In addition to the credits which have been allowed our school heretofore, we are given two in French, one in bookkeeping, two in stenography and typewriting, one in chemistry, one in general science and one-half in commercial arithmetic. This taken in connection with what Mr. Clevenger said after a recent visit to our school, work and organization of the school is up to standard except for the advantages of a building equipped for modern school work. The letter informing Mr. Treadway of the above fact together with a list of credits are herewith reproduced: Urbana, 111., May 19, 1921. Mr. Oswell G. Treadway, Principal, McHenry Community High School, McHenry, Illinois. My Dear Mr. Treadway--On my recommendation as a result of a recent visit the council of administration has approved the renewal of accrediting of your high school as fully accredited for a term of ahe year or until June 30, 1922.

The family moved to the Michigan city a few years ago and in the graduation exercises Miss Henise was honored by being chosen valedictorian. The class numbered sixty. After a short honeymoqn trip, which is being spent at Benton Harbor, Mich., the couple will leave for India, where they will engage in missionary work. Mr. and Mrs. Ediqund Knox and daughters, Dorothy and Genevieve, and R. F. Conway of this place motored to the Michigan city to attend the graduation exercises as well as the wedding. New Time Card Effective The new summer train schedule between this point and Chicago became effective on Sunday and, due to the fact that they failed to acquaint themselves with the new schedule, a number of Chicago passengers missed the train on Tuesday morning. The fast Chicago passenger, which formerly left this station at 8:33, now leaves at 7:33 a. m. Among new trains to be put on are the 2:25 afternoon northbound passenger, the 5:55 p. m. southbound passenger, the two Sunday evening trains, the extra Saturday special, which arrives here from Chicago at 1:17 p. m., and the early Monday morning special, which leaves this station for Chicago at 6:17 a. m. June Brides H. C. Bobb, proprietor of Bobb's photo studio here, has a very attractive display window just now, in which he is featuring the bride. This being the month for brides, the idea is not only novel, but timely as well. Standing beneath a wedding bell, supported by streamers, are the bride and groom, while photos of recent bridal couples and parties form the sides and background. The window is attracting considerable attention from the passersby. Will Deliver Baccalaureate Address Father Theo. B. McCormick of Huntley has been secured and will deliver the baccalaureate address to the class of *21 of the McHenry community high school on Sunday evenly .. , >./!• vL1 * that the people of this community have paid tribute to the soldieis and sailors both living and dead, by the observance of Memorial day with a fitting program and exercises on Monday afternoon. The program, as published in these columns last week, Was carried out with but one exception, the invocation, which was to have been given by Rev. Edw. Berthold, who was unable to be present on account of having been called away to attend a funeral. Headed by the McHenry military band, the procession was first formed in front of the American Legion hall on the West Side, from whence the parade proceeded east on Main street to Green and thence to the Empire theatre. The stage, bedecked with a large American flag, was occupied by the chairman, speaker of the day, four Civil war vets and three veterans of the late war. The afternoon's program opened with a selection by the band, after which Atty. A. H. Pouse, commander of the McHenry post of the American Legion, made the announcement that Rev. Berthold was unable to be present for reason as stated above. A sextet, consisting of Mrs. J. C. Holly, Mrs. F. J. Aicher and Miss Clara Miller, Messrs. Jos. W. Freund, Peter M. Justen and Oswell G. Treadway, sang a beautiful as well as appropriate selection. During his short introductory address Commander Pouse paid' the speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Richard B. Walsh, a very high compliment for the unusual interest that he has always displayed towards the boys of the American Legion, for the many good things that he has already done for the home post and for his willingness to help any and all causes as sponsored by the late war heroes, and last, but not least, his ready acceptance of the honor of being made speaker on this occasion. Mr. Walsh, arising and walking slowly to the front of the stage, thanked the commander for the nice introduction and then proceeded with an oration that was beautiful, impressive and filled with love and high respect for the boys, both living and dead, who saw their country thru the dark days of all wars in which these United States have participated.

Himlera Going to California Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Himler, who left this village via automobile about a year ago, are this week leaving the state of Washington fo^ California, where they expect to spend a year before returning home. Regarding their stay in Puyallup, Washington, the local correspondent to the Tacoma Daily Ledger had the following to say last Saturday: "Mr. and Mrs. George A. .Himler, who came here last August by automobile from McHenry, 111., plan to leave June 1 to spend a year traveling in California before returning east. The Himlers travel in a small coupe. They declare that Washington Will be their future home ferent occasions during the past two an(j that after returning east to settle or more years and not forgetting the Up business affairs they will return many splendid addresses tendered by ^ puyallup.

According to Fox River Valley Deep Waterway association officials, work at the dam from now on will move much more rapidly. In fact, an early completion of the improvements to be made is assured. The engineering committee of the association is now preparing for the delivery of two modern weed cutters recently ordered and if the delivery promised on same by the manufacturer is made these cutters should be in the water within the course of the next week or ten days. At the same time the committee is working out all the details in connection with purchasing and setting out the new channel markers, which, of course, it is planned to have equipped with large green marine lights, which burn continuously for thirty days. This will enable safe navigation at night and will, no doubt, encourage boat owners tc enjoy moonlight trips more frequently than has been the case in the past. The sAme committee is also working out the details of ways and means by which to dredge all of the shallow channels and dike the low water shores and just as soon as the estimates on this work have been completed a statement of the cost of same will be issued to the membership in order to show what this work, in addition to that already done, will cost. ROAD ISSUE NEXT MONDAT Go to the Polls and Vote For An Additional Tax A very important election, at least to the people of McHenry county, will take place next Monday, June 6, when the voters, both men and women, wiH decide whether or not our county is to be given a system of hard roads. The question has been agitated thruout the county for several weeks past and, while many of the voters appear to favor the proposed improvement, there are sections where there, is considerable opposition. The reason for this opposition we are unable to state, altho it looks to us as tho the voters arent sufficiently posted. It is very seldom that anyone receives a thing without asking for it and next Monday's vote is in a sense asking the state of Illinois to improve McHenry county's highways. Forty or more counties thruout the state have already asked for roads and their requests have been granted, and now the people of McHenry county have decided to ask for the improvement and it depends entirely upon the voters whether or not we, too, will be given roads such as are already being enjoyed by our neighbors. One thing which should be remembered by the voters is this: Should the proposition be voted down next Monday, same cannot be brought up again for another two years, which would make McHenry county a back number so far as good roads are concerned. Make it your business to go to the polls next Monday and vote for an additional tax. Now turn over and read the full page advertisement which appears elsewhere in this issue, which explains the entire situation in a most convincing manner.

The special services will start at 10:30 and it is expected that there will be numerous visiters in attendance. C.

He pictured the mother's great grief, anxiety and heartaches for the son or husband during the days of war in a most touching manner and asked that these mothers never be forgotten. During the course of his address he also pointed out the fact that there are thousands of heroes who are still fighting the late war, who, disabled and many maimed for life, are confined in the various army hospitals of the country. Some of these boys, he ventured to say, have not had the pleasure of returning to their homes since answering the call to the colors after our country entered the great world conflict, while there are also a number who have not seen home since 1914. The latter referred to are young men who enlisted their services under the flags of our allies before our entry into the late war. These boys, he stated, are deserving of more of our attention, and while dwelling upon the subject he mentioned the bonus bill, recently signed by the governor of Illinois, by which $55,000,000 will be divided among the young men who served in the late war. Losing of faith" by some of our people of the United States was another point well covered by the speaker. However, this faith, he felt certain, was gradually returning and everyone in the audience must have felt the same way after the speaker cited an instance which occurred only recently wherein the return of faith very much evidenced itself. His oration was brought to a fitting close with deep reverence to the flag and our heroes. Another selection by the sextet and band number brought to a close the program at the theatre, after which the procession was again formed for a march to the cemeteries, where the graves of the departed soldiers and strewn with flowers. arrangements whereby he will make two trips to this village every week.
