There will be a report on the women's club meeting next time. Bye now See you next week. MEN ARE SHOWOFFS And besides, most guys are would-be supermen. These observations come, strangely enough, from a member of the so-called stronger sex -- Thomas Fansler. In support of his opinions, Fansler, director of the home division of,the National Safety Council, cites such facts as these: 1. Seven out of 10 persons who die in accidents are males. 2. Males are killed more often than females in accidents involving motor vehicles, fires, drownings, firearms, railroads, poison gases and poisons. "In a recent year," Fansler pointed out, "men were killed three times more often in motor vehicle accidents tfian women."

Don't read these items unless you really want to and think you can see the joke. A reader asks us how much longer our citizens will have to wait for that new electric road. The only answer we are able\to give at this writing is "Forget it, brother forget it?'

A speed boat carrying a number of our summer resorters, caused quite a sensationMn the vicinity of the Fox river bridge last Sunday afternoon, when the occupants of the boat, attired in bathing suits, took turns in riding behind the speeding boat on a plank sled affair. Seemingly it was great sport for the riders as well as the on-lookers. A jolly crowd of our young people availed themselves of the opportunity and took in the moonlight excursion to Fox Lake last Saturday evening and from reports the trip proved a very enjoyable one. These excursions will be continued, by the Hunter boat line, every Saturday evening during the summer months. J. P. Weber has been awarded the contract for another summer cottage on the east shore of Fox river, south of this village. More river lots have been sold in the vicinity of McHenry during the past few months than have been disposed of in a single season for years. We still insist that McHenry as a summer resort is still in its infancy.
