These are but a very few of its many, many aims for a better country and a sturdier citizenship. The boys* propose giving every one of their guests at the Bridge Ball Room a good time on Armistice Day. The, funds raised are to be devoted to the further good work of 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 believed that everyone will turn in and make this occasion a real old time success. At least, every citizen of McHenry is expected to be present. Committees RECEPTION -- Mayor John R. Knox, chairman; Aid. Peter Doherty, Aid. Herman Kreutzer, Aid. R. I. Overton, Aid. Frank H.

Mrs. Purvey was presented with • gift in appreciation of her work during the past year, and Miss Anna Stock, who edits the "Newsy," a paper of interesting news for the members, was also presented with a gift. Following the installation ceremonies, cards were enjoyed for the remainder of the evening and lunch was O'Flarety, the hard boiled detective, played by Leo Winkel, and Mugs, his assistant, played by Jake Stoffel, are called in to help solve the mystery and kept the audience in.an uproar by their antics.

One of the big moments was when Uncle Henry, hiding in the ash can, another as the conversion from the old to the new gas progresses. Give Instructions C. E. Collins, district manager^ of the Western United company, issued became the victim of an explosion, the following statement as precaution served.

The missing bridegroom caused many funny situations, but after a long series of difficulties things become straightened out and all are married by Rev.

"Henry's Wedding," was a scream from start to finish and judging from the size of the audiences there were very few in this vicinity who did not see it.

"Charity and Unity" is its motto and to this the members are loyal in their efforts to help the needy and to make everyone happy at Christmas • time. They send clothing and candy to some the colored Sistern and Brethern of the Mystic Shrine, in which twentyfive of the very best singers in McHenry rendered many popular selections, their voices ringing out in the to customers: "Customers will know when the new gas arrives, because it will burn with a longer and slightly yellowish flame. It will be necessary to adjust the burners on all appliances in order to get the best results. These adjustments will be made free of charge by a large force of trained service men. As every customer cannot be reached immediately, it will be several days before all of the work can be completed. Letters have been sent to all of our customers specifically calling attention to the following precautions which should be taken by customers before their appliances are adjusted: "1. Do not open burners more than half way on any appliance, thus keeping the flame low enough to avoid odors. i '2. If your water heater does not have a flue pipe to carry the burned gases from the heater to the house - ... _ chimney, it should be sTOii off and not beauty tone which only their voices of talent could produce. It was a treat, orphanage every year in addition to; indeed, to hear the voices of Mchelping the needy in this vicinity. Court Eleven Years Old The court has grown and prospered during the eleven years of its existence and has become one of the foremost charitable organizations of our city. The court was organized with fifty charter members and it has now grown to an order almost three times its original membership. A bright future is the outlook for the court. The officers installed were: Grand Regent--Mrs. Lucile Nye. Vice Grand Regent -- Mrs. Agnes Schaefer. Past Grand Regent--Mrs. Vera Purvey. ' ' Prophetess--Miss Anna Stock. Monitor--Miss Mary Goodfellow. Financial Secretary--Mrs- Schaefer. Treasurer--Mrs. Marie Schiessl* Historian--Mrs. Emily Lawson. ^ Lecturer--Mrs. Nettie Fleming. ' Sentinel--Mrs. Eleanor Miller. Trustees--Mrs- Barbara Krause, Mrs. Elizabeth Walsh. Henry's outstanding singers combined in the rendering of the negro songs and the only regret was that their part in the program did not extend over a longer period of time. The closing chorus by the entire company was also a rousing and beautiful one and was a fitting finale to this unusual play. Beans and Belles Of course another outstanding feature of the play was the 1890 guests at this modem 1940 wedding. This group of guests, called the "Belles and Beaus of Grandma's Time," were the hit of ihe show and kept the audience in an uproar as each did their stunt across they? by our service man. This is espe cially important where the heater is located in a bath room, kitchen or any of the living quarters." Jfcat^how Credentials Mp. Collins also cautions customers against allowing service men to enter premises until proper credentials are shown. Each service man or adjuster has an identification card bearing his photograph and customers are urged to insist that this be shown in order that hnposters may be avoided. The change to the new gas is being effected as a result of a recent order of the Illinois Commerce Commission authorizing the company to change its heating value standard in order to make use of natural gas which is now Hundreds of residents of McHenry and Johnsburg were aroused from their sleep about 12:30 a. m. Monday morning of this week, the disturbance being caused by two explosions, the first at the Frank Nell resort, just east of the Johnsburg bridge, and the second, a few minutes later, at the home of Peter Engrtn, east of the river at McHenry. Later it was discovered that seven sticks of dynamite had been placed in the yard of John Engeln, but which failed to explode. Damage at the Peter Engeln home was slight compared to that at the Johnsburg place. A few windows were broken at Engeln's but at Nell's the building was badly wrecked. The front porch was demolished, nearly all the windows broken and plaster torn from the walls. The explosives were placed at the front door and it is a wonder that some lives were not lost. Mrs. Nell and baby daughter were sleeping upstairs in the front part of the build-! jng almost directly over the place where the charge was planted. Mr. Nell and two friends were in the dining room on the main floor, which is the first room back of the front one. However, none was injured. Arrest Chicago Man The only explanation offered thus far is that the explosions were a part of a beer war started in McHenry county. State's Attorney Lumley immediately launched an investigation which has resulted in the Arrest of a Chicago man who gives the name of Charles Smith- He i» now confined in the county jail, charged with attempted murder, held under $20,000 bonds to await the action of the grand jury. Smith, alias Sol Cohen, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Sheriff Edinger at the Waddell place in Fox River Grove. A search revealed that he was carrying concealed weapons and Luimley filed an information in county court on that charge also. Mr. Lumley issued a call yesterday for the grand jury to convene Monday to vote indictments against Smith or Cohen or whatever his real name may be. ® Lake.
