Beller of this village, thru their attorney, have taken up the matter of closing the old mill race with the Borden Milk company. These gentlemen, so we are informed, have also notified the local health board of their intentions so that .the latter board in turn may give due notice to those who may be dumping sewerage in the stream. Owners 6f the strip of land back of the Empire theatre "property and extending to Fox river, so we are told, declare that sewerage is now finding its^way to this stream from at least one or more sources and on account of this condition, the owners go on to say, there has been more or less of an odor along this stream for a number of years past and especially so during the warm, dry season of the summer months. The owners not only believe this stream to be an eyesore to the community, but injurious to health as well and it is for this as well as other reasons that they are now taking steps to have the stream filled up.' Our understanding is to the effect that an old agreement, of long standing, provides that a stream of water shall be kept constantly flowing thru this channel and in fulfillment of said ^agreement the milk concern has caused a large pipe to be laid from the mill pond to the entrance of said mill race or creek. This pipe was laid some years ago. The outcome of the action as started by the property owners, as mentioned above, will be watched with no mean ^mount of interest here.

While all of the things discussed at these meetings have not been brought to a full realization, much good has come out of these gatherings and as a natural consequence the members are .eager to continue the good work. A number of questions of vast to porta nee to our populace will come up for discussion at next Monday night's meeting and everyone interested in the future welfare and prosperity of McHenry and the community surrounding are urgently requested to be present on this occasion. As these open meetings are conducted only at intervals, the public general should respond at this opportunity to get together and talk over matters which at this time are of vital importance. Don't forget the place and date, Knights of Columbus hall, Monday evening, Nov. 13, at eight o'clock. lit Fox Lake on Tuesday evening last, week, when John Srachta, aged thirty-five, was shot by his brother, FVank, aged thirty-eight. The shooting which was done with a shot gun, took place at the home of the young men's father near' the Lippincott hotel. The victim of the shooting was rushed to the Lake County General hospital at Waukegan, while his brother was committeed to the Lake county jail. It is feared that the victim's life is seriously endangered His right leg, which was nearly torn from the body, may be amputated in an endeavjw to save his life* The citizens of Richmond are still hopeful of getting the Northwestern - Railroad company to build a new bridge over tike Broad street crossing in that village. The present bridge has but a 16% ft. clearance, while the law Requires a clearance of 21% feet. The railroad company proposed to repair and raise the present structure to the height as designated by law, but the people of Richmond and especially the property owners near-by do not like the idea at all. As * consequence the village board has engaged the services of Atty. David R. Joslyn of Woodstock in an endeavor to have their wishes gratified. What Richmond wants is a new bridge and instead of buildingsame five feet higher they request that the railroad pany lower their tracks so as to give them the required clearance. Is Entertained In Chicago Miss Marjorie Phalin of this village spent the week end in Chicago at the home of Miss Margarette Heilman. Mrs. Wm. Stube of Chicago was chaperon at a matinee Friday. A luncheon was given in Miss Phalin's honor on Saturday, the guests being Misses Colette Hurley, Estelle Blanchette, Mildred LaMolle, Violette Matthews and Carolyn Henning, a well known musician. All of these girls are students of St. Francis Xavier's academy of Chicago, Misses Phalin and Heilman being students of the academy last year. Attended Epworth League Rally A number from the M. E. church of this village attended a rally of the Epworth league as held at the M. E. Having signed the necessary papers giving them full authority to do so, the members of the board of local improvements met last Thursday evening and passed the sewerage resolution. The resolution as passed, together with the call for a public hearing, was in the hands of the printer on Friday and the notices were delivered to Atty. Pouse the first of the week. Same v«U <be mailed out to the property owners some time this week. According to the notice, the public hearing on the matter is scheduled to take place at the Empire theatre at two o'clock on Friday, Nov. 17,, 1922. This will be the third public hearing on the same proposition to be held in McHenry within the course of the past two years and it i\ the hope of everyone favoring the improvement that this will be the last. It is desired that an amiable settlement may be reached between the various factions here and that the Improvement will be given the village at the earl iest possible moment. As stated in these columns several times in the past several weeks, the greatest objection at this time is not against the installation of such a system, but the location of the disposal plant aftd purification tanks. There are still a number of our own residents as well as owners of sum mer resort property who object to the location of these tanks near the shore of Fox river and where the disposal, after going thru the purification system, will find its way into this stream. These objectors contend that no matter what sort of a system is put in the presence of same is sure to pollute the stream to a certain distance and extent. On the other hand, those who are pulling for the improvement as well as engineers who should be qualified to know tell us that the presence of such tanks near the shore of the river will have little or no effect upon the water aqd will in no manner prove injurious so far as health conditions are concerned. It is a known fact, however, that objectors to the location of the outlet have visited various cities and towns in this section of the state for the purpose of ascertaining the work ings of such systems and just what the objectionable features really are, Reports have it that these men who have taken it upon themselves to make the investigations are still of the belief that the present site is not the proper one for the tanks and that they will fight on until they have finally convinced the members of the board of local improvements that the disposal plant must go elsewhere besides the proposed site. One objector informs as that if the board of local improvements will grant the objectors this one point he believes that all other objections will be withdrawn and that the improvement will be allowed to go in without further delays. The public hearing is the proper place to thrash out all of these points and it is hoped that both factions will be on hand so that the question may be settled for once and >11 .time to come. OLD LEGISLATORS WINNERS church at Harvard on Thursday evenof last week. Those who made up the McHenry delegation and who report a most profitable as well as pleasant time were: Rev. Raymond Sanger, Mrs. Sanger, Mrs. W. D. Wentworth, Misses Doris and Lelah Bacon, Harriett Bobb, Lenore Cobb, Greeta and Louise Chamberlin, Kathleen Nordyke, Varina Wentworth and Mr. Romo Bobb. . Committees Meet Ft Way A meeting of the various committees which will have charge of St. Mary's church bazaar, to be held here the 1at*f part of the month, will take place at St Mary's parsonage on Friday evening of this week, at which time it is expected that plans will be formulated for the bedding of ft* Uf annual event. D--fait Social A basket social, to which a oordial invitation is extended to everyone, will take place at the Lincoln school, east of McHenry, next Saturday evening, Nov. 11. Program at eight o'clock. Math. P. Frevnd, T« bars oft the board of local improvements, Simon Stoffel, John R. Knox and R. I. Overton of this village, together with Messrs. Wells And Ashley of the Wells Engineering company of Aurora, met representatives of the newly formed So\ith Fox River Improvement association at the office of Atty. B. F. Langworthy in the First National bank building in Chicago last Friday afternoon. The purpose of the meeting was to talk over, in a friendly manner, the matter of the location of the proposed sewerage disposal plant in this vil- The location for the proposed pl&r.t, as has been told on various occasions thru the columns of The Plaindealer, is on the F. A. Beller property just east of the foot of Waukegan street. It has been the belief of resoiters owning property and residing south of the river bridge that the location of the disposal plant on the proposed site would not only be a detriment to their holdings, but would also prove decidedly injurious from a viewpoint of health. These people have labored under the impression that the location, of the disposal plant will mean the pollution of the Fox river in front of their respective holdings. A decision was finally reached at last Friday's meeting whereby the representatives of the South Fox River Improvement association agreed to look into the matter thoroly, consult a reputable engineer and in this manner ascertain just what effect a disposal plant would have on the stream. It was further agreed that the association, in case they found that such disposal plant would not prove an injury to their holdings and the genopd health of the residents along that stretch of the river, as a body, would recommend the withdrawal of all objections to the location of the disposal tanks. The members of the local board as well as Atty. Langworthy and the representatives of the Wells Engineering company expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with these agreements. The findings of the committee representing the above named association will report at a meeting to be held in Chicago some time this week, when it will be definitely decided whether or not further objections may bo looked for from this source. The delegation representing the summer home owners appeared very fair in the matter and wished to have it understood that they did not mean to stand in the way .of the improvements for the village of McHenry. However, they did feel that their own interests should be given the consideration rightly due them. The findings of the committee representing the South Fox River Improvement association will be anxiously awaited by a small army of sewerage boosters and we hope to be able to give our readers their decision in next week's issue of this paptfr. FRANCIS IS HIGH MAN IN DISTRICT JUDGE KAYANAGH HERE Appears In Second Number of tainment Course Jl&-y a.c if ltTtfcw . • '• vVHVpY»t MNi - ' tVHMBi^kI Strength Over District--Complimentary Vote For Miss Pry or In common with the state in general the bonus and beer and light wine issues won a sweeping victory in McHenry county at Tuesday's election. In the legislative fight, which held file center of interest in this, the eighth, district, Charles F. Hayes of Harvard, the Democratic candidate, sprung a big surprise by his unthought- for strength over the district. Atty. Charles H. Francis of Woodstock, who did such splendid work for the dairy and farm interests during his first term at Spwngfield, was given a big vote over the entire district. In fact, he was high man. The vote, as supplied The Plaindealer this (Thursday) morning on the legislative fight and which, with the exception c3f Boone county, is official, follows: Lake ....7464 16841% 8224 6759% Boone ....5607 1270 2546 1383 McHenry .4602 2876% 9457 6993 Totals: Pierce, 17,563; Weiss, 19,- 488; Francis, 20,227; Hayes, 15,135%.

Veto en School Soperintendency Miss Dake 5155 Miss Pryor 1679 Needless to say that the ex-service men are more than elated over their overwhelming victory of the bonus and are thankful for the support given the question by voters of the copnty. Miss Pryor Grateful Altho few knew of her candidacy, I and in view of the fact that she failed to wage an active campaign, Miss Blanche Pryor of McHenry is truly grateful to her friends here in McHenry as well as thruout the county who voted for her on Tuesday. Had her friends known of her candidacy before the election we feel quite certain that she could have won oat. How McHenry Voted The vote in the three local precincts, altho comparatively light, brought forth several surprises. For instance, in the legislative race, Chas. F. Hayes, Democratic candidate of Harvard, ran second with a total of 464% votes. Atty. Chas. H. Francis of Woodstock led the field with 689% votes, while Pierce and Weiss ran third and fourth respectively. Quite a contrast from the spring primary held last April, when Pierce ran high with 940 votes, Francis second with 719%, while Billy Weiss of Waukegan was accorded about thirtyfive more votes at the election than at the primary. Evidently many of ITEMS OF LOCAL • It is rarely that a town of this size is giveb the honor of having as a guest such a nationally distinguished orator as Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh, who appeared at the Empire theatre in the second number of Mc- Henry's lyceum couse «n Monday evening of this week. The speaker proved to be all and even more than has been expected. Very seldom has a McHenry audience given a speaker the rapt attention accorded the well known and honored Chicago jurist. The truth about law, courts and criminals was expounded in a manner that kept his listeners in an attentive and highly interested mood tjhruout. Summing Hp various cases that had come up before him as well as in other courts, he showed how technicalities in law are staving conviction with such a marked regularity nowadays that something must be done to remedy this condition. Comparing the crime of this country* with that of Europe, he almost made one feel that h£ was living in an uncivilized age. The percentage of crime in the United States is so much greater than in my one European country. He recommended more simplified laws, the electing of sound minded business men and farmers to our state and national offices and to the parents just a bit more discipline in the home. It was an address just a bit different from those generally heard from a lecture platform and left with the audience much food for thought. Most beautiful and highly pleasing vocal numbers by Miss Dorothy Knox and Mrs. J. C. Holly preceded the speaker, who was introduced by Rev. ;M. J. McEvoy, pastor of Sx. Patrick's church,' in his usual pleasing manner. PLANNING ANOTHER TREE AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WEEK w • •' !\if Another Community Christmas Tree Is Practically Assured First Univerealist Church Once we considered the business the Christian to be the world's salvation. Now we have found that the world is not lost--that the hell to which God was supposed to consign his wayward children is only a figment of our own imagination, and this discovery has left many Christians without a job.x The old fashioned preacher of the gospel of salvation is no more and the laymen who copied his mistakes are asking, "What shall we do?" If the purpose of the death of Jesus Christ, the business of the church and the work of the Christian is not the saving of souls, then what is there left? "What Shall We Do?" This will be the subject of next Sunday morning's sermon. The Sunday school meets at 10:00 o'clock and the church service at 11:00.' Everybody A committee, headed by Mrs. C. W Goodell, which by its untiring efforts gave the little folks of McHenry and the surrounding rural territory their first community Christmas tree last year, has already started activities which, it is hoped, will provide an other such happy occasion tor the children during the coming Yuletide season. One manner of securing, the funds which will make such arfv occasion possible will be the holding o$>an entertainment some time in the very near future, the proceeds of which will go into a fund which is to defray the expense of a community tree. Just when this entertainment will be given has not as yet been decided, altho the committee in charge is hopeful that it will be some time this What People Are Doing In Thfc V*- lage and the Immediate VidaJty-^' --Other Short Paragraphs Teaming of all kinds.

According to those interested in .the movement, McHenry at this time possesses some very fine talent and a club could be formed without much effort. Needless to say that the people of this community would welcome and support such a society. Who Will Get the $5.M b Gold The West McHenry State bank will award a $5.00 gold piece to the student in the McHenry public school who guesses nearest the number of coins that passed thru the automatic receiving teller in the school during the past year. Tfce announcement was made in the school by Miss Ellen Walsh as a representative at the bank on Wedneday. First Methodist Church Sunday opens Win-My-Chum week for our young people and the attention of the church will be centered in this worlj from the twelfth thru the nineteenth of this month. The sermon subject will be in line with the thought of Win-My-Chum activities, its title being "The Greater Blindness." The Epworth league service will begin at 6:30 and an invitation to attend is extended to all. The Sunday school will meet at its usual ten o'clock hour. The splendid work being done speaks of the earnest cooperation of all the teachers and scholars. Monday afternoon, Nov. 13, at four o'clock is the time of the first quarterly conference for the church year and all board members are asked to attend. Entertained at Cards Ifrs. H. Kasch very delightfully entertained a company of neighbors and friends at cards at her home on the corner of Pearl and Court streets on Tuesday evening of this week. High honors of the evening went to Mrs. Math. Steffes, "second high to Mrs. Jos. Schneider, third to Mrs. H. L. Ritter and fourth to Mrs. Fred Schneider. * Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess at the dose of the games. Johnoburg Announee* Fair ' The pastor and parishioners of St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburg announce the dates for the holding of their ^nnual fair, which is to take place at the parish hall on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, Nov. 26, 28 and 30. One of the special features this year will be music by the McHenry Military band on Thanksgiving day. More particulars will appear in these columns in later issues. Watch for than. on Tuesday. Another surprise "sprung" oft the voters at Tuesday's election was the candidacy of Miss Blanche Pryor for the county superintendency of schools. Not until the sample ballots made their appearance in McHenry just a few days prior to the election were our people (with possibly a very few exceptions) aware of the fact that she was a candidate. Had the voters known of her candidacy in time it is certain that Miss Pryor would have been given a very high compliment by the voters of McHenry township. Miss Pryor is very well qualified to fill such a position and we daresay would have made an excellent head for the county's school system. Still another surprise came in the third precinct, where an unusually large Democratic vote was polled. This precinct gave O'Bierne, the Democratic candidate for congress, a lead of eight votes over Reid, the Republican nominee. Reid, however, carried the town by more than 150 votes. The third also gave Charley Hayes a splendid endorsement with a total of 268 votes. A total of 718 votes were cast in the three precincts. The first, or Ringwood precinct, polled 144; the second, or village hall, 281/ and the third, Riverside Drive, 293. The vote follows: ' FOR STATE TREASURER^ 1st 2nd 3rd Total Nelson, R. .. 75 148 10® 827 Bartzen, D. . 9 46 86 189 FOR SUFT.

Those who attended and enjoyed McHenry's first community Christmas tree and program have not forgotten the joy and happiness it gave to scores of our little people. All of these and many more, we are sure, are willing to co-operate with the committee in once more affording such an occasion this year. The committee will be pleased to receive any donations and those having money or articles which they wish to contribute may notify and leave same with Mrs. Goodell, who has charge of the community tree funds. The Plaindealer believes that the community tree spirit is a most beautiful one and should have the sincere co-operation of everyone residing within the village and community. Watch these columns for announcement of the date for the holding of the entertainment. Sold Farm Near IngMds John Schaid, who recently disposed of his eighty acre farm, known as the Nick Roos place, and located near Ingleside, will hold an auction there on Tuesday, Nov.-21. The purchaser of the farm is Henry Schaefer, also a resident of that neighborhood. Mr. Schaid has engaged his services to George J. Sayer and will be employed on ode of the letter's farms after the sale. A few fans from this village witnessed the Elgin-Aurora foot ball game at Elgin last Sunday afternoon. of that country, where they expect to remain until early next spring. In observance of Armistic day,, both of the banks in this village will be closed all day Saturday. Patrons should bear this fact in mind and do > their banking tomorrow (Friday).
