenger elevator is to be in­ stalled in the store of H. A. Sternberg- at Dundee soon. Looks like Dundee is becoming very much inetro{>olitan. Three town.collectors, representing the towns of Chemung, Dunham and Alden, collected jbhesnug sum of $7,900 in 'the city of Harvard on a recent day. r A number of Palatine ladies have organized a club by which they hope to enlighten themselves as to how to properly exeteise their rights of fran­ chise. The question of annexing the vil­ lages of Crystal Lake and North Crys­ tal Lake will again be voted on at the coming spring elections in tehepe two places. The milk bottling plant at Grays- lake paid its patrons $32,000 for milk delivered during the month of January. The largest individual check Went to: R. Thomas, who received $726.16. TJios. Graham of Ingleside, the present minority representative of this, the eighth senatonal district, has an­ nounced himself a candidate for re­ election to the seat at Springfield. According to reporte from that vil­ lage, $200,000 will be spent on new buildings at Wauconda the coming spring-and summer. Among the new buildings planned are two large hotels and a number of homes.

The State Bank of Evanston will open a savings account with a $1 deposit for every baby born inside the town limits. The suggestion will be made to the parents of each new ar­ rival that an amount corresponding to the age of the .baby be deposited on each birthday. When twenty-one years old the "baby" will have $230 in the bank, the officials figure. Th$ city council of Woodstock last week passed an ordinance limitihg the number of saloons to. five. Another ordinance was passed which provides that all screens, doors or curtains, which now obstruct a full view of the interior of a saloon from the street, must be removed so that the public may at all times observe a!l that is go­ ing on within the saloon. The two ordinances become effective on May 1. The county seat city now has ten saloons'. Marengo Republican-News: The Woodstock "& Sycamore Traction Co. placed a new automobile car in opera­ tion on its line between Marengo and Sycamore on Thursday. It is expected that it will carry about twenty passen­ gers. It is run by one person, the con­ ductor also being the chauffeur, and it is intended that the passengers will pay as they enter. It is believed that it can accommodate 'operated at much the heavier cars. Harvard Herald: W. Marshall and W. Rummel, twenty and twenty-two years old, residents of North Crystal Lake, were given sentences of ninety days each in the county jail by Judge Donnelly in the circuit court at Wood­ stock on Tuesday, the young men en­ tering pleas of. guilty to petit larceny. Sheep and chickens were what they had stolen . from farmers in the North Crystal Lake locality and they had mixed up so promiscuously in the light fingered work that no defense seemed necessary, hence their guilty pleas were entered and sentences iinppsed for county jail service. State's Attor- new Joslyn represented the state and Q* P. Barnes the young men. After sentence had beea imposed and the men taken back to jail, Sheriff HeS- derson received a hurry call to North Crystal Lake to make an arrestN for a similar offense in the case of S. Shubey, a nineteen-year-old lad, whose love for chickens and sheep he did not own will surely give him a similar sentence, it is believed. Shubey is a Crystal Lake young fellow and the' sheriff apprehended him yesterday. He will likely remain in jail until his case comes before the grand jury, which will not meet until next Maj'. ..

At the conclusion of the after­ noon's work dainty refreshments were partaken of. The next meeting of the society will be held at the home of Mrs. George M eye re, Sr., next Satur­ day afternoon. Birthday Surprtia Miss Clara Freund was the victim of a birthday surprise perpetrated upon her by a number of friends at her' home on Main street on Tuesday even­ ing of this week. Altho Miss Freund was not prepared for company, she soon had things arranged for the en­ tertainment of her unexpected guests and a most happy time was had by all. Refreshments were served at a late, hour, after which all returned to their homes with the feeling that the pleas> ant hostess had shown themsa royal time. Faraatar Card Club On Thursday evening of last week Mrs. Simon Stotlel acted as hostess to the members of the Lady Forester Card club at her home on Main street.

W. Freund. On each occasion refreshments were served and a good time enjoyed by all. Panu Saclal a Big Swcoaaa The social given by the ladies of the Dorcas society at the pleasant country home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Page last Friday evening was one the most largely attended events given by that society this season, over seventy par­ taking of the fun a sleigh-ride social out in the country always means. The spacious rooms soon filled, as bob after bob deposited their loads, and when all were warmed the fun began. The committee in charge of the evening's program made a good selection and the ten-word "Washington" telegram proved' the diversity of man's mind and caused a great deal of merriment. The musical program was excellent and lit­ tle Dorothy Spencer gave two recita­ tions. Light refreshments were served at a late hour and soon the bobs were again ready for the homew&rd trip, everybody hoping there would be an­ other Dorcas social in the country soon. mlrox URN BRIDGE I0RSE RACING SATURDAY IS IN VERY BAD SHAPE AM) SOMETHING MUST BE DONE The planking over the Fox river bridge is in very bad shape and. before the opening of the heavy summer traf­ fic something must be done to place same in a safe condition.. There has been a rumor afloat for some time past to the effect that the time has arrived for the building of a larger and more substantial structure across the river at this point. Considering the enormous amount of traffic which crosses the bridge during the summer season, it is plain to be seen that the present light structure cannot hold out much longer and, fur­ thermore, it is also far too narrow. Several accidents have occurred on the structure during the past few years anQ, in view of the faet that each year brings with it a greater amount of traffic, it looks like it would be a very good move to start the ball arolling for a new bridge.

Some ot the fellows- whb own fast steeds have been sort of itchy for a race all winter, but not until this week did a few of them get together, and as a result the steeds will be given an opportunity to show their speed on the above mentioned day. " The first race will be between Nancy F., owned and driven by Math. Freund. and Bedelia T., owned and driven by Robert Thompson. This will be a mixed race, the former horse being a trotter, while the latter Is a pacer, The second event of the day will be a pacing race between Kitty K., owned and driven by Marty Knox, and Dolly J„ owned by Joseph Justen. The lat­ ter horse will be driven by W. Wood- burn. Both races will be for a purse of 150 and, as all of the horses have a follow­ ing of backers, it looks like the old town will see a lively afternooon. The best two out of three heats will decide the winner In each event over the half-mile course, which has already been laid out. , / ' While these are the only matches that have thus far been arranged, an­ other race may be decided on before the time of pulling off the excitement arrives. The first heat of the afternoon will start promptly at 1:30 and as no ad­ mission will be charged it is expected that a large crowd will be on hand to see the sport. MG CROWD AT DANCE SEVENTY DANCE TICKETS ARE BOLD ON MONDAY NIGHT Notwithstanding that the> weather and condition of the country roads were against' them, the Riverview camp, R. N. A., of this village enter­ tained a large crowd of dancers and spectators at their masquerade dance, which took place at the Central opera house on Monday evening of this week.

SMITH CARRIES AWAY RIBBONS 01 •ANY PLACES Of the few dairymen In the vicinity of McHenry who are now turning their milk into butter, A. W. Smith of Ring- wood has probably carried away as many ribbons and prizes with his but­ ter as any other man in MeHenry county. . His butter carried away the ribbons at the McHenry and Lake county fairs, the Springfield state fair and won for him a diploma at the National Dairy show held in Chicago last fall. Mr. Sinith has what he terms "just a common herd of cows" and he pro­ duces about 200 pounds of butter week­ ly, for which he finds a ready sale and receives oc per pound above the Elgin price. He takes great pride in his dairy and keeps everything about his prem­ ises in A No. 1 shape. The milk bottling plants In the vi­ cinity have been desirous of obtaining him as one of their patrons, but Mr. Smith informs us that there are clauses in their contract that it is next to im­ possible to live up to and which he feels should be changed. However, he is not worrying and feels perfectly satisfied with turning his milk into butter. " BASKETBALL The McHenry high school team will meet the McHenry Alumni team at the village hall on Saturday evening ,D' 'I ----ap WOMEN TO VOTE MAY ESIKISE THEIR* RIGHT fif FRAN- CHISE THIS SPRING Now that the women have been granted the right of franchise It will not be out of place to give the fair ones a few pointers as to th$lr newly acquired obligations at die voting booths this spring. We herewith give the law: An act granting women the right to vote for presidential electors and cer­ tain other officers, and to participate and vote in certain matters and elec­ tions. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Peo­ ple of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly: That all women, citizens of the United States, above the age or 21 years, having re­ sided in the state one year, in the county ninety days, and in the elec­ tion district thirty days next preced­ ing any election therein, shall be al­ lowed to vote at such election for pres­ idential electors, member of the state board of equalization, clerk of the ap­ pellate court, county collector, county surveyor, mem bers of board of asses­ sors, members of board of review, san­ itary district trustees and for all officers of cities, villages and towns (except po­ lice magistrates) and upon all questions or propositions submitted to a vote of the electors of such municipalities or other political divisions of this state. Section 2. All such women may also vote for the following township officers: Supervisors, town clerk, assessor, col­ lector and highway commissioner, and may also participate and vote In all annual and special town meetings in the township in which such election district shall be. Section 3. Separate ballot boxes and ballots shall be provided for women, which ballots shall contain the names of the candidates for such offices which are to be voted for and the special questions submitted as aforesaid, and the ballots cast by. women shall be canvassed with the other ballots cast for such officers and on sucih questions. At any such election where registra­ tion is required, women shall register in the same manner as male voters. By the above it will be Seen that every woman of McHenry township who is a naturalized citizen of the Unit­ ed States, who has reached the age of twenty-one, is eligible to vote. It is further seen that she may vote for all township offices except that of police magistrate. Women are not required to register In the town or village of McHenry. Now that the women have been given the rignt to vote they should show their appreciation by'> good, large turnout a\ the eomiug primaries and elections. DROWNS AT FOX LAKE ice WORKER STEPS INTO OPEN -BOLE ' AND DROWM0 Henry Runge, thirty-seven y&i'rs'old, an employe of the Ruhe Ice company, fell into an open hole in the ice at Fox Lake shortly after six o'clock last Sun* day evening and before help could reach the scene he sank In a few feet of water and drowned. Runge is said to have come to the ice field at Fox Lake several weeks ago from Chicago. He had worked there several times during past seasons and was considered one of the best and most careful men in the employ of the company. Nothing is known of the man's family or where he lives, but an investigation has been started and it is expected that if he has any relatives they will be located in a short time. It is customary to close down on the work at Fox Lake at 5:30 o'clock, at which time the men go to their sup­ per. No work is done after that time with the exception of watching the ice schutes to see that they are kept clear. Three men are usually detailed for this work and Sunday night Runge with two other ipen were sent out after supper. The two men are said to have started ahead of Blunge and had gotten some distance across the lake before he left the office. Thinking that he would take a short cut and catch up with the men, he started across the ice. He had not gone far when he stepped into an open hole in the ice and sank from sight. According to those who saw the man fall into the hole there had been no signs of an opening In the ice at the time. It Is thought that the water was covered with snow at that point, thus hiding the opening from the sight of the walker. Runge's criesjor help could be heard for some distance around, but by the time help reached the side of the hole he had disappeared from sight. Lan­ terns were obtained and a search was made in the dark for the remains. Shortly before seven o'clock Fred Ol­ son, one of the men with whom Runge was to have worked, found the body and it was pulled from the lake and tf&en up to the boarding house.

In order to establish another precinct^S/ • must be shown that there are ovcflt-|j* 1.000 voters in McHenry township. • ; ed so that some like scandal, sontfH . don't; some like the truth told tothM| others don't; some like fakes expostf* some don't; some like to take IlR paper for seven or eight yean and never miss an issue or pay a cent ami get mad and stop the paper when they get a statement of their account, soo* don't. It is some conaoiauoa to knotty that the Lord himself tailed to pleeM? while on earth. The editor who can please everyonijfi is not fit for this earth, but is entitle ̂ to wings. Human nature is oonstitujjf JOHN NjUtiSEK, everyone while on Wnfi. - -6#V i
