Len Small of Illinois, who for years ha# been secretary of the thriving Kankakee Inter-State Fair, the citizens of Indiana have, next to the people of Illinois, done more toward making the great Inter-State Exposition what It 1* today than anyone else. Governor Small points out that even In the old "horse-andbuggy days" the people of northern and western Indiana flocked to the Kankakee Interstate Fair each year in thousands, In such numbers In fact that the name of the exposition which was first the county fair, then the District Fair, became the "Inter-State Fair" which name It bears today when it draws Its exhibitors from the most distant parts of the United States and •; spectators from _ half a doien .. states. Wednesday has always been . • the most popular among Indiana patrons and for that reason Wednesday Is called "Indiana Day." The railroads as well as the concrete highways will send thousands of Indiana citizens to Kankakee on Indiana day, Wednesday, August 17. The Kankakee Inter-State Fair will be widely advertised over northern Indiana and some of the finest stock In Indiana will be found on the entry lists.

CLUB HAS PLANS FOB A NEW CLUBHOUSE Orchard Beach Golf Club Will Have , . Second Nino' Holes Ready For V 1928 Play On July 4 the Orchard Beach Golf club of McHenry opened the first nine holes of its 18-hole championship course. Many Chicago players were among those who attended and the club's attendance was far greater than they expected. Since that date the club's patronage has been on the increase. Playing to marvelous creeping bent greens, nicely trapped and pitched, has been allowed and found a pleasant surprise. The Orchard Beach Golf Club's plans and ambitions are to give the golfers, golf at a nominal cost and still function as a private club. Play is through courtesy card only and the members are passed upon by a Board of Admissions. It is the belief of the owners of the Orchard Beach club that the day has arrived when golf must be considered as a business and that a greater, better, finer service can be rendered by one man management and ownership. In order to reduce the cost of golf to the average golfer, assessments have been done away with and yearly dues reduced to meet the expense of maintenance. The membership fee is spent in developing the course and delivering to the members a course that can be favorably compared to any in the Fox River region. A new clubhouse is being planned to meet every need of the club's members and will be completed when the membership has reached completion. Temporary quarters are being planned for immediate installation and every effort will be made to complete the la•sovt nine huoulieess fxourr 1i&92zo8 ppllaayy . ^ Arthur L.

Edna, the second daughter, died March 21,: 1917, at the age of forty-one leaving only the youngest daughter, Delia to mourn her mother.

Years of ill health and sorrow held her to the quiet of her home, yet she loved beauty in all forms, the wild woods, and the little creatures in them. She was ever ready to aid the least thing in distress, and her heart went out to all who suffered. A devoted wife and mother, a friend in need to every helpless creature, she will live always in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to have known her. Among those attending the funeral from out of town were: O. C. Howard and wife of Round Lake, Mrs. Stella Tonas and daughter, Mrs. Kemp of Grayslake, Mlrs.
