MAKEUOADSPASSABLE Baseball Meeting A Meeting for the purpose of ing whether or not McHenry is to have a baseball team the coming Mason will be held at the village hall }m(i tomorrow (Friday) evening at ^gfct: o'clock. Everyone interested in the organisation of a home club should be present at the meeting. A special invitation is extended to Slayers of McHenry' and Member* of Community Club Repair Bad Roads Embued with the spirit, which It is hoped Will soon characterize each and every member of the Community club, fifteen or more members of that body went out last Thursday morning and succeeded in making passable a bad that each MNmrtissr *£D 4*0 as leaders." A like business stimulating scheme has been put on by merchants in various towns thruout this section for several months past Not to be outdone by the neighboring brothers it was decided at a recent meeting of the McHenry club to feel out some of our own business men with a view of instituting a special sale's day in McHenry. Just how big and how attractive such an event can and will be made in McHenry depends entirely upon the attitude of the men to be solicited. The greater the number who get in on the sale's day, the greater will be the drawing power. As stated aboie, Messrs. Spencer and McGee will make the rounds of the business houses tomorrow and thus will be able to report their findings at the next regular meeting of the Community club, which takes place on Monday evening, April 24. Community Club Meets Next Monday The regular bi-monthly meeting of the members of the Community club of McHenry will take place at Woodman hall .next Monday evening, April 24. The meeting will be preceded by a chicken dinner, to be served by the Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church. Owing to the fact that it was necessary for the house committee to guarantee the ladies that at least fifty would turn out for the dinner, it is urgently requested that all members be on hand at the next meeting. The publicity committee has also been successful in securing the services of H. W. Sedwich of Crystal Lake, district superintendent of the Public Service company, as the speaker of the evening and all members may rest assured that the speaker will have a most interesting message to deliver. Other matters of vital importance will also coftte before the meeting, which means that the session promises to develop as much if not more interest than the previous meeting. Don't forget the place and date. Winning Fame As Excellent Shot Crystal Lake Herald: Friends of LoOrr Mead of Houston, Texas, who is a brother of Mrs. Ray Thomas of Crystal Lake, will be interested in learning of Mr. Mead's success as a fine shot. Mr. Mead was visiting last week at the Houston Gun club and while there Mr. Bailly, the Texas chairpioii, invited him to shoot. At the first trial Mr. Mead scored 85 out of 100 and was told that that was a very good score. A second shoot was then suggested by Mr. Mead and this time he made a perfect score, every shot taking effect in the exact center of the bull's eye except one and that was also inside the eye. The shots were made at a distance of 45 yards and the bull's eye measured 2% inches. Mr. Mead received many congratulations on his shooting and was given a write-up in the Houston Post. Since his return from France Mr. Mead has made his home at Hotel Bristol, Houston, Texas. LOWER RAIL RATES Northwestern To Help Boost Henry and River Desrings, Henry Klein, Thornes and stretch of road east of this village One spot in particular, where many an autoist has been pulled out during the past several weeks, was greatly improved as the result of the efforts of the men who were on the. job. It had been the hope that twenty-five or more men would report for work that morning, but owing to unforeseen circumstances a number of the Community club members whose hearts were right otherwise were kept from being on the job. The men who did turn out are to be complimented for the good work accomplished and we dare say that the next call for volunteers will find many more of us on hand. The Community club stands ready at all times to help out in just such emergencies and we feel safe in saying that before the club has been in existence a year the public will be given many reasons to feel proud of the organization., , Died In Chicago McHenry relatives were pained last week to learn of the death of Mrs. Mary Stock, nee Waltera^rhich occurred at her late home at 1327 Wellington Ave., Chicago, on April 12., .

Attend Erickson's Municipal League Taloea Credit of Putting Him Over--Earl Gorman Elected Police Magistrate In a very spirited election ,on Tuesday of this week Wm. G. Schreiner defeated Floyd F. Thompson for the office of village clerk by the narrow margin of twenty-four votes, while Earl Go/man defeated A. 3. Parks for the office of police magistrate by a vote of 45 to 19. While the total vote cast was fifty, four short of the munber registered a year ago, the interest, especially in the clerkship -race, vms almost as great as that which characterised the 1921 battle, when Simon S toff el beat out John Olson for the mayorship by a margin of only three votes. The contest as waged between the two candidates for village clerk was a close one, as predicted in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, and, according to one of the members of the newly organized Municipal league, the winner may attribute his victory to the assistance as lent by that body. Since Tuesday it became known that the members of the above mentioned league were out against the re-election of Mr. Schreiner, but a change in their attitude was brought about the night preceding the battle, and by switching their support from Mr. Thompson the election of Mr. Schreiner was made possible. "Had we remained with the other fellow," one member declared to ye scribe, "Thomp son would have been elected by a handsome majority." While a number of our politicians have taken the new league as more or less of a joke, the fact remains that its voting strength must be reckoned at all elections in the future. As wo see it the league isnt connected with either of the two factions which have heretofore fought out their political differences at the polls and if this be true isnt it only natural to expect a real scramble for the league's support in the battles of the future? The activities of this body, no doubt will henceforth be watched with interest. The total veto oast at Tuesday's election was 509, while at the same election a year ago 563 voters visited the polls. The election returns bring about considerable food for thought. First of all, the activities cf the Municipal league, and secondly, the vote on the aldermanic candidates, which was as follows: Peter J. DohertjT <..,.»«• -347 John R. Knox; .... 3*4 Albert Krause ..... .339 By the above it will be seen that of the 509 voters 162 failed to cast a vote on the aldermanic candidates. The vote on the clerkship and police magistrate office was as follows: For Village .' Wm. O. Schreiner ...,..,.289 Floyd E. Thompson .236 For Police Magistrate Earl Gorman .45 A. S. Plarks 19 Annual Mooting April 29 The annual meeting of the village council will take place on Friday evening, April 28, at which time the old board will close and the new board While there will be personnel of the board complied with, which means that the three re-elected members must be resworn before again taking their places. Appointmenta One of ike things which Will be watched with a feeling of great interest this spring will be the appointments for the coming year. It will be remembered that some of the mayor's last year's appointments did not go over and to satisfy the major ity of the board members certain changes were made necessary. Of course, an outsider hears or knows very little as to what the program is along those lines until the time comes for official appointments, hence the anxiety on the part of many to know what's doing. The appointments will, no doubt, be made public at the meeting of the council on Monday ovywpgi May 1. " " The Social Wheel The members of the Social Wheel met at the home of Mrs. J. C. Holly last Thursday afternoon. Games of various kinds made up a most enjoyable few hours. Among the games was one called "rope walking," in which some of the older ladies present came very near out-doing their younger ^sisters. The game occasioned much merriment" A delicious luncheon was" served at the close of the afternoon. The next meeting of the society will take place at the home of Mrs. Wm. Cowen at Harvard on Thursday, April 27. Tins will be an all day meeting and each member will be allowed to bring one guest Some of the members will arrange to make the trip via automobile, while others will go by rail, leaving McHenry on the 8:19 train. It is indeed gratifying to us and no doubt to many of our readers to learn that the C. & N. W. Railroad company has signified a willingness to assist in pushing McHenry and Fox river as a summer resort community. The company, beginning May 15 and up to Sept 30, will advertise and sell low rate tickets between Chicago and McHenry, something that has' never before been done in the history of McHenry, Thru the courtesy of Everett Hunter, president of the Everett Hunter Manufacturing company of this village, we herewith reproduce excerpts as taken from a letter as written by an official of the railroad company to Mr. Hunter: "Yob will be interested in knowing that our plans for the s\Mmer provide for the sale of season tickets from Chicago to McHenry and return daily from May 15 to September 30 at rate of $2.50 for the round trip, and rate of $2.45 for week end tickets on sale Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each week. May 15 to September 30 inclusive, return limit Monday following date of sale. "Last year the cost of a round trip, including tax, was $3.97, so you will see that this year the summer vacationist is going to be much better off. "It is hoped that these fares will be of benefit to all interested by developing a much larger volume of traffic. "We are glad to know that you have enlarged your facilities and hope that you will have a very successful season."

For nineteen hundred years the world has builded Christian churches. In these churches the world has maintained Christian worship for nineteen centuries and it a cost far beyond the comprehension of any human mind. Yet these churches have always been more or less out of touch with the world that built and maintained them and never so much so as today. Why should they live? The woild is modern. They are ancient. Why keep these antique things in a modern environment with which they cannot cope and at such tremendous cost? Mr. Grimes will discuss "The Churches and Modern Times" in a series of four ermons beginning next Sunday morning at the Universal is t church. The first will be on "The Churches and Modern Education." Crime records, politics and family life will be treated on the following three Sundays and in the order named. These discussions will be made worth hearing. No one will waste time by hearing them all. The services will be at eleven o'clock. Good music and an ntereeting and helpful time la 'assured. . • • Three More Homes C. W. Stenger, one of the members of tiie Owen, Stenger and Allen subdivision adjoining McHenry and having a long stretch of river frontage, informs us that the syndicate has been successful in the sale of three lots facing Crescent Ave. to George Frey of Ringwood, who expects to build on each of the lots during the coming summer. Work on the new homes will start at a very early date in the hope that they may be ready for occupancy before the close of the coming summer season. Quite a number of lots have already been disposed of in this new sub-division with the prospects that quite a number of new homes will be erected at this point during the present year. First Methodist Church The regular Sunday morning worship of the Methodist church will take place at the usual eleven o'clock hour. The music rendered by the choir has been of exceptionally high order lately and will add very materially to the worship period on Sunday. The sermon topic will deal with the Christian Hope. It will be a preliminary analysis of apocalyptic writings, looking toward an interpretation of the Book of Revelation. Theories of the second coming have been so preval«at that this discussion will be timely, His Twentieth Birthday ' Clarence Niesen celebrated his twentieth birthday anniversary last Saturday evening by entertaining a number of his friends at a "stag." At six o'clock a most delicious dinner was served the guests at the host's home on Riveride Drive, after which a very pleasant few hours were spent at music and other diversions.
