Because we believe that $ou would be interested in taking a trip over this vast territory with us, We're going to tell you just a little fait about this region of nearly half a mmdred lakes that extends from Chicago to the Wisconsin line, sixty miles north. The lakes are all within a two imurs' drive from Chicago and many actual needs in order to really equalize opportunity in this state. The cause for the framing of the resolution was the cutting of the Waller Bill, asking for $13,000,000 State Distributive Fund, to $1,000,000. The resolution in its entirety is a very fine document and contains several fine points and these men who represent the educational side of Northern Illinois* are to be compli mented upon their work andv it is hoped that the State department will pay heed to the contents. While we cannot mention them all perhaps the most important resolution of the whole article is the first one, which recommends that as a protection to the children, they are in favor of a physical examination for every teacher in Northern Illinois MANY NEARBY ACCIDENTS LISTED M'HRNRY PEOPLE INJUR. ED IN CRASH j , . .. ,; every year and that this physical exjersons spend late afternoons and aminatiori be paid for by the Board •brly evenings bathing, fishing or pic- of Education. There are many teach- Jdcking at the various resorts, mak fcgr this one of the most popular re» >*<Kt districts in the state. Over the week-ends the lakes are, course, at the height of their popularity, as are also the excellent paved highways that lead to the high points of this charming land o'lakes. A network of good gravel roads link most Of the lakes together and afford so tnany different and interesting routes that motorists may make two or three vacation trips a week during the good old summertime without visiting the same spots more than once. The ageof automobiles has made this possible and have been the means of opening much of this territory to the pleasure seekers of Chicago who can now enjoy these late afternoon and ilterly evening furloughs from the oity's congestion and heat. - Except over the week-ends the sevt£ al good paved roads are far from Ifcing congested, but on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays there is naturally a big difference, but the re- Ward at the end of the trail more than many ers in our schools today, some of them, possibly to be found right hftre in the schools of our little city of Mc- Henry, who because of their wornout condition and poor health cannot do justice to their work and are irritable and unreasonable with their pupils, and who are not fit to instruct in our public schools. That the superintendents realize this is made evident by their resolution and yet they continue to 4rire these teachers year after year. It is to be hoped that these leaders of our schools will continue to work for this point until it is recognized by the state and made a law. Another recomendation »is that every elementary teacher in Northern Illinois after 1934 have at least three years of training beyond high school graduation. This will do away with the multitude of unprepared teachers who are trying to get schools every year. Arfpthefr good recommendation is that every grade and high school li «.„i, U«P *fo r ^4-ue traffic •i nconvenience. i brary have at least five books per u in to reference 5oo£ Many of the motorists are beginning j and that 8eventy_five ceIlts pupij to take advantage of the good gravel u„ . . , ,. v. . roads where it is possible to avoid 8pent each ye*r on the- upkeep of the elementary' school libraries and caStchr fiafsc'iSnat"ing a nplicatuir^es "oTf irSurSal «»« «•» I- »pe»' year on the Illinois from the country byways, and many of these roads link the various lakes into a network of unexpected , scenic surprises, ^ New Road Open The newly paved road from Antioch Fox Lake is now open and affords another drive to the lake region. We will start at MicHehry and go north aa far as Antioch, which is the hub of the lake region. Of course, before we leave McHenry we do not want to forget our own nearby McCollum's lake where new subdivisions are being opened this year. The river is dotted with subdivisions and cottages on the way to Pistakee Lake, one of the oldest and best established resorts in the region. Pistakee Lake and Pistakee Bay with their many scenic islands upkeep of the high school libraries They also go on record as favoring a fifty dollar bonus from boards of education to every teacher, now em ployed in Northern Illinois, who does* the equivalent of six weeks of summer study at a recognized institution of higher education. These are all very worthy points and the entire resolution goes to show that the superintendents and principals are working for the good of the student, for which they are to be commended. pay a small ^charge for parking privileges, which include picnicking and swimming. For those who desire to spend the week-end or several days at the lake of their choice, cottages and wonderful shore line, as well as! als° be rented. * their high hills extending skyward from the blue waters, were named »fter the well known Pistaqua Indian ; tribe, whose memories wilfc, never jbe fffrgotten. Nature's Paradise . Bald Knob is one of the highest Elgin Man Seriously Injured • Body «f Woman Found In Fox River Accidents and drownings resulting in many deaths have been numerous in this district lately and occur not only over the week-end, but many fatalities take place during the week days as well. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that many are now enjoying their vacations and the warm weather calls than to the country and near the water." Mr. and MTS. Gordon Smoak and the tatter's brother, Edmund Wirfs, had a narrow escape from death last Sunday night when the car in which they were riding was wrecked by a careless motorist. The accident occurred just the other side of the Palace, near Antioch, where the traffic 'is very heavy, especially on a Sunday night. A car pulled out to pass the Ford coupe which Mr. Smoak was driving and in so doing collided with a car coming from the opposite direction, breaking their steering gear and causing them to hit the Ford coupe. The coupe was struck with such force that it was pushed to the shoulder of the highway, off the cement, hopelessly wrecked. with the lights, radiator and front axle broken. Edmund Wirfs was badly cut about the head and was taken to Antioch, where four stitches were taken in a gash under his eye. Mr .and Mrs. Smoak were badly bruised and cut by the flying glass and the former has a bad cut in his leg. The other cars were damaged slightly. Although the offender tried to make a get-away after being the cause of a general pile up of traffic, in which several cars were bumped, he was apprehended and the case came up for settlement at Antioch Wednesday. It is this passing of cars which h the cause of many accidents and endangers many lives during the heavy traffic of the summer months and should not be attempted unless the driver possesses a level head and a keen eye. Mr. and Mrs. Smoak and Edmund Wirfs may consider themselves lucky to escape with their lives. Park Musser Injured Several of the largest lakes in the state are outside the immediate Antioch and Fox River region. These include Crystal lake, Bangs' lake, at 16-year-old boy stumbled over the Wauconda, Lake Zurich and Lily lake, body of Otto E. Russell, 45 years old, was seriously injured Thursday night shortly before 7 o'clock when his car struck a culvert and went into the ditch and upset, on a dirt road onefourth of a mile south of Maple Park. The evening was chilly and Mr. Musser reached over to the right side of the car to turn up the window and as he was completing this task the car left the road, struck the end of the culvert: and overturned into the ditch, wrecked beyond repair. The driver sustained a minor fracture of the skull jujpt above the eyes, a dislocated jaw, two dislocated fingers on the left hand ,three broken ribs and a slight puncture of the left lung, besides other cuts and bruises. He was rendered unconscious and was rescued from his predicament by a nearby farmer.

July 17. Nearly four thousand employees and guests spent a most enjoyable day. _ The company generously leased, all rides for the day and everything, including ice cream and cracker-jack, was free as air. Throughout the day all ridts were crowded to capacity by the carefree throng w' u for a day were monarch of all they surveyed. Only those employees absolutely essential to the operation of the properties remained on duty. A "Million Dollar" Golf tournameift featured the morning program. In this event, held at the beautiful Fox Valley County Club, each player, bebore teeing off, was handed $5,000 in stage money. With this he bet with his opponents at every conceivable hazard. The prize winners were those who returned to the clubhouse with the most money. A horseshoe pitching contest proved a most popular event in the morning, while the afternoon was featured by a swimming and diving tournament and a group of employee games ranging from sack races to nail driving contests. Every contest was closely followed by a group of enthusiastic "rooters." In an open-air meeting at 5 p. m., a prize drawing was held, several guest and employee prizes being awarded. Speakers included W. M. Willett, general manager, who acted as chairman, George R. Jones, assistant to President Samuel Insull, John F. Egolf, operating vice-president, and C. H. Kallstedt general sales manager. John W. Gunderson, general manager of the Aurora, Elgin and Fox? River Electric company, was general picnic chairman and the smooth functioning of all program events was due largely to his efforts. A. E.- Schmeiser, general claim agent, presented McCarter medals for life saving to the following employees: Charles Kerber and Jack Bressette, Elgin; George Warfs and Victor Trinko, La Grange; Frank Spoden, Wheaton. Certificates for assistance in these cases presented Guss Menutz and Curt Kreuger, Wheaton; Edward Superman, La Grange, and Emil Kuehner, Elgin.

Haupris made the confession last Thursday afternoon, shortly after the Plaindealer was on the press with the story of the cold-blooded murder of the Woodstock man. Circumstantial evidence gathered by the county officials was so convincing that there was nothing left for the young murderer to do but admit his part in the gruesome crime. The admissions he made corresponded very closely to the facts as printed last week. The grand jury in session vat the court house last Friday returned an indictment charging Haupris with the RESTORIUM LAND ^ > SOLD BY SHERIFF WiT fit "Brooks Purchases Fifty-two . Acres of Ground For Sum of $2,025 The fifty-two acres of land owned by the McHenry Restorium was sold at a sheriffs sale at the east door of the courthouse at Woodstock on Tuesday, July 23. W.D.Brooks of Wauconda was the high bidder and obtained the land for $2,025. Five judgments in favor of Anton Freund, Fred C. Charles. H. R. Luebbe, William Bacon, and the Alexander Lumber company will be met by the sale of the property belonging to the corporation, which was organised under the laws of the state of Illinois. , And so ends another one of Mc- Henry's fond dreams which was thought to be a sure thing and one of the most desirable and substantial of all business enterprises. Many people of McHenry, Woodstock and the surrounding country invested money and purchased shares in the corporation and all they will ever get for them is what they have already been given, the paper upon • " f& : which they are printed.

On Pistakee Bay are to be found the Pistakee Yacht club, Oak Park hotel, Bald Knob and Mineral Springs hotel while among the many hotels on Fox Lake are to be found the Mineola and the Lippincott hotel. Among the cities and towns included in this lake area are to be found lakes are all joined together by small channels. Other large bodies of water in the vicinity include Roupd lake Lake Villa, Long lake, Loon take, B*ep. Crooked, Fish, Sullivan, DiaaUKid, Wooster, Druce, Sand, Millmore, Twin lakes and Gray's lake. Fox, Channel, Deep and Crooked lakes are among the more popular. Not all of the water frontage on these lakes is open to the public. A greater part of the frontage is the lawn of summer homes and privately owned cottages and it is rapidly becoming almost impossible to find any place to get to the water's edge but swimming holes and picnic ground foi the use of the general publif will be found at each lake, where boats arc •bo for hire.

Friends of Russell said he left last Thursday after saying he was going to McHenry for a few days. A hunting license, issued July 11,* was found in his pocket. Michael Dredling of Chicago, who found the body, notified the authorities and an inquest was held Thursday night. It was found that he came to his death from a gunshot wound in his head. It was thought that the man killed himself either accidentally or intentionally. Body Found In River The body of an unidentified, well dressed, middle aged woman was found floating in Fox River opposite the Yacht club swimming beach at Fox River Grove, Friday afternoon, and presented another death mystery to McHenry county officials. Coroner E. H. Cook of McHenry county and Marshal Joseph Bohmon of Fox River Grove were agreed upon the theory that the woman took her own life and are seeking the identity of the drowning victim. Chicago radio stations broadcast a description of the woman in an effect to ^establish her identity. Several swimmers at "the beach had noticed the woman pacing up and down the shore Thursday afternoon and other residents of the community had seen her on the streets during the day. She seemed worried and appeared as though her mind might have been affected. The body was discovered by two men who were fishing in the river Friday afternoon and was brought to the shore. There was not a mark on the body, indicating tha; fhe woman had taken her own life by walking into the water. Boy Fatally Injured Rubin Swanson, 15 years old, of 6717 Berenice avenue, Chicago, was shot in the back of the hfead and fatally wounded on Friday while hunting at Lake Catherine near Antioch, where his parents have a summer cottage. He died at the Libertyville hospital without regaining consciousness. At ident, praised the spirit of helpfulness he had found throughout the organization and predicted unlimited possibilities for such a company. He impressively stated that the door had been definitely closed on the old-fashioned relationship between the employee and the company where the worker got his pay envelope and nothing more, enumerating the many things the management had granted the employees to show, in a measure, its appreciation of their sincere efforts and work well done. Among the privileges granted are the employees' saving fund, special rates on gas and electricity, group insurance, e m - ployee's suggestion system and the employees' prospect plan, each of which mean a pecuniary reward to the employee. After a day of continued pleasure, many were heard to pronounce the event as one of the most "pteoicky" pionics ever held. LAMPHERE-N i>BLE NUPTIALS AT ELGIN A wedding which will be of interest to many McHenry people took place in Elgin last week when Miss Ella Dee Lamphere, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lamphere, of 325 Ryerson Ave., Elgin was united in marriage to J. Thompson Noble of Hammond, Ind., son of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Noble of Wheeling, W. Va., Saturday morning at eleven o'clock. murder counts. - , Following.the return of the indictment the confessed murderer was brought into court. He was taken to a side room off the circuit court room where he stayed until called to the bar by State's Attorney V. S. Lumley. He was represented by counsel, Attorney J. S. Lyons, a former attache of Robert Crowe's office in Chicago. Attorney Lyons asked for a continuance on the groands that he wanted to talk over the case with Haupris and also his family. - Arraignment July 29 Judge Shurtleff granted the request of the Chicago attorney and set July 29 as the date for the arraignment of Haupris. At that time Haupris will have to either plead guilty or not guilty. Judge Shurtleff said that following the arraignment on July 29 that if Haupris pleaded not guilty he would set the trial for the middle of August which would give the defendant plenty of time to prepare his case. However, the general belief is that Haupris will plead guilty and will throw himself on the mercy of the court. The defense move Friday was on the part of the family and not Haupris himself. Haupris told Lumley that he would not claim insanity, although many believe that that will be the move of the Chicago attorney. Haupris did not appear very nervous when brought into court, although he looked pretty tough. He wore a white shirt, khaki trousers with leather puttees, the same outfit he wore when arrested Tuesday night at the Kittenball league park by Sheriff Sanford. He needed a shave badly and lopked tared. He said nothing in court as his attorney took care of everything. It is said that he told Lumley anthe stock in this territory and it is re parted to be through his mismanagement of the funds that the big proposition "fell through". The idea for the restorium was cone oeived by M. H. Detrick, owner of the Hanly estate, who surrounded himself with business and professional men who formed the nucleus of the present corporation. Work on the institution was commenced about two years ago but the work never progressed farther than the excavating for the basement, and the excavating for the forms for the foundation. The restorium was to accommodate 200 patients at one time and was to be equipped with mud bath operating room, electric appliances and nothing was to be overlooked in the purchase of the most modern apparatus for the treatment bf all diseases. Two upper floors were to be devoted to rooms entirely and on the roof was to be located a large sun bath. In August, 1927, the Plaindealer printed ! sketch' of the exterior view of the building which was at that time thought to be an assured thing for McHenry, and which it was hoped, would open up a new era of business activity for this locality. Th ecost of the building, which was to be 220 x 100 activity for this locality. The cost of half a million dollars and it was promised to be the biggest fhtifgf igver offered for McHenry.

Those who know ShurtlefTs attitude on the death penalty say that he would not hesitate; in passing a death penalty in such a case. It is understood that if the death penalty is pronounced that the execution cannot take place until the latter part of October as the law says a person cannot be executed until a certain number of days following the meeting of the supreme court and the latter meets the first part of October.
