John F. ntix ARB rat* COLLK ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE RIVER ROAD TUESDAY ON Occupants of Both Machines Escape Serious Injury--Mta. Gee. Is Injured In Jumping A serious automobile accident was narrowly averted near this village about four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon of this week when a Ford touring car and a big Paige just missed a head-on collision. The accident occurred on the turn in the river road near the Quinn homes just outside of the village limits. The Ford, said tx> have been owned and driven by Albert Jesskey of Crystal Lake, and carrying, besides the driver, two women and three children, was traveling south, while the Paige car, ownpd by George Schaid of .Griswold Lake and occupied by Mrs. Schaid, her daughter, Lillian, Miss Clara Kennebeck and Miss Rose Rotter, the latter of Chicago, was headed to ward's McHenry. The Paige car was being driven by Miss Schaid. According to those who witnessed tiie accident the Ford was on the left hand side of the road, while the Paige was also on the same side. The road at this point is quite narrow, while the turn is a sharp one. According to the driver of the Ford he never saw the Paige approaching until too late to avoid a collision. He did manage, however, to pull his machine to one side far enough to avoid a beadon, but in so doing the Schaid car was sideswiped with sufficient force as to smash in the left front wheel and side light on the larger of the two machines, while the Ford tore away both fenders and running board, bent the axle, broke the wind shield and otherwise did more or less damage to the left hand side of the car. The driver, one of the women and a boy,, all occupants of the Ford, were the more seriously injured. These three people received numerous bruises besides being cut by the glass from the windshield. Mrs. Schaid, when she saw that a collision could not be averted, attempted to jump from the machine in which she was riding and in so doing was thrown from the car. Her injuries, however, were only slight, while the other three occupants escaped injury, altho all received a severe shaking up. The three other occupants also escaped with but slight bruises. Residents nearby, some of whom witnessed the accident, were soon upon the scene and before many minutes had elapsed the injured people were taken to the office of Dr. N. J. Nye in this village, where they were given medical attention. They were able to leave for their homes at Crystal Lake shortly afterward. The wrecking crew from Stilling's garage brought in the Paige car, while the crew from the Star garage took care of the Ford. LOCALS WIN CLOSE ONE Vaad Waaconda Another Wallsp In Sunday's Fracas Still smarting from the defeat as handed them by the McHenry team here a few weeks ago, the Wauconda outfit took the field last Sunday afteraoon fully determined for revenge. Hie battle was staged on the Wauconda diamond. In the absence of "(Jup" Meyers, McHenry once more presented a make shift line-up. Manager Meyers, who had not played a full game this season, went to first base, while "Sal" Meyers, our regular first sacker, was moved over to second. With this seemingly weakened lineup the backers of the McHenry nine weren't any to anxious to stake very much on the chances of our boys, but when the Wauconda betters began to offer a two to one shot some of the fellows just couldn't resist the temptation and took on a few of the bets and now they are kicking themselves because they did not take everything that the backers of the Lake county boys had to offer. Fusic and Hegemann, McHenry's new battery, made their initial bow to the fans and, while Hegemann's arm wasn't in the very best of condition, he performed mighty well as far as the receiving was concerned. Fusic, who pitched one game for the McHenry team earlier in the season, appeared to have a world of "stuff" and kept the few hits, as gleaned off his delivery, very well scattered. Warrander and Erickson were the points for Wauconda. The former is not a youngster by any means as he has been up there many summers. It will be rfcmembered that this same lad made things mighty interesting for the old McHenry Sox, who used to perform before the local fans in the days that have gone by. While Warrender seemed to have lost some of his cunning, he did turn in a mighty gopd game. Errors on the part of McHenry gave the Wauconda boys their two runs. At the begirtning of the ninth inning the score stood two all and surely did look as if the game would go into extra innings. However, McHenry succeeded in shoving over another marker in their half of this stanza, while they held their opponents scoreless in the same round. It was a hard game for Wauconda to lose. In view of their victory over the Libertyville team they felt that they should be able to trim McHenry. McHenry had twice fallen the victims of the Libertyville team this season. Thus, it has once more been demonstrated, that one never can tell the outcome of a ball game. Cary Next Suadap The fans are assured another rattling good game of baseball on the McHenry diamond next Sunday afternoon when "Nickie" Hubert brings his Cary team to town. These two teams met once before this season, on June 11, the game having been played on the Cary diamond. McHenry won that battle by a * score of 6 to 4. Since that game the McHenry team has met and defeated some of the strongest teams in this and adjoining counties and the down river aggregation is coming to McHenry for the express purpose of seeking revenge. Cary will depend upon Hubert and Bennett to bring home the day's honors, while the home crew is resting its hopes on Fusic and Hegemann. No matter which team wins, the fans are assured one real ball game. As Cary always brings a big following of rooters, it will be up to McHenry. to turn out in numbers also. Here's hoping that the park is filled to over flowing next Sunday. Brda, Vycital's hardware, McHenry. First Methodist The church school service begins at ten, followed at eleven by the church service. The subject of the sermon will be the "Kingdom of God." What is this kingdom of which Christianity speaks? What will be the method of its coming? At what time will it come? Christ's second coming has been linked with the ushering in of this kingdom and will therefore have a place in the discussion. Everyone is cordially invited to attend this Sunday morning worship service. The second meeting of the young people's group will be held Sunday evening at 7:30. The subject for discussion will be "Loyalty."

Dairymen Will Turn Out Considerable interest in the coming dairymen's meeting to be held in this village next Wednesday, August 9, is being expressed by local dairymen. Just how well the milk producers thruout the McHenry territory will take to the Milk Producers' Cooperative Marketing company's new ideas and contract remains to be seen. The meeting, it is certain, will be well attended as dairymen are no different from any other line of business men and are always ready and willing to listen to something that may be to jthtir advantage. Able To Be U p . . . Miss Elizabeth K. Miller, who ing the past several weeks has been confined to her home thru illness, is again able to be up.

For further information call McHenry No. 7 or 77-JWE WMT CEHEHT- MAD -WHY HAS CONTRACT NOT BEEN LET BEFORE NOW? McHenry Very Much Interested In the Volo-McHenry Stretch--Governor Expresses Interest In Road Has the proposed cement highway between Volo and McHenry ever been put up for bidding? If so, why has not a contract been awarded for the construction of this stretch? Aren't the people of the eastern section of McHenry county entitled to just a few miles of cement road? If, for some political reason, the road's coming has been delayed why not learn just where the hitch comes in and make efforts to straighten out these difficulties? These as well as many bther questions are being heard and will continue to be heard thruout this section of McHenry county until the wishes of the voters and taxpayers have been granted. Some weeks ago the state highway department decided that that stretch of route No. 20 lying between Volo and McHenry be included in the state's 1922 paving program. Since that time those residing along the proposed cement highway as w»!! as the citizens of this entire community have been anxiously awaiting the announcement that an actual contract for the construction of this stretch has been awarded and we are still waiting. Richard B. Walsh of this village, whose position with a Chicago bonding house takes him over several of the central states, had the honor of meeting Gov. Len Small while on a trip thru Indiana a short time ago. The governor, at the time of their meeting, according to Mr. Walsh, appeared very much interested in the Volo-McHenry road and upon being told by the McHenry man that nothing had been done on this particular stretch the state's highest official expressed surprise and regret While our informant was not certain that this meant the loss of the road to this locality for this year, he did feel that the citizens of McHenry should make a more determined effort for the road and the fact that the governor appeared interested should stir McHenry to immediate action. This particular stretch of road is one of the worst in this section of the state. Even during the summer months, and especially this summer, the road is avoided by the traveling public as much as possible. Last spring, it will be remembered, certain places in the road were utterly impassable, while the entire stretch between this village and Volo was' in a most deplorable condition. The citizens of this community really felt and in a measure were led to believe that McHenry would be brought out of the mud before the advent of another spring season and unless our prayers to the state highway department are answered we will again be forced to put up with the same conditions the coming spring as prevailed this year. If there is any one stretch of road in northern Illinois that is entitled to immediate attention it is the Mc- Henry-Volo stretch. Of this the state highway department is already well aware. The stretch has been included in this year's building program, so why delay the building of same any longer? ' The traffic, in spite of the fact that hundreds of tourists are avoiding the stretch, is exceptionally heavy. Cementing of this road would accommodate thousands of machine owners whose license fees help very materially in swelling the state's revenue and in fairness to everyone concerned the improvement should be started without further delay. The local hard road committee should push the project harder than ever before. One cannot expect anything nowadays without the asking and McHenry should let it be Ten own that this community is shouting at the top of its voice that WE WANT THE ROAD THIS YEAR. Will Exhibit at Genoa Junction Walter J. Freund of this village has been engaged as one of the attractions at the American Legion midsummer festival to be held at the State Line Ball park near Genoa Junction, Wis4 on August 24, 25 and 26. The local young man is considered the world's champion blind bag puncher. He is getting himself in shape for the engagement. CARNIVAL OPENS TOMORROW PaaUst Choristers Expect to Entertain Large Crowds Bought Heme at Harvi W. P. Sherman, director of the McHenry band, but who has been making his home at Genoa Junction, Wis., is again a property owner at Harvard, having purchased the residence held by the Presbyterian church in that city. We have not learned whether or not he will move to that city. Live Topic 1 The sewerage question is again up for more or less discussion. While there doesnt appear to be very much opposition to the installation of the system, there are, however, some who feel that the purification tanks belong outside of the village limits. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Franaen welcomed a baby daughter into, their heme on Main street last Friday. Everything is set for the big three days' carnival which opens at the Pistakee Bay summer home of the Paulist Choristers tomorrow (Friday) afternoon and which is advertised to continue each afternoon and evening for the three days, ending Sunday night The spacious grounds which surround their quarters, the Stilling hotel building, will present a scene of activity during these days that is sure to attract immense crowds and from the manner in which the youngsters have been preparing for the occasion they expect to entertain hun dreds «f visitors. Everything that goes to make up an occasion of this sort will be there in abundance. There will be ample entertainment for young and old, while the programs to be presented by the famous choir will be worth going miles to hear. The Paulist Choristers' reputation not only extends thruout the entire Central West, but also into the European countries, where the organization won great favor a few years back. It is indeed a real privilege to listen to these renowned songsters and since the opportunity has been afforded the people of this community to hear them right here at home McHenry and the adjacent towns' should be well represented at the carnival during the next three days.

In spite* of the threatening clouds hundreds of sight seekers were hauled to the lotus beds from McHenry last Sunday. .Every* available passenger boat along the Fox was brought into use and still there were a number who could not be accommodated. The lotus beds appear to be drawing more wide spread attention each year and, judging from the number who have already made the trip to the land of flowers, this season is sure to break all previous records in the number of people who will visit the beds. The Hunter boat line of this village is responsible, to a marked degree, in bringing the sight seekers to McHenry, as they are this season waging a larger advertising campaign than ever before. Mrs. C. E. Jecka Hostess ^Mrs. Chas. E. Jecks entertained a company of friends at her home west of town on Wednesday afternoon in honor of her mother, Mrs. H. W. Gaylord of Emmettsburg, la., who is here for a visit with her daughter. The affair was in the nature of a surprise and the afternoon was passed in a most pleasant manner. Mrs. Gaylord is a former resident of McHenry, having resided in and west of this village for a number of years, and greatly enjoyed the visit with her old time friends. At an appropriate hour a delicious luncheon was served. Maxons Are Scarce. The contractors who are building the new St. Patrick's church are experiencing some difficulty in obtaining brick layers.
