"Does it pay to beautify one's grounds in McHenry" is about the manner in which one of the citizens put it to us when giving us the information that some of his flowery had been destroyed on a recent night. It is indeed a shame that there are sofflie boys who do not appreciate and love nature, but will stoop so low as to destroy a bed of beautiful flowers. Parents should warn their children against this practice. Some of the perpetrators are known and unless the youngsters take heed some one will be called upon to pay damages. ; • Mr. alia' Mrs. Harvey Baron and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Althoff and children motored to Lake Geneva, Wis., last Sunday.'
