A petition was filed in the county court at Woodstock last week by which it is intended to form a drainage dis­ trict to reclaim and drain about 1,000 acres of land in the towns of Nnnda and Wauconda, the latter town being in Lake county. The petition liled bears the names of Theo. Hamer, H. N. Given, E. H. Hughes, G. A. Vasey, F. E. Wilson, John Bfow, John Dowe, N. Donne) 1, Thos. Dowell and Michael P. Worts, who represent one-third of the land owneris in the district sought to be reclaimed. "Stubby" Smith, the ever popular manager of Smith's hall, is to be com­ plimented on his stand taken against the latest freak dances. The writer is informed that a sign reading: "No tango, turkey trot or bear c^t dances allowed in this hall, by S. H. Smith, proprietor," has been placed in his hall. A person with common sense will appreciate this move and it is hoped that neighboring proprietors of dance halls will follow Mr. Smith's admirable example. To supplement the above we will say it really is a disgrace that in our modern day, when people want to be so far advanced in knowledge, that such low >na immoral dances are still indulged in. Natural­ ly, it shows poor character, when such heathenish recreation becomes a pas­ time. A cleaning out of some of our rag-time composers would do a world of good. Why can't we have some good waltz, two step, redowa or other clean dances? Let's make a move. Who will assist? UOLCUHBVIU.lt. Miss Nellie Clemens spent Saturday at W. J. Beiser's.

SMOOTH SMOOTHS 1511: problems from many of tM cost kinks In that it reduces the hand labor of the carpenter to the minimum. That's one of the little secrets that enables us to - Ip • out customers beat the building gjtme. Years ago when labor was cheap it didn't matter how lumber came to you, whether it was rough, of uneven size or odd lettgths^-your carpenter could use it, but that w.ouldn't do today. Lumber manufactur­ ers foresaw this and got busy establishing standard uniform grades, installing special machine ery to do automatically the work that the carpenter formerly did by hand. All this cost them money, but the actual saving to the builder, who uses this finely finished lumber, more than off­ sets the small additional charge asked by the manufacturers Come in and look at tlrts stock-- you'll then understand w]iat we're talking about.
