OF OUR EXCHANGES Wt:- ?k *Se OVER 600 VISITORS AT FORMAL OPENING Aflsortment of News Items In Condensed Form 74f 4 y Busy Peopl« V * One grirl and three boys of Waukegan are held in the North Chicago Jail on charges of disorderly conduct. ; The girl and the boys had spent the past week in a barn located on Dugdale road. The girl and one of the boys admit intimate? relations, the two having stayed in three different hotels three different nights. The balance of the week they stayed -in the aforementioned barn. A hearing has not yet been given to the culprits. James Morris, 19, of Zion, was arraigned in justice court Friday afternoon on a warrant sworn out by his step-father, A. J. Anderson. The latter charged that the boy repeatedly has taken out his car without his permission and on several occasions is alleged to have returned home in an intoxicated condition. He charged also that the boy would not go to work. The court fined Morris $10 and costs. The boy was unable to pay the fine at that time but promised to go to work and pay in two % weeks. Two divorces were heard and granted in the circuit court of Waukegan on Friday, August 13. Mrs. Margaret Spellman, nee White, was granted a divorce from Peter Spellman Jr., on grounds of cruelty and William A. Morro, also of Waukegan, as freed from his wife, Grace, whom he charged with being intimate with another man. Walter Consol, of Chicago, was arrested in Elgin one day last week . at the request of the state's attorney's office of Cook county. Consol was taken to Chicago by Sergeant F. A. Brink and will be questioned relative to the disappearance of a number of automobiles from Chicago. Webster Perzigian, 19, of North Sheridan road, Waukegan, was arrested Saturday morning on a charge of larceny preferred by his employer, Jack Levine, proprietor of the Waukegan Tire Market. Levine charges that Perzigian stole auto tubes and ; accessories to the value of more than ' $100P The case was continued to August 18 and bonds have been fixed at $500. The police are questioning Perzigian. While Mrs. Julian Dvorak was attempting to light a gasoline stove in her home at Fox River Grove, Tuesday, the whole stove burst Into flames which spread over the kitchen and but for the timely appearance of the fire department would have destroyed : the home. Mrs. Dvorak suffered a severe bum on her leg but was not Seriously injured and the Fox River Grove fire department extinguished the blaze before serious damage was done. The people of Round Lake were shocked Wednesday morning to learn that some time during Tuesday night burglars had entered a number of places including the depot, post office, and drug store, ransacking and doing a great deal of damage. By checking over the loss with officers from the sheriff's office the amount realized by the robbers will possibly run over $600. No clues have been reached as to who might be connected with the robbery. Hie locks on the garage of an Elginite and two screens were removed from the building one night last week, apparently by someone planning to rob the garage. The owner and his family are on a motor trip to Minnesota, thereby leaving the premises without habitation. However, neighbors heard the noises and investigated the matter. The wouldbe- thief made a get-away without taking anything from the garage. Oliver Kugelman, aged 17, of Lake Zurich, was shot in the left leg last Friday evening, when a revolver, from which he was about to remove the cartridges, was accidentally discharged. He was rushed to the Victory Memorial Hospital where he was properly cared for. He is now getting along nicely. Siebert Stimes, 56, of Zion, was arrested at five o'clock Monday night after the police had been called to the home of Mrs. Frank Bron where they were informed that Stimes had walked into the house as if he owned , it. Relatives of Stimes came to Wau kegan later in the evening and took him back to Zion. They asserted that he acted queerly ever since he suffered a sun stroke. The Waukegan Township High School is among the twenty-four schools chosen as "honor schools'1' by the war department, according to a dispatch received from Washington This recognition is for especially high standards of military training and <ftBcipline jnaintairted jp their junior units of the reserve officers training corps.

Fine ftaypwwe To Iwritatidnof West McHenry Merchants The formal openings of two of West McHenry's new stores last Saturday proved to be even a greater event than the owners anticipated. N, J. Justen & Son, furniture and undertaking, and William H. Althoff, hardware, had announced the opening day and invited the public to inspect these modern business establishments. Three times as - many people responded and registered their names as was estimated before the day began. Favors were to be given out to ladies, gentlemen and children and the proprietors thought that they had made ample provisions for taking care of the visitors, but by noon they were compelled to again stock up on flowers and cigars. Over 600 persons registered at each of the two stores, thereby becoming eligible to win a beautiful prize from each place. Messrs. Justen gave away a fine large mirror which was awarded to Mrs. Henry Freund. Mr. Althoff had announced 'hat he would award a beautiful silver set to some lucky person. This was given to Mrs. Peter A. Freund. Both proprietors desire to extend their thanks for the fine response to their invitation. 0. A. R.

Therefore the matter was brought before the city dads and a discussion followed. It was finally decided that public sentiment wat> against the location and the gas company acceded to a request to place it somewhere outside the corporation. Protests were made by the McHenry Kianis club against the placing of the sphere on the contemplated site. Floyd E. Covalt, vice-president of the club, was present at the meeting and voiced the sentiments of his organization. A. E. Nye, president of the nigh school board also spoke, stating that fu had found public opinion agali^t tin location, and, on behalf of tne school board, offered to take over the property that the gas company had bought. The property in question is in the northeast corner of the Herbes Addition, sub-lots 2 and 3 of lot 1. The school at present owns sub-lot 1 and needs the two now owned by the company. Mr. Owen, representing the gas company, was present and told the council how the company felt in regard to the matter. He stated that the sphere was absolutely necessary to give the territory the proper amount of gas, owing to the increased number of lines and meters. When the present extensions are finishd the company will have 1,200 meters installed. The Horton's Sphere is a large ball which will contain 150,000 cubic feet of gas. It will be forty-five feet in diameter and somewhat higher, being installed on a platform* It will be aluminum colored and the grounds surrounding it will be beautified with shrubs, grass, etc. Work is expected to start immediately on the installation and when finished the local patrons may expect a much better pressure than sometimes was had in the past when the users were operating their stoves.

Picnic Postponed Due to the lateness of the threshing season the Farm Bureau picnic, originally set for August 26 has been postponed to September 3rd. After talking the matter over with members of the executive committee and other interested farmers it seemed probable that the attendance would be small should the picnic be staged on the date first selected as threshing would still be on in full swing.
