To stimulate business Hebron mer- -*"1 chants joined forces and put on a monster "bargain" day in that village a-week ago last Saturday. As an extra inducement arrangements were made with the proprietor of the picture theatre whereby three shows, free to everyone, were put on during the afternoon and evening. Everything worked out swell and, according to the Hebron Tribune of last week, the village entertained the largest c«>wd ever witnessed in the old town on that day. Merchants all report big business. Crossed electric wires in the attic of the institution is thought to have caused the fire last Friday afternoon which completely wiped out the Sunnybrook sanitarium at Woester Lake, Lake county.

Tha^ Charles B. Harmaen, the present incumbent of the office of town clerk, will be re-elected to the post is now an absolute certainty as no one has appeared to oppose him. Mr. Harmsen has served the people in this particular capacity for several terms and that be again goes into the coming election unopposed appears to indicate that the services rendered in the past have been so satisfactory that no one cared to make the race against him. For the office of highway commissioner the election is sure to develop into a real fight as will the assessorship contest. For the former office Peter Smith and John Boyle are the candidates, while Wm. Simes, E. M. Geier and William H. Althoff are the candidates for the latter named office. Just how these two "scraps" will finally terminate is hard to say at the present time, but if one is to judge from the confidence exercised by each of the five men and their ardent supporters all five will be elected. However, when the smoke of battle has cleared away it will be found that only one commissioner and one assessor have been elected and who these two successful candidates will be only the ballots will tell. While each of the fht candidates for the two offices is going about in his own quiet way in soliciting the support of the voters, all of them are also being given the assistance of their close frieods, who are also putting in some hard work. With the work that is being done we predict a big vote at the polls on March 4. Communicated Had the McHenry traitor* asked for one route through town and thereby shown that they were sincere, then I would never have bothered about the road, but when these traitors tried to drive that part of route 20 that rightfully belongs to McHenry out of town, by wanting to have a sewerage treating plant built where the state wanted to build the state highway and when they were defeated in this they then asked for different routes through town so as to get property owners to fight each other, which, if persisted in, not only delays the building of the road, bat also compels the state to miss the town altogether, as has been done in other towns. The only way to get the road for McHenry at all is to get the residents to sign a petition asking the state for the road as they have already surveyed it; for the majority of the citizens would not have signed up for any other route, for as surveyed it will help the whole, town and give the fanners and property owners down the river a much shorter way to town, besides being the shortest route to Volo. Frederick Beltar. Said Barge and Pile Driver Mr. Taylor, member of TSaylof Bros., who last year had the contract for repairing the dam in Fox river, south of this village, was in town last week, at which time he disposed of their large barge and pile driver to Patrick McCabe of this village. In an interview with Mr. Taylor a Plaindealer reporter was told that their machinery is to he moved to Racine, Wis., where they have a contract that will take them about two years to complete. The concern went to work in the Wisconsin city shortly after completing the job of repairing the water mains on Green street and have had their men on the job almost continuously ever- since. The barge with its load of machinery, weighing several tons, has been quartered in Fox river near the foot of Elm street during the past winter. P. W. Frett Buys Fixtures Peter W. Frett, proprietor of the West Side meat market, located in the Mrs. Delia Matthews building, has just purchased the ice machine and fixtures as contained in the place and is now contemplating some very extensive improvements, which, when completed, will give the market conveniences as never before enjoyed. Mr. Frett is also contemplating the erection of a slaughter house just on tiie outskirts of the west village limits. Should this come to pass he will do most of his own butchering, which eventually will meea tfce employment of more help. J Erecting Lumber A lumber shed, 25x84 feet, with a capacity of from ten to twelve carloads of lumber. Is now in the course of construction at the plant of the j McHenry Lumber company.

PATUCK A MOST PLEASING PROGRAM WAS RENDERED Exdlent St. Patrick's Day Program Is Enjoyed By Appreciative Audience Here Last Friday Evening The entertainment, given under the auspices of St. Patrick's church at the K. of C. hall on last Friday evening, March 17, was very well attended notwithstanding the number of other attractions elsewhere. A splendid program was the award of all present and each number was introduced by Father McEvoy in his usual kindly, jovi&l manner. The community quartet, consisting of William Sherman, Peter Frett, Hubert Schoewer and Peter M. Justen, rendered some very good selections in & manner for which much credit is due. Surely McHenry is proud of this group of songsters. Hubert Schoewer very ably played a couple of trombone solos and was accompanied by Mrs. J. E. Haoswirth, pianist. The singing of "Dream-a-Day Jill" and "Down In Derry" by Miss Dorothy Knox gave the audience an opportunity of enjoying a singer of more than ordinary power., range and sweetness. ' John J. -Sutton sang two songs, "Molly Brennigan" and "The Irish Jubilee," in good style, the wording of the latter selection causing much merriment. Mr. Sutton has a good voice and a memory for verse. Miss Helen Dvorak, noted vidTinist, rendered two choice selections, in which she held*her hearers spell bound and brought them to heights far above this earth. Mrs. John R. Watte of Chicago, a singer of rare ability, was pleasing in her rendition of "The Auld Plaid Shawl" and "The Lass From the County Mayo." Miss Kathleen O'Reilly was very graceful and sweet in her interpretative dancing and her'pretty gown of green was well in keeping_with the, day. Miss Blanche Meyers' rich contralto j voice sounded well in "The Valley of; the Slievenamon." Miss Blanche sings with ease and her voice is exceptionally good. Two readings by Miss Beulah Larkin of Elgin were most pleasingly rendered and soundly applauded. Rev. Fr. McEvoy's songs, "One Fleeting Hour" and "How the Shannon Fldws," were well worth listening to and were made even more beautiful by the violin obligato. Miss Dvorak's last two selections were from Kreisler and after hearing her we must say we are grateful that McHenry count has for her own such a finished product of the musical world and hope we may often have the opportunity of hearing her and her inspiration. Rev. Fr. McEvoy's short address was the last number on the program. His words were in keeping with the feast day and of the hopeful position of Ireland today. In conclusion, the speaker referred to our own flag, with the quotation, "Long may she wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." Dancing and a general good time followed. We trust we may have many more of these home talent recitals and that all of them may be as elevating as this mm. ^' 'mm Friw ds Beoot Althaff r: A number of his staunch friends are out boosting the candidacy of William H. Althoff for assessor and in a manner of appealing for the support of their man they point to his integrity, his ten years' work on farms and last, but not least, his splendid war record, during which he was cited for bravery. The citation, his friends point out, was awarded him for bravery displayed on the 8th day of October, 1918, when he led a raiding party, which succeeded in destroying several of the enemies' machine nests and bringing in a number of prisoners. The McHenry young man had the honor of leading a company of men in three raiding encounters during the late war. The first took place on Oct. 1, 1918, during which he succeeded in wiping out a machine gun nest with the loss of only two men. On Oct. 8 he lost five men, while his last attempt, Oct. 26, proved very disastrous, he and two other men being the only survivors of a party of twenty-three. Brought Home From Chicago Miss Helen Heimer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Heimer of Green street, who has been confined to the West Side hospital in Chicago thru illness during the past few months, was brought home on Tuesday evening of this week and is now under the care of Miss Betty Chalbeck, a trained nurse. Miss Heimer, who has been in training in the Chi- Communicated To the Citizens of McHenry; It haa boon brovght to my that certain parties have been spreading false and misleading reports in regard to my stand in regard to the route of ihe hard road through McHenry as well as on my stand on other improvements. When a petition was circulated some time ago, in order that some of my friends and relatives might be induced to sign the petition, they were told that 1 was in favor of the road crossing the river at Wankegan street; that I was going to sign the petition myself and that should the road cross the river at the present location of the bridge my garage would have to be torn down and my business ruined. Since that time the same party has spread tho report that I was working to have the road built north of town, on a route that would not touch any pert of the village of McHenry. From all reports a majority of the people that signed the petition were mislead and it seems that it is time that someone took the matter up. I can say that the reports spread in regard to my stand in the matter were deliberate lies and the party that spread the report knew they were ties when he spread them. I cannot see why my opinion in the matter should make any great difference, but for some reason my name has been used quite freely, and I am going to take this occasion to say that I .naturally am in favor of the road crossing at the present location of the bridge, but I can assure the citizens of McHenry that my ideas in the matter are not entirely selfish or for self interest. It seems to me that the citizens of McHenry should be in favor of this road crossing the river at some point north of Boone creek to Green street, south to Main street if possible; if not, to follow Waukegan street out of McHenry to Woodstock. If this route is followed McHenry will get a new bridge across Fox river, two. bridges in Centerville, a new bridge on Waukegan street west of the tracks and at least a mile of pavement without the cost of one penny additional taxes. Mr. Tax Payer, can you afford to pass up an opportunity to get an improvement that will cost the state at least $100,000.00? Why pass up a proposition that means so much to all the people for one that is being put through in the interest of one man and for selfish motives only? It seems that if the time, money and energy that is being spent in opposing good roads, sewerage and community high schools were spent in the interest of building up our community that a great deal of good could be accomplished. It is time that the progressive citizens of McHenry got together to stop forever this everlasting blocking of every improvement that is brought up for the good of our community. In recent issues of the Elgin papers were items sponsored by a man that has always opposed everything that was good for either himself or the community. He evidently spent a great deal of time in Elgin spreading a lot of bunk and representing himself to be an official of the village of McHenry. Just what official office he claims to hold in McHenry seems to be kept in the dark. Perhaps he can enlighten the people as to what office he holds and tell who elected or appointed him. He claims that he is incorporating a league to purify McHenry. There is no doubt that there can be some purifying done in McHenry and the best place to start is with the would-be official of McHenry who is sponsoring the league. I understand this league is bung formed to intimidate the officials of the village who have been trying to benefit the community by installing the improvements. I for one will aot be bluffed, seared nor intimidated by any anti-Improvement league. I am for any improvement that will benefit our community and I am proud to say that I always was for thesn. I can stand right out in the street in broad daylight and say that I am for improvements. I don't have to dodge into alleys and back doors and sneak around under cover of darkness like an alley rat. If any anti-improvement clique think they can intimidate me, all I| can say is step to it, gentlemen. ] There is just enough Irish in me to enjoy a good battle. Step out of your dark alleys into the light and show yourselves. Signed. John R. Knox. Torss Down Bssd Offer Hubert Schoewer, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Schoewer, a musician of more than the ordinary ability, has just turned down an offer | h^-self. HEV SCRS OF RQSTEIITY HUNTER MFG. CO. TAKING MORE HELP ON to play with a circus band. The McHenry young man is rapidly coming to be recognized as one of the very cago hospital for some time past, was j best bandmen in the county and his taken ill last fall and, altho she has work with the local organization last WoO as CaMmA Dipirtmst Taking en New life--Wifl Have IBegant Display Room Evidence that we are gradually turning back to normalcy again manifested itself to the writer on Monday morning of this week. v We found this condition to be true at the Everett Hunter Manufacturing company plant, where there are now employed a dozen or more men, whervas the past winter has seen but a few ma, at work. Additional men have been added to the pay roll during the past two months and, according to the president of the concern, more help is expected within the course of the next few weeks. Not only has the boat construction end of the business picked up well during the course of the past few months, but the cabinet department also has taken on new life. In fact, only last week the company made its largest single shipment of cabinets that has left the plant since the opening of the new department. While most of the shipments of the McHenry made cabinets have been confined within the borders of our own county, we were indeed gratified to be told that a shipment into Mexico last week is only an opening of foreign trade anticipated by the local manufacturers. Many new orders in the boat building department have been received during the past few weeks, while the prospects point to even a great influx of business during the coming spring months. On our visit to the plant on Monday morning we also found men busily engaged in moving the cabinet building machinery from the front end of the building to that of the rear. In explanation of the change we were told that the quarters are being cleared of the machinery in order to make space for an up-to-date display room. The plan is to cut in large display windows in the front of the building, wherein will be displayed to the very best advantage the products of the factory. The windows will be electrically illuminated thruout the entire night, thus giving the traveling public an interrupted view of a display of boats of various designs and dimensions that is sure to attract attention, According to Mr. Huntor there isnt a boat building shop or retailer in boats in Chicago which now makes a proper display of water craft. The McHenry display room will, therefore, in all probability be the first of its kind in the central west and will, it is hoped, be the means of bringing much new business to the local plant. Other changes are also contemplated within the factory during the coming summer and just as soon as present plans towards this end have more fully matured the writer will again visit the place and tell his readers more about them. Blue prints for the construction of the largest and most beautiful boat that ever traversed the waters of this summer resort region are now ready and, unless unforeseen circumstances prohibit, work on this palace of the waters will be started very soon. Later on we will also have mors to say regarding this new craft. Truck Catches Fil* A Reo motor truck, owned by Schaefer Bros., local draymen, caught fire while driving along Green street last Thursday afternoon and had it not been for the prompt assistance of residents in the neighborhood and passers-by the machine would undoubtedly have been a complete loss. The car, driven by Herman Schaefer, and loaded with kellastone, had just returned from a trip to Waukegan. The fire started underneath the hood and was burning its way along the gas line when put out by the aid of hand fire extinguishers. The damage is estimated at $150 or more. Schaefer Bros, are grateful for the very timely assistance rendered by those who appeared shortly after the discovery of the blaze. Returned From Europe Miss Erna Norager, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Norager of the Orchard Beach hotel on Fox river, north of McHenry, has just returned from an extended two years' stay in Europe. During the two years passed across the waterB Miss Norager visited seven different countries and is now able to speak as many different languages.

Dear Sir--We acknowledge, with thanks, receipt of your letter of March 16, enclosing an item from the local paper at McHenry that includes our letter addressed to the mayor and council under date of March 11. We are sorry that the decision of this department, that it would be better to locate the sewage treatment plan further down stream than was proposed in the plans submitted and approved in 1920, will delay or seem to delay the proposed improvement, as this department is very desirous that a sanitary sewer system be installed at McHenry at the earliest possible date. We do not believe that a reconsideration of the location of.the treatment plant should greatly delay the proposed improvement, provided consideration of a relocation is given active and immediate consideration. Even if some delay is caused, the advantages to be obtained would more than offset this delay. We are therefore writing to the mayor and council asking what official action has been taken on our letter of March 11 and urging that the desirable changes in the sewerage improvement be made and the revised project acted upon as soon as poasible. Very truly yours, By direction of the Director. •. H. F. Ferguson, Chief Sanitary Engineer. Employ Ex-Service Men Monday, March 20, was American Legion employment day and, while the local post has been endeavoring for some time past to assist those of her members to find employment, real activity along this line was not begun until the regular meeting night of the ex-dough boys, which took place at their hall hers on Tuesday evening, at which time it was decided to make a more determined effort to get those of her number, now out of employment, back to work. Anyone having a position open, no matter what the work may be, would be doing the McHenry post of the American Legion a groat favor by notifying the commander, John L. May. Included in the list of unemployed are farm laborers, factory workers and mechanics. Show your appreciation 1 of the good work these boys have done during the late war by giving them the preference when employing help. They are entitled to this consideration and should have it. Building Speed Run-About Kramer A Mueller, local boat builders, whose shop is located on Fox river at the foot of Elm street, have just started the construction of a speed run-about, which, when completed, will prove one of the speediest water craft yet launched on the waters of this summer resort district. The craft, twenty-nine feet in length, will be equipped with a 140 h. p. Hall Scott aviation motor capable of developing a speed of forty miles per hour. The boat has been ordered and when completed will be delivered to W. E. Cooper of Chicago, who has a summer home at Channel Lake. The boat will be an exact reproduction of one now owned by Edsel Ford of De troit, Mich. Kramer & Mueller hav< several orders for boats besides enough repair work to keep three men busy thruout the entire spring and summer season. Community Club Meeting Monday The next regular by-monthly meeting of the Community Club of McHenry will take place at Justen's hotel at 6:30 o'clock next Monday evening. Richard B. Walsh will be the speaker of the evening and it is hoped that every member will be in attendance. Mr. Walsh's talk will be well worth while. Special music will also be provided for the occasion. Those who have not as yet joined the new organization and wish to do so or acquaint themselves with the activities of the club may do so next Monday evening, the only stipulation being that those wishing to attend Monday evening's meeting notify the proprietor of the hotel no later than Saturday morning of this week so that proper provision may be made.
