The village of Richmond will spend nearly $500 more in the conduct of that municipality this year than that of last. An excursion on Fox river from McHenry to Wilmot, Wis., is now being planned by a large number of Wauconda residents. Stock in the Sure-on Tire Saver company, which plans to operate a plant at Cary in the near future, is aow offered for sale. Lawrence Williams, for many years president of the Oliver Typewriter company at Woodstock, passed away at his late home at Lake Forest last Friday. The canning factory at, Grayslake is closed temporarily. All of the early crop of peas has now been packed and the late crop isn't quite ready for canning. On accoqnt of a shortage of cement, the work on the Waukegan road is progressing very slowly and it begins to look as if the present contract will not be finished this year. The total net receipts of the I Fourth of July celebration at Woodstock will be approximately $3,300. This goes into the treasury of the Woodstock post of the American Legion. Harry Sarbaugh, Pingree Grove farmer, took up his residence at the county jail at Woodstock last week Passing spurious checks is said to have brought him to this "hostelry. A 1,000 foot well is now under construction at the Borden milk plant at Marengo. When finished it is expected that the well will pump water at the rate of 300 gallons per minute Nearly 600 men of the third field artillery of Camp Grant recently passed four days in camp at the Northwestern Military academy, Lake Geneva. The outfit traveled in motor trucks. The road bed of the Chicago, Har vard-Lake Geneva electric line is to be reconstructed. New ties will be placed, the road bed resurveyed and the track is to be put in first-class condition. To make the horse races at the eoming McHenry county fair a success, $3,700 have been appropriated for the purpose. Heretofore the largest appropriation for this department has been $2,400. It is expected that the assessment for the proposed sewerage system at Crystal Lake will be confirmed this week. This means that the advertis ing for bids for said improvement will soon take place. The Kerber Packing company at Elgin last Saturday certified to the secretary of state at Springfield an increase in its capitalization from $60,000 to $650,000. The company is planning big improvements. Most of the country school teachers in Dundee township iiave been engaged for the coming year. The salaries to be paid range from $100 to $150 per month, where a few years ago from $40 to $50 per month was being paid St. Mary's rectory building committee has been named. The letter written by Rt. Rev. Bishop P. J. Muldoon reached Rev. EdW. Berthold the last of the week and same was handed to The Plaindealer for publication. The letter follows: Bishop's House, Rockford, 111. Rev. E. W. Berthold, Pastor: R«fV. and Dear Father--From the result of the parish ballot, I am pleased to select Joseph W. Freund, John S. Freund and Wm. Stoffel to act on the committee for the erection of the parish rectory. These three gentlemen with two of the trustees, viz., Nicholas Weingart and John Thennes, will form the entire committee and I trust that active steps will be taken to provide a suitable rectory for the parish. You will please notify these gentlemen of their appointment at once. If they wish to see me in regard to the work, I will be at home next Thursday- Yours truly, P. J. Muldoon, Bishop of Rockford. Rev. Berthold informs us that the committee, in all likelihood, will accept the bishop's invitation to meet with him and go over the plans and other matters appertaining to the rebuilding of the rectory. * TO EXTEM mm NADIS PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD HERE SOON i WALTER L. MAIN CIRCUS Attracts Large AseembJafe p$, Pittstm, P»J " The first unit of five buildings, each 250x1500 feet, to be erected at Waukegan by the H. W. Johns-Manville company, is now under way of construction. When ready for operation this one building will give employment to between 2,000 and 3,000 employes. Miss Irene McAuliff, who has been •a inmate of the McHenry county jail «t Woodstock for some time past, has been taken to Chicago, where she will appear before Federal Judge Landis. She is charged with robbing the Franklin Park postoffice, where she hftd been employed prior to her arrest. Certificates of incorporation of the Hebron Milling company at Hebron I*ere filed at Springfield last Saturday The company will deal in flour, feed •ad merchandise. The capital stock is $36,000. E. Douglass, W. F. Douglass, Edward Douglass, Charles Hawthorne, B. Berry -and E. Vanderburg afe the incorporators. On account of the fact that up to *is time no bids have been received by the board of education at Woodstock for the building of a new grade school, it now appears very likely that a part of the armory and the Charles Stratton residence in that city will be used for school purposes the eoming yfear or until such tune as a new Miilding can^be erected. _ A number of the dairymen in the *licality of Grayslake who are now jfliipping milk were hande a real surprise one morning last week when In- , Spec tor Blaisdell of the Chicago health hoard arrived in the village and immediately set out to inspect the milk delivered at the depot. As a result sit this inspection a number of farmers %ere told to return home with their Entire output, while others were fjbtiged to return home with half of flieir morning's delivery. The objec- Hon was that the milk had not Holds Regular Meeting ' * The Ladies' Aid society held its Tegular meeting on Thursday afternoon last at the pleasant country home of Mrs. Raymond Colby. The meeting was well attended and the work for the afternoon was making aprons which had been previously ^ ordered. The ladies make a specialty of aprons of all kinds and are always ready to fill orders for any number of them. After the work was finished dainty refreshments were served. The next meeting of the society will be orf Thursday afternoon, July 29, at the home of Mrs. G. Sattem. A cordial invitation is extended to members and friends to attend. Plans were also made for a number of ice cream socials to be given thru the summer, the first one to be held Saturday evening of this week on the lawn at the home of Mrs. Harvey Baron. The ladies hope to be successful with these socials, as they are trying to raise funds for repairs on the church and other improvements. The patronage of the public will be greatly appreciated and the ladies will do their best to help everyone*spend a pleasant evening. Too Much Speeding Residents along Main street are complaining about the speeding which has become a common practice with some of the McHenry owners of cars and unless these drivers use a little more common sense in the futuse an arrest or two is sure to follow. H*ere are also a few of our youngsters who insist upon running their cars thru the village streets with their cut-outs wide open. These, too, are hereby given a warning to see that these cut-outs are closed within the village limits in th# future. Then, too, there are a few who are running their machines without 1920 licenses. The Plaindealer has repeatedly warned auto owners to respect our village laws governing these matters and if the offenders are hauled in to court and given a stiff fine they have no one to blame bat themselves. Several Streets Mast Be Supplied With Water Mains ln Order to Get Benefit From Sewerage v In order to give every property owner in the village of McHenry an opportunity to enjoy the benefits to be derived from the installation of the proposed sewerage system for our municipality, an extension of our water mains on certain streets is an absolute necessity and it has therefore been decided by the members of the board of local improvements to give the property owners residing on streets or sections of streets now without water mains to express themselves on such an improvement at a public hearing to be held some time in the very near future. According to one of our pubKc spirited young men who is closely in touch with the local board, the proposed extension of our water mains takes in all of that section of the village west of the railroad tracks as well as extensions to the Green and Water street mains and possibly two or three other small stretches. A call for a public hearing on said proposed improvement is very likely to be issued within the course of the next two weeks as it is the hope and plan of the McHenry officials to have the improvement made at the same time the proposed sewerage system goes in. The Plaindealer has also been informed that the work of spreading the assessments for the sewerage system is rapidly nearing completion and figures should be available, if not by next week, then surely the following week, when same will be made public thru the columns of The Plaindealer. Voters and property owners of the village, who for so many years have worked for the great public improvement, have been anxiously awaiting the time when such figures will be made public and the news that their dreams are soon to be realized should be encouraging, indeed. Just as soon as this has been done, the balance of the preliminaries will follow in rapid order, so we are in formed, and the public may rest as sured that real action will begin within the course of a reasonable length of time. It is the hope, we are told, to have the improvement in by a year from now and thus will place McHenry ready and prepared to see the new state highway, from Waukegan to Woodstock, built thru our village. With all of these improvements completed, McHenry will be abreast of other progressive municipalities and when once there we believe that she will never be allowed to lag in anything that will be for our betterment. sup 16,350 rooms cm STILLING A STOCK LOADED FISH SATURDAY A Narrow Escape Harold Miller, fourteen-year-old s«hi of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miller of this village, had a very narrow escape from serious injury Saturday night, when a bicycle he was riding was struck by a passing automobile. Fortunately the machine was going at a moderate rate of speed, pushing the bicycle and its rider to one side of the road rather than throwing him underneath the wheels of the heavy car, thus the lad escaped with only minor bruises, altho the wheel was wrecked. He was picked up and carried to his home and since then is again able to be up and around. The accident occurred between eight and nine o'clock on Elm street near the MaE' quelet buildingg. < quslet building. Carnival Leaves The Clifton-Kelley carnival, wfcfeh held forth in this village all last week, pulled up stakes during last Saturday night and left the following day for Monroe, Wis. Big crowds attend ed the carnival every night during its stay in McHenry and if the number of people in attendance can be used as a criterion we would venture to say that they lost no money while in our midst. Gives Employment to Many Borden's milk bottling plant in this village at this time gives employment to the largest working force in the his tory of the factory. Between thirty and forty men are employed. With the new pasteurizer now installed one of the large improved washing ma chines is the next improvement to follow'and Supt. J. E. Pufahl is look ing for the arrival of this new piece of machinery at any time. '-v:rv _ Home Coming Nets $130 John Stoffel, who acted as treasurer at the home-coming and Fourth of July celebration held in McHenry last year in honor of the boys of McHenry township who served their country during the late war, informs us that the net proceeds, amounting to about $130, are still in the West Mc Henry State bank and he suggests that those responsible for the event hold a meeting for the purpose of making final disposition of thi money. It has already been suggested to turn the fund over to the McHenry post of the American Legion, as most of the ^veta" are now members of that body. Undergoes Slight Operation Peter J. Heimer, proprietor of the Water street market and grocery, underwent a slight operation on his nose at the Woodstock hospital last Thursday and since that time he has rapidly improved. For several weeks past Mr. Heimer has been complaining about a pain in his head and finally consented to an examination of an expert physician, who suggested the operation which took place last Thursday. Mr. Heimer is more than pleased with the results obtained and is again able to be back of the meat block, something he has not been able to do in weeks. Toe Cool For RumHrrs The cool weather has put a crimp in the hotel business in McHenry and along the river. While the usual large week end crowds have not diminished, the week day patronage has not come up to expectations However, there are still five more weeks before the close of the summer resort season and hotel owners are hoping that the weather man will dish up some real hot days and thus drive the city folks to the country. Entertained Variety Club Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Donavin very delightfully entertained the members of the Variety club at their home •n Main street Tuesday evening Five hundred was played and prizes awarded as follows: Firsts, Mrs Geo. A. Stilling and Geo. H. Johnson consolations, Mrs. C. J. Reihansperger and Geo. A\ Stilling. Refreshments were partaken of after the close of the card games and the distribution of prizes. [Pinston (Pa.) The wonders, the glories, the "joyof- life" to the small boy and the "grown up youngsters" drew into town early this morning under the title of the Walter L. Main shows. At West Pittston and at the unloading point a reception committee of delighted kiddies were on hand bright and early to superintend the raising of the "white city" and to make certain that the huge pachyderms (that's circus for elephants) did not feel the heat or the lack of liquid refreshments. A great crowd assembled .on the streets of Pittston and West Pittston to witness the mile long parade at noon. Enticing and entrancing music by the bands in gay uniform; petit equestrians perched daintily on beautiful dappled horses; wild and strange animals in open dens; wagons decorated in styles more gorgeous than an artist's dream; plodding elephants; picturesque wild west people astride prancing bronchos; hordes of clowns that kept everyone in the best of spirits; knights encased in silver armor; foreign folio in weird costumes, and last, but not least, the never-old calliope. The afternoon show at 2:30 opened with a grand march, followed by twenty-four varied and pleasing numbers. There were acts to please everybody. Marvelously trained troupes of elephants were handled by the Misses Dot Snyder and McCloud. Both these young ladies are deserving of the highest credit for their daring and skillful work in the handling of these huge beasts. It has never before been our good fortune to witness an animal act as clever since our "circus days" began. There were bare back riders, male and female, who performed unparalleled feats upon the backs of dappled horses, displays of gymnastic and acrobatic marvels, convulsing, and mirth provoking clowns; beautiful human butterflies; a thriller where a young lady did a 250 foot slide suspended only by her teeth. Grace Glynn and Miss DeMott, two dainty equestrians, kept all eyes "glued" on the rings with their wonderful horsemanship and their extraordinary feats. Mai and Dot Bates have a wonderful bicycle act, wherein all laws that ever applied to gravitation are ignored. But sll the acts were excellent Everybody was pleased, and, to say a whole lot in a few words, it "is some great show." While most of the sttention was centered in the "big top," there were hundreds of persohs who arrived too late for the main performance, and these contented themselves with giving the side shows the "once over." And those side shows contained some freaks. "Serpentina without a bone in her bpdy--and alive," the eight legged horse Zula, whose home is with a den of reptiles, and many other wonders. Will appear in McHenry on Monday, Aug. 2. Admission: Adults, 60c; all children under twelve, 30c; war tax included. Don't Know How Much They Made Just how much the McHenry post of the American Legion will make as the result of the carnival held here la|t week is still undetermined. Their share of the proceeds amounted to something like $180, but out of this money they must pay for the light and power consumed as well as the village license. When these bills have been paid there will be little left to put in the boys' treasury, we are told. Breaks Arm Audrey Kemp, aged twelve years, who is summering at Howell's Villas, had the misfortune of breaking a bone her felt arm just above the wrist one day last week. A motor boat in which she was riding was pulling up to Jus ten's pier and the accident occurred when the young lady reached out to grab one of the posts before the boat had come to a full stop. Dr. D. G. Wells attended her. Hickory Lawn A number of automobile parties from Chicago, Waukegan and Burlington kept the place lively and interesting during the "week end" of last week. Among the guests were Mrs. John Leach, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Leach, Miss Helen Leach, all of Burlington, Wis.; Otto and Albert Morrison and the Misses Helen Bernard and Dorothea Hale of Chicago. . Sold Another Let J. C.* Holly, cashier of the. Hoy bank ... this village, and also owner of the Edgewater addition, reports the sale of another lot since our last issue. The new addition contains some of the very choicest of our river lots and indications are that this beautiful stretch of property will witness a big building boom before the advent of another summer season. , lee Cream Boda|>; When? Saturday night. Where? On the lawn at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Baron on Main street. Delicious ice cream and cake will be served, music will be furnished during the evening and a good time is assured. Everyone is invited. Come! Loaded Into Huge Trucks at Justen's Landing--Brought to McHenry In Big Scow Stilling & Stock, local carp seiners, last Saturday afternoon and evening loaded 16,350 pounds of live carp at Justen's landing in this village, the unusual sight being witnessed by a large number of interested spectators made up of local people as well as Chicagoans. The carp were first taken from the big pen near Half Moon island, Pistakee Lake, and thence transferred into a huge scow, especially built for the purpose. The scow is of one carload capacity and is so constructed as to allow same to be sunk into the water to a sufficient depth to provide plenty of fresh water and thus keep the fish alive. The big cargo of live carp was then towed to this village by means of a gasoline launch. A large, strong dip net was used in fishing the carp from the bottom of the scow, when they were emptied into boxes and then carried to an im provised pen, where they were once more transferred into ice packed boxes and loaded onto trucks. A dozen or more men were employed in the work and several hours were consumed after their arrival in Mc Henry before the last box had been packed and loaded. Three huge trucks carried the fish to the Chicago market, the Booth fisheries being the purchasers. The shipment represents this spring's catch, the average weight of the fish being approximately eight pounds. We were told that none of the fish weighed less than six pounds, while the largest in the whole shipment tipped the scales to exactly thirty- six and one-half pounds. Twentyfive and thirty pound fish were common. The local firm has made a business of carp fishing for several years past, until now their equipment is one of the biggest and best to be found in any of the inland lakes of the country. Their experience in carp fishing has also developed the work to such a state that it is now systematically perfect"or as near so as it is possible to mske it. Every member of the crew has had several years of experience along this line of work and the placing and hauling in of the big net is done with such precision that a break or some big obstruction in the water bottom are the only means that a fish can escape when once inclosed. The firm, it will be remembered, dumped hundreds of carp into the mill pond here more than a year ago and these, we are told, will be taken out and shipped to the Chicago market some time in the early fall. !• Traveling Representative* Henry Block, at one time foreman of the bottling department at the Borden plant here, has been calling on friends in town during the past few days. Mr. Block is now employed as traveling salesman for the Lathrop- Paulson company, manufacturers of automatic washing machines for milk bottling plants. This machine is the invention of Harry Lathrop, at one time milk inspector at the local plant. He perfected his invention while employed as superintendent of the Englewood plant of the Borden company shortly after leaving this village. In his capacity Mr. Block has visited scores of cities* in many states of the union as well as some points in Canada and appears highly interested in his work and much pleased with the opportunity of seeing the country and at the same time gaining valuable experience and an excellent business training. His many friends in Mc Henry will be pleased to know of the he has already attained. LARGE CROWD AT SOCIAL St. Patrick's Pariah Entertains Bif 'tipawd at Seci«l A targe Crowd attendMf the ice cream social, given under the auspices of St. Patrick's parish and held on the lawn of the rectory on Washington street last Saturday evening, the total proceeds being reported to be about $116.00. A very pleasing muscial program was rendered during the evening and the event goes down in the history of £he parish as one of the biggest and best of the kind ever undertaken. As was only natural, the new church proposition came up for discussion and from the encouragement given the pastor, Rev. M. J. McEvoy, nothing can stop the plans for the building at some opportune time one of the finest church edifices in McHenry county. . The various committees named to further the new church proposition are very much enthused and with these members working in perfect unity with the congregation at large it be gins to look as if the new church will be brought to a full realization much sooner than was first anticipated. MASONS ENJOY OUTING Passed Thursdsy at Delsvan^ Lake, Wisconsin , Members of the McHenry lodge, No. 158, A. F. & A. M., together with their wives and members of their families to the number of eighty-five, enjoyed a day's outing on the banks of beautiful Delavan lake at Delavan Lake, Wis., last Thursday. The machines bearing the pleasure seekers left McHenry shortly before ten o'clock, arriving at their destination about an hour later. As per previous arrangement the tyleHenryites took dinner at one of the hotels at that point, after which all were ready to pass the afternoon picnicing. A baseball game proved one of the principal attractions and, to say the least, this part of the program was thoroly enjoyed, both by the participants as well as the spectators. Shortly before the supper hour had arrived the entire party bade the popular resort good-bye and the machines were soon on their way to Lake Geneva, where a picnic supper was partaken of in the park. The goodies for the feast had been sent to Lake Geneva that morning, so when that point was reached the Indies weren't long in laying the spread. With this over an hour or so was passed along the beach, which marked the closing of one of the most pleasant outings ever undertaken by the McHenry lodge. Tired, but happy, the delegation reached their homes Iters shortly after eight o'clock The Woodland Cemetery In passing this resting place «f our loved ones, one cannot help but take notice of its well kept atmosphere, which so beautifully symbolizes the thoughtfulness and high reverence of those of us who are left behind.
