Denial of a writ of habaas cffltpiu to Jota Hoffman, Fox Lake hotel keeper, by Judge Edwards in the Lake county circuit court at Waukegan last Saturday morning, is regarded as a decided victory for the state in the punishment of non-payers of liquor fines, according to attorneys. Hoffman was arrested at Fo* Lake several weeks ago for violation of the liquor laws. He was found goitty in court, fined $750 and sentenced to ninety days in jail. He has now served the jail sentence and the case last Thursday was a test oM in a manner. The finding of the court means that Hoffman as well as a number of other liquor law violators must pay their fines or serve it out in jail. With the ea*» of Hoffman, he has the choice of paying the.$750 or serving Ave hundred days In Jail. take county officials are still keep tag after them- in the Fox Lake dis trict.

Ihe' bear, so clared, was brewed by himsfif and Ms M. Jus ten, secretary of the local club, is any criterion great things may be expected before the close of the summer season. While there is no way of checking the actual results already obtained thru this advertising campaign, it is an undeniable fact that quite a large number of Chicagoans have already been , induced to come our way thru this means of publicity. Several of these people have been interested enough to say that it was the advertisement that brought them to our beautiful resort, while others simply come and go without anyone knowing just why they came to select McHenry as a week end stopping place. As stated above nearly every mail is bringing in latter* of Inquiry from peopla vbo are ijNftr ftmateg on their suiaaasr'fl outinig and, while Mr. Justen is answering these communications just as rapidly as possible, there is considerable information that could be handed him which would tend to lighten his work very materially. First of all, it is the desire of the club as well as the secretary that each and every individaai in this vicinity appoint himself and herself a commit tee of one to assist in this big booster campaign. The secretary should be supplied with the rates of every hotel in the McHenry district as well as any other information which the proprietors may be able to extend which will in any way help bring them new business. Those having cottages for rent by the week, month or season should also let themselves be known. Then, too, there are the class who prefer a private stopping place in preference to a hotel. In order that this class may be given the desired information the secretary must be informed just how many of our people have rooms that they are willing to rent out. Some of the requests are for private rooms for a week, while others want them for two weeks and longer. We are certain that there are a number of our people who have rented their spare rooms during the summer season and if they will kindly get in touch with Mr. Justen we are sure that their rooms will not remain idle long. Letters for private rooms are coming in almost daily. Please see to it that this information gets into the haadiR of the secretary without delay. We, who have Jived hi this beautiful Fox river valley all our lives, are just beginning to realize that this section of Fox river offers the finest summer resort facilities in the coun try and now that we have awakened to this fact Why not get back of this advertising campaign by assisting the man wKa ksva StSftfid thfi bw!! £1 by giving them our unselfish support and co-operation.

Altho the place was opened last week and has been doing business ever since, the young men will not hold their grand opening until next Saturday, at which time they invite the public to call and inspect their stock. Besides handling a complete tine of automobile accessories, the firm will specialize in the sale of the Lambert trouble proof tires, which are now used by hundreds of large corporations thru out the east and central west. The tire is manufactured at Akron, O., is absolutely puncture proof and, according to the local agents, is rapidly coming to the front. The tires are especially adapted for trucks. They will also handle other makes of tires and tubes as well as all of the very latest inventions known to the automobile world.

This service will close the season and the Universalist church will not open again until September, when Ifr. Grimes will return to resume the work. Last Sunday's service was more than usually pleasant in some ways. The attendance was splendid. Quite a number of people from Ringwood were present and the church was decorated with several large bouquets of beautiful, fragrant peonies, furnished by Mr. Buckland The year's work as a whole has been marked by a substantial increase in interest and enthusiasm as well as numerically and the church will be opened in the fall with expectation of better tilings still.

Commencement Exercises The twenty-eighth annual commencement exercises of the high school were held at the Empire theatre on Friday evening last. The exercises were opened with a march very capably rendered by li{«a Dorothy Knox of the class of '16. Keeping in step with the march the flaw of '22, together with the high school faculty and Thos. A. Bolger, president of the community high school board, marched down the aisle and took their places upon the stage, So beautifully decorated for the occasion. The members of the class as well as the faculty wore the customary caps and gowns. The Girls' Glee club opened the pn* gram wi>h two very fine selections* followed by the salutatory by Miss Doherty. A solo by Miss Help Keep City Cleaa "Help keep the city clean" should be the slogan in McHenry. It has been brought to our notice that the tearing up and throwing bits of paper on our streets has become a common practice with some of our people. This applies to both young and old. It is only thoughtlessness on the part of those who have allowed themselves to get into this practice and if everyone will only do a little thinking the beauty of our village will be that much more enhanced. Don't throw paper on our streets. Carry it along until you reach your homes and then burn it Most of our citizens take a great pride in seeing that their property is kept clean and it is anything but a pleasure for those to go over their lawns each morning and pick up bits of paper and rubbish that has been thrown there by some thoughtless person. Once more, make it your s l o g a n , "HELP KEEP THEO^ cl$AN." ; r % _ ^ Working Over Tlm« *• * " * Some of the departments at the Terra Cotta factory are putting in over-time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, nights of each week, which makes the day a decidedly long one for the men employed in these departments. While some of the local employes at the plant appear to be satisfied with the new orders others feel that the over-time isn't doing them any good. When it is considered that the plant is operating on the day-light saving schedule, which means that the McHenry employes are obliged to leave their homes in the early hours of the morning, the day becomes a mighty long one, even without extra time. Grounds Already Staked Qui and Work on Structure Witt Begia Immediately Probably no announcement ever made from the pulpit of St. Patrick's Catholic church here met with more general favor than that from Rev. M. J. McEvoy as made last Sunday morning, when he told his faithful followers that the contract for the building of a riew church edifice had been '.et. Altho nothing had boon heard regarding the new churrh - during the it several weeks, it remains that the pastor and the members* of the church committee have been quietly at work during all these weeks. The contract, as announced last Sunday morning, has been granted to Schmeling & Broetzmann of Rockford, who are specialists in that sort of architecture, and the parishioners as well as the citizens of the entire community may rest assured that the edifice will prove 'one of the town- Ship's finest monuments. The contract price is $52,6^0, altho this figure will reach close to $60,000 by the time all of Die fixtures have been installed. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of the church, and thru whose untiring labors it has been made possible to announce the letting of the contract, informs us that the site chosen for the building of the structure is that stretch of ground lying just west of the parsonage. The land has already been staked out and it is expected that the contractor will have a gang of men on the job excavating at once. " The present church ^difice has served its purpose for a great many years and probably would serve the people of this community a year or two longer were it net for the influx of summer guests. To. accommodate the summer resoriers three masses have been read at St. Patrick's dur ing the busy summer months and even with this arrangement the attendance occasionally overcrowded the seating capacity. While the summer attendance has grown very materially during these years, permanent membership has also witnessed a very noticaMe increase during this time. Thus in order to be in a position to accommodate all who wish to worship at St. Patrick's in the future a new edifice is an absolute necessity. Just how soon the new church will be ready for occupany is not known at this time, altho it is the sincere hope that services may be conducted therein before the first of the year. The work, it is understood, will be pushed with all possible speed. ALUMFCL BANQUET AND DANCE •eld Saturday Evening Proves' Enjoyable Event > -' The twenty-eighth annual McHenry high school alumni banquet and dance as held Saturday evening proved one of the most enjoyable ever held by the association. Covers for 104 were laid at the banquet which took place at Justen's hotel at 6:30 o'clock. One of the very pleasing features of the occasion was the presence of a number of members who now reside to distant towne aad states. The spread was of the kind that is making this particular hostelry famous, the menu being as follow?: Fruit cocktail, soup, crackers, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, French peas, pickles, olives, combination salad, iee cream, cake, nuts, hot rolls and coffee. The after dinner program was presided over by John I. Sutton, who during the past several years has made his home in the West. He filled the position most pleasingly and at times caused much laughter with his characteristic Irish wit. Richard B. Walsh, in his ever pleasing manner, made the address of welcome to the class of *22, while Miss Lillian Doherty was accorded the honor of making the response. A vocal solo by Miss Dorcas Foss, a reading by Miss Blanche D. Pryor and a pianologue by Miss Dorothy Knox were all well received and met with a hearty applause. Supt. O. G. Treadway, of the McHenry schools, contributed remarks which left plenty of food for thought. Attys. Leonard Phillips and A. H. Pouse were called upon and responded vith a few well chosen words. A social dance at the American Legion hall followed the banquet and was enjoyed by a large crowd. Hie music for the dance was furnished by the Fox River Four orchestra. A.* P.
