His mooter returned home with him for an extended stay. Notwithstanding the frozen condition of the ground, Anthony Fredson is making very good progress in laying tile in a drainage district which includes the farms of Stanford, Pad- ., dock, Smith and Lenzen, located between Volo and Round Lake and consisting of about 1,600 acres." Ten carload of sheep, totaling 3,200 , jjhead, arrived at the Marshall sheep ' "^feeding yards from Del Rio, Texas, 4ast week and will be fed at the Belv|? videre yards for thirty days before be- "^ing shipped to the Chicago market.

If present plans materialize Lake Geneva, Wis., will witness the building of a twenty-five mile speedway around . .,,-ithe lake, on which an international auto race will be held next summer. •National auto racers are back of the movement and favor Lake Geneva very much as the site for the contem- . plated speedway. \ Mr. and Mrs. John Brown and family, who reside on a farm near Wauconda, had a narrow escape from being asphyxiated one night last week. Mrs. Brown awakened about'eleven o'clock to find the house filled with coal gas. She immediately awakened the other members of the family and by opening up the windows and doors escaped what might have proven a sad fatality. A David touring car, owned by Joe Hironimus, who resides about three miles north of Volo, was totally destroyed by fire on the Belvidere road on Monday evening of last week. The car was being driven by the owner's son, who, with another young man, was returning home. At. about 7:15 o'clock, at a point near the Fort Hill cemetery, the boys noticed a light un- . der the hood and before they were able to do anything to squelch the blaze the whole car was afire. The entire car was demolished in less than • a hour. A Lake county basket ball league has just been organized. Towns rep* resented in the league are Area, Libertyville, Lake Forest, Waukegan, North Chicago, Great Lakes Naval One of the most enjoyable occasions ever sponsored by the two societies occurred at Stoffel's hall last Saturday evening, when Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A., and Valley camp, M. W. A., held a joint installation, 125 Neighbors, Woodmen and their Vriends being present. "Hie Woodmen installed their newly elected officers first, Ed. Hopper and John Thompson of Ringwood acting as installing officers. This was followed by the R. N. A. installation, Mrs. Jas. N. Sayier acting as installing officer and being assisted by Mrs. Peter M. Justen as ceremonial marshal. The The work was Jhe prettiest (ever put on at such an occasion. . After the new officers had been duly installed gifts were presented by the camp to the retiring oracle, Mrs. R. G. Chamberlin, the installing officer and ceremonial marshal and Mrs. Geo. H. Johnson, who has served the camp as musician 'for several years past. Flowers were given the new oracle, Mrs. J. E. Wheeler, Mrs. Mayme Harrison, who acted as installing chaplain, and Mrs. C. W. Goodell, who was pianist for the installation work. The graces were also presented flowers the color of their stations. Mrs. Jas. N. Sayier gave a short but interesting talk and Mr. Hopper responded. Mr. Thompson and Wm. J. Welch also had a few remarks to make and State's Attorney A. H. Pouse gave a very interesting address on the history of the Woodman lodge. The occasion was the forty-second anniversary of the organization of the society and the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the Woodman lodge in McHenry. Miss Greeta and Rollo Chamberlin gave a musical number and Mrs. A. H. Pouse a most delightful reading, all of which were greatly enjoyed by the large gathering. This was followed by the serving of a delicious supper. Dancing was then indulged in for a few hours, all the old time dances being on the program, which were participated in by old and young. The music was furnished by Miss Dorothy Knox, M. A. Conway and William Quinn. Much merriment prevailed thruout the evening and all pronounced this event the most enjoyable in the history of the two societies. STATE DEPUTY EDW. HOULIHAN NEW P. M. IN OFFICE: N. F. STEILEN BECAME POSTMAS TER THIS MORNING COMMISSION ARRIVED FTRST O* WEEK--SUCCEEDS T. J. WALSH, WHO SERVED TWQ TERMS Nick F, Steilen is now the new postmaster at the McHenry office, he having assumed charge this (Thursday) morning. Mr. Steilen received his commission the first of the week and since then has spent more or less of his time in familiarizing himself with the work connected with his new post of duty. Thomas J. Walsh, who thus has turned over the postmastership to his successor after more than two terms of service to the patrons of the McHenry office, steps out knowing that he"has given the position the very best that he possessed and leaves the office with many pleasant memories of the work so faithfully performed by him during these 'eight years and more. His going calls back to mind the days leading up to his appointment and how he finally won out after another of our honorable citizens had been confirmed and practically appointed to the position. Mr. Walsh, a life long Democrat and probably one of the most faithful supporters of the party that this community has ever known, felt that he was entitled to some recognition and after several weeks of effort the order was changed and Mr. Walsh appointed to the office. Candidates for the office who took €. J. REIHA NSPERG ER SELLS TO H. ALTHOFF .T.'l WILL BE SPEAKER AT K. C. MEETING WEDNESDAY NIGHT State Deputy Edward Houlihan of Chicago will address the Knights of Columbus at the K. of C. hall in this city next Wednesday night. This announcement is sufficient to attract a big crowd as everyone who has heard Mr. Houlihan is well aware of his qualities as a speaker and no doubt he will have a very important message to deliver on this occasion. Mr. Houlihan will be accompanied to McHenry by Al. Smith, recognised as one of Chicago's very best entertainers. An invitation has been extended to the members of the Woodstock and Harvard councils to be guests of the McHenry organization on that night and £he committee in charge will be greatly disappointed if the spacious K. of C. hall is not crowded to the doors on this occasion. A lunch will be served at the close of the meeting. Members of the McHenry council should avail themselves the examination early last year be-. , , , sides the newly appointed postmaster!conduCted L by F;_LJ Mc,°^her were James N. Sayier, Albert Krause, Martin Stoffel and John E. Freund. It is our understanding that the newly appointed postmaster will retain the services of Miss Loretta Steffes, who has assisted Mr. Walsh iii the office during the past few years. In an interview with Postmaster Steilen, the writer was assured that everything would be done to give the patrons of the office first-class service at all times. He considers himself nothing more than a public . servant and will do everything within reason to keep up the excellent reputation that the office has enjoyed in the past Another business change took place here last Saturday morning when Wm. H. Althoff took over the hardware business which has been conducted in the N. J. Justen block on Main street by Chas. J. Reihansperger. The deal whereby the place changed hands was consummated last Saturday with the new owner taking immediate posseession. Mr. Althoff, who thus steps into this well established business, is a wideawake young man and we predict for him a successful future. Altho this is his first business venture, he has had considerable experience in the mercantile field, having assisted his father in the latter's 'store at Johnsburg for a number of years and for a time was also employed by Smith Bros, of this city. Experience gained in this manner will no doubt prove of great benefit to him in carrying on the hardware business which he now owns. He will retain the services of Earl Walsh, who has been a faithful employe of the store for some time past. Mr. Reihansperger, who thus retires from the hardware business, will hereafter be associated with his father-inlaw, Simon Stoffel, in the insurance business. He was associated with Mr. Stoffel a few years ago and at that time gained some valuable experience in this line of work which he has chosen to follow in the future. He came to McHenry from West Chicago about ten years ago, when, in partnership with Walter J. Donavin, purchased the hardware business then A few years ago he purchased the interest of his partner, since which time the business has been owned and conducted by him. The Plaindealer joins Mr. AlthofT's many friends in this community in wishing him success in his new field of endeavor. COMEDY DRAMA HERE JAN. 31 <•. "EVERY DAY" TO BE PRESENTED BY NEW YORK PLAYERS An exceptional entertainment made possible by a very special arrangement Any suggestions as to "the betterment j w>th the Redpath bureau has enabled of the service, we are certain, will be gratefully received by him. A banquet m honor of the out-going postmaster and his successor has been planned by their friends and is scheduled to take place at Juten's hotel this (Thursday) evening.

WALSH AS ITS PRESIDENT TERRA COTTA EMPLOYS 210 MEN CLtlt MONET LAST TSAR AND FUTURE LOOKS PARTICULARLY BRiGHT "Ttae annual meeting of the members of the McHenry Country club was held at the city hall last* Sunday morning with President Richard B. Walsh presiding. Richard B. Walsh was again elected president of the club, a position which he has so creditably filled during the past year, while N. H. Petesch was reelected vice president. Mr. Petesch is also entering upon his second year in this capacity. James N. Sayier was elected treasurer to succeed C. W. Goodell. The board of directors consists of H. H. King, J. M. McOmber, A. H. Pouse, C. W. Stenger, Ben Stilling and W. F. Vogt. According to the report as read the total receipts of the club during the year 1924 were $12,961.15, while a total of $12,650.63 was expended, leaving a balance on hand on Jan. 1, 1925, of $310.52. Included in the disbursements, it might be explained, are a number of items that represent a permanent asset. For instance, $1,310.78 was expended on building «upplies, $113.40 on furniture and curtains. Bonds purchased during the year amounted to $3,898 25. It might also be added that the club at the beginning of the year 1925 had a total of $5,500.00 invested in securities. The interest on these investments during the past year totaled $237.40. Another very interesting item as contained in the report is the revenue derived during the past year thru the source of guest fees, which amounted to $4,673.50, or nearly $600 more than last and this, too, in spite of the fact that the past season, on account of the over abundance of rain, was anything but favorable for the sport. As stated in these columns on various occasions in the past the McHenry course has come to be recognized as one of the best small courses to be found in the Chicago territory and with favorable weather conditions the coming playing season the guest fees for 1925 should top those of last year. Members present at the meeting, who listened to the report with marc than ordinary interest, were, to say MORE TO BE ADDED THIS SPRING AND SUMMER IS PREDICTION Simon Stoffel of this city, who Is ever on the elert when it comes to looking after the welfare of our citizens and who evidently has taken more than ordinary interest in the transportation of die men from this city and community who are now employed at the Terra Cotta factory, has consented HANLY HRM SOU) CHICAGO REALTORS TO SUBDIC- il'IDETRACf McHENRY HEIGHTS IS TO BE THE NAME IN FUTURE--LONG HELD BY HAXLYS After several weeks of negotiating, one of the biggest land deals ever pu$ * 4-v. ui- over in 1"s section of the county has to the publication of the following m-1 been consummated and by the transfer teresting leUer received by him from the Hanly estate property, located the Young Ladies' sodality of St. Patrick's church to sponsor a high-class play on Saturday evening, Jan. 31, at St. Patrick's hall. This play is given j least, very agreeably surprised at by a New York cast of players and is, the progre8S as made by their club, entitled "Every Day." Those who were fortunate enough to "'Every Day" is one of the great E. Clark, superintendent of the f»ctory:' •• • •: : January^, 1W6. Mr. Simon Stoffel, J McHenry, HI. Dear Mr. Stoffel--We wish to thank you for the attention and assistance you have given towards the transportation of the McHenry employes of this company during last winter and also this winter. We realize the difficulties the busses have to contend with in getting thru the snow drifts in winter and fully appreciate how the McHenry boys have faced these obstacles and come to work with unfailing regularity. It may interest you to know that we are now employing, around 270 men, of which number 75 are from McHenry. This number can and will be increased in the coming spring and summer months providing transportation facilities are made favorable enough to encourage new men using the busses. We have had very satisfactory results from our McHenry employes, and trust we shall be able to employ more and more of them as time goes on. We expect to have a large volume of work this coming year and in years to follow, terra cotta being more and more in demand'as a building material. Yours very truly, American Terra Cotta St Ceramic Co. E. Clark, Superintendent. P. S.--It is interesting to note that $79,000.00 was earned by the McHenry employes last year at this plant. RIVER VIEW INSTALLS MRS. HATTIE SMALTZ OF HUNTLEY IN CHARGE OF WORK ju3t south of the McHenry city limits, on thjg, McHenry-Crystel Lake read, has passed from the ownership of the heirs to that of Robert J. Cummings and Joseph Hoff, Chicago realtors. This big deal, which involves approximately 750 acres of land and a consideration of about $100,000, wa$ first started late last summer and, while it had been reported about the; city at various times that the deaf had fallen thru, the interested parties! apparently did not give up and as st final consequence the big estate, which . ; has been in the Hanly family for these many years, passed into oar ownership. The property oh the death of Geo, H. Hanly, the last of the Hanly family, passed to the only heirs, Dr. H. H, ; Hanly of Peoria and George A. Hanly of Elgin. At one time the estate con-' ' sisted of nearly 1,000 acres, but some of the original tract has been sold off; from time to time during the past few* years. The property, during recent • years, has been divided into four separate farms. ' i The purchasers of the property, so far as The Plaindealer is able to ascertain, plan to subdivide the entire tract and from our best information workj of plotting the tract is to start within the course of the next month. "McHenry Heights" is the nan* , that has already been chosen for the • new subdivision and, judging from ' past experiences of the men who have*> gained title to the property, selling^* activities will start early this spring and it would not surprise us to see thsfr ~ new addition to our city grow very'*"" •rapidly.

ANNUAL MEETING OF~ MILK PRODUCERS' ASSN. The annual meeting and election of officers of the Milk Producers' association will take place Monday, Feb. 2, at the LaSalle hotel, Chicago. The meeting this year promises to be a lively and interesting one. Contests have developed for all the offices except that of secretary. S.C.Rockwell is unopposed for that office. For president Frank Green, the present incumbent, is opposed by Frank T. Holt, who held the office for several terms. There are five candidates for first vice president, two for second vice presiof the opportunity of listening to this j an(j aix for third vice president, noted speaker. The regular meeting of i Krunfuss of Barrington and the council is Thursday night, but for | <j<. Allen of Cary are candidates convenience sake the date has been set j for treasurer. The official ballot will ahead one night, so don't forget thej^ put,iished in next week's Plaindate, Wednesday evening, Jan. 88, and be on hand. SHERIFF EDINGER RAIDS HOME IN THIS CITY This city was again the scene of a raiding party on Wednesday afternoon of last week when Sheriff Lester dealer. The annual meeting and election of officers of the McHenry local is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, Jan. 31. The Quarantine association meeting will take place at the same time and place. The meeting which are brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The play, in three acts, depicts the story of a family in which conditions are somewhat reversed. Judge Nolan is not only possessed of a social "bee in his bonnet," but has high political ambitions as well. He aspires to become governor of his state. His meek little wife submits dutifully to all his whims and stands in awe of his every word. Their young daughter, Phyllis, however, just returned from study abroad, is more than a match for her father and mother when he attempts to govern her love affairs. How she brings about happiness for herself and also for her father and mother, who are after all the same sweethearts of old, is cleverly shown in "Every Day." EXPRESS~OFTICE ENTERED DURING SUNDAY NIGHT The American Express office at the Northwestern depot in this city was entered some time during last Sunday night, the thieves getting away with get in on the first memberships, which were sold at $25.00 each, can readily see that their holdings are today actually worth more than ten times their original purchase price and even those who came in on the basis of $50.00 per member have interest in the club which represents a very neat profit. What is true of the $50.00 memberships is true of those who paid $100, $150 or $200. The club, within the course of the next few years, should be in a posi tion to purchase the grounds upon which they are now paying an annual rental and just as soon as this cranes to pass the profit to the members, should they wish to dispose of their rights, would be no small amount. It may be seen by the standing of the club and the excellent future which it confronts that a membership today not only gives the holder full privilege to the use of the grounds and club house, hut represents a very attractive investment as well. We predict that within the next ten years these memberships will be worth HO less than $1,500 each. It is our understanding that the club still has two or three memberships for sale and anyone wishing to get in should lose no time as these are cer Riverview camp, R. N. A., of this city held installation of their newly elected officers at their hall on Riverside Drive on Tuesday evening of last week. In the afternoon cards and bunco were played and appropriate prises awarded the winners. At 5:30 the gathering repaired to Bickler's hotel, where a five course chicken dinner was served to fifty-five members and to say the least the repast was thoroly enjoyed. During the course of the dinner toasts were given by various members. A number of songs also enlivened the banquet and added greatly to its enjoyment. The installation took place in the evening with Mrs. Hattie Smaltz of Huntley acting as installing officer. At the close of the work gold pieces were presented to the past oracle, installing officer, ceremonial marshal and recorder. The event was greatly enjoyed by the large number of members present.

This is the team which came within an eyelash of winning the Elgin tournament that year. The team's chances of winning the championship of the newly formed league are said to be very favorable. The Hook & Company clothing store at Grayslake was broken into one night last week, this being the third time within a period of a year that the place has been burglarized. A burglar alarm system, installed at the store some time ago, aroused the family residing in the flat above, but the police officer arrived just in time to • see tha ^'wes, four in .number, making til r get-away. The burglars were in the store but a few minutes, but succeeded in loading up about $1,000 worth of merchandise. Two : Grayslake men gave chase in a car, but |ust as the fugitives' car crossed : the North Shore tracks at Waukegan the gates were lowered to permit a train to pass and in this way the school.

Thies, assisted by her daughother articles of more or less value in the office that night, the balance of the property was left undisturbed, which appears to indicate that the thieves knew of the radio sets and that was all they wanted. An investigator from Chicago arrived in McHenry after having been notified of the robbery and a complete investigation Is now being made. It is said that the Express company never gives up in its endeavor to land burglars and it looks like a safe bet that the identity of the guilty party will soon be known.
