The money will be used in paying off a portion of the indebtedness against the church and when this has been done the parishioners snay rest assured that their beautiful edifice and church property is almost entirely free from debt. In speaking to tibl parish priest, Rev. Weber, over the telephone on Wednesday afternoon we were in­ formed that the money derived from the fair would go a long way towards clearing the outstanding indebted­ ness, altho the entire amount could not be wiped out at this time. The pastor as well as parishioners hope, however, that the total indebtedness will be cleared within the next year or two. They were in^the hopes of accomplishing this end this year, but jnforeseenv circumstances, such at extensive repairs to the church and jteeple, have made this impossible. The public card party on Sunday brought out a fine crowd and every­ one present appeared to enjoy same to the fullest extent. The winners vere rewarded with suitable prize? \nd at the end of the day's merrimen' everyone in attendance went homi happy. Wednesday was children's day and needless to say, the little folks mad< the most of it, general hilarity pre­ vailing during the time that was al- 'otted the coming fathers and mother* :>f Johnsburg. Thursday was the big day and a big day it was in every sense of thr word. The women of the parish lived lp to their former reputations by ^serving the most palatable dinner ar veil as supper that one was ever asked to sit down to and those whe n any way assisted in preparing anr -serving the meals are well worthy of the many pleasing comments that •vere thrust upon them by those whe ^at .down to the festive tables. The big crowd kept the various *tands, booths and -wheel of fortune more than busy until the closing hour it night. Everyone seemed to be bent in making the occasion a banner onf >nd that their efforts were not madr 'n vain is attestdB by the handsome 'ialance that has been left in thr hurch treasury as a result of the big went. The pastor as well as the parish- :oners of Johnsburg feel highly elated iver the splendid result obtained and they extend their heartfelt thanks to 3ach and every one who in any way contributed towards the success of St. John's 1916 eburch fair- Thanksgiving Family Gathering Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Sayler en­ tertained members of the Sayler-Hut- son families at dinner on Thanksgiv­ ing day at their farm home west of town. Four generations of the Sayler family were present. A group, in­ cluding Grandma Sayler, W. A. Say­ ler, Frank W. Sayler and little Viola Belle Sayler were photographed on the occasion and the picture will, be cherished by the members of the family. It was an ideal day and the guests were very pleasantly enter­ tained by this' happy couple, who seemed equally pleased with the memorable {fathering. Those pres­ ent were Mrs. Jane Sayler, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sayler, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hutson and family, home folks, and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Besley and sons, Vernon and Waiter, of Woodstock. Leave For Michigan Mr. and Mrq- ff C. urday morning for Kedfe~j|, Mich.,* to make their future home W ith their daughter, Mjfe. J. J- Davis. The venerable couple have lived in Mc­ Henry always and many regrets are heard on all sides that they could not remain imfefinitely, but enfeebled health rentered them unable to care for each o;her, hence the loving care of a dau^iter was considered best. mwh comfort and happiness may attend them in their new home is the earnest wish of their many, many friends. ] Public Sale Having decided to go out of busi­ ness the entire stock of the Fay 5c and 10c Variety store, West McHen­ ry, will be sold a*t public sale, com­ mencing Saturday, Dec. 9.

Roller Skating Rink Open McHenry now has a roller skating rink, John R. Knox, proprietor of the Star garage, having opened a place of this kind on the second floor of his building on Water street near the river bridge. He has purchased a fine new line of skates and lovers of the sport should appreciate Mr. Knox's efforts in giving them a suit­ able place for this healthful reerea- The opening took place on Tuesday evening of this week with a good crowd in attendance.

The High School Glee club opened the meeting with singing, after which M. J. Wright of Woodstock, acting as chairman, commenting very highly upon our school management and aimb for better citizenship, concluded by in­ troducing Frank T. Sheets, assistant maintenance engineer of the state highway commissioners, who spoke on the subject of "Good Roads," anu his topic was taken from experience, the greatest* of all teachers. He said in part: "In 1906 this state highway commission was organizeu for the betterment of roads in Illi­ nois. A committee appointed to dis­ cuss objective roads, tne preparation of road plans to bring'about prema- nent road beds, and alter years oi labor found they were on tne wrong side. Illinois ranks twenty-third ao far as road conditions or improve­ ments are concerned. Tne first step to be taken is in creating com­ munity prioe, bringing aoout co-op­ eration. if tnere are tftree commis­ sioners and tne worK is unsatisfactory elevate it by putting a director or trained mar. on tne job an of the time, for often a lack of knowledge in preparing tne bed for gravel roaua or lacK of proper p*ans nuuee wanton waste." home facts he brought to the minds of his listeners were uiat tmrty-tnree per cent of our appropriations are spent for road maenmery and it was not an uncommon condition to tind it rusting by the road fence; that ninety per cent of the roads in Illinois are earth roads and showed wnerem the waste of expenditures on our gravel roads was due to a lack of proper drainage. He spoke of the waste of labor and material, in filling ruts with gravel without a proper preparation for road bed and methought of the dis­ agreeable chuck holes so numerous on our village streets and the loads of stone so liberally dumped into them regularly. Unfortunately there were none of our street committee nor township commissioners present. A strong argument was that we can't afford to neglect good roads if we can afford to build them and as the disciples, of old said, "Think on these things." He also spoke briefly on "State Aid Roads." Miss H. M. Phillips then took the topic "Boys' and Girls' Club Work" and her talk along the line of club work was great, showing the actual and strength of her pupils. A beau- plans for organization and the results j tiful new dock has been placed in obtained. Her club motto was "Make the building, bought from the pro- Han. C, C. Pervier then gave an illustrated lecture on "Agriculture in Europe," pointing out many ideas, ways and means of the people in these countries and discussed at length the knowledge gained in a tour thru these countries four years ago. It was a powerful lesson in economy to Americans, the most extravagant people on the globe. The pictures were taken by him and were the finest of their kind ever shown in connec­ tion with this work. The institute workers will go to Richmond today, where new officers will he elected and the annual reports of committees given. Let us hope for a return of these splendid instructors sent out by the state of Illinois. Comfngr to the Central Florence Rockwell, the beautiful star who played leading lady for Nat Goodwin and Richard Mansfield and starred in many of the latest New York successes, plays the name part in the film version of E. P. Roe's book, He Fell In Love With His Wife." Forrest Stanley looks very handsome and manly in the part of James Hol- croft, the stalwart fanner, which part he plays with an appealing likeable- ness. A highly humorous caricature of the heavy drinking, poor cooking, Irish Bridget is remarkably portrayed by Lydia Yeamans Titus. Wilson Ostrom, the false husband, is played by Page Peters. Howard Davis car­ ries with his finished ability the part of Tom Watterly, the poor house su­ perintendent, and Holcroft's friend. With this able cast, the successful book and play has been made by the Pallas pictures into a strong, dra­ matic uid appealing love story. Opeplng Game Tom%«Bf The opening home basket hall game of the season will be piayed at the McHenry school gymnasium on Friday evening of this week, when Coach Dorr's 1916 basket ball five wilt wage battle against the team repre­ senting the Grayslake high school. The local team has played but one game this season, tnis being with the Wilmot team on the latter's floor a couple of week's ago, when the Mc- Henryitee came out victorious. We have been unable to secure any ad­ vance "dope" on the team that ap­ pears here tomorrow night, but, judg­ ing from the fine record that ha* been attained by Graysiake teams, we are led to believe tnat the visiton, will give a very good account oi themselves. Every lover of the sport is asked to turn out and lend their encouragement as well as voices to the support of the McHenry high school five. Gamo called at 8:0o o'clock. General admission, 25 cente. School Children Cook and Serve At the Prairie school south of thi* village hot mid-day lunches are being prepared by the pupils under the di­ rection of their teacher, Miss Gene­ vieve Knox.

This work is highly commendable and we congratulate this little teacher in adopting such plans for the health the best better." High school boys and girls present could not help being benefitted by her splendid talk. A. class in shorthand worked faithfully thruout the entire session. F. L.

In the unavoidable absence of Prof. H. M. Case, Hon. C. C. Pervier of Sheffield, 111., gave a splendid talk on "Farm Management," thus ended the afternoon session so instructive and inspiring to young and old. In the evening, while the children were entertained with an illustrated lecture on garments, cannings, vege­ tables and pig club ideas, the ladies held a meeting in the north room.
