The village trustees met in regular session with Pres. Olson presiding. Trustees present: Doherty, Knox, Krau.se, Overton and Stoffel. Absent: Coeley. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read ana approved. The following bills were read and approved by the finance committee: Harry Hardy, lbr on streets. .$133.00 John E. Engeln, lbr on streets 133.00 Public Service Co., lighting streets and traffic lights 184.46 John J. Vycital, supplies 1.18 Standard Oil Co., gasoline .... S7.05 128.05 - -Ifcj r.vi1su . McHenry is rapidly becoming the gasoline center of McHenry county. This week another giant 12,000 gallon capacity storage tank is being erected by the Valvoline Oil company, for which John A. Thennes is the local agent. * The tank arrived in McHenry last Saturday and was unloaded from the flat car by George Meyers and his men on Tuesday of this week. The work of lifting same to its cement foundation started Wednesday morning. This is the fourth tank of the kind to be erected by the Valvoline people. Two of the three already in use are being used for the storing of gasoline, while the third is for kerosene. The additional tank just received will also be used for gasoline storage, thus giving the company a total storage capacity of 48,000 gallons. The Standard Oil company, for which H. H. Fay is the local agent, has three huge tanks and the Sinclair company, which only a short time ago began operations in this village and for which M. L. Worts is the agent, has one tank installed. Thus the three companies have a total storage capacity of approximately 96,000 gallons and we doubt if there is another town in the county which can equal it. All of the tanks are located just west of the railroad tracks. Railroad Fares Are Higher The twenty per cent increase in passenger rates on all railroads "became effecitve on Tuesday morning of this week,, since which time a single fare between McHenry and Chicago has been boosted from $1.65 to $1.99. Altho the new 3.6 rate will apply to all single fares between McHenry and all other points, the price of the ten ride bearer and twenty-five ride individual tickets between McHenry and Chicago will remain unchanged. The new rate practically means the restoration of the old rate of years ago, when it took $4.00 to make the round trip between here and Chicago. Sold Bakery Oven The large brick oven, which was discarded at the McHenry bakery last year to make room for the larger oven now in service, was loaded onto Schaefer Bros.' truck on Tuesday morning of this week and taken to Cary, where same will be set up in a bakery which started operations in that village a short time ago. The oven thus .. purchased will replace a smaller one which has been in use in Cary during the past few months. Attend Revue of Fashions Misses Elizabeth and Kathryn Blake, owners of the West Side milnery parlors, went to Chicago Monday morning to be in attendance at the millinery revue of fashions conducted in the gold room 6t the Congress hotel by the Fashion Art League of, America. The latest in spring millinery and gowns were shown and the McHenry young ladies feel that they have been greatly benefitted thru their visit to the show.

The Fulton Mfg. company of Waukegan, manufacturers of phonographs, has gone into the hands of a receiver. Tis said that a number of former residents of Grayslake had considerable money invested in the business. The employes of the St. Charles net and hammock branch factory at Crystal Lake this week started work on a three day schedule. Unsettled business conditions and the cancellation of orders are said to be the cause for the partial shut-down. > "Red's saxophone orchestra" is the name of a new musical organisation just formed at Hebron. The orchestra is made up of Miss Verna Ehle, violinist; Mrs. Inez Adams, pianist; Arthur Latham, saxophone; Alfred Perry, slide . trombone, and Richard Weaver, drums.' George Traut, veteran cidermaker of Grayslake, this year made 600 barrels of the apple juice, beating his previous best record by an even hundred barrels. The nearest he ever came to equalling this record was in 1911, when he "squeezed" out 500 barrels of the juice. Anything that will produce the slightest semblance of a "kick" in these dry times will help. The members of the Senior Girls' honeymoon trip sodality of St Mary's Catholic church responsible position with Proctor & Whiting of this village were tied for third honors with twenty-one each. Two thousand two hundred clay birds were used, 500 of which were thrown out of the traps during "events that took place before the dinner hour. The shoot started about ten o'clock in the morning. In view of the fact that so much interest was manifested at the traps last Sunday, it is quite likely that two or three more such events will be held here during the winter. •, Attend Chicago Weddiflfc , : Mr. and Mrs. J.

The marriage is the culmination of a meeting of the young folks at a home-coming party extended to Mr. Brown at the home of his sister in this village a year ago, Mr. Brown having returned home from France a short time previous.

Nothing but bad weather conditions can keep the largest crowd that has ever crowded a dance floor in McHenry from being present on this occasion, His reports are coming in each day telling of the out-of-town people who are planning to be guests of the dough boys on that evening. The list of prises offered to successful contestants is unquestionably the largest and best ever hung up at a like event in McHenry county and this feature is sure to attract an array at costumes which is sure to surpass anything yet seen in McHenry. From Woodstock, Elgin, Hebron, Wauconda, Crystal Lake and many of the other nearby cities and villages inquiries have been coming in regarding the event for several days past, thus evidencing the unusual interest which has already manifested itself. The McHenry post, thru the several very successful social dances given under its auspices, is establishing a reputation as entertainers, which not only extends over the entire county, but to the neighboring counties as well. Out-of-town dancers who have been entertained in McHenry have been telling their friends about the good times they have enjoyed as guests of the McHenry post of the American Legion and in this manner hundreds of lovers of this sort of amusement are "pulling" for the local doui>h boys. McAndrews' orchestra of Woodstock, which always does its part in making an event of this sort successful, has again been engaged for this occasion. Dance tickets will sell at $1.00 the person with an additional 10c for war tax, making a total of $1.10. The following is only a partial list of the prizes to be awarded.

AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY Here Some Time During Laut Sunday Night An unsuccessful attempt of robbing the McGee A Conway clothing store in this village was made some time during last Sunday night and just what caused the thief, pr thieves as the case may have been, to give up the effort l-pmains a conjecture An entrance to the Heimer building in Centerville,- wherein the clothing firm is located, was effected by a north side window in the rear of the store. E. R. McGee made t^e discovery when he opened up on Monday morning and at once notified Officer Jack Walsh, who immediately started an investigation. That the job was the work of a raw amateur and very likely local talent the McHenry official feels quite sore. First, in breaking the window in gaining entrance the invader muist ha*u created sufficient disturbance to attract attention had anyone been near at hand at the time. Second, instead of'the cijstomary flash light as carried by an expert, the invader used matches when once inside the building. A long handled pair of plyers was found wedged between the door and the casing leading to the store room the following morning and from this it looks as if the night worker either was frightened away or gave up the job in despair. Since Monday it has been learned that the pair of plyers as well as a pick axe were stolen from the railway section house in this village. Officer Walsh is still investigating with the hope that the identity of the guilty one may be known. FACTORY MEN BOWL Terra Cotta Moulders Loot to Made! Makers Monday Night Bowling seems to be coming back into its own in McHenry, the first match game having been rolled at Smithy's alleys on the West Side on Monday evening of this week, when a team from the modeling department of the Terra Cotta factory defeated the moulders of the same institution by a close score in a three-game event.
