VOLUME 52 JOIIB PURCHASES 50 MORE ACRES WILL HAVE 18 • HOLE COURSE NEW YEAR \ HcHENRY OPENS FOOTBALL SEASON MMeisy Cormtry Ohib Buys Additional Land From Jacob Justen . At the regular monthly meeting of thef'board of directors of the McHenry Country club, held at the West Mc- Henry State bank building on Monday evening of this week, a deal was consummated whereby the club will acquire from Jacob F. Justen an additional fifty acres of ground adjoining the club's present holdngs, which asures another nine holes. Arrangements for the financing the purchase have already begun and it looks at this time as if the club will experience no difficulty in (raising enough cash to make the initial paying the club's p^fcsent holdings, which as also to allow work On the additional nine holes to start very shortly. The price to be paid for the additional fifty acres is $525 per acre and in the agreement Mr. Justen is to provide the club wtih a right-ofway from the Elgin road. This additional right-of-way will give the club two entrances to its property and while the latter may not appear like a necessity at the present time, the directors felt that such an outlet would prove quite valuable at some not far distant date. Mr. Justen, on request of Richard B. Walsh, president of the McHenry Country club, was present at the meeting of the board of directors and the whole deal went over in a most harmonious and satisfactory manner. By the terms of the agreement as entered into Mr. Justen was pkid $250 as a binder, while the initial payment of $6,000 is payable on or before January 1, 1927. Mr. Justen will be given a mortgage on the entire club holdings for the balance, which is extended over a period of ten years with the provision that the club may liquidate the indebtedness at option. Ben Stilling, who acted as agent for Mr. Justen, and who is also a member of the board of directors of the golf club, has assured the purchasers that every effort will be exercised in an endeavor to have the property surveyed and title prepared and surrendered at the earliest possible moment so as to assure an early start on the new greens arid fairways. Mr. Justen has also promised the club his best cooperation towards this end. Thus it now looks as if Albert Purvey, the club's green man, will shortly have a gang of men and teams on the job and with favorable weather conditions a good start towards the building of the additional nine holes should have been made by the advent of winter. A plan for the additional nine holes has already been worked out by H. H. King, a member of the club, and who, by the way, has been a most enthusiastic worker ever since the formation of the organization a few years ago. It was Mr. King who laid out the original nine holes and that his judgment in planning these has met with the approval of the membership, as also hundreds of Chicago people who have been guests of the club during the past few seasons, will be readily attested to. The officials of the club and the members of the board of directors will meet at the clubhouse next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at which tiiwp the body will make a trip over the newly acquired property to ascertain just how far the additional acreage extends in all directions and also satisfy themselves that the plans for additional holes will meet with approval. It is the aim and desire of the club officials to have the additional nine holes ready for play by July of next year, but whether or not this fond hope will be realized will depend entirely upon condition of the weather this fall and next spring. If working and growing conditions are favorable this goal can and will be reached. The Additional nine holes, when once m good playing condition, will, it is hoped, give the McHenry County club one of the finest and best places of amusement and recreation of the kind to be found anywhere in the Chicago territory. McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1926 NO. It Plays Scoreless Tie With Elgin Saturday The McHenry Heavies traveled to Elgin last Saturday, where they played their first football game of the year. Although the score was a tie, McHenry had the better of the argument and would have scored had it not been for several fumbles. Fumbles are to be expected, however, in the first game of the year. The game by quarters is as follows: First Quarter--Fay kicked off and Elgin was downed on McHenry's 40- yard line. Elgin fumbled on the first play and Geier recovered for McHenry. Hitchens fumbled and Elgin recovered. Elgin could not gain through McHenry's line and was forced to punt. Conway fumbled the punt, after making a running catch of it and Elgin recovered the ball. Again the McHenry line held and the ball changed hands on downs. McHenry could not gain and Miller punted. Elgin took the ball, but was again forced to punt as the first quarter ended. Second Quarter--McHenry had the ball and made first down on plunges through the line by Conway and Hitchens. McHenry kept hammering at Elgin's line and made another first down. Here Coutchie thought it time to bring on a new team. Conway promptly initiated the new Elgin eleven with a 7-yard gain through right tackle. This gain put the ball on McHenry's 18-yard line. McHenry was penalized 5 yards for being offside. Conway gained 5 more yards but on the next play Geier fumbled and Elgin recovered on McHenry's 20-yard line. McHenry stopped Elgin's line smash as the half ended. Third Quarter--Elgin kicked off and McHenry advanced the ball to Elgin's 45-yard line. Here McHenry started a determined march down the field that brought the" ball to within 15 yards of the McHenry goal. However, the Elgin line stiffened and Fay dropped back to drop kick. The kick was offside, however, and it was Elgin's ball on the 20-yard line. Elgin made a first down on a line plunge and a completed forward pass. McHenry recovered the ball when Elgin fumbled, but being unable to gain, were forced to punt. Elgin's ball as the third quarter ends. Fourth Quarter -- Miller tore through and downed an Elgin man for a 3-yard loss. Elgin punted and recovered when McHenry fumbled the ball. McHenry forced Elgin to punt and McHenry got the ball. Being unable to gain, Captain Miller was called upon to punt out of danger, which he did with a neat 45-yard kick. Elgin could not gain and McHenry took the ball on a fumble. On the next play Hitchens made a long 40-yard pass that came within a few steps of being turned into a touchdown. Had Barbian, who was racing down the field, been a few steps further he could have caught it and the game would have been over for it would have meant a touchdown. As it was, however, the pass was grounded and a moment later the game ended with neither team scoring. Notes of the Game Conway and Hitchens proved to be the best ground gainers for McHenry, making a total of 123 yards between them. When it comes to tearing up the line Miller and E. Conway are right on deck. Both tore the Elgin line to pieces and were continually breaking through and throwing Elgin for losses. Zulesdorf got going on one of Miller's long punts and downed the receiver before he knew what happened. Next week the heavies and lights travel to Gamee, where they tackle the Gurnee heavies and lights in what ought to prove a real game. Coach Stringer plans on giving the team a real workout this week anc' drilling the backfield. The backfield had but little chance to work together in home practice, but with more practice in the future should make a backfield that is to be feared by all opposing teams.

Uiia#^t!perviM# W Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society The Illinois Children's Home and Aid society have established a home just outside of our city on a farm formerly owned by the Hanly estate, on the Crystal Lake road. The home now accommodates about six boys but Mr. Detrick, who now owns the property, intends to either rebuild the house or erect a new residence on a nearby site so that there will be room for more children and perhaps also serve as a rest home for Mothers. The Illinois Children's Home and Aid society has rendered its service as a non-sectarian organization for forty-two years, serving children in every county in the state. This organization, with its main offices in Chicago, is caring for a daily population of 1,670 dependent children who look to them for food, clothing, medical needs and mother-love The number of adopted children still under the supervision of the society is 1,250. In these state homes the children are trained and educated so that they can be adopted and taken into good homes. C V. Williams is the superintendent, with offices at 308 N. Michigan avenue, Chicago, and Alfred W. Bruhn is in charge of this northern district and will be glad to speak at any time for any club or society. There are field workers, visitors and solicitors in all parts of the state with other offices at Galesburg and Rockford. - Donations of money or clothing are always gladly received either at the head office or at the home. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Kline from Chicago have charge of the home here, being under state inspection, it is necessary for them to know how to raise childfen in every way. They have been in the children's welfare work for many years and the children soon learn to love them. Each boy is given certain tasks to do and they are all interested in their home. Mrs. Kline has been in child welfare work all her life and was superintendent of the primary department of the M. E. church in Congress Park for fourteen years, as well as teaching the kindergarten there for many years. She belongs to the Chicago branch of the National Story Tellers' League and gives bible plays and pantomimes, usually writing her* own pantomimes. Mr. and Mrs. Kline intend to make this their permanent home and are intensely interested in their work, which pays such large social dividends to society. Every normal boy is a potential value to his community if given a chance to make good and these boys are deserving of whatever help or kindness we can show them.

Last February a Dollar Day wan-" put on here and, although nearly every one who co-operated did a good business, it was not the success that it should have been, owing to weatheir conditions and the milk situation ajb that time.

The writer already knows of somn of the wonderful bargains which thin merchants intend to list and is safe in making the statement that shoppew are going to be surprised when theflTr read the ads next week. The mejw chandise is all regularly carried by the storemen and they are putting on this wonderful sale for the one day only to increase their business, givp their customers the benefit of somn attractive bargains and, incidentally, to induce many who at present do nofc^ trade in McHenry to realize that this, city is a good place to buy their "Dollars Do Double Duty on Doll#" Day" is the slogan and that is no idtil phrase.
