FOUR BOYS INJURED Ferd Car Turned Turtle Last . Sunday Evening Four boys were quite painfully injured when a Ford car in which they were riding turned turtle last Sunday evening. The car, owned by August Rossman and being driven by his son, Richard, was going north on the Johnsburg road when the driver suddenly lost control of the machine as it hit the sand at the foot of BucVs hill, about «nc-half mile north of this village. Before the driver had time to regain control the machine tipped, throwing its occupants to the ground with considerable force. Luckily, however, the machine did not fall on the victims and this fact alone probably saved them from more serious injuries. In the car at the time of the accident, besides the driver, were Ernst Barbian, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Barbian; Harold Miller, son of* Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miller, and Carl Brefeld, son of Mrs. Christine BrefeldrVhe driver escaped with a bad slash on one of his lower limbs, Ernst Barbian with a badly lacerated lower lip, Harold Miller with a fracture of a bone in his right ankle and Carl Brefeld with a slight fActure of the pelvic. The boy|, when picked up by Joe Regner, who happened along in his car about the time of the accident, were in a dazed condition, evidencing that the car »ras going at a good rate of speed just before striking the sand. They were brought to McHenry and taken to the office of Dr. N. J. Nye, where they were given medical attention. All of the boys are again up and around, altho two of theni are navigating with, tlfe aid of crutches. The car was considerably damaged.

They can long enough for this community to safely recommend them to anybody. build a modern school building. I be- Last week a powerful super-photo- j lieve that a new building must be play was shown, depicting the story; ready by September, 1922, if this high Investigate* flhil Oar Community High School Quarters Inadequate A. W. Clevenger, assistant high school visitor from the University of Illinois, recently visited this village and inspected our community high school. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether the. high school is doing sufficiently good work to remain on the accredited list of the university. Inspections are usually made every two years or oftpner if the university deems it necessary. Mr. Clevenger expressed himself as well pleased with the teaching force and the work that was being done, also the general school spirit of the students, but was not pleased with the crowded conditions in the elementary school nor the present quarters of the high school and its meagre equipment. Before leaving the visitor left the following recommendations, which will be presented to the community high school board for its consideration: Recommendations 1. Building a new modern building which will provide for a more modern program of instruction. I believe that you should provide for vocational training, including such studies as home economics, probably a three year course should be provided; one year of cooking, one year of (sewing and the third year being a home making course; agriculture, one year of animal husbandry, one year of agronomy or crop production and one year of farm management; commercial work and physical education.' As a part the physical education a good gymnasium is essential. Many communities are building a gymnasium which can also be used a£ an Auditorium, Certainly there mhst bf a place for community, meeti^gs^^ Note.--From the standpoint of the accrediting committee of the University of Illinois the present arrangement is regarded as only a temporary one and it will not be satisfactory as a permanent arrangement. I am recthat extension of credit AMERICAN LEGION "CARNIVAL Big Three Night Event to Be Held Here Next Wetek of a great conflict between two titanic forces of destruction, human greed and ambition overriding the laws of God and man. The Transgressor conveyed its lesson on socialism in a great way. It was a story of dramatic , power as. strong as any story ever depicted. Next Wednesday something lighter, an exciting railroad story, "Whispering Smith," will more than satisfy everyone. Those who have read Frank Spearman's popular novel will find in this picture film all they like in school is to remain on the accredited list. In fact, I have every reason to know that the school would be dropped if the present arrangement is to continue after the next school year. Modern buildings are being built all over the state. This community cannot afford to take a backward step at this time. 2. The outside toilets are not satisfactory at all and tWey should not be tolerated. The science equipment is very meagre. For biology you need at the famous book, especially the un- least one compound microscope for selfishness of Whispering Smith, and .every five pupils. You now have one 1$ ^•^7 V' • fe- •Ca beautiful love story that rises above the ordinary. In addition to this winning five reel drama will come the three reel comedy "When Max Comes Across," a sure cure for the bluets, without a dull moment in it. Notice ad on rear page. One long show, starting at 8:00 p. m. Operating Near McHenry That hold-up men are operating in this vicinity is seen in, the report of an incident which occurred on the public highway between this village and Woodstock a short time ago. Joe Moran and Ed. Quist of Byron, 111., were on their way to Waukegan when the hold-up occurred. Mr. Quist was driving and was startled when a couple of men jumped upon the running board of the car. He was struck behind the ear with a pistol and the blow so dazed him that he lost control of the car, with the result that the machine ran off the road and turned turtle. The bandits then succeeded in robbing their victims, getting away with over $100 in money and an overcoat. Instances of this nature are becoming more numerous right along and those in the habit of driving at night should be on their guard as there is no telling | for nineteen. The physics equipment is not adequate, especially in electrical apparatus. 4. You have made a good beginning for library. I believe that approximately $1000 will put this in good condition provided that $150 or $200 is appropriated for the library each year thereafter. There is no public library in this town'and so the school must 'make up for that. A great many books of first class fiction should be added and a number of good pafifrs and magazines taken. 5. The report has come to me that the board, is contemplating a cut in salaries for teachers. By far the most important part of the school are the teachers. You could have the best building and equipment in the state and yet have a poor school if poor teachers are employed. I know of but two boards of education, including this one, which are planning to reduce salaries. Can this community money by employing A. W. Clevenger, S. Visitor, University afford to save poor teachers? Assistant ,H. of Illinois. ' * Firat Uxtaftsattat Church Why is there a controversy over the question of miracles?

John M. Grimes, Minisfft Alumni Meeting * An important meeting of the McHenry Alumni association will take place at the McHenry public school May As matters of The various committees of the McHenry post of the American Legion are hard at work preparing for the big three night carnival which is to be held under the auspices of the McHenry post at their hall in this village on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of next week. May 19, 20 and 21. Never before has an mdoor event of sueh proportions been attempted in McHenry. The American Legion hall on these three nights will present a lively scene. Everything will be there to, attract and entertain you. One of the big features of the event will be the giving away of a "fully equipped Ford touring car. Tickets on this car have been on sale for some time past, late reports indicating that at least 1,000 if not 1,500 of these paste boards will have been sold before the closing of the contest, which takes place on Saturday night, May 21, at which time the winner of the automobile yrill be decided. The sAle of tickets on the machine is already rapidly advancing toward the thousand mark. Another feature', which will create no less interest and enthusiasm, will be the popularity contest, in which the young lady receiving the highest num ber of votes will be presented with a beautiful ring. The winner of this contest will also be decided on the iast night of the big doings. The attractions at the carnival will be many and varied. The big free attraction will be Lester (Kid) Bacon, who will'give exhibitions in the art of bag puhching. Kid Bacon two years a^o traveled with the Hagenback- Wallace circus and drew the crowd wherever the big show pitched its tents. One of the feature attractions will be a novelty direct from White City, Chicago's popular amusement retort. "What Is It" is thq^manner the dough boys have taken to advertise this big attraction and to get in on the secret one must necessarily visit the show. Concessions too numerous to mention have already been taken up and the visitors to the carnival will find plenty of opportunity to load up with useful as well as ornamental articles and novelties. There will be continuous dancing each night with a five piece comedian jazz orchestra furnishing the music. The big carnival will come to a close with a Mardi Gras. Hundreds of balloons, horns, clackers, serpentines and bushels of confetti will predominate and this feature, together with the awarding of the automobile and ring, should attract a crowd that will pack the big hall to the doors. The indoor carnival is not new to the people of this county as the Marengo Legion boys put one on in that city only a short time ago, and which was attended by a number of our young people. McHenry's carnival will be put on in about the same manner as that held at Marengo, only on a much larger scale. The members of the McHenry post are preparing to entertain record breaking crowds, as the big doings have bee® more widely advertised than any event ever held in the village. Read the big display advertisement which appears elsewhere in this ifesue and then make arrangements whereby you will be able to be in attendance at least on one of the three nights. DONT FORGET THE DATES, MAY 19, 20 and 21. In a Tight Pln«» John Stilliftg, proprietor of the Pearl street vulcanizing shop, sat in a most uncomfortable place for about a half hour on Tuesday afternoon of this week. He and W. L. Howell accompanied F. A. Cooley and the latter's son, Floyd, to Chicago on that day and parked their big Marmon just off of 3£th street, near Comiskey's ball park. Mr. Cooley and his son, acompanied by Mr. Howell, walked down to the Exide headquarters, which were about a block away, leaving Mr. Stilling in the car. While seated in the machine four fellows walked up and, taking a careful survey of the car, began to tqll the McHenry young man how some one had just stolen a big Marmon. Luckily the McHenry car was locked, for, according to Mr. Stilling, the men were no doubt automobile bandits and were planning to steal the one he occupied. Altho the men made no attempt to molest him, Mr.* Stilling informs us that it Swas about the tightest place he ever got into. In fact, too tight for comfort. One can easily imagine the other three McHenry men's surprise when they returned to the car and listened to the story of their companion. - * WORK AT DAP!

Last Saturday and Sunday A. V. Hannifin, president of the association, accompanied by Chas. E. Reed, chairman of the board of directors, and E. E. Skillen of Fox Lake, chairman of the Fox Lake membership committee, made an interesting trip thru all the lakes of the district represented by the association and found the unanimous feeling strongly in favor of this association and its planned improvements. Everywhere the people are interested and convinced that the program of improvements is to be accomplished and the association is pleased at this time to advise the members as well as all others interested that the contractor, who is to do the work at the McHenry dam, has a large crew of men on the job and is making good progress in the preliminary work preparatory to the real improvement of the dam and the results should soon be evident. In addition to the many other achievements already published thru the press the officers of the association also wish to make it known that the engineering committee is now laying out the new markers for the channels and it is their hope, within the course of the next few weeks, to have these improved markers, which are equipped with lights, set out. The work df dredrring the channels, so far as presents funds will allow, will then be started and should be completed at an early date. While the present funds on hand are not sufficient to carry out the entire dredging program, this can be made possible by those who have •not as yet affiliated themselves with the association. If these people will now come in by sending their membership dues the entire program can easily be completed this year. A number of reports have recently found their way to the officers to the effect that some of the people of the j district are of the opinion that the activities of the association are limited to the improvements and care of the McHenry dam^nly and in response to these rumors the officers wish to have it distinctly understood that the program of the activities of the association is to promote general improvements in the entire district and not to limit its activities to the permanent reconstruction of the dam, but to improve the waterways generally, such as marking and deepening the channels between and in the various waters of the district, to promote good roads, to secure increased public utilities and hopes are even being entertained to secure favorable legislation for the district. The public utilities . committee, whose duty it is to promote tiie extension of gas, electricity, electric lights, arrange for suitable railroad facilities for the people of the district* ever at the service of the members and any matter coming under their jurisdiction will be given proper attention at any and all times. The personnel of this important committee follows: Chas. W. Peters, chairman, County Building, Chicago; A. W. Cast, 652 W. Lake street; J. F. Kadie, 10 S. Clinton street. In a manner of showing the interest that is being manifested in the welfare of the resorters of this district we Will mention just one incident which transpired only last week when the president of the association was advised by a number of the members that the Chicago & Northwestern railroad did not propose to operate the summer schedule of trains between McHenry and Chicago the same as last year. Or, in other words, advance the 'train time out of the smaller towns one hour, so that the trains would arrive in Chicago at the same hour under daylight saving time as under standard. The matter was taken up by A. V. Hannifin, president of the association, with J. L. Ferguson, general passenger agent, and the reply came as follows: Chicago, 111., May 4, Ii981. Mr. A. V. Hannifin, Pres., Fox River Valley Deep Waterway Assn., 11 S. LaSalle St., Chicago. Dear Sir--Replying to yours of the 2nd. It has been arranged that our summer schedules between Chicago and McHenry will be the same as those of last season. These schedules will be effective with change of card on May 29. Our announcements aie now being prepared and will be ready for» distribution within a day or two. Yours truly, ? 1 John L. Ferguson.
