A fund of $1,000 is already available for the latter named purpose, altho it will require considerable more than this to erect the kind of a monument the boys have in mind. TOURING CAR JUMPS TRENCH IN DARKNESS ^ointment was recommended by Con- •„ gressmanM. A. MichaelsQn and was /*. eonurmed by President Coolidge on ., May 26. S. L. Landwer of Barrington, who is a member of the Odd Fellows' : Shrine band of Chicago, recently acs|- fompanied that famous band to Ham- -•> 5 mond, Ind., where a new Shrine W- . temple was instituted. A concert by the band at the Chicago Auditorium was broadcasted over the radio a short time ago. John Walker, aged twenty, who had resided with his parents on a farm near Marengo, is still among the missing. He was last seen on Sunday night, May 25, when he visited friends at Rockford and Marengo. Jiis abandoned car, a Ford coupe, was found the next morning in a creek not far from Garden Prairie. The Western Dairy company closed Its plant at Belden, near Richmond, on June 1, and will locate near Fond du Lac, Wis. The Richmond plant closed down about three weeks ago, thus leaving the milk farmers of that section without a receiving plant. Most of the producers are now skimming their milk and shipping the cream. Glen Hershburger, during the past term one of the instructors in the Hebron community high school, is now employed as radio operator on the S. S. City of Holland, plying between Chicago and South Havan, which position he hopes to fill during the summer vacation period. He has been engaged to teach in the Heston, Kansas, college next term. A large barn on the Ernest Johnson farm, located near Hebron, together with five cows and five heifers, several tons of hay, 400 bushels of oats, 1500 pounds of bran and other feed, harness, feed grinder, fanning mill, milking machine engine and other machinery, was destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon of last week. The fire started from a back-fire of a gasoline engine. A. M. Sowers, proprietor of the Willow Bend resort near Wauconda, has just placed into commission for his guests a large Reo motor bus. I The bus was purchased for the purpose of operating a line between that vil- «. lage and Chicago, but until such time as the owner is given a permit the vehicle will remain in its present use, , -- that of transporting his guests to and, from his resort and the Wauconda depot. Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Hanson and daughter and Patrick Shanley, who are making an automobile trip from New York to San Diago, California, stopped at Hebron a few days -Vt» week, where they visited relatl^ f.l tives. They are traveling in their Ford "House on Wheels." The house is mounted on a ton and a half truck and is ample large so as to provide the party with sleeping quarters and otherwise enable them to ride in , ' • 'I"'I - A big touring car, loaded down with passengers ajid luggage, straddled a trench across Elm street, just east of the intersection of that thorofare and Court street, here about nine o'clock last Saturday night and that the car did not go into the ditch and cause serious injury to at least some of the passengers will ever remain a mystery. Loose dirt on either side of the trench probably averted a very serious accident. According to the story of the driver, he was blinded by the glaring headlights of a car approaching from the east and therefore did not notice the trench until too late to avoid the mishap. The loose dirt which had been piled up on either side of the trench undoubtedly caused the car to make the leap across the ditch, thus when the driver stopped his machine the car stood straddle of the trench. While none of the passengers were injured, all received a severe shaking up and in climbing from the machine women and children occupants soiled their clothing. The party was enroute to Camp" Lake, Wis. ST.

Nicholson, who, with his father, conducts the Birchmont farm located about four miles east of town, met with a very severe accident on the place last Saturday morning. He and the hired man were engaged in plowing up some low land on the farm when he lost his balance and fell in front of the big plow which was being operated behind a tractor. In the fall his right foot was caught by the point of the plow and before thb tractor could be brought to a stop the young man's foot was badly mangled. The large bone in the arch of his foot was completely severed, while the tissues were badly lacerated. The accident occurred about 10:30 o'clock. Dr. D. G. Wells of this city was called into attendance and prepared the unfortunate victim for a trip to Chicago, where he was rushed to St Elizabeth's hospital. He is now getting along as well as could be expected considering the seriousness of the injury. The foot will probably be saved, altho it will be many weeks before he will again be able to walk. REV.

The fairies find her and the fairy queen designates Hop-o'-my-Thumb to guide her thru the land of the lost and later to fairyland, her kingdom. Little Rose, with a band of roses as her body guard, sees much to delight and interest her. The fairies with their dainty charm; the mischievous j elves, who are never at reft it would seem; the giant Forgot--all these she meets thru her wonderful guide, Hopo'- my-Thumb. In the second part, they have brought her to fairyland itself, where the lovely queen of the fairies holds court, Can and Can't, the twins, are here and Little Rose finds a tiny bud amidst her bunch of roses. The fairies and elves do their best! kitchen, is believed to have started to entertain her, the queen is most from a defective chimney. The fire gracious to her, but all this delight fighters won the battle after about cannot keep a mortal, little Rose, an hour's work. Altho the blaze itfrom getting tired and sleepy, and as j self did not gain much headway, the these are fairies of the day, the queen j damage from water amounted to sends Hop-o'-my-Thumb with a mes- j considerable. The loss, we undersage to little Rose's mother that she j stand, is covered by insurance. Mrs. will find her daughter sleeping Sherburne and her daughter, Anna, 'neath the lilac tree in the park, and the last chorus of the fairies, preparatory to taking flight, leave little Rose sleepily leaning against the fairy throne; even her attendant roses are drowsy and drooping, since the queen tells us-- ; . "A mortal child can never stay-- In fairyland but for a day." %• - and so the fall of the curtain ends the day in fairyland and A Rose Dream. Cast of Characters Little Rose Rita Bacon Rosebud ...

SHERBURNE'S HOME FRIDAY ROAD IS COMPUTE! 1 4 LAST POURING OF CEMENT TOOK PLACE SATURDAY NOON The lire 'department was cabled out to extinguish a blaze at the home of Mrs. Sarah Sherburne on Maple avenue shortly after six o'clock last Friday morning. The fire, which had its origin underneath the roof over the EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN MOVED , TO JOB AT WAUKEGAN--ROAD OPEN JULY 1 The last cement on the present contract on the McHenry-Volo road was poured last Saturday noon, which means that same will be open to travel no later than July 1 and possibly a trifle before that time. The J. J. Dunnigan Construction company, builders of this stretch of highway, pulled up stakes here the first of the week and on Tuesday morning started the pouring of cement on a contract awarded them in the city of Waukegan a short time since. About fifteen of the company's men were left on the McHenry-Volo job and these are now engaged in shouldering of the Sides and the building of farm entrance culverts, of which there are about twenty. According to Thos. Murphy, who has had charge of the men on the McHenry job, it will require a month to complete this end of the work, after which these men will be transferred to Waukegan. Most of the company's machinery and equipment, which is now being used at Waukegan, was transported overland, while other equipment, which will not be required on the Lake county job, was loaded onto cars here the first of the week to be shipped to other points. The big gravel crusher and, washer, which were erected on the Nick Weingart farm, east of this city, about a year ago, will not be dismantled at this time, which seems to indicate that the contractors are still hopeful of securing an extension contract wh'ch will bring the road to and thru this city. The gravel in the Weingart pit is said to be of exceptionally good quality. Considering the many handicaps experienced on account of the rain, the company made very good progress since resuming operations on this stretch of road this spring and there were not a few of our inhabitants who were willing to predict only two months ago that the road would not l>e completed until lata the eoming fall. However, now that the cement work is completed and the prospects for an early opening are exceedingly bright, McHenry citizens, especially the business men, have good reason for rejoicing. !

UNHSgMSOES OPERATION ON EYE IN CHICAGO John J. Justen, old and highly respected citizen who passed away at his late home^in this city on May 31, was born at Hirten, Germany, on June 30, 1844. Whfn eleven years of age, in 1855, his parents, together with three sons and one daughter, left their native land for America and after four weeks of a more or less eventful sea voyage they landed in New York the fore part of December of that year. They made the trip from New York to Chicago and thence on to McHenry via rail. The members of the family to make the long journey to this com munity at the time, besides the parents, were the deceased, Michael, Joseph and Mrs. Eva Stretz, two older daughters having been left behind, but these two also came to this country later on. The family, upon their arrival here, first took up their abode on what is now known as the German prairie, north of Johnsburg, making their homes with two uncles of the deceased, John and Joseph Schaefer, who had arrived from Germany about two years earlier. Like many of the other pioneers of the time, the thrift of the Justen family soon let itself be knv n and within a very short time the family had established its first and or;ginal homestead, " hich farm, locate;! between this city »nd Johnsburg. is now owned and occupied by Mrs. Eva Stretz, whose son is conducting the place. At the time of the deceased's mari'age, which occurred at Johnsburg on-Nov. 3, 1869, to Susan Klapperich. Mr. Jnsten was employed by Herman Schneider, who at the time owned the farm which now comprises a part of|col)ncij appears the Emil Lasch holdings on Fox river near this city. After his marriage he continued to make his home with his employer for about a year when he bought the farm near Pistakee Bay now owned by Geo... J. Sayer, which he conducted successfully until about twenty-seven years ago, at which time he moved to this city. He has made his home here continuously ever since and up to the time of his death. His wife passed away in this city about eight years ago. < Mr. Justen was the father of twelve children, three of whom passed on in infancy, while Joseph, Mrs. Wm.
