The vacation school is going well at ' , i>|he. Methodist Church. The enrollment is good and the boys and girls are - Jetting some time well spent The , ' . j|novement against the evils of summer ^idleness for our boys and girls is growing with great rapidity all over the Stountry. Woodstock is having 300 ->oys and girls under the supervision •">%f trained leadership. Other neigh- ^ - faring cities and towns are doing the tame. Some of the schools last two weeks, and others last up to five weeks. This movement takes another form during the winter school months. For example, in South Bend, Ind., the community unites to support financially education in religion in the publie schools. We get our knowledge of how to do the tasks of life, but these deal in method, and do not take up the moral Bide. Training in religion does not mean training in creed, alone. The place for that is in the church. It does mean training in being honest and unselfish. This age of rapidly growing riches and rapidly spending dollars has many evils that the youthful mind must be trained to meet. We need more vacation schools and moro training in a religious life through all the year. Several of the stores at Hebron now close on Thursday afternoons of each week. They will continue to follow this program during the summer season. r «. I It's the Better Way Two deliveries daily--10 a. rn. and 4 p. m.

H. WATTLES. ftOBERT J. FRISBY. R. I. OVERTON. Board of Local Improvements of th^ City of McHenry, Illinois. rfi.ni - CAME AX? By C. F. Federated Sportsmen rf, The appointment of Wwni Stratton, at present chief gaftw fish warden, as director of tkff partment of conservation to taloa feet July 1, was announced by Governor Small. This selection of Mr. Stratton is the>; climax of a remarkable advance in " * conservation, which has been made during Governor Small's administer tion. , Starting as a "deputy game warden under former Governor Lowden in ^ 1916, Mr. Stratton has proven his fit- " -f ness for the important position to '?1 which he has been appointed. His ex- vl cellent record during the four years " * as a deputy warden brought a well de- lISS served advancement to the position of chief game and fish warden in 1921. Mr. Stratton's record as head of the , N „ division of game and fish since that . v; time has justified beyond any question 4' his appointment to carry on his program of constructive conservation as ?*f.., f. director of the department of conservation, which replaces the old division^. of game and fish. ; It ^impossible to recount all of the'* ! ^ remarkable records made by Mr. Stratton, but sofne of the outstanding ^.1 achievements of his administration as »* chief game and fish warden are: A complete recodification of the."**• g a m e a n d f i s h l a w s o f t h e s t a t e ; t h e C establishment of 6 fish hatcheries and 5^*-V 'J game farms; the distribution of more 1^ ^ than 100 carloads of fish last year as - j - compared with only 30 cars the first • « year; the purchase and distribution of : more than 50,000 game bird eggs and 10,000 adult quail; and an increase in ^ the fines collected from $16,000 in 1921. to $24,000 for the year ending July 1, • 1925. ' ' J, y Sportsmen, trappers and commer- ? e cial fishermen all are delighted that "Bill" Stratton, as he is affectionately . , known to all his host of friends, has received this recognition to which he is so clearly entitled. But another and ^ probably the outstanding reason for * 5 their approval of this appointment is ^ that Mr. Stratton is not only a real practical conservationist, but is a . - "sqyare-shooter," a regular fellow. 1 » f| ADDITIONAL PERSONALS : Mrs. Helen Welsh of Chicago spent | a few days last week with her niece, 1 ' Mrs. J.
