' Work on the Co-operative Milk Bottling plant at Grayslake is meeting with slow progress during the past two weeks, owing to the fact that several alterations were the . original plans of the structure. The Wisconsin Butter and Cheese company at Elkhorn, Wis., is receiving 160,000 pounds of milk daily. During the year 1920 the company received forty-five million pounds of milk, for which they paid over $1,300,- 000. The Befcrihgton American Legion post last week acquired title to a nine acre tract of land in that village, which is to be made into a community play ground for young and old. The price paid for the .tract was $5,000. Following the steps of business men In ether cities and towns in this locality, twenty-five business men of Marengo have agreed to close their respective places of business on Thursday afternoon of each week from now until Sept. 1. Fox River Grove, on Fox river near Gary, is proving more popular as a summer resort this year than ever before. Quite a number of new cottages have been erected C. W. Stenger, who in partnership with Charles S. Owen of Chicago and Atty. Chas. Allen of Cary now own the Owen estate property in and adjoining this village, informs us that a new golf club is soon to be launched here and that memberships for same are now being solicited. The club's grounds will be located on the company's property and the work of laying them out is now well under way. According to golf" enthusiasts, who have gone over the grounds, the tract thus set aside for the playing of the popular game is very much suited for just such a purpose and when completed should prove one of the best and most popular courses in McHenry county. Golf is rapidly taking its place in the front ranks of sports, not only in this, but foreign countries as well, and links such as McHenry will be able to provide thru the efforts of the above named gentlemen always prove a big drawing card to summer resorters. As stated in recent issues of The Plaindealer, the Owen farm is gradually taking form as one of the most desirable summer resort properties in this, the Fox river valley district. While a number of lots in the new sub-division have already been sold, requests for information regarding the tract are being received by the owners almost daily. The original .tract, which includes all of the Owen estate farm, has only recently been enlarged by eighteen acres, which were purchased from Jacob R. Justen, the strip adjoining the Owen farm on the north. With this addition the company is given a river frontage of more than a mile. As stated in these columns in previous issues, it Is the plan of the company to some day extend the gas and light service along this shore.

How does that sound to you? This is the new name chosen to supplant thst of the Fox River Valley Deep Waterway association. -"•The changing of the name took place at a meeting of members held at the association' headquarters, 11 South. LaSalle St., Chicago, last Thursday evening. The reason for changing the name of the association is because the old name was purely significant of waterway improvements, while the present activities are not only limited to waterway improvements, but such as the extension of public facilities, which includes the betterment of roads, reclamation of all low lands and the seeking of beneficial legislation for the district, which, it is hoped, will eventually mean the taking over by our government the activities of the association. The new name is therefore broader and more fully designates the class to which the association really belongB. In view of the fact that the new name has .been adopted and record of same is being filed with the secretary of state, it is the sincere hope of the officials to be able within the course of the neatt week or ten days to place into the hands \ of the members the association markers, for the purpose of identifying those who are members, and also adopt the official boat pennant. A visit to the contractor, who has the contract for the building of the weed cutters, was made by Messrs. A. V. Hannifin, Chas. E. Reed and C. E. Carson last Wednesday.

The only consorting feature of the affair, especially to the workers in our own township, lies in the fact that McHenry was one of the two towns in the entire county to return a favorable vote, Algonquin being the other. While the workers everywhere thruout the entire county realized right from the start that a big job confronted the*n, we dare say that there Wasn't a booster in the whole county who figured the odds so great. The small vote of Monday clearly evidenced that there wa& a laxity of interest in the issue by the majority of the voters thruout the county, while those opposed to the plan had put in some very effective work. "Our taxes are plenty high enough now without voting an additional tax" is the cry that was/ so often heard during the campaign and no matter what sort of an argument one would put up to the objectors they appeared firm and by their vote of Monday showed that their opinions had not been altered. The vote by townships was as follows: ^ ym Riiey Marengo, 1st Marengo, 2nd .; IT Against 129 to Splendid Program By Grade School The annual exhibit of school work and parents' visiting day took (dace at the public school building in this village last Friday. The exhibit of school work was open for inspection of the public in the various rooms during the afternoon and evening and the specimens shown brought forth much favorable comment from those who took advantage of the opportunity of looking over and examining the work of the pupils of the various grades. While the young folks came in for the lion's share of the honors, the teachers, too, are worthy of much credit for the painstaking and efficient training thus bestowed upon the students. The occasion came to a fitting and highly enjoyable close at the school auditorium in the evening, at which time a most creditable entertainment was provided by the children. The auditorium once more proved far too small to accommodate the crowd in attendance. The greeting, piano solos, songs and drills were executed by the little folks in a manner that was pleasing indeed, while the sketch, entitled "Peggy's Presence of Mind," was roundly applauded. ^ The work of the children stood out a3 a distinct credit to those who took part in the evening's program as well as to the teachers, whose untiring and ever willing efforts were instrumental in making such a happy occasion possible.

S2 50c SPREAD FOR MAT MILK For Purpose of Cleaning Up Deficit and Equalizing Price Over District At a meeting of the board of directors of the Milk Producers' Co-operative Marketing company Wednesday the proposition of cleaning up the winter's work was taken up, the company having fallen behind on equalizing the price over the district, and it was voted to levy a spread of fifty per cent for May milk. Facing a proposition of a price of $2.05 for June milk and condensing companies refusing to pay more than $1.40 for 3.05 milk, making a differential of 65 cents and a possible differential of 90 cents for July, the board decided to make a two-price proposition in the district for June and the future months, letting each class of milk receive the price that it brings, and the spread for operating expenses, commencing with June, to be made upon what the milk brings in its class. The proposition of a fifty per cent spread on May milk was taken up last Friday by delegates from all condensing plants and was unanimously accepted, they being willing to refund on this basis for what they may have been over paid and in a measure agreeing to the two-price proposition. This may seem very radical, but the fact remains that the load has been so heavy the past seven months, from October to May, that the ten per cent spread has not been sufficient to meet it, therefore the increase from ten to fifty per cent for May milk, with plans towards .making a repetition^, jjw$£|es-^ sary. . » Falls Down Stairway Mrs. John W.

Eye witnesses to the accident declare that the driver was not in the least to blame, as she was driving the car slowly and cautiously at the time of the'accident. It was just one of those unavoidable circumstances as happen so frequently now days. Fortunately the child was struck by the fender of the car and, while she received bruises about the head and lower limbs, she was not seriously injured. She was picked up by W. F. Vogt, proprietor of the West Side drug store, who called Dr. Froehlich into attendance. She was taken to her home a few minutes after the accident and reports are that she is recovering nicely. At the time of the accident she was crossing the street with a younger brother and strange as it may seem the boy saw the approaching car in time to break away from his sister^ dutch gild thus avoided injury. ^ Now a Registered Phartnacist Arthur Groom, who a short time ago completed a course in pharmacy in the Babcock School, of Pharmacy at DesMoines, la., on Wednesday of this week received credentials that make him a full fledged practitioner in his chosen profession.
