Deputy game wardens over in Lake county are out after those who are using a hunting license and are not entitled to same for the reason that they are not American citizens. Richmond is without a picture show. Robert Gibbs, who ran shows at Memorial hall in that village, was forced to retire from the business when the village board / raised the rent on him. A playground has been purchased for use of the children of the Algonquin public school. The playgrounds will be nicely equipped and will fill a much needed want in that enterprising little village. The Borden milk bottling plant at Cary, which was recently purchased by the Bowman Dairy company, is now being remodeled and enlarged The Bowman company hopes to occupy same about the first of the year. Enthusiasts of the sport* at Round Lake and Grayslake have organized a golf club. Forty acres of land, located one-half mile east of Round Lake, have bqen rented for the purpose and the, membership fee will be $ 2 6 . , r ; , Recent ruins haw caused some serious' delays on the new cement SCHOOL Held at Crystal Lafee Week, Oct. 6 to 10 MET road which is now under construction between Volo and Waukegan. Contractors now fear that the road cannot be completed before the setting in of cold weather. The new building now under course of erection on the Todd seminary grounds at Woodstock is fast nearing completion. Nearly one hundred boys, the largest in the history of the institution, are this year enrolled in the school. The village of Richmond is asking the C. & N. W. Railway Co. to construct a modern concrete bridge over the Broadway crossing in that village The present wood structure, which has answered the purpose for many years, has not only become an eye' sore, but dangerous as well. Wm. Zenk, who resides northwest of Crystal Lake, lost his right hand in a broom corn scraper one day recently and before the engine could be brought to a stop his right arm was also broken in two places. He was rushed to the Woodstock hospital, where, according to reports, he is do ing nicely. C. M. Stevenson, who for many years was employed at the Hunt, Helm, Ferris & Co. factory at Har vard, and who last spring attempted to locate a -farm equipment factory at Crystal Lake, has organized $100,000 corporation at Barton, Wis. where a large two-story factory building is now nearing completion The Elgin Sanitary Milk company of Elgin has purchased the Borden property on the corner of Spring and North streets and will immediately erect thereon an $18,000 model milk bottling plant. The property was originally purchased by the Borden company so as to give them the use of the water supplied by natural springs. That Lake county will not wait for her turn in securing hard roads from the* state was seen at a meeting of the Lake county supervisors held last week, at which time the board went on record as favoring a million dollar road building program and the voters of the county will be given an opportunity to express their approval or disapproval at the coming November election. The voting of the new bond issue will give hard roads to all of ike principal roads in that county. . Arthur Hoeft, aged nineteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hoeft, who reside on a farm between Wauconda and Lake Zurich, fell from a sixty foot wind mill tower one day last week and died instantly. The accident occurred during the noon hour while the family was at dinner, there being no eye witness to the accident. The young man had gone out to get a pail of water and the supposition is that when the mill failed to respond to the wire that throws same into the young man climbed to the top of the tower to ascertain the trouble and while standing on the platform the large fan was suddenly thrown into motion, with the result that the young man was swept off the platform and fell to his deatfa^ s t»ck was broken in the fall. v Announcement of the program for the annual institute for the McHenry county school teachers, which will be held in the Crystal Lake high school, October 6 to 10, inclusive, was sent to all rural teachers and city superintendents by County Superintendent ArM. Shelton. In his opinion, one of the best programs this county has ever had will be provided. President H. W. Shryock of the Carbondale, Illinois, State Normal will lecture thituout the week and will deal with class room problems. A special lecturer has been engaged for each day to speak on topics related to present problems that now confront out nation. " These topics will be in the nature of proper training for good citizenship. Every school in the county will close for the week of institute. It is accepted without qualification that the very best and most wide awake teachers get the most good out of professional gatherings and every form of organized activity fecognizes the value of such meetings. Many teachers will find it a convenience to drive each day from their home to the institute. In like manner, it will be well for each, so far as possible, to take their lunch instead of relying uppn the restaurants for meals. Aside from the morning and afternoon lectures by President Shryock, the following will deliver an address both morning and afternoon, as follows: Monday, October 6--Dr. Edward A. Ross, University of Wisconsin, department of economics. Tuesday, October 7--Dr. John A. Scott, Northwestern University, department of history. Wednesday, October 8--Supt. J. O.

CRYSTAL LAKE SATURDAY LAST Salvation Army Drive Continue® Owing to the fact that this township failed to make its quota in the Salvation Army fund drive, which opened up a week ago last Monday, the drive in this township has been continued another "Week, with the hope that our full quota of $600 will have been reached by that time. There are still quite a number who have not been solicited and* the workers hope to have their labors over by next Saturday night. Chairman Pouse informed a Plaindealer scribe the first of the week that only about one-half of our quota had been subscribed at that time and it will require some hustling on the part of the solicitors and more "digging" on the part of the public if we are to make our quota. Let's all help the cause, which is one of the worthiest in America today Bowling Tournameat A week's bowling tournament will open at Smithy's alley on the West Side next Monday, when the proprietor of the alleys will hang up three prizes for the three highest scores hung up during the week. The first prize will be a regulation bowling ball; second, $5.00 in cash, and the third, $2.00 in cash. All rules governing bowling tournaments will be observed, especially the foul line rules. The prices for the tournament will be five rolls for a dime. The tournament will close on Saturday night, Oct. 11, while all tie scores will be rolled off on the following Monday night. Arthur Hunter Hanarad Arthur D. Hunter, son of Mr.' and Mrs. Everett Hunter of this village, awarded a signal honor on his return to his school work at Urbana a short time ago, when he received his appointment as regimental sergeant major of the second regiment. This is the highest non-commissioned officer's position in the entire regiment and is the highest office that can be held by a sophomore. There are only two such officers in the entire reserve officers' training corps at that school. His many McHenry friends will be agreeably surprised as well as pleased to learn of his advancement. Bogus Federal Reserve Notes Notice of a new counterfeit $20 note on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was given out by the treasury last week. The border of the bogus note and the background of Cleveland's portrait are solid black instead of having fine cross lines and the treasury numbers are black instead of blue. Installs Electric Clippers. An electric hair clipping madltfW, the first in McHenry, has been stalled in Smithy's barber shop on the West Side.

Willard Cobb of the Crystal Lake Herald and that he took good care of the scribes of McHenry county will be vouched for by all of those present. Every paper in the county was represented at the meeting with the exception of The Plaindealer, illness of the editor and owner making it impossible for him to be present. QuinUuv Engagement Cancelled Owing to the non-arrival of the special scenery, the Otis Oliver Stock company engagement at the Empire theatre was cancelled on Monday of this week. Manager Smith does not propose to have the opening of his new theatre made a "fizzle" therefore his action of cancelling the engagement the moment he learned that the scenery was missing. We believe that Mr. Smith acted wisely in this matter, as a "poor" opening would not do the house any good. The Empire theatre is so equipped as to handle the best of attractions now offered the theatre going public in the smaller cities and towns of the state and the owner of this beautiful theatre feels that his patrons are entitled to the best that his house can accommodate and thus has deferred the opening until some attraction worthy of the public's support can be booked for his house. New Ice House The stakes have already been driven for the new 36x50 ft. ice house which is to be erected by Chas. Unti just west of his ice cream factory on Green street. Cement for the foundation is slow in arriving, but is expected in time so that work on the new building may be started some time next week. Hie house will be eighteen feet in height with four feet underground. The underground is merely an experiment and if same works out like the owner expects it will he proposes to go down another foot before the house has its second filling. Ice for the house .will be taken -from the mill pond. Undergoes Operation lbs. Elizabeth Rothermel went to Chicago the first of the week, where she entered the West Side hospital and underwent a successful operation on Tuesday of this week. Reports from Chicago are to the effect that she is doing very nicely after the operation, which, it is hoped by her many friends here, will soon bring bar bade to Har former good health. Miss Pearl Claxton was » Chicago visitor Saturday. Miss Hartman, teacher of room No. 5. spent the week end in Marengo. The Girls' Glee club is planning to put on a minstrel show before long. Watch for the date. We are glad to have Elva and Pearl Moore back in school again after several days' absence. Mrs. J. B. Perry and Miss Knox were among the visitors in the high school since the last writing. Miss Mabel Krumpen of the junior class has been absent the past week on account of an attack of influenza. The fifth grade has some booklets on trees and also some color charts cn exhibit in room No. 3. The work is unusually good and is worth a trip to the school building in order to see it. The McHenry county teachers' institute will be held in the gymnasium of the Crystal Lake high school beginning next Monday urid continuing all week. The schools will therefore be closed next week. The schedules for last lAonth show that there are 102 boys and 123 girls in attendance, making a total of 225. The high school enrollment was 68. The visitors numbered 29. It is always encouraging to us to have the parents and others interested in the work to visit the school. The sophomore class has been moved into the study hall with the freshmen. It is hoped that before so very long the room vacated by the sophomores may be fitted up for a laboratory, as the room now used for laboratory work is much to small. At present the room is used as a recitation room. A certificate of accredited relationship with the University of Illinois was received last week. The high school is fully accredited with the university until June, 1921. Eighteen credits are allowed and students who graduate from the McHenry high school and whose credits include at least fifteen of the eighteen credits are admitted to the university without condition or examination. Report cards in the elementary school are out this week. It is hoped that parents will examine them carefully, sign as indicated and return them to the teacher. The grades for the past month are based upon the work done in class, attendance and tests given by the teacher from time to time. The grades for next month will be an average between the class grade and a grade made by exmination at the end of the month. Examinations in the grades will be given bi-monthly. The attention of parents is called to the compulsory attendance law of Illinois. „The law requires that every person having control of any child between the ages of seven and sixteen shall cause such child to attend school during the entire time that school is in session, and for every neglect of such duty prescribes a fine of not less than five dollars and costs of suit. It is the duty of the superintendent to report cases to the county truant officer. Exception to the above is where the child is neces sarily and lawfully employed during the hours that school is in session between the ages of fourteen and six teen. In order to be lawfully employed the child must have an educa tional certificate signed by the super intendent, and the employer and par ent are both liable to fine if the child does not have such certificata. Among the Movers There has been considerable moving in the village during the past week. E. H. Winfield has moved his family from the flat over his barber shop in Centerville to the John Justen house on the corner of Elm street and Maple avenue, while the Frank Zuelsdorf family is now residing in the flat over C. Unti's ice cream parlor, after vacating the Schumacher cottage in the rear of the telephone exchange building. Mr. and Mrs. G E. Steilen and family have moved here from Chicago and are now occupying the flat vacated by the Winfield family.

Concern Wishes to Increase Capacity to 2M Per Week--Important Changes Are Planned Altho very little has been made public within the past several weeks, the Everett Hunter Manufacturing company of this village has been working along on its phonographs during all this time and each week that passes makes the situation for large business at the local plant loom up more conspicuously. The writer called at the company's plant on Wednesday afternoon of this week and was quite agreeably surprised to see the phonographs under actual construction. At this time the machines are being turned out at the rate of six a day, but within a very short time, possibly within the next three or four weeks, the output will be increased to at least fifty machines week, and will continue to increase until the 200 per week mark has been reached. At least, this is the goal that the company has set out to reach. At the present time an order for fifty machines is being filled and just soon as this has been done work of re-arranging the entire factory will be started. Just noty the work of manufacturing the phonograph is being carried on under a handicap, in that the real working system has not as yet been established at the plant. The present order is being filled for the sole purpose df ascertaining the cost of manufacture, when the com pany will be in a position to quote prices to those who are anxiously awaiting deliveries from the Mc Henry plant. As stated above, there will be. an entire re-arrangement of the present working conditions of the factory. The entire northeast wing of the factory will be cleared to piake room for the laying of a new floor. The machinery will be reset and so placed to bring the manufac ture of their products to a systematic and labor saving degree. Besides the machinery now in use, there will be much new equipment placed when the changes are being made. Three new boilers Have already been ordered and are expected to arrive before cold weather sets in, thus giving the plant a perfect heating system, which will be absolutely necessary. The room formerly used for display purposes will be used as drying room, while the real manufacturing end of the business will be carried on in the wing now used for the purpose. Just now the company is experiencing some little trouble in getting its veneered material. Efforts have been made repeatedly during the past few weeks for a supply of this wood, but up to the present time no success has been attained. In speaking to the president regarding this material, we were told that a final effort in this direction will be made next week, when the head of the McHenry factory will make a special trip to Milwaukee, Wis., and in case he is unsuccessful then a saw mill and pressing outfit will be purchased and placed in the local plant, thus the veneering will be done right here at home instead of depending on concerns who are unable to make deliveries at this time. Just how fast and how large the local manufacturing plant is destined to grow depends entirely upon the supply of material and labor. Right now there are orders awaiting Mr. Hunter's acceptance that would keep the plant going steadily at the rate of 200 machines a week. One order from a Chicago concern is asking for 500 machines for immediate delivery with a standing order for fifty a week thereafter. A St. Louis concern wishes to place an Order for the factory's entire output, while quite number of other concerns have written the local concern asking for quotations and inform .tion as to the output of the factory. New help will be added steadily jintil the plant's capacity has been reached. Right at this time, Mr. Hunter informs us, jobs are awaiting all the local carpenters who wish inside employment for the winter months and just as soon as the new working system is inaugurated there will be jobs open for a number of unskilled workmen who wish to hreak into the business. Up to this time Mr. Hunter informs us that he has received but two applications for positions, both of these coming from young men who are now employed on farms near this village. These two will be put to" work within the next two weeks We believe that there are still number of young men in and around McHenry who are willing to go to work in the McHenry factory and to these we wish to say that it will be advisable for them to place their applications for work at once. Jobs will soon be open for a number of such applicants and there will be a Thirty-five members of the Chicago Athletic club were guests of President Sidney Smith of the Chapel Hill Country club at' HowelPs Villas last Saturday. Unique invitations to the "Gump Party," as Mr. Smith saw fit to name it, gave an outline of the day's program, which consisted of a golf tournament, luncheon at 12:30 p. m. and a clam bake at six o'clock. The tournament prize of the afternoon went to Alexander H. Revell qjf Chicago, who not only won the day's honors, but set a new record for others to shoot at by making the nine-hole course in 33, the best score ever registered on the links. Among others to make good scores were Chas. H. Barras of Glen Oak, who finished second with 35; Sandy Whyte of Kenosha, Wis., third, and Allen McLean of Chicago, fourth. The course was in the very best condition that has ever been seen and, to say the very least, the guests were shown a fine time. Old "Andy Gump," dressed in his Sunday best, occupied a place near the entrance to the grounds, directing the guests as they arrived lest they accidentally pass on. "Andy" surely looked his proudest as he stood there and pointed the way to the grounds, his presence receiving the comments of the distinguished guests as they passed thru the arched gateway. 1 Special score cards, also the work of Mr. Smith, were used, showing "Andy" all 'stripped down for action with his golf stick thrown over his right shoulder and carrying a bottle of hair tonic in his left hand. A number of the visitors remained over Sunday, altho most of the guests returned to their homes that evening. President Smith of the local club is now planning on entertaining the "Forty club" of Chicago and hopes to have them out sometime before the close of the present golf season. AS PICKED UP BT PLAINDBALBB REPORTERS DURING WKiat 'MS •v-ij: • if The Results of War Lewis Kersting and his sister, Miss Mae, were guests in the home of their cousin, Geo. Adams, near Ringwood the first of the week. The two were on their way to their home at Hope, N. D., the sister having gone to Baltimore, Md., where Lewis has been attending a school for young men who have been disabled during the late war. Mr. Kersting saw more than a year's service in France and during the terrible conflict lost the sight of both eyes thru the burst ing of a shrapnel. After arriving 1ft the hospital from the field of action his right eye fell out, while the other was in such shape that saving same was entirely out of the question. He is only twenty-four years of age and to think that he must go thru life handicapped in this manner seems terrible. He made poultry raising his study while in the east ern school and has gone home with the hope that he will be able to bring the knowledge achieved into practical use. Baseball Returns at Smithy's Martin B. Schmitt, proprietor of the West McHenry amusement par lors and barber shop, has again made arrangements with the Western Union Telegraph company whereby he is now receiving the returns of the world's baseball series by innings. Followers of the sport should appre ciate Mr. Schmitt's efforts in supplying this service, which is not had in many towns larger than McHenry, New Ice Plant Ordered Al. Krause, proprietor of the Riverside dairy, informs us that he has placed an order for an ice machine, which is to be installed in his milk depot on Elm street the first of the ir. The ice shortage during the past summer has caused him to make the move. The new machine will not only be cleaner and more sanitary than the old method of cooling, but will, in the long run, save him some money as well. Closed Successful Season The dancing season at Nell's Columbia park pavilion on Fox river, near the Johnsburg bridge, came to an official close last Friday night, when the last dance of the present season took place. Altho the air was a trifle cool for outside dancing, a. good crowd was on hand to enjoy the closing of this popular resort. Th» season proved one of the most successful that the place has ever enjoyed.
