VOLUME XL.VI MoHEHNTRY. ILLINOIS .THURSDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1920 NO. 1ft WEEKLY EXC1AITGE ITERS AS TAKEN PROM THE COLUMNS OP OUR EXCHANGES IttKelUKM AuortMBt af New* Hens In Condensed Form Far Bwj People County Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock last week|visited his mother at Bradley, S. D., who is now ninetythree years of age. Kenosha, Wis., carpenters, 'who had been on a strike and demanded $1.25 par honr, last week returned to work at tie old scale of $1.12% an hour. The city of Crystal Lake is about to name he** streets and number her houses so as to' be, prepared for the establishment of mail service there. The Sherwood Music School of Chicago will open a branch at Woodstock and has already secured Mrs. W T. Charles of that city as a member of the faculty. The directors of the Palatine-Waucoada railway have not given up hope of saving the road and another effort is low being made to raise the $40,000 which will place the road mi a paying baaia. Rev. Faye Moon of Marengo and a foaner service man has given up his pastorate in the Methodist church in that city and will re-enter the army as a chaplain with the rank of first lieutenant. Here is some business combination. A Rock ford man, who has recently mored to Barrington, is about to open a bowling alley, which he expects to conduct along with an undertaking establishment. The city of Woodstock at the last regular meeting of the city council voted to raise its electric light rates tram 13 to 15 cents for house lighting and from 4 to 7 cents for power. The city owns its own plant. Thieving, believed to be the work of hone boys, has become a common practice at Grayslake. Last week a stove and lumber shed were entered. At the store about $50 worth of goods was taken, while the lumber company lost a large number of tools. The accidental explosion of a shot gun while same was being dragged from beneath the seat of a row boat cost a fifteen-year-old Chicago youth his left arm. The unfortunate accident occurred on Fox river near Elgin last Sunday. A gang of twelve young men, said to hail from Waukegan, "cleaned up" a resort at Fourth Lake last Saturday night known as "Marie's Place." It is said that the piano anct victrola in the place woe smashed, lights overturned and windows broken. The youngsters declare that they had been over charged for*1* near-beer Fox River Grove, which adjoins the 'village of Cary, and which less than two years ago was incorporated, is to have a postoffice in the immediate near future and J. Zeman has already been appointed as the first postmaster. The postoffice for the village was secured thru the efforts of Congressman I. C. Copley and Ally. Charles T. Allen. If you are an owner of a Ford and yon happen to drive same to Elgin you are taking a chance by parking the machine in that city, as Fords are being stolen there with marked regularity of late. Albert Eichler of Hampshire fell victim to Ford thieves in that city last Sunday evening, when his new Ford sedan, purchased only last Friday, was stolen. -Inability to get cars for shipment has caused a shut-down of the big fluff? threshing machine factory at Racine, Wis., where upwards of 8,000 men are employed. Each of the employes has been asked to leave his address so that he may be notified when the plant is ready for reopentag. Fear has been expressed that this will not occur until next spring. The Harvard Improvement club is the name of a new organization which RED CROSS MEETING At -Village Hall Reveal* Lacal Treasury fMt la A meeting of the members of the three McHenry township units of the American Red Cross s^iety was held at the village hall here on Friday evening of last week. v The three units represented were McHenry, Ringwood and Johnsburg. What the meeting kicked in numbers of those in attendance was easily made up in spirit and enthusiasm and therefore the gathering" proved a highly successful one. Among the matters to come up for discussion, the election of a representative to the state conference was probably the most important. Mrs. Jack Walsh was accorded this signal honor by being unanimously elected. A general discussion of how best to apply the funds now on hand in the treasury of the thiee units also took place, but this will not be definitely decided until after the return of Mrs. Walsh from the Springfield conference. The McHenry unit, it is reported, ha» over $900 in its treasury, the Ringwood unit about $300 and the Johnsburg unit a substantial sum, the exact amount'of which was not reported at the meeting. These funds, we are told, are to be expended locally, but in just what manner is yet to be decided. The members of the three units as well as the friends of the Red Cross will no doubt be agreeably surprised to learn of the excellent financial circumstances our units are in and this information should go a long ways towards adding to the memberships of the units. McHENRY FIRM EXPANDS Donavin A Reihansperger to Open Store at Riagwaadl WAS BORN IN VERMONT IN THE TEAR 1848 Can» to HHnnis With Hia Parswte la 1S&4--First Settling an Rtegwaad Prairie--Married In 1873 Donavin A Reihansperger, the Side hardware firm, are about to expand and by the first of the coming month they hope to have in operation a branch store at Ringwood. The firm last week closed a deal for the rental of the Math. Welter building at Ringwood and the work of stocking up the place and getting same in readiness for the opening will be started at once. Donavin & Reihansperger believe that Ringwood and the surrounding country offer an excellent field for just such an establishment and by giving the little municipality one of the most complete and up-to-date stores of this kind to be found anywhere they feel that their efforts in so doing are sure to be crowned by success. George J. Donavin, a brother of the senior member of the local firm, who has been employed at the McHenry establishment during the past few years, has already been named manager of the Ringwood store and will tBiro charge of the place on its opening. Mr. Reihansperger also expects to spend tonsiderable of his time at Ringwood when once the store is opened and the public may rest assured of the very best of service. Is Given Surprise « Mrs. John Grasser was tendered a surprise at her home west of town on Friday evening last, the occasion being her thirty-eighth birthday anniversary. All those in attendance were well entertained by music, games and dancing and a midnight lunch was served, after which the happy gathering left for their respective homes. Mrs. Grasser was the recipient of many nice gifts. Those present were. Mr. and Mrs. John Young, Mr. and Mrs. Earl McAndrews, Mr. and Mrs. Walkington, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Grasser, Mr. and Mrs. G. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. John Ekstrom, Mrs. Mischke, Margaret Ekstrom, Mrs. Sterburg, Mary Ekstrom, Margaret DiBtler, Edward, George and Fride Sterburg, Homer E. Clemens, a well known citizen of this community, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at his late farm home Wednesday evening, October 6, 1920, death being due to heart trouble. He was seventytwo years of age. Mr. Clemens and (ton, Gay, side by side had been busily occupied with the farm duties during the entire day and the father had only gone out of sight in the farm yard and the son wishing to accompany him to the house he went in the direction where he had gone, finding the lifeless form of his father, whom he had been conversant with but a few minutes previous, death coming as he had wished it--without suffering, that he might not be a care or burden to his loved ones. Homer Eugene Clemens, son of Chester and Harriet Smith Clemens, was born at Hyde Park, Vermont, J urn 30, 1848. In 1854 he came with his parents to Illinois. The family settled on Ringwood prairie and remained there until the year 1859, when they moved to the late home, whete he hat-- since resided, and from which his funeral was held on Friday, Oct. 8. On May 7, 1873, he was united in marriage to Georgiana Gage. Two children were born to them, a son, Guy, and a daughter, Nellie, both, with the grief stricken wife and mother, are in the parental home, together with three grandchildren, Gertrude, Ralph and Clarence Clemens, to all of whom he was devotedly attached and his philosophy will live in the lives of the bereaved wife and family, whom he taught to take the sunny side of life's highway, voluntarily shouldering carf and responsibility himself. No greater tributes could be paid Grafton the deceased than those spoken by his I Greenwood neighbors, whom they 'counted as ®'nartland valued friend and honorable citizen of; jjebron the community. i J The deceased was preceded in death by a sister, Mrs. Fatima Harrison, and two brothers, David and Julius Clemens. A large funeral was held at the home of the deceased Friday afternoon at two o'clock, the Rev. John M. Grimes, pastor of the Universalist church in this village, officiating, music, fitting the occasion, being rendered by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly in their usual impressive manner. Interment took place in Woodland cemetery, the remains being tenderly borne to their last resting place by neighbors, Wm. E. Whiting, Chas. L. Page, C. W. Gibbe, Clarence Draper, Chas. Durkee and John Claxton. ASKS FOR FUNDS Salvation Army Asks Couaty Far Funds to Carry an Activities The Salvation Armys asks for funds with which to carry on its activities. There is no need of explaining the work of this great order. There was a time when the lassie in the blue bonnet stood at the street corner or made a house to house canvass, begging our support. Too often she stood there unheeded, too often she asked in vain, but that time is past Today we as a nation thank her for what she did for our soldier boys. She made good in that dreadful time and Was not afraid to stand by our lads to help and strengthen them. Today her work stretches out to the unfortunate, old and young, in every land. She stands ready to help them all, the weak and helpless, for it is the creed of this organization "that a man may be down, but he is never out." The Salvation Army has not solicited in our county for more than a year. The organization believes that people would rather give all at once than have solicitors sent out in the old way. They ask a very modest sum from the whole county, but $2,800. This quota is the smallest sum yet solicited in any drive. The sum has been divided and each township given its share. At an enthusiastic meeting of the American Legion held in Woodstock on Monday evening the boys promised their support and rose unanimously as a pledge to do their part. Chairmen are being appointed for each' township and the drive will be put on the coming week. We are confident that the public will give this organization their hearty support. The quota as made out for the townships is as follows: 45 FOX RIVER VALLEY STATE BANK IS NEW NAME CARL ANMtSON WINS HONORS Aa One af the Bey Jadgea at National Dairy Show Algonqui* Burton . ; Chemung * Coral ....

E. Hayward farm near Crystal Lake. Death was due to gas baccilus infection, which resulted from a compound fracture of his left leg. Attending physicians amputated the leg at the hip on Saturday night in an effort to save Mr. Mulin's life McAndrews. • A Distinction John H. Klein, who since early lart spring has made bis home with his daughter, Mrs. George Wirfs, in this village, made this office a very pleasant call on Tuesday afternoon of this week. Mr. Klein claims the distinction of having been the third white child to be born at Johnsburg. He liyed in the days when this entire locali was one wilderness and then the Indians out-numbered the whites. It is interesting indeed to sit and listen to Mr. Klein's stories of the days that have long since passed by. " Passed Aray Sunday October ^ After Short Ittaaaa W. Attending State CoavsntiO M/s. Jack Walsh of this village, fh company with Mrs. Mary G. Shipton of Woodstock, left Tuesday for Very good progress is being made Springfield, where they attended the the cement road between Volo and Grayslake and the superintendent of the job is doing everything within his power to complete the unfinished atretch this fall. The gang working from the Waukegan end of the highway are quite sure of finishing their /contract i this fall and every farmer along the entire stretch is hoping that the contractor on the Volo end will be just as successful and thus see the apletion of the Volo-Waukegan state conference of tike Red Cross society, Mrs. Walsh goingjas a representative of McHenry, Ringwood and Johnsburg units. The conference ended with a luncheon last evening. Saasething Good to Eat At the M. W. A. hall on Thursday, Oct. 21.

Don't miss Cambi vrt1* Eleanor Estelle Harrison, daughter 6f Francis and Catherine Harrison, was born Oct. 4, 1856, at the homestead in Nunda township, where her parents came from Clinton, New York, and fettled in 1846. She was the youngest child of a family of seven, two sisters having died in childhood. Her youth was spent in the home and her education was in the McHenry schools until the years 1877-78, when she attended school at Valparaiso, choosing the profession of teaching, which she followed for a number of year* She was of a quiet, lovable disposition and it gave her pleasure to make those about her happy. Failing health came and it was deemed best to take her A the Elgin state hospital for treatment, but to no avail, and there she passed away after a short illness of pneumonia on October 10, 1920. She leaves one sister, Mrs. Jas. C. Ladd of Ringwood; three brothers, William H. and Charles W. Harrison of Crystal Lake and James C.

Mi •• Started Mnon llniar New Orgaaizatkm This (Thursday) rflmiiilafl-- Influential Mea Stock Holders , "Fox River Valley State bank" is the name under which the banking establishment formerly known as the Hoy Banking company started doing business here this (Thursday) morning, the institution having changed from private ownership to a state bank immediately after the close of business yesterday afternoon. Fremont Hoy and Cashier J. C. Holly were in Chicago Wednesday, where they met State Auditor Andrew Russell and other public officials, and on their return to McHenry yesterday afternoon the two gentlemen brought with them a state charter, granting them permission to carry on a banking business under the above name. Ever since the passing of the recent law, which provides that all banking houses must be operated under state or national supervision, the former owners of the local' bank have been giving the matter their earnest and most careful consideration, with the result that they have banded together a set of stockholders which are classed among the best and moat influential residents in this community, and under the careful guidance of the splendid set of officials and board of directors the banking house cannot help but flourish. The history of the local bank dates back to 1888, when same was organized by JameS B. Perry and Oliver N» Owen, who at the time also conducted a general store in the village. The store and the bank were at that time located in the building now owned by Albert Lallinger and conducted as a bakery. At the start the bank was nothing more than a side issue with the two men who launched the enterprise. Time, however, brought more and more business, until in the early nineties they decided to. give up the merchandise establismenfc and thus enable them to give over all of their time to the banking business Their next step was the erection of the building which is still housing the institution. Here the Bank of McHenry, as it was known in those days, continued to thrive until same had come to be known as one of the most reliable institutions of the kind to be found in northern Illinois. Perry & Owen continued the business until the fall of 1913, when same was sold and taken over by Fremont Hoy and son, Clarence F. Hoy, since which time it has been known and conducted as the Hoy Banking company, a co-partnership. Having been connected with banking interests more or lest during his entire life, the senior member of the firm soon won the confidence of the The first awards in the cattle judging contests by the boys and girls of fifteen states, who are rRembers of the Boys' and Girls' Calf clubs, held at the national dairy show in Chicago last week, were announced at a banquet given for than at the Stock Yard Inn last Saturday. Among the young men to win signal honors was Carl Anderson, sen of Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson, who reside south of town. He was accorded third high honors in the individual Holstein group. The team to represent the great state of Illinois consisted of Carl Anderson of West McHenry, Edward Schutt and Clarence Doran of- Harvard, Roy Thompson of Greenwood and Russell Beard of Hebron. The presentations were made by George E. Farrell of Washington, D. C., representing the department of agriculture.

Due Considerable Back Pay James Hughes, who, since the installation of the Fox river dam, has had charge of! the locks, is still waiting for pay due him since 1918. This is indeed a shameful condition and should not be allowed. As stated in last week's issue, the dam is also sadly in need of repairs and unless something is done along this line we are very apt to find ourselves without water when spring arrives. It has people of this community and with his j been figured out that if every propson's assistance the business of the in- erty owner along Fox river and stitution has experienced a steady and around Pistakee bay and the business substantial growth ever since and the men of McHenry will contribute a latest change will, no doubty bring a larger patronage than has ever before been experienced. The new bank is incorporated for $50,000 and, as previously stated, has the backing of some of the community's very best and wealthiest citizens. The officers are as follows: Fremont Hoy, president; James B. Perry, vice president; Clarence F. Hoy, vice president; Joseph C. Holly, cashier. The board of directors is composed of the following well known and esteemed gentlemen: John Carey, O. B. Oberstadt, William J. Welch, N. H. PeteBch, Fremont Hoy, Josph C. Holly and Clarence F. Hoy. The business will be conducted in the future along lines which will be as liberal as is consistent with safe banking and the public may rest assured that all business entrusted to the new banking institution will receive careful as well as courteous attention. Letters Fran Mid-Ocean Letters have this week Jjeen received by McHenry friends from Rev. and Mrs. S. J. Harrison, which were written in mid-ocean on board the steamer "S. S. NanKing," bound for NanKing, China. The former pastor and his estimable wife write that all is well and they are enjoying the trip immensely. They will stop off at Honolulu, where, with friends, they will enjoy an auto trip. Their letters also tell of their joy on opening the gifts showered upon them before leaving McHenry and this country. Their letters conclude with the messajpe that they are eagerly looking forward to their arrival at NanKing and their fetter* work. New Pastor Here Suaday ReV. A. H. Burrows, newly appointed pastor of the M. E. church here, preached his first sermon in McHenry last Sunday morning and made a very favorable impression upon the congregation present. The pastor has been given the McHenry and Volo charges and will make week end tripe to this community. He is now a student in the Garritt divinity school at Evansmall annual fee our river can be kept up at its present state of beauty, the dam can be placed in good repair and the back pay of Mr. Hughes paid. All it is a little united effort and our river is saved. Let's get together and give this body of water the interest and attention it deserves. Celebrates Sixteenth Birthday On Tuesday evening, October 12, the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Van Natta on Waukegan street was a scene of a jolly gathering of young folks in honor of the sixteenth birthday anniversary of their daughter, Gladys.

Swims River Daily "And I'm going to keep in up until the first of November" is the manner in which Miss Bessie Hughes, daughter of James Hughes, who resides down the river near the dam, put it to a Plaindealer reporter who happened down that way on Tuesday afternoon. The young "mermaid" was in the act of drying her hair when the reporter appeared. The answer came after the scribe had remarked about it being the 12th day of October. Last year, when cool weather set in much earlier, Miss Hughes kept up her daily plunges until Sept. 20. She has developed into a good swinuner.
