The cement pavement on Main street was opened according to schedule last Saturday morning and no sooner had the barricades been removed before the thorofare was quite well filled with traffic. The street had been closed for several weeks and needless to say that the business men on the West Side as also residents along the street were very much pleased to again be given the use of the same. Front street was opened at the same time. The south side of Pearl street, from the bridge to Park Ave., as also the entire Nock on Riverside Drive, between Pearl and Elm streets, wa3 thrown open to travel on Monday morning. These newly paved streets were opened to allow the cement workers to complete the north half of Pearl street, vork upon which was completed shortly after ten o'clock on Tuesday morning. The balance of Riverside Drive will probably be opened by the end of this week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krepel suffered a $100 fire loss at their home at Round Lake early last Sunday morning. The fire, which started from an unknowr origin, was discovered between two and three o'clock that morning by Mr. Krepel when he was awakened by the cries of their baby. An alarm was immediately sent in but their own efforts, and the assistance of neighbors, succeeded in squelching the blaze before the fire department arrived. The loss is covered by insurance. Mrs. Krepel is the daughter -if William Herbes of this city. The vaudeville given in connection with the regular movies at the Empire theatre on Saturday and Sunday evenings was exceptionally good. The entertainment was provided by Frank Helm, acrobatic singer and dancer, and Indian Bard, a full blood Indian who possesses a wonderful voice. The latter graciously responded to a num ber of encores.

The team, according to the management, has lost money on practically every home game and for this reason games have been scheduled for out-oftown, altho there are a number of open dates which can be booked for the McHenry diamond in case the fans show a disposition to give the boys better support.

The reason for following the SMALL M M TO PAVE STREETS THRU CITIES ^|S"./:*ND TOWNfTW^ APPROPRIATION OF A MILLION DOLLARS MADE BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE Governor Small has signed house bill 433 relating to the state taking over the paving of streets in towns and cities on state hard road routes Nos. 1 to 46 inclusive, and it there fore becomes a law the first day of July. South State street from the Belvidere city limits to Logan avenue and Logan avenue from State street to the city limits are on Route 5 and their condition should secure the early ac tion of the state road authorities un der the new law, as they have never been paved in conformity with the state hard road system, as their treatment in the past has never been with a permanent paving or hard surfacing. It is 'the local view that these two streets will come under the new law A copy of the bill has been received by Secretary Meyer of the Belvidere Chamber of Commerce from the legislative department of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, and it reads asy follows: Be it enacted by the People of the state of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly: Section 1. The department of public works and buildings is authorized and directed to construct and maintain durable hard-surfaced roads within the corporate limits of cities, villages and towns upon the routes designated as routes 1 to 46 inclusive by ^An act in relation to the construction by the state of Illinois of a statewide system of durable hard-surfaced roads upon public* highways of the state and the provision of means for the payment of the cost thereof by an issue of bonds of the state of Illinois," approved June 22, 1917, in all cases where the streets or other thorofares from the corporate limits where the route enters'the municipality are not paved, so as to make a continuous hard-surfaced road through the municipality. Or if the municipality is the terminus of said route, to such point within the corporate limits as wll best serve traffic interests upon said route. The streets or other thoroughfares upon which durable hard-surfaced roads are to be constructed shall be such as in the discretion of the department afford the safest, most direct route, and the one best adapted to the needs of persons making use of said routes. Section 2. The road so constructed m any municipality shall be of the same type and width as the road constructed upon the route outside the corporate limits of the municipality. However,^ by agreement between the department of public works and buildings and the council or board of trustees of the municipality, a road of greater width or different material may be constructed within the municipality by the department of public works and buildings and the municipality, the municipality paying for the excess cost, if any, for the greater width or different material. The municipality shall thereafter maintain that portion of the road constructed and paid for by it and the remaining portion only shall be maintained by the state. Section S. There is appropriated to the department of public works and buildings from the road fund the sum of $1,000,000.00 or so much as is necessary for carrying out the provisions of section 1. Sectiqp 4. This appropriation is subject to the provisions of "An act in relation to state finance," approved June 10, 1919, as amended. subscriptions have been sent out. An early and generous reply will be appreciated by the treasurer, Mrs. W. D. Wentworth. --• The daily vacation church school opens at the M. E. church Monday, June 29, at 9:00 o'clock.

The annual commencement exercises and program of St. Mary's school took place at the McHenry community high school auditorium last Thursday eve ning, the occasion being attended by a crowd which practically filled the* big auditorium. The exercises and program, according to the declaration of those who witnessed the same, were the best ever attempted by the school and revealed the fact that the school has turned out some very fine talent and excellent students. The program opened with a piano selection by Flora Freund which was very creditably given and cordially re ceived. The salutatory by Rita Bacon came next. Rita, probably one of the brightest students ever turned out by the school, wall bear the distinction next fall of being the youngest student enrolled at the community high school She gave her salutatory in a manner that was most pleasing. Miss May Justen, with Flora Freund as her accompanist, favored the audience with a violin solo that marks her as a musician of ability for one of her years. This number was roundly applauded. Another number, which was highly enjoyed by all, was the selection by the children's symphony, something quite new and none the less novel. It surely was quite a revelation to see these little folks in this number which is surely worthy of special mention. Lucille Stenger in a reading was the next number on the program. Her contribution was also worthy of the warm applause tendered her. A musical play in three acts entitled When Betsy Ross Made Old Glory" was also one of the very delightful numbers of the program. The cast was quite a large one and to say the least, each and every participant carried his and her role in a manner that elicited commendtion. During the action of this play a number of novelties were introduced that would do credit to a company of older performers. Miss May Justen next gave the valedictory, followed by a short address by Rev. Chas. S. Nix and thence the distribution of diplomas to the eighth grade graduates. GAME AND FISH LAWS Federated Sportsmen of Illinois Reports of unusual successes of nshirmen on June 15, the opening day of value of the provisions of the 1923 fish code and the conservation work done by William J. Stratton, chief game and fish warden. The tremendous increase in the number of black bass is due primarily to their protection during the spawning period and to the size limit prescribed by the code, which was prepared by the fish and game committee of the 53rd general assembly. These two protective measures have saved the bass distributed by Mr. Stratton until after they have spawned at least once. Bass spawn when they are three years old and as the average length of a three year old bass is ten inches, this law guarantees that every bass will spawn at least once which means about 1500 young bass. Of equal importance is the fishing license and the provision that the money derived from both hunting and fishing licenses shall be placed in a game and fish fund and use only for the establishment of fish hatcheries, game farms, rescue and distribution of fish and quail and other game birds, and most important of all to the everyday hunter and fisherman, the purchase and maintenance of public shooting and fishing grounds open to every person holding an Illinois huntipg and falling license. While Mr. Stratton distributed over a hundred carloads of fish in the lakes and streams of the state and over 50,- 000 eggs of g^me birds and 10,000 adult quail during the last two years, far greater activities will be carried on during the next biennium, if house .bill 657, which has passed the house and is ndw on second reading in the senate, is enacted into a law. This bill which appropriates 600,000 dollars from the game and fish fund (derived from hunting and fishing licenses and not from taxes) to be used by the new department of conservation in providing more game and fish, marks a new era in Illinois legislation. We hear much talk of the "common people," but this bill makes a real move for their interests in providing $365,000 for the purchase and maintenance of shooting and fishing grounds, open to any one who buys an Illinois hunting and fishing "license Only one member of the lower house voted against this bill and the six hundred thousand sportsmen who furnished this money sincerely hope that this record will be even exceeded by the senate.
