Kegebein is now manager of the Crystal Lake mill of the Mc- Henry County Farmers' Co-operative association, having entered upon his new duties last week. At the present time there are about 1,800 men in training at the Great Lakes Naval Training, station near Waukegan. Trained sailors are being sent to Bea at the rate of about 150 a week. According to Mayor Earle R. Kelley of Elgin, fifty Woodstock families are desirous of locating in the Watch city, where employment is said to be more plentiful than at the McHenry county seat city. Matthew McRoberts of Chemung expects an output of three tons of clover and buckwheat honey this season. He has already obtained two tons and estimates at least another ton before the end of the season. The city council at Harvard is investigating the "wheel tax"' law >as now in operation in a number of cities and towns in McHenry county. Harvard expects soon to institute^ an ordinance which will give that icity the additional revenue as may result from such a law. Atty. Charles T. Allen and Ralph B. Powers, the latter president of the village board of Cary, have purchased the old Kleslo property across the river from the Norge Ski club and •re subdividing the property into thirty lots. The new subdivision is to be known as Oak Grove. L. B. Palmer, a Harvard attorney who was held up and robbed of a gold watch and chain, diamond pin and $25 in money in Chicago on Jan. 18 last, has just been notified that his watch has been found in a pawn shop in the metropolitan city. Atty. Palmer now feels that the diamond will also be found and returned to him. In view of the fact that the Cary lease does not expire for another eleven years the Norge Ski club had to turn down Lake Geneva's offer to move the ski to that city. However, Lake Geneva is determined to have a ski, a movement for the organization of a ski club and the building of a slide being now under way. .George Mann, aged f<jr*y, was adjudged insane in Judge Perrjf L\ Person's court at Waukegan last Saturday and was taken to the Northern Illinois hospital at Elgin for treatment that afternoon.

Mundelein; Catholic bishop of Chicago, hasfiled an appeal in the supreme court at Springfield from the county court of Lake county in the case brought against him by Ira E. PearsaH, county treasurer and ex-officio county collector of Lake county, in which the county court entered judgment against the archbishop for delinquent taxes on 466 acres of land occupied by tile Catholic Archdiocesan seminary at Area, Lake county. The property in question is the site of the St. Mary of the Lake seminary, in which young men are trained for the priesthood. Churches are exempt from taxation, but in this case it was held that this did not come under the same category and the county judge who was called upon to pass on this matter held that taxes should be paid on it. The archbishop wants the highest to rule on the matter. b> watched with much interest. ATTY. POUSE STARTS CAMPAIGN LOCAL CANDIDATE FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY A BUST BOOST Atty. A. H. Pouse of this city, wnio some months ago announced his candidacy for the state's attorneyship of McHenry county, has started out on his campaign and from now until the spring primaries he will be one of the busiest young men in this county. Altho he has visited practically every town and community in McHenry county, the real grind of this, worthy young attorney still lies beyond. His first round of the county was made for the sole purpose of acquainting himself wttii the men who are most active in the political life and henceforth it will be his aim to personally meet and shake hands with the voters in general. He is very well satisfied with his preliminary work and the splendid manner in which he has been received by those with whom he has already talked regarding his candidacy and when once he has effected a real working organization we may expect some honest-to-goodness hustling. Atty. Pons*, thru his extensive law practice as well as his connection with McHenry county Legion work, is already quite well known thruout the county. His friends, especially among the Legion men, are many. Here in his home city he is a most popular young man. He has always taken an active part in the civic betterment of his own city and community and has never been found wanting when it came to putting over something that was really worth while. He is a good mixer, a fine fellow and a real fighter. Is thoroly capable of discharging the duties connected with the important office he now seeks at the hands of the voters and if elected will give everyone a square deal. McHenry will give him local support and every one of his hundreds of friends in this community Is going to give him every assistance at their command. McHenry, like other communities of the county, feels that it is time for someone outside of Woodstock to hold at least one county office. McHenry has not been so favored in a great many years, and only a few times in the history of the county. Our city now has an opportunity of sending a man to Woodstock and at the same time honoring a World war vet who is worthy of the undivided- support of everyone in the township. Let's help him. In speaking of Atty. Pouse's visit to that city, last week's Harvard Herald had the following to say: "Alfred H. Pouse, McHenry young lawyer who wants to be state's attorney, has put in several days this week in Harvard in the interest of his candidacy for the state's attorneyship nomination in the Republican party primary next April. "The aspirant for the county prosecutor's job is accompanied by his life partner, Mrs. Pouse, a bright and attractive young woman who has met a number in this city In conjunction with her husband. Pouse & Pouse make a good team and they ought to prove effective campaigners, say those who have met them for the first time. She is a clever little woman, much interested in bar husband aa • matter of course. " 'Yon may state that I am a state's attorneyship candidate and that I intend to make as thoro a canvass of McHenry county as possible between now and primary day,'" said Mr. Pouse to Hie Herald yesterday morning before leaving Harvard. He added that he will feel grateful to voters for their consideration of his candidacy and that he hopes to meet them personally during the next few months. Mr. Pouse was a practicing attorney at McHenry when the World war broke out. He closed his law office, enlisted and served overseas until the armistice was signed. He has been active in all affairs for ex-service men and has taken a prominent part in matters relating to the American Legion organization. "He is a competent lawyer, has a growing practice at McHenry and is well thought of among members of the bar and laymen as well. People who meet him for the first time lijte him while those who have known him for years are his staunch advocates "Wm. M. Carroll, assistant state's attorney and law partner of State's Attorney Lumley, will bo the oppon ent of Mr. Pouse. Both are young men well known and of good repute.' 3?. BgTKR'S CHURCH ' FAIR AT SPRING GROVE CtMBfflNCOf ROAD EXPECTED JO START AT YOLO THIS MORNING St. Peter's parish at Spring Grove will hold a one day fair at that place next Sunday, Sept. 30, afternoon and evening. A^chicken dinner \ will be served to adults at 60 and children 35 cents per plate. There will also be a supper. The McHenry band will provide the music for the occasion and all of the ether attractions which usually go to make Up an occasion of this kind court I will be there. The general public of The result will this community is invited to partici- 85 MEN ARE NOW EMPLOYED ON McHENRY-VOLO STRETCH OF ROUTE 20 The J. J. Dunnigan Construction company now has its full equipment and about eighty-five men at work on the McHenry-Volo stretch of route 20 and with favorable weather conditions this stretch of road should be complete before snow flies. * Grading and the building of culverts has been going on along this stretch for several weeks past and, according to word received by The Plaindealer, it is the plan to start the laying of cement this (Thursday) morning. The road building outfit employed on the job has a capacity of laying -600 feet of cement per day, altho it is not expected that such a speed can be maintained day after day. Many rumors have been spread regarding cement road construction since the start of activities along this line in this community. One rumor had it that the state will not allow any cement laying after the 15th of October. This report is untrue and without foundation say those who art connected with the work. According to officials of the Dunnigan company their men will be kept on the job just as long as weather conditions will permit and it is their hope and desire to have the McHenry-Volo road entirely completed before weather conditions become such as to make road building impossible. The grading on thia particular stretch has been completed as far as the James Haverin place, located at the northwest end of Lily lake, and, judging from the progress that has and is now being made, it will only be a matter of a short time before the entire grading job will have been completed. Recent rains, quite naturally, have caused quite serious delays, but in spite of this handicap the work has 'progressed as favorably as could be expected under the conditions, and if the present brand of weather will remain for another few weeks the public may expect to Bee very rapid advancement, both as to grading and laying of the cement. The big gravel crasher, located on the Weingart farm, is now operating at top speed and everything connected with the road building program is going along in a magtaystematic manner. 6 The West Stretch Over on the west stretch of route 20, between Sherman's Hill and Thompson's corners, grading and the laying of cement is going on nicely at this time. While the contractor does not expect to complete the entire distance he is hopeful, however, of finishing the cement construction . as far as Thompson's corners this fall and with an early start next spring should have the entire job completed before the advent of the heavy summer traffic of 1924. Gierts A Sons of Elgin, who have the contract for this section, have considerable work ahead and it is therefore only natural to expect them to do everVthing within their power to complete this section as early as it is physically possible. Traveling Public Is Anxious The traveling public is especially anxious for the completion of the McHenry-Volo stretch, as this part of route 20 is one of the worst in this section during early spring. The completion of this road this fall will mean a great deal to McHenry next summer, as it is sure to bring the heaviest travel this way that our community has ever witnessed. Summer home owners at Pistakee Bay and along Fox river here are HOY HEARING CONTINUED ASKED FOR CHANGE OF VENUE SCOURT MONDAT ; Fremont Hoy and his two' "sons, Clarence and Kenneth, were arraigned in the McHenry oounty circuit court at Woodstock on Monday ifiorning of this week and entered pleas of not guilty to the various counts on which they were indicted some months ago in connection with their activities involving the Fox River Valley State bank of this city and the Ringwood State bank of Ringwood. k At the same time the three defendants entered a petition for a change of venue, but action on the petition was continued until Oct. 27. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley is given the interval in which to file an answer to the petition. The defendants were represented by their attorneys, William Pierce of Belvidere and F. B. Bennett of Woodstock. Their petition for a change of venue alleged that they believe they cannot get a fair trial in McHenry county because of antagonistic popular opinion. A number of McHenry people were present in court at Woodstock Monday morning when the case was called. $10 IN GOLD FOR THE BEST RBVI ROAD ISSUECARRIED VOTERS EXPRESS THEMSELVES FOR WAUKEGAN ROAD 538 VOTES WERE CAST AT SPECIAL ELECTION HELD WEDNESDAY If the state highway department will abide by the-decision of the vote as cast at Wednesday's election the McHenry section of route 20 is sure to pass thru our municipality over Waukegan road. On the other hand, if the decision of the voters is ignored the battle remains the same as it did prior to Wednesday. A total of 538 votes were' cast as follows: Tw No City hall, MeSenry 828 33 Engeln building, McHenry.. 61 154 Woodman hall Ringwood... 69 9 TOn dollars in gold Is the prise offered the high school student of McHenry submitting the best review of the five numbers which are to constitute the McHenry lyceum course. The contest for this well worth prize is open to all students of the McHenry community high school and the judges as well as committee in charge of the course anticipate lively competition for the prize offered. The reviews are to be submitted immediately after the close of the last number and competent judges are to be named who will make the award. Since last week the committee has:j<&fco decided that instead of publishing the names of the patrons of the course thru the columns of The Plaindealer, a printed list containing the names of season ticket holders will be handed out at the door of St. Patrick's hall on the evening of the first entertainment, which takes place oh Saturday evening, Oct. 13, with the Montague light opera singers as the attraction. The committee is of the belief that the general public has a right to know the names of the patrons of the coming lyceum course and therefore this method of publicity. ST. PATRICK'S PARISH HAS AN ASSISTANT Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic church of this city, has been given an assistant. The new pastor, Rev. John Hackett, who only recently arrived in this country from Waterford, Ireland, took up his duties as assistant to Father McEvoy last week. The constant growth of St. Patrick's parish has made this an absolute necessity. The work of the local as well as St. Joseph's parish at Richmond, over which the McHenry priest also has jurisdiction, has reached such a stage as to prove too great a burden for one priest and needless to say that Rev. McEvoy is very much pleased over the action of Bishop Muldoon in giving him the much needed help of an assistant. Two masses are now read at St. Patrick's parish every week day morning, the first of these being at 7:00 and the last at 7:30. The Sunday services will remain as heretofore, first mass at 8:00 and high mass at 10:00 o'clock. , BIG MARMON TOURING - CAR IN CORN FIELD Nels Pierson, who occupies a farm on the Barreville road south of this city, is wondering whether or not ge|^oMynarit< him a present of a big --j , JfflJP^touring car.

In short, it is expected that the completion of this road will bring our summer guests out much earlier next spring. NEXT DANCE AT JOHNSBURG OCT. S |pat» in the day's enjoyment. The next dance at Jonas' hall, Johnsburg, will take place on Wednesday evening of next week, Oct. 3. The Fox River Five will again provide the music for the occasion and the public is cordially invited to attend. The patrons of the Johnsburg hall are well pleased with the manner In which the new proprietor is conducting his place and a big crowd is certain to turn out next Wednesday night. Tickets, 90 cents; war tax, 10 cents; total, $1.00. ANOTHER HARDWARE A card in the window of the Owen store building on Green street, recently vacated by the John J. Vycital hardware, rejwds that the place will soon be re-opened by John Brda as a first-class tinshop and hardware store. Radiator repairing will also be done. Mr. Brda, during the past summi has occupied the quarters between that place and Niesen's grocery. about ready for the junk heap, was found in a corn field on the farm occupied by Mr. Pierson one morning recently.. Woodstock authorities were i^ptified of the find, while advertising means have been used in an attempt to locate the ov^ner of the car, but without results. It looks as if someone had taken this means of disposing of the car in order to collect the insurance, or it may have been a theft The motor of the car, when found, appeared to be in first-class order, altho the balance of the machine is more or less of a wreck. FIRSt UNI VERS ALIST CHURCH The First Universalist church of McHenry will open for this year on Sunday, Oct. 7, with Mr. John M. Grimes in charge of the services. To all those interested in the welfare of the church we extend a most cordial invitation on this day. Please arrange to be present. James B. Perry, * / Henry Stephenson, ,r John F.

W"*' i,: WOODSTOCK GETS CONVENTION Totals 342 196 As will be seen by the above, it was the vote of the west end of town that put over the Waukegan road route, altho Ringwood assisted very materially in giving that location the handsome majority it received. While the result of the vote was not so much of a surprise, it was the number who turned out at the polls which caused considerable wonder to many who had not looked for such a big turnout. Prior to the election it appeared to be the general opinion that the turnout of voters would be comparatively small, but the actual result gave plain evidence that much work had been done by the boosters for the route which has thus won out. One of the real surprises was "sprung" at Ringwood, where out of a total of seventy-eight votes only nine voted "no," the balance declaring themselves as favoring the Waukegan road. Another surprise came with the interest as displayed by many of the rural residents of the township. As a matter of fact these people apparently were more interested in the result of the election then were many who reside within the city limits of McHenry. » Why the city of McHenry did not turn out a larger vote remains a mat ter of conjecture. Some had ex pressed themselves prior to the election that the result would mean little or nothing to the powers at Springfield and therefore failed to register their votes. Others appeared to display that "don't care" spirit and these also failed to visit the polls. No matter what attitude the state may take, the fact remains that there wa§ general rejoicing in the west end of town on Wednesday night, while those residing in Centerville and old town were anything but happy. Should the state abide by the decision of the voters of Wednesday the road location is not only assured,, but second bridge over Fox river as well. There are few in this community who will not admit that a second bridge over the Fox would prove a good thing, in fact, a necessity with the present day traffic. However, there are still quite a number who contend that the Waukegan road route will not serve the greatest number. As we see it, it's the state's move this time and the people of this community will await the decision of Springfield officials with great inter- That the people in general are*ired of waiting is certain and that it la up to the state to make a decision soon is the opinion of many. FLYER GIVES US PLENTY OF 4HRILLS Aycoung aviator, whogave his home as Houston, Texas, gave our natives plenty of thrills last Saturday and Sunday when he made passenger flights from a field just south of the McHenry Country club. The young man, who claims nine years actual flying experience and who saw service during the late war, carried up quite a number of passengers during his two days' stay here. On Sunday afternoon, especially, did he find the business good at this point, the last flight having been made some time after sunset. He seemed to be able to do anything in the way of flying, his daring stunts attracting much attention. It is understood that he will return to McHenry next Sunday, when passengers will again be taken up. NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS OF LADIES* AID SOCIETY At the last regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church now officers were elected for the year beginning in October. Those who were chosep were as follows. Mrs. F' E. Cobb, president; Mrs. A. C. Reynolds, vice president; Mrs. Chas. Ensign, secretary; Mrs. G. H. Kuhn, treasurer. The next regular meeting Vill be held on Thursday afternoon of fiext week at the parsonage. Now showing a fine li«a of ladies' and Erickson's. R. If. A. CONVENTION HELD ' ttERE WEDNESDAY S The eighth annual McHenry county Royal Neighbor convention took place at Stoffel's hall in this city on Wednesday of this week and brought out a very good attendance. The hall was very prettily decorated for the occasion in white and purple, together with a profusion of flowers. The officers of the convention, assisted by the decoration committee, were responsible for the very inviting appearance of the place. Every one of the camps in McHenry county, with the exception of Cary and Solon Mills, were represented at the convention, while a number of visitors from Chicago, West Chicago and Elgin were also' numbered among the assemblage. The morning session, during which the general routine was gone thru, was presided over by the county president, Mrs. Alice Lindsay of this city, who carried out her role in a manner that reflected great credit upon herself as well as the Fox River Valley camp, of which she is a member. Woodstock was selected as the next place for the holding of the convention and county officers as elected were as follows: President, Mrs. Thomas of Woodstock; first vice president, Mrs. Parsons of Richmond; second vice president, Mrs. Alice Lindsay Of McHenry; secretary, Mrs. Minnie Brown of Woodstoek; assistant secretary, Mrs. Ellsworth of Woodstock; treasurer, Mrs. Elsie Smith of ^Woodstock. After the election of officers and the reading of the treasurer's report an adjournment was taken until 1:16. The out-of-town delegates, officers and visitors as well as a number of the home members partook of the excellent dinner as served by the Ladies' Aid society at the Woodman hall, just across the street from the convention hall. Both dinner and supper were served by this society and the meals were most appetising to say the least. The afternoon session was opened with an address of welcome by City Attorney Alford H. Pouse and, according to the district deputy, Mrs, Reynolds of DeKalb, the local attorney's talk was one of the best that she has ever listened to on a similar occasion. Mrs. E. Hattie Schmalx of Huntley made the response ' in a highly pleasing manner. Probably the most interesting part of the afternoon's program was the school of instructions as presided over by Mrs. Alice Gillaland, supreme recorder of Rock Island, 111. She was listened to most attentively during the entire time in which she occupied ti|e floor'. She again appeared on the evening's program, at which time she explained the secret work. The evening session started at 7:45 and was opened by the formal introduction of supreme guests, followed by ritualistic work beautifully exemplified by officers of Fox River Valley camp. During this work a class of eighteen adults and twelve juveniles were initiated. This was followed by a social hour. This year's convention will go down in the county history of the society as one of the finest and best ever held. While the morning and afternoon attendance was not as large as had been anticipated, the evening crowd was one of the biggest that has ever gathered at a county convention, there being approximately 150 people assembled. SLO KUM CLUB HELD FIRST MEETING ITEMS OMNTHffSI AS PICKED UP BY PLAfflKALEK REPORTERS DURING WEEK The members of the Slo Kum club, newly organized, held their first meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.
