UNOLEOM UNDERTAKING JACOB JUSTEN McHENRY, ILL. While we are dwelling on the subject, a survey of -the games staged, etc., might also be of interest* to the fans. All told, twenty-five games were played, including the two not figured in the batting averages. Six scheduled games could not be played on account of rain, these being: May 25, Wilmot; June 8, Wilmot; June_15, Dundee Peerless; June 22, State Xiine; Sept. 1, Algonquin; Sept. 7, Libertyville. The dates and scores of each game played follow: May 11--McHenry ll;sCary 4. May 18--McHenry 8; State Line 7. May 25--Wilmot, rain. May 30--McHenry 10; Algonquin 9. June 1--McHenry 6; Burlington 4.

As'will be seen by the above, McHenry won sixteen of the twenty-three games as staged under the McHenry banner. They lost one to Aurora, two to Elgin, three to Algonquin and one to Cary. Seven games , were staged on foreign territory. The club had no Ipck away from the home grounds, dropping five of the seven. Considering the calibre of teams' played, che McHenry club made a very fine showing, indeed, and we doubt very much if there is a club anywhere in this section which was able to hang up as good a record. Since the close of the season, supporters of the McHenry club have already made a bid to have the same team represent McHenry in another season. Nothing definite has been worked out along this line thus far, but some sort of an agreement may be reached between now and next spring which will bring the same outfit to McHenry for the season of 1925.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS crrr OFFICIALS MET IN REGULAR SESSION MONDAY McHenry Ice Cream THE reason our ice cream has grown so popular and is now considered the finest and best obtainable any where is because of the fact that nothing but the purest and most wholesome foods go into its making.

The cream is sediment tested, pasteurized and goes thru all of the various operations known only to the most modern scientific methods of purification. We do not use powder in any form.
