The men were en route to an auction at Lake Beulah, and as Peck, who was driving fast, turned out to pass another vehicle the -wheels of his car struck' some loose . gravel and he lost control of the machine. He applied the brakes and the unbalanced car turned over three times, pinning the men in the wreckage.

FIRE DEPARTMENT SAVES ORCHARD BEACH COTTAGE The McHenry fire department saved the Delgeino cottage at Orchard Beach from destruction by fire Tuesday morning. The roof of the cottage caught fire from a nearby bonfire and the strong wind of Tuesday soon fanned the snarks into a blaze, which was extinguished by the quick work of the fire department. As the wind was blowing the flames of the bonfire away from the cottage the men at work were not looking for any danger in that vicinity, but as soon as they discovered the smoke they ran to the nearest telephone to summon help. The roof of the cottage was badly burned and some damage was done by the water.

MASQUE DANCE Masque Dance will be held at the "Lily Lake Lily" Sat. Eve., Nov. the 9th for the benefit of Lily Lake and again picture ourselves in the Great War and the fear and anxiety we felt for our loved ones, when we think of the horror and hardship they were enduring at that time, and then when we picture the joy that was felt when the glad tidings swept the country that peace was declared, with church bells ringing, whistles and sirens blowing in the middle of the night, telling us that the war was ended and that once more the nation could live in peace, we breathed a prayer of thanksgiving for the brave men who risked their lives to protcet tjieir country and us. But can we, who were so far from the trials and horrors, hardships and ravages of the great war, picture the feeling that must have been in the hearts of the boys who for months had heard nothing but the sound of bursting shells, with their comrades falling on all sides and wondering if they would be the next to go. Then we picture their homecoming, how we all counted the days and hours when our sons and brothers would return and it was a happy day, indeed, when,, they did arrive happy and well. Then there are those boys who also came home--but not happy and well --for the horrors of the war were too great for them and they have suffered every day for these ten long years and must continue to suffer until the divine Providence decrees otherwise. These boys so willingly gave their all so that we might live in a beautiful country,--then what could be more fitting and proper but that we bring a few rays of sunshine into their morbid existence? At the Elgin state hospital for the insane there are 476 ex-service men and two women and it can well be imagined how large an undertaking it is to provide only a wee bit for each one. When these boys gave so much for us, should we shirk when asked for one small dollar bill or the price of a ticket for the annual Armistice dance? The proceeds will go to make the ex-service men happy at Christmas time or to buy a dress or a tray for some little tot whose father can perhaps no longer recognize his own child and who will have no Santa Claus coming down their chimney on Christmas eve. Visft Elgin or Speedway If each of us could make but one visit to Elgin or the Speedway hospital in Chicago and see the endless rows of cots whose occupants must exist day after day totally helpless, perhaps only a body with no limbs or eyes, it would indeed be a heart of stone that would not be touched. The American Legion and Auxiliary ask you to kindly assist them with their Armistice dance on Nov. 11, at the Polly Prim and thereby help them in this work they have undertaken. All of the money the Auxiliary obtains must be uBed for service work, according to the by-laws of the organization, and if there are any social activities they must be provided for by the members. Tickets Now On Sale Tickets for the Armistice dance will be on sale this week at the Beavis Tailor shop, McGee's Clothing store, Althoff Hardware, Wattles drug store, A1 Barbian's Grocery & Market and Karls restaurant or may be obtained from any of the members of either organization. At the last meeting of the Auxiliary plans were made for a membership drive from Nov. 12 to 17. The dues are only $1.50 a year so every one who is eligible is invited to join. - After the meeting a shower was given for Miss Dorothy Bauer, who is to be a bride on Saturday. She received many wishes for her happiness. The American Legion has "The Wistful Witch" Enjoyed by Appreciative Audience at High School Auditorium lite pupils of the sixth grade of the McHenry public school, under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Anna' Barron, presented a short playlet entitled "The Wistful Witch" before an appreciative audience at the high school auditorium on Thursday after- "hoon.

TTie scene was laid in a cornfield, at harvest time, at the Windy Glen broadcasting station, where owls and black cats lent a spooky atmosphere. According to the announcer, the program was over station WTCH broadcast direct from the studio at Windy Glen and was furnished through the courtesy of the Hallowe'en Magic Corporation, manufacturers of goblin wings and witch broomsticks, whose slogan is, "Good to the last flop." Melvin Peterson did the announcing so splendidly one would have thought he was • an old hand at it. Marshall Bacon delivered a short speech of introduction. The boys and girls of the cast deserve great credit for the way in which they put over the play. Those who were not in the play deserve credit for the spirit of co-operation which they showed at all times. And last, but not least, is to be commended the efforts of their teacher, Mrs. Barron, in her interest in putting on this charming and unusual little play. The affair was complete in every detail with attractive costumes for each character, the stage setting was ideal and the children showed the results of effort and much time spent in their training. The play was wholly a Hallowe'en affair as shown in the song given by the witches to the tune of "Ten Little Indians"-- One little, two little Three little witches, Fly over haystacks, Fly over ditches, Slide down the moon Without any hitches Hey-ho! Hallowe'en's here. FORD CAR PRICES REDUCED $15 TO $200 Reductions on the prices of Ford cars went into effect last Saturday. The cuts generally are $15 to $200, according to E. J.
