His death came shortly after midnight on Wednesday, Aug. 16, at 12:80 a. m, Until Saturday Francis was able to be about, bearing uncomplainingly the distress of an incurable ailment, revealed in the operation. The young man rallied from the anesthetic and recognized parents and loved ones who were present, only to sink again rapidly, death relieving the patient sufferer. Francis John Frisby, second eldest of four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Frisby, who reside south of this village, was born in McHenry on July 15, 1903, attaining the age of 19 years and 1 month. He was educated in the McHenry schools, graduating with the class of "21, and was the soul of honor with both teachers and classmates. He was the first of eight children to answer the call of his Maker. He is survived by his parents, four sisters and three brothers, namely: Mrs. Geo. Kuntsman, Mrs. Herman Schaefer, Thomas, Mary, Ellen, James and George, Jr., all of whom reside here. The remains were brought from Chicago on Wednesday evening and taken to the farm home on Terra Cotta road south of this village, from whence the funeral was held on Friday morning. The largest procession ever recorded in St Patrick's parish followed the remains to St. Patrick's church, where he had received the sacrament of baptism. Mass was read by the pastor, Rev. M. J. Mc- Evoy, who also preached the funeral sermon, taking for his text "Thy will be done." Though the life of this young man was cut short, he demonstrated unassumingly that which constitutes exemplary Catholic manhood. He was a faithful member of the Holy Name society and no Sunday assigned to this group found him missing from the communion rail and in the beautiful sermon the devout pastor exhorted the young men of the parish to profit by his example. Many tributes to the memory of Francis Frisby are heard on all sides, which mint prove a balm to the fond parents,- brothers and sisters who were so suddenly bereft of a devoted n and brother. » Favorite companions of his were chosen as pall bearers. They were Howard and George Phalin, Harold Knox, Leo Conway, Harold Portman and Wm. Erwin, who tenderly bore the remains to the cemetery adjoining the church. Beautiful floral aad spiritual bouquets were sent, each bearing sympathy to the family. Card of Thanks Words cannot express the gratitude we feel toward friends and neighbors who gave us every assistance possible during the sickness and death of our beloved son and brother, Francis. : Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Frisby St ~ . and Family.

E. C. Rockwell of Chicago _ has promised the association that* he will be present to talk to the dairymen on matters that are of vital interest to each and every one. This meeting, so we are told, hasn't any connection with the Milk Marketing company so the dairymen may feel free to attend without the fear of being asked to sign any sort of contracts. The McHenry local is extending invitations to a number of the neighboring units with the hope that the meeting will develop into one of the largest of tibe kind held in this village in years.

Wilis .First Event--Maxiae Raae and Antoinette FV Ran Pretty Race In Second Before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds that has witnessed any of the Fox River ft Lakes Improvement association's programs this season two interesting races were pulled off over the Fox river course here last Sunday afternoon. While the entries to the events were sort of a disappointment to the officials, the spectators were more than pleased at their opportunity of watching these speedy water craft in action. Both races started and finished at Justen's pier, where scores of lovers of the sport were gathered to watch them go. The course was up to Pistakee lake and back. The first race was won by the Helen C., owned by J. H. Chapp of the Yacht Club Bohemia, Fox Lake. She took the lead over her two competitors, the Milford and Beatrice, almost from the very start and retained same thruout the entire race, finishing some distance ahead of these two craft The Milford finished second and Beatrice last Before the first race and between that and the afternoon's second event quartet from the Yacht Club Bohemia, Fox Lake, rendered some very fine selections, all of which helped very materially in keeping the crowd good natured. The quartet's efforts were received with a hearty applause. The second race of the afternoon, between the Maxine Rose, owned by W. F. Marggraf of Long Lake, and the Antoinette IV, owned by W. E. Cooper of Channel Lake, was won by the former in one of the closest and most spectacular races witnessed on these waters in years, the winning boat crossing the line about a half boat's length ahead of the Antoinette. The Maxine Rose was in the lead as the two speed craft passed under the bridge on their way out, but the Antoinette soon overtook and then passed her, retaining the lead all the way to and around the buoy in Pistakee lake. The two boats were running almost side by side the entire course on their return trip, giving the spectators along the shores one of the greatest thrills they have ever experienced. This will be the only event of this kind to be held oter the Fox river course this Reason and those who missed it missed one of the biggest treats offered the people of McHenry and the Fox river in years. Heard Sapiro In Chicago Richard B. Walsh of this village was among those from McHenry county Who attended the meeting of the Illinois Bankers' association at the Morrison hotel in Chicago last Thursday afternoon, the McHenry man attending as a representative of the West McHenry State bank of this place. The purpose of the meeting was to listen to an address given by Aaron Sapiro in the interest of the MUk Marketing company. The speaker^ old the bankers the condition of the Milk Marketing company and the attitude of the producers toward the new plan and further explained how the bankers ctrnld be of assistance in accomplishing the desired end. Undoubtedly there were some in the audience who were impressed by the speaker's talk, but, according to our information, many of th<we present apparently felt more or less indifferent concerning the new contract that is now being offered the dairymen of this section. While the officials of the marketing company are hopeful of winning out, the dairymen in McHenry county, especially in the McHenry territory, are hesitating about signing up. Our First Ride In Speed Boat Thru the courtesy of Geo. F. Kramer, member of the firm of Kramer & Mueller, local boat builders, ye scribe was given his first ride in a speed boat on our beautiful Fox on Wednesday morning of this week. The ride was taken in the Antoinette IV, owned by W. E. Cooper of Channed Lake. The craft is equipped with a six cylinder Hall-Scott engine and is capable of developing 150 h. p. The craft was built by Kramer ft Mueller last spring and was delivered to the owner the fore part of July. The boat is not only fast, but beautiful as well, and our first experience behind a 150 h. p. motor was a pleasing one we can assure all.

MAI COfflUG NEXT STROIG WORK STARTED AT SCHOOL Will Have to Hustle to Complete Temporary Quarters Work on the new three room temporary quarters for the McHenry community high school was started last Saturday and since that time carpenters employed on the job have been fairly on the jump in theia endeavor to have the building ready for occupancy by Sept 4, which marks the beginning of the fall and winter term. The material for the structure arrived sqpner than had been anticipated as it had been feared by school officials that a delay would surely be experienced in its arrival on account of the railroad strike. Fortunately, however, everything is now on the grounds and with favorable weather the structure should be ready, if not by the opening day, then surely before the end of the first Week in September. As the new quarters will be used for library and class purposes, they will not be equipped with seat^ but chairs will be used in their stetoli Auditors' Meeting Notice is hereby given that the Board of Auditors of the Town of McHenry, County of McHenry, 111., nois, will meet at the town clerk's office in West McHenry, 111., on the 5th day of September, A.

Bills may be left with the supervisor of the town of McHenry or the undersigned. Dated this 23rd day of August, A. D, 1922. " Chas. B. Harm sen, ll-2t Town Clark. Mrs. J W. Schaffer a Winner Mrs. John W. SchaflLr, wife of the owner and proprietor of the McHenry1 garage on Pearl street, was declared the winner of first prise for dealers' heavy cars at the ladies' auto driving exhibition in front of the grand stand at the McHenry county fair last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Schaffer drove a sport model Cleveland Six, for which her husband has the agency, and those from McHenry who saw her drive insist that she was the best woman driver on the trade. Church Walls Going Up Rapidly The walls at the new St. Patrick's Catholic church are going up very rapidly and with two more weeks of good weather this part of the big structure should be completed. The chapel walls are already up, while the roof is now being completed. The contractor is doing everything within his power in order to have the structure enclosed long before the advent of freezing weather. At this time it SURVEYS AND PLANS TO ' COMPLETED AT ONCE BE Gaal and Railroad Strikes Prevent Letting of Contract This Fall- Work to Start In Spring It is with a feeling of deep regret that we learn from very authentic sources that the much needed Volo- McHenry road will not be cemented this year. This report comes to The Plaindealer from Mayor Simon Stoffel, representing the village of McHenry, and C. E. Carson of Pistakee Bay, chairman of the good roads committee of the Fox River ft Lakes Improvement association, who recently visited Springfield in the interest of the Volo-McHenry as well as McHenry- Woodstock roads. These two gentlemen report that they were most courteously received at Springfield by Governor Small, Mr. Frank Sheets, Mr. Clifford Older, Mr. Garrison and others who are at the head of the state highway department Among other information given our two delegates was the state ment that an error had been made in first surveying the road from Woodstock to McHeqry instead of from Volo to McHenry, which stretch is much more in need of improvement than the first mentioned one, altho McHenry people as well as the traveling public are eager for the completion of the entire stretch from Volo to Woodstock. Governor Small as well as the state highway department assured the McHenry gentlemen that the surveys and plans for these two stretches of road will be completed at once so as to place the state in a position to go to work on them as soon as. weather will permit them to do so next spring. On account of the coal, labor and railroad strikes it is utterly impossible to do anything on route 20 this fall. They were further assured that the state highway department would immediately get in touch with the county highway commissioners of both McHenry and Lake county with a request that the Volo-McHenry stretch of road be placed in the very best possible condition for travel the coming fall and winter. That the Mc- Henry-Volo stretch will be the first to be given attention next spring is the firm belief of Messrs. Stoffel and Carson. The two delegates, representing the village of McHenry and this summer resort district, agreed to take an active part in securing the right of way over the proposed route. Just how much right of way it will be necessary to obtain remains to be seen, but will be known just as soon as all surveys and plans have been completed. This information will be in the hands of oujr committee in due time, when the work of securing the right of way will be started. Governor Small exhibited a sincere interest in the McHenry district and the people of this community as well as the traveling public should appre ciate the fact that the governor is doing his very best It is now up to the people of this community to give the head of our state as well as the state highway department every co-operation at our command and when the time comes for signing up the right of way we trust that everyone concerned will look at the matter fa) the right light and thus expediate this end of the work. We also trust that highway officials of the two counties will immediately get busy on the Volo-McHenry stretch so that this road will be in good condition for travel thruout the fall and winter months.
