E. 9, Waite, Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court of McHenry County, Illinois TOWN TEAM DROPS LAST GAME ' itAfrnvilv fit A A W mm ' Mm M* -XT» 4 Jnm mJEw Chicago Team Puts Up Great Game Against Local Quintet ^ liiisket ball game, which otherwise Mfould have been one of the prettiest ever seen in McHenry, was marred at the local gym last Saturday night on account of the fact that some of the members of both teams as well as their ardent supporters had bet a few dollars-on its outcome. The first half of the contest was one of the hottest exhibitions of the kind ever seen in McHenry. The captain of the visitors caused more than a little time to be lost during this part of the entertainment by "chew­ ing" with the referee. He seemed to be of the belief that the official was going to rob his team of the game and told him so in plain English right out on the floor. Things became so warm that at the end of the first half the referee announced that all bets were called off. This seemed to soothe he previous ruffled feelings of the visitors and they set out and played real basket ball from that time until the end of the contest, the final count being 28 to 9. Hie McHenry five tried their level best to stop their opponents, but it was useless. When they once got ac­ customed to the playing space and the baskets there was no stopping them. While both teams missed many opportunities at scoring, the basket shooting of the visitors was remark­ ably accurate, very few so called luck shots being seen during the evening. Robison, who has been the shining light for McHenry in all of her pre­ vious games of the season, was un­ able to get a ringer. Miller, McHen- ry's center, who has carried the. home team to many a victory, was able to collect but one ringer and three free throws. Frett and Nickels made the other two field throws. « Since the game it has become known that the Chicagoans came "loaded" for this particular game, having in its line-up men who at one time wete stars on university teams, so this ac­ counts for the one-sidedness of the score. However, McHenry did well to hold them to such a low count. The line-ups and scores follow: . Polish Amer. (28) A. J.

CONSIDER HOME ADVISOR McHenry County Will Adapt Method of Sister Counties A small but interesting meeting was held at the court house in Woodstock on Monday, April 8, for the purpose of considering the question of a home advisor for McHenry county.

The officials of the fuel administration tell us that the 1918 production of hard coal will be 20 per cent short <ft that of 1916. This means that if you used 5 tons of hard coal dur­ ing the winter of 1916-17, unless you make application early, you will get but 4 tons for next winter, provided you get your share, but if you waite until next winter before making application you may not even get your share. Your neighbor who applied early, may get his requis­ ition filled, taking one ton that was coming to you because you neg­ lected the opportunity, consequently you may be short two or more tonkin every five, or possibly be unable to get any hard coal at all. We are ordered by the fuel administration that on all requisitions over 4 tons we must not deliver more than two thirds of the full amount until all applications on file have been furnished their allot­ ment. To soft coal users. If the present order of the fuel administra­ tion continues in effect, no Pocahontas or other coal mined east of In­ diana will be permitted to be shipped to this zone. We must depend entirely on Illinois and Indiana mines for soft coal. These mines positively will not be able to supply the zone unless a large percentage of it is stored during the summer. The early buyer will be the for­ tunate one. We are not limited to quantity on soft coal except that you may not purchase more than the winter's supply. The fuel administration requires that we furnish no one with coal for next winter's use until application is made in writing on blanks fur­ nished by the administration. ' Now the situation is very serious, more so than last year, arid is growing more serious every day. That this community did not suffer from coal shortage last winter is largely due to the fact that a great percentage of our customers had the foresight to fill their bins early in the summer. The fuel administration will help us to obtain coal for those that apply early. They will assume no responsibility to those that wait until the cold weather forces them to buy coal. They advise you to apply now. We URGE you to apply now. Not only for hard coal, but for soft coal as well. If your bin will not hold your winter's supply, MAKE IT LARGER. Your .security against a coal famine next winter depends greatly upfon yourself. If you have not already made application for coal DO IT NOW DO IT NOW DO IT NOW WILBUR LUMBER CO.
