The Defenders, rolling against the Oh Henrys last Friday night, displayed the best form shown by any of the teams thus far this season, hanging up a total of 2693 pins for the 'three games rolled. This record Will probably stand thruout the present season.

Story, formerly of McHenry, have been called upon to say "goodbye" to their only child-- Mrs. firifta Currie, mother of three boys, whose ages are four, thirteen and seventeen years. Peritonal tuberculosis was the pronounced cause of her immediate illness, which dates back to four months. During the twelve weeks illness no complaint was offered, no censure for the possible causes of her demise, not word of complaint to those who ire administering to her comfort, nor was there any requests to those whom she left. Edna's childhood days were spent in McHenry. Later years she had been in search of "the land of sunshine," which she found in Deqting, New Mexico, Los Angeles, Calif., and in Gardena recently, which is a suburb of Los Angeles, and where her mother and father were beside her and closed her eyes in this life on the morning of Nov. 29, 1923, at 8:30, Thanksgiving morning. The warm) sun of thai, di? seemed the only bright' thing t#- be thankful for. The funeral services were conducted by the Order of Eastern Star of Gardena, of which she was a devoted member and where she always made her presence known among workers for the uplift of her kind and with the assistance of her parents, all being devoted to tUfese principles, as well as that of Christian Science. The services were attended by numerous friends of the family from adjoining cities, Los Angeles, Hollywood, Long Beach, LaHabra and Mr and Mrs. J. M. Preston of Chicago. The beautiful song, entitled "There's No Night There," was rendered by Mrs. Woodruff, EdnaT^friend. Her sweet voice seemed to carry conviction to all assembled and by request she sang "Nearer My God to Thee." It is needless to say there were flowers in great profusion of every hue and construction known to the florists' art of California. These tributes followed her to her long home Those emblems from the Eastern Stat*1 were in colors of the Star and rested upon the casket in the beautiful chapel at Evergreen cemetery, Los Angeles 728 809 711 2248 760 1st 2nd Srd Total Av. .102 14? 126 869 123 .120 148 116 HBNBY QUINN TO ERECT TWO NEW HOMES ConwaT . . ... .164 178" 194 Steng# 115 184 168 Steileil .......122 148 211 884 586 407 476 128 179 186 169 , 623 744 805 2172 725 flrfsmlms Show Seme Smote Ttte Defenders showed themselves to be tile real class of the league, if only for the time being, when on Friday night of last week they "smoked" out the Oh Henrys in three straight games, the winners compiling the largest total yet rolled since the opening of the league season.

In fact, the foundation for the first home, to occupy a site on the lot next to the old Quinn home, is now go ing in and, according to plans, the house is to be erected daring the next few weeks.. A second structure, two flat house of good proportions will adorn the corner lot just south of the Watrkegan road. Work on this place will start eerly next spring in the hope of having same ready for occupancy early in the summer Both of the homes to be erected will be of a permanent nature and .not in tended for summer resort purposes only. The addition of these two homes, the new garage building, the road house and several others which are to go up in the spring seems to give some credence to the report cir culated here some months ago to the effect that this part of the community will some day witness the birth of a new village. MCHENRY'S OPPORTUNITIES ATTRACT OUTSIDERS 864 819 767 2440 816 Women Also Coming to Frost The women bowlers are showing a greater interest in the game than ever before and as a natural consequence there are a few who are now shooting a real game.

BONSLETT PI McHENRY ICE CREAM FACTORY e. UNTI, PROP. € Wtth Ben Stilling & Son of this city acting as selling agents, a deal was consummated here the first of the week whereby the J. W. Bonslett home and two lots were sold to Ben J. Diet* of Chicago, who only recently came into possession of Clwnent Lodge on Fox river south of this city. Mr, Bonslett retains one lot, facing Court street, upon which he contemplates the erection of a modern new bungalow some time next spring. Mr Bonslett purchased the property from Jacob Schneider only a few years ago He and his family have been occupying the lower flat, while the upper apartment has been rented for several years past. According to the terms of sale Mr. Bonslett and family may remain in the lower flat until Jane 1) 1924. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT NOTICE Special Warrant No. 6 The second installment of the Special Assessment Warrant No. 6, being for the improvement of the sewer system in the city of McHenry, Illinois, will be due and payable on the ^nd day of January, A. D. 1924. All persons interested are hereby notified to call and pay the amount of said installment at the collector's office in West McHenry, Illinois, on said date. Iq % conversation with one of our hustling real estate men the other day Plaindealer scribe was told that outside investors are beginning to realize McHenry's opportunities and his predictions are that the next* fiv years will witness many important changes here. There is but one thing at this time that is • preventing greater growth, according, to our in formant, and this lies in the fact that most of the property owners about town are holding out for prohibitive prices. "I have h^d numerous oppor tunities for sales during the past year but unreasonable prices prevented the deals from going thru," is about the way the story was put to us. "If once these people set a' price that is fair you'll see McHenry grow," he added. . ^ WM. J.

According to the information as gained by Mr. Conway from some of the purchasers of lots, the coming spring will see the arection of at least five, if not seven, new 'homes at that point. Some of the lot owners have only recently expressed a desire of getting in the foundations for the prospective homes this winter, but whether or not their wishes will be gratified depends entirely upon the weather conditions. The break from the present mild spell to that of real winter may come at any moment so it seems rather doubtful if any work "will be started there this fall.

Link of Chicago has recently disposed of his beautiful summer home and property located at Orchard Beach, near this city, to Wm. Sullivan of Chicago, who has alxeady taken possession of the property. The place, located next to the Wm. Koeppe home, was purchased by Mr, Link about two years ago, since whigb time very noteworthy improvements have been made thereon. We understand that the ^property brought something like $30,000. The purchaser is connected with the Howard Avenue Trust & Savings bank, ChJ cago. MRS. MICHAEL FREUND DOB Mrs. Michael Freund passed away at her late home on Park Ave. on Monday evening of this w^ek after a lingering illness. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic choral here this (Thursday) morning al ten o'clock. Obituary next week. Notwithstanding the fact that our city officials have been working on the matter for some time past and also the calling of a special meeting of that body on Monday evening of this week, the dividing of our city into wards is still an unsolved problem. Some time ago Mayor Wells appointed Aldermen Overton, Stoffel and Wattles to divide up the West Side, while Aldermen Doherty, Krause and Knox were asked to do the wo^k on the east side of t6wn. Mayor Wells, so we understand, told the members of the board to be prepared to present their plans at Monday night's meeting in the hope that the matter could be definitely decided at that time. After a three hour session, however, the board failed to come to an agreement and the matter has once more been deferred until some time the latter part of this week, when another effort will be made to work out a scheme which will be satisfactory to everyone. It is the mayor's wish to have the city divided into three wards and as equally as possible. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE OF FILING FINAL SETTLEMENT Alford H. Pouse, State of Illinois, ) ' McHenry County,)is.
