The big mixer went into active service near Morgan' corner and work will proceed toward Richmond. The Harrison company expects to lay from 1200 to 1500 feet a day when they get under full headway. At this time they are using a single shift, but when they get near Hebron they are planning on n double shift. The idea of the single shifts is to give the culvert men time to get a little ahead. The grading of the road is expected to be completed within the next week. Only a half day has been lost by the McElroy company since they started on the jeb and if they keep up' the present pace the company expects to set a record for speed. The Harvard-to-Alden highway hai been shut off as a- means of traffic Barriers have been put up ^at the Cash farm corners, where a detour marks to proceed south and thence east over the highway east to the Donovan farm corner, thence north and east to the terminal of the eastwest highway near the Slavin farm, where the detour is marked north to Woodbury's corners and thence east and north to Hebron villagp. In a short time another detour will be set up as graders reach the Cash- Ryder farms, where a major fill will be necessary and virtually the entire regular highway from Hebron to Harvard will be shut off.

Pierce, veteran Boone county $t» torney, has been mentioned also. - THE INQUIRING REPORTER Each week the Inquiring Reporter fisks a question of local interest, to five persons picked at random. THE QUESTION "Should MeHenry have a public bathing beach with bath house and all the necessary swimming equipment? If so, where would be a good location? JAMES E. BEAV1S, Tailor. "I believe the most logical place to have a beach would be at McCollum's Lake, where the greater share of the MeHenry people go to swim now. The wonderful sand bottom makes it ideal for the children. Also there is a long stretch Of beach about ankle deep that makes it safe for the kids. There is plenty of parking space and I think with a little development this spot could be made into one .of the finest beaches in the country." RAY McGEE, Clothier. "This would be a great thing for MeHenry. There is a possibility of building a beach somewhere along the river that would be an asset to the town. If it were properly policed and conducted as a public beach there is no question as to its benefit to th? town." HENRY MSIMER "I think this is a good idea. MeHenry certainly could use a good swimming beach. As far &B location goes, there is a lot to depend on that. I think that because of the fact that so many of McHenry's residents are located along the river and have private swimming beaches the public beach is not missed as much as it would otherwise be.w GEORGE MILLER, Service Station Attestant. "Yes, I think MeHenry should have a swimming beach that they could open to the public. A location for such a project would depend upon many things. If benefit were to be derived by the town the beach would have to be located near the business section of the town. I think the location would be where the present ^swimming beach' now is." STANLEY ALMES, Rockford, DL "Although not a resident of this town I can see a need for this very thing. My wife and I both go out to MeHenry to go bathihg. It is a beautiful town and it is surprising that it is without a swimming beach. I think it could be located about where :m» old beach is at BOW." ' PISTAKEE YACHT CLUB ENJOYS'JR.

Director H. H. Cleaveland of the state department of public works and buildings and Chief Highway Engineer Frank T. Sheets announced last week. The $32,843,543 calls for the paving of 383.20 miles of state bond issue roads, 169.59 miles of grading, at an estimated cost of $2,923,373.41; construction of 120 bridges at an estimated cost of $2,961,826.89; and the building of twelve other bridges and grade separations at an estimated cost of $717,152.67. Most of the $32,843,543 already Is under contract and a considerable portion of the construction is rapidly proceeding. Bids pending and projects on which bids will be received in September comprise the balance of the fund. Cleaveland pointed out that through this extensive highway construction program the state this year has provided employment for thousands of men. Up to the week ending July 24, 1930, the highway department had completed 222.55 miles of concrete paving, and 4.17 miles of gravel surfacing this year.

The Community high school building and the Public Grade school building have been cleaned and they are now ready for the opening of school. In addition to the yearly cleaning, each school has seen some definite improvements this summer. The high school building and • grounds have seen three improvements. The first floor rooms have been decorated, the building has been reroofed and the grounds have been distinctly improved. The grade school grounds have seen even more improvement than the high school grounds this slimmer. Powdered stone has been placed on the playground and the lawn has been extended to the city hall property. The schools now present two of the best campuses in the county. High school pupils will register on Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 26 and 27. The Freshmen and Sophomores register on Tuesday and the Juniors and Seniors will register on Wednesday. Plans have been made so that any pupil who plans to be out of town on these two days can register by appointment any time before August 26. A large Freshman class is expected this year. The classes which gradu ated from the public school, St. Mary's, Johnsburg and the Ringwood schools last spring were all large and it is likely that the high school will see the largest Freshman class in the history of the school. Too, each year sees a larger portion of eighth grade pupils continue their education. Just a few years back only from one-third to one-half of the eighth grade graduates attended high school. Now the high school receives at least twothirds of the pupjjls who are eligible to attend. •' The school, books have already been ordered and will be ready for the pupils on the days on which they register. The school will again resell second- hand books. Pupils who wish to have the school ^ resell their books should bring them to the office on Monday or Tuesday of registration week. Faculties Remain the Same The faculties of the two schools remain unchanged from last year. All of the teachers who were with us last year are returning. This condition is a distinct benefit to the school situation of our community. Well trained, experienced teachers are a real asset to every school system. The personnel of the high school faculty is as follows: C. H. Duker, Superintendent. . Helen Stevens -- English, Play Coach. Mildred Minnich -- Instrumental Coach. Edmund F. Willis--Science, Assistant Coach. Lillian Doherty--Languages, Girls' Coach. L. J. McCracken--History, Coach. _ Beatrice Lane -- Commercial, Library Work.

OLD LANDMARK AT WOODSTOCK BURNS Donnelly Corner la Scene of Disastrous Fire Monday Night--Cause Is Unknown Woodstock's fire boys answered a call for help on Monday night when it was discovered that the Donnelly building on the west side of the square at Woodstock was on fire. This building was no doubt, the oldest in the town and had been vacant for a long time. Like all vacant property it was left to the mercy of one and all and soon became dilapidated in the extreme. The cause of the fire is not known but there is but little doubt in the minds of most people that it was "touched off." The building was a mass of flames before the alarm was given and the firemen turned their attention to saving the neighboring buildings from destruction. Few people realised the size of the burning building which was in fact a double building and covered a large area of ground. More than that, many of the timbers in the house were j>f oak and burned with a heat that was amazing. So hot did the fire become and so far did the clouds of sparks spread that the fire became a real menace and at once time threatened the court house. The sparks spread to the north and west for several blocks and the Baptist church and the building known as the Baptist flats were in serious danger. The brick wall of the Montgomery Ward & Co., store is but a few feet from the site of the burning building and became so hot that the water steamed as the firemen (constantly poured a stream on it. A force of men guarded tjie court house roof during the fire and.several were on the roof all night in case of possible danger. During all this time the fire raged on, throwing out a heat that was terrible. The usual crowd gathered but because of the heat remained well out of the way. " || DR.

They then forced the door of the Waukegan Clean Towel Service Company, located in the laundy building, and blew another safe obtaining $102 in cash and several hundred dollars in checks.

Close to 70 children, who have been pupils in the High wood elementary schools, face the possibility of being barred this fall, unless the problem that has been bothering officials for the last few years is settled. These children belong to officers and enlisted men from Fort Sheridan Military reservation. They are not a part of any school district, and as there is no provision made for their tuition, the public schools of Highwood must take care of them. The burden of expense is too great for Highwood, and although the government forces children to attend schools, it has nev^ar provided a way to pay for the edu«a£ ; tion of its employees.
