Irtle D6J% who have 1>een out constantly this winter for basket ball practice were banqueted by the pupils of the community high school at the K. C. hall last Saturday evening, there being about one hundred of the pupils, teachers and friends in attendance. The hall was very prettily decorated in the school colors, orange and black. Streamers were draped from the center of the ceiling to the sides and also across the front of the stage. Hanging in front of the stage was .the banner won by the boys of 1916. The tables were decorated by a narrow band of orange and black running down the center of each and. by vases of jonquils and carnations. The two room, around which the basket ball boys and Coaches Stringer and Bobb were seated, contained as center pieces a basket ball and the cup won by the boys of 1916. At the end of the'dinner talks on basket ball were given by a number of the teachers and pupils. Everyone seemed very optimistic as to the out look for next season. With the new gym and the experience which the boys now have there seems to be no reason for not turning out a winning team next year. At the end of the talks, certificates were given by Mr. Duker to the following boys: Leo Winkel, Earl Walsh, John Vycital, Harold Bacon, Richard Overton and to William Green, Ernest Barbian, Arthur Kraiise, Le- Roy Conway, William Nye and Jesse Whiting. The first five received the privilege of wearing the official letter "M," a ONLY ONUMEST TO BE WAGED AT SCHOOL ELECT IONS SATURDAY i TO THE VOTERS OF THE VILLAGE OF McHENRY, ILL.: THREE CANDIDATES WILL MAKE RACE FOR COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL BOARD Three school elections will take place here next Saturday afternoon and, in view of the fact that a contest is to be staged in one of the three, a big vote is almost certain to be polled. ^ The elections to- be held" are the township, community high school and district No. 15.

OPENING OF ROAD BIDS ^TOMORROW MEM0R1ALH0SPITAL PLANNED m COUNTY IN HONOR OF WORLD WAR VETS COMMUNITY BANQUET TUESDAY CLUB HAS MADE ELABORATE PLANS FOR COMING EVENT Included among the road bids which are scheduled for opening at Springfield tomorrow (Friday) is section 18, route No. 20, which includes that stretch of road lying between Volo and the Mrs. Henry Kennebeck farm east of this village. We understand that several contractors have sent in bids on this stretch and it is only natural to expect that a contract will be awarded at a very early date. This stretch of road, which since the advent of the automobile has been subjected to heavy traffic, is surely in dire need of improvement and the cementing of whistle has been sent bade and a j same will prove of benefit to thousands one ordered. Hie members of Company G of the ' ,;i2Bth infantry, National Guard, of Woodstock received their first pay last Saturday, fl,200 being divided up imong the fifty-nine members of the ilutfit.

According to an estimate *s given .> . #ut by the United States census "fureau, the city of Waukegan now has population of 20,864, an increase of *1,188 over the census as taken in '1920. Waukegan papers feel that the l^ashington estimate is too low, that 4 >||he populati-- la M# approximately gj|5,000. The Marengo business and profes- - «ional men are back of a campaign u4i|o sell $5,000 worth of Marengo Spe- | if ialty company stock.

In fact, this stretch should be completed before the end of the present summer. BAZAAR AT K. OF C. HALL A SUCCESS The charity bazaar and card party, as given under the auspices of Joyce Kilmer court, Catholic Daughters of America, at the K. of C. hall last Thursday evening, was very well attended and as a result netted the society a neat sum. The articles on sale were of the useful #s well as ornamental kind and found ready buyers. The young ladies in charge are to be congratulated for providing such a pleasant occasion and those who attended the event are hoping that they may again be the guests of the Daughters of America at some future time. EASTER COLLECTION AT ST. MARTS $740.00 women have served in this honorable capacity, we are told their services have proven very valuable.

I am very glad to hear of this, for I know of no one who is better qualified for this office than yourself. I believe that the people of McHenry feel the same way about it and that you will be elected by a splendid majority. The opposition may, however, attempt to spread propaganda among some of your friends who are unfriendly to me that your election will mean my return to McHenry. To relieve them of all doubt I wish to make the statement that I am not, nor will I under any circumstances, become a candidate for the superintendency of the McHenry school. You may publish this letter oat use it in any way you may see fit. With kindest regards, I am, Yours very truly, Osweil G. Treadway. ALTAR AND~ROSARY SOCIETY MET APRlls S fe The Easter collection at St. Mary's Catholic church in this village totalled $740.00, the largest ever recorded. This is according to the announcement as made by the pastor, Rev. Charles S. Nix, last Sunday morning. Hie pastor expressed great satisfaction over the splendid result and further expressed tile hope that the spirit of his parishioners would continue until after the total indebtedness agalact the parish had been wiped oat. > The Alter and Rosary society of St. Patrick's church met in the new hall last Thursday, April 5, sixteen members being present. Hie president, Mrs. M. J. Walsh, was absent and consequently the meeting was below par. The bed linen donated by Miss Nancy Frisby was raffled and won by Mrs. P. J. Cleary. The lucky number was twenty, book B. The amount of $50 was realized on same. The refreshment committee for the next meeting is as follows: Miss j ---- Eleanor McGee, chairman; Mesdamea DOWN RIVER RESORTERS we believe erroneous, as we are for a greater and larger McHenry.

Wm. Sutton, secretary of the South Fox River Improvement association, has been busy of late securing the signatures of permanent as well as summer residents who wish the service and within a very short time he expects to be able to make his report to the Public Service company. Many of these property owners have been asking for such a service for several years past and now that the convenience is practically assured them there should be general rejoicing down south Fox river wfy. DRIVE FOR FUNDS TO START SUNDAY AND CONTINUE THRU BALANCE OF MONTH McHenry county is about to put on an extensive campaign with the hope of securing sufficient funds, by , popular subscription, to warrant the erection of a $75,000 Memorial hospital in the city of Woodstock. Those who are responsible for the movement believe that the time has comer when McHenry county sh&old pay some lasting tribute to the young men and women of the country who served during the late World war and they further believe that no more suitable a monument could be erected than a county hospital, the need of which has been felt for many years. In an effort to stimulate an interest in the coming drive, several committees left Woodstock last Tuesday evening in an endeavor t^ cover at least a "Jjortion of the towns and as a result the hospital message was spread at Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo, Cary, Fox River Grove and McHenry and, according to word which has reached this office since Tuesday night, .the Woodstock delegations were very warmly received everywhere. Here at McHenry the visitors consisted of County Clerk Guy E. Still, Sheriff Lester Edinger, Judge H. Waite, John Bolger and Walter Conway. The meeting took place at the American legion hall and, while the local representation wasn't as large as it should have been, there were enough on hand, however, to assure the visitors of McHenry's co-operation in the worthy movement. Mr. Still and Judge Waite told the gathering the purpose of the r visit, while Walter Conway explained the preliminary work which had areadjr beepfcjione at Woodstock. The visitors wished to have it distinctly understood that Ate was not a Woodstock undertaking alone, but that the entire county was to share in the benefits to be derived from such an institution A big get-to-gsther1 masting, to which an invitation is extended to the people of every section of the county, will take place at the American Legion hall at Woodstock tomorrow (Friday) night, at which time, it is expected, the entire project will be gone over, committees appointed and all preparations made for the big campaign which starts next Sunday and will continue thruout the balance of the month. The local majors in the drive to secure funds in McHenry and vicinity are Simon Stoffel, N, H. Petesch and F. G. Schreiner. These three, together with a delegation of members of the local post of the American Legion and business men, are expected to the trip to Woodstock tomorrow ing, where-they will acquaint'themselves with the proposition. Woodstock now has a hospital sufficiently large to take care of that city's needs, but in view of the fact that almost fifty per cent of the cases cared for there during the past year or two have been from out of town, the capacity of the institution has long since reached its limit and as a natural consequence many cases were turned away. It was principally thru this condition that the present proposition was started and it is the sincere hope of many of McHenry county's best citizens that the project may ha pat over. The local committee will undoubtedly start the McHenry campaign next week, when canvassers will be appointed to take care of the various sections of town as well as the territory adjacent to our village and it is to be hoped that workers will be cordially received. To give one a vagua idpa a» to the possibilities of such a hospital in McHenry county, we herewith reproduce figures as taken from the records of the Woodstock hospital during the year 1922 and the first three months of this year: * ••• Operations oft itdulta . Operations on children 10 Children born ,-45 Contagious cases . . . . . . . / » . . . #.. , 4 Adult treatment Deaths during yifcp.'^. nVlv.*". Total number of cases in hospital.267 Of the twelve deaths, six were hopeless cases whan they ware brought to the hospital. 1928 Record The hospital record for the first three months of this year is as follows: v; *• * *3/-' Operations •' • »' s&r»60 Treatmentsiff'H*. 12 Babies born 21 Plans for the big Community club banquet, entertainment and dance, to take place at Jus ten's hotel next Tuesday evening, havi been completed by the entertainment committee and, judging from the manner in which the committee has looked after matters, those who turn out will be treated to one of the most pleasant occasions of the kind ever attempted in McHenry. The big banquet will take place at 6:80 o'clock and it is the hope of the officers end members of the club and entertainment committee that all will be there at the appointed hour. During the serving of the dinner music will be provided by a six-piece orchestra, while the after dinner entertainment will consist of vocal numbers by the two Brown brothers and instrumental numbers and solos by the six musical artists. Judge Charles P« Barnes of Woodstock will be the speaker of the evening and everyone may rest assured that this popular jurist will have a real message and one most fitting to the occasion to present to the big gathering which is certain to turn out. The advance sale of tickets has been quite satisfactory, altho there are still quite a number -who are expected to supply themselves with the paste boards. While many of our business men have provided themselves with extra tickets, E. R. McGee has taken over quite a large number and is now disposing of same at his clothing store. C. W. Stenger, of the West McHenry State bank, has also sold more than his quota of tickets and still is able to supply more. The officials of the club wish to have it understood that, while the occasion is being provided and sponsored under the direction of that body, the event is made public and therefore an invitation is extended to everyone wishing to participate. Holders of unsold tickets are kindly requested to turn them in to the secretary, Pater M. Justen, no later than next Saturday evening. OUR OPPORTUNITY It is not often that we have the privilege of showing our appreciation to one for the many things they have done for our pleasure and benefit as we have now in electing on our community school board this woman. Woman in every sense of tho word, high ideals, charitable, talented, educated, one who observes the greatest of all commands, "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you," as those who have worked with her in lodge, in social club, in church societies and community Christmas tree work can and will testify. We are about to do a big thing for our town and community in building pur new school building and the men who are chosen will never be sorry that they have had the privilege of working with so clear headed, far seeing, economical and capable a planner as she. There are many questions to come up that men do not think of. It is the women, the mothers who visit the schools and see and recognise the needs of our children. Many times in .past years I have heard discussed the need for a woman on the board and now is the tinne of greatest need, when all the questions of home economics, hot noon lunch, rest room, suitable athletic rooma, etc., etc., ara to ba studied, planned and decided.
