Capron has had a •Jong siege of road building but it n ^finally completed.

Tfrt State Highway department is to complete the paving of Route 176, that wiU extend from Lake Bluff to Wauconda to Burton's Bridge on the McHenry county line, this summer, it was indicated.recently when it ordered the dismissal of two condemnation proceedings in circuit court. The paving is completed from Lake Bluff to Wauconda. Nels Pearson's store and the Frank Burchfield garage at Kingston were' robbed earfy Saturday morning of last week. The former store reported $50 in silver, $10 in pennies, 5,000 cigar ettes, 4,000 cigars, gloves and playing cards missing. Entrance was gained through a rear window. The garage lost a set of wrenches and accessories. To gain entrance the robbers broke a window and jimmied a door. . Lester Edinger, Woodstock's newly appointed chief of police, is now patrolling his line of duty via a motorcycle. The new chief's machine arrived last Saturday. Mayor William R. Burns and members of the city council feel sure that the addition of a motorcycle to the police force will be a big help in taking care of the traffic problem in the county seat. John Carricici, Chicago, died at Lake Zurich when a car in which he was riding turned turtle after the driver had left the road, thinking he was on the highway, according to reports made to Coroner J. L. Taylor • of' Libertyville recently. Carriciei'a head was pinned under the car which turned turtle and the force of the pressure of the upturned machine j was so great that the head was crushed. Three young men from Chicago, who are in more trouble than they can straighten out for some time, have admitted having robbed h$ld at the Community high school auditorium on Sunday evening, May 26, with the thirty-three members of the graduating class aa guests of honor. The stage presented a beautiful out of doors scene with ferns and the class motto, "»Build for Character^ Not for Fame,"' in the class colors of green and gold completing the stage setting. Streamers of green and gold were also strung from arches forming a canopy over the seats reserved for the graduates. The seniors in caps and gowns marched to their seats while one of their number, William Vales, played the march. A mixed chorus sang, "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," after which the invocation was given by Reverend Reed of Richmond. Reverend Windham Bonham, who was to give the invocation and benediction, was not able to be present, having just underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Wesley hospital 'in Chicago, and his place was taken by Rer. Reed. The invocation was followed by a cornet solo, "Serenade," by Ral^h Justen. Ralph is also a member of the graduating clas and he, as welf as William Vales, who played the opening march, have been active members of the high school band and orchestra, as well as other musical organizations during their years in high school, and jio doubt, they will be missed in these organizations riext year. Pr. FVnend Delivers Address The cornet solo was followed by the address of the evening delivered by- Rev. Fr. Robert Freund of Aurora and was an instructive one for the students, full of good advice and counsel for the young people. • Among other good things he brougKt out the point that without a religious education the student's life is not complete and urged that the young people give heed to the teachings of the Bible and give much time and attention to the development of the moral side of their character. This impressive address was followed by a vocal solo, "My Task," by Henrietta Greeley, a member of the senior class. This program was distinctive in the respect that every number of thf musical part of the program was given by members of the senior class where much talent is displayed. The program closed with the, benediction. A larger crowd than usual was in attendance at the services the auditorium was nearly filled with attentive listeners. This respect and interest shown the senior class, as is Ho. 52 L. A.

"That all sounds very well," replied the gifted dontine of the city's best known church, "but I am taking two or three months of fishing, canoeing and camping in the north woods with my family.

I actually have a vacation all the time," rejoined the president. The minister took his vacation. That fall when he returned almost the first thing he did was to preach his young friend's funeral sermon--a valuable man gone at forty-two. He left several millions to his family; his presence would have meant much more to them. Poor fellow! He had never learned to play.
