' Edwin Ahlstrom, sheriff of Lake oounty, was fined $250 and- costs on Jhargoe of contempt in the federal '^ourt in Chicago last Thursday. The Charges grew out of his removing Sfargaret Moberly and Marjorie Dor- ,J|and from the Lake county jail, where tjhey were being held as witnesses in a flann act case, >nd taking them to a • 4ance last February. The bonds for the new community high school building to be erected at arengo were sold at open auction at e Marengo high school building one vening last week and brought a remium of $6,835. The successful idder was • the C. W. McNear comjjtany. Thirteen bidders were present the sale. Bids are now being asked for the construction of the new building. The six Lake county motorcycle Cops, who were laid off on Oct. 1 because of the fact that the $5,000 fund ^.^Appropriated for their hire had been exhausted, were placed back into the services last week. During the time M that the county was without the ser- ,'SHces of these officers it is said that fJl>eer runners bad been unusually busy, e the "speeders" wwris also barnup the roads. The Bjorndahl Construction company has been awarded the contract for building the connecting link on the Northwest highway as it passes thru Hhe city of Arlington Heights.

He will continue the mill- Ing business V-'P' : • \ i EDWARD FRISBY UID AT REST WAS BORN AND ALWAYS LIVED SOUTH OF TOWN ' • :-- Edward Frisby, rural resident of highly esteemed this community, passed away at his late home on the farm owned and operated jointly by himself and brother, James, on the Terra Cotta road, south of this city, on Tuesday, Oct. 14. The deceased, the son of Thomas and Ellen Frisby, was born on the old homestead, now owned by John R. Walsh, south of McHenry on May 11, 1865. Herb he was reared and grew to manhood, attending the country school and later assisting on the farm of his parents. In 1889, with his brothers, he disposed of that property and bought the farm now known as the Frisby Bros, place, the working of which he continued with his brother, James, up until illness overtook him about sixteen months ago. He was a man of industry and strict integrity, while his everyday life was such ars to command the respect and esteem of everyone who knew him. Religiously he was born and always lived up to the teachings of the Roman Catlftilic faith. He was a member of St. Mary's court, C. O. F., of this city and also a member of the Holy Name society of St. Patrick's church. He was a long and patient sufferer. When realizing that the end was near he said to the family gathered around him, "It is alt over, I'm going." Reaching his hand he said goodbye, calling each one by name. In about one-half hour he passed peacefully away. His father passed away many years ago, while his mother^ Mrs. Ellen Frisby, together with three sisters and brothers and a large number of relatives and dear friends, is left to mourn the passing of a good man. e surviving sisters and brothers are as follows: Mrs. J. R. Cleary of Sioux Falls, S. D., Mrs. F. M. O'Flaherty and Thos. A. Frisby of Elgin; George B., who resides on a farm south bf this city, James and Nancy, who, with the mother, reside on the home farm. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's Catholic church in this city at ten o'clock last Thursday morning with Rev. M. J. McEvoy reading the requiem high mass and preaching the sermon. Interment was made in the family lot in St. Patrick's cemetery. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of their many relatives and friends thruout this community in these, their sad hours of bereavement. FINE RENDITION OF MARTHA HERE TUESDAY EVENING PHOTOWHERDIES H. C. BOBB'S DEATH FOLLOWS OPERATION .t. The opera, "Martha," was given a fine rendition by the A born grand opera singers in St. Patrick's hall on Tuesday evening. Finished actors as well as possessors of voices of rare beauty might will be predicted of the entire company for whether in arias or ensemble work each member of the company showed talents beyond the ordinary. All except two of the company had appeared here last year in Faust arid the two new voices were a great, addition. Miss Harrison, Miss Engler and Mr. Taggart seemed even better in voice than on the previous occasion, making firm friends of those privileged to hear them. Miss Harrison's singing of the Last Rose of Summer Was one of the most equisite treats we have ever listened to and the M'appaft of Mr. D'Altoni was rarely beautiful. This community has never had the opportunity of hearing such voices nor observing the acting of such artists as the A bom company and it is worthy of remark that one listener, a Chicago gentleman, was so /impressed with the quality of the attraction and small size of the audience that he handed Rev. Father McEvoy fifty dollars as a concrete expression of his appreciation of the unusual musical treat. Mr. Jack Sloan knows what cultural and educational efforts are worth to a community and he took a very practical way of showing it. It might be added that the gift was a spontaneous and unsolicited one and is all the more to be appreciated. GOLF PROFESSIONAL AGAIN SETS NEW RECORD Harry Morris, golf professional at the McHenry Country club, once more set a new eighteen hole record for the McHenry course last Sunday when he turned in a card of 70. In speaking of Mr. Morris' former low record in last week's issue of The Plaindealer we stated that he had achieved the low honors with a score of 75. This should have read 72. However, since he has again lowered his own record it matters little what he made the course in previous to last Sunday's accomplishment. Because of the fact that considerable golf interest exists thruout this community, we are herewith publishing Mr. Morris' card: Out .^4 3 33 Out..4 8 S 5 4 8 4 4 4--34 In ...4 4 5 4 4 2 46 8--36 WINTER APPLES I expect a carload of apples the first part of the week, Jonothans, Baldwins and several other kinds. I. Levinson, West McHenry. Phone 119-R. HE CRT TROUBLE SET IN FOLLOWING OPERATION--BURIAL AT ORANGEY 1LLE, ILL. H. C. Bobb, McHenry photographer, and for four years one of this city's highly esteemed citizens, passed away at the Post Graduate hospital in Chicago on Wednesday night of last week, following an operation for appendicitis which had been performed that day. Death was caused by heart ^rouble following the operation. Mr. Bobb's illness was of only ten days' duration and little did the be loved members of his family suspect that his condition was at all serious until a short time before his death. Howard Clinton Bobb, son of Samuel and Maggie Bobb, was born on a farm near Orangeville, 111., on Feb. 25, 1870, where he was reared to manhood. He attended the schools of Orangeville and after the completion of his school days took up the photographic art, which he had successfully followed up to the time of his illness. His first studio was located at Orangeville, where he remained until 1914, when he moved to Freeport, 111. After two years at Freeport he moved to Monroe, Wis., and in 1920 bought out the Frank Schnabel studio in this city. On July 26, 1893, he was united in marriage at Madison, Wis., to Ada Moyer of his home city. To this union three children were born, one of whom passed away at the age of two years, while Romo E. and Harriett A. together with the sorrowing wife and mother are left to mourn the loss of a dear father and husband. He is also survived by his father, who resides at Orangeville, 111., one sister. Mrs. Ida Bobb of Arvada, Colo.; one half-sister, Mrs. George Moyer, of Orangeville and a half-brother, A. B. Bobb of Freeport, 111. Mr. Bobb was a member of the Mystic Workers of this city, the Beaver lodge of Monroe, Wis., and an enthusiastic and active member of the Methodist church of McHenry. During the few short years that the deceased has made his home in McHenry he. has proven himself a most desirable citizen, a man of broad vision and one who was ever in hearty accord with the better things of life. He was a firm believer in modern ideas as they apply to the smaller communities and on several occasions we have heard him express himself as greatly pleased with the new improvements which McHenry has made since he became a resident of our city. Especially was he pleased with our new community high school building. As a photographer he ranked among the best. Always exercising particular pains, he turned out only the very best of photographic art and in his death McHenry has not only lost a valuable citizen, but the profession a man whose place it will be hard to fill. He was a man who loved his home and family, one who never knowingly passed an opportunity that might add pleasure and comfort to those nearest and dearest to him. The remains were shipped from Chicago to Orangeville, ni., where the funeral was held from the Reformed church at 2:30 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, with interment in the Orange* ville cemetery. The sympathy of the citizens of McHenry is extended to the members of the bereaved family. McHENRY FIRE CHIEF CALLS ANOTHER MEETING GRISWOLO RINNER NUPTIALS DAUGHTER OF FORMER RESIDENT MARRIED OCT. 16 Fire Chief P. W. Frett was very much disappointed at the turnout at the meeting of firemen which was called for last Monday evening. The chief informs us that no less than forty have made application for membership in McHenry's fire department and appeared at a loss to understand why such little interest was displayed last Monday night. Mr. Frett has called another meeting to be held at the city hall next Monday night in the hope that everyone of those who have applied for membership on the fire department will be present. In fact, it is absolutely necessary that these gentlemen attend next Monday night's meeting if McHenry's hopes of a first-class fire department are to be realized'. HALLOWE'EN DANCE OCT. 81 Bear in mind the Hallowe'en dance to be sponsored by the McHenry Park Improvement association and to be held at the K. of C. hall in this city on Friday evening, Oct. 31. The members of this very.worthy organization are out to make McHenry's park one of the most beautiful to be found in any city or town and are using this means of creating a fund with which to make possible , the fulfillment of the splendid plans for next year's activity. The Fox River Four will furnish the music. Dance tickets, which are selling at $1.00, have already been placed on sale. On Thursday evening, Oct. 16, af eight o'clock occurred the marriage of Miss Nglle Griswold to Mr. Oswald C. U. Rinner of Chicago, the ceremony having been solemnized by the Rev. H. E- Harkness at the Congregational parsonage at Woodstock. The bridal couple was attended by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Schneider of this city, the latter, being a cousin of the bride. Mrs. Rinner Is a graduate nurse of St. Luke's hospital, Chicago, and is the only daughter of the late Mr. aud Mrs. Chas. H. Griswold, old time residents of this city. Mr. Rinner is connected with the Arthur T. Mcintosh real estate organizations of Chicago. The young couple will leave the first of next week by auto for Miami, Fla., where they will spend the winter months. Friends of the couple in McHenry and community extend congratulations. McHENRY TO RETAIN ITS FAST PASSENGER and the towns along this branch of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad are not to be deprived of the excellent passenger train. This fact became known on Wednesday morning of this week, when official notification was received by the local station agent, C. W. Goodell. While the fast train will continue to make its morning and afternoon trips, there will be a slight change in the time of the departure and arrival, and instead of making the run into and out of Chicago without a stop the train will stop at Crystal Lake on both runs. On the morning run the McHenry coaches will be attached to a fast train at Crystal Lake, while in the evening the cars will again be detached and pulled into McHenry by another locomotive other than that which brings us out as far as Crystal Lake. While this service isn't as good as that which we enjoyed during the summer months, we should be satisfied as it is a great deal better than having the train removed entirely. Thus, starting neftt Monday morning, the Chicago flyer will leave the McHenry station at 7:58 instead of 8:33 and on the return trip in the afternoon will leave Chicago at 4:00 instead of 3:45 p. m. Starting next Sunday evening the 6:58 will stop at Crystal Lake instead of going right thru to Chicago. BOONE COUNTY CANDIDATE VISITS THIS CITY AID HOME PROBLEMS WHAT COUNTY HOME BUREAU MEANS TO HOME N. L. Jackson of Belvidere, Republican candidate for the Illinois house of representatives, called on voters of this city and community Wednesday and this (Thursday) morning. With the voters that he met during his short stay in McHenry he made a very favorable impression and it looks as if this community will give the Boone county man a very nice vote. Mr. Jackson is that type of an American who makes friends easily and, judging from his past record as a business man of McHenry and Boone counties, he is well qualified for the office he seeks and is certain, if elected, to give the district clean, honest, conscientious service. On his visit to The Plaindealer office this (Thursday) morning, Mr. Jackson expressed himself as very much interested in the good road movement and could see no reason why the McHenry link of route 20 should not have been completed. If elected he has given us his promise that he will use his very best efforts to have our road completed without delay. He is a gentleman worthy of the support of McHenry voters. Give him a vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4. BARBER SHOPS TO CLOSE ONE NIGHT A WEEK The barbers of the city of McHenry have agreed to close their respective places of business one night each week and starting next week the three shops here will close at 6:00 o'clock on every Tuesday evening. The balance of the days of the week the shops will remain open until eight o'clock except Saturdays, when the closing hour will be ten. The barbers, like their brother business men of McHenry, feel that they are entitled to at least one night a week and thus their agreement to close at six o'clock on Tuesday nights. PUBLIC CARD PARTY The members of St. Clara court, C. O. F., will hold a public card party for the benefit of St. Mark's Catholic church at the church hall on Thursday evening of next week, Oct. 30. Five TO PROMOTE METHODS OF HOME MAKING AND HOUSEKEEPING OBJECT OF ORGANIZATION Do you ever find household problems that trouble you? Do you wonder if others have had the same experience or just what should you do ?< Have you often wished that you knew just what kind of curtains to get for the dining room, what color would be best suited to you or what food would be best for your family? There is an organization in your county that attempts to answer these questions. Some women do not seem to know anything about the Home Bureau, while others have heard of it but wonder what it is all about. The Home Bureau is an organization of McHenry county women for the women of McHenry county. Every woman in the ^county is eligible to become a member. Membership is open to residents of both town and country since all homes, whether city or rural, have many problems in .common. The object of such an organization is to promote methods of homemaking and housekeeping. The great aim of Home Bureau is to have every home-- Economically sound, » Mechanically conventtnt, Physically healthful, JjJorally wholesome, Mentally stimiilating, '• Artisticallytwftisfying, Socially responsible, 10 Spiritually inspiring, Founded upon mutual affection and respect. The Home Bureau is organized in co-operation with the University of Illinois and the United States department of agriculture to carry a definite program of extension work to the housewives of the state. The members share experiences with each other and receive new information.and help from the adviser and from spe cialists that are sent out by the uni' versity. The adviser is a home economics trained woman who is employed by the county. There are specialists in clothing, home management, home furnishing and nutrition who are sent out by the university to give instruction and demonstration in these various kinds of work. The Home Bureau in the county is made up of groups of women in various localities. These groups are called Units. Each month a meeting is held in each unit and sueh problems as clothing, health, home furnishings, hon/fe management, child welfare and food are discussed. Often the women of various units are brought together for group meetings. In this way Home Bureau members become acquainted with many of the women in the county. In short, Home Bureau brings to the women: 1. The opportunity to consult woman who is trained in home economics. 2. The privilege of attending school where expert instruction is given by specialists. 3. The opportunity to extend her social life and meet the women of the county. 4. A digest of the news in the field of home economics as it is given to the County Home Bureau bulletin that is issued each month. 5. Access to the Home Bureau library, which contains reliable books on home economics subjects and a good collection of state and government bulletins on these subjects. 6. Instruction in basket weaving and various kinds of handicraft. 7. The opportunity to buy the latest approved types of kitchen equipment thru Home Bureau office at the best possible, prices. Would you not like to have these advantages? Thru these homemaking might^ assume a fresh aspect. In many cases the new ideas acquired mean the lightening of household work to such an extent that a considerable amount of time is released for other duties or for recreation. If any woman is interested in Home Bureau and cares to know more about it we will be glad to write job or call on you. Miriam M. Bennett, County Home Adviser, Box 83 Woodstock, 111.
