DEATH WINS IN BREATH BATTLE Afcert FHek Expire* at lt:12 Last Thrriiy Night After 1M Hoar Fight ( Funeral services for Alfred Frick, 22, until recently employed in the Merchandise Sales Department of the Public Service company of Northern 111 inois at Park Ridge, were held from the home of his parents in Crystal Lake, Sunday afternoon, March 13. at 2 o'clock. Rev. R. W. Putman of the Crystal Lake Methodist Episcopal church officiated. Burial was in the Union cemetery, Crystal Lake. The services were attended by scores of Public Service company employes from Evanston and Park Ridge as well as a number of company officials from Chicago. Six young men all of whom had aided Frick in his gallant fight for life, were pallbearers. Frick's case sprang into national prominence when it became known that he was being kept alive by arlificiai respiration administered by fellow employes of the Public Service company, (who are trained regularly in resucitation and First Aid methods) following paralysis of his diaphram Sunday morning, March 6. On Saturday he had become seriously ill and was taken to the St. Francis hospital \n Evanston, where his illness was diagnosed as Landry's paralysis. At 10 o'clock Sunday morning he leased breathing, but was kept alive for 108 hours and 12 minutes by artificial respiration. More than fifty employes of the Public Service Co., organized in shifts and working in pairs, were constantly beside the stricken man, comoiessing and releasing his lungs in regular cadence similar to that of natural respiration. Thursday night, however, it become evident that Frick would be unable to survive the paralytic stroke, although until that time physicians had believed it possible that his remarkable endurance would carry him through. His' death occurred at 12 minutes after 10, Tuesday night, March 10. WEEKLY EXCHANGE!

McHaary State Beak. 40-tf WAUOONDA PUTTING IN IMPROVEMENTS Neighboring Village In Lake County Making Bid for Permanent Population The /Wauconda village board, presided over by R. C. Kent, has taken action on the question of water supply for its recently annexed territory to the north and east of Bangs like, now entirely within the village limits. The 860 acre area receiving direct benefit from this contemplated improveiAent ts- almost entirely sob divided and approximately one-third has been sold to Chicago people for summer homesites by the Estate of H. E. Maiman of Wauconda and by Edward W. Turk & Co., of Chicago. Both of these subdividers appeared before the Wauconda authorities to express approval of the action. Tentative plans call for the drilling of a ten-inch well, which will deliver 125 gallons a minute into an elevated gravity pressure tank and for the laying of approximately 9,000 feet of eight-inch main and 86,000 feet of six-inch main. The total cost of the improvement is estimated at $150,000. The board of local improvements of Wauconda has also passed resolutions for the paving of Main street. (Rand road) through the outskirts of town to a width of 40 feet and through the business district to a width of 54 feet, estimated to cost $56,000. These improvements, according to a man actively interested in the district, have been undertaken in spite of the great cost because the Wauconda citizenry has decided that its greatest asset is Bangs Lake around which it hopes to develop a surburban residential area, combining the natural beauty of Lake Geneva and the accessibility of the North Shore. This step is in line with the attitude now taken by all the summer resort communities in Lake and" McHenry counties, which until recently made little or no effort to build up si permanent or year-round population, depending entirely upon the summer colonists for their prosperity. In these villages little or no paving was done and sewerage systems covered relatively small areas. Water supplies, too, were usually inadequate. In spite of their lethargy, they prospored, activity being directly proportionate to that of the Greater Chicago district, from which tjieir summer visitors were recruited. As a result, primarily, of ,a growing interest on the part of outndo investors in recent years, however, residents of the communities have begun to take steps toward installation of permanent improvements and the building up of substantial local communities. Just south of Wauconda on the Rand road is Lake Zurich, whose citizens voted 8 to 1 in favor of constructing a modern sewerage disposal plant and an outfall sewer to cost approximately $40,000. Lake Zurich is especially fortunate in having within its limits two lakes, Lake Zurich and Echo Lake, the first natural and the second artificial. constructed last year under the supervision of the James Anderson company. It is to give adequate sewerage to the residences on the shores of these lakes that the village board, of which August Froelich is president, hn«- advocated the construction of the new disposal plant. James Anderson company. Inc., are in charge of the engineering work both in Wauconda and Lake Zurich. Come and see the beautiful display of Spring Hats. Saturday, March 26.

Earl Broughton, of Wauconda, was accidnetly shot in the left foot on Saturday morning, when a revolver he was holding in his hand suddenly discharged. At the time of the accident, Earl was showing the gun to Arthur Stoxten and demonstrating the Rafety lock on the weapon. So sure was he that the revolver contained no cartridges, Earl pointed it towards the floorboard of his Ford coupe, in which he and Art were sitting, and pulled the trigger. Immediately there was a loud report and Earl knew that he had beeq shot. He was taken at* once to the office of a local physician where, upon examination the latter discovered the bullet had pierced the left foot, just grazing the bone. McHenry county now has a new bank at Fox River Grove.

N._A.« Present At Celebration Fox River Valley Camp, Royal Neighbors of America, observed its twenty-first birthday anniversary on Tuesday evening, March 15, at the Modem Woodman hall. The Royal Neighbors and their husbands were invited to attend and a good crowd of about seventy members and Visitors were present. The anniversary program was opened with the presentation of the flag and after an address of welcome by the Oracle, the beautiful large birthday cake, which occupied the place of honor upon the altar, was decorated with twenty-one candles by the officers of the society. v Mrs. Etta Wattles gave a very interesting history of the local camp at this time and the names of the charter members were read and the grand honors given in remembrance of those deceased. Four charter members were present, Mrs. Leah Brown, Mrs. Martha Page, Mrs. Calla Perkins and Mrs. Etta Wattles. The history of the Royal Neighbors society was given by Mrs. Lillian Sayler. Mrs. E. E. Bassett and Mrs. Lester Page sang a duet appropriate to the occasion and the Melody Masters entertained with several well rendered selections. They also played for dancing, which was much appreciated and enjoyed by those present. Many of the important events connected with the Royal Neighbors society occurred in the month of March. It was thirty-two years ago in March 18f,5 that it received its charter as a fraternal-beneficial society, then in March 1906, just twenty-one years ago Fox River Valley Camp was organized. In March, 1918, the Juvenile department was founded and we recall with sadness that on March 6, 1926, the Supreme Oracle, Alice Gilli'and passed away at her home at Rock Island. She was one of the first 500 members necessary for the society to secure its charter and she gave thirty-one years of service in the interest of the Royal Neighbors In order to comprehend more fully the magnitude and wonderful growth of the Royal Neighbors it is necessary to glance backward to November 28, 1889,- and picture a small band of women gathered together to form Social Society. These pioneer women were relatives of the members of the Modern Woodman Camp at Council Bluffs, Iowa, ard continued to meet every month, and decided to make the society peimanant. The society, of Royal Neighbors of America, was created on April 25. 1890, with Miss Huff as the first Supreme Oracle. The society was chartered under the laws of Illinois as a fraternal benefit society in March 1895, on December 31 the record department reported 482,- 489 beneficial members, 75,923 social members and 64,832 juvenile members making a total membership of 623,- 184. 7,724 subordinate camps are located in the forty-four states in which the soc,v-tv writes insurance. - The Royal Neighbors of America is now the largest woman's fraternal insurance society in the world and is officered entirely by women. The society is not operated for profit, beinsr Messrs. Monear and Geier Will Open Room In Basement , of Carey Building Now Going Up A# agteement was reache<f "fcwrt week between Watler E.

Monear and Geier are given a lease covering a period of years which gives the renters the use of a large portion ofthe basement as a bowling alley and billard and pool room. The. lessees have been working out plans and details for the new amsuement center for some weeks past and as a result of their efforts along this line the blue prints for the layout are now ready- Thus it will be seen that the work of building the alleys and installation of the tables and the other equipment can get under way just as soon as the building construction has advanced to such a stage as to allow same.

It seems a shame that careless drivers should sro beyond th** curb and ovef onto the lawns between the street line and the sidewalks. Our streets are u ide and provide plenty of room for motor vehicles to turn without destroying the banks. It costs a lot of money and a large amount of labor to keep these stretches in good condition. We believe that all drivers of cars or trucks, when they read this appeal, will refrain from this destruction of the grassy plots and help make McHenry the beautiful little city that it should be. which gives ample room for the display of the. large stock of jewelry and releases other room in the store for the fast growing radio and music business.
