The lake will cover about 750 acres and the j body of water will be held in check by a dam 1,000 feet long and about 20 feet high. The bed throughout most of Ihe valley is gravel and clay, but in several spots sand and gravel beaches will be made. The lake basin is surrounded by a growth of oaks and maples. As the backing up of the water will cover the Cranberry marsh road to a depth of seven feet, J&iat thoroughfare will be abandoned, and <a new road parallel to the lake on the east will be constructed to connect with Route 20. The lake is about fifty miles from Chicago and the south end of the lake will be only a quarter of a mile from Route 20, While plans for the subdivision of the property will not be completed before spring, the developers plan to put in all necessary improvements and to provide at least one section for year around homes.

The soaping of windows, ringing of doorbells and carrying away of gates and garbage cans constituted the pranks of the younger boys while the older ones worked hard all night dragging old automobiles from the junk pile, collecting signs and other miscellaneous objects, the greater part of which was found piled up in front of the entrance s to the high School building next morning. The grade school was broken into and some of the books and other property destroyed which was, perhaps, the most serious damage done about town. For the younger generation Hallowe'en is the day of days. The sheets and eerie costumes were all ready early in the morning when the boy3 and girls left for a restless day in school. The jg/ck-o-lantern with his weird grin awaited their release. Youngsters who had worked up Hallowe'en shivers in anticipation 'of the warning that "the goblins will get you if you don't watch out" obtained many a thrill in the excitement of the evening as well as in parties and affairs at school. Just as many witches, elves and goblins were on the streets this year, but with the greater interest of the parents evinced each year they are more adequately controlled.
