The proposition for the holding of such an event was first "sprung" at the meeting of the McHenry Community club at the K. of C. hall last Friday evening when Atty A. H. Pouse, Wm. H.

Reihansperger, as representatives of the McHenry post made the announcement that such an event would be undertaken by the post provided the members of the McHenry Comunity club would extend their co-operation. The club voted to lend its assistance. Since the meeting the members of the executive committee of the local Legion post has gotten together with the result that tentative plans for the holding of the big event have been started.

CHESTER SANFORD TO DELIVER GRADUATION ADDRESS OPENING OF POLLY PRIM BEAUTIFUL NEW TAVERN TO •OPEN THURSDAY NIGHT "Hie Polly #rim Tavern, McHenryV newest eating place and dance hall, will hold its formal • opening next Thursday evening, May 29. The tavern was constructed and will be conducted under the management of A. J. Pouliot, on whose property the building is located. The location of the tavern is east of Fox river, about a block and a half south of the bridge. While workmen are still busily engaged in putting on the finishing touches, the management is certain that everything will" be completed and in readiness for the . opening, which promises to terminate; into a most auspicious occasion. One thousand invitations have been sent out this week and, altho everyone could not be reached in this manner, Mr. Pouliot wishes to have it distinctly understood that the public in general is invited to be present. Frank Gans and his Polly Prim orchestra have been engaged to furnish the music for the occasion and patrons may rest assured that the music will be of the best to be had. Outside of Mr. Gans, the orchestra of six pieces will be composed of some of Chicago's best known artists. A regular dinner, consisting of all the season's dishes and delicacies, will be served thruout the evening. The management is looking forward to quite a large number of requests for table reservations. The Polly Prim Tavern is one of the most modern of its kind to be found anywhere. The decorations are in strict accordance with the name, the dancing floor is perfect, while the lighting system is novel. To really appreciate the kind of a plaee Mr. Pouliot has thus provided for the public one must visit the place. Remember, you are invited to attend the opening. WILL OBSERVE DECORATION DAY The board of education of the McHenry community high school district has secured the services of Chester M. Sanford for the commencement address. Mr. Sanford comes especially highly recommended and is deserving of a full house. Attendance during the past several years has been very poor at this one senior exercise. It is the only exercise which does not always draw a packed house. This is the last and most important exercise of our high school seniors and all school patrons should be. present. Everyone ^should plan to hear Mr. Sanford. PAY YOUR VEHICLE TAX NOW City Clerk Ray F. Conway will be at t^o city v >! from 7:00 to 9:30 o'clock on Friday evening of this week for the purpose of issuing vehicle license. Once more the attention of vehicle owners in this city is called to the fact that these taxes are now due and payable. Don't blame anyone but yourself if you are called to tell it to the judge because of your failure to provide your&alLwith a McHenxy cijty 'license plati. •' ** * EXERCISES TO TAKE PLACE AT THE EMPIRE THEATRE Memorial day will agtftn be fittingly observed in McHenry this year and, according to arrangements alreadv under way, the exercises will take place at the Empire theatre starting promptly at 2:00 o'clock on the afternoon of Memorial day. The members of the McHenry post, American Legion, have once more kindly consented to take charge of the afternoon's program, while the McHenry Community club, as a body, has volunteered its co-operation. This is one occasion in a year that the public should lay aside, for two hours at least, all of its business and social activities and by its presence at the exercise assist in doing honor to America's soldiers, both dead and living. The officials of the McHenry post have already made arrangements with David R. Joslyn, Jr., as the orator of the afternoon, while the pupils of our schools will contribute their share of the program as will a number of the older citizens of the city. The members of the McHenry Community club will join the line of march to the cemeteries in a body and it is to be hoped that the citizens of this entire community will turn out in a body. ENTRANCE TO ORCHARD BEACH BEAUTIFIED If you have driven down the Johns burg road during the last week your attention, no doubt, has been drawn to the lately beautified entrance to the road leading to the Orchard Beach subdivision, which has just been completed. An ornamental flower bed lined with shrubs and white painted stones separate the private road from the Johnsburg highway and will prove a very valuable asset to th% entire subdivision, particularly after a large ornamental sign, which was ordered some time ago, will be completed by the painter and set up. Credit for the entire improvement is due Mr, Christ Norager, who not only conceived the idea of improving the formerly desolated spot, but spared no time or effort in carrying out his plan, which is bound to react to the benefit of all his neighbors. K. OF C. TO CONFER - DEGREE THIS EVENING Hie first degree will be conferred upon a class "of sixteen candidates at the K. of C. hall this (Thursday) evening.

ENTERS GUILTY PLEA ^TED" SCHIESSLE PLEADS GUILTY Tips STATE'S EVIDENCE MOST OF MEN INDICTED ON LIQUOR CHARGES WILL STAND TRIAL--CASES MONDAY According to present plans the McHenry county liquor cases are due for trials at the beginning of the May term of the McHenry county circuit court which convenes at Woodstock next Monday morning, May 26. Most of the men involved in the liquor cases and against whom indictments have been returned by the January grand jury have decided to stand trials. Atty. George D. Sullivan of Chicago, who represents most of the McHenry defendants, has asked for a change of venue and if granted another judge other than Edward D. Shurtleff of Marengo will preside. Theodore Schiessle, Jr., of this, city was the only one of the McHenry defendants under indictment for violation of the prohibition law and also with operating slot machines to plead guilty and was assessed a fine of $400, which we are told he paid. There were six cdunts against the McHenry young man in the indictment charging violation of the liquor law and after he had signified his willingness to plead guilty to the second count, the sale of liquor, Special State's Attorney Wm. Pierce of Belvidere agreed to cancel the other counts and recommended a fine of $400, which was so ordered by Judge Edward D. Shurtleff. "Ted" then turned state's evidence and was placed on the witness stand to offer some testimony in regard to the slot machines. He said the machines were placed in his place of business by John Engeln of McHenry, also indicted on a slot machine charge. He further testified that he had three machines, two quarter outfits and one nickle machine. These machines were in his place a part of last October, November and December or up to the time of the sheriff's raid, which took place on New Year's day. The witness went on further to say that the machines were opened about a half dozen times by himself and Mr. Engeln and approximately $500 was removed therefrom, which was divided between the two. Following the questioning by Special Assistant State's Attorney David R. Joslyn, Sr., the court was informed that the state desired to use Mr. Schiessle as a witness in other cases and recommended that the indictment against him on the slot machine charge be squashed. The court so ordered. John J. Buch of this city was the first to appear before, the bar last MoncJ^y morning *nd- for a time it looked as if he would plead guilty to the charges preferred against him, but he seemed to take a change of heart and decided not to plead. John Liske, a Harvard tailor, another one of the indicted men, entered his plea of guilty to two counts, one for the possession of intoxicating liquor and the other for having a still. He was fined $500 on the first and $200 on the second count, or a total of $700. Being unable to raise the amount of the fines, he was taken to the county jail. Atty. Paul Donovan of Harvard represented the defendant. August Voy, a Marengo hotel man, Was fined $300 on a charge of possessitig liquor and $50 for operating a nuisance. Attorney Pierce recom mended that the defendant be placed under a $1,000 bond to run his hotel in a manner within the law. He was also committed to the county jail on his failure to raise the necessary funds. E. J. Simonini, another hotel owner of Algonquin appeared with bis counsel, Atty. Floyd E. Eckert of Woodstock, who announced that his man was ready to plead guilty. • Owing to the fact that this was the defendant's first offense and also that he is the head of a large family, Atty. Pierce recommended that Simonini be fined on but one charge, that of running a nuisance, and that the liquor count be dropped. The court assessed a fine of $200 and asked for a bond in the sum of $1,000 as an assurance that his hotel would be run along on legitimate lines in the future. Charles Talbott of Marengo offered a plea of guilty to having intoxicating liquor in his possession and alsoi being the owner of a still. The plea | was accepted and Judge Shurtleff took the matter of sentence under advisement. It is expected that when the trials of the other defendants come up next Monday that the court room will be filled to overflowing as many are anxious .to learn just what sort of a defence the indicted men will present. Besides Atty. Sullivan, Attorney George F. Field of Waukegan is representing a number of the defendants. BAKE SALE MAY 31 The M. E.

The place, during the' two years it has been in operation, has gained a popular reputation among the dancing public for miles around and the management is looking forward to another successful season. The opening will be followed by dancing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, May 30 and 31, and June 1. Beginning Wednesday evening, Jun* 4, and continuing thruout the season, with the possible exception of holidays, dancing will take place on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday evenings of each week.

Frazer, local contractor and builder, has taken over the millwork plant located on the Frank Hughes property on the east side of the river, and which for a time was operated under the head of Frazer, Newburg & Reynolds. Mr. Frazer opened the place on Monday morning of this week and since then has been kept quite busy. His plans are to do millwork of all kinds, but later on expects to specialize in garden craft of varied designs. He believes that McHenry and this summer resort region offers an exceptional field for a mill of thiB sort and is out to made a bid to retain this class of business^ in McHenry. The plant is well equipped to take care of all orders of this kind and anyone contemplating making improvements of this kind would do well to consult Mr. Frazer, who, we know, will be pleased to submit estimates and extend every courtesy.

The sewer digging machine 1MM now reached a point near Washington street on Riverside Drive and it now looks as if the end of this week should witness the finish of the system so far as the laying of the mains is concerned. A number of the citizens are anxiously awaiting word froaa officials which will give them authority to connect up.' Miss Clara Stoffel, who for a number of years has so efficiently assisted her father in the insurance business, underwent an operation for appendicitis at the West Side hospital in Chicago on Thursday of last week. Word from Chicago is to the effect that the operation was entirely successful and that the patient will be able to return to her home here very shortly. We understand that citizens in various sections of the town a*s» anxious for new side walks. The city council, we understand, wil| pay a certain per cent of the cost of the improvement, but up to this time that body has not definitely decided just how much of the cost should be borne by our#municipality. No doubt the council will soon make a decision and thus give those wishing to make the contemplated improvement a chance to go on with their plans. . Miss Alta Hutson, only daughter s# Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hutson of Wo«-* stock, was united in marriage to Clifford Kidney of Western Springs, 111., at the home of her parents at Wood-, stock at four o'clock last Thursday - afternoon.

Unless again hampered by rain, the entire stretch to the camp will be completed today or tomorrow, when the gang will be ready to start activities on the McHenry end just below-the hill near the Kennebeck farm. In order to give the workmen time to lay the water pipe line and also give the graders a chance to get a day ahead of the cement pouring outfit, the latter gang will probably not go to work on the McHenry end until the first of the week. At a meeting of the Community dab as held at the K. of C. hall last Friday evening it was unanimously decided to extend both moral and financial support to the McHenry band and in this way assist in assuring a series , of band concert for McHenry the coming summer.
