Mrs. Martin Ekelund is now the now forewoman at tho St Charles net and hammock factory at Crystal Lake. The working force has also been increased from nine to sixteen , employes. Women voters of Hebron last week met and formed a Republican woman's club, the principal object of which is to induce the women of the township to go to the polls on April IS and participate in the presidential preference primary. The officials of the Wauconda tile factory have given out 'notice that they expect to be in operation again in about a week. Thfe recent tornado did considerable damage to the building, bilt fortunately the machinery stood unharmed. . A deal was recently consummated whereby the Marengov Public Service company came into ownership of Huntley's. private lighting system. The purchasers are planning on extending their line from Marengo to Huntley via Union.

The PURCHASE STAND OF COLORS Village Board to Present Legion • With Beaatifnl Flag aad Banner •w TMYJUI WHS BY 18 VOTES Steps were taken last MondayJby the village board to purchase and present to the American Legion of McHenry a stand of colors, consisting of the American flag and post banner. These flags are the finest to be had, being made of the best silk and each surmounted by a large spread solid brass eagle, and the post banner having the name of the McHenry post placed thereon in pure gold leaf. Nothing more appropriate ,could be presented to the veterans by the village and the boys will always carry a warm spot in their hearts for the present board, which has so generously provided their Legion with such beautiful insignia of their country and Legion post. Plans will be made to have these flags officially presented to the Legion on Decoration day, on which day the McHenry post will take part in the Decoration day exercises, taking the position formerly held by the G. A. R. The first dance held by the Legion will also take place Decoration day and from all indications this dance will be something out of the ordinary and worth anyone's time to be there. A meeting of the Legion will be held Monday evening, April 12, at 8:00 o'clock and all members or applicants are urged to be present. Easter Cantata to be Repeated The Reverend F.'C. Carpenter, representing the Anti-Saloon league of the state of Illinois, will be with us next Sunday and speak at our morning services, 11:00 a. m. Rev. Carpenter is a clear and convincing speaker and we are sure will bring us good news from a great battle line. Dr. McGinnis, the state superintendent, says of this man: "I am sure your people will be delighted with the message which he brings." Surely we,people of McHenry have seen enough of the pernicious effects of saloons to rally to the support of the great cause which will be presented. The pastor is convinced that most of us agree with that local business man who said last week, "The saloons are gone--I hope never to return. My business is much better and cleaner than ever before." Sunday school will be at 10:00 a. m. as usual. We DEFEATS JOHN BOYLE FOB HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER are starting on new work and all our itan also owns and conducts a I members will be interested. At 7:80 store at Beloit, Wis. Hiss Irene McAulifFe, the former Franklin Park postmistress, who is charged with embezzlement of thousands of dollars from the federal government, is now an inmate of the McHenry county jail at Woodstock, where she is awaiting her trial, which is scheduled to be heard on April 19. Officials of the Palatine, Lake Zurich & Wauconda railroad are making an appeal for more funds and this time they are using much of their endeavor to get the people of Lake Zurich and Palatine to come in .with them. Heretofore Wauconda has stood the heaviest end of the burden of maintaining the road. The Marengo Commercial club, which a short time ago set out to t»«ul a factory or two for that city, is now in communication with two industries seeking a change in location and, according to reports from that city, the committee in charge feels certain of landing at least one of^the two institutions. Waukegan is another city which Ua't entirely satisfied with the official census returns, which give that place a population of 19,326 as against 16^)69 ten years ago. This means an increase of only 3,257, and in •peaking of same a Waukegan daily comments that every ward in the city will show a gain of that number Tike feeling seems to be that Waukegan's correct population is tomething like 86,000. Woodstock American: Farmers this year must be prepared to answer a A list of forty questions regarding farm production when the -assessor his call at their farms. After et of two years the state leg- %• - islature has again asked assessors to obtain returns which will give the state statistics on grain, livestock and otiter produce of this state. Ques tions will be asked concerning the npnber of aeres in woodland; the nomber used for pastures; the number of silos; number of acres in corn, oats, wheat, barley, rye, clover, timothy, alfalfa, red top millet, wild hay, Md peas, field beans, potatoes, sor gkum; the number of apple, pear and other fruit trees; the number of bees 4NRvs, horses, mules, sows and sheep; tfee number of hens kept for eggs; the amount of limestofle used in 1919; the tans of rock phosphate used in 1919 a*d the number of tons of other fertiliser used. These questions furnish the state with valuable information Troublesome times are ahead for the poor canines of McHenry county. His year their owners must pay the d^g tax direct to the assessor, instead of having it charged on the tax books, the custom in former years. The assessor will issue a tag together with the license, both bearing the same ••mber, and woo omo the oft a tag! aog wiiiin the evening the Easter cantata given last Sunday evening will be repeated. In spite of a fierce storm a large number of people came to hear the cantata last Sunday, but it was thought that many were unable to attend this service who would like to hear the music. The congregation voted therefore to have the cantata repeated next Sunday evening. We are sure that those who were unable to attend will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear a splendid bit of work and worship with us in this service of praise. Samuel J. Harrison, Paster. Win Open New Barter Shop Lee Kertcher, whe recently entered the employ of Martin B. Schmitt's tonsorial shop on the West Side, has rented the store building of Wm Pries in CenterviUe, which foy many years was used for It meat market, and will open therein a first-class barber shop. The place is now undergoing quite extensive repairs and alterations and when completed Mid the new equipment is installed Mc Henry will be given one of the finest places ef the kind to be found any where. The interior of the place will be painted in white and the fixtures will be in harmony thereto. Since coming to McHenry Mr. Kertcher has made many friends, who, no doubt, will be pleased to learn that he is soon to. conduct a shop of his ova. Bakery Sale The ladies of St. Mary's cfcirCti will conduct a bakery sale at the vil lage hall here next Saturday, start ing at 10:00 a. m. St. Mary's con gregation prides itself in having some of the very best pastry cooks in the village and the lay-out next Satui day .should easily surpass anything of the kind ever offered at public sale in McHenry. Instead of doing your own baking next Saturday morning, just step over to the village hall and pick out just what you want for your Sunday dinner. The ladies promise an abundance of everything. Universalis! Church Services The sermcn subject next Sunday at the Universalist church will be "The Relation of a Free Church to Its Own Community." The sermon will be frank effort to answer the question why there should be a strong, active Universalist church in McHenry. The service is at 11:00 a. m., and everyone is most cordially invited. John Maurice Grimes, Minister.

The young men intend equipping the place so that they will be able to care for, aU automobile trouble*. Two McHenry Pvecincts Give Boyle A Good Lead, Bat This Is Overcome By Ring^ood Vote / One of&the closest and most exciting battles fought out in the town of McHenry was waged on Tuesday of this week,,when Wm. B. Tonyan de* feated John Boyle for the office of highway commissioner by a margin of eighteen votes. Altho a close race had been anticipated, not even the close friends of the candidates would ever have guessed that the final results would show such a vast difference as is seen by the Ringwood vote, where Mr. Boyle received but 48 votes out of 297 cast. The loser called at The Plaindealer office on Wednesday morning and appeared in his usual happy spirits in spite of his defeat. "It was all my own fault," he said when commenting upon the election. By this he meant that he fell down on the job of getting the local voters to the polls. Mr. Boyle figured that he could win out without, troubling the women to turn out and this is where he lost out. Had he gone after this vote as well as getting his workers to go after the men a trifle stronger surely would have won out. In spite of his defeat he has some consolation in the splendid endorsement given him by the voters of his own precinct and that of the third precinct, the polling place of which is in the Math. Engeln building on Water street. In his own precinct ha led his opponent by 168 votes, while the old town vote gave him an additional margin of twenty-four, or a total of 182 in the two precincts. Surprising as it may seem, the Johnsburg and Ringwood vote overcame this fby eighteen votes, Tonyan leading his opponent in his home precinct by an even 200 votes. The vote on commissionership as recorded in the three precincts follows: McHenry Village HaU.

AH Piaindealers are placed into the mails on Thursday afternoon of each week, thus the delay is not. a fanlt of ours, hut rather in the transit. Ever since the express strike there has been a congestion of mails never before experienced and everyone concerned is doing his utmost to relieve the situation, which we trust will be soon. We kindly ask our out-of-town subscribers to be just a bit patient with us as we believe that better «erviee f^ «M» 4m jm~ stituted. , ^ ANNUAL VILLAGE ELECTION WILL BE HOT FIGHT CANDID CONVERSATION CONCERNING COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION BEING A CONVERSATION BETWEEN PETER PEP AND BILLY BOOSTER OF THIS VILLAGE AS OVERHEARD BY SAMUEL J.

Burroughs, a special representative for the Fordson tractor, arrived in McHenry the first of the week and has already set to work with the local agent, John R. Knox, in pushing the sales of this wonderful machine and the various farm implements that are sold along with it. Mr. Burroughs, we are told, has had wide experience along this line of work and his coming to this locality will, no doubt, be of groat benefit to the farmers who are contemplating purchasing a tractor this year. Appointments may be made with him by calling the Star garage, 'phone 80, and ho will be pleased to talk matters over with those interested. Community Board Election An election to vote in two mem bers of the community school board, district No. 166, is to take place at the village hall next Saturday afternoon. "Hie two retiring members, Thos. A. Bolger and C. W. Harrison, are the only two candidates whope names will appear on the printed ballot and as everyone seems satisfied to have these two men returned to office it looks as if this election will prove a very tame affair. The polls will be open from IKK) JL m,"to 4:00 p. m. Will Elect One Trustee (hie school trustee to servo a full term, township No. 46, will be elected next Saturday, April 10. The polling places will be at Woodman hall, Ringwood, and the M. Engeln store on Water street in this village. Like our community school election, the polls will be open from 1:00 p. into 4:00 p. m. E. P. Flanders of Ringwood is the only candidate in the field up to the time of going to press. Whether or not he will be opposed remains to be seen. MOTHER VILLAGE TICKET r "(4 <t ,i 3 0 ^ ' ' . • '* ' ; ( f i £ f £ r * • : ; •'Si^ V' r X It " ** "-t ' *"' Public Card Party Fox River Valley camp, No. 3251, "Say, Bill, I just thought I'd run over and have a little talk with you this morning," said Peter Pep, as he come running into the other's office with his usual henry laugh and jolly good morning. Well, what you got on your mind," said Billy, as he shoved the paperfe en his desk to one side and sat back in his office chair. "Why you know last week you were talking about a Booster and Knocker club for McHenry--or some such organisation as that. Now I've been thinking about it ever since and I think the scheme is a good one--that is if it tan be worked. Now I'd like to know just who could be members and what would be the function of such an or ganisation." ' * "Well now," said Billy Booster, "of course I'm only one man out of a hundred or so in this village and I couldn't t ay just who should or ghould not be admitted to such a club. But it seems to me that if say twenty-five business men, doctors, school men, ministers, lawyers, farmers in general, those who have the best interests of the community at heart, if these could get together they could form a temporary organization that would formulate its basis for membership, and stake out its policy as an organisation." "Well, it doesnt seem as though that would be very hard, Bill, but what would they do after they wer«< organized?" Well, Pete, there would be enough to keep us all busy for awhile I guess. Just look here for instance. Here's letter I received a couple of days ago from a good friend in Chicago. He says: 'My Dear Mr. Booster--The time has coifie when I shall have to move my business. The labor conditions here in Chicago are so unsettled that I cannot hope to keep my men. They can't get houses fit to live in unless they pay about three rents and they're constantly leaving me. They have been on a strike now for thirty days --we haven't turned a wheel. Of course, Bill, I can't go on like this and I must move to a smaller town, where rents are cheaper and then I can hold my men. 'Now I'm writing you because when 1 was out to see you last winter you were telling me of the beauties of McHenry. You're right on the beautiful Fox river, good railroads, rich farming district, beautiful country. Now just what are the opportunities of locating a small plant there that will employ a hundred men ? Can you put me in touch with somebody that will help me to locate?' "Do you hear that, Pete? What could a Booster and Knocker club do for McHenry? Why, I should say what couldn't they do? I had to write bade to my friend that I was sorry but we are already crowded in our little village*and there was nobody to whom I could refer him. But as for me, Peter, I should like to have twenty men organized that could meet such a man and help him to loeate here. Now is the time for McHenry to catch its stride and move forward." "I'm quite agreed," said Pete, "and count on me for such a mo*®,"1 "Good. So long, Fete," K,. "So long, Bill." Auto Licenses Owing to delay in the shipment of automobile license plates from the fac tory in Chicago, as a result of the switchmen's strike, it will be necessary to delay filling applications received in the office of the secretary of state at Springfield. In order that this un Two Tickets Now In Field--Old Board Members Decide to Make Run For Re-election As predicted by The Plaindealer a few weeks- ago, the village of McHenry is to see another one of those rousing elections for which we have been noted. This becamt an established fact late last evening, when a second ticket, bearing the names of the three retiring members of the village board, was filed with our village clerk. This is headed as the village ticket and bears the natfjos of Peter Doherty, John R. Knox and Albert Krause as trustees add Wm. G. Schreiner as village clerk. The other ticket, as mentioned in these columns last week, was filed under the head of people's ticket and contains the names of Michael Freund, Joseph Justen Aand Nick F. Freund. The date for the holding of the annual spring election is set for Tuesday, April 20, one week from next Tuesday, and from now until that day the candidates will be out soliciting the support of the legal voters of our municipality. That there will be plenty of activity and that the coming election is bound to create the usual interest displayed in former contests is a certainty and, while it is just a trifle early to make predictions of anysort, some of those who have been closely affiliated with local politics during the past several 'years are of the opinion that the race will be one of the closest ever fought out in McHenry. Each of the candidates his own following of friends whom he can positively bank on for support and thus it leaves only the scattered vote with which to reckon and this is sure to follow as each of the six men seeking aldermanic honors is out to canvass the vote of the village as it has never been canvassed before. The Plaindealer will take the same stand this year as it has in the past We are not taking sides and will make no recommendations. All matters appertaining to the coming election that may be sent to this office for publication will be handled as purely advertising matter and will be so marked. The only suggestion which we have to offer this week is that all candidates and their followers make it a clean fight from beginning to end and then leave it to the voters to decide who will occupy the chairs of our local council during the next term to come. Easter Services a Marked Success In spite of the gross handicaps of a grouchy weather man, who defeated the plans of many aspiring maidens who had in mind to appear in new gowns and bonnets, the Methodist church was nearly filled with people who enjoye^ the beautiful Easter services last Sunday morning. The music by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hauswirth, the juvenile choir and the duet by Miss Lelah Claxton and Mrs. S. J. Harrison, as well as the cantata in the evening, were all well rendered and enjoyed by the audience. The inspiring sermon by the Rev. A. T. Horn of Evanston sent us all away feeling the vitality of a risen and living Lord. There were a number accessions to the membership of the church and we feel certain that a new and large field of service is open for the Methodist church in this new, great day of $h* world. TWO FULL TICKETS FILED Fir Coaling School Election of Dk- • -y trict No. 15 *' " "• fcwitics have sur#^ taken cm new life this year. As with our village affairs, the old school district, No. 15, will also witness a lively battle, as two full tickets have been filed for the election to be held one week from next Saturday, April 17. The first of the two tickets was filed with the clerk of the district on Tuesday of this week and is headed by M. J. Walsh for president and Dr. F. J. Aicher and Michael Conway as trustees. The second ticket was filed last evening with Simon Stoffel tile head and Chas. L. Page and Dr. A. I. Froehlich as trustees. This means that there will be plenty of activity on Aprii 17 and already a record vote is predicted. The three men whose terms on this body expire this spring are James B. Perry, who has served the distrjet honorably and well for many terms past; Stephen H. Freund and Chas. L. Page. Mr. Perry has declined to become* a candidate for re-election as has Mr. Freund. Mr. Page is the only one of the three who has expressed a willingness to again make the race. That there will bo at least two new members when the new board organizes is now assured, as there are three to be elected. While the election will very likely terminate into a lively battle, it will be fought out without the bitterness that has marked previous elections of the kind and the outcome will be watched with interest by the voters residing in the district.

It is the company's plan to employ good, strong women rubbers. Their work will be to put the last finishing touches on the cabinet after it has left the hands of the varnisher. At this* stage the cabinets go thru a process of rubbing with water and pumice stone, which gives^ it that smooth finish. In a number of factories women are already employed at ttys work with great success and it can be done in McHenry, provided we have women who would be willing to do factory work. It is the intention of the management of the factory to start the women in pairs and should there be any women in or around McHenry who are interested we are sure Mr. Hunter will be pleased t^have them call and will explain !ne work in further detail. Ben Stilling Returns Ben Stilling returned home last Sunday from his trip to Waycross, Ga. He reports that he was very much pleased with the country surrounding Waycross and believes it to be ideal for winter resorting. On his home trip he could not help^but notice the change in temperature Leaving the southern clime with the thermometer registering about eighty degrees in the shade, he found himself in the midst of a January blizzard on his arrival at Crystal Lake. Mr. Stilling advises us that there are wonderful opportunities for investment down in that country. Land is still very reasonable in price and. of good quality. However, it will take the northern farmer to develop the country so that real benefits may be derived from its rich soil. Mrs. Stilling, who accompanied her husband to the south, has decided to remain another two weeks and is now at Jacksonville, Fia. * .V • '• • ' iK ' • - 't Last Week to Pay Ta#* - This is the last week in' which taxes for the town of McHenry can be paid at the West McHenry State bank.
