The music for the occasion will be provided by Fox River Pour of McHenry. Dance tickets, 90 cents; war tax, 10 cents; total, |1.00. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend. Mr. and Mrs. William Althoff were given the real surprise of their lives at their home here last Sunday, when their children, together with their families, gathered at the home to assist them in observing their forty-fifth wedding anniversary. Their son, William, of McHenry called for his parents early that morning on a pretense of taking them- for an automobile ride to Aurora, but on his arrival in McHenry tfier^was a call for him on important business matters at Fox Lake. Expressing his regret on not being able to make the trip to Aurora the son took them back to their home, where they found all of their children awaiting them. One can easily imagine the completeness of the surprise. After receiving the good wishes from those gathered for many more years of wedded happiness as well as two very beautiful presents all sat down to a bountiful chicken dinner. The afternoon hours were then passed in a social manner. Those who made up the happy gathering, besides the host and hostess of honor were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tonyan of Pistakee Bay; Mr. and Mrs. Peter M. Wagner of Volo; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Althoff, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Althoff of McHenry; Mr. and Mrs. Will Pattern of Woodstock; Barbara and Bernard Althoff of Johnsburg; Misses Katherine and Mary Althoff and their uncle, Henry Althoff, of Elgin. Of course such an occasion would not have been complete without the grandchildren, of whom there are twenty. The occasion will remain long tn the memory of those present and will go down in the family's history as one of the most pleasant gatherings. OSTEND Market your eggs at Erickson's.

SEN IOR ^SCHOOL NOTES Mr. Wells (in physics): "Everybody's got the giggles today." We were very charmingly entertained by the Metropolitan Glee club Monday afternoon. The Latin III students are learning that many of our slang phrases are far from original. Cicero himself used many of them. - The physics class were victims of a fierce test on Monday. The survivors of the test wish to warn Mr. Wells to give them a warning before the next test. The senior class held a meeting and elected officers for the coming year Monday evening. They are Leo Thelen, president; Kathleen Powers, treasurer, and Leone Givens, secretary. Everyone was very much frightened when on descending the stairs on the! ringing of the fire alarm to see clouds j of smoke issuing from the laboratory. j The fire occurred during the chemis- j try laboratory period. It was soon extinguished by use of pyrenes. The committee of Pauline, Cornelia and Carolyn, who were elected by the senior class, have planned the following program for English IV Friday: Monologue .........Kathleen Powers Reading Helen Powers Humorous Poem ....

Committee ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE As the result of a highway marking conference called by the Cook county superintendent of highways one day recently, all roads in northern Illinois are to be made an open book for motorists to read. Highway marking in the state of Illinois has been a thing very sadly neglected and motorists will welcome the day when this state will be given a system as good or better than that now existing in Wisconsin. The Cottage hospital at Harvard, founded by Dr. C. M. Johnson of that city a quarter of a century ago, and which has alwaysPbeen conducted by him, has been sold to Dr. I. J. Frisch and Dr. S. C. Greewald of Chicago, who took possession of the institution on Oct. 1. Altho the Harvard surgeon has given up all responsibilities of an administrative character, he will maintain an office at the hospital and continue his surgical activities. George W. Odom, aged seventy, who has been serving the village of Libertyville in the capacity of merchants' night policeman, attempted to end his life in the gravel pit near that place late last Friday afternoon after he had been told that he was about to be dismissed from duty because of his age. Marshal Limberry arrived on the scene just in time to prevent the tragedy. Mr. Odom suffered a long illness some time ago which is thought to have* affected his mind. The supreme court at Springfield has denied the petition of William and Emma Winch for a rehearing in the case in which the supreme court at the June term handed down an opinion reversing the cause in the case of Charles W. Phelps, Frame G. Karg and Adelaide Gannon agialnst William O. Winch and Emma Winch. The suit was to enjoin the Winches from operating a dance pavilion MI Channel lake in the town of Antioch. The circuit court of Lake county, in which the suit was brought, dismissed the case for want of equity and the appellate court affirmed the circuit court. After the supreme court had reversed the decision the Winches asked for a rehearing and it is this petition that has just been denied. This means that the case will now come back 'to the circuit court at Waukegan for another hearing. -Neighbors of the Winches complained that the jazz orchestra, together with the noise from the approach and departure of automobiles and motor boats until the early hours of the morning, made1 it impossible for them to sleep. The litigation has dragged along for the last two or three years. It has bean fought oat quite bitterly.
