' _ _ TEAM TO REPRESENT STATS t» M|t at National Dairy Show Part at the club work this ywar with the boys has been the judging of dairy cattle. Some nine or ten contests have been held in different parts of the county so that all the boys would have' a fair chance to get to at least several of the contests. «r Every boy in the county was gi*en a chance to attend the contest at the county fair. The following week Mr. Robert Stewart of Hebron kindly lent his herd and time for an afternoon. Here the boys saw some of the best pure bred Holstmns in the county and were given an opportunity to study some mighty fine ^ypes. There have been six counties with dairy projects in the state and all have the right to enter the contest for state team. The contest to select the state team was held at DuPage county under the supervision of E. A. Cancross, McHenry county's former assistant county agent, who is now county agent of DuPage county. This, contest was held Tuesday, the boys visiting the home of the champion cow and the grand champion bull of the Illinois state fair. Also a prise winning herd of Guernseys and one of Jerseys. Roy Thompson, Howard Phalin ami Earl Walsh, the two latter from this village, were the best three boys and Edwin Kueeker was next. This makes the first three named the team and the latter the alternate to represent the state at the national dairy show, which will be held at Minneapolis October 8 to 15. There are»no state funds available for sending this team this year as the county board made no appropriation for club Work and so far Mr. Murray has met all expenses personally. We feel that club work in this county is accomplishing some good. For three years the work has been the best in the state of Illinois. If there are any who feel as we do we would be glad to have contributions for this work. Send all money for this fund to Jacob Olbricjl, Treasurer, Harvard, 111., or hand* to any member of the board. Building New Boat Shop A. J. Pouliot, who during the past sevecal months has been building row boats in a little shop he constructed just south of his residence on the east side of Fox river, this week started construction woqjt on a new bant building, which dimensions are to be 22x60. While his venture in the boat building business in McHenry was more or less of an experiment with him from the start, he has long since passed that stage and today to js at the head of an established business which gives promise of dewsiaping into an enterprise of proportions as the time goes on. The new building will fWe more room for expansion and with the installation of boat building material he will be in a better position to take care of the orders that are now coming in. Mr. Pouliot informeda Plaindealer reporter one day this week that he had submitted a big contract for a largonumber of row boats and if successful in landing the contract his shop would be kept busy for a number of months to oome. Here's hoping he lands the contract. Entertained Far Bride-to-be Misses Emma Theten and Barbara Wiedemann entertained at a luncheon at the home of the former last Thursday evening in honor of Miss Elizabeth Neiss who is to become a bride soon. The guests of the occasion were: Mrs. Irwin Hart, Mrs. Gertrude Schaefer, Mrs. Christina Neiss, Misses Emma Thelen, Barbara Wiedemann, Kathryn and Gertrude Weber and the guest of honor, Miss Neiss. On the following evening Misses Kathryn and Gertrude Weber entertained for her at an aluminum shower, at which time a few very pleasant hours were passed at music and social conversation, followed by the serving of a delicious luncheon. Both occasions were very highly enjoy guests present High Water Hinders Work Owing to the continued high water in the Fox, workmen employed on the 400-ft seawall, now under construction in front of the L J. Brainard property, have found progress rather slew. However, the entire wall should be completed within a short time. John Smith, who has the contract for filling in the front, is also on the job every day. We are told that Mr. Brainard is planning on the construction of another summer home on the property. Ui Doris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Warrington of this village, was taken to Chicago last Saturday, where she underwent an operation at the Wesley hospital for the removal of her tonsils and adenoids.

' PROVAL OF STATE * Supervisors Awaiting the Final Decision aa to the Location of the Proposed Ceawnt Highway Signers to the petition, asking the McHenry county board of supervisors for a foot bridge across Fox river at this point, were somewhat disappointed last week when it became known that the McHenry county body had taken no action on the matter. This week the writer interviewed Supervisor .Stephen H. Freund oa» the matter and from him learned that the boafri of supervisors was powerless to act without first consulting the state on the proposition. According to the McHenry supervisor it is necessary for the local highway commissioner and the county commissioner tQ get busy with plans to be submitted to the, state before any action can be taken by the county board. Another point brought oat by our supervisor and which, in a manner, excuses the county board is the fact that the construction of the new cement highway between Waukegan and Woodstock will necessarily mean the construction of a new bridge across the Fox at this point and therefore it would appear a poor move at this time to expend any more money on the old structure than is absolutely necessary. The exact route of the proposed cement highway above referred to is still an unsettled question and before the route is definitely decided it would be poor judgment to plan a foot bridge alongside the present structure. According to state plans the most direct route between given points is generally followed out in the construction of hard roads and should the tate highway department live up to this ruling in passing thru the village of McHenry the road will not cross Fox river at the foot of Pearl street. According to those who have given the matter their attention, it is the plan of the state to cross Fox river at the foot of Waukegan street. Should this finally come to pass it is still a ^question whether or not the present bridge will be torn out. A second bridge, it is plain to be seen, would lessen the traffic over the present structure very materially and at the same time lessen the danger to pedestrians while crossing same. While many of our .people residing in the lower end of town, especially the business men, are pulling for it route which will take the state highway across the Fox at the present bridge, there are otkere who would like to see the new bridge crose the river from the foot of Elm street, and still others who care little where the bridge is constructed. It is a question which must be threshed out between township, village, county and state officials. Steps have already been taken by our town board preliminary to the securing of the right of way. A sum will be set aside from the general taxation fund next year, which is proposed for just such a purpose, which seems to indicate that this body is not asleep and wants to be ready when the word comes to secure any right of way that may be found necessary in following out the state plans. The village of McHenry, also, must be ready as the highway cannot pass thru our municipality without first securing the right of way. While the village has not as yet taken steps towards this aid, it is certain that they will do so in plenty of time. In short, it looks to us at this time as if the state can depend upon McHenry township and our village to cooperate in every way possible. And this is as it should be as the people of this community want the road and want it badly. Why not get together without further delay and come to some decision as to the route to be followed across the river and thru the village and evince the state of our sincerity in the matter? - * Attended Crystal Lake Banquet Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Justen and Mr. and Mrs. Peter M. Justen of this villag were present at the first meeting of the recently organized McHenry County Funeral Directors' association held at Crystal Lake last Thursday evening.

VMLft WAR HERO BURIED OVfiBSEAS HERO GIVEN FULL MILITARY HONORS Body of Charles Geafca, Who Fell During the Advance on Blase Mont, Laid at Rest Sunday Bowed in the deepest reverence scores of citizens of this community last Sunday afternoon paid their last respects to another of our young men who had crossed the deep, blue waters of the sea and there amid the thunderous roar of the cannon had laid down his life. It was the funeral of Corp. Charles Geske, who had been killed in action October 4, 1918, during the bitter advance on Blase Mont in the Champagne sector of France. The last sad rites were held at the M. E. church in this village at two o'clock with full military honors being accorded the hero of the late World war. The body arrived in this village from Chicago last Thursday evening and was at once taken to the home of the deceased's uncle, Henry Buchert, from whence the funeral took plpce Sunday. The body was accompanied by Private Hendrickson of Camp Grant. Rev. Roger C. Kaufmann, pastor of the English Lutheran church of Woodstock, rendered an eloquent sermon and musical selections were given by Hugo Nelson, also of Woodstock. The military ceremonies were very ably and most impressively conducted by members of the McHenry as well as the Woodstock American Legion posts, the latter bringing over a firing squad in charge of Corp. Joe Lucheck. The pall bearers, all ex-service and American Legion men, were as follows: Lieut. -Lester Edinger, Lieut. William Thompson, Clyde Zoia, Leo Clark, Arnold Lorens andv George Sullivan. The remains were laid at rest in the family lot in Woodland cemetery. Charles Geske was born in West Mc Henry, 111., February* 2, 1896. His mother died when he was six year of age and he was given a home with his aunt, Mrs. Henry Buchert, and remained with the family until his enlistment into service. He was a mem ber of Co. G of Woodstock for two years previous to his enlistment on November 6, 1015, at Jefferson Barracks. He was sent from there to Mexico, where he served until December 1, 1917, when he sailed for overseas, going into action almost immediately upon his arrival over there. He was a member of Co. I, 23rd infantry, 2nd division, A. E. F., when he sacrificed his life for his country. Two brothers, Walter Geske and Frank Geske, and six sisters survive him, viz., Mrs. Frank Duensing and Miss Lena Geske of Algonquin; Mrs. Walter Fantqr of Crystal Lake; Mrs. Jack Baron and Miss Nettie Geske of Glen Ellyn and Mrs. Fred Essenfeldt of Wheaton. His . parents preceded him. The family is well known in McHenry, having resided in the village for many years. Pvt. Geske had given exactly three years of service on November 6, 1918. Complete evidence of the loyalty of the deceased is chronicled for his country. Many heroic deeds were reported from time to time for bravery shown by Pvt. Geske on the battle fields of France and the following letter from his chaplain substantiates these claims: "VaUendar, Jan. 27, 1919. "Mr. John Baron, Glen Ellyn, 111. "My Dear Mr. Baron--I have your letter of December 18, 1918, in regard to the death of Cpl. Chas. F. Geske, Co. I, 23rd infantry. Cpl. Geske was killed on October 4, 1918, during £he advance on Blase Mont in the Champagne sector, France. This OLD TIME RESIDENT DBAD Mra. Bridget GflMba1 Passed Away * Last Friday With the death on Friday, Sapti tt, of Mrs. Bridget Gibbs, McHenry suffered the loss of one of its oldest and greatly respected residents and St. Patrick's parish a deVtrat and faithful parishioner. | - Mrs. Gibbs, whose maiden name was Knox, was born in the town of Bigwoods, County of Kilkenny, Ireland, Veventy-five years ago, coming to America in the year 1868. For a short time she resided in Chicago, later coming to McHenry, where she resided on the farm until her death. Shortly after coming to America she was married to John Gibbs, who preceded har in death about a year ami a half ago. Threa of the children, born of the union survive, Charles W., James and Mrs. Thos. McCabe, while two are dead, John, well and favorably known in McHenry, who died in Chicago two years ago, and one child who died in infancy. Mrs. Gibbs was a big hearted, out spoken Irish woman, the possessor of native Irish that made her welcome everywhere and the life of any gathering. Many stories could be told of her generosity, her charity and her sterling faith in the tenets of her religion. She will be missed by all who knew her. She was buried from St. Patrick's church on Mondd^r morning at 10:00 o'clock.0 High mass was sung and the absolutions and sermon given by the pastor, Father McEvoy, who spoke very feelingly of the Christian life of the dead woman. , The church was ftMad with the friends and relatives of the deceased who had come to pay their last respects to the memory of a good woman and to pray that she whom they loved and admired might enjoy eternal rest. The burial service was completed at the grave in the church yard adjoining where the body of Bridget Gibbs rests beside her husband and the children who went before her. Heartfelt sympathy is extended the family who mourn the death of their beloved mother. Named Game and Fish Warden John Engeln of this village last Thursday received his commission making him a game and fish warden for the state of Illinois. He entered upon his new duties immediately and has been on the job ever since. While his official capacity will probably take him to various sections of the state, it is more than likely that most of his activities will center in this immediate section. Mr. Eldredge of Richmond, who is also engaged in a similar capacity, is still on the job and from what we are able to learn will oontinue to serve as such an official, our information being to the effect that the territory served by the Richmond man was really too big for one official to cover properly. Mr. Engeln's many friends will be pleased to learn of his appointment, as they feel certain that the McHenry man will maka a good officer. Cary Next Sunday The Cary Baseball club will make another trip to our village next Sunday afternoon with the sole purpose of avenging the defeat handed them by our boys early in the season.

In the excitement of being relieved a bag containing the personal effects of eleven men whom I buried on that day was left behind and never recovered. Cpl. Gettke'a effects were among the number. This is a loss with which shall always reproach myself for I know how the bereaved families appreciate the note book, intimate family pictures and so forth one usually finds on a soldier who is killed in action. wGeska was highly regarded by both the officers and the men of his company.
