EARL WALSH, R. & Good News For Fishermen That many of the local followers of the rod and line will start at once to plan for their summer's fishing trips may be the case when they read that last year there were hatched and turned back into the waters of the state of Wisconsin 1,600 muskellunge. ranging in length from four to nine inches. In the history of fishieries this is the first successful attempt to propagate muskellunge, but now the fear that this species of game fish would gradually become extinct in Wisconsin is no longer felt. k 1 ' To Form New Club Mrs. George H. Johnson entertained eight young ladies at her home Wednesday evening. Bridge and bunco were played with first prize going to Clara Stoffel and Mrs. Anna Baron received the consolation. Refresh mentis were served at the close of a Two members of the Chicago Regional Planning association were guests at the dinner meeting of the McHenry Kiwanis club last Thursday evening, the meeting being held at the Niesen Cafe, with a good attendance. The two visitors were Robert Kingery, secretary and assistant treasurer of the Planning association, and F. W. Penfield. Both of these gentlemen gave short talks and exhibited maps showing the plan of their organization is, one idea being the creation of forest preserves extending across Kenosha county, Wisconsin, down the Fox River valley, connecting up with the Indiana border line, trying to eventually get a uniform system of recreation places Nearly 1,000 separate governing bodies make up the metropolitan region of Chicago. A circle, wi*'1 a radius of fifty miles from the loop, surrounds or touches most the counties whose population may commute to and from Chicago. In this area are: Parts of three states; 7,800 square miles of land; fifteen counties, in whole or in part; 320 townships; 250 cities and villages; 400 school districts; sixty park districts; twelve sanitary and conservancy districts and a large pumber of drainage districts. There are about 4,200,000 people in this region, approximately 3,050,000 in the city of Chicago. Outlying centers are growing at a faster rate than the city of Chicago itself. Today the population of Chicago is three-fourths of that of the region, and estimates for 1950 show Chicago will have only about 60 percent of the region's population. While the physical growth is usually well guided by each municipality, not always do the plans of one fit with the plans of others at their common boundary lines. Some co-ordination of these many individual street, highway, park system, zoning and other plans is advisable, in the opinions of these municipalities themselves, and to this end they have joined in forming and maintaining the Chicago Regional Planning association. ' Messrs. Kingery and Penfield were pleased to learn of the proposed park system for this district and assured the members of the Kiwanis club that if they could be of any assistance they were ready and willing to help. President Covalt announced the appointment of the following committees for the ensuing year: Agriculture--Peter W. Frett, chairman; M. H. Detrick, Julius Keg, Albert Purvey, William H. Tonyan.

The Snow had gotten into th§ ignition system and the car was stalled.

After unhitching the tow rope he was still able to bring the fifteen safely into McHenry.

Farmers of McHenry county had the opportunity of listening to Earl C Smith, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association in the main address of the day at the annual meeting of the Farm Bureau held at Marengo, January 12, 1927. Mr. Smith discussed some of the farmers' legislative problems and the difficulties in the way of securing adequate farm relief legislation. He alsfi pointed out wljy the burden of taxation has in creased so much faster on farm prop erty than on other classes of property. In brief, the farmer's handicap has been the lack of organization while practically all other classes have been so organized as to command abundant consideration before legislative bodies and taxing boards. While farmers are not yet organized to the extent that other industries and labor are, yet the set-up is now such that farmers are commanding more attention at the hand of congress than ever before. The chances for relief legislation in this session of congress, Mr. Smith pointed, were good although no certain prediction could be made along this line. We would be much surer of carrying the day could we increase our organization membership forty or fifty percent. About one hundred and fifty farmers were present at this meeting even though the day was stormy. The program was carried out practically as advertised, the reports of officers were read and approved and new officers elected. Frank M. Barber heads the Sunday at Pistakee lake.

Captain Kirk Schroeder and his lightweight quintet played a stellar game of basketball in a curtain raiser with the Crystal Lake quintet in a hot and close game which resulted in a victory for McHenry by a 20-18 score. Harrison thrilled the audience with two cleverly sunk baskets, which made McHenry rooters yell for joy.

C . immediately. V The accident occurred at 3:35 , o'clock as registered by the stopping u -' j . " of Mr. McCabe's watch, which was ; ' broken at the time of the impact. Two other men were at work shov- - eling the gravel into 'a truck, which * jA f : was being hauled to the shore of Lily • ^ ^ Lake, being John Stock, carpenter, and Theodore Wagner, laborer, both of McHenry. These men had narrow escapes from the same fate, both jumping when they saw the bank begin to slide. Mr. Stock was struck on the shoulder with a small portion of the gravel, but suffered no serious injury. Mr. McCabe had a ' contract with Sampson, Sex & Co., to dredge out a portion of the lake and to out in sev-^ eral thousand loads of gravel along the shore line. He had been working for months with a dredge and sand sucker and had just begun to see the results of his labor when he was so suddenly called to attswer the summons of death. The body was found terribly man- t gled when taken from the gravel pit* A broken neck, fractured skull, broken arm and leg and internal injuries were- Reported after an examination was made. When the large chunk of frozen earth fell it struck with awful force, but only one leg "of the victim was buried beneath the gravel. Joseph McCabe, a son, was driving one of the trucks. He was on a trip to the lake at the time of the accident, only a short distance away. Immediately following the tragi# accident, word was telephoned to Mc» Henry for aid and several men re* sponded. Residents of the city wera shocked when the message was con*- veyed that "Pat" MftCabe had beeif . people of the community, being well 3 and favorably known to all. . 'fy Coroner E. H.
