PERSONAL* tee of Improvement ticm Will Take Matter Up With Waterways Commission The Fox Valley Improvement association met at Salverson's hall, Burton's Bridge, Sunday morning with about forty members present. A committee to seek relief for the low water condition in Fox river will be appointed within two weeks by the association. The committee will take the case before the Illinois Waterways commission. Water between the dams at McHenry and Algonquin averages about, one and one-half feet m depths, it is said, and is stagnant in many places. After calling the meeting to order at 11 o'clock, President R. Powers explained the objectives of the association for the/ benefit of several new members. The general purpose of the organization is to protect the interests and promote the welfare of those who own property on or near the Fox river between the dams at McHenry and Algonquin. Thomas Bolger explained that 32 inches of flash boards were being used on the McHenry dam, thus restricting the normal flow at that point. It was said that this has raised the river to so high a level north of the dam that an attempt is to be made to use some of the funds appropriated by the legislature for repairs and surveys to build a sys tem of dikes to keep the river within its banks. The Algonqttin dam aggravates condition by leaking. It has sagged almost a foot from its original height it is said. It is understood to be owned by public utility interests. Because there is now no power house there, these interests have no object in keeping the dam in repair. The annual meeting and election of officers will be held Sunday morning, June 29, at the village hail in Cary. The membership committee hopes r,o have a majority of all property owners on the river between McHenry and Algonquin in the association by that date. Mrs. John Keg spent the week-end at Richmond.

Clara's Court at St. Mary's Hall Thursday, June 26 The members of Riverview Camp, Royal Neighbors of America, sponsored a very clever home-talent play at their hall Monday evening. The play, entitled "The Rag Carpet Bee," was directed by Mrs. J. A. Brown and was a success in every way. All of the actors took their parts exceptionally well and each one seemed to be especially adapted to their part. Mrs. Bolton, who has been living in New York for nearly seven years, returns to her home in the country, having acquired some culture and a little money. She is very proud of her position among the pfeople she used to know, but, unfortunately in her haste, the first time she goes to church she puts her hat on backwards. Since it is Mrs. Bolton who is wearing it it is mistaken for a new style and everyone in the neighborhood follows her example. The confusion which results from this foolishness is the theme of the play, and those who saw it had many a good laugh over the funny predicaments of the characters. The costumes were appropriate and laughable and the old-fashioned costumes and hats brought memories of olden days. Cast of Characters Aunt Sally Maria, rather elderly and very kind--Frances Vycital. Mrs. Bolton, inclined to tears--Mrs. J. Stilling. Laurina Payton, a devotee of fashion --Mrs. H. B. Schaefer. Susan Gibbs, plump and good natured --Mrs. Albert Krause. Lena Gibbs, her sister-in-law--Mrs. George Bohr. Minnie Minnows, a neighborly woman --Mrs. F. Bienapfl. Nancy Vreeland, burdened with a cow, * child and a husband--Mrs. F. O. Gans.

Goodell, and Mrs. James Marshall, accompanied by Mrs. H. B, Schaefer. Those who took part in the play, as well as the director, deserve a great deal of credit for the very pleasing performance they put on.
