MARY'S SCHOOL Crowd at Community High School Auditorium on Thursday The animal commencement exercises ran by the graduates and pupils of St Mary's school were given at the Community high school auditorium last Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. The program which was given as published was made up of three parts and was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience which completely .filled the spacious auditorium while extra chairs were brought in to supply the demand for seats. With many of the spectators standing during the program it goes to show the great amount of interest taken in these programs. I The entire entertainment was well l^tndered and held the attention and i'• nterest of the spectators throughout the evening. Each one of the characters in the different plays filled his or her part in a very able manner ; wnd cannot be over praised for their excellent work. The many varied "costumes as well as the way In which the program was carried out plainly ' demonstrated the great amount of time and attention that had been given to this entertainment to make it the success which it proved to be. The first part of the program was the Circus Parade at Teeney-Weene- Ville and was carried out >n a most realistic manner by the younger children of the school. No part of the : circus was missing in this performance and they were all ably impersonated by tile little tots dressed in appropriate costumes from the popcorn boy to the band which played America in a most patriotic manner. This part was closed with a piano L duet by Clarice Miller and Louise Kilday and a trio by Marion Weingart, Evelyn Justen and Wanda 8mith. Other musical numbers were given during the evening.

JOYCE KILMER PLAYERS TO APPEAR TOMORROW At the opening performance given by the Joyce Kilmer Players of "Conquered" at the Great Northern Theatre, Chicago theatre patrons paid four and five dollars for main floor seats. They are bringing the same play with the entire original cast to the Community high school auditorium on Friday night, June 24, as a special attraction in the Jubilee program of St. John's church of Johnsburg. But, of course, at greatly reduced prices. "Conquered" is a new play by William Roeder and has met with an unusual amount of success throughout the middle west. The coming of these players is of special interest locally for most of the present cast spent soihe weeks in this region last summer while on location for a feature moving picture. The Alvernia symphony orchestra will be an added attraction and will supply the incidental music for the production. Because of the splendid reputation that has preceded the Joyce Kilmer players, they should play to a capacity audience. Seats are on sale at Bolger's drug store Nye's Jewelry store. : - '• For Mt.

Bohr pitched good ball and was given good support except in two innings in which the locals erred. The Grays are playing good ball now and are confident of defeating the State Line, team this coming Sunday at Lily Lake, State Line is more than confident that they can take this game without much trouble but so are the Grays. Robertson has been saving his arm for just such an occasion and the game promises to be one of the best battles of the year. The new bleachers at Lily Lake and the new diamond give assurance of everyone being able to see a good game in comfort- i Opened to Traffic The short stretch of cement on Waukegan street between the Park hotel and" the railroad tracks was opened to traffic last week and it is now with a great deal of pleasure that motorists can reacn Woodstock on a first class cement road, the entire distance.

This state probably has more mounds and ruin* of these ancient villages than any other state.

IfcHenry County will be called on to pay approximately $25,000 for rights of way on the proposed state cement highway from a point north to Richmond connecting with the Wisconsin state line to Crystal Lake, where connection will be made with routes 19 and 22, it was disclosed by a report suj^mtited by the roads and bridge committee to the board of supervisors at Woodstock on June 13. The distance will be substantially twenty miles and traverses three townships. Much of the highway will be newly created because all of It will be 80 feet wide instead of 66 feet as has been the rule heretofore in state highway building. The new state highway is expected to carry an especially large traffic because it taps the lake regions with Chicago and will be a direct outlet from the Illinois metropolis to the Wisconsin and Minnesota lake territory. Rights of way will cost at the rate of $150 per acre, it is estimated.) Most of the highway building rights have been obtained through the township of Richmond; work is progressing satisfactorily in McHenry and Nunda townships, it is claimed. Already about $15,000 has been pledged for land to be taken for the proposed highway, according to figures presented and approved by the board at its summer meeting last Monday. It will be the first 80 feet wide state highway to traverse McHenry county. Concrete ribbon will be twenty feet wide and shoulders and curbing of eight feet on either side, thus providing wider space for motor traffic ar.d also offering opportunity for vehicle travel. Supervisors adopted the prescribed resolution vesting the roads and bridge committee with power to institute legal proceedings where the rights of way cannot be obtained from land owners. This ' will expedite matters in connection with the state highway department getting action on the road during the present season. Contracts for road building have been awarded, but thus far have not been accepted. Doubtless announcement of acceptance will not be made until rights of way and dedications are entirely secured, it is understood. The route from the Wisconsin state line north of Richmond to Crystal Lake is among the projects in road building expected to be installed this year, according to information from road authorities at Springfield. McHenry county has been advised of a refund of $11,"561.01 for concrete installation completed during the administration of Gov. Edward F. Dunne. Short strips of concrete were installed on highways radiating out of Woodstock for which the county was to be repaid in due time. During the present week notice of warrants being issued to pay the amount due in two installments been received at the office of the county clerk at Wfoodstock. One warrant will, be for $6,196.13 and the other for $5,364.88. Placing the two warrants to' the credit of the road building fond of the county will greatly reduce the obligation incurred in obtaining file rights of way from Richmond to Crystal Lake. The money from the state comes at an opportune time, members of the road and bridge committee admit, "ft is an advance Christmas present," said Supervisor Kuecker of Seneca. "The county can use it advantageously," he added as he explained how nicely it will fit in at this time.
