SHOWS HOW BAND PROPOSAL WORKS People of DeK alb Are Well Pleated With Its Municipal Band Accomplishments How the municipal band proposal, which is to be voted on here at the April election, works out in real practice is shown in the experience of De- Kalb, 111., community. DeKalb was the first Illinois municipality to adopt the two-mill band levy after the Illinois legislature passed the municipal band bill in 1925, which permits the villages and cities in the state to levy a small tax for band purposes. Organized during the Spanish- American War as the Third Regiment Band, the DeKalb musical organization held a notable place in the community for many years. MLoney for its support was raised by popular subscription, and an additional $600 was voted annually for the band by the city council. But, as is usual in such cases, this method was found unsatisfatcory, and early in 1925 the citizens of DeKalb went to the polls and voted to take advantage of the state law to build up and maintain a band. DeKalb realizes about $5000 a year for its municipal band, and the expenditure of this money is one of the duties of the band board. A highly tr-.lined band leader. J. W. Jeffers, employed on a part time basis, drills the band players who now number forty-five. A regular feature of the band activity is the open air concerts which are given every Tuesday evening during the suimrer at the city nark. A city auditorium for DeKalb is now being planned- which, when ccmpUrd will allow land also to gi- > p» rfoimances indi>rs during the « 11 wether s^son City t 'ficials genereily applaud the resu1'? of the new bend ar '< ngement.

ALGONQUIN SCOUTS IN BIG MEETING Pistaqaa Heights Club to Connect With Route 20 By j00-f«*_^ Private Driveway An article of interest to residents' of McHenry and surrounding territory appeared in last Sunday's issue of the Chicago Tribune. The Plaindealer is pleased to reprint it foi* the benefit of those who may not have had an opportunity to read the article: "A Syndicate composed of members of the Pistaqua Heights Country club has acquired 505 acres lying between the property of the club in Lake county, on Pistakee lake, and the cement road (Route 20) running between Waukegan and McHenry, according to an announcement made yesterday by J. Scott Matthews, president of the organization and chief examiner of titles of Cook county. The club is in the Fox Lake district. "The syndicate proposes to put through at once a 100 foot private driveway from the cement road to the club, with an ornamental entrance for club members on Route 20. "With the control of this property in its hands it claimed that the club is now the biggest golf club in the country, in point of acreage. It now hils 1,075 acres, of which it is intended 1,000 will be used exclusively for golf. The other seventy-five acres will be used for divers outdoor sports. Syndicates of members either own or have under contract more than 1,500 acres, exclusive of the club's property, so the organization now controls approximately 2.600 acres. "It is proposed to have five championship eighteen hole courses, two putting courses, and one minature putting course on the property. Then there's to be an eight mile riding track through the club's property, and that controlled by its members. "A deep, spring fed lake is situated on a part of the club's land, and this body of water, called Lake Matthews, will be connected by channel with Pistakee lake." The 505 acres mentioned above is Annual Scout and Dad Banquet Held There Thursday Evening of Last Week Fifteen Scouts and their Dads were served a most delicious dinner, by their mothers, in the Congregational church of Algonquin on last Thursday evening.

The knife and hatchet stunt by Nason Radel was also a most interesting one. The history of the flag, by Joe Simoninni and the Scout oath and laws, by Stewart Bond were done in a way that was a revelation to all present.
