The laying of gas ma'ns at Lake Geneva, Wis., is to start within the ,: course of the next two weeks. The Grayslake Fire department last week contributed $55 to the tornado sufferers in the southern part of the state. "the voters of Richmond anticipate a real, hot battle at. the coming spring election. Two complete tickets are in the field. Dr. J. A. Ross of Wauconda is nursing a broken ankle, sustained one day last week when he stepped onto a stone in his yard at his home. ' The Department of Public Works and buildings will receive bids on section 18-A, route 22, village of Algonquin, on Friday of next week, April 17. The de4ication services at the new St. Paul church held recently at Palatine was attended by two thousand people. The collection amounted to $1,- 344.QJT A new bus line is now in operation between Elkhorn, Whitewater and Ft. Atkinson, Wis. A sixteen-passenger bus is making two trips daily between the points mentioned. , Work of rebuilding two bridges over Kishwaukee river, on Route 23 north ' of Marengo, has been started. The structures will be of reinforced concrete with a twenty-two foot roadway. Dr. E. F. Shaffer of Grayslake has disposed of his 80-acre farm to a Mr. Phelps of Lake Forest. The tract has a frontage on routes 20 and 21, both of which have been improved with cement. By the use of a pedometer it has been ascertained that F. Boutelle, a mail carrier at Lake Geneva, Wis., walks twenty miles each day in the performance of his duties. At this rate he travels 120 miles a week oi more than 6,000 miles a year. Wouldn't call that a "soft" job. Committees composed of interested citizens of Grayslake, Fox Lake, Lake Villa and Round Lake, are still at work on the proposed community high school district to care for pupils residing in these territories. It is the hope of these men to establish such a district in the very near future after which a school will be built. The location, in all probability, will be Grayslake. Now that Richmond has been assured of the erection of a poultry receiving and cold storage plant, raisers of poultry ip that locality are being urged to increase their production at least 100 per cent. E. G. Shinner, the president of the company, which is to establish a plant at Richmond, gives out the information that his company will be in a position to buy all of the poultry that can be raised for miles around. Work on the building will start shortly and should be ready for occupancy early this summer. The Richmond Gazette blossomed out last week as an all home print sixcolumn, eight-page paper. A very de- • cided improvement over the old, ready print paper that has been published at Richmond for nearly a half century. Editor H. B. Gaston, a hustling, wideawake newspaper man, is giving the readers of the Gazette one of the newsiest and best papers that the vil- • lage has ever had. We congratulate Brother Gaston upon his enterprise and sincerely hope that his efforts along the line of modern journalism will be appreciated by his family of readers. Joseph, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Drews of Lake Geneva, died of injuries received a week ago last Saturday when he was dragged across a field by a horse which he had lead to a watering trough. The lad had led the animal by a rope attached to a halter. While the norse wa» drinking the boy wound the rope around his body while he proceeded to play with a golf ball. Suddenly the animal took fright and started across the field at break-neck speed. The boy's father and brother, who were in the barn at the time, started out to « rescue the lad but reached him too late. His skull had been fractured and several ribs broken. Four occupants of a Revere sport model touring: car, owned by Samuel Jacobs of Chicago, narrowly escaped serious, if net fatal, injuries one morning last week, when the driver of the car evidently was traveling at a high cement road near Round Lake. The car, evidently was traveling at a high rate of speed, as instead of making the turn at White's crossing, west of Round Lake, the machine plunged straight ahead, going thru two wire fences before it was stopped at the St. Pail] railroad crossing. All of the occupants of the car were badly cut by flying glass. They were taken to the office of Dr. Shaffer at Grayslake where their wounds were dressed. The machine was quite badly damaged. DAIRY CENSUS OF DISTRICT TO BE MADE BY MILK PRODUCERS' ASSOCIATION . The' Milk Producers' association has started taking a dairy census of the entire Chicago district and is asking the co-cperation of all owners of al) dairy eattle. A questionnaire is being put out, which the owners of herds are asked to fill out. This questionnaire is to be placed in the hands of canvassers or census takers, who will call upon every dairy farmer and owner for thie information asked on it. The form of the questionnaire is given below and the association asks that every owner of a herd who sees this will at once fill out answers to all questions that apply to him and leave it in his home so that the census takei may find it ready for l^|m to copy. This census taking is no small job and anything which may be done to expediate the getting from farm to farm will be appreciated by the association officers. The questionnaire follows: County »*. Township ..^4. Name .*,... Address ; Tenant or Owner ... Owner's Address " i . . . . . . How many Head of Cattle,.*,........ Who Owns Them . ; How Many Dairy Cows Have You T. B. Tested Your Herd ... . How Many Reacted <*"• What Were The Average Returns .... How Soon Did You Get Your Money ..

HOPEFUL THAT SCOUT DRIVE WILL BRING $4,000 MRS. MJLCONWAV ANSWERED LAST SUMMONS FRIDAY MORNING Acoording to the very latest information as received from the various sections of McHenry county, the county chairman, C. W. Stenger, is hopeful that the $4,000 goal will be reached very shortly. Most of the cities and towns have raised their alloted quota. Woodstock is one of the placcs which has failed to raise its quota altho word from the workers there is to the effect that they are going to keep right on until this very much desired result has been obtained. A total of ed. The city ofThetaointaointaoinnn about $3600 has been thus far subscribed. The city of McHenry, as usual, made her full quota and then some. McHenry's quota was $275 and up-todate $344 has been subscribed. Every dollar of this amount came in voluntarily and without solicitation. CITY MAY PURCHASE . ELECTRIC TRAFFIC SIGNALS The city council today (Thursday) received estimates on the cost of electric traffic signals and as a result one or more of these traffic posts may be purchased. The posts the city council members have in mind are of the same type as those used in many of the cities and towns all over the country. These signals work automatically and may be regulated so as to suit any condition. The posts have a series of three lights, green, yellow and red and every automobile driver in the country is or should be familiar with them. McHenry needs some sort of a signal system. The city may also purchase a number of the smallef "mushroom" lights. THREE NEW HOMES ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE Building activities within the city and community are on the boom. At this time there are two new homes are under construction within the city limits. Patrick Cleary is havof his residence on Waukegan street of his residednce on Waukegan street and Dr. N. J. Nye is having a home built on a lot on the Jacob Bishop estate. This property, it will be recalled, was purchased by Dr. Nye more than a year ago. Thos. McLaughlin is also having a new home erected on the McLaughlin property near the bridge, tast of Fox River. N. H. PETESCH WILL ENGAGE IN REAL ESTATE N. H. Petesch, who a shot time since disposed of his drug business in this city, has rented office quarters in the John A. Stilling tire shop on Pearl street and is now actively engaged in the real estate business in this city. Mr. Petesch, thru his various connections in* the past, has gained considerable experience along this line of worK and also knows farm, city and summei resort property values. If you have any property which you intend to list for sale or rent, Mr. Petesch would be very pleased to serve you. EASTER FLOWERS All colors and varieties.

HIGHLY ESTEEMED RESIDENT OF COMMUNITY PASSED AWAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS In the hush of the early dawn on Friday, April 3, the Angel of Death entered the home of Michael Conwasj and silently, gently, called to her He&venly home the devoted wife and mother. Although in poor health for some time her sudden passing away was received as a shock by her relatives and the citizens of this community. All that loving hands could do had been done for her and peacefully resignedly her spirit passed to the God who gave her, and in that home from whifch she has vanished in bodily pres ence the influence of her noble life will work its deathless mission. Elizabeth Knox was born at Terra Cotta, May 17, 1866. She was united in marriage with Michael Conway on June 9, 1889. Their marriage was blessed with eight children: Ray of McHenry, Wai ter, a student in Theology at Holy Cross College, Washington D. C., who answered the sad summons and assisted in the solemn services which were offered for the repose of his mother's soul; Marion (Sister Marie Gratia) of Detroit, Mich.; Irene of Elgin and Eleanor, Florence and LeRoy, who live at home; Orville, who died in infancy. These with her beloved husband are left to motion her loss. Also one grandchild, Betty Jane Conway. Always a member of the Catholic Church she found a sweet balm for her suffering and received the last sacraments of the church shortly before her death. She, who had given two children to God in religion, must have realized in a special manner the innumerable blessings derived through her belief. She was also a member of St. Patricia court, W. C. O. F. The funeral took place at St. Parick V church on Monday morning. An unusually large gathering of relatives and friends were present to pay their last tribute of respect to one who had endeared herself to them by her beautiful life, and? her patience in suffering. Solemn requiem mass was celebrated by the pastor, Rev. M. J. McEvoy. The officers of the mass were Rev. John Hackett, also of St. Patrick's, who acted as deacon; Walter Knox Conway as subdeacon. Rev. Chas. Nix of St. Mary's master of ceremonies, Rev. H. E. Ouimet, Rev. "Kios. Walsh, of Elgin and Rev. Leo Keenan of Dundee were present in the sanctuary. The sermon was preached by Rev. Fr. McEvoy, who spoke of how Holy Mother, the Church watches over her children from birth until death and whose prayer for them after death are constantly ascending to the Throne of God. The deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband and children in this, their time of trial. Though a cloud of sadness hangs over your home, a happy joyful day without a cloud will some day come for you. That day will be when you meet your ioved one in Heaven and in its clear and eternal shining the darkness of these few hours will quickly vanish and shall be as if they had never been. At twilight in life's long and dreary day, When things of earth to her were growing dim, God sent His Angel down to take away, Her humble soul, and bring it bade - to Him. ^ He knoweth best. He sent much pain to her 1, That she might bear her cross as He had done. And well she bore it. We, who know her best, Now know the crown of glory she has won. Her life well spent was centered in Thy heart, Faith was her watchword, hope and love her plea; She is not dead, but. only gone before, She waits for us in Heaven, safe 4 with Thee. Oil may that blessed soul of hers soon be Among the saints with God in paradise; To live and love for all eternity Beloved by Him with love that never dies. FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH 'The Resurrection of Life" will be the topic next Sunday morning. MrB. Cox of Chicago will be the soloist. Sunday school will not meet until 10:30 and the children will be expected to remain thru the church services. A special invitation has also been extended to the members of the McHenry Masonic lodge and their families. The Masons will meet at their hall at 10:30 and march from there in a body to the church. A most cordial invitation is extended to everyone. Lambert J. Case. MARDI GRAS MONDAY EVENING NET PROCEEDS TO BE TURNED INTO BASEBALL FUND Everything is all set for the big Mardi Gras to take place at the Polly Prim tavern here next Monday evening for the benefit of the McHenry baseball club. The members of the various committees, appointed at a public meeting hCTcl at the McHenry Pleasure club room some time ago, have all responded to the call for work and as a result of this harmonious action, Indications point to a most enjoyable and successful event. All of the various attractions, usually found at events of this nature, will be there and with favorable weather conditions the Polly Prim should entertain one of its largest crowds next Monday night. The various games and booths, together with dancing to the strains of music as furnished by Al. Noonan's Polly Prim orchestra should provide plenty of entertainment for all. The management wishes once again to impress upon the minds of the pub lie that the event is to be conducted as a high class affair. Nothing that will in any way detract will be tolerated. So come yourself, bring your lady friend, your wife, mother, sister. In fact, bring the whole family. They will be well entertained. While costumes will probably predominate, the committee will not insist that these be worn in order to give one the privileges of the dancing floor. Everybody, regardless of whether or not they appear in costume may dance to their heart's content. There will, however, be sold at the door, caps, streamers and serpentines to those wishing to purchase them. Reports have it that quite a large number of tickets have already been sold while the distribution of tickets which entitle the holder to a chance on winning $100 in gold has also been quite general. The entire net proceeds of the event will be turned over into a fund which is-to insure a baseball club for our city this summer. - A cordial invitation is extended to everyone. Dance tickets, $1.00; wai tax, 10 cents; total $1.10. "THE COUNTRY COUSIN" BY HOME TALENT \T STt PATRICK'S HALL APRIL 13-tt PROVED--EXPECT TO FINISH BOTH JOBS IN RECORD TIME Work on McHenry's first paving improvement was started on Friday of last week and judging from the progress that is being made the contractors should experience very little trouble in completing the two districts within the stipulated time, which means that Main street and Riverside Drive will be improved with modem pavement within the course of the next three, months. McGucken & VanderSHeyden of Milwaukee, the successful bidders for the paving jobs here, sent their men 'to this city last Thursday and the following day saw them actively engaged on the improvement. Work was first started on Front street where the trenches were dug for the sewer water pipes. This water will find an outlet in the mill pond, the pipes carrying the flow north on Front and thence across Waukegan street to the flats on the southwest end of the pond. . Owing to the fact that a delay in the delivery of the pipes was ejyierienced these trenches, as also those leading from Main street, north on El- j gin Road to Boone creek, were a'lowedl ™,r,fs ^ve prevailed upon Dr. D. G. to remain open longer than was first! We"s> who 18 completing his seccontemplated. However, the delivery ! ond ronsecutlve JW* as mayor of of pipe was made on Tuesday and since then the work of laying them has been going at a very satisfactory rate of speed. TWO FILE FOR MAYOR OFFICE ALDERMANIC CONTEST IN SECOND WARD PAVING-JOB STARTS M'GUCKEN GANG WENT TO WORK FRIDAY MORNING But two contests are to be waged at the annual city election which is sched- MAIN STREET FIRST TO BE"IM-*uled for Tuesday, April 21. Quite contrast from the usual run of affairs at this season of the year. Why this seemingly lack of interest should prevail this spring no onseems able to explain. The fact remains, however, that the same spirit which has marked many a village and city battle in the past is sadly missing this year and unless the two contests will do it, McHenry voters wili this year witness a very tame election as compared to those as staged during the past few years. , One of the contests will be for thcoffice of mayor. F. H. Wattles and John Stoffel are the candidates. The other contest will be between H. C. Hughes and P. W. Frett for alderman of the second ward. F. H. Wattles and H. C. Hughes, together with Peter J. Doherty, candidate for alderman in the first, and Robert J. Frisby, the third ward candidate for alderman, Ray F. Conway, candidate for city clerk, N. H. Petesch, candidate for city treasurer, have fileti under the heading of citizen's ticket while John Stoffel and Peter W. Freti will run as the tax payers' candidates.

The Little Symphony orchestra, un der the direction of Mr. Tallmadge of the high school, will furnish the incidental music. Tickets all reserved may be procured at the E. R. McGee store. McHENRY COUPLE TO ADOPT AN "ORPHAN OF THE STORM' While one of the gangs has been busily engaged in digging these trenches and laying the pipes anothei has been no less active on Main street, which thorofare has been torn up and is now being brought down to its proper level. The earth thus removed is being hauled to the grounds of the new community high school where it is being used to very good advantage in filling up the low spots. Considerable of the material is also being dumped onto the Robt. Patzke premises which lots lie several feet lower than the street level. It is expected that the curb-building gang will go to work within the course of the next week or so. As stated in these columns in previous issues, the Main street paving will be put in first and then the Riverside Drive. May Also Pave Green Street We understand that sufficient encouragement has been lent to the proposed Green street paving Improvement to justify a public hearing on the matter and which will very likely be held in two weeks. This district takes in that part of Green street starting at the intersection of Green and Elm, thence southeasterly to connect up with the Main street paving. iThe Wells Engineering company of Aurora has already made a survey of ond consecutive yciur as this city, to again make the race for the office, he could not be induced to do so. One of his reasons for refusing to become a candidate lies in the fact that he expects to spend more or less of his time away from McHenry during the coming summer. Right now he. is planning a visit to his mother and sister at Montreal, Can., and will later on visit his son' Glenn, a student at a university at Berkeley, Calif. Peter J. Doherty, who is unopposed, will be re-elected as alderman in the first ward as will Robert J. Frisby, who will succeed himself in t^p third ward. Peter M. Justen, who is the outgoing alderman in the second ward, has declined to again become a candidate for the office. Mr. Justen has found that his business interests will not allow him to give the office the time which it rightfully deserves and therefore will not be a candidate for re-election.. There isn't a candidate for the office of police magistrate. Earl Gorman, the present holder of the office, is not up for re-election. TWO BROTHERS KILLED ON WOODSTOCK CROSSING "An orphan of the storm," a little tot who lost his parents in the recent tornado, may come to McHenry, as the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Worts if efforts being made by Radio Station WLS of the Sears-Roebuck agricultural foundation prove successful. M. Block of the station's staff is now in the afflicted area making a survey of conditions in which the orphaned waifs find themselves with a view of bringing them in touch with good homes. More than 200 adoption requests and $190,000 in money has been received by WLS since word of the terrible catastrophe of two weeks ago was first broadcasted, it'is stated. ONLY 113 VOTES CAST AT TOWN ELECTION There being no contest the annual town election as held on Tuesday proved dull and uninteresting. A total of 113 votes were cast as follows: First precinct, 12; second, 39; third, 62. As the result of the election Stephen H. Freund was re-elected as supervisor of McHenry for another term. Wm. J. Welch and E. C. Hawley were re-elected justices and Jack Walsh and Wm. Kelly, aa constables. Oscar and Arthur Pacey, brothers, fifty-three and forty-five respectively were instantly killed at the Lumber street crossing at Woodstock about 5:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week when an automobile in which they were riding wps struck by a fast express.

In other towns where the paving improvement has been installed, the business sections have been cleared of poles and wires and what, has been done in other places can be accomplished in McHenry. It is our understanding that the telephone and electric light companies are always willing to co-operate in bringing about this condition. Estimates have also been asked for on proposed systems of ornamental street lights for our various business sections. THE MOTHERS' CLUB On Friday, April 3, 1925, the Mothers' club met at the home of Mrs. Geo. Johnson on Main street. It was the first meeting of the club since its organization and the election of officers. Mrs. A. H.

McHENRY TO OPEN SEASON ON SUNDAY, APRIL 26 SPEECH |S INSPIRING FRED HIGH DELIVERS FINE MBSAGE BEFORE CLUB •=% ;-- ' ' '- jM TWENTY-SEVEN MEMBERSHIPS TO COMMUNITY CLUB TAKEN IN FRIDAY EVENING Fred High of Chicago, a community organizer of no mean ability, appeared as the speaker of the evening at an open meeting of the McHenry Community club as heid at the K. of C. last Thursday evening. ^ The speaker's presence and his my. able talk along the line of community building brought forth more real enthusiasm than has manifest Itself at •. similar meeting in many a day. > Because of the fact that the organic zation has been'a'lowed to die out to *' a certain extent, the new officers of the club are confronted with the proposition of rebuilding the membership, and thereby making it possible to carry out the work for which the body was first organised. Such a pleasant and much desired situation cannot possibly be brought about without the undivided support and co-operation of the citizens of thl# city and community and therefore'the newly elected officers are setting forth extra efforts to bring in the member- f ship and thus make it possible for the' ' ; organization to function as a live-wilt * : club should. President A- E. Nye and the members of the board of directors had the membership idea in mind when thoy engaged Mr. High as the speaker and that they made no mistake in their selection everyone will tell you whb turned out and listened to this very interesting talk. Mr. High has spent a great part of his time in this sort qf work and can give endless numbers eif actual experiences he has gone thift during the past several years. Quill frequently the speaker used stories to bring out his point, this humor no^ only doing much to hold the attention ^ of his listeners, but also assisted very .! materially in his illustrations. At the conclusion of Mr. High's talk, membership blanks were handed oat to those assembled with the result thsg twenty-seven of these were returned along with a year's dues of $5.00. Th» * membership drive is to be continued ift the hope of bringing no less than 1Q§ of the citizens of this city and coofe munity into the fold within the course - of the next few weeks.
