The lone bidder's price was 96.00 per day for one man and team and $10.00 per day for two men and team. v Richmond is another town of this ^locality which is experiencing a very acute shortage of desirable houses. That village has lost several families daring the past few weeks on account of being unable to furnish desirable • Itfuses. The work of ridding Crystal lake of fit carp and other undesirable inhabitants of the water is again under way. The seiners, under state supervision, started work there last week and the job will, it is said, take up the greater part of a month." Some good hauls have already been made. In last week's issue of the Wauconda Leader appeared a final appeal for $40,000, which is so sadly needed by the railroad there. The president of tfcpe railway concern has made it clear tint this will be his last effort to raise tile needed money and if it is not obtained this week the road will be shut down. , Nineteen head of pure bred Hol- Cs were recently sold by the Mc- •y County Holstein Breeders' association thru the Me Henry County Soil Improvement association.

This, with the wagons recently acquired by Bowmans from the Kee and Chapell, gives Bowmans nearly 1700 milk wagons in Chicago and makes it by far the largest retail milk company in America. The condensed milk interests of the Borden company are supposed to have been acquired by the Nestle Food LOWER LEUSflfFKntY Excelknt fari Feed Jfcgw H»de In Villaa» :g - " F. A. Donley & Son have ventured into a new department and within the course of the next few days they hope to be manufacturing various kinds of live stock feed with machinery that has recently been installed in their mill on Waukegin street. The firm has been dealing in feeds of various kinds ever since engaging in .business here, but it was not until last fall that the thought struck Mr. Cooley that this feed could be manufactured right here at home just as cheaply if not cheaper than to buy it made up. Ever since that time he and his son have been planning and figuring just hftw this could best be done and the outcome of the whole matter is that McHenry will soon have one of the most modern as well as complete feed manufacturing plants to be found anywhere outside of the larger cities. The machinery, with the exception of a corn cracker and a 10 h. p. electric motor, is now all installed and the last two named pieces are looked for any time. The installation of the corn cracker and motor will be only a matter of a few hours after their arrival in McHenry, when the new feed producers will be ready for operation. Mr. Cooley hopes that this will be sometime within the course of the next week. The firm is already making a dairy food, the first having been sold from the plant last Friday. This is mixed and made up by hand and reports from farmers who have given the feed a trial are to the effect that it is giving most excellent results. What is true of this dairy feed will will also be found true of the various other feeds that are to be manufactured by the McHenry concern, which is the first in McHenry county to install, an equipment of the sort. The new equipment, we are told, is exactly of the same make and design as used by all of the large concerns thruout the country now making feeds. The nine blenders are located down in the basement of the building and by their use five or six different kinds of feed for cows, horses, hogs, calves and chickens can be manufactured. The various raw materials used in making the feed find their way to the various blenders thru chutes leading from the second floor of the building. After they have gone. thru the blender the feed is carried to the upper floor by elevators end thence onto conveyers into the various bins, from which it is bagged. The system is perfect and when once the various mixers are set for the manufacture of a certain feed there can be no mistake as to its analysis. Each mixer is set so as to feed the re-; quired per cent of the raw material contained therein. In this manner the various elements are thoroly mixed and come out as a food that is giving very good satisfaction. A separate state license is required for each and every kind of feed turned out. Mr. Cooley & Son have already secured a license for the manufacture renzo, ^ of their dairy feed and will take out ®r 8 rL additional licenses just as soon as Bow es' ' their machinery is ready for operation. It will probably be of interest to our readers to learn something more of this establishment and in this connection we are pleased to say that we are informed that 12,000 sacks of dairy feed were sold by this firm within the course of six months time. Each of the sacks contained 100 pounds of feed. The capacity of the new equipment is eight tons per hour and there are now stored in the big warehouse twelve carloads of raw material ready to be manufactured into feed for live stock. Quite a number of the farmers thruout this entire locality are now buying their feed at this place and just as soon as others come to realize the real value of the local product the business of the firm is sure to increase, and is destined to grow into a manufacturing plant of no small proportions. The firm invites the farmers and dairymen to call and look over the new equipment aad ®ee just how the feed is manufactured. There will always be someone on hand to give information and explain the merits of the articles manufactured. BiRAJM JOHNSON ALSO AFAVOR- / % ITE HERE However, Many Votes Intaadti For the Calif ornian Fail to Oemt en Account of Deficiencies Governor Frank O. Lowden of Ifli nois easily carried the three McHenry precincts at an election held on Tues day of this week for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the national nominating conventions and precinct committeemen and for the pyrpose of securing an expression of the sentiment and will of the party voters with respect to the candidates for nomination for the office of president of the United States. The election also brought to light the fact that there are quite a number of Johnson supporters in the township. At the village hall there were twenty or more votes cast for the California senator; in the old town district nineteen and one at Ringwood. Most of the Johnson votes were thrown out at the village hall on account of deficiency* In this precinct Johnson stickers were used, while in other instances the voter forgot to annex the square and cross after writing in hip name. In spite of the illegality of the voters,- however, it evidences Mr. Johnson's local strength and it looks very much at this time as if his candidacy will be taken more seriously henceforth. Messrs. Wire and Lambert were the leading lights in the race for delegates to the Republican national convention, while Frank H. Wattles, Jos. C. Holly and James C. Ladd were reelected as Republican committeemen in their respective precincts.

She will also handle candies and cigars and do a limited amount of home baking. She solicits the patronage of McHenry people as well as the traveling public and summer resortSBS. Fanners Are Busy Altho the weather has been anything but favorable, many of the farmers thruout the locality are engaged in plowing and seeding. ISvery favorable day sees scores of soil tillers thus engaged and everyone is naturally out with the hope that the season's crop will equal that of two Jff|rs ago. •.sT";' "Improve the community--that's the motto that I take Peter," said Billy Booster during the course of the conversation. "Show me a measure that's for the benefit of the community and I'm for it." "Well," said Peter Pep, "there's a lot'of talk these days about 'good roads' and a new sewer system. What do you think of that. Billy? You're right next to these things here now--let me have your views." "Oh, good roads, ay--sure I'd rather have good roads than the kind that are everlastingly trying to see which is the harder, my head or the auto top. I'd rather ride on concrete roads if I could have my way about it Pete." "Well, here's what I had in mihd, Billy. I was talking with a good f riend of mine the other day--he's sort of a knocker--the boys called him General Nuisance when he was in the army--and he said: 'Oh, yes, it's well and good to talk about good roads, hut what about taxes? Who's going to pay for those roads anyway? You can't build fifty-thousand-dollara- mile-roads with just talk.' Now just what are you going to say to a man like that, Billy?" 'Well, I think I'd say something like this: My dear General Nuisance, don't you see that money spent on roads or any other thing for public improvement is not 'money spent,' but 'money invested.' We'll say now that McHenry is going to spend $3500 this year for good roads. Do you imagine that it is so much out of pockets Not at all. Every cent invested in the roads of a community adds so much to the value of the property of that community. So if your taxes are increased $40.00 for the good roads of McHenry don't think that somebody is holding you up for that amount-- they're just giving you an opportunity to increase the value of your house and lot" "And while we're talking along this line," Billy continued, "I might say that the same thing is true with any public improvement. If McHenry spends a few thousand dollars on its sewerage system it is not that much poorer, but it is that much richer, for it has put so much money in the bank subject to draft when the property is sold at any future time." "Well, that's pretty good sense, Billy. I guess when allv our friends get that notion of things it won't be hard to put across a good roads bill, or install a sewer system for the village. But I'll have to run along now, Billy. I'll see you next week." All right. So long, Pete." So long, Billy." TO lURUFACTM TABUS LOCAL FACTORY HEAD SIGNS BIG CONTRACT New Departnwnt to Be Iiwtituted at ' Hunter Manufacturing Plant Here About August 1 "Yankee Doodle In Berlin Altho it is an uproariously funny comedy, it is said that one of the most accurate representations of the Hohenzollern family ever shown on the screen is in Mack Sennett's new five part super-comedy, "Yankee Doodle In Berlin." All of the uniforms are actual war worn soldier clothes that were worn in battle. Ford Sterling, who takes the part of the kaiser, spent several months on a study of the character of the all highest. He also studied thousands of photographs. The result is a make-up so graphic that it would almost fool Mrs. Hohenzollern herself. Similar pains were taken by Mai St. Clair, who takes the part of the crown prince, and Bert Roach, as General Von Hindenburg, and Baldy Belmont as Von Tirpitz. At the Empire theatre on Tuesday evening of next week, April 20. Weinschenker's Motor Express Fred Weinschenker has met with sufficient encouragement and will next Monday morning inaugurate a motor express business between this village and Chicago. It is his intention to make trips to and from that city on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of each week. His pick-up station in Chicago will be located at 136 West South Water street and those having parcels to be delivered to Chicago or having goods shipped from that city will do well to consult Mr. Weinschenker between now and the opening day of the service. McHenry business men as well as farmers, to whom he will cater, will, no doubt, appreciate the local man's efforts in giving them transportation facilities that will be more reliable than the service We have been getting of late. Public Card Party Fox River Valley camp, No. 8261, R. N. A., will hold a public card party at Woodman hall, West McHenry, on Wednesday evening, April 21. The public is cordially invited 'to attend. Admission, including refreshments, 35 cents. Breaks Ground For New Addition The digging of the trenches for the cement foundation for the new addition to Unti's ice cream factory here was started the first of the week and it is expected that the carpenters will The announcement that the Everett Hunter Manufacturing company will add another new department to its rapidly growing factory near the river bridge will, no doubt, be received with a source of pleasure by McHenry business men and our people in general* The Plaindealer editor was informed by the president of the company some time ago thai he would have an important announcement to make soon and every since we have been anxiously awaiting the time when the story would be given out for publication and here it is: This (Thursday) afternoon in the office of the M. L. Nelson Furniture company in Chicago a five year contract was signed between the Chicago and McHenry concerns, which carries with it the manufacture and delivery of a million and a half dollars worth of library and living room tables of four different models. This means $1,000 worth of tobies a day for the McHenry plant from the first day of the contract until its expiration and it also assures steady employment at good pay for a large working force and' simultaneously prosperity to the entire community. On his return home from Chicago this evening Mr. Hunter expects to be accompanied by a designer sent here from a factory in Ohio, which is also manufacturing various lines of furniture for the Chicago concern. This gentleman will be at the McHenry plant during the greater part of the next few weeks, working on the designs and assisting in every way possible to get the big plant in readiness for the new department, which will be instituted during the coming summer, and must be in full operation no later than August 1. Samples of the four tables to i>e manufactured in McHenry must be ready in time for the big furniture show which takes place in Chicago some time in June. Thus it will be seen that preliminary work on the new venture must and will begin al most immediately in .order to have everything in shape on the day that the contract becomes effective. In planning on the new department we are told that a second floor will be added to the main factory building and this, with a floor space of 25,000 square feet, will be utilized exclusively for the manufacture of the tables This change will be made some time during the next two or three months, so as to have everything in perfect order for actual opening of the depart Bient. We can scarcely appreciate at this time what this means to our community, but time will bring us to a full realization of the great good and prosperity brought here by Mr. Hunter and his manufacturing company. The new department will be operated in conjunction with the company's already established boat and phonograph business and between the three departments McHenry should in time to come be given a factory of no small proportions, which is destined to some day be the real making of the eity of McHenry. On the writer's visit to the factory on Wednesday afternoon we found all hands in the boat building department just as busy as they could be While considerable new work was under way of construction, the preparing and fitting craft in storage for the summer season took the greater portion of the help from this department and from now until the opening of the summer resort season there will be plenty of work for the boat gang. Work in the phonograph department is also going along in a highly sat isfactory manner, altho the output has not come up to the expectations. The saws in the milling department were humming a merry tune, while the assembling and varnishing rooms Wtore in perfect harmony. Two young ladies started in the rubbing room this week and we are informed that their work has thus far proven very satisfactory and it now looks as if female help will be taken on right along. E. Zelomy, a phonograph dealer of New York city, visited the factory on Wednesday morning of this week and left an order for 300 cabinets, which will be ready for delivery within the course of the next few weeks. During his visit at the McHenry plant he toid Mr. Hunter that he had heard of the Everett machine in New York and was attracted to McHenry by its wonderful tone arm. The New York man's trade is almost exclusively in Cuba and South America and left McHenry a little disappointed in not being able to close a contract with Mr. Hunter for a monthly shipment of cabinets. This morning Mr. Hunter was to meet D. Replople of Oklahoma at the Atlantic hotel in Chicago for the purpose of closing a contract for the de- VILLAGB ELECTION TUESDAY Look Far Liveliest Battle Seen Hen In Yearn The forces are well organized and the big guns trained on what promises to'terminate into one of the liveliest village scrimmages in the history of our own little municipality next Tuesday, the day set aside for the holding of our annual village election. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, there are two tickets in the field and, taking into consideration that a thoro canvass of votes is now being made by the various candidates, it is only natural to expect a record vote. Just who will be the winners no one is able to say at this time. Not even the oldest campaigners are willing to do this and the final result will be anxiously awaited by our entire populace as well as many of the rural residents, who have already been heard to express themselves as keenly interested in the outcome. The three retiring members of the board, Peter Doherty, John R. Knox and Albert Krause, are out for reelection, while opposed to these men are Nick F. Freund, Joseph J us ten and Michael Freund. Wm. G. Schreiner, the present incumbent of the office of village clerk, is also out for re-election and is unopposed. Arrangements have been made, so we are told, to place an unusually large number of automobiles at the disposal of the voters and if anyone walks to the polls it will be thru their own choice and not the fault of the candidates and their respective workers. Considerable new blood has been brought into the village since our last big scrap of two years ago and just how this vote 'will go remains to he seen. While the new comers are not expressing themselves, their votes are sure to be solicited. While confidence has been expressed by some of the candidates, none feel certain of the outcome and The Plaindealer firmly believes that the results will not be determined until after all votes have been counted. That it will be a close battle is the general prediction of those who have followed local politics in the past and that none of the candidates wish to be counted out of the running until after the smoke of battle has cleared away is also very much in evidence everywhere in the village. The Plaindealer assumes the same attitude as in the past. We have no recommendations to make and are not playing any favorites. It's a ques tion that must and will be decided by the vote of the people and we are perfectly willing to abide by their de cision next Tuesday. Vvi , ,|| W.-'T; : . ' ' ' • ' 'riaffft SOM rETMMS flWUJI All NAMES MUST BE WRRTBlf *' ON BALLOT Sleeping Sickness Johnsburg has a case of sickness, the first of the kind to be reported in the locality and the first, perhaps, in McHenry county. The victim is the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Schmitt, who has now slept for two weeks. The lad recently underwent a siege of influenza and pneumonia, followed by his present affliction. Dr. Arnold Mueller, who is attending him, informs us that the patient has lately shown signs of improvement. He is aroused just long enough to take his medicine and nourishment and almost immediately drops back into sound slumber. The only way that he can be awakened is by a thoro shaking. The case, which is a most unusual one, is being watched with interest by the medical profession of the entire county. Purchased Home st Aunjra McHenry friends of the family will no doubt be interested to know that Chas. G. Frett has purchased a modern home at Aurora, where the family has resided during the past two years. This looks very much as if they have decided to make that city their permanent place of abode. Unanimously Re-elected E. P. Flinders was unanimously reelected trustee to serve a full term in township No. 46 at an election Held last Saturday afternoon. The* affair was entirely void of interest and as a result only a small vote was cast. Dance at Stubby Smith'a A social dance will be held at Stubby's hall, Johnsburg, on Wednesday evening, April 21. Smith's orchestra will furnish the music. Everyone is i^thol^"^! Eli^b^"ui^a.~"Bi. New Law Says Petitions Mast 1*' Filed st Least Twenty Days Prfar to Holding of Election Since our last issue it has beat brought to the attention of the clerk of school district No. 15 that both of the tickets filed by candidates seeking places on our board of education are invalid for the reason that a change has been made in the time of filing such documents from ten to twenty days prior to the election. In both cases the tickets were fifed after the twenty-day limit set by the law and for that reason the ballots must be printed entirely void of names. This means that every voter of the district who turns out to the polls next Saturday afternoon must write in the names of the men of his or her choice. A like situation has never before confronted the voters of this community and, just what effect it will have on the election remains to be seen. The candidates whose names were mentioned in The Plaindealer last week are still out for election »--i for the benefit of those who may have forgotten them we herewith reproduce the tickets as filed: FIRST TICKET For President of Board of Fiaiatlsn To serve one year. . M. J. WALSH ^ - For Two Member^'1* T: T(> serve for three years # Dr. F. J. AICHER MICHAEL CONWAY SECOND TICKET For President of Board of' To serve one year SIMON STOFFEfc For Two Members . "I| serve for three years . CHAS. L. PAGE BR. A. I. FROEHLICH While these are the men who hate filed their petitions it does not necessarily mean that all or any one of them need be the choice of the voters. Voters, as in all previous elections, are privileged to write in three names of men of their own individual choice, and if they decide that three of the six men who have publicly announced themselves as candidates are to their liking they will cast their ballot by writing in and placing a cross in the square opposite their respective names. It is very unfortunate, indeed, that a situation like this should occur, b«t we must all make the best of it this year. The process of voting will, naturally, be somewhat slower and will also make a great deal more work for the officials in charge as well as the candidates, who will, no doubt, make a canvass of the voters of the district. Those who do not thoroly understand the manner of voting need not hesitate about going to the polls, as the officials will be glad tc issiftSCt them before entering the booths to cast their ballots. The election, as usual, will take place atT the village hall and the hours will be from 1:00 p. m. until 4:00 p. m. A sample of the official ballot to ha used next Saturday appears else* where in this week's issue <* The Plaindealer. Agents For Moline Traetar Overton A Cowen, the hustling Waal Side garage owners, recently closed a contract for the agency for the Moline tractors and the implements that go with same. They report the arrival and sale of the first machine this week, which went to Cliff Sherman, whe resides west of town. Those who have seen the Moline declare it to he one of the best and most substantial on the market. Another one of the tractors as well as the implements will soon be seen on the display floor at the West Side garage and those'rate rested are invited to call. A dom onstration of the tractor sold to Mr. Sherman will also be made at a^gr, time desired. Entertains Five Hundred date . - Mrs. Peter B. Freund acted as haa> toss to the members of the West Side Five Hundred Card club at her home on Main street on Tuesday evening of this week. After several games of five hundred had been played honors were awarded to Mesdames Henry m cordially invited to attend. UsUal prices of admission will prevail. Whether or not the contract was signed we have not learned, but it is quite likely that Mr. Hunter will return home this evening with a fine order from that gentleman. Inquiries regarding the Everett machine are being received at the factory almost daily and now that the company has enough sets on hand for the manufacture of approximately 3,000 machines, it is only natural to assume that they will accept larger orders in tl>e future. All in all, it looks as if McHenry's opportunity to grow and flourish is now at hand and it is up to everyone of our citizens to tender Mr. Hunter !fbe Plaindealer for news. livery of per month and his company their moral support, licious refreshments were then served and this feature brought to an end an ^ evening of unusual enjoyment. 4|| Tracter Deing Rood Werk " A Cletrac tractor is this week being used on the work of improving a stretch of the Lily Lake road. Tb the tractor is hitched the big grader and by the use of the iron horse the work is expedited greatly.
