Mrs. Kaiser is recovering rapidly from her severe illness and is now able to sit up a part of time. Mrs. C. C. Clark was quite ill a part of last week and all four children were unable to attend school for nearly a week. All are now able to be on duty. « The pupils from here that attend school at McHenry have had a hard road to travel for several days. The boy that drives lives on the E. J. Thomas farm and the road near the Durkee farm has some very bad places, some almost impassable. Henry Hobart and family drove up near Harvard Sunday to call on Mrs. Hobart's sister, Mrs. Julia Lincoln, who has been very ill. They found her very much improved. They were just in time on their trip up to see the Waukegan-Woodstock bus burning near Joe Paull's. Frank Kaiser and Joe Harrer drew some brush and straw on the road where it was so bad, the place near Joe HarTer's or used to be the Durkee farm. This work was done Monday. The road now is passable. It needs grading and gravel.

This is the last one of Borden's factories to close in this locality, although the farmers have known for some time that such a move by the company was imminent. The large milk concern^ feel that the investment and expep^e of oper ating the small local factories, which operate only a few hours a day, is too great, whereby the milk is taken to Chicago where the factories are run twenty-four hours a day. with comparatively less cost. The Bowman company is also closing many of its milk plants through out the country and now have only five operating out of a former twentytwo, having closed seventeen of them during the last few years.

Prter Meyer Has Narrow Escape While Operating Tractor on Donald Hunter Farm. Peter Meyer, an employee of Donald Hunter on his farm, south of this city, narrowly escaped death Tuesday afternoon while running a tractor. Having returned from Crystal Lake where he and his employer had gone to vote, "Pete," as he is best known in this locality, where he has lived for the past two years, went to the field to do some plowing with the tractor. In some way his clothing became caught in the belt ^heej, shaft of the tractor drawing him into the machinery. His position was, indeed, a miraculous one as he fought to free himself from the shaft. With his clothing literally torn from his body he succeeded in pulling himself away from the wheel, but not until he was severely bruised and torn. His right shoulder and arm were the most seriously injured, although his entire body is bruised and it will be some time before he is able to get about again. EMMERSON IS FOE PAVED HIGHWAYS G. O. P.

Johnson, chairman of the Republican state central committee, issued a broadside T.uesday against Secretary of State Emmerson and his promise, if elected governor, to give Illinois more and better roads. Instead of agreeing with Mr. Em* merson's contention that he Is one of the original champions of paved highways, Mr. Johnson accused him pointblank of being among those responsible for delaying the start *on the $100,000,000 program. Is Tote Catcher "The opponents of Governor Small are not now and never have been in favor of a state highway system, benefiting all the people." said the Republican leader. "Any claim that they are is merely for the purpose of catching votes. "In the Chicago territory they are promising 'secondary roads,' a plan which has been tried out in a number of neighboring states and in which 'many millions has been wasted without any benefits to the people." At the time the $100,000,000 bond called a meeting of all the candidates on the then state ticket and that Mr. Emmerson, one of heir number, "gave his pledge" to the support the bond issue. Pledge Is Broken "I am not prepared to say what the influence was which caused him to violate that pledge." he added, "hut 1 do know that he did not support the bond issue, never spoke one word in favor of it. and since thenhe has been one of the men back of the scenes pulling the strings and seeking to hamper construction of highways under the $100,000,009. He accused the candidates of "seeking to confuse" the voters as to the reasons why a greater amount of roads were not built in 1925 after the world's record of 1,230 miles had been established by Governor Small the year before. "No. man knows better than he the cause of this slackening in road building," maintained Mr. Johnson. '"No one knows better than he what efforts were made by opponents of Governor Small to stop entirely road construction in .Illinois." Restriction On Fund Senator Dunlap, "working as the emissary of Mr. Emmerson and the capitalistic press." attached a restriction to the bond issue bill which provided no work could be done on the $100,000,000 program until all of the $60,000,000 previous issue had been under contract. "This apparently harmless amendment gave the enemies of Governor Small the opening they desired," said the statement. "They stirred up discontent and caused court proceedings which were not cleared until last year. Mr. Emmerson has been interested, directly or indirectly, in every move to tie up road building. "What have the voter to expeet in the way of hard roads from a man who always has opposed them and today is more than ever under the dictates of the capitalistic press, which sneerlngly refers to the wonderful high- WALLS" IS COMING TO | ADELPHITHEATER i Acknowledged one of the most interesting productions made in New York this season, "4 Walls," John Golden's latest dramatic offering, comes to the Adelphi Theater, Chicago, beginning Monday nightr April 9th, after a run of twenty weeks in Manhattan. '4 Walls" is a gripping, thrilling, powerful drama of gangster life on the Lower East Side of New York, written by Dana Burnet and George Abbott, the latter well-known as the co-author of "Broadway." Mr. Abbott also staged the play for John Golden. It has commanded unusual interest and review recognition from many of the ablest writers of the day for its sincere and penetrating study of the forces which tug and pull in the bosom of an ex-convict who is de- Work Has Started a ad " Meek Will Be Completed % • Jane 1 McHenry has experienced a wonderful growth in recent years, especially during the past year, and the season just opening promises to be another busy and flourishing one for this city in the tine of construction work. Riverside Drive is the scene of our story this timew here Kent & Company, McHenry's hustling real estate firm, will erect a modern and beautiful store and office building. Work is already underway to prepare the ground for the location of the new building and the small offices have been moved to clear the space for the new structure. Kent & Company will continue to occupy their old quarters until the new building is ready for occupancy when the smaller buildings will probably be torn down. Larger Quarters Needed Owing to their increasing business in the real estate line, Kent & Company felt the need of larger quarters for some time until at this time, with the promise of a very busy and bigger than ever season opening up, they felt that more room with better equipment and modern improvements was a necessity if they were to do justice to their growing clientele and increasing patronage. Good Business Site Their present property where' thty have been established for the past two' years or more constitutes one of the outstanding sites on Riverside rive,; being situated on the west side of the street just around the corner from Route 20 -end across the street from, the Riverside hotel and just a few steps from the Fox River, and is aT most satisfactory one in every respect for the location of their new building, which will be distinctive and a credit to their outstanding location. The building will be a pressed brick structure, practically fire proof, and modern in every respect and will :4' "& termined to "go straight. „ , Mr. Golden has kept intact the orig- measu*e 22; by 70 feet. It will b« inal cast, which is headed by -M- uni- composed of three separate stores of Wisenfrend, who was drafted from the Jewish Art Theater for the big role of "Benny Horowitz" and whose sterling performance has merited the most fulsome praise extended to any young actor on Broadway during the past decade. In presenting this play John Golden has departed somewhat from the type of play for which he is best known to the theater-going public, but he has kept to his accustomed high moral and social purpose in play production and through it will add legions to his present vast army of admirers. "4 Walls" employs exciting weapons--the eternal triangle, a block party with music and dancing, a meeting of the gang in a bootleg cafe, a street war with the invading gangsters, a rooftop scene, fighting, shooting, quarreling, the theatrical tension of conflicting forces. Sentimental episodes, telling dialogue, picturesque East Side figures complete a thickly-painted can- *The cast is large, numbering thirty speaking roles. Besides Muni Wisenfrend, important holes are in the hands of Jeanne Greene, Bella Finkle, Averell Harris, Clara Langsner, Edward Keane, James C. Lane and Jacob Frank. BEN J.

Other contracts have not yet been let but bids will probably be opened this week. The advancement of Kent & Company in their line of business has been a rapid and successful one in this territory and they have now branched out into larger fields with offices at Crystal Lake and Genoa. They have built more than twenty houses in the Fox Rixer District in the last few , years and have opened and disposed of many sub-divisions along the river and have done a great deal towards the growth and improvement of prop- * cently purchased him a 176 foot frontage on Elm street and Route 20, instead of 132 fCMr. Dietz has not announced his plans in regards to the property as yet.

Mr. Ritt formerly occupied the Tempus Fugit shop on Elm street and suffered quite a loss when it was destroyed by fire a short time ago.

So it appeared on Wednesday morning when the Ford delivery truck owned by Albert Barbian, which was parked in front of the Everett Hunter building on Green street, coasted across the sidewalk and into the front of thl|e vacant store room formerly occupied by the Atlantic & Pacific, smashing one of the plate glass windows.
