The machine is manufactured at Minneapolis, Minn., and has a scraper attachment to meet the requirements for which it was purchased. It is especially adapted for heavy work of tearing, up hard surface ratids preparatory to re-surfacing. The machine, when placed on our streets, will be driven by a tractor. The first process will be to loosen up the hard surface with the scarifier, followed in order with the scraper and heavy cement roller, the latter already owned by the village. Altho - our present roller isn't the proper instrument now used for such purposes, it is believed that it will do the work, and later on a new roller, considerably heavier and of steel construction, will undoubtedly be bought. The outfit, which weighs 7,800 pounds, is the very latest design now manufactured and in its purchase the board feels that a long felt want has been filled. With the automobile traffic becoming heavier each year the question of keeping dirt roads in condition .has been one difficult to solve. McHenry has tried out every scheme imaginable to keep our roads in a passable condition, but the time has come when it is next to impossible to keep them in any sort of shape without the proper kind of road building machinery and this fact has finally induced our village officials to prepare and keep our streets in condition by the purchase of the above equipment. Wherever the scarifier is now in use it is giving the very best of satisfaction and the new acquisition to our municipal property should^ and will be appreciated by our "people, we are sure. Mayor Olson informs us that a man will be here from the factory to explain the machine's workings and assist local workmen with a demonstration, which will take place in the course of the next few days. Will Have Herd Tested Walter J. Walsh is among the farmers of this locality who wfll have his dairy herd tested for tubercaloeis. This work is now being carried on in McHenry county under government supervision, testers appearing upon application. A number of herds in the vicinity of Hebron have already beeen tested with very satisfactory results. The purpose of the testing is to ascertain the presence of tuberculosis in dairy cows and to prepare herds to meet the requirements of the state and federal governments, which prohibit interstate shipments unless the test has been submitted to and two clearings certified to by federal testers. No doubt the practice will become quite general among owners of blooded dairies of the county|. || •• ( Married at Woodstock^'-'- Jacob Franzen of this, village and Hiss Jeann^tte Schnuk of Banet, Mich, were united in tearriaffe by Justice of the Peace Emil Arnold at Woodstock on fyofiday of last week. They have already gone to housekeeping in the P. J. Schoewer house on John street The groom is a barber by trade and is employed in the shop of his brother in the Brefeld building on the West Side. McHenry friends of the couple extend congratulations. - Hosteaa to Attar and Beaarjr Society The members of the Altar and Rosary society of St Patrick's Catholic church were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. H. J. Schaffer on Tuesday afternoon of this week. Games, music and a few old fashioned dances were enjoyed for a few hoars, after which the hostess, in her graceful manner, served her guests with dainty refreshments. The occasion proved an unusually enjoyable one for all those present^. Degree Work May 2 K #| The first degree of the ora€r will be conferred upon a large class of candidates by the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, at their hall in this village on Sunday afternoon, May g. The wprk will begin promptly at 1 ;30 and a large delegation of Knights is expected fcp be present. The second and third degrees will follow at the same hall on Sunday, May .28. Opening Danee at Nell'l The opening dance at Nell's Columbia p^rk pavilion will take place on Wednesday evening, May 12. Mack's four piece orchestra of Woodstock will furnish the music. Patrons of this popular dancing resort will be pleased with the announcement of the opening date and, no doubt, the event will witness a big crowd. Dance tickets, $1.10 per coupie, including war tax. Ladiee free, war tax 10 cents. ON SEWERAGE IMPWYXMBNT IS SLOW IN COMING Delay May Caaae Local Beard to Da Work AH Over Againr-Wouki Mean Big Finaacial Lass How soon do we get our sewer? This is a question that has been asked many tiijtyes since the election last week Tuesday and up t6 this time there doesnt seem to be anyone who is willing to answer same. As near as The Plaindealer scribe Ss able to ascertain the delay in getting things in shape for the advertising of bids has been caused thru the failure of Mr. Arnold of Woodstock to spread the assessments. Mayor Olson informs us that the Woodstock man had told the local board of improvements at the hearing held here last fall that his part of the work would take up about six weeks and as five months have elapsed since this hearing the board is and has been anxious for the completion of Mr. Arnold's work so that the court process could be gone thru, which would place the local body in a position to advertise for bids. Since this work has evidently not been completed at this time, the question arises as to whether or not the estimates as furnished the board by the engineer last fall would still hold good at this late hour. To ascertain this our genial mayor has written the engineer, asking him to come to McHenry for the purpose of advising the board on the matter and this the engineer has consented to do and has promised to come to this village today (Thursday). Considerable money has already been expended on preliminary work for the proposed 'improvement and therefore it is the desire of those in office to get action before it is too late. Should the engineer find that the estimate as given the local body last fall is too low for present day prices of material and labor, the work, with the exception of the survey, would necessarily have to be gone over again, entailing an expense that would have been unnecessary had the delay not occurred. It is the hope of the mayor as wftll as the local board of improvements that the figures submitted last fall still hold good at this time and thus save the village quite a large item of expense. The estimate as furnished at last fall's hearing was something like $8^,000 with the ten per cent leave-way. This means that the improvement pould not cost the taxpayers over $96,000. It was the board's intention to have all the preliminary work completed kwg before this. In fact, actual work of construction, it was hoped, would now be under way. As near as our mayor is able to learn thiwe months will be required to construct a sewer system same as proposed for our village and even nop, under favorable conditions, the imjtyrc^tfltent could be installed and in b«|o£i cold weather sets in. The board, we are informed, will do everything within its means and power to hustle the good work along aid if the improvement does not go in this year it ia -almost certain that sf^e wplt be made next spring. Property owners, who have extended tha board their encouragement, will therefore have just a little patience and their dreams will surely come tra% $t the earliest possible moment. |)fhat About BesebaH WW McHenry hay* a bpsob*11 in the fiejd this summer?

AND BILLY MMWTUt OF TCDS VILLAGE AS etBMOtAKD BY SAMUEI. J HARRISON. B. S. • •t- " What's this I "hear about the Chicago Tribune v running a conversation between a McHenry farmer and his son?" said Pete, as his friend left off talking about "t^e world's greatest newspaper." "Why, yes, they had a long article in a day or so ago. Let me read it to you." Saying this he took the dipping out of his pocket and began to read: "So. you want to leave the farm, eh?" The farmer looked up at his son. "Yes, air. I think I can do better up there. There ,are more opportunities in the cityk Every day yoa read how much they're making." The father smiled grimly. "Yes, and you read how other people are getting it away from 'em as fast as they make it. fPears to me 1 hear more complaints about high prices than rejoicing a^>out high wages. Doif't overlook the fact, son, that your dollar in the city tdon't go very far these days, Out here you can hang on to it." j The boy shifted; ufteaaily, tat his expression became* set in ita dogged resolutibn. < "Most of the boys have left the farms and are now in the cities," he said. "Of the bupch that went to Franca from this section I'm the only one who hasn't." ' His face lighted up. 5 "I had a letter* 'today from Tom Austin. He says there's no trouble at all getting work. ^ Ha says he could have picked - from a dozen different jobs." • "Has he settled d^wn to ana of 'em yet?" asked the falih«r. ' , "No, not yet. He's looking around for just the right oae--one he's interested ih." The father smiled again, this time with a touch of bitterness. "I reckon there are a lot of young fellows in that boat Times have changed. Now'days a boy won't take a job unless it's congenial and then don't care whether he holds it, because he's always sure of getti|g. another ^»pa. There's no Incentive to working hard any more." "But I intend to work hard, father. I'm not going up there just to have a good time." "Well, I hope not, son." The father cleared his throat to hide the tremor in h»s voice. "WMf df on going?" Ri^ht away, father, just aa soon as you can get some one to take my place," There was a long pause. "Well," said the older w*, you've decided to go I s'pose there's nothing more to be said. You're over 21. Of course we don't like to have you go. You know how we're fixed out here in the matter of help. All the young fellows seem craay to get up to the city. There's lots more to see and do up there--" "It iaii't that, father," interrupted the son. "It's because there arevmore opportunities, especially now when such big wages are being paid and when there's such a demand for men." "Following that line of argument, everybody on the fartps will hike off to the city. And you know where that will lead us. You felks in the city will have no food. Out here we'll manage our three meals a day, while the city will be yelling itself hoarse for something to eat at any price." The thought gave hipi keen enjoyment. Then he becaine serious again. "Have you tqld ypur mother yet?" "Just now, the kitchen- She's gone upstairs," What did sajr?" WILL AMTHtTY DAMES BORDEN PLANT HERE TO GET MORE MILK Farmers Who Formerly Delivered to Grayslake to Come to McHenry-- Will Mean Much to Village Another v$i news when from ry important piece of was made public this week the announcement came that thirty to thirty-five of the dairies which formerly went to the Grayslake condensery will be taken on at the local plant of the Borden company next Saturday morning, May 1. This milk all comes from the eastern part of McHenry and western part of Lake counties and ai this time and since the closing of the Grayslake plant it is being hauled to Round Lake and from there shipped to Chicago. v Arrangements for taking this vast quantity of milk was completed by the Borden company a short time ago and as a result of the action taken same will be split between their factories here and Wauconda. All of the former patrons of the Grayslake factory residing between this village and Volo will, on and after next Saturday, haul their milk to McHenry, while a number of others residing east of this village will do likewise. The bringing of from thirty to thirty- five new dairymen to this village each morning of the week will mean a great deal to the local plant as well as to our business men in general. To the factory here it will mean an increase of about one-third over its present patrons. At this tim<f the products of 106 dairies, making a total of about 36,000 pounds of milk, are being received at the local plantand with the new patrons there should be at least 136 patrons with a total of about 45,000 pounds. The factory, we are told, is all equipped and ready to take on the new patrons and their coming next Saturday morning will make little or no difference as to the handling of same. Naturally, more help will be needed and will be on hand to meet the increase of milk delivered to the plant. Most of the new business rightfully belongs to McHenry and should have been coming this way for years past, but as a result of the milk wars waged prior to the organization of the Milk Producers' association these dairies left the McHenry plant and contracted their milk to the Wisconsin company, which operated the Grayftlake plant up until this spring, when the big factory at that point was sold to the Nestle Food company, and which company refused the reckon ilk of the dairymen on March 10. Altho the reports cannot be verified at this time, it has been rumored that the Nestle people at Grayslake have now gjven up all hope of ever regaining the milk of the patrons who formerly delivered to their plant and as a natural consequence, so it is stated, the factory there is being dismantled. Most of the working force was laid off some two or more weeks ago, only enough men being retained to care for the property. May Price $2.70 The price of tnilk for the month of May as agreed to between the officials of the marketing company and the buyers is $2.70 per hundred pounds. This is five cents per hundred lower than the prices as paid during March and April. r ' NO. 46 TO INCREASE MEMBERSHIP Chapil HiM Country Club Per Move Local Members "O, you know what-she'd sty." ^ "Well, son, it's your fwerjrt. You're the doctor. If you are determined to go"--here hie voice trembled and fee wiped toia glasses vigorously. "I had kind o' figured on your staying here and helping me. I think you're making a mistake. In the long run I think you'd do better here than in the city. But that's up to you." He looked out acrost the wide acres of rich farm land. The distant song of the meadow lark just reached his ears. His face saddened. "I guess there's nothing more for me to say. How about Emily? Have you broken it to'her?" *' It was the boy's turn t# show emotion.

Claae Play Tomorrow Night The junior class of the McHenry high school will present "The Time of His Life" at the £n\pire theatre in this village tomorrow (Friday) evening. Th<> play has been rehearsed under the painstaking supervision of Mjss Pryor, a member of the high school faculty, and promises to surpass anything ever offered by the pupils of our institution of learning. A very satisfactory advance sale of .seats has already been made and a icrowded house U sure to greet the players on thair appearance tomorrow night ^ McHenry Represented at Dinltier The Rev. M. J. McEvoy was an invited guest at the dinner given by Messrs. Edward Hines, F. J. Lewis, Joseph P. Griffin and D. F. Kelly in honor of President De Vetera of the Irish Republic on Monday evening, April 26, in the gold room °f the Congress feo,tel> Chicago. The invitation was a recognition of the splendid success of the bond drive for the Irish Republic in McHenry, which amounted to $1310.00. Entertained at five Hundred Mrs. P. H.

There will be a program and everybody is cordially invited. Alta E. Wentwortfe, Teacher. As a special inducement *to McHenry people as well as reeorters whose cottages are located along the course of our beautiful Fox, the Chapil Hill Country club at Howell's Villas has engaged the services of Ernest Gronow, formerly of the Riverside Golf club of Chicago, whose duties will be to look after and keep the local course in condition thruout the season of 1920. Mr. Gronow is not only an expert ground keej>er, but a golf -enthusiast as well, and besides keeping the grounds in a No. 1 shape he will also find time to give instructions tG those who are not familiar with the game and wish to become members of the club. The officials of the club, ever since its organization, have been anxious for a larger membership and while many schemes were tried out none seemed to bring about the results desired when the happy thought struck them that an expert instructor might assist tftem in their endeavor to in crease the membership, and it was principally for this one reason that the services of Mr. Gronow were engaged, In an interview with the Howell brothers the first of the week a Plain dealer reporter was told that the prospects for the coming season were particularly auspicious for the club and that many social features are being planned for the members which have not heretofore been enjoyed These features, they said, would be made possible thru the erection of the club house, the contract for which has already been let Of course the club house idea was the original idea of the "Gump" club, which will also hold forth at the Villas this season, and, while the members of this newly formed organization are pushing and financing the club house, its use will also be given the members of the Chapil Hill organization. Altho there are now a few McHen ryites and river resorters enrolled in the club, the officials believe that this number can easily be doubled and therefore extend a hearty invitation to golf enthusiasts of this village and the river to become one of them. With an expert instructor on the grounds at all times, those who have heretofore hesitated about joining the club on account of their unfamiliarity with the game can now go out take a few private lessons and by the time the season is at its height will be able to go out and play a game with any amateur. If interested you are kindly asked to consult W. L. Howell, who may be found at his home at Howell's Villas or at his battery establishmeit on Pearl street in this village. K-BI6ME 0.G.TKAMMY AS SUPERINTENDENT Of QUR SCHOOLS Mian Pryer Will Alea Remain--Grade Teachers Are Offered CoMtraeta, Which Call For Increase In Pay The two school boards met in joint session at the village hall on Tuesday evening of this week and as » consequence considerable• work waa ' effected. The new board, which has jurisdiction over the newly organized community high school district met and organized last week with C. W. Harrison as president and Jos. W. Freond, secretary. This board, at the meeting last evening, engaged the services of O. G. Treadway, who during the coming" year will act in the capacity of superintendent over both the high and grade schools. Miss Blanche Pryor, another member of the high school faculty, has also been re-engaged. These are the only two who have thus far been engaged frfr the high school, altho we are told that indications at this time point favorably for the engagement of the entire faculty before the close of another week. The old board has also offered contracts to all of the present grade teachers, calling for increases in their various salaries, and, while none of the contracts have been returned,' it looks at this time as if there will be few changes among these during the year to come. Among other business transacted was the lengthening of the school year, which hereafter will consume forty weeks. y-iXW-' Preeeafe Sacred Cm Geo. J. Sayer, whose t>e&utifut s summer mansion is located at Pistakee Bay, and who owns several farms in that immediate vicinity, has presented J. Ogden Armour with a sacred cow. The animal arrived at the letter's "farm near Lake Forest J last week. In speaking of the animal's arrival at Lake Forest the Waukegan Daily Sun comments as fellows: "The animal has not yet been named, but Louis Russell, an employe of the Armour estate, who escorted it from the express office to the farm, suggests "Fore-and-Aft" as appropriate, that being the way J ! " he was received when he offered some of Mellody farm's best food to it Russell says he first approached the stranger from the rear with an armful of manna and received a bombardment of heels. He then tried the di^ rect approach and was butted out af the corral." i Will Build Garage / Nick Nett, who until last year was engaged in the garage and blacksmithing business at Ringwood, has purchased a site at Spring Grove and work has already started on a new brick garage building to be operated by him In that village on its completion. The building will be 46x60 feet. Mr. Nett has had considerable experience along this line, is an expert workman and believes that Spring Grove offers an excellent field. The foundation for the new building is already completed and from now work on the structure will be rushed to completion, as Mr. Nett is very anxious to get started before the real upsning of the touring season, The Right to Happlasaa* Do yqu remember wonderful Dorothy Phillips in "The Heart of Humanity," the production that swept over America like a wild fire? Remem- J>er how it impressed you--thrilled you--made you think? Then prepare to view another even greater picture, bigger than any picture you've seen this year--"The Right to Happiness"--the greatest love story ever told, in which you will see the great Miss Phillips in an amazing dual role, one you'll never forget. If you see no other production this year--see this one. It's amazing, wonderful, beautiful, inspiring. Nothing ever filmed like it- At the Empire theatre Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8, ^ Engaged Aa Cftretakecf Anton Schneider, Sr., has been engaged as caretaker of the grounds and lawns at Howell's Villas and has already started work. It is the plan of Howell Bros., owners of the beautiful resort as well as the various renters, to make the place more attractive than ever this season, hence the hiring of Mr. Schneider. All of the cottages at this place have now been rented for the season. Dairymen Will Advert!** At a recent meeting of the fttlnois Agriculture association held m Chicago, officers and members of that body decided to carry on an advertising campaign, the purpose of which is for the making of and marketing of farm products, especially milk.

Freund building on the West Side, will cloee the establishment tomorrow. He w$l go from here to Peoria, 111., bat has not made up his mind just what he will do in the future. Mr. Brown, thru his affable ihanners, has made many friends since coming to McHenry, who will be sorry to hear of his decision to leave. He informs us that he has had one or two quite attractive business propositions made recently, but thus far has not what he will do. 5 New Barber Shop Opened I A new barber shop was opened! j|t the Pries building by Lee Kertscher ap Monday morning of this week. Tfcp interior of the shop is painted a white, while the furniture and chairs are of the very latest known to the tonsori^l art.

He and his wife will occupy the living rooms in the rear of the shop and are now moving thereto frorit the Mra. Susan Wegener house on Maple Ave. Revenue Men Still Here Th* two revenue men, sent to Henry from Chicago headquarter* some time ago, are still in McHenry, evidencing that there has been plenty of work in their line. In response to notification that had previously been sent them, an unusually large number of farm owners thruout the locality have appeared before the agents and* so far as we are able to learn, sati#-, factory adjustments of their income tax has been effected.
