IT IS A PERFECT SILO. Why put up a temporary Bilo when one can be erected that will last forever? Why put good money into Silo that will burn like tinder, when you can invest it in one that is absolutely proof against the fire demon? Why buy a Silo that will keep you awake on a stormy night wondering if it yrill be standing in the morning when you can get one that would not budge in a cyclone? Ask yourself these questions and try to answer them. Can you satisfy yourself? - - - " - - , * MONOLITHIC CONCRETE SILOS are not an experiment. They have been thoroughly tried out and not a single good argument has ever been brought against one that was properly built. If anyone tells you that a Monolithic Silo will crack or fall down do not take his word alone. Ask the man that owns one. We can tell you where there are Concrete Silos that have stood for ten years and are as perfect as the day they were built. If there is no one in your own locality that has one drop us a ̂ ard and we will give you the names of some of our satis­ fied customers. If you are going to build a Silo this year do not buy without investigating our Silo. - - • " * * <v:--1 IW " ."V . USING THE POLK SYSTEM . /"t •?" : <- % WESTMcHENRY, ILLINOIS FOX LAKE WEEKLY REVIEW -BY JACK HALL- .«* 4# Miss Ruth O'Boyle, society belle, is visiting her sister, Frances, at Wauke- gan, making her absence conspicuous by sending her friends a series of post cards. Miss I re tie Crowell of Chfetfgo was • week end guest at Scbulz's hotel, where she was entertained by Thos. Shanahan. The population c$> Ingleside was in­ creased March 22 by the addition of one new inhabitant, when a baby boy was bora .to Mr. and. Mrs. John Mc- Avoy. Mrs. C. B. Culyer, one of die "400" of Janesville, Wis., visited Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dandurand during the past week. At the conclusion of her stay Mrs. Dandurand accompanied her home for a short visit in Wisconsin. The Dandurands have recently moved from the O'Boyle cottage on Forest avenue to the Marble cottage located in the down town district. A lively set-to occurred at Tngleside last week, creating a whirlwind of ex­ citement in the vicinity of Washington avenue and the intersection of the rail­ road tracks,' the preliminaries being 'staged in Coleman's emporium, where Doctor Willey, known to local fame as equine physician and demonstrator of bovine temperature, and Jos. Custer, ex-superintendent oI the Brophy stock farm, indulged in a physical discussion, preceded by a verbal clash, the.result of a misunderstanding which seemed to hinge on the interpretation of financial transaction between the gen­ tlemen in question. Grabbing each other in a vice like grip they struggled for the mastery, finally falling to the floor, where during the struggle the doctor lost a portion of the cuticule of his proboscis, thus the honor of draw ing first blood was automatically award­ ed to Custer. At this stage of the pro­ ceedings fahe irate proprietor called a halt and they unfolded their anatomies and stood erect, after which he ordered them t» the back yard, to which they repaired and gave a bad imitation of a bear daboe, accompanied by hoarse maledictions intermingled with a shower of expletives, imprecations and dire threats of bodily injury in connec­ tion with shrieks and expostulation on th? of Mr?, Huha, Jfehe r«ptau_n&Gt- lady, imploring the doctor to refrain from annihilating Custer, as he was the head of a large family, when sud­ denly Asst. Chief of Police Hendricks appeared upon- the scene and endeav­ ored to separate the contestants,, his efforts being rewarded, 'tis said,s by a "light to jaw" that disturbed his whiskers and equanimity at one and the game time, causing bim to vig**. *&>>. • ,-r f t - ' • TV ' ' •" >* ' : ously apply his club to the cranium of Custer, which brought the melee to a close. Ex-Asst. Chief Geo. Jackson reports everything peacable at pres­ ent. * Beautiful Spring Signs of spring are beginning to multiply in the Fox Lake region. We are not going to enumerate or cata­ logue them, but will merely state that they are the usual stereotyped events that herald the approach of beautiful spring that fills your soul with ̂ beauti­ ful thoughts that always seem new and inspiring, causing you to dream of apple blossoms, picnics, dotted swiss dresses, singing birds, bright sunshine and delightful temperature and other thing too numerous to mention. IthMl N*tM County Superintendent Simpson was a recent visitor at the school. * The first grade will start the drama­ tization of the Three Billy Goats Gruff /this week. The principal recreation of the girls and boys at present seems to be jacks and marbles* Alice Spiczak of fourth grade has been absent from school this week on account of sickness. Eveline Buenting has again returned after recovering from an operation for her tonsils and adenoids. Lloyd Schultz bas again reported after being confined at his home for a few days with a bad cold. Geo. Stanley and Kathrene Halpin of third and fourth grades, respective­ ly, have had a perfect attendance rec­ ord for the year up to date. Each of the teachers- vvas recently presented with ten ($10) dollars by Mrs. Jas. Halpin on behalf of the Ladies' Euchre club with which to purchase books for the school. . The club has al­ so ordered a new book case for one room, while Mrs. J. G. Brown will do­ nate one to the other room. Theatrical 8*MM Open* The opening of Koeth's theatre, Nlp- persink avenue and Holland Place, under the management of Messrs. Tweed and Sehrers, our new theatrical magnates and motion picture im­ presarios, proved to be a huge success for the initial performance. There was as--outpouring of the. population, including members of the "400" and the cream of Fox Lake society, that taxed the capacity of the building al­ most to the limit. The screen for the pictures was arranged at the east end of the building, to left of which was installed the electric orchestrion, con­ sisting of piano, bass drum, snare drum, flutes and triangle, in charge of Geo. Koeth, who acted as "deader" of the orchestra. Three reels of pictures were shown, including a two reel fea­ ture entitled "The Strike Breaker," depicting the stirring scenes incidental to the successful conclusion of the great strike, in which the leader played the part of the hero, finally winning the plutocrat's daughter, receiving for­ giveness and living happily ever after­ wards, etc. You know the story. The third was a double comic, entitled "Riley and Shultz and the Jealous Husband," involving the idiosyncrasies of an exaggerated portrayal of a couple of policemen, whose facial contortions afiid bodily antics incidental to their efforts to capture the escaped convict, formed an irresistible appeal for laugh­ ter, which was generously responded to by the enthusiastic audience. The jealous husband was modeled on more conservative lines, but proved a close second as a means of entertainment. In fact, it is within the bounds of truth to say that we have seldom seen better pictures in the Fox Lake region. Im­ mediately after the performance the chairs were cleared away and dancing was in order. However, Miss Kath­ rene Halpin and Miss Alice Spiczak, two school tots, had the first dance be­ fore the performance was over by oc­ cupying the space between the audience and the screen during an intermission. The huge electric orchestrion sent forth a volume of perfectly synchron­ ized musical melodies that submerged the audience into an ocean of joy, caus­ ing the male contingents to scamper across the floor, halting in front of little ladies arrayed in festive attire, who smiled, inclined their heads and arose, gracefully extending their right arms, which were gently grasped by the gallant young men while they deftly encircled milady's slender waist with their right arms, after which they defined a series of graceful undulating gyrations, chatting gaily or whisper­ ing soft words couched in terms of en­ dearment into each other's willing ears. Some of the exponents of terpsichorean art deserve special men­ tion. Robert P|*ice, the ex-dancing master, assisted by Miss Daisy Biddi- son, gave a demonstration of the Poetry of Motion" that was a model of grace and elegance, while Forest Gerretteen and Miss Sigrid Lund per­ formed rythmic waltz evolutions, mak­ ing every move a picture, every pose a work of art.

Several political announcements were thrown upon the screen, impor­ tuning the people to vote for the fol­ lowing candidates: J. G. Brown, C. H. Ostrander, F. C. Shultz, "Red" Muench, J. J. Walsh, Ray Morril and C. F. Pas- deloup. The performance was repeat­ ed Sunday evening, a large audience being present, among which was oiir political Demosthenes, Reinhold "Red" Muench^ Immediately after the close of the performance he occupied the rostrum and commenced an oration, reviewing his administration as presi­ dent and director of the school board and progressed to a discussion of the political situation and was beginning to dilate upon the issues of the day when someope switched off the lights. Unterrified he continued his remarks until the music was started, which created a volume of noise that failed to harmonize with the vocal efforts of our "orator," who subsided without delivering apostrophe or winding up with a pyrotechnical peroration. The festivities closed rather early, owing to the opening dance at the Krasney resort, Mr. Koeth generously loaning his merrymakers to Peter Joh^uaXoi the occasion. •» FOR VILLAGE CLERK I hereby announce that I will be a candidate for the office of village clerk at the election, April 15, 1913. 41-Adv , S.
