The foundation for a garage" «rith Y connections, with drive already in, was J>eing laid out. We understand that Roily Weeder, Contractor, now has the plans and will at once start construction of this garage, which will be double, and will also build two rooms and a porch over the company's present power plant. These rooms, which will face the.river, will have front and sides of glass and will be for the use of a watchman. This season Mr. Bostwick had two assistants. Next year he intends to increase his force and will require three more men for laboratory work. The company has its own power and light plant, which has proven its excellence by running continuously night and day since early last spring. The lights will now be run along the entire length of the steel wall, which four hundred feet long, and also around the planting bed. This will make the pearl fisheries probably the most brilliantly lighted place along the Fox river. We are glad that Mr. Bostwick selected McHenry as a location for his business.

What was his real message to men and why deos it still live? These questions will be answered by the sermon next Sunday morning on "The Contribution of Jesus to the Building of the Church." Everyone is most cordially invited to ^ the service at 11?K> o'ekwk. a*Mgiu> Out In LicpseSm Is In CHawfe «f McHenry M*n Thru the courtesy of the management and with E. S. Warrington as guide the writer experienced the pleasure of being shown thru the plant of the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co. at Terra Cotta on Tuesday morning of this week and, to say the least, the trip proved one of revelation as well as profound interest. Our trip had its beginning in thf modeling room, located on the second Poor of the extreme vest end of the main building. Here we were introduced to Kristian Schneider, who, has charge of this department, and who, by the way, is considered one of the very best clay modelers in this country at the present day, and, besides* this rare distinction, ha is also one of the oldest ehiploy&s point of years in service now on the payroll of the Terra Cotta company. Four assistants, all younger men, form the balance of Uie workers in this particular department. Here all of the ornamental clay models are turned out from blue prints. At the time of our visit one of the models being turned out by one of the young artiste was a K. of C. emblem, which, when completed, would carry the various colors of the society. "Over the Top," a?> taken from the late war, was one of the completed pieces on exhibition and. while the subject is one which most of us are trying to forget, it was nevertheless a piece of art that would command unusual attention. Another very beautiful and interesting piece was a Lincoln panel, which completed a series of ten of which we will speak later on. Leaving toe ' genial Mr. Schneider and his Tory able assistants we followed the model to its next station, the plaster shop, located on the ground floor of the main building. Here the model is used in making the moulds. From the plaster shop the moulds find their way to the pressing rooms, four in number. Two of these rooms are located on the second floor and two on the third. Here actual c onstruction of terra cotta has its beginning and it is an interesting sight indeed to watch the scores of Bkilled workers turning out ornamental pieces of every ^ascription. As it is seldom that two ders are working on the same of a piece, the trip thru these pressing rooms'keeps the visitors' in terest at high tension from the time he enters until he leaves.. It is not uncommon to hatve an architect change his plans after a particular piece has left the pressor and in order to save the time and delay in making up new models snd moulds this particular piece is sent into the cutting room, or what we might term the alteration department. Here tba changes are made to ooaform with too revised plans of the architect. , With the alterations completed the pieces next find their way to the drying quarters, situated between the pressing departments. An over night stay on the drying racks, where an intense heat is maintained throout the operation, fits toe work for their journey to the slipping departmeast the following morning. » The slipping department in all reality is the coloring room. Here the work is placed upon a revolving table, a spraying method being employed to apply the various colorings. Receptacles maintained on the floor above this revolving table contain the colorings. The color finds its way from these receptacles thru rubber tubing, at the end of which the sprays are attached. Very convenient indeed for the workmen handling the sprays. They are propelled by air pressure. In referring to the apparatus in the hands of* the workers our guide called them brushes and this is what they are in reality. , In the same room is also maintained the polychrome department, which consists of hundreds of pieces of ornamental designs in their richly colored state. The department is easily the most delicate in the-, whole building and is a treat to the eyes. Albert Fritz is in charge of this department and his valued services are exceptionally essential to the plant He has given many years of his life to the work and in the eyes of his employers must be looked upon as one of their most valued men. With the slipping room operation completed we now find the work ready for toe kilns for baking, thru which process the beautiful colors are brought out. The baking process requiwes from 120 to 130 hours,. after which the fires are extinguished and the blocks are left for cooling. With everything working in first-class order the heat temperature maintained in toese kilns is between 1100 and 1200 centigrade. During the process of baking the doofe of the big kilns are sealed with three thicknesses of brick and mortar, thus making them abso- SER "ST. OCTOBER 20. 1981 ATION ^dQtCM.WTE nSdVOMT ATMUMT INWAN JACK JERMT FOUND 1/ 80DY TUESDAY V / Had Been In River Over a Week-- Victim Was Known to Many In Mc- {Kenosha Evoning NewS, Oct l&J The instinct of the • primitive, the cunning of the redskin, showed itself again today when John Jermy, professor of the waters, the famous old Stillwater Apache Indian, recovered the body of Harry Beck, the Wilmot young WATER MAIN BEYOND REPAIR Slew Stretch of Pipe to Be Laid Aerora Boone Graqk - The village water ""mains extending from a point just across the street from the power house across Boone creek and north to the Empire theatre have.been found to be in such condition that replacement of the entire stretch will be necessary. Taylor Bros., who last w$ek completed their contract on the Fox river dam, brought their men to McHenry last week and work was begun to dig man who was dm-viied in the Fox' WP ^ l«aky main for toe purpose of river near the Wiimot dam a week ago Monday. Accompanied by his assistant, "Indian Jack" Jermy came to Kenosha early this morning and hurried out to Wilmot on his mission of mercy. An appeal had been made to him on behalf of the grief stricken parents of young Beck and he had come at the invitation of Henry B. Robinson, president of toe Merchants and Savings bank. It was just after one o'clock this afternoon that the wonderful instinct of the Indian triumphed in the finding of the body. Jermy and Indian Jack hui eaten their dinner and had decided to go out and search the river for the body. They moved back and forth Across the river only a couple of times when too "professor of the water" stood up in the boa^t and said to his assistant, "Over there!" The boat turned just a little from its course and Uie grappling hooks went down and the body was brought to the surface. It was within five'rods of the spot where Beck had been drowned. Old man Jermy and his assistant brought toe body to the b»nV nver in siionce. They had nothing to say as to what strange thing had led them to succeed in finding the body when scores of men who had searched the river had failed. They hurried away to get ready to go back to the Stillwater home without even Suggesting just what had led them to the spot where the body was hidden in the deep water--possibly caught under a clift ih too river. "It was the instinct," was the only suggestion that the Indians made of their finding of the body. The body was not badly decomposed and it was taken directly to the homo of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Beck, parents of toe drowned boy, in Wilmot. While refusing to give the least intimation as to how he was led to the spot where he first discovered the body, the "professor of the waters" did tell how he caught toe body on the grappling hooks and brought it to the surface. "Others might have found it if they had had the proper equipment," declared the Indian. "Perhaps they may have had the body on the hooks and never realized it. After I found the body--never mind how--I rolled it along on the river bed for several yards. I did not want it brought to the top while the father was watching." Old Jermy motioned with his hand for the crowd to lead Ferdinand Beck, the father, away from the bank of the river. Then on the east side of the river, where no one could see thetn, the Indians brought the body to the top. "After I have once located a body, I can follow it by a line of bubbles which probably others did not see," said the as he disclosed a little more regarding his mysterious ability. Some who were on the river bank maintain that the Indians did some mysterious acts just before they brought toe bpdy to the top, bat none of this could be ' confirmed. "Well how did you locate the body ? " making necessary repairs, but after three days' work it was discovered that the leaks in toe mains were more numerous than had been expected. As a matter of fact, local officials had been laboring under the impression that only one leak existed, that being in the main underneath Boone creek- Investigation on the part of Taylor Bros., however, revealed the fact that not t&ly the pipe underneath the creek, but those on either side had sprung bad leaks. The matter was taken up at a special meeting of the village board on Tuesday evening of this week, at which time it was decided to lay new mains, starting at a point in front of the Empire theatre, thence crossing the street, over Boone creek and then to the power house. The ditching work for the job was started on Wednesday morning and with favorable weather conditions should be completed within a reasonable length of time. Instead of sinking toe new pipe line, it will be suspended over the creek, thus eliminating the trouble k*'1* *•-" .Apui ienceti at this point these 16any years. The old pipe will not be taken up, but will be left intact and used only in cases ef gency in the future. SEEK SUMMER CAMP Brewspgr Servk* Station Oa» of Most •7* CnlipMe In County While there are still a f«w more finishing touches to be made on the grounds, the Brewery Service station is now complete and re&resqnta one of toe most modem stations of toe kind in McHenry county. In an interview with the proprietor of the place, M. L. Worts, a Plaindealer scribe was told this week that in planning the station h« had embodied everything that the name "service" implies. A visit to toe station will prove this to be trusw All of to® pumps, including two grades of . gasoline, kerosine and oils, have been erected on the curb as have the water and air sei-vice, which is free to anyone who wishes to use same. Motorists nowadays are oftimes in a great rash and will, in such cases, pass up stations where they 9eel that immediate service is not obtainable. This fact was taken into consideration by Mr. Worts when planning the McHenry station and for this reason all of toe pumps have been placed on the curb, where they are easily accessible and where service may be rendered in the shortest possible length of tilne. Not only has the interest of the busy man been taken intQ consideration, but that of the tired and weary motorist as well. The Motor Inn, or rest room, which is conducted along with the service station, takes exceptionally fine care of this class of the traveling public. Motor Inn provides a place to sit down, enjoy a cigar and look over his route map, eat a dish of ice cream and enjoy a soft drink. Then, too, there are at. Wb command a public telephone booth and ladies' and gents' lavatory, conveniences which are not often found in towns the site of McHenry. In order that the various pumps ahd other outside equipment may assist in adding attractiveness instead of providing an eye sore, all of these have been neatly painted, which, together with the ornamental lights, make the place a decjj^ad improvement to that part of town. For the further convenience of night touristg one of the ornamental lights is allowed to burn all night and to our ((uestlon in asking the reason for this the writer was Informed that as the Service Station is given on the road maps and therefore used as a guide by hundreds of tourists toe place will be recognised from a distance, even at night v The Brewery Service station carries a display advertisement in this week *8 issue of The PtawdaafcNr* Road it over. ^ M.

It is absolutely essential that the property be on a lake as boating and bathing atto the chief recreations indulged in by the girls who will occupy the camp.
