The boys, Vernon Schroeder ar.d Ned Marcott were 'taking gravel from the pit to be used on a road job when one of the shovels t&ned up a piece •of Indian pottery. On digging away more gttivel they found thje complete skeleton of an adult Indian, evidently one of high station in his tribe as the skeleton was surrounded by articles of pottery arrow heads and other trinkets which the red men wen want to bury with their chiefs. The boys completed the excavation And placed the bones and trinkets in a box which they carried to the Schroeder home. £fot realizing the f importance of their discovery they failed to use proper care ixl digging and seme of the bones were broken in the process. The skull was completely packed in clam shells and was in good state of preservation when found. All teeth were present in the jaw bones and thie enamel was still in evidence. On resuming their work the boys found* evidences of two other graves in which were arrow heads and some pottery but the skeletons had evidently decomposed. . Word of the discovery has been sent to the Chicago Historical society and it is expected that a further examination of the tract will be made by representatives of that organization. The Schroeder pit has always been a favorite place for the children of the community tb hunt for arrow heads and many families in that vicinity have sizeable collections take* from this place. The pit is located just east of Half Day near the Whitehouse tavern and the location is known to have been a favorite camping ground for the Pottowatomies in early days. The land has been in the possession of the Schroeder family for more than seventy years and before that was a part of the* Easton property which was bought by that family from the government.

They are very fortunate, however, to get a renowned pitcher to take his place, who is none other than Urban 'Red' Faber, former White Sox pitcher, who try his luck at indoor ball. This wilt be his first attempt at playing indoor ball, but h& teammates feel sure that a little thing like the size of a ball and a few minor rules will not affect Faber's game. A. P. Freund will catch for this team and will be in the field with Jake and Henry Schafer, Nick Weingart, Jake Freund, Will Althoff, and a very good outfield. Herman Steffes and Leo Meyers, who successfully took care of the game last year, will play in the field this year.

(fiflfltiniMil aBc laal Mm.1 SPEED CAUSES ACCIDENT SUNDAY A coupe overturned on Route U. S. 12 in front of the Ed Conway farm home, south of McHenry about 11:30 Sunday morning, injuring occupants of the car. - Probably driving'--- at poo high a speed, the driver lost control of the car and it turned over onto the side of the road, the absence of a ditch probably lessening the injuries of the motorists. The party, of four, one couple riding in the rumble seat, were going from Chicago to Lake Geneva foi* a picnic when the. accident occurred. One woman was caught beneath the car and was badly bruised, ona man received a broken arm and others received bruises and minor injuries. The car was not damaged to any ex- II milk delivered in June, as compared with the same "per cent the previous month. Class II milk is sold fey distributors as cream, ice cream, ice dream < mn% and Philadelphia <type cheese. Class III milk (surplus milk) will be paid for at the U. S. Government price for 92 score Chicago butter fat plus one cent. All prices are f. o. b. country plant or loading platform. The average price for all milk delivered in June was $162.- The cordensary price was $1,108 per Cwt. of milk in June. Drop From Last Month . Pure Milk Association members received $2,107,354 56 for their milk delivered in June, as compared with $2,- *V>5,401.96 in May, statistics revealeV by the Association shdWed. The drop in dollar returns, despite the increased amount of milk on the market, was brought about largely by the increased amount of surplus seasonal milk on the market. Butter prices skidded swiftly downward, as did condensary prices, with so much milk available. Actual figures reveal that the June delivery for milk totaled 130,083,615 pounds, as compared with 128, 221,044 pounds delivered in May. Over four million pounds of extra surplus milk were thrown in Cla?s III during June, as the condensary price swooped down to a new year's low of $1,108 per hundred pounds of milk for June. The amount of surplus milk on the market is expected to abate somewhat, now that the seasonal peak is over Bind hot weather harset in. BURGLARS ROB SAFB While Andrew McAnsh, mortgage broker at 130 North Wells street, Chicago, spent the weekend at Pistakee Bay, burglars entered his offica in Chicago and took about $120,000 worth of bonds, a $500 watch fob and a few dollars in cash, according to reports in the Chicago pa pecs. Two sets of finger prints found on the door transome and heel marks on the top of a chest beside the dooi showed the method of entrance. McAnsh lives at 3300 Sheridan road, Chicago. DIES IN COLORADO. Word was received this morning by relatives in McHenry of the death of Mrs. Louis ^Jfhiting, at Longmont, Colo., following an operation rticently. Particulars as to where she will be buried will be received tonite by Mrs. £lk« Whiting. That a college course will be offered at the McHenry Community high school this year is becoming an assured fact as arrangements are being completed and plans made by those interested in this educational project. On Friday Supt. C. H. Duker, with Dr. A. I. Froehlich and Thomas P. Bolger, went to Chicago, where the* received authorization for two teachers for the course, both of whom will have degrees, one majoring in history and the other in mathematics. In addition to these two teachers there will be a third teacher to assist in the superivision of the college work. These teachers will ^be paid by the state relief fund for educational purposes and other expenses of the course will be paid by the tuition fee of the students, which Supt. Duker is now working on in an endeavor to cut it down as low as possible. The approval of the state superintendent, John Wieland, the county superintendent, Mrs. E. C. Coe, and the director of the board of extension of the University, Robert. B. Brown, has» been obtained and conditions seem favorable for this educational movement which will probably bring students here from many cities in the county and will make McHenry outstanding in educational circles. The work will probably take the form of correspondence courses at the University of Illinois done under the supervision of teachers-at the local high school. The work will be offered to any high school graduate who wishes to continue his education but who find* it impossible to go to college. College Work There is every indication from correspondence with the leading universities that from one to three years of college w<#rk can be completed through this "extension plan. Some types of college work, for instance laboratory work, can not be done throygh correspondence work and for this reason the total amount of work which can be completed will depend upon the type of college work which the student wishes to take. The quantity of work which eactt student must accomplish each weeic will be determined and each pupil will fee required to meet these standards. Sufficient publicity will be given th work to encourage the students to do a high quality of work and to complete the required work in the least time possible. It will probably be found by students that to carry a full college ?oad will require from eight to ten hours daily for five days each week. The cost of the course will be met by those enrolling and everything is being done to keep the cost as low as possible. This will be a great advantage to local high school graduates, many of whom are looking into it with approval and it will, no doubt, attract many students from neighboring cities and towns as well, as the cost will be materially lower than to go away to school. MUCH-NEEDED RAIN APPEARS SUNDAY prizes and novelties will be on dis play. The church is an ideal spot for a carnival, surrounded by cool and shady trees, resembling a park. There ' will be plenty of parking space and every accomodation for visitors, who are invited to attend and who will be made to feel welcome: An interesting feature so far allocation is concerned is the fact that the site of the carnival is situated just across fromrthe state fish hatcher>> where thousands of visitors come annually to view the interesting pro- .J. Jesses of hatching^ and raising fish. Here at the attractive fish hatcheVj av fe,w^ interesting hours will entertain visitors* to the carnival and give them ; - instruction as well as amusement, There will be all types of amusement which will include the bingo; penny, doll and miscellaneous booths, the balloon game, chuck-a-luck, turtle game and the penny board in addition to the refreshment stands. . Band Concert * At 8 p: m., Sunday night a 45-pjece band concert will be the' main attraction of the evening program and will render very selective music that ev.r eryone will enjoy. ; At 11 a. m., Standard Time, Sunday, the ladies of the church will serve dinner. This will be a meal that everyone will enjoy and talk about. One-half spring chicken wiH be served with every plate and also a helping, of veal.

Children will be admitted to the dining room at half price for dinner. The supper menu will include potato salad, cold veal, frankfurtaps, vegetable salad, cake and coffee. The committee of ladies in charge of ths dinner is composed of Mrs. Nicholas Freund, Mrs Frances Freund, Mr* Arthur Kattner. Everyone is welcome to the carni- " val and there is no admission charge. GOOD AUDIENCES ATWLS SHOW Freak showers on Sunday brought much-needed rain to this locality in relief from the drouth and heat. While McHenry and vicinity received a good rain Sunday night, Volo was the scene of a heavy shower Sunday afternoon, which dampened the spirits of the pleasure seekers at the carnival at St. Peter's church, sent people hurrying to their cars or other protection and practically finished activities at the carnival for the afternoon. Less than half a mile west of Volo the pavement was dry, however, and not a drop ol rain fell in McHenry. For more than ten days in July 94 degree weather has prevailed, but even the. record high of 99 and 100 in the shade did not imperil the mark of 106 and 107 degrees registered last year during the drouth period. Less than a month a#jp local residents were wondering when the rain would cease, but the recent showers have been needed and appreciated as gardens and lawns were beginning to dry up. The severe heat gripping the eastern half of the country and accompaning storms left at last thirty-five dead with Chicago reporting seven dead. South Bend, Ind., had temperatures ol 101 and at Columbus it was 100 with many mid-west cities reporting tem^ peratures in the nineties. Storms sweeping New England resulted in temporary relief from the heat at a cost of nine lives, mostly deaths from lightning. Cooling showers fell over Oklahoma and Texas. On Sunday night this region enjoyed a good shower which wis probably the fringe of the severe storm and torrential rain which wrought havoc : young Jewish Christian association, Th WLS barn dance show sponsored by McHenry chapter, O. E.

At the matinee on Friday afternoon there were about 300 boys in attendance from the Y. M C, A. camp Duncan,- the j camp Wooster of the wi west of Elgin about 11 p. m., Sunday. The rain, which was heaven just west of McHenry, also, did consider^, able damage to crops in this vicinity, leaving grain fields flattened to tlw ground. It was estimated that heavy crop damage was done in Kane county. and boys,, girls and mothers from the Cadet camp, all of which are situated SENATOR BENSON LEGION SPEAKER Senator Arnold Benson of Batavia in the vicinity of Wooster Lake. Thanks are extended to' Bus^-Pag-i Motor Sales and Alexander Lumber Company for the use of their "trucks to help in bringing the children t» McHenry, the camp trucks also being used.
