With the opening of the hunting season game wardens in Lake county have been unusually busy. Twenty men, charged with shooting before sunrise, were arrested at Grass Lake in a single day last week. A barefoot thief, traveling in an automobile, visited the vicinity of Waukegan. Two homes were entered early one morning last week. The police of Waukegan are using the footprints in their endeavor to appre hend the invader. The "stub" end of West Blackman street has been vacated by the Har vard city councir. The street inter sects property owned by the Hunt, Helm, Ferris & Co., who contem plate the erection of a large foundry building thereon. Having outgrown its present quar ters on McHenry avenue and with a desire to get closer to railroad facil< ities, the A. J. Olson Dairy company of Woodstock has purchased a site near the Woodstock typewriter fac tory for the erection .of a modern new factory building. An effort is being made at Wau kegan to organize a Homes Building company. There is an immediate need of 200 new homes in that-*ity and something must be done to house the hundreds of people who are being drawn to that city with the location of a number of new fac tones. The new factory of the Express Body corporation at Crystal Lake be gan operations on Monday morning of this week and is giving employ ment to thirty-five men. The presi dent of the concern feels that it will be only a matter of a few months before another building as large as the original one must be erected to take care of the growing business The Woodstock sphool board has petitioned County Superintendent of Schools A. M. Shelton to revoke the certificate of Miss Capitola Parker, who has resigned her position in the Woodstock schools to accept a more renumerative one at Marengo. The county seat board has refused accept the resignation and classes her action as unprofessional conduct. The case will be heard by the county of Mr. MARRIED IN CHICAGO ta Mm A wedding, in which quite a ber of our people will be interested, was solemnised In Chicago last Saturday morning, when Miss Kathryn Buch of this village became the bride of Mr. John Behlke of Chicago. The ceremony took place at St. Thomas of Cantbury church, Edgewater, Chicago, at nine o'clock with Rev. Francis O'Brian officiating. The bride wore a navy blue suit and corsage bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Her attendant, Miss Verena Justen of this village, also, wore a suit of blue and a corsage bouquet of yellow tea roses. Both wore hats to match their suits. The bridegroom was attended by James P. Casey. A wedding reception was tendered the couple at the home of the bride's cousin, Mrs. E. Neese, 1415 Otto St., from which place they left for a short wedding trip to Milwaukee, Wis. At the present time they are making their home with Mr. and Mrs. Neese. The bride is the only daughter of John J. Buch of this village, where she was born and raised. She graduated from the McHenry high school with the class of 'IS. Early in childhood she displayed great fondness for music and as she grew up she became more and more attached to the piano, until a few years ago she was awarded a diploma, which entitled her .to .teaching. Since then and up to about two weeks ago she taught a large class in piano music here. She has also appeared in many public entertinments in McHenry in the past several years and no public musical program was thought quite complete without her presiding at the piano. She has a host of friends in and around McHenry. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Behlke of Rock Island. The family resided in this village a few years ago, at which time the courtship leading to this happy union first began. After leaving McHenry he entered the employ of the American Express company in Chicago, but gave up his position when his coun* try called him for army service. He saw overseas service and returned home only a few months ago. He is again employed with the American Express company, by whom his services are valued highly. The young coilple have the best wishes of their many McHenry friends for a long, happy aad prosperous journey thru life.

Fay. Ray, we are told, will take month's vacation before returning to fiis former vocation. Just what Mr. Fay will do we have not learned, altho our guess is that he will not re main in idleness long. Hostess to Social Wheel Mrs. G. frfrHimler entertained the members of--Aie Social Wheel at her home of Waukegan street on Friday afternoon of last week. Contests furnished amusement for all, at which Mrs. James B. Perry and Miss Lelah Claxton won , high honors. At the close of the afternoon the usual refreshments were served.

MEETING WAS HELD HERE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON Itesrly Appointed County Advhwr Talks to Members of Upal Organization at Auditorium The Home Bureau association met at the school auditorium on Wednesday afternoon. This was the first meeting under the direction of the newly acquired county advisor, Mrs. Mary Dalbey, and was attended by fourteen enthusiastic members and their guests. Mrs. Dalbey addressed the meeting, going over every phase of the work of home making, in which she expected to encourage and assist. Members will be their own demonstrators with a few exceptions. It is important that members keep the object for which they organized in mind and this our competent advisor explained in detail. Every housewife knows that this is a splendidly organized extension work, beneficial in the interchange of progressive plans and methods for home improvement. The plan was fostered by Uncle Sam in 1914 thru the medium of the Smith-Lever bill, when he said that he would subscribe one dollar for every two raised in a local county. The plan is financed by membership fees. The plan being established by the government is not welfare work, but a Home Improvement association that will continue as county work in peace as will as in war. Nothing is so stimulating as to know what someone else in the same field is doing, what they are finding out, to compare problems and work out together their solution. f Value of Home A home is worth all the money ' That the wealthiest man can raise; A home is worth more than it coat him, No matter how much he pays; That is, if it's really homelike-- A place where contentment is, And where he is glad to lingef With all that is truly his. Mrs. Dalbey was assisted tn the program by Mrs. E. A. Harrison of Woodstock, who has been active in organising Household Science clubs in the county for many years, and she never lets her interest wane. Her talk aroused discussion upon such subjects as home budgeting, foods properly prepared and conserved care of the home, etc. Mrs. Harrison is shining light in the wor£ of the county and members extended to her hearty welcome.' Mrs. Dalbey has an office in the rest room of the court house at Woodstock, where every woman will be welcome to call upon her for individual help and ideas, also to rest when tired and away from home. Officers of the local association urge the ' McHenry homemakers to attend these meetings, which will be held monthly, notice of which will be published in The Plaindealer. Take time away from your individual housekeeping to share in community housekeeping and its standard will be elevated and prosperity increased. OPENING OF EMPIRE Otis Oliver Players Will There Next Week Appear McHenry's new theatre, the Empire, will have its first real opening next week, when the Otis Oliver players appear there on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. This company comes very highly recommended, having playe^ Sftany of the larger cities of the central west. For an entire year they played the Schubert theatre at St. Paul* Minn., while they have made maa# of the big towns in this state. The company is considered one of the strongest now traveling the small cities and Manager J. W. Smith considers himself quite fortunate in securing such a high class company for the opening of his new play house. Considerable scenery is carried by the company and with plenty of stage room to use it, together with an orchestra, which is carried by tin company, McHenry theatre-goers are promised the biggest treat ever enjoyed in their home town. A different play will be presented on each of the three nights. In Motorcycle Accident Joe Freund, an employe of the Borden Milk company here, met with a very painful accident about six o'clock last Sunday evening. He was riding a motorcycle and as he struck the sand just below the hill near the Schumacher farm on the Ringwood road he lost control of the machine, with the result that the cycle swerved and struck the barbed wire fence. Instead of going thru the fence as would have naturally been expected, the machine* followed its course, dragging the rider along the wire for some distance before the machine was finally brought to a stop. Dr. A. I. Froehlich was called into attendance and found that the victim had suffered a severe gash across the lower abdomen as well as below the right knee. It required neary twenty stitches to close up the wound and reports from his bedside this morning are to the effect that he is making a satisfactory reeovary. The injury will keep him laid- up fler throe weeks at least. nas or ucm. water AB PICKED UP BT PLAUIDKALSR REPORTERS DURING SCHOOL NOTES of Interest From Oar tlon of Learniac a. ^extended fa everyone to be \ ^ The third and fourth grades » making some fine tam-o-shanters durng their construction periods. The Home Improvement association held a meeting in the school auditorium Wednesday afternoon. A Girls' Glee club has been organized in the high school.

Sunday school at 10 o'clock; morning services at 11:00 o'clock. S. J. Harrison, Pastor. Making Phonographs Altho the concern has made very little noise about it during the past few weeks, the Hunter Manufacturing company of this place is now turning out phonographs in large numbers. At the present time there are sixty of these machines being completed, while there is material enough on hand to complete 600. The Plaindealer hopes to make a very important announcement concerning this'factory in next week's The Merry-go-Roundeni In honor of the anniversary of his birth, the members of the Merry-go- Round club tendered Walter F. Vogt a very pleasant surprise at his home on Main street last Friday evening. Altho not anticipating anything of the sort, Mr. Vogt made his guests feel perfectly st home and enter tained them in a manner that sent them home in the very best of spirits Five hundred was the forih of amusement chosen for the evening, with high honors going to Mrs. F. A. Bohlander and Dr. R. G. Chamberlin An event of this kind could not have been complete without refreshments, which were partaken of at the dose of the card games. Those present were Messrs. and Mesdames C. W. Stenger, R. G. Chamberlin, F. A. Bohlander, C. L. Page and F. E, Covalti Salvation Army Drive The Salvation Army drive, which opened up on Monday morning and will continue for a week, is showing slow progress in this township, especially in the village. However, it is the hope of the township chairman that our quota of $600 will have been reached before the closing of the drive next Monday night. Here* in the villsge very little soliciting has been done up to the time of going to press, but, we are told, that solicitors will be out in real earnest from now on. So much has been said in favor of the Salvation Army and the wonderful work accomplished by it, especially during the late war, that very little remains to be told. It's a very worthy cause and you will be doing a real act of charity by con tributing your mite in this drive. Is Five Years Old To assist her daughter, Rita Phu, in celebrating her fifth birthday anni versary, Mrs. R. T. Wray entertained twenty-five little folks at her home on Green street between 2:00 and 6:00 o'clock last Saturday afternoon The home was decorated in pink and white and favors in the form of paper caps with bright tassels were given each little guest.

According to some of our storekeepers, the housewives of McHenry and vicinity have done more canning this season than ever before. Tuesday marked the beginning of autumn and those who are confronted with empty coal bins are wishing that their winter's supply was in. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pries are en- , joying a few days' automobile tbur. Mrs. Mary Green is assisting at the Central meat market and giatiaij * during their absence.

We are told that he expects to be open fat/ business shortly. A number of our lovers of outdoor life returned home Monday from two weeks' encampment at Grass Lake. The breaking up of camp waa characterized with a little "stunt" of their own pulled off by M. L. Worts and Wm. Heimer. Jos. Stilling last week dosed a deal whereby he came into possession of the Albert Colby estate farm, situated about three miles south of this village. The farm included about 300 acres. The sale was made thru the agency of Ben Stilling 4 Son. Twenty members of the McHenry Chapter, O. E. S., journeyed to Bgin last Saturday evening, where they attended a meeting of the Elgin chapter, it being guest night for that society. The McHenryites report fine treatment and a real enjoyable time. John R. Knox, the local dealer, ceived a number of new Fords lest week and same were immediately delivered to purchasers who have been awaiting the arrival of same for soflee time past It just seems that the Ford plant cannot keep up with tha demand for the "flivver."

Our baker is also contemplating the installation of a larger and ^ more modern oven before the opening of another summer season. ^ Confirmation will take place at 8k. ! Patrick's Catholic church in this village on Wednesday, Oct 15.
