The location of these stations, they believe, people of this city will soon be losing their patience. We consider this shameful treatment on the part of the state and already quite a number of the men and women who voted for the governor at the last election are beginning to feel quite bitter towards him. Let's have the road. REMODELING^ 1IOME INTO DOUBLE FLAT Frank Freund, local contractor and builder, has started work which, when completed, will transform his residence on Elm street into a two flat building. The lower flat will continue to be occupied by the owner and his family, While the upper one, we are told, has been rented to John Keg, who expects to move his family thereto just as soon as the place is ready for occupancy.

H. D. Dick of the Methodist Episcopal church officiating. C A host of friends attended the services, giving evidence of the esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. Out of respect to the memory of Mr. Colby the United State bank of Crystal Lake and the Home State bank as well as other business houses closed during the hours of service. Fred Leon Colby was the son of Albert H. and Abagail Colby. He was born at McHenry, 111., Sept. 6 1862, and passed away at his home in Crystal Lake Saturday, Jan. 31, 1925, after a protracted illness. ' Altho he suffered greatly at times and knew that the end was not far away, he bore it all with a fortitude and patience equal to the suffering and equal to what would have been to many, the great disappointment of having to leave so soon. Mr. Colby's family moved in the spring of 1864 to the Colby farm on Fox river. Here they resided until October, 1885, when they moved to McHenry, leaving Fred in charge of the farm. At this time, October 28, 1885, he was united in marriage to Lydia Mann Willard. To this union was born one son, Claude Victor Colby. They lived on the farm until the year 1889, when they moved to McHenry, where Mr. Colby entered the implement business. He continued there one year. Then he purchased the implement business of Mr. Hamilton of Crystal Lake. He operated this business alone until his son became of age, when he took him into partnership and the firm became known as F. L. Colby and Son. Mr. Colby took an active interest in the welfare of Crystal Lake, being an alderman for many years. In October, 1910, he helped to organize the State bank of Crystal Lake, of which he was vice president until the bank was consolidated with the Citizens' State bank and became known as the United State bank of Crystal Lake. He was vice president of this institution until Jan. 1, 1925, when on account of ill health he resigned.^ He leaves to mourn their loss his wife, one son, three grandchildren and two sisters, Emma Colby of Crystal Lake and Minnie -t. Colby of Caruthers, Calif. "And so beside the silent seat I wait the muffled oar; No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore.

LOSES RIGHT HAND IN JOINTER DISTRESSING ACCIDENT BEFELL WORKMAN AT HUNTER'S A Most distressing accident befell William Rothermel, aged twenty-five, of this city at thfe Hunter Boat company plant about 8:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning of this week, when the victim's right hand became lodged in the knife of a jointer hie was operating and was so badly cut and mangled that it was found necessary to amputate the member just below the wrist. Machinery at this plant runs at a very high rate of speed and the accident happened so quickly that it is hard to say, even by the victim, just how it occurred. In fact, the whole thing was done in almost an eye flash. This much is known, however, that the unfortunate young man's hand was drawn into the working parts of the machine by a glove that he wore. Fellow workmen were at his side very shortly after the accident had occurred. He was rushed to the office of Dr. D. G. Wells in this city, where he was given first aid, and th£n taken by motor to the Woodstock hospital,! where the operation was performed.! One can easily imagine the great pain that the young man has been suffering since the accident. Mr. Rothermel is married and had be£n employed at the Hunter plant for about a year.

The flrst and second basket ball squads of the Harvard high school will do battle with the two teams representing McHenry's community high at the local gym next Saturday evening. These teams met at Harvard a few weeks ago, when McHenry heavies were forced to take the short end of the score. However, the boys are out for revenge and going out next Saturday evening to even up matters with the visiting quintet. McHenry ha3 been playing the better game of the two teams and there is no reason why our prides should not register a win when the two fives meet again. ° Come eariy, as that old gym is almost certain to be packed before the games start. LOCAL PASTOR LEAVES FOR VACATION IN SOUTH DAIRYMEN TO DO THE EfifTERTAINING-- SCHOOL ORCHESTRA TO PLAY--REFRESHMENTS So far as the various committer are ^concerned, all arrangements for the holding of a real community night at the McHenry community high school building next Tuesday evening have been completed. The big occasion has been planned and will be put over under the direc- j tion of the McHenry and Ringwoodj units of the Milk Producers' associa tion and, while these organizations, hope to ancK will, in all probability, realize a financial gain, the main ob-l ject is to get the people of the com-1 munity together for an ha&est-to-! goodness good tim^, where the oppor-! tunity will be afforded to greet and visit friends whom you do not see or! have the occasion of visiting fre-1 quently. At the same time there will j be plenty of entertainment thruout the1 entire evening. j An athletic program, which is certain to arouse great interest and en- j thusiasm, will start at 8:00 o'clock and; continue until 9:30. This program will consist of a game of volley ball between teams made up of East and West Side players. Then there will be an indoor baseball game between a team made up and representing rural residents and a team made up and representing the business men of' this city. Teams representing the farmers and business men will also stage a basket ball game. The high school orchestra will play during the athletic games, while the Fox River Four will supply the music for the old-time dances which will follow the athletic program. Dancing on the gymnasium floor will start at 9:30 and continue until midnight. All of the old-time dances will be played, while a number of the lato ones will also be on the evening's pro- i gram so as to make the occasion equally eiQoyable for young and old. | The domestic science class of the! McHenry community high school has also consented to serve refreshments! in the sewing room. Arrangements! have also been made with the school] board to have the entire building open, during the early part of the evening: so as to give those who so wish a chance to inspect the structure. As stated in last week's issue, the net proceeds of the evening will be equally divided between the quarantine associations of McHenry and Ringwood. The officials of the two milk units, together with the members of the various committees, extend a most cordial invitation to the general public to be their guests on this occasion and assure everyone of a most enjoyable time. Remember the date, Tuesday evening, Feb. 17, and b«i there. Tickets, admitting lady and gentleman, will sell at $1.00 each. POSTPONE BASEBALL DANCE UNTIL AFTER EASTER Rev. Chas. S. Nix left Tuesday for Florida, where he expects to spend the next six weeks. Father Nix spent a short vacation period in the south last year, the stay proving so beneficial that he has again decided to make the trip. Father Nix has been troubled considerably during the past few win ters with a stubborn thro&t trouble and finds that the southern clime is about the only thing that gives him relief. He was accompanied to the south by Peter Freund of this city, who also expects to remain there for some weeks. Mr. Freund only recently was able to leave a sick bed and the trip to the south is made in the hope that he will in this manner be able tp regain his strength. CAMP FIRE NOTES On Feb. 9, the Winotoki Car^) Fire girls met for their weekly meeting in their camp room. The girls are still working on the scrap books for the children's hospital in Chicago. Next week the girls will have a valentine party and a valentine box. Those on the committee for the party Are May Justen, Famny Leyinson and Barbara Dittrich. The Mardi Gras, which was to have been held here next week for the benefit of the McHenry Baseball club, has been postponed and will probably be held on or about Easter Monday. Owing to tiie fact that there will be so many things going on next week it was decided by the local boosters for the baseball team to postpone the dance until some more appropriate time. The boosters are now planning a big basket ball game to be staged here providing the local high school gym may be secured. It is the plan to engage two well known semi-pro basket ball teams to stage the game. It might also be of interest to know that McHenry has been practically assured of a semi-pro baseball team for the coming year. In fact, arrangements are now being completed for bringing to this city the same team which preformed for us last season. IL OF C. TO ENTERTAIN THIS EVENING Members in McHenry and vicinity of the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association are in receipt of notices informing them of the regular annua! ir.cct:ng of that body, which is to be held at tKe Hotel Sherman, North Clark and Randolph streets, Chicago, next Tuesday evening, Feb. 17,-starting at 8:00 o'clock.

The bill, as passed by the state legislature, provides for the maiirtenance of the dam and keeping the waters navigable, which will require dredging of channels where necessary as a^ other improvements. The dues for 1925 have been reduced from $10.00 to $5.00 per year and it is the hope of the officials of the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association to include in this year's membership every property owner in the district. Those wko have received notifications of being in arrears with their membership dues may mail their checks to either the secretary, Mr. Mraz, or the treasurer, C. W. Stenger, West McHenry.

Bailey, it will be remembered by local fans, played a whale of a game at first base for McHenry last year and also proved himself a slugger of more than ordinary ability. Stanzak, while not a regular member of the local team, appeared in a McHenry uniform on several occasions. McHenry friends of the two young men join with their Waukegan admirers in wishing them success and hope that they will "make good."

Rehearsals for the comedy have already been started under the direction of Romo Bobb, he having consented to take over this work since Miss Nellie Miller of the McHenry community high school faculty has found it impossible to give it the time it deserves. The play is to be put on by home talent, all of the members of the cast having appeared in such work before and therefore we may rest assured of an excellent production of the piece. The cast is as follows: : ^ Uncle Jimmie, a young bachelor... Robert Green" Bill Haily, his nephew...

The uncle has promised to leave part of his fortune to Bill if he will marry as instructed, and part of it to a prize fighter, Battling Bennie Bozo, if Bennie remains unmarried. Bill's sister, Lil, seeks to have her brother many Mab as the uncle desires and plots to make him tired of his romantic desire for a motion picture bride. So Lil gets her school friend, Patricia, to visit their home in the guise of a motion picture star and Patricia loses litle time in ensnaring the heart of all the boys in the neighborhood. BQl so completely loses his head over her that he takes money from Uncle Jimmie's trunk to make an impression gn the "movie queen." The theft is discovered and Mab, knowing who took the money, pleads guilty to save BQL Patricia adroitly saves the situation, but by this time Bill is not so enamoifed by the dashing visitor and remorsefully begins to appreciate Mab. It developes that while pretending to flirt with the others, Patricia has confessed her identity to Uncle Jimmie and she brings a sudden end to her flirtations by announcing the marriage of the while the other romances are settled in equally satisfactory fashion.
