Altho cannot see any objection* to connecting up at any time, the use of the system cannot be had until the entire job has been completed and accepted by the cfty. Just how soon this will be depends entirely upon the progress made on Riverside Drive, where activities have now been started. Owing to thefact that the trenches along this street will be dug considerably lower than the river bed the workers will have considerable water, with which to contend. In order to do away with modi this water annoyance the work .

The question of paving at least her ~p$£ncipal streets is being agitated among the Residents of Grayslake. to drain the water down the sewer and thru the purification plant about as rapidly'as it enters the trenches. Even with this drainage it is anticipated that the progress along this street will be rather slow as compared with the thorofares where conditions were much more favorable. While one of the sewer gangs has been at work laying the mains underneath the creek, another has been at work during the past week or more in making the water extensions along Elgin Road, the north end of Riverside Drive and Maple 'avenue. The sinking of the pipes below the creek, which necessitated the building of coffer dams, also required some time. It is our understanding that a small trench digging machine is to be brought to this city for the purpose of digging the trenches for connections. The expense of this digging, of course, is to be borne by those wishing to have the work done while the machine is here. Hand digging, we are told, is far more expensive than to have it done by machine and therefore it is more than likely that all thos<? who are planning on making connections will MoHKNRY. ILI^NOIS.

That the show will be beautifully costumed and staged is a certainty for it is a well established fact that the John B. Rogers Producing company spares no expense when it comes to costumes and scenery and clever manvfscripts. The action of "All Aboard" takes place on board the S. S. Florida and the cleverly written libretto has to do with two young college boys who are both in love with the same girl. One of them has the misfortune of losing four of his teeth in a foot ball game and the lost teeth have * great deal to do with the play and comedy situations, of which there are a plenty. Roles which are sure to bring comment from everyone are William Bickler as Billy Brady, Leo Heimer as Johnny Thomas, the two college boys; Beatrice Sloane played by Miss Blanche Meyers; Mrs. Sloane, her mother, Miss Mildred Klein, and Richard Stenger as Alexander C. Phome, a real comedy part. Tunes that you simply cannot forget, catchy, swinging airs that you want to whistle, features the music "AH Aboard."

While the "Flivvers" lead their opponents in the first two, games, the backers of Henry Ford for president did not hit their real stride until the last game, when they piled up a total of 827 pins. Geo. Justen, bowling with the winners, hung up the best score of the evening, knocking down the woodfen soldiers for a total of 611, which gave him an average of 170 1-3 for the evening.

Mr. Foss, in company with his father-in-law, John F. Claxton, Wm. Claxton and John Drymiller, had been hunting on the Claxton farm during the morning and came in for dinner. With the intention of resuming his quest for game after the dinner meal, Mr. Foss, without removing the shell from his gun, locked the haihmer and left the gun standing just outside the kitchen door. Later as the vfctira of the accident was leaving the house by the kitchen door, a gust of wind threw back the screen with such force as to knock down tho gun and explode same. Luckily for Mr. Foss, the shot passed thru the door casing before lodging in his side. Had he received the full or direct charge of the gun he would not be here today to tell the tale. As it happened, none of the shot went deep enough to strike the heart, while considerable of the discharge passed over his head and found a lodging place in the ceiling of the kitchen. *\ v ^ Dr. N. J. Nye was Called to the Claxton home immediately after the accident and since then has been successful in removing all of the shot. |1S,M0 WORTH OF BUICK CABS SOLD MARRIED AT SPRING GROVE YOUNG PEOPLE UNITED AT PETER'S CHURCfes^c- ^789.710 733 2182 727 itefrmfers Smote Out Leghorns Steilens' Leghorns, probably due to the fact that the elsctric lights weren't turued on in time, failed to produce last Friday night and as a result the Defender cigars smoked them out two out of the three games rolled.; lar R. I. Overton, head of the Overton A Cowen garage in this city, has singled handed established a record for the selling of Buick cars which should make all other Buick agents sit up and take notice. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 24 Mr. Overton has been successful in the sale of $15,800 worth of Buick cars of various makes and he hopes to increase this amount to $20,000 by the first of December. The local Buick agent has thus far enjoyed a very good year, but the November record already established surpassed, by far, the sales recorded during the same month of any year since he has been in the automobile business in McHenry.

YOUNG LADY BREAKS ARM CRANKING FORD A wedding of unusual int&eift' tb their large circle of friends took place at St. Peter's Catholic church at Spring Grove on Wednesday morning of last week, Nov. 21, with Rev.

Kattner of Spring Grove, and Mr. Edward Bauer, second eldest son of George Bauer of Wauconda. The bride presented a most pleasing picture. She was attired in a gown of white silk messaline overdraped with a spangled net slip. A veil of silk tulle, caught with a silvef band, completed her trousseau. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Miss Caroline Miller, a cousin of the bride, acted as tataid of honor. She was attired in a coral silk taffeta gown and carried pink ' chrysanthemums. The bridesmaids were Misses Martha Bauer and Lucille Ducold, the former a sister of the groom. Miss Bauer wore a pink silk georgette dress and carried pink roses. Miss Ducold wore a blue satin dress and carried pink roses. Little Betty Dandelain, a niete of the groom, acted as flower girl. Her dress was of pale pink crepe de chine. She carried a bouquet of white carnations. ^ High mass followed the wedding ceremony, after which the bridal party adjourned to the home of the bride's parents, where a reception, attended by over 200 people, was held.

Two men were laid off at the Borden milk bottling plant here this week. The Isy-off did not come as the result of a falling off of the milk, but is due to the installation of new labor-saving machinery that is now being put in.
