Several tournaments tjiave been put on during the simmer , with the Chicago Evening Post driv- ..jfcig contest claiming the center at- ^iraction on Sunday, Aug. 25. The ATTEND INSTITUTE "= More than one hundred rural teachers attended the annual institute at Wiooodstock Friday, with' the county superintendent, Ethel • C. Coe, in .oharge. The meeting was held in the circuit court room at the court house where suggestions of importance to the teachers for the coming year were discussed. Among the teachers at the meeting were several from McHenry, including Miss*Mary Bolger, Miss Arline Harrison, Miss Carolyn Steffes, <|rum corps of the Americah Legion j Mathias P. Freund, Ruth Powers, -«f Evianston were also out at that | Kathleen Powers, Eleanor Conway and Members Disease Many Questions Of Interest, Resulting la Same Arguments Owing to the stated meeting night falling on Labor Day the regular meeting of the city council was held Tuesday night, Sept. 8, with the mayor, clerk and all aldermen present. - The first order of business was the reading and approving of the minutes of the last stated and subsequent meetings. This was followed by the reading and separately approving of the treasurer, collector and clerk reports. The current bills were read and ordered paid as OK'd by the finance committee. ' Alderman Bonsjett reported the complaints from residents near the clay hole of the burning of rubbish there. Aldermah Kreutzer reported complaints of the smoke nuisance caused by the low chimney at the laundry! Alderman Krause reported smoke nuisance caused by the George Stilling garage and the Riverside Dairy. It is \hought that /the burning o< rubbish at the clay hole will be discontinued and that possibly the laundry and others will build smoke stacks higher. Officer Walsh reported that he was not hired to attend to the sewer disposal plant and that Mr. Niesen's physical condition prohibited his going into the septic tanks and that some one should be hired to look after this work. Anyway, it is required that two mej Work together at these tanks as there is danger of being overcome by the gases. After considerable discussion the board decided by vote to hire a man at $30 per month for daily inspection of the pumping system and with the assistance of Marshal Walsh about one in two weeks for tank inspection and service. At this time A. E. Nye and two others from the Country Club Improvement association requested the board to improve the road within the city limits passing the Goodman property and the particularly bad spot near the Nye cottage to the city limits, very close to the Hughes property, also requesting the removal of stumps cut off ab«ve the ground, which are a menace to autos passing over them. A representative of the association stated that they were backed by half a million dollar investment in homes and property and that it seemed pro per for the city to improve the road within the city limits as an outlet for this travel. On being informed that the work had already been ordered done as early as last spring to Tony Freund and that it would be complet ed in the near future, the committee thanked the board. The holes in the pavement were dis cussed and are to be repaired at once. The water committee -asked for the information and advice of the entire board as to the cleaning out of the pld, original well situated within the /reservoir. t The attitude of the aldermen throughout the evening had been that of a boy waiting for a firecracker to explode and just now Aldermen Stoffel and Doherty had the first explosion. However, there were no casualties and it was finally decided to drop ancient history and to have a man clean the well out at once. By this time the whole bunch of crackers were snapping and exploding and just so with the aldermen and the mayor, not excluding the clerk, who appeared to have a grievance with the investigations of some of the aldermen and he was not at all backward in making his statements and verification, but it's hard to keep a fat man mad and in a short time the clerk was his jolly self again and asking the mayor and aldermen to excuse him However, the high tension continued and the points of discussion were; why the state had not paid for pavement on Elm street; the subjpect of stop signals at busy intersections; the matter of . the Green Street Business Men's association's $96 light bill of several years standing; the proper fee for the clerk to retain for the collection of city vehicle licenses; as to whether the delinquent vehicle taxes would be collected or not. In the matter of delinquent vehicle taxes Marshal Walsh was instructed to serve summons Wednesday morning and to see that every name on the list had their unpaid fee in by Wednesday night or tjo stand suit. The meeting adjourned at p. •a. * TRAFFIC IS HEAVY " OVER WEEK END HIGHWAYS ASK SVKRY DA No derious Accidents Reported lit Vicinity NVar McHenry--. Carnival a Succeie The annual Labor Day traffic rush began Saturday morning and became more intense towards night, the heavy travel continuing until late Monday night. The excessive heat of the week-end was an added incentive to thousand* of city people, who left Chicago by automobile, train, boat and even by airplane. Thousands of families returned from their summer homes for the opening of school on Tuesday and tourists were homeward bound at the end of August vacations, while many others were on their way to Labor Day celebrations or to spend the few days of vacation in the country. Labor Day is a double holiday and by the record-breaking traffic through McHenry it looked as if the public generally was on tlie move, with the largest crowds of the year out for their last holiday of the season. Labor's own holiday, the first Monday in September, has Jbeen set aside since 1884 and this year was one of the greatest demonstrations of the general prosperity of the American working man in the history of the country. McHenry observed the holiday with every other city in the country and stores, business houses and the postoffices were closed for the day, everyone claiming a holiday, ^ In addition to the steady stream of automobiles on the highways many special trains were run over the Northwestern lines and loaded passenger trains made the stop at McHenry on their way to Lake Geneva and Williams Bay. There was not much choice of highways, every one being crowded to capacity, one of the features of the traffic being the large number of cars with license plates from other states, showing that many tourists passed through this vicinity from nearly every state in the union. Labor Day constituted both the end of summer vacations and the close of the double holiday of the week-end and it was very evident that everyone in general desired to make the most of the vacation. Schools will now begin, vacations are drawing to an end and the country will settle down to a more quiet, sane existence, without the rush and hurry of the pleasure seekers. The streets* of McHenry have rather a deserted appearance after the congested traffic of the week-end and many of the resorters along the river and at the lakes have returned to their homes irt Chicago far the winter. Some of them will spend t;he week-ends here through the fall, while others have closed their cottages and will not return until another season. Over 100,000 Fox River valley citizens celebrated Labor Day, it is estimated, and large celebrations were held at McHenry and neighboring cities. Firemen Hold Carnival AC McHenry the firemen sponsored the carnival which was held in the city park Saturday, Sunday and Monday and which had all of the usual stands and merry-go-round for the children. ROWBOAT SINKS IN LONG LAKI : Five Boys Drowned on Labor Day In Waters Near McHenry-- One Other Is Rescued Jive young men from Chicago suburbs, frolicking in an overloaded rowboat, were drowned Monday afternoon in Long Lake, near McHenry, when the craft shipped water and A sixth youth, like the others unsank. v able to swim, clung to a drifting boat bench until his brother swam to his rescue. A crowd of 3,000 spending the holiday at Stanton's resort at the north end of the lake, saw the accident, which occurred 150 yards from shore where the depth wag 15 feet. The deed: ^ Harry Weteman* 1» years Old, 1S13 South 58th averoie, Cicero. * Everett Veldman, 19 years old, 144* South S9th avenue, Chicago. Cornelius Gelderloos, 23 years old, 2234 West 13th street, Chicago. George Ottenhoff, 21 years old, 116 Forest road, Hinsdale. John Hoving, 23 years old, 5906 Archer avenue. Chicago. Thomas Huizenga, 23 year* old, 1337 South Austin boulevard, waa rescued by his older brother, Peter. Monday night Ottenhoff's was the only body recovered although scores of boaters spent five hours dragging the bottom under direction of Sheriff Lawrence Doolittle of Lake county. There were 10 young men in the party spending the holiday at a Long lake oottage rented for the summer by ten girls. Witnesses said some of the Ave who perished were standing up and rocking their boat to amuse Miss Helen Browers, 1642 West 14th piece, and Miss Jennie Decker, 1413 South Ashland avenue, who were in another boat close by. Weighted by an outboard motor, the young men's boat sank so quickly that the girls had no chance to row to assist the five who drowned. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT SHOWS 321 PUPILS High STORE OF FORMER MERCHANT ROBBED The drug store owned'by N= H Petesch at Oak Park was robbed of over $200 worth of merchandise early last Thursday morning, which was not discovered until the owner arrived to open the store for the day. , The robbers forced an entrance it\to the building through the rear door and were very selective in their taste tAking a few boxes of candy, cigarettes, and toilet articles while their big haul was made in fountain pens and pencils, every one being taken at a value of more than $1.00. They also obtained $16.50 from the cash drawer. It is thought that the theft was accomplished in the early morning hours and with not a clue to their identity left the' thieves made an easy get-away. Mr. Petesch is a former McHenry business man and conducted a drug store on Green street for many years and his many friends here will regret this hard luck that has befallen him. School Has 170 and Grades Will Handle 151 Scholars days for the boys find girls of McHenry came to an end on Tuesday when the old school bell rane: again after three months of quie*\ and the youngsters of grade and hign school age may again be seen going to school With books under their arm^. St. Mary's parochial school did not open until Wednesday morning. The teachers engaged to teach in the schools for the year, as named in a previous issue of this paper, arrived ir» McHSenry the first of the week ready to assume school life. All the high school teachers are returning for another year and so are well known to everyone. Many of them have enjoyed trips during the summer, some have attended summer school, and others have worked during their vacation but, no doubt, they are all ready for another busy and successful year of school.

The awarding was made Monday night by a committee of judges, composed of mayors of cities in northern Illinois. Mrs. C. E. Norris of West Chicago was the winner of the beautiful $15,000 home. No Serious Accidents W$ile there were several motor accidents over the week-end, none of them resulted seriously, although sev eral cars were smashed and badly damaged and the occupants of the cars receiving bruises and in some cases, severe cuts. With the ex cessive traffic this vicinity experienced we were indeed fortunate in having no serious accidents as the results. •A car full of young people ran into a culvert on the hill on Route 61, just sooth of town, which wrecked the car badly, but all escaped without injuries. Accidents were so numerous over the holidays that many of them were lost track of, although the garages in this city have been filled with wrecked cars as the results of the series of accidents. A Chevrolet coupe was completely wrecked on Route 61 north of this city Saturday morning when a rear tire blew out. The accident occurred near the Joe Blake farm, where the two young men, occupants of the car, were taken for medical attention. They were on their way to Lake Geneva when the tire blew out, causing the car to roll over twice into the ditch, completely wrecking it. The two men crawled out of the wreckage and were taken to the Blake home where several stitches were taken in a gash in the head of one of the victims. « BAKE SALE Home bake sale on Riverside Drive, three doors south of postoffice, Saturday, 8ept* £ . l«p WILLIAM BRENNAN DIES SUDDENLY WEDNESDAY William Brennan, 51 years old, died suddeflly at his home in this city at six o'clock Wednesday morning.

Lattnrtrouble Is Blamed For Blowing Up of Front of Theatre In Neighboring City A bomb, placed in the southwest corner of the main entrance to the beautiful new El Tovar threatre at Crystal Lake exploded at 4:61 a. m. Tuesday, causing several thousand dollars worth of damage to tha front of the building and smashed the windows in four dwelling houses on the opposite aide of the street to the theatre. It was the third tiine since the opening of the theatre that bombs have been placed ^in the building, but the two previous^times were stench bombs and caused no damage other than the terrible smell left in the building. Non-union labor is alleged to be the cause of the placing of bombs in the Crystal Lake showhouse.
