Upon the announcement by the chairman that the federal Authorities had already considered tills location to the extent of sending an inspector here to make tests on tho natural resources, every member fas pledged a bigger and better org a n i z a t i o n . ' • " Those who have gfven ww location consideration find ideal conditions existing in this community for a federal fish hatchery of large proportions. We have an over-supply o^, fresh spring water, direct transportation by water to the chain of lakes, by cement highways to all parts of this territory and by rail, with side track. Several millions of dollars have been appropriated by the federal government to be expended in this immediate territory and we venture to say that no place has the natural advantages that we have existing at McHenry. Now, the only factor missing In our community is a strong organization to exert enough influence so that our arguments and demands will be given consideration.' Such an organization is the Izaak Walton League of America. The McHenry chapter of this league at present consists of a small membership. It is the desire of the officers and board of directors that this membership be increased to in dude every business man and individual citizen of our community. Anyone can readily realize what it would mean to our city and community to have a million dollar development of this sort It would give employment to a number of people and would be the means of attracting tourists from far and wide. Besides the above local objective the Izaak Walton League as a whole de- Telops opportunities for the enjoyment of the great outdoors as a part of the character building and the spiritual and physical development of our people; to encourage the protection of woods, wild flowers and wild life; to safeguard the public health *nd conserve aquatic life. "Next Tuesday at 8 p. m., April 22, there will be a meeting of the McHenry chapter at the K. of C. hall, McHenry, to which all readers of this article are invited. Come and learn more about the objectives of this or •ganization. The officers and board of directors invite you to beeo*ne member. PETER W. FRETT, PETER K. FREUND, ' OTTO ADAMS, ; f ^ STEPHEN H.

Everything went off -with a bang, and the Scouts /have declared that they haven't had so much fun for a long time. After the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States," the patrols went into their respective meetings. Dues and attendance were taken. Then the patrol leaders handed each member of his patrol a copy of "How to Talk the Indian Sign Language," These booklets were presented by Ray McGee. Although no reciprocation, monetary or mercenary, was given, it is evident that appreciation of the gift was great. Each Scout was signaling or "signing" his brother Scouts with a lot of crtzy and, as an out-sider said, "falooky" gestures. The climax of the evening, without a doubt, came when Mr. Herman Nye gave the boys a few chemical demonstrations. Among- these were various flame color-tests for minerals; white liquids suddenly changing Into bright colors of "red or purple or visa-versa; odiferous gases; poisonous and nonpoisonous; and finally, he gave the boys a demonstration of "Fire-spitting." After giving each of the boys a dime-like-penny, he told them that chemistry is a great thing and that wore live-wire boys ought to be in it. The Eagle Patrol gave, a "patrol stunt." Among the ftctoin was a sharp-shooter and a Herculean wrestler. A sort of second climax was reached by playing out-of-doors, the game being "Ron, Sheep, Run." Tho boys are looking forth to the next meeting. Another young man of the city is to give the Scouts a talk on thrift or ahletics. On April 28, 1980, * First Aid Team of Crystal Lake, tHU give several demonstrations. More of this will appear later. Tell all the Scouts that you know that you read all of the articles that sum up their activities. It will make them more enthused. ^IpL.

FAULTY BALLOTS DEFEAT STOFFEL Flint* Writ* la Num ef Stoffel WAIfcrman^ouiy tcen'$fcfepni 0*t -i* Although the weatherman failed to hand out as nice weather for the city •lection on Tuesday as he did on the preceding Tuesday, a good-sized vote was polled for the various candidates for city office. An eleventh-hour attack on the candidate for alderman in the second ward almost dealt disaster to his prospects and instilled a little pep into the election, which with a small amount of competition in the first ward, was after all rather a quiet affair when compared to some of the city, elec tions of the past. The friends of John Stoffel, present alderman of the second ward, rallied to his support and although he had not filed for re-election his name was written in on the ballots in competition with F. H. Wattles, whose name appeared on the tckei. If the ballots had all been marked correctly Stoffel would have won, but fourteen of his ballots were thrown out because incorrectly marked so that Wattles won the election by the narrow margin of two votes, with 62 votes to 50 for Stoffel. In the first ward R. I. Overton won with 50 votes, while the name of Wil liam Bonslett was written in on fourteen. In this precinct George Bohr received 42 votes for police magistrate. In the third ward there was no contest with only 22 votes cast and A1 bert Krause receiving 21 votes for al derman. In this precinct George Bohr received 19 votes for police magistrate, Doherty received 1 and Buch 1 George Bohr was elected police magistrate without a contest. The question, "Shall an act permitting cities and villages containing less than 500,000 inhabitants to levy a tax not to exceed two mills on the dollar for fire purposed be adopted?" wee •VJA YOW bj TTjllUy vu this question being as follows: Ward 1--No, 82; Yes, 25. Ward 2--No, 79; Yes, 34. Ward 8--No, 12; Yes, 10. The vote in the second ward was better than two to one against the question and this decided action of the voters of the city is doubtless an expression of their disapproval of the high taxation of the city. John Stoffel and William Bonslett will retire after two years of active service given in the interest of the taxpayers of the city, who expressed their appreciation of their work in the votes given them at the polls on Tuesday. INSTALLATION OP OFFICERS St. Clara's Court, No. 659, W. C. O. F., will hold its annual installation of officers on Wednesday evening, April 30. A six o'clock dinner will be served at Bickler's hotel after which the installation followed by cards will take place at the hall.

The drive will be in effect throughout the county and it is hoped that the people of this city will respond to their drive in their usual generous manner. ON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Mrs. Jack Walsh of McHenry was appointed on the executive committee of the county Red Cross at a meeting held at the Buckley Tta rom, Woodstock, last Thursday evening. About twenty i people enjoyed the dinner which was served at the tea room. S. A. Matthews, field representative, gave the address, telling of the work of the Red Cross.

Sunday on April 20, which is almost1 church with the services on Moundy a month later than it was last year. At this time special 3erviees wil! bo observed at the various local churches. The Eastertide is one of hope and promise, coming in the springtime when all nature awakens to burst into beauty, and brings to every heart a message of hope and good cheer. Palm Sunday was greeted with solemn services, impressive ceremonies and special choral presentations in many of the churches and ushered in the most active week in the church calendar, which is the week preceding Easter. Nearly every night of Holy Week or Passion Week, as it is often called, will mark some activity in the churches in this vicinity and the minds of the people will be given over to the more serious thoughts of life. On Palm Sunday the palms were blessed with solemn ceremonies at the high masses and each and every parishioner received a small palm In memory of the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem. Those who bear the palms with devotion may receive protection for soul and body, as prayed for in the blessing, that the inhabitants of the place in which they are kept may be preserved from all evil, that those who carry the palms may, by means of the churches and prayers, adorn their souls with good works and thus, in spirit, meet the Savior, that, through Christ whose members we are, we may conquer the kingdom of death and darkness and be made worthy to share in Hi« glorious resurrection triumphant entrance into Heaven. Holy Thursday commemorates the solemn circumstances under which the divine Savior instituted the Holy Sacrifice of Mass and the most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, as on this day he broke bread with his disciples. For the Jewish people Good Friday was formerly the preparation day for Easter and was called by thafe Parasceve. For Christians it is the day of the death and burial of our Lord, who, on thli day, offered himself upon the cross for the salvation of the world. On Saturday Jeans rested in the sepulchre and on Easter Sunday he arose from the tomb, bringing joy and the fulfillment of promise to the world.

The services on Holy Saturday begin at 6:30 in the morning, this being the solemn blessing of the new fire, Easter candle, the Easter water and the Baptismal water. It may interest not a few to learn the real meaning of Easter or Pasch. v Easter, in Latin Pascha, signifies going by, passing over, and has this historical origin: Under Fharow, king of Egypt, the Jews in that country groaned in intolerable bondage. God had at last mercy on His people and the hour of freedom came. By the command an angel struck with death the first born of the Egyptians, from the hut of the laborer to the palace of the king. The Jews had been already ordered by God to be ready for emigration, but to first kill a lamb, eat it in their house in common, and to sprinkle the door posts of their houses with its blood. And the angel of death, by order of God, went by the doors sprinkled with the blood of the lamb, and did no harm to any' child of the Israelites, whilst he slew all the first born sons of the Egyptians. In grateful memory of this passing of the angel over their doors, the Jews observed the festival of Easter, the Pasch, the Passover. After the death of Jesus, the Apostles introduced the same festival into the church in grateful remembrance of the day on which Jesus, the true Easter lamb, took away our sins by His blood, freed us from the angel of eternal death, and passed us over to the freedom of the children of God. The Young Ladies sodality of the parish will sponsor a card party for the benefit of the church on Easter Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock, in the parish hall. Many beautiful prizes, also a door prize, will be awarded, and the parish members and their friends are cordially invited. The church services for Easter morning will be two high masses: 7:45 a high mass, stnging by the school choir, and at 10:00 the parish high mass, rendered by the parish choir, with the following program: Vidi Aquam--Mixed voices by H.

E. Church Deadly carbon monoxide gas claimed as its victim Frank Chance Page, 21 years old, as he worked on his car in the garage at the home of his brother, Lester, late Sunday afternoon, April 13. Once again the grim hand of death invaded this city, shocking the community and filling the hearts of the people with sadness as its victim, a young man, who only i few months ago, had entered manhood's estate, was stricken from the midst of his friends and acquaintances by the deadly gas, which emanated from his ear upon which he was working. x Frank Page had made his home for the past year with his brother, Lester since the departure of his mother, Mrs. Martha Page, for California, where she has spent the past year in Los Angeles. It was in the garage at the Lester Page home where the younger brother kept his car, although usually when there was work to be done on it he would take the car to the Buss-Page Motor Sales garage, wh^re his brother was a member of the firm and where he was also employed in the office. But on this fatal day the unfortunate victim probably had detected some small defect about the car, which he thought he could remedy quite as well at his home, for the evidence of tools spread out on the floof showed that he had boon working upon the car. Sister-fn-Law Finds Body His body was discovered by his sister- in-law, Mrs. Lester Page, who came home about 5:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Upon going upstairs in her home Mrs. Page detected the sound of a motor Anning and looked out to locate the sound. Being unable to ascertain just where the sound came from she went downstairs and out the back door where she could plainly hear the sound of the motor coming from the garage. Without a thought of the impending disaster which was about to shock her she opened the garage doors, switched on the light, and saw the body of the unfortunate young man slumped over the driver's seat The air-tight room was filled with the deadly gas and a blue smoke rushed out at her as the doors were opened and at once knowing that something was wrong Mrs. Page call ed to the neighbors and rushed in to shut off the ignition. With the aid of two neighbor boys the unconscious body Was carried from the garage and doctors and other assistance was summoned. The pulmotor was used for nearly an hour, but there was no sign of life and the fight was finally abandoned as a futile attempt to obtain results, life probably having been extinct for some time. Tools Scattered On Floor The hood of the car was open, and tools were strewn about the floor, where there was a rubber mat, also, indicating that the lad had been at work upon the machine and had started the motor, possibly only for a few minutes, to determine if it was working properly. Whether he had closed the doors or whether they were closed by the wind will probably always remain a mystery, but doubtless he did not give a thought to the impending danger which was probable. He had been seen to drive into the garage about 4 o'clock, but there is no evidence as to how long the motor had been running. The body of the unfortunate young man was taken to the Jacob Justen undertaking establishment where the coroner's inquest was held Monday afternoon. The verdict of accidental death from carbon monoxide gas was returned by the jury composed of the following men: Jpmes Perkins, Jack SCHOOL ELECTION HELD SATURDAY 'Ctodjisli But Good-sized Vote fe : V Coot--Most Members . .

This was their first experience V$ participants in a band contest of any kind and they entered mainly to oiltain some experience in this line, with plans to enter the contest next year in an endeavor to carry off first prize. Imagine their agreeable surprise, therefore, when they were awarded third place in this, their very first attempt at any thing of the kind. "McHenry's Own" Is without quen* tion one of the two best high school bands in the county, taking second place only for the Harvard high school band, who were also winners in their class this year. The directors of the band, W. N. Sears and Miss Minnicfe* as well as Supt. C. H. Duker and tin patrons of the high school, are Indeed proud of the fine showing made by the band and it was said by thooo who heard them play In the that they never played better Saturday and their fine appearance with their capes and caps in the : colors and white trousers for the and white dresses for the girls, ing much to their part of the Forty-two students made the trip, 00 well as many of the parents who heard the band play Saturday noon. The first place was won by W%«t Chicago and second was taken by Capron. The McHenry musical organisation was entered in class C. which included schools of less than 260 enrollment, and their success this year will be an added stimulus to their work for next year. The directors of the band. W. N. Sears and Miss Minnich, are planning to enter several in the solo contest for next year also, and the contest next year will be more interesting than ever with the names of the McHenry musicians included in the gram.

This is the third vear that the Harvard High band has been a winner in the contest and they will enter the state contest at Champaign on April 23 to 25. In the statO contests Harvard won first place in 1928, going through to the National contest and in 1929 they won second place in the state contest. Next to Harvard the local high school has the finest band in the county and the instruction and attention that has bepn given to the musical department af the high school during the past few years is bringing returns which promise to increase as time goes on. W. N. Sears, the director «f t*» band, is very interested in his work and worked hard with the band, no did Miss Minnich also, to perfect their selections for.the contest. An exceptional treat was in stofn for those who stayed for the after*', noon session on Saturday, when the Joliet high school band, winners In the National contest, gave a concert which was wonderful, indeed.
