NYE LEAVES - EMBARKS IN JEWELRY BUSf- ' NESS AT McHENRY, ILL. f f, . " [Toluca Star-Herald] tdgsr A. Nye and family left Wednesday morning for McHenry, 111., their future home. This announcement will be a great surprise to many in this city, where Mr. Nye has been superintendent of the public school during the term just closed. The school, under his direction, has shown great advancement in all departments. His ability as an organizer and director was recognized by the board of education with a request that he remain as superinWndest at an increase in salary, but for some time Mr. Nye has contemplated going into th« mercantile business and wheal the opportunity he was looking for came he took advantage of it. Mr. Nye and his wife, altho here a short time, made scores of friends, who regret very much to lose their service, both as citizens, and Mr. Nye as the faithful and efficient leader of the public school. Mr. Nye does not enter McHenry as a stranger, he having formerly held the position of superintendent of schools in that city for a period of nine years. Altho the educational institutions have lost a valuable servant, we believe the city of McHenry has added a substantial and useful citizen and business man. The best wishes of the community follow Mr. Nye and family to their new home. McHENRY CLUB ENTERTAINS DISTINGUISHED VISITOR fev: 4 V * r': Sift.- - Noted polf enthusiasts from distant points are not uncommon figures on the McHenry Golf club course and during the searon many names of men and women prominent - in the various lines of business or work in which they are engaged are to be foithd on the club's register. Among the guests who registered last Sunday were County Judge and Mrs. C. P. Barnes of W oodstock, who, with Cashier C. W. Stenger of the West McHenry State bank and Mr. Troyer, also a member of the McHenry club, made up a foursome. Immediately following this foursome were Chas. S. Herendeen, president of the Sunset Valley Country club of Crystal Lake, and his son, Frederick Herendeen of New York City. Mr. Spink of the Sunset Valley club and H. "H. King, president of the McHenry Country club, were the other two members of this foursome. Tjxfm-uu-i.i -i- ADDITIONAL LOCAL Ed. L. Hayes of Minneapolis, Minn, was a guest in the home of Mrs. D A. Whiting, northwest of town, the first of the week. Ed. had made business trip to Chicago and took the opportunity to take a run out to this city. His wife and family will arrive in McHenry a little later, where they will pass a couple of months as guests in the home of Mrs. Hayet>' mother Mrs. D. A. Whiting. Ae McHenry county bowrd of supervisors, in session at Woodstock on Monday of this week, by a vote of 10 to 5, refused to qualify under the rules of the state and federal government to participate in the fund for reimbursing farmers for cattle which may react in testing for tuberculosis The board, on the same day, voted £ $1,000 appropriation towards the salary of a county nurse. The annual McHenry county supervisors' picnic will again be held in McHenry this year, the date for the outing having been set for Wednesday, July 18. Supervisor S. H. Freund of McHenry has again been asked to take charge of the arrangements for the affair and all anticipating enjoyment of tJie occasion may rest assured that the popular McHenry supervisor will arrange for a most pleasant outing. „ Jos. G. Buch, one of McHenry's foremost radio enthusiasts, and who has one of the finest receiving as well as transmitting sets in the city, has been receiving messages from every section of the United Statps of late. Amateur radio transmitters everywhere are forwarding cards notifying the local transmitter that his messages are being heard. Joe is all wrapped lip in radio and besides putting in all of his spare time on his sets is also doing more or less installation work about town. All of the very latest radio news as contained in newspapers and radio magazines keep him posted on everything that is new to the game: Altho comparatively few of our citizens are aware of the fact, McHenry now boasts of a minnow hatchery, probably the only one of its kind to be found anywhere. The pond, which is fed by natural springs, is to be found at the residence of J. J. Buch. The pond, or hatchery if you please, was constructed by the owner last fall and now contains several hundred small minnows. The pond was constructed to provide a place in which Mr. Buch could* keep a good supply of minnows and it was not until after the place was completed that the thought struck the owner to raise his own "fishing bait." Mr. Buch, during the past several years,, has conducted a boat livery and besides supplying the public with row boats he also sells thousands of minnows each summer season. A fish really should consider it a great privilege to be quartered in this nifty little cement lagoon with its sparkling spring waters and sandy bottom. Altho he would never be able to raise enough minnows to supply the demand, Mr. Buch makes it his business to keep plenty of "bait" on hand by means of seine to keep anglers satisfied. * THREE YEAR PROGRAM IS PLANNED BY McHENRYCOUNTY HOME BUREAU in jprder that units may make a comprehensive study of subjects they select, the program of the McHenry County Home Bureau has been arranged on a three-year schedule.

Mr. Harrison's life was filled with kindly deeds and ministrations to those who were near and dear and to all who knew him he extended the hand of friendship, and many are the expressions of deep regard held by those friends who kqpw him well thru life. A lover of nature and the beautiful, he studied bird and plant life and his home was made the spot which was ever the center of his thought and care with flowers, birds and loving deeds, and while sitting in his chair on the porch amid the scenes of his work he left it, serenely passing to the "Upper Garden" of peace and rest. And thus was the passing of a good man.

CARY COMING NEXT SUNDAY Next Sunday afternoon Nick Hubert will bring his slugging Cary outfit to McHenry for their season's first encounter with the home crew. When these two teams clash it always means a real battle and the fans are already trying to figure out just what is going to happen. Hubert, who injured his arm during the latter part of last season and therefore had to give up pitching, is once more as good as new and from the manner in which he has been mowing down the opposing batsmen this season seems to indicate that old Nick is there. Last Sunday the Cary outfit enjoyed a regular holiday in defeating Barrington, the latter teem going down to defeat to the tune of 9 to 1. Opeka, who is doing the mound duty for the home team, is quite anxious to get a shot at the Gary outfit and believes that with any kind of support he can trim them. Cary is coming to McHenry with a small army of rooters so it's up to the home fans to turn out in numbers lest the visitors have things all their own way. It's going to be a great battle and every real fan is going to be on hand. Exerybody goes to the ball game when Cary comes, Ajre J>ou ready?
