A number of citizens residing in the vicinity of the McHenry park recently handed together and formed what in the future is to be known as the McHenry Park Improvement association, which association has as its object the beautifying and upkeep of the McHenry park located on Pearl street. The association has already approached and received the assurance of the support of the city council and as an evidence of its sincerity some good work toward cleaning and improving this park has already been done. The tall grass has beep mown, and a man engaged whose duty it will be to keep the grass mown and otherwise keep the place free from all rubbish. According to one of the most active members of the newly formed association every citizen of McHenry should becomev interested in the latest civic movement and believing that co-operation will be freely extended, the association will this week set out to sell a sufficient number of memberships to make possible a number of improvements that are contemplated. It is the intention of the association to install tables and seats and an effort is also to be made to have the band stand, now in Borden park, moved to the Pearl street park. " This, we understand, will very likely be done. A canvass for memberships in the new association is to start immediately in the hope that enough support is obtained to insure the carrying out of the plans that have been formulated by the originators of the newest civic scheme. The memberships are selling at $1.00 each. It js anticipated that no less than two hundred and fifty of these will be sold. The cause is a noble one and is surely worth the co-operation of everyone of our citizens. The park we all know has been sadly neglected during the many years, an<} now that someone has started the ball a rolling, let's all get behind and help the good work along.

RECfcNT RAINS CAUSE SWELLING OF RIVER Recent tains have caused a vary noticeable swelling of the lakes an J Fox river and in a number of instances the flooding of basements have been reported. Here in McHenry the river rose to its season's high mark last week, many of the piers having sunk below the water's surface. The river has also over swollen its banks in the low spots, this being particularly true on the flats along either side of Boone creek and the north end of the McHenry country club. The water has backed across the No. 1 fairway at the course, giving the lovers of the sport another natural hazzard. HOME BAKE SALE He members of the Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A., will hold a home bakery gale at the city hall here next Saturday, starting at 10:00 o'clock. Here's an opportunity to secure good, wholesome home-made bakery for #oor Sonday AGREEMENT IS REACHED AT CONFERENCE , IN CHICAGO LAST FRIDAY MORNING At a meeting of the McHenry local of the Milk Producers' associatioif held at Woodman hall in this city last Thursday evening it was unanimously voted to accept a price of $2.50 per hundred for milk delivered during the month of July. This is a reduction of twenty cents from the Original contract. The meeting, attended by seventyfix e members of the McHertry local, was called to order by President F. H. Wattles, who, after explaining the purpose of the gathering, asked for a discussion on the subject. The discussion which took up more than an hour's time, follows: At first there were a number who appeared to be of the opinion that the dealers should be held to their original contract but after the matter had been argued from various angles the dairymen present gradually grew warm towards a cut but the question was not brought to a vote until after the reading by Secretary A. P. Freund of an article which appeared in the current issue of Hoard's Dairyman. The article deals with the prices as received for April by the Twin City Milk Producers' association at Minneapolis, Minn. It will be remembered that an officer of this association made several speeches in this district in favor of the Marketing company during the milk war as staged between that company and the Milk Producers' association. In view of this visit of the Minneapolis ^official the April milk prices of the Twin Cities will be found interesting to the milk producers of this section. The article as read at the meeting by Mr. Freund follows: "Dufring April the Twin City Milk Producers' Association paid $1:80 for 3.5 per cent milk delivered in the city. Producers of first grade cream were paid forty cents a pound for fat. Approximately fifty per cent of all milk received wis manufactured, which reduced the price of $2.25 for fluid milk to an average of $1.96. The association bulletin reports, as a result of handling manufactured milk at country plants, a saving^of ten cents a hundred in hauling. In comparing prices it reports that Wisconsin cheese factories paid $1.35 for April milk and the New York Dairymen's League paid $1.33 for surplus milk testing 3.5 per cent. For,, the first half of May the Twin City distributors have agreed to pay the April price of $2.25, but it is expected th)£ there will be a reduction for the latter half of May and for June.' Attention is also called to the declining price of butter which will further decrease the price it will be possible to pay for May milk. The association reports an overrun of 22.5 per cent in the butter department, which it holds is reasonable under fair weights and tests. Where higher prices are reported by factories investigation shows they are liable to have an unfair overrun." Shortly after the reading of the above article a motion was made and seconded that the McHenry local accept a price of $2.50 for July milk. The motion was carried unanimously. McHenry was one of the few locals in the Chicago district to pass such a vote, most of the locals having voted to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the milk board. The milk board of the Milk Producers' association met the dealers in conference in Chicago last Friday at which time an agreement was reached between the two bodies whereby a slight reduction was made in the price of milk for the months of July, August and September. The dealers also agreed to take care of the surplus, thus assuring the dairymen of further shutdowns of milk plants in this territory. The price for July will be $2.50 per hundred pounds, a reduction of twenty cents from the original contract as made and agreed upon on April 1. The August and September price will be $2.60, a reduction of fifteen cents from the original contract. Eight gallon can prices in July will be $2.06 for 3.5 test and $2.12 in August and September. The original price was $2.30. ' BETTER SERVICE MEETING AT CRYSTAL LAKE Local employees from Barrington and Crystal Lake, of the Public Service company of Northern Illinois, attended a meeting held in the American Legion hall at Crystal Lake on Tuesday afternoon, at which service plans were discussed. H. T. East, service engineer, and F. N. Leonard, secretary of the Company's Employees' Benefit association, discussed means to be employed in perfecting the service to customers. The meeting is the first of a series arranged by the management of the company, with the idea of increasing its usefulness to the district through pmpi^yep f^o. operation. . ; i The interest of the members of^the HeHenry Country club this week is directed to the president's cup tournament which starts tomorrow, the Fourth. The cup, a most beautiful one. has been hung lip by the club's president, Richard B. Walsh, and it is confidently expected by the club's officials that there will be a large entry list for this grand prise. Qualifying rounds can be played tomorrow and Sunday. Those who wish to enter the tournament and cannot arrange to play the eighteen holes on Friday will be expected to do so on Sunday, July 6, after which Mr. Morris, the club professional, who has charge of all tournaments, will start at his work figuring out handicaps and making pairings. In order to qualify for the president's' cup one must shoot a gross of 120 or less and as most of the members are now able to do this it looks as if the entry list will be a large one. This tournament it should be remembered, will be for members only. Members of both class, A and B, are eligible for entry. It is anticipated that the match playing, in twosomes, will extend until about the first week in August before the winners will be decided. In addition to the grand prize of the president's cup there will also be first, second and third prizes for low net scores, thus giving the contestants an opportunity to go in for the other prizes which will be well worth going after. . - Mr. Morris also announces that a Ringer tournament will start on July fourth which will also be open to all members. This tournament will continue thruout the month of July. Those playing the qualifying rounds for the president's cup on the Fourth may use these same scores for the Ringer event should they so choose to do. A second Ringer tournament will start the first of August and continue thru that month. The club professional will be pleased to explain the latter tournament to anyone interested and it is his belief that when once the local golfers become interested in this tournament a great deal of enthusiasm can and will be aroused. A. V. Hannifan of Chicago, who has a summer home on Fox river near this city and who is an enthusiastic member of the McHenry club, has donated to the club a steel flag pole which is being erected today and will be dedicated tomorrow. PLASTERERS HAVE ANOTHER MONTH'S WORK AT SCHOOL ROAD ISNOW OPEN BARRICADES REMOVED AT 2:00 O'CLOCK SATURDAY From the present outlook it will be another month before the plasterers at the new community high school will have completed their end of the contract. The men ace now working on the main floor of the building, having practically completed the top floor of the big structure, from the main floor they will move down to the basement. The big steel stairways have arrived and are now being installed by a Chicago gang of workmen who expect to complete their work within the course of the next few days. The masons are now doing odds and ends and will be on their way within the course of the next two weeks. While the various gangs at the building are working at top speed it isn't very likely that the entire building will be completed by the opening of the fall term altho the work will be far enough advanced to allow the occupation of at least a portion of the structure. LOCAL ASSESSOR RETURNED HIS BOOKS TUESDAY Win. H. Althoff, assessor-for McHenry township, returned his books to Woodstock on Tuesday of this week Altho his work had not been quite completed the call came for him to get his books in and therefore those who have not been seen will be taken care of thru the action of the board of review. According to Mr. Althoff, there are always a few who are hard to find, necessitating as high as a half dozen calls before the assessment can be obtained. However, ifi spite of these handicaps, the local assessor has succeeded in swelling McHepry township's assessments by more' than $70,- 000 which is considered very good considering the fact that much new property was listed during the previ ous two years. AT THE EMPIRE THEATRE THIS WEEK A pleasing and novel addition to the program at the Empire this week will be the appearance of Arma'nd Melijette, the world's greatest triple voice singer and impersonator of famous stage celebrities. Melnotte is an actor of a great deal of experience. He has played over the Orpheum, Keith and Lowe circuits and recently returned from a tour of Europe and Australia. He will change his character impersonation with each change of the feature picture during the week. With this ex$ra attraction there wiH be no advance in prieea. MOTORISTS ARE CAUTIONED TO DRIVE SLOWLY ON ACCOUNT OF LABORERS AT WftRK McHenry's dream of many years, that of being able to drive to Chicago without leaving the cement, was brought to a full realization about two o'clock last Saturday afternoon when the McHenry-Volo road was thrown open for travel. No sooner had the barriers been let down before there was a steady stream of cars passing to and fro. It was a happy moment for the citizens of McHenry, the farmers residing along the right-of-way and tourists in general, scores of whom seemed to have been aware of the opening within an hour after the highway was opened. Altho the road is now permanently open to travel it will probably be another month before workmen will have completed the work of shouldering the job. On account of the presence of these workmen automobile drivers are kindly asked to drive sickly when passing these laborers, thus avoiding accidents. We are told that one workman was struck and slightly injured by a passing car, traveling at a high rate of speed, on the opening afternoon and in spite of signs and obstructions on the highway which are designed to make drivers cut down their speed there are still those who insist upon stepping on the gas; thus making the work of the road laborers a hazardous occupation. "Unless automobile drivers hold down their speed it njay again become necessary to close the road until the shouldering work has been completed. It is also understood that application for a motorcycle cop has been made and if authorities are successful in their efforts in this direction it looks like there should be some business for the local justice. The end of the present cement reaches a point about a mile from the river but our citizens have not lost hope that the balance of this stretch will be put in either this fall or early next spring, also the bridge and con tinuation of the cement thru this city, to connect up with the west end which has its beginning on top of Sherman's hill and from there continues on to Woodstock This connecting link is,,certain to be constructed some time and as the controversy over the location of the bridge over Fox river has not been definitely settled it really looks as if the state will soon get busy on the uncompleted section. , Another stretch of road which should come up for an early letting is that which connects this city and Richmond and thence on to the state line. With the building of this stretch autoists will be given a cement road all the way from Chicago to Lake Geneva, Wis. Thousands of Chicagoans are interested in this piece of highway, which at the very best is nothing to boast of, and if the proper pressure is brought to bear we believe this eightmile section can and will be cemented within the course of the next year. DA1RYMEN'S BY LAWS^PUBLISHED IN MIIK NEWS ROOFERS FALL FROM BARN CLARON EDDY QUITE SERIOUSLY INJURED SATURDAY The current issue of the Milk News, published in the interest of dairymen of the Chicago district, contains the bylaws as recently adopted by the Quarantine Protective association of McHenry, Ringwood and Marengo. The by-laws were formulated by Anton P. Freund of the McHenry local and the Milk News evidently thinks well enough of them to publish same and print up a batch for distribution among the jocals in the district desiring same. Mr. Freund is probably one of the best posted dairymen in the McHenry district and is ever keeping in touch with activities of the dairy farmer, both local and in the various sections of^he country where dairying- is carried oi\. , , MARGARET NOONAN OF SPRING GROVE ASKS DIVORCE Claron Eddy, youngeat son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Eddy, is confined to the home of his parents here suffering from a severe laceration of the scalp and a fracture of the right hip, sustained in a fall from a, barn last Saturday morning. The unfortunate young man, employed by the Meyers Ready Roofing company, was at work on the John M. Phalin farm' on the Terra Cotta road, south of this city, when the accident occurred. On the barn at the time were Paul Meyers, Arthur and Edward Meyers and Mr. Eddy. Edward Meyers had just carried some material to the peak of the high roof and was about to descend when he lost his balance and started to slide. He shouted to Mr. Eddy to catch him, but the latter who was working on a scaffold further down, failed to hear him, with the result that Meyers, in his downward flight, broke down the scaffold bearing the unfortunate victim, who started rolling down the roof ahead of Meyers. There was a third scaffold near the end of the roof but Eddy, unable td hold himself there, went over and then down into a cow barn some thirty-five feet below. Meyers was more fortunate, having been able to catchy the last scaffold where he hung for about seven minutes before his strength gave out and he too fell to the ground below. He escaped more luckily than his fellow workman, suffering but a few slight bruises to his arms and elbows. The owner of the barn, John M. Phalin, who was at work in a field close by at the time of the accident rushed to the scene but failed to get there in time to save Meyers from the long and dangerous fall. Another minute and Mr. Phalin could have had a ladder up to Meyers. Eddy, after falling "to the ground, was struck on the head by a piece of scaffold, receiving an ugly gash of the scalp. Strange as it may seem he was able to rise to his feet after the fall but after walking a few feet sunk to the ground in exhaustion. Fellow workers immediately rushed to his assistance and while one of the men was washing his wound another rushed to the telephone to call medical aid. Dr. A. I. Froehlch arrived on the scene in a short time after the accident and gave the patient first aid and then removed him to the home of his parents where he is now resting. Word from his bedside is to the effect that he will recover altho it will probably be from four to six w«eks before he will again be able to leave his bed, his fractured hip having been placed into a cast following the accident. BIG 3 DAY_CARNIVAl STARTS HERE TOMORROW AJU ENDS SUNDAY NIGHT PLENTY OF ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED FOR EVENT-- DISPLAY SPECTACLE RAIN AGAIN INTERFERES WITH SEWER WORK Thru her attorneys, Joslyn & Joslyn of Woodstock, Margaret Noonon of Spring Grove recently filed a bill for divorce in the McHenry county circuit court.

Also there was an injunction issued restraining the defendant from disposing of any of his property. Defendant, it is claimed, has interest in certain property near this city. The Noonans have lived apart for some time past, Mr. Noonan"being in Chicago, while Mrs. Noonan has been making her home at Spring Grove for some tiiftfi PMt." • ' HOME TALENT PLAY The Altar and Rosary sodality of St Patrick's church will sponsor a home talent play at the church hall on Sunday evening, July 13. All particulars next week. In the meantime don't jfusit the date. Since our last publication rains have again interfered with the progress of the work on the sewer extension on Elgin road and as a natural consequence the work was not completed Tuesday as had been contemplated. As the result of the closing of the street during a part of last week motor busses carrying the Terra Cotta workmen have been obliged to take the Crystal Lake road, which added about three miles to the trip and necessitated an earlier start in the morning. Since Monday automobiles have again been allowed to use the Elgin road entrance into this city and barring another heavy rain this thorofare will be kept open from now on. While there are a few bad spots along this stretch of the road, by careful driving machines are able to get thru. It's better than taking the long detomv The sewer extension on this street should be completed by the end of the week. MARRIED ON BOARD BOAT IN PISTAKEE A very unusual wedding ceremony and the first of the kind ever recorded by The Plaindealer was solemnized on board one of the Hunter Boat^Line boats at 10:30 o'clock last Sunday morning. The contracting parties were Miss Mary Ruse and Mr. Floyd Rittler of Grayslake, while Rev. A. Jerns of Area was the officiating clergyman. The couple were attended by Miss Viola Wells of Area and Mr. Henry Englebrecht of Libertyville. The ceremony was witnessed by about forty relatives and friends of the happy couple. A wedding luncheon was served on board the boat, after which several hours were passed in making the trip ar«omrj£ie lakes, returning to McHenry jpbcw'foiu o'clock that afternoon . SURPRISED ON FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Everything is all set for the mam- * moth carnival to be staged under the auspices of the McHenry Post, American Legion, at the Fox pavilion park, east of Fox river about a quarter of a I mile north of this city, starting tomorrow (the Fourth) and continuing for three days and nights, ending at midnight on Sunday, July 6. The executive committee of the McHenry post has overlooked nothing that might add to the attendance and success of the big three days' event and with favorable weather conditions which now appear likely McHenry should entertain the largest holiday crowd that has ever gathered here. The carnival has been advertised quite extensively and in view of the fact that ours will be the largest celebration to be held in McHenry county it looks as if McHenry has an excellent field from which to draw its crowd. V Out of town visitors who will spend the three days in and around McHenry will start arriving this afternoon and by noon tomorrow the old town should be, filled to overflowing. While the carnival will be staged across the river, the McHenry baseball team will play its morning and afternoon games at Jhe baseball park in the west end of town. Elsewhere in thia issue will be found an account of the two games to be put on. The big doings at the carnival grounds will begin tomorrow morning and continue all day and evening. There will be games, dancing, amusements, races and concessions of every description, more than enough to keep the crowd good natured. A plane will also be on the grounds for the purpose of making exhibitions 4s well as passenger flights. The big dance pavilion will be open all afternoon and evening. In the evening a $500 Gordon fire display will be set off which will be worth coming many miles to see. This spectacle will positively be one of the biggest and best ever brought to McHenry county and those who have seen any of the Gordon demonstrations th ready know what to expect. On Saturday afternoon on Fox rfv>- er, the Fox River Valley Power Boat club will put on a program of water sports which are sure to prove interesting. Some of the speediest boats in this summer resort section have been entered in the race to be staged and those who have never witnessed such an event on our river are certain to be well entertained. The members of this club have extended their co-operation and will do everything within their power to make , the carnival m huge success. The music over the three days will be provided by the McHenry hand which is in splendid condition for the engagement. The band, under the direction of W. N. Sears of Barrington, has made very good progress thia spring and will have plenty of up-fepdate music to please the crowds. A Ford touring car will be giVM away to some lucky person on the ctaeing night. Tickets on this car have been distributed during the past several weeks and holders will surely be interested in knowing the winner and will therefore be on hand on the deeing night. The Stoughton Fire Engine company, thru the courtesy of Mr. Crebbin, general manager, will have a fully equipped fire fighting truck in this city during the three days of the carnival and will make demonstrations. "Hie Commerce Truck Company, an. eastern , concern, will also be here for a demonstration. As stated in these columns during the past two weeks the entire net proceeds of the big carnival are to be turned into a fund which is to be set aside for the purchase of a fire track and equipment for the city of McHenry. _ LILY LAKE HOTEL * , * PROPRIETOR PASSES AW AT i A company of twenty relatives and friends tendered Mr. and Mrs. Edward Conway a very pleasant surprise at their home south of town last Thursday evening, the event being given in honor of the first anniversary of their marriage.
