' .7 Basket Ball Friday • The McHenry high schoor basket ball team will meet the Richmond highs on the home floor in a return game on Friday evening of this week, at which time the locals expect to re­ deem themselves for the defeat reg­ istered against them at Richmond a short time ago. McHenry has the advantage of playing on their home floor and this, together with the fact that their work has improved quite noticeably, should be sufficient guar­ antee to the fans that they will be given their money's worth. The game will be called at the customary hour, while the1 usual prices of admission will prevail. Turn out and let your presence and voice assist the boys on to victory. Who's Guilty? Lake Geneva Herald: The stage was all set for a serious accident at the depot New Year's day and, but for the timely aid of a bystander, the acci­ dent would have been a fact. A man bought a ticket for McHenry, who, had been celebrating more or less and was a little wobbly on his legs, at­ tempted to get onto the 4:17 train after it had started to pull out. He succeeded in getting a good hold of the railing, but could not get his feet on the steps, so he was being dragged along the edge of the platform until a man, seeing his predicament, helped him up on the step just as the train stopped. It was a mighty close call. Basket Social A basket social will be held at Lincoln school, near Burton's bridge, on Saturday evening, Jan. 41.

Hie Borden company, which har­ vests hundreds of tons of ice here an­ nually, is all set for the opening of the season and just as soon as the ice reaches a thickness of from twelve to fourteen inches the work will start. At the present time the ice measures but a trifle over eight inches and if the weather man will only send a couple of more zero days the work here will begin. Superintendent J. E. Pufahl df the local Borden plant informs us that he has received a large number of appli­ cations for work on the ice and from present indications it looks as if he will experience very little trouble in getting plenty of help for the annual "harvest season/which covers from five to seven weeks. The work of scraping the show from the surface of the ice was start­ ed on Monday morning of this week and will continue. This is done to give the ice a chance to thicken more rapidly^ but even this will not suffice without the zero brand of weather. According to past seasons, the ice harvesting season at Borden's gives employment to from sixty to seventy men.

This, naturally, is slower work. While the ice is run direct from the ice nfeld into box cars, it means the hoisting and packing of same and also the delay in switch­ ing the cars. However, in spite of these disadvantages, the work goes steadily on and it is really surprising the number of cars that are loaded and shipped in this manner in a sin­ gle dajf." "X;:- , # .

"Wilbur and Lynn Richards, vice president and cashier, respectively, of the United State Bank of Crystal Lake, are to acquire the control of that bank thru a purchase of stock from Fremont Hoy, president of that institution The amount involved and to be paid to Mr. Hoy for this block of stock is between fifty and sixty thousand dol­ lars, the exact consideration not be­ ing named. Mr. Hoy will, hereafter, be kept fully occupied in caring for his many other business interests, which in­ clude the Hoy Banking company of this village, the Bank of Ringwood, Ringwood, Illinois, the Peoples' Life Insurance company of Chicago, of -which he is vice president, together with six farms in four different states, comprising about 1,700 acres of crop lands,, three of which will be directly operated the coming year by the owner. Bejng freed from his responsibility at Crystal Lake, Mr. Hoy will be able to get more closely in touch with his interests in MbHenry, and therefore Crystal Lake's loss will be McHenry's gain. Patrons of the McHenry and Ring- wood banks Will be pleased to know that Mr. Hoy will be more closely affiliated with these institutions in the future, which means more business and better service, if such a thing js possible. \His banking experience mfckes him a valuable asset to any community and we dare say that his presence in McHenry and Ringwood will mean a great deal to this com­ munity, as he is a man of wide ac­ quaintance and conservative methods, which, together with his square deal­ ings and honorable business transac­ tions, will make his presence here quite keenly felt in the future. VICTIM OF INFLUENZA ITEMS OF L0C4L Miss Susie Herbes Dies at Kimball Home In Chicago Sunday "That death loves a shining mark" was, proven when Miss Susie Herbes was called to her heavenly reward on last Sunday, aged twenty-two years. Miss Herbes was a daughter of Wm. Herbes of this village, but was reared ia the home of her aunt, Mrs. John Bowers, at Spring Grove. Here she grew to perfect womanhood, loved and respected by all who knew her. Her kindly disposition won for her the friendship of all her acquain­ tances. About two years ago she went ihto the employ of the W. Kimball family at their beautiful home on Chase ave­ nue, Chicago, remaining in their em­ ploy until the time of her death. Decedent contracted influenza and in spite of all the best medical aid and the assistance of a trained nurse she passed away on Sunday evening last at the Kimball home, where her absence will be felt as a member , of the family. The remains were accompanied here on Monday evening by her aunt and uncle, Mrs. John Bowers and Fred Justen, and were taken to the home of her grandfather, John Justen, on Elm 3treet, where hosts of friends re­ viewed the remains of one whom they loved. Her funeral was held at St. Mary's Catholic church in this village on Wed­ nesday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Re­ quiem high mass was read by Rev, Edward Berthold, pastor, who also preached the funeral sermon.-. Six of her girl friends, who deeply mourn hei4 loss, acted as honorary pall bearers. They were Misses Mae Keefe, Frances Freund, Ella Hue-, mann, Barbara Smith, Mrs. Ford Jack­ son and Mrs. John Weber. Miss Herbes is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Russell Turner and Mrs. Ernest Huff of Solon Mills; Mrs. Henry Krapple .of Volo and Mist- Helen Herbes of North Dakota. Mrs. John Bpwers of Spring Grove* who has always been a mother to her and with whom she made her home, is grief stricken at the loss she has suffered and mourns her as an only daughter. Acting pall bearers of the deceased were six of her young friends, who tenderly laid the body to rest beside her mother in St. Mary's cemetery just north of the cjturch. May her soul rest in peace.
