The city mail oarriars of Woodstock are sporting new uniforms. The citizens of Lake Geneva, Wis., are amusing themselves with sewer talk these days. Elgin is already planning on Its mu­ nicipal lighting plant, which is to be­ gin operations in 1915. The Richmond poultry association will stage its first show some time the latter part of January. The train service on the new road between Palatine and Lake Zurich has been most satisfactory thus far. Cows brought an average of $68 per head at an auction sale held by L. E. Sweet near Richmond recently. Wauconda is soon to have a new lumber yard. Work on the new en­ terprise, we are told, will begin at once. A ninety cent gas league is to be formed in Waukegan. The purpose of the organization is for a better and cheaper yas. The creamery at Antioch, which has not been a payiug proposition for some time past, went out of existence on December 1. The first of the men who were in­ jured in the explosion at Waukegran last week was a'-.le to leave th^ hospi­ tal on Monday la^t Twenty-eight s i l o s have been erect­ ed in Nunda township during the past year.

Mr. Ellison will take up truck farm­ ing and, altho this is a new thing in small towns, he hopes to make a big success of same. State's Attorney David R. Joslyn of Woodstock has instituted a war on the Chicago <!fc Northwestern railway com­ pany to compel that cor|»oratioa to comply with the Woodstock ordinances in regaitl to the speed at which trains may be run thru that city. Crystal Lake experienced a $10,000 •ire on Friday, November 2'J. The fire started in a tailoring establishment when an emploj e caused an explosion by putting a hot iron in gasoline. The fire spread from the tailoring establish­ ment to the store of O. C. Colby and a flat. I 'atrons of the Bowman Dairy com­ pany at Harvard are very much satis­ fied with the new m,erit milk system which was put in fojxe by the company this fall. Under the oew system the company oiffers a premium of 10 cents per hundred over the regular contract price for milk th,at scores above 65 per cent. The McHenry Co,uuty Soil Improve­ ment association is now aft established fact. It has secured its ©harter and has adopted a constitution and a set of by-laws. According some of Mc­ Henry county's best oitiaens the move­ ment is one ol the most important in whe history oJ this county. Thirteen and possibly fourteen will be the total number of deaths caused by the explosion of the Corn Product's dry starch house at Waukegan last week.

Among the towns vis­ ited were Libertyville, Lake Zurich, North Crystal Lake and MoHeury. The party decided that a water system like that of Lake iurioh's would till the bill for their village. LIFE MEMBERSHIP DISCUSSED. At a recent meeting of the members and directors of the Pistakee Yaoht club in Chicago a plan to sell life mem­ berships in the cluh for $100 was dis­ cussed and practically agreed upon. It was also decided to raise the annual membership fee for resident members to $10 and non-resident members to a year. A committee W M also ap­ pointed to draft new by-laws. Always something good going on at the Central with the "movies." Adv SCHOOL NOTES McHENRY HIGHS DEPEAT DUNDEE PIVE AT DUNDEE. Joe Michels is a new pupil in the eighth grade. Wm. Pyke Behlke is a new pupil in the sophomore class. Mamie Ibsch and Florence Kinsala were visitors this week. Evidently Miss 'Beatty partook of too rdjijch Thanksgiving dinner. When Letah was asked to write about Chickamauga and Thomas all she wrote about was "Thomas." Genoa Junction boys wish to play M. H. S. team, of which the average weight of the players is 125 pounds. Apparently^Dodge and Nickels are about to take up dressmaking. They have already purchased the necessary- patterns. Neill Dohertv and Agnes Tesch gave the orations this week. The former spoke on the "The Value of Athletics," while the latter had for her subject "The Value of an Education." McHanrv Swamps Dund**. McHenry defeated Dundee last Fri­ day evening at Dundee. This makes seven victories for McHenry and one for Dundee and very plainly shows that McHenry for four years has had better materia] in their team. Our boys were handicapped by the large and slippery floor of Dundee's gym, and also by the new A. A. F. rules. Gothard was the beaming ray of sunshine for Dundee, while Bonslett did justice to himself by making fourteen field throws and a free throw. The boys now are in the hands of Coach Manock and can consider last Friday's victory due largely to him. He played several years on the Pontiac H. S. team and also on the team that won the central states championship. He was, until he came here, assistant coach of the Chicago university team and can, be­ yond all doubt, put our boys in the championship path. Hurrah for Doc! M. E. CHURCH BAZAAR. The M. E. church bazaar held at Stoffel 's hall last night proved a big success and the members of that church are more than jubilant over the result. The supper was partaken of by a large number of people and was of the order as only the ladies of that church know how to prepare. One of the novel fea­ tures of the affair was that each booth, six in number, represented a day of the week. We are told that nearly everything was disposed of. The farce, "Bargain Day at Bloomstein's," was full of fun and afforded more than a little pleasure for the large gathering present. Besides the farce several musical numbers were presented, all of which received a hearty applause from the audience. We are told that about $200 was taken in and with all bills paid there should be a nice sum left to go into the church treasury. SHOOT AT MERTES'. Taking the weather conditions into consideration, the shoot held at Jos. J. Mertes' place at Pistakee Bay last Sunday was well attended and proved an interesting event. The larger per cent of those who participated in the shoot was made up of local followers of the sport and the best record for the day in single events w as made by the manager of the shoot, Jos. J. Mertes, who succeeded in breaking twenty-four out of a jiossible twenty-five birds. Win. F. Holtz of this place carried away the first prize, he getting 115 out of 150 targets. M. I* Worts came in for second honors, while Theo. Schiessle was awarded the booby prize. All toldf the shoot was pronounced a success and had the weather been more favorable a big list of entries would have taken part in the day's sport. McHENRY TOWN TEAM WINS. The McHenry town team met the Dundee town team at the village hall here last Saturday evening. The game was the first that the locals had participated in this season and taking this into consideration the boys cer­ tainly put up an excellent article of ball. The McHenry team won the game by a score of 27 to 7. Robison, at center, was the point maker for the locals, while Raush did the best work for the visitors. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: Martin L G Bullock R G Robison C Hunter R F Page L G Nickels S Bright Raush Fay Rowe Dupie Beller A PINE ATTRACTION. Theater goers of McHenry and vicinity were treated to something out of the ordinary at the Central opera house last night when "A Royal Slave" was presented to a fair siied audience. The play is taken from Old Mexico and is an intensely interesting one from start to finish. An abundance of special scenery was used and this, together with the splendid costuming, assisted in making the attraction one of the most clever presented here this season. The show will appear here again on some Sunday evening soon. UNI VERBALIST CHURCH SERVICES. Sunday school at 9:30. Services at 11 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone.

Adv The McHenry Ladies' Social Wheel, a new organization made up of mem­ bers of the Uuiversalist society, will hold its initial meeting with Mrs. I. A. Hungerford on Saturday afternoon of this week at 2:30 o'clock. Ben Stilling and his gang of carp seiners have ceased operations for the season. The seines were pulled in last week. The season was not of the very best. We understand that about 2,600 carp were landed by the seiners. The mill pond was frozen over for the first time on Wednesday of last week and on Friday the youngsters tried the ice. The skating did not last long, however, as the warm south wind of Saturday put an end to the sport for the time being. The free sewing machine demonstra­ tion in the Schumacher building on next Tuesday, Dec. 10, is something that every lady in McHenry and vicin­ ity should take in. A free sewing machine is going to be given away to some lady. Don't miss it Adv The first big fall of snow of the sea­ son visited McHenry and vicinity on Monday morning of this week. For some time it certainly did look as if winter had arrived in real earnest, but by nine o'clock all was over and the mantle of white soon disappeared.

Adv The front windows of the G. E. Schoel buffet have recently been con­ verted into a small-sized museum. One of the windows is decorated with pen­ nants of a number of our states, while the other is occupied with relics ol various kinds. The windows are draw­ ing considerable attention from pedot* trians. Walsh & Rothermel's city hotel has recently been refitted with new mat­ tresses. The old mattresses, which have done service for the last six months, have outlived their usefulness and in view of the fact that the coming cold davs will bring frequent callers to this hostelry it was deemed advisable by the village otfteials to make the im­ provement mentioned. Hoboes, kindly take notice- ,
