Woodburn, mention el whose decision to leave Rockford to take up a new Geld of work with the Wells-Fargo Express Co. in Chicago was recently made in this paper, will sever his connection with the local Wells-Fargo branch next Tuesday, as­ suming his new position in Chicago July 1. Capt. Woodburn is to be commercial agent for the Wells-Fargb company in Chicago, serving as assistant to the general agent for the company in that city. It is a well. merited promotion, carrying with it a nice increase In sal­ ary, and is a long leap upward for the Captain. E. A. RUB ton, at present manager of the Aurora branch of the Wells-Fargo, will come to Rockford to succeed M r. Woodburn. « It is twelve yean since Capt. Wood- burn came to Rockford froim Beloit and entered the service of the United States Express company as a driver. He was seven years with the "U. S." and when that company quit the ioeal field he went into the service of t he Wells-Fargo, having been Rockford agent for that company for the l^st flvie years. The great suooess Captain Wood- burn enjoyed in his local work caused his superiors to keep a close eve upon him and when the vacancy in the Chi­ cago general office occurred he ww* the choice for the post. Since 1900, when he enlisted as a trumpeter in Company K., Third Regi­ ment, I. N. G., Mr. Woodburn has been prominent in local militia affairs. He was chosen second lieutenant after three years' service, then raised to first lieutenant, aud in 1910 he was named captain, an office which he will relinquish this summer. Capt. Wood- burn plans to spend a week in camp with his command in August, after which he will sever his connection with the local military organization, much to the regret of the boys, tfho have al­ ways hailed him a tip-top leader. <?apt, Woodburn and his family will make their home in West Pullman.

If you haven't, it's high time you hunt it up and pass your judgment on it and cre­ ate public sentiment. There seems to be some very philanthropic men (?) in our enterprising town, but they seem to lack money or have some other mo- itfel We have seen all sorts of devices to draw the young men and girls into the saloon to take the first fatal drink of poison, but we are horrified to find that one man has gone so far as to start and maintain a saloon under the caption of an "Orphan's Home." How can any human, that wishes to be known as a man, run an orphan factory under the misleading electric sign of Orphan's Hom'e?" We can, in a sense, excuse such a blunder on the part of one man, but can we excuse the good citizens, the marshals and our mayor if they sanction such a "slam" on charity institutions by permitting the glaring sign to remain? All or­ phan homes are open to public inspec­ tion. Let us investigate this one. F. A. SHIPLEY. THE SOCIAL WHEEL Members of the "Social Wheelwtnet with M rs. Starritt on June 27.

On their arrival in Crystal Lake the strangers went to the Rau home, where a "Fer Sale" sign was displayed. The spokes man of the trio, who" ititfuuuueu the other two as his brothers, told Mr. Rau that nis father was seeking a place in the country and they would like very much to go thru the place. In case he was satisfied with it he would send his father out the following day. A short time after the departure of the trio for parts unknot t|»o robbfery was discovered. Harvard Independent: A Harvard young man who spent last Sunday in Chicago was the victim of an unpleas ant experience at White C$f>y. While taking a flyer in one of the devilish contrivances there, known as "Riding Thru the Clouds," the motor that runs the outfit got out of kilter and the ma­ chine stopped dead still, leaving the Harvardite iqp-the car at the top of the heap. He was "up in the olouds, all right, all right," and stuck there for two straight hours. The mishap to the machinery occurred just before the heavy rain and when R. reached, terra firma he was wet thru and thru and his clothes ruined. He ought to have forced the management to buy him a new suit of clothes, but did not think of it at the time, as he was glad to get off without injury. Richmond Gazette: The state fish hatchery established at Spring Grove this spring by the Illinois Game and Fish commission is expeeted to turn out this year Something like three mill­ ion bass fry to stock the streams and lakes of northern Illinois. The hatch­ ery, which is yet undeveloped, com­ prises a tract of about thirty-Ave acres, the land beingnleased from the Wieland Dairy company. It is planned to di­ vide the tract into seven or eight hatch­ ing ponds and when t|ie plant is com­ pleted it will have a capacity of about ten million bass fry^ a year. At the present time about twenty-five acres are under water and the pond is stocked with breeding bass now spawning. Be­ fore fall the other ponds will be com­ pleted and stocked. A hatchery is also to be built at Spring Grove with a capacity of about fifty million pike- perch fry a year. It is planned to have the hatchery completed in time for next spring's hatching. The pereh fry hatched at Spring Grove will be plant­ ed in the lakes and streams of north­ ern Illinois that are best suited for this kind of fish. Announcement is made by the state game and fish commission that it is just getting under way an or­ ganization for tish hatching ana rais­ ing that will make Illinois the great­ est fishery state in the union, and it is expected the hatchery at SpringGrove will become quite a plant when the proposed improvement* are completed. -V,J ' • veluv.llie parish. grounds gaily dec?

Wm.* Keoppe's remodeled passenger boat "Alice" Is again doing service and is better than ever. Wni. Lorimer and family of Chicago have taken up their residence at their summer home at Pistakee Bay. Don't forget the Fourth of July pic­ nic at Nell's Columbia park next Sat­ urday. Everyone is invited. The storm of last Friday morning did considerable damage along Fox river. A number of reporters report the loss of trees, while in one instance at Orchard Beach the roof of a cottage was blown off. Four days have been set aside for the children of Pistakee Bay. The dates whereon the .children will be given supreme command of the club house and grounds are July & and 30 and August 6 and 28. Two df the fastest boats ever run on Pistakee Bay have been delivered to that point by the manufacturer, Everett Hunter, of McHenry. This means increased interest in the motor boat events in the future. The hotel proprietors of McHenry, along Fox river and Pistakee bay are preparing to take care of hundreds of pleasure seekers over Saturday and Sunday. We are all hoping that the two days will be warm and clear. Next Saturday night, July 4, is the date for the informal opening of the Pistakee Yacht club house. At the opening event a big turnout is natur­ ally looked for and the members will see that the season of 1914 is opened with the proper spirit. .As has been the custom for many years, Wednesday afternoon will be devoted to the ladies at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion. These Wednes­ day afternoon parties have, grown very popular among the ladies of the club and each afternoon brings out an ex­ cellent attendance. ' The race program for the Fourth of July at Pistakee Bay will be as follows: 10:00 a. m., special power-boat race; 2:00 p. m., special cat boat race; 2:30 p. m., special class A race for the HerU Challenge cup. At 3:30 p. m., swimming race; 3:45 p. m., tub race^ 4:00 p. m., fathers' sail raoe--18 foot boats. One of the real lively spots along Fox river "is to be found at Howell's Villas. This is one of the beauty spots of this section and Mrs. Howell experiences very little trouble in finding renters for her desirable cottages at that place. Every cottage, we are told, is now oc­ cupied and from now until Septem^pr i general activity will prevail at this jptiint. The Pistakee Young Ladies' Yacht dub will again hold weekly card parties at the club on Tuesday after­ noon of each week. The first party will be held on Tuesday, July 7. These parties have proven most enjoyable affairs in the past and the young ladies are bending their efforts in making them even more enjoyable than ever before. , According to. »* Waukegan^paper, the bridge across upper Pistakee Bay is now an assured fact. The structure, if built, will be constructed near the railroad bridge at Nippersink lake. No doubt the bridge will be heralded with delight by the traveling public and should prove a paying investment for the builders who, expect to make same a toll bridge. We are informed that the members of the Pistakee Yacht dub are looking forward to one of the biggest and best years that the club has enjoyed in some time. Frank E. Hansel 1, who has been chosen commodore, is a live wire and will do everything within his power to keep things lively within the ranks of the club. The Pistakee Young Lffdies' club, which during the past year or two has been a prominent fig­ ure in social doings at the Bay, is also planning on some gay events for the season, while the Young Men's olub will not be outdone by any of 'em. INSTALLS MILKING MACHINE John F. Claxton, one of the town's most progressive farmers, has installed j a Sharpies milking machine and is now familiarizing himself with the working parts of this wonderful machine. The machine was installed last wpek and is one of the very latest of Its kind manu­ factured. At first the cows did not seem to take a liking to the modern way of taking their milk away from them, but they are now becoming ac­ customed to the new way and all ex­ cept a few of 'em are well broken in. Frank Thompson installed a similar machine about a month or so ago and is perfectly satisfied with same. • Mr. Claxton, altho still a little awkward, believes the machine to be as near to human as it is possible to make one. A number of other farmers in this vicinity are considering the purchase of one of the machines and it may, not be long ere most of the farmers around here will ow supplied DOINGS ON THE BIG fflDWir AT GREAT McHENRY COUNTY FAOt AUGUST 28 TO M The McHenry county day and night fair to be held at Woodstock August 25, 26, 27 and 28 will be the biggest and best fair ever held here if high-class attractions and entertainments are any criterion. The management announce that they have secured a list of feature attractions never before seen there aud the pleasure seeking public may rest assured that if they attend the great fair this year they will see attractions that will be worth seeing. Among some of the feature attrac­ tions to be seen will be the great Clifton- Kelley all new shows. This company consists of a fine list of shows and high class people seldom seen with the trav­ eling carnival. It takes fourteen cars to transport them from place to place. They carry a Motordome, Circle Wave, Ferris Wheel and a $7000 Parker three-abreast oarry-us-all and Prof. Moore's concert band of fourteen musicians. Another of the big features is the McKenney-Hunter combination sho\^, recognized thruout the United States and Canada as the best of all free attractions. The company have a carload of thorobred horses, a number of high salaried performers and a troupe of trained dogs. Their program consists of Roman chariot races with four horses abreast, Roman standing races with two and three horses, higlf school horses, hurdle and steeple chase horses. This company will give two performances a day, afternoon and evening, which is free to everybody, and it is positively the best free at­ traction ever appearing at the fair. Then there is Eiler's animal show, con­ sisting of a group of well trained goats, monkeys and dogs, giving a very high­ ly interesting entertainment. Ruhl's flea circus is another feature, giving a most wonderful entertainment with trained fleas. Capt. Henrsicsen, king of all ski acrobats, the only man in the world 'turning a complete somersault on skis, will be here performing this wonderful feat. Midway will be larger than'ever and will have more novelty entertainments than ever and every night will be a glare of light. Mile. Beatrice will give a performance on a 40 foot spiral tower, ascending and ilescending inside of a" large ball, every evening during the fair. * It is thru the efforts of C. E. Jones, the privilege manager, and by a care­ ful investigation of all of the above at­ tractions that the management of the McHenry County Fair association can offer this great line of entertainment. Get ready for a big time and watch the papers for new sensations.
