All of the smaller fish escape through the noshes of the net, which are about three and one-half inches wide. • Several interesting facts are disclosed in comparing the hauls made in the neighboring lakes, among them being the fact that Pistakee lake •is the best stocked with game fish of any of the lakes, Fox lake is fair, and in lakes Kathrine and Marie very few game fish or carp eithel are found.

McHenry Post, 491, expects to have a thousand guests at its carnival and dance at the Bridge Ball Room, formerly known as Polly Prim, Armistice Day, Nov. 11. The celebration will last throughout the afternoon and evening and from present indications everybody in the county wilf drop in for awhile at least. The day is to be one of real delight, joy, entertainment and happiness. There is to be a football game between St. Mary's of Woodstock and the McHenry High School in the afternoon. At the Ball Room, Frank ie Gans' Skylarks will provide the music throughout the day and at night there is to-be a dance. The carnival features are ip charge of ample committees with active chairnmen of each and from all appearances the day will be one long to be remembered not only by McHenry but throughout the county. Committees Named There are reception committees, with Mayor Knox as chairman, floor committee with Thomas P. Bolger, at the head, airplane game with James J. Marshall in charge. The merchandise booth is under the direction of John A. Bolger and Hamilton Parr will do the checkroom honors. The "Game of Fortune"--the "big" game --has a real committee in charge with Henry Nielsen at its head; the candy booth is in charge of a committee with Thomas Phalin as chairman, and James Beavis heads the "refresh, ment" committee. C. J. Reihansperger, chairman, Gerald J. Carey and Bay McGee are in charge of general financial arrangements. All in all it looks like a big day. The American Legion, under whose auspices the carnival and dance js held, deserves the recognition of McHenry. Not only is its national affliations widespread and powerful, but McHenry Post 491 has done a number of notable things for the town and the county. Organized primarily to extend help to the wounded veterans of the late war and to consider and forward all measures for the national defense, both from within and without, it has taken on, too, and in addition, a general wardenship of the Boy Scout movement throughout the cotmtry and state. The Citizens Military Training Camp, to which thousands of men, young and otherwise, go each year for military training, is also a part of the national. work of the American Legion- These are but a-very few of its many, many aims for a better country and a sturdier citizenship.* "In McHenry the Post not only contributed largely to each of the tlwo firetrucks we now have, but they initiated the handsome street lighting system and did more than their part towards establishing it. Good Time Promised The boys propose giving every ane of their guests at the Bridge Ball Room on Armistice Day a good time. The tickets admit to all the festivities and each and every person is as. sured that he is going to get his money's worth. The funds raised are all to be devoted to the further good woiirof the American Legion. It is a gala occasion well.planned; the features are as fine as you may enjoy anywhere; and the object and 'the cause are worthy beyond any expression. It is hoped and it is beieved that most everyone will lay aside his other pursuits for the day and turn in and make this occasion a real old-time success. Committees RECEPTION -- John R.

The wet and dry question is said to be mostly responsible for a bustup in the regular lineups. There are three candidates for United States senator. Ruth Hanna McCormick is the Republican choice* while J. Hamilton Lewis heads the Democratic ticket. Lottie Holman O'Neil also has come out independently and is the bone-dry candidate. Lewis is an out-and-out wet and Mrs. McCormick says she. will abide by the sentiment of the people of* Illinois on this question. * Legislative Fight Hot Quite a fight has developed in the race for representative from this district, with three candidates on the Republican and one on the Democratic side. Only three can be elected. Friends of William M. Carroll, the Republican candidate from this county, are asking his supporters to mark his name only, as this would give him three votes, while a straight ballott would only count one vote for Mr. Carroll. His opponent in this county is Thos. A. Bolger of Mclfenry, who the only candidate for this office on the Democratic ticket. A straight Democratic vote would give Bolger three votes. The other two candidates on the Republican side are Lee MeDonobgh of Waukegan and Richard Lyons of Mundelein. The Democratic candidates for county offices are working harder than ever this year in the hopes that if there should be & heavy Democratic vote they might have a chance to go over. The cotinty is overwhelmingly Republican ordinarily. 1 County Candidate*' The candidates for county offices , include Harry Peteit, Republican and Mark Shllivan, Democrat, for county treasurer. Raymond D. Woods is the Republican candidate for county clerk. He is opposed by Alex Adams of Mc Henry. Lester Edinger is the Republican nominee for sheriff while Lawrence Koester's name appears on the Democrat. Mrs- Ethel Coe is not opposed for county superintendent of schools, and Judge Allen has no opposition. C Yam Leans, R. M. Frits, Harvard.

Try to imagine what opportunity your children's children will have to becoma , acquainted with the great outdoors unless you now provide for them. t "The hunters and fishermen through .0 their license fees have been paying all v V of the expenses of the Department of f, \ % Conservation for many-years. This * •* the '<ne department of the Stat*- " jf-ij Government that is self-supporting. ® It is maintained through hunting' and ^ fishing license fees and not from direct taxes. * "In addition to paying the expenses ' ,. of the Department, many thousands of acres of land have been bought out of the hunting and fihing license fees. ( The necessity for this bond issue is * n ' to establish a definite^and coraprev .i hensive system for tfiese purchases of forest preserves and public playgrounds so that all of the people of the state instead of a favored few will ' i benefit and will have these oppor- " X|".; tunities for contact wfth the great ' outdoors for themselves and their *-*4*1 children. / „ „ , ' 1 No Extra Tax "Tax experts who have analysed1 the operating costs and the revenues of the Department ' of Conservation >--• / have stated definitely that no taxation will ever be required to pay the principal or the interest on the bond issue or the operating costs of the Department. These experts based their fig- . ures on an* estimated sale of 815,000 licenses in Jhe year 1942. The report of the actual revenue of the Depart- 3s ment as announced recently by the . Director of the Department of Conservation shows that the number of rlfS' licenses sold this year has exceeded by 25,000 the number estimated fat vf! 1942." f5 In conclusion, Mr. Brandon saM, ^ "This is your opportunity and your & responsibility to secure for yourselves" and your neighbors and to give v . to your children and to their children * of the future, an Illinois that *»•« some of. the natural beauties, some of the opportunities for clean and healthful living and outdoor recreation that your forefathers found when tha^r. ^ ' came here."
