Stephens, who was recently transferred to the Joliet district. The official census compiled a short time ago gives Elgin a population of 27,431, and now some of the officials there seem to think thct some mistake has been made in taking up the figures, as they feel that Elgin has more than 28,000 people. Mayor Price of Elgin insists that there should be more revenue coming to that city than is now the case and is now planning an ordinance which assesses the six banks of that city $1,000 eaeh. If the ordinance passes this will be made an annual tax. James Evans, Algonquin CAttle dealer, dropped dead near the depot in that village at 5:30 o'clock last Sat urday evening.

A committee, composed of members of the Crystal Lake Commercial club is «nt to sell 1,000 shares in the Elgin Building & Homestead association Over 900 shares are already sold This proposition, it is hoped, will pro vide many new homes badly needed in that city at this time.

They were then placed under a heavy bail, which they succeeded in obtaining, and returned to their home to await the final disposition of their case, which occurred in Chicago last week. The boys pled guilty to the charge of evading the draft and the federal court gave each of them a six months' term in the county jail. Baby Chicks E,' If, Jpeterson of Johnsburg, wfco. owns one of the largest brooders in McHenry county, is looking forward to the busiest season that he has ever enjoyed. Already he has orders for the delivery of 2,500 baby chicks with more coming in right along. His brooder is of 3,600 capacity and this, together with the smaller machine, a 1200 egg outfit, will be kept busy during the entire season. The season's first batch of 900 eggs has been started, but the real business will not start until after thrf middle of April. Last year five batches were turned out of the big machine and from the manner in which orders are being received this record will be smashed this season. The orders now in are all from farmer's residing in this locality. Last year the large brooder was started about April 1 and was kept busy until August 1. Will Leave For Europe C. F. Norager and daughter, Eraa, leave New York next Thursday for Copenhagen, Denmark. They will leave on the Oscar 2nd and expect to be away five or six months. Mr. Norager's mission is purely a business one and will be made in the interest of O. O. Lucas A Co. of Chicago, by whom he has been employed as special representative during the past few years. His daughter will act as his private secretary. During the absence of Mr. N6rager the interests of the Orchard Beach hotel, on Fox river north of this village, will be carefully looked after by his son, Leslie, who is in every way capable of taking over the management of the place. Turning Out Fifty Machines The Hunter Manufacturing com pany of this village is now turning out fifty phonograph cabinets a week. This point of production was reached last week and, according to all indi* cations, the pace will be kept up for some weeks to come. However, it is hoped that before the summer has passed this number will hate been In creased very materially. Tiling Job Under Way The work of tiling and draining the property to be occupied by McHenry's new lumber plant is now well under way and it now looks as if actual construction work will begiq very ! soon. me mugncgrraa SECOND TICKET IS EXPECTED BEFORE MONDAY IWn Election Next Tuesday--Race For Highway Commissioner Oflice School Matters Are Quiet Since our last issue local politics have taken on a bit more color and from now on until all of the spring elections are over there should be plenty of action among the candidates and voters of the village and community. Yoters of the town will .be given their first opportunity to express themselves at the polls next Tuesday, th« date for the holding of the annual town election. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, three town offices become vacant this year and, according to the petitions filed, the office of commissioner of highways will be the only one of the three in which a contest will be waged. For this particular office two good men are aspirants, John Boyle and Wm. B. Tonyan. Chas. B. Harm sen for town clerk and J. W. Kimball for assessor are unopposed and will have clear sailing. Both of" the candidates for the highway commissioner office are making a thoro canvass among th(i voters of the town and as a result of this a big vote is predicted. Among the other elections, including two school and the village, the latter seems to be drawing the greater intereit. Already there is one tietfet filed with the village clerk This is headed as the people's ticket and bears the names of Michael Freund, Joseph Justen and Nick F. Freund. That a second ticket will be filed almost sure. According to the meagre information at hand the friends of the three aldermen whose terms expire this spring are anxious for them to make the race again this year and at this writing it looks as if they will consent to do so. The three men whose terms expire this spring are Petfr J. Doherty, John R. Knox and Albert Krause. Wm. G. Schreiner, who is again a candidate for the office of village clerk, a position he has creditably filled for a number of years, has his petition in circulation and hopes to have same filed within the next day or two. He will undoubtedly be re elected without opposition. The school elections, up to thit time, have awakened but little interest and it now looks as if the community affair, at least, will be settled without opposition. Many of the voters *feel that the two men who have served but short terms are entitled to re-election and therefore no effort has been made to induce more candidates to enter the field. Nothing new has developed in the district No. 15 school election since our last issue. Heeee Shortage % McHenry, in common with all of the growing towns thruout the country, is experiencing a scarcity of desirable houses and, in order to relieve the situation and offer inducements to outsiders who wish to come here to reside, suitable houses must be built. House seekers are becoming more numerous each week and if McHenry is to experience that boom which is now knocking at our door she must do her part in receiving the newcom ers by providing more homes. This is a matter which commands the earn est consideration of each and every man in McHenry and it would please us very much to see some action taken before the golden opportunity again slips by. Ki&clnA' •',Kf •' •*•"•"a ^ Dance Mwdagr Night An Easter dance will be given un der the auspices of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, at their hall on Monday evening, April 5. As this will be the first public dancing party attempted in the council's new home (Central opera house) the com mittee is doing everything within its power and means to make the coming event one of the most enjoyable ever held in the village. Smith's orchestra which has won some fame thruout this vicinity during the past year, has been engaged to furnish the music Dance tickets, $1.00 per tfouple gents, 26c; ladies, 10c. A cordial in vitation" is extended to everyone to attend. Waaconda Hit Hard LMt' Sunday's tornado is said to have hit Wauconda quite hard. The James McGraw place south of the village as well as the DeSmet- tile factory suffered most At the for mer place a large dairy barn was taken away, while about forty head of cattle were killed or so badly in jured that they cannot live. The roof as well as one side of the tile factory were torn down Mid several barns and other out-buildings in the path of the storm were unroofed. One or two houses in the village were also damaged, but fortunately no one was injured.

HARRISON, B. S. "BOOZE" THEVES CAUGHT STEAL THIRTY CASES AT LAKE GENEVA Well, you been thinkin' any more about community co-operation since last week," said Peter to his friend, Bill, as the two Walked down the street from the club where they had enjoyed the evening. "Indeed I have," replied the other. I've been thinking about the young people of our village. Why you know my boy, Jack. He crime to me the other night an<) said: 'Say, dad, what's a fellow got to do ground this town anyhow? Pm tired of the slow old bunk that you hear at the barber shop and ordinary town gossip. Why in thunder can't we move to Chicago or some place where there's something doing?' " "Now you know Pete, he set me thinking. What is there to interest the young people of this village? There isn't a library where they can go to read; There isn't a gymnasium where they can take exercises. There isn't a hall that they can have good, clean, wholesome entertainment and recreation. I know there are a lot of our young people that feel the same about it as Jack." Well, don't you suppose that if we would agitate the need of a good, wholesomfe recreation that something might be done in McHenry," said Pete. I have no doubt of it at all. I've talked it over with a lot of my friends and I think everybody sees the need of something of the kind. It's simply question of getting it before the public and getting the proper people to take the lead in it" Well, what would be the matter of putting this into the hands of the Business Men's club such as you suggested last week might handle our housing situation? They could put the whole matter before the public. You might call it the Knocker and Booster club. They knock conservatism and boost McHenry." "Say,, speaking of that reminds me of a few verses I saw the other day by Edmund Vance Cooke. They run like this: Said the booster to/he knockar* 'I'M supposed to boost it's true, Yet while 1 boost the boosters, I am knocking--knocking you.' Skid the knocker to the booster, 'Man, you'd never draw a breath If I didn't knock the knockers Wilo'd be knocking you to death.' Then I'll boost you,* said the booster, for it's very plain to see That I ought to boost the knocker when his knocks are boosting me.' If you boost me,' said the knocker, 'I shall knock you on the spot, For when you boost a knocker, yvu are knocking, are you not?' If I boost you,' said the booster, then I knock--I knock myself, But if I a booster--knock you, then my job goes on the shelf. Oh, I meant to be a booster, not a senseless heartless mocker, Yes, I meant to be a booster, and I find myself a knocker.' When I knock you,' said the knocker, *1 am boosting little me, And even tho I knock myself, I boost your work you see, So I meant to be a knocker, not a senseless, crowing,rooster, Yes, I meant to be a knocker, bot I find myself a booster.' Mr. Knocker, Mr. Booster, Ufa »s life and few are able To go its way consistently relying on a label, For a booster is a knocker whein he boosts without a thought And a knocker is a booster when he knocks the things lie ought.' ** "Well, Pete, 1 say there's more truth than poetry in those lines. And I think a Booster and Knocker club could do a good deal for McHenry. Say we talk this over with more of pur friends and then maybe we can get together." \ "Good. So long, Bill" "So long, Pete." PENALTIES BEING IMPOSED OnThsae Found Guilty of Not Filing Income Tax Reporta Apprehended Near Holcombville School When Auto Gets Stuck In Mud--Now at Woodstock 1 Posing as prohibition agents, Chicago thieves raided the wine cellar of Frank Rehm at Lake Geneva on Tuesday afternoon of this week. No one but the caretaker was at the place when the intruders arrived and within a very short time thirty cases of "booze" had been loaded onto a huge truck in which the thieves had driven to the Wisconsin summer resort The caretaker was then ordered onto the truck on the pretense that he was under arrest He was carried as far as Hebron and there told to go about his way. One can easily guess that the caretaker soon discovered what was up and lost no time in telephoning the various towns between there and Chicago to be on the lookout for the big truck. McHenry was one of the first towns notified and as a result a strong guard stood at the Fox river bridge here during the greater part of the afternoon. About seven o'clock that evening word came to McHenry that the truck was stalled near the Holcombville school house and one can easily guess that it didn't take McHenry county officials long to make the capture and arrest. The truck contained seven men besides the "booze" and the whole outfit was taken over to the county jail, where the men are awaiting their hearing, which is to take place tomorrow. Lose Championahip ' "• The McHenry high school ^basket ball team, in spite of its unlucky breaks of the season, had the honor of fighting it out with Crystal Lake at the county basket ball tournament at Crystal Lake last Saturday night. On Friday evening the locals met and defeated the Woodstock highs in what was probably the most exciting game of the tournament McHenry winning by the close margin of 21 to 20. The score at the final game on Saturday night was 44 to 11, with Crystal Lake holding the big end. While the winners of the tournament had an ad vantage over all other teams in that the games were staged1 in their own gym, the result would have undoubtedly been the same no matter where the tournament was held. Crystal Lake this year has the strongest team in the history of the school and their season's record is one of which every member the team has reason to feel local quintet took the good grace and are perfee*ly j9md that the game and the McHenry county basket ball championship went to the team entirely worthy of the honor. We are informed that since the opening of their office in McHenry the two revenue men sent to this village from the Chicago headquarters have been kept quite busy. The purpose of their visit at this time is to round up residents of the village and rural districts who have failed to file -their income tax reports within the time allotted and as a result of their work here quite a few have been called to the local offices to explain matters and make out thejr reports. . In cases where an individual has never filed a report, we are told, the revenue men go back for two years and if it is found that they are subject to a tax collections are made for the two years together with a stiff fine. Fines, we are told, have already been paid by at, least two or three of our people and, according to the men in charge of affairs here, their work is still unfinished. The two gentlemen have received orders to appear in Chjcago on Friday of this wek, but they expect to return to McHenry, as there is still considerable unfinished business. Just how heavy the fines have been imposed in McHenry The Plaindealer has been unable to learn, but from rumors picked up at random the sums are placed at from $250 to $500.

At the time of his discharge he was stationed at Camp Bragg, Fayetteville, N. C. His bride was formerly Miss Myrtice Monghum of Anniston, Ala., and the wedding occurred at Fayetteville, If. C., oh December 26 last Mr. and Mrs. Niesen are now making their home with the former's parents on Water street where they expect to remain for the summer at least His many friends about the village were glad to greet him back home and availed themselves of the opportunity to congratulate the happy pair.

Members and friends of our church and Sunday school are cordially invited to attend both of these services next Sunday^ Samuel J. Harrison, Pastor. April Milk $2.75 Jh spite of the wild rumors which have been circulated thruout this entire vicinity, the Borden factory in this village was open and receiving milk the same as usual this (Thursday) • morning. Some just insisted that the Borden plant here would not open today and that all milk would be refused. How such unfounded rumors get started is more than we areVable to understand, but it seems as if some people just cannot resist ^starting some wild stories just to keep up a feeling between milk producers and the big buyers. The price of milk for April delivery has bpffi get at $2.75 per hundred pounds. Engage Another Teacher In order to relieve the overcrowded condition which has existed in. our public school during the past several months, the board of education has engaged the services of Miss West Side, where he is employed, i Alice Knox, who on Monday morning of this week was placed in charge of the seventh grade. The auditorium has been fitted up for class room purposes and this grade is now nicely quartered there. The injured member was set by Dr. A. I. Froehlich and the victim is getting along very nicely. The injury will keep Mr. Peterson A '.•tc t-a . • • •X;r- ' kh sL. is, I idleness Haul Freight and Expi Fred Weinschenker informs us that he has met with sufficient encouragement to go ahead with his plans of starting a freight and express truck service between this village and Chicago and expects to have same in operation about the middle of the month or soon thereafter. He has already arranged for a shipping and unloading point in Chicago, which will be located at the corner of South Water and LaSalle streets, and his plans are to start the service by making three trips to and from Chicago weekly, viz., Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. He will haul both ways and assures those interested that he will be able to do this transferring just as cheaply as the freight or express companies. He also intends to go after the farm business in the immediate vicinity of McHenry and will be in a position to carry their veal, live stock and farm produce. Anyone wishing any further information regarding the service, prices, etc., may have same by consulting Mr. Weinschenker. i. New Bake Oven Installed ®** A new white enamel bake oven of 330 loaf capacity was recently installed in the McHenry bakery and is now in commission. The oven was made by the Middleby & Marshall Oven Co. and is of the very latest improved type. The oven is located in the rear of the bakery building on Green street and the partition between the retail store and bakery proper has been removed so as to give passers-by a clear view of the oven from the street. The improvement is indeed a very noticeable one and bespeaks the prosperity that is being enjoyed by the institution. Mr. Lallinger, the proprietor, informs us that he is now supplying bread to all of the local dealers and for the first time in many years no bread is being shipped into the village. This is indeed a very good testimonial for his product and one of which the baker has reasons to feel proud. Entertained Merry-Go-Roaad The members of the Merry-Go- Round club were most delightfully entertained in the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bohlander on Waukegan street last Thursday evening. Five hundred was played and prizes were awarded to Mrs. F. E. Covalt and W. F. Vogt The serving of dainty refreshments -marked the closing of an unusually happy evening.
