D. A, Iff a Otmedf All the W I s, Patzke Has I. Drawing conclusion* from the large -Crowds in attendance at "Aunt Lucia" : ait the high school auditorium on Thursday and Friday evenings of lMt week, it would seem that there lirere not many in the vicinity who did iot see and enjoy this side-splitting' siomedy, put on by the Universal Pro ^Hoeing company for the Catholic daughters of America. '• The play, which was one of the Biggest home-talent plays ever put on n McHenry, as well as the best conducted, went off without a hitch, Everyone earring out their parts to {erfection like old experienced layers. Perhaps the most popular feature • if the play was the flapper chorus, Composed of the business men and ,<#tfter well known men of the city, who Brought down the house in an uproar 'ijjf laughter. There's no use trying "|o describe them, it couldn't be done, .;4nd if you didn't see them you missed -'Vifhe. funniest sight of your lifetime, Although many of the "flappers" made c Setter looking imitations of the fair "'#e< than one would imagine possible. Ll,4 The selections furnished by tho gtfrls* chorus were novel and pretty >j§ftd showed much practice and preparation. * Paul Patske the Star Paul Patzke, as "Aunt Lucia," was l|he star actor of the play and how 4hat boy can act! He was right there with the goods and carried out his * difficult part much to the amusement >#f his audience. Paul has taken part In other home-talent plays and always \ displays the same talent and adaptability to his part. He was ably supported by Jack Purvey, Ralph Justen, jwm. H. Althoff and other members •0f the cast, who all filled their roles Admirably. William Althoff as Prof. - Gaddis was also perfect in every de- "tail as was William Schreiner as the gutter and egg man and Merlvin Kent <ts Mr. Collins, Dick's father. Every i>ne of the actors were so good that 4bey are each deserving of a great ^ileal of praise and credit for making The play a success. The play dealt with the story of 'the home-coming of Bula Bula college ' And the setting was a fraternity room. The story revolved about the School awaiting the arrival of an old maid, Aunt Lucia Wakefield, who is worth fifty million dollars and who .plans to give the college a large sum a r,pf money. She is the aunt of one cf Mthe girls, Betsy, and is to be guest of vlfionor *he home-coming. Jerry -r^Watson, played by Paul Patske, one ,'ipf the college boys with the help of , >!*iis roommates, George and Dick, flayed by Jack Purvey and Ralph Jusjten, dresses himself as an old lady gust for fun. While dressed in this Autfit he is mistaken by Prof. Gaddis, jplayed by Wm. Althoff, as the real Aunt Lucia from Florida and is immediately introduced to the college ilas such. Once in this dilemia, it is impossible for him to explain without getting in bad and so he continues to suerade as Aunt Lucia with many using experiences. Dean Howard yed by Mrs. John Stilling, and Prof. Gaddis, who have been lovers •for fifteen years, have their troubles ,:when Aunt Lucia arrives, as all the timeo fall in love with hermoney and " ^4§pl»un to marry her. / '*1 Other members of the east were sCf^Bonuce Weber, AJvina Freund, Mil- ' c Kinsala, John Sutton, Mary Kia- T^aaar, Lowell Nye and Bob Petersen, \ v Jail of whom added much to it* com- ^ > -fpteteness. The curtain raiser was the baby ipaereant with Ruth Powers as reader 'and was an interesting sight as the ^ . jlittle folks opened ike * show with r'|J Jthei.- entertainment. p '"j* That McHenry is well supplied with ^ «®uch theatrical talent was surely sJmade evident by this most interesting <and successful play. j** J.

McKmry ^Twoyoathful bandits, one just oat of the short pants age and the other several years under the voting age, are residing in the McHenry county jail following a short, career of crime. The boys are brothers, Fred Wilson, 15, and Taylor Wilson, 17. They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wilson of Richmond. The two boys were arrested at Rockford Saturday afternoon and brought to the McHenry county jail by Sheriff Cyrus Sanford. They confessed to the robbing of the John Stilling filling station three different times. The boys stated that on August 23 they broke into the Stilling tire shop at McHenry and took $18.93, six gallons of gas and two gallons of oil. They confessed that a week later they broke into the same place and took nine gallons of gas, four gallons of oil, a tire and |7 in dimes and pennies. September 13 was the third visit to the same place. They took fifteen gallons of gas, five gallons of oil, two tire boots, inner tubes, spark plug* and other items too numerous to mention. . . When asked- how they started * on their career of crime, Taylor «aid they ran out of gas in front of the Stilling place and just decided the best way to get some was to steal i{ as long as they did not have the price to buy any. The boys said they purchased school books with some of the money. They also said they used the gasoline and oil to operate their old "Lizzy." When asked if their parents knew what they were doing they said they did not. For fear their father would be mad at them for being up until 3 o'clock last Saturday morning made the boys leave home and drive to Rockford. Saturday afternoon they were arrested in Rockford. The arrest pf the two Richmond boys clears up the recant rgjbberies of the Stilling tire shop.

In his effort to brush the bee out of the window Mr. O'Flaherty lost control of the car which, in an instant, careened over the steep embankment and rolled into the ditch. The solid top of the car did not break, however, and kept the occupants" of the car from being more seriously injured. Mrs. O'Flaherty received a broken arm and other bruises and was taken to the hospital at Elgin but the two men received only slight bruises. Hughes, aoa of James Hughes of McHenry, and Joseph Swieglow, a neighbor of his, narrow ly escaped death Sunday forenoon i.i a three-car collision at Oakton street end Tripp avenue, Miles Center, where one man was killed, one critically injured and seven other persons were hurt. Hughes was returning home from a visit to his sister, Lucy, who i$ recovering from an operation in an Oak Park hospital, and was riding in the front seat with Joseph Swieglow, while in the rumble seat were Joseph Berger, 25 years old, of 1918 Larrabee street, Miss Marion, 18 years old, of 4231 North Francisco avenue, and Miss Evelyn Kolodzik, 21 years.- old, of 5427 North Christiana avenue. They were accompanied by another car driven by Fred W. Bradley, 4750 Kenmore avenue, who had with him his wife, Ruth; his brother William and the letter's wife, Irene, of 4400 Maiden street. They were all coming out to spend the day with friends in cottages on Fox river near the Hughes home. Cop Leaves Car on Slab Traffic Policeman Philip Doetch of Niles Center had stopped an automobile which he suspected might have been stolen and stopped his own car directly on the pavement. As he was questioning the occupants of the other car the west-bound cars approached and Swieglow's roadster crashed into Doetch's automobile, which was parked in the road, and Bradley following, crashed into Swieglow's car. Both overturned, Berger was killed, and Mrs. Irene Bradley suffered a fracture of the left leg, Swieglow received broken bones in his elbow and severe cuts an<) bruises, while Hughes, who was reported in a serious condition, received severe bruises and some cuts. The others escaped with minor injuries. All were taken to St. Francis hospital at Evanston, but Hughes returned to his home here Monday night and is recovering nicely from his injuries. The suspect car, indirect cause of the smashup, drove away and the traffic policeman did not even obtain the license number. Departs LAKE ZURICH 18 FBIVATE PROPERTY Board of Review Reduces Valuations on Lands, Lots and Personal Property Lake Coamty Master la Chancery Rales That Water Cannot Be Uaed By Cottagers Lake Zurich, on the shores of which 200 Chicagoans have built summer cottages, is private property and not open to their use, Ralph Dady, Lake county master in chancery, ruled in a report to Circuit Judge Edward Shurtleff at Waukegan Tuesday. The decision is expected to affect thousands of summer home owners on other lakes, not* only in Lake county but in other counties and states. Dady's decision is based on the fact that Lake Zurich, which is in Lake county, was not declared to be "a navigable and meandering stream" in a government survey in 1837. Since it is not among those bodies of water open to the public as "navigable and meandering" the claim of Mayor August Froelich and Mrs. Marguerite Pearce to private ownership of most of the lake bed and con? trol of the water is apparently established. The controversy over the use of Lake Zurich started in June 1929, when two Chicago girls, Harriet Higginson and Dorothy Schrader, were arrested for sailing on it without Mayor Froelich's permission 'taken r&oM OF OUK KZCHAHOBS WEEKLY EXCHANGE HEMS Of INTEREST BOWLING SEASON STARTS Earl Monear, proprietor of the Palace Recreation Parlor, on Green street, announces that the alleys have been refinished and are in the best of condition for the coming season.

The fire occurred at the very beginning of the summer season and, pursuing his policy, Mr. Bolger immediately set aside all the disfigured merchandise in separate rooms upstairs, restocked with clean new goods, and went on with his summer business. The insurance adjusters have all settled their "bits" and have gone on their way and now Mr. Bolger announces a Fire Sale for which he is now getting ready. All of the goods damaged at the time will be sold for what they will bring. Much of this damage is confined to smoked labels, water-soaked cartons, and broken packages. Nearly all merchandise sold in a drug store is sold in tins, bottles or paper cartons. There was little chance to damage the actual goods, but the labels were smoked up; boxes crushed and bottles watef washed. The contents were just as good as ever. Nevertheless the packages, as they were, were unsalable fresh stock and so Mr. Bolger promises a gigantic "fire" and clearance sale. Full particulars will appear in.

PROMINENT SPEAKERS AT IZAAK WALTON MEETING The McHenry chapter of the Izaak Walton League will hold a meeting which is to include a fish fry, at the Parish hall in Johnsburg, Friday evening of this week, called for 7:30 o'clock. Speakers for the evening include Dr. P. R. Blodgett, state president of the League; Ray Paddock, state senator; Lee McDonough, state representative; Richard Lyons, state representative; Atty. William M. Carroll, Woodstock; Thomas A. Bolger, McHenry; Guy Wakely, Harvard; C. M. Curtis, Woodstock. Matters will be taken up pertaining to the protection of farmers' land and stock, also the developing of better business conditions for the district. All interested are invited. Good music has bean arranged fer by the committee. The Board of Review, consisting of Charles M. Palmer, Thomas A. Bolger and Theo. Hamer, completed its labors a week ago. Owing to many changes made in assessments, it has taken the clerks in County Clerk Still's office more than a week to iompile the final abstracts. That the Board has been a busy one during its entire session of seventytwo days is evidenced by an examination of the assessors' books showing the many changes. During its session, the Board acted on 534 cases docketed by its clerk, Wm. Desmond. One of the first things decided upon was a reduction of 15 per cent on all farm lands; this necessitated a change in figures for every piece of real estate under the classification of lands. / Later it was decided to reduce valuations of improvements on town and city lots five per • cent. This was another large order. Many personal property Items I were changed either on complaint of the owner or on motion of the Board. Moneys and credits of all kinds were put on a 50 per cent basis. The latter item meant a reduction in many instances. On the other hand the Board uncovered omitted property, mostly moneys and credits, to such an extent that the final figures Lots Personal Property Public Utility **5f ?-£»*• Vi - L of Review 1929 $25,780,525 11,020,950 ... 8,908,384 x 1,007.511 on personal property as made by the Board exceeded the assessors' figures by $974,691. Public Utilities Increased The Board also considered that the, various public utilities operating in the county, sutfh as, telephone, gas and electric companies, were not paying their proportionate share of taxes in this county. Representatives of the various companies were called in and it may be said in fairness to these companies that in no instance did they object to the Board of Review's position. The increase from this source was $303,614, which offset to quite an extent the reductionf made in other cases. The bankers of the county were represented before the Board and a uniform method of assessing all banks was agreed upon. The Board made a number of trips to neighboring counties for the pur pose of comparing notes as to methods of making assessments. In every instance where a com plaint was entered by a property owner or otherwise, the Board made a personal investigation and passed on the merits of the case at first hand. Following is a resume of the assessments of real and personal property for 1929 and 1930, showing increases or decreases as the case may be: Bd. of Review Increase Decrease 1930 $28,504.4fi0 ' ;|2^7e,0«r, 10,727.340 , T 293,610 8,485,809 422,515 1,311,12#., Aeeertment of Newsy 11 Condensed Form Fer Busy People A pitiful story of a fatherless boy who had worked all summer in order, to complete his last year at the Waukegan township high school, only to lose all his belongings to a pair of thieves, was told last week by Sigmund Wysocki, 17, of North Chicago. The fifth automobile theft within five days in Antioch occurred early Thursday morning of last week when a Ford sedan belonging to Herman Rosing of that village disappeared within twenty minutes after he had left it parked in front of his home. The ice house at Loon Lake, owned ^ by Fred Wolfe, was burned to the ground Sept. 3, despite the efforts of 'jkA || the Antioch fire department to save : S" the structure.

Shore property owners protested against usurpation of what they had Considered their right to use the lake. Judge Shurtleff, upon their appeal, issued an injunction restraining Mayor Froelich and Mrs. Pearce from interfering with those who were using thelake. Dady advises dismissal of-the injunction. Attorney George McCaughey, representing Mrs. Pearce went to Washington and secured records showing that Lake Zurich was not included in the government survey as a navigable and meandering stream. Fifty other lakes in Lake county are said to come under the same Classification as Lake Zurich and persons holding deeds to the lake beds may control the use of the lakes. Owners of small lakes in Minnesota and other states have been following the Lake Zurich case as bearing upon their rights. ...j-rty.,, $46,716,620 « >' 144,028,794 $303,614 $2,992,190 Net Decrease csu kta Board of Review Personal Property Assessment, 1980 .......«....".!Z$8A86',869 Assessors Personal Property Assessment, 1930 T*r> 11 *178 Increase by Board of Review $974,691 MILLER-STOFFEL NUPTIALS TUESDAY COUNTY TO HAVE RURAL MUSIC-DRAMA TOURNAMENT McHenry County will enjoy its first music and drama tournament this year, as was decided Friday night, 8ept. 12, in the court house, Woodstock, when forty representatives from fifteen active communities met with David E.
