Below, by the side of the winding Avon, lies the town of Strat­ ford, with its ancient houses and crooked streets. Trinity church tower nestles among the trees near by, and the surrounding country, quiet and pastoral, suggests scenes of rural life. We are in the heart of England, in Warwickshire, sometimes called the garden of England, and about twelve miles from the town of Warwick, with its great castle, so important In Feudal times.

How Stratford looked in his tim£ is a matter of some conjecture, for the town then numbered 1400 inhabitants, while today there are nearly 10,000. Stratford was not spared the plague, and three severe fires have at different times greatly damaged it, yet today it still presents a sufficiently quaint and picturesque aspect to satisfy our idea of Shakespeare's home. This is one of the most popular pictures in the Elson art exhibition which closes Friday evening, May 14, at the school auditorium. Any one wh<5 has not visited the ex hibit loses a notable opportunity to widen his knowledge of pictures. The beautiful art exhibit opened yes terday and will continue for three days The pictures have been arranged on the walls in their chronological order beginning with Egyptian art and com ing down to modern American art. In the center of the room is an interesting display of the work of the school. It was impossible to postpone this exhibit unless by cancelling it for the year, because these exhibits are dated months in advance. The programs have been prepared and it is hoped that all who can will attend. There are many who undoubtedly would like •to come at a time when they can study the pictures leisurely. It is suggested that they visit the exhibit during the morning or afternoon hours. Coming "The Count of MontoCristo" played by The Famous Players, will be at the Central May 27. CHESTER S.

Contractor John Wheeler, who built the Genesee street viaduct at Wau- kegan, lost 98,000 on the job. The enterprising people of Barring- ton raised $006, which made the new railroad park in that village a possibility. The May musical festival held at Woodstock last proved a big success and brought, out large crowds to all of the concerts. A Whitewater. Wis , man was given a substantial fine one day recently for h'aving his horse tied iu the street all duv without food or water. .A full two years' course of high school work will be added to the A1 gonquin public school with the begin niag of the next school term. The moving picture men of Crystal Lake are up in arms because the city council has seen fit to raise the theatre license from $25 to $50 per year.

The barn is equipped with all the modern conveniences and is drawing much attention from the farmers residing in the vicinity of that city. A deficit of $100,000 in the treasury of the United charities, which annually sends 15,000 Chicago children to the country for a summer's vacation, may deprive the children of this extreme pleasure the coming summer. A great number of children are brought out to Algonquin each summer by this society. k Forty members of the Commercial association of Waukegan toured entire Lake county in automobiles on a re­ cent day. The trip was made to study the devfelopement, resourses and needs of the county in order that the asso­ ciation might have the information at hand to enable it to be the greatest service in the general development of that county. * Harry Peinne, a barber, and James Dawson, a well known resideot of the place, were arrested at Chemung last week, charged with selling liquor in anti-saloon territory.

Among other notable Ma­ sons, Hon. Wightman, grand master of Illinois, honored the affair by his pres­ ence. More than fifty members of the Germania lodge of Chicago came out to confer the degree on one of the Can didates in the German language. The work began in the early after­ noon and before the opening of the evening session three of the candidates had received their degree in the En glish language. The evening session belonged to the Germania lodge under Master Schott whoso splendid work made a deep unH sting impression on all those that ad the good fortune to be present. It was nearly twelve o'clock before <-he day's work was done. A long string of automobiles then transferred all the members to Knox's hall, where a magnificent banquet had been pre­ pared by Landlord Bickler.

The new West McHenry State bank building will be formally opened next Saturday, May 15, at which time vis­ itors will be received and shown thru the establishment, which is a distinct credit to the stockholders as well as an ornament to the village. The bank will open at the usual hour in the morning and, for the convenience of those who cannot get to town during the regular banking hours, the place will remain open until eight o'clock that evening. With the completion of the new banking house McHenry can now boost of having the neatest and best little bank of any town of its size in the United States. The building as well as the equipment is complete in every detail and the service will henceforth be the most efficient at the command of human bands'and brains. The structure is 30x60 feet in dimen­ sions and one story in height. Tile, brick-, marble, steel and cement form the construction material, while the fixtures and furniture are of marble and mahogany. The front of the building ^ of cream colored tile, the product of the Ameri­ can Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co., locat­ ed at Terra Cotta, the design being the same as used in many of the larger banks thruout the country, and is a beauty to say the least. Entering the institution one finds himself in a palatial lobby. The di-.. mensions of the lobby are 17x34. Its tile Hoors, its French travenall wain­ scoting and base boards and elegant mahogany furniture make it a most in­ viting place. To the left, after enter­ ing the place, is the cashier's otllce. One is-admitted to this thru a swing­ ing gate. The office is equipped with large desk and chairs that harmonize well with the balance of the fixtures. Passing thru the cashier's office we enter the cage or workroom proper. In the southwest corner of this space the telephone booth is conveniently located, while work"tables, drawers and receptacles are so located that em­ ployes have easy access to san^. The vault, which is built of ce'ment. steel and iron and absolutely fire proof, has its entrance from the northeast corner of the cage, as well as the northwest corner of the lobby, the entrance from the lobby being beautified with grill work. The vault is 6x8 feet and fitted up w ith the very latest in lock boxes. A large ornamental clock occupies a place on top of the vault. The wardrobe for employes of the bank is located on the east side of the vault. The directors' room is located in the rear end of the building. This is 13x20 feet in dimensions .and is suitably fur­ nished. A large mahogany table oc­ cupies the center of the room, while chairs and the president's private desk are the other furnishings of this room. Just off tbe directors1 room is located a large wall cabinet and tbe gents' toilet room. The entrance to the base­ ment is at the northeast corner of the directors room. Next to the gents' toilet room is lo­ cated the ladies' waiting room, lava­ tory and toilet. The waiting room is equipped with desk and chairs. A small coupon-clipping room occu­ pies a place in the northeast corner of the lobby, while next to this is the sanatary drinking fountain. * The basement, which runs the entire length of the building, is set aside for store room purposes, the heating plant and an additional vault. A steam heat­ ing plant occupies the north end of the basement and this will keep the place comfortable and oozy even in the cold­ est days of the winter. In planning the new structure one of the chief aimes was to provide for plenty for light, both natural and art­ ificial, and that this feature was not overlooked nor neglected one must be willing to testify upon entering the place. The front windows are of the Venetian design and, while odd in ap­ pearance, let in an abundance of light even (A dark days. Electricity is used for the artificial lighting system, the fixtures being of the very latest style, with revertable globes. Z Carl W. Stenger, the hustling as well as popular cashier of the bank, is in a great measure responsible for this latest ornament to the village, as it was thru his untiring efforts that the directors came to a decision to build the new West Side State Bank build­ ing, which is a model in beauty as well as architecture. The cashier as well as bank officials extend a cordial invitation to the pub­ lic in general to visit the bank next Saturday, when all will be shown thru and given a souvenir besides. BASEBALL SEASON CHICAGO COLORED ALL STARS WILL OPEN SEASON HERE The baseball season will be officially opened in McHenry next Sunday after­ noon, when the Chicago Colored All Stars will be here for the initial game. The baseball park is now being put in shape for the opener and everything will be done to make the event a big success. The All Stars, it will be re­ membered, appeared in McHenry on three different occasions last year. They won the first game 3 to 0, while the second and third contests went to McHenry by 3 to 1 and 4 to 1 scores, respectively. When it is taken into consideration that both of the teams are equally if not a trifle stronger than last year, it may be seen at a glance that they are very evenly matched and the result should be a close and excit- ing game. Wallace, the man who makes every­ one laugh with his humorous and witty sayings, will again accompany the colored boys and it is worth the price of admission to see and hear him. The McHenry team will be made up of about the same players as constitut­ ed the club last year, with one or two changes, made for the betterment of the aggregation. ' 'Red" Delehanty and "Sally" Sahlberg have again been ob­ tained to do the pitching, while "Chief Meyers of Klgin will be at the receiv­ ing end of the battery. Other familiar faces that will likely be seen in Mc­ Henry uniforms are Comiskey, Riley, Bending, Koob, Opfergelt, Warner and others. Mayor-elect Dr. David G. Wells-will be given the honor of throwing the first ball and the season wili be opened in a most auspicious manner. The game will be called at 2:30 p. m., and the general prices of admission will prevail. Help make the opening game a success by your attendance.

PATRICK rLDSKY FOUND DEAD HAD LIVED ALONE EVER SINCE DEATH OF HIS WIFE , THE A FREAK CHICK Chris Norager of the Orchard Beach hotel informs us that he.: has a freak chick at his place: He describes it as having four well developed legs as well as a double body and spine. Fifteen girls and ten boys will grad­ uate from the Woodstock high school this year. The cold body of Patrick Fluslcy, who since the death of his wife a num­ ber of years ngo has made his home in a deserted bouse situated about five miles soutliw. st of this village, in Nun- da township, and fully one-half mile from any public road, was found lying on a bot at his home last Friday morn­ ing. The body was discovered by a son of Mr. Grover, who occupies a neighbor­ ing farm. When found the deceased was fully dressed. Mr. Flusky was last seen alive last Sunday morning, when he had occasion to visit his neighbor, Mr. Grover. J The inquest was held over the body the same afternoon that he was found, the investigation -being conducted by Deputy Coroner Dr. C. H. Fegers of this village. There being no marks on his body and no signs of a struggle being evident, the jury returned a ver­ dict that the deceased had come to his death thru natural causes. From alll appearances the man was dead three or four days before his body was found. N. J. Justen & Son, the West Side undertakers, took charge of the body and interment was made in St. Pat­ rick's cemetery last Saturday. The deceased was seventy-eight years of age and, so far as we are able to learn, leaves no immediate relatives. NOTICE TO CEMETERY LOT OWNERS At a meeting of the McHenry Ceme­ tery Aid society held on Tuesday of last week it was decided that only those paying annual dues of $1.00 would have their lots cared for the coming sum­ mer. The dues have been coming in so slowly that this course was decided upon, as the funds will not warrant the society to go ahead and have all lots cared for as has been the custom in the past few years. If your lot does not receive the attention that is beitog paid others you can readily understand that it is for the reason that ybu have failed to pay your annual dues. Kindly give this matter your immediate attention and thus have the graves of your de­ parted loved ones kept clean. MRS. JAS. B. PERRY, Pres. MRS. T. J. WA«LSII, Sec.
