A public hearing on the matter of paving certain streets at Grayslake will be held in that village next Saturday. ; A .. The Modern Woodman camp at Barrington celebrated its thirty-fifth anniversary last week. The camp boasts of a membership of 281. Plans are now be ng formed for the construction of a new Baptist church at Waukegan. The proposed building will cost something like $150 000. Walter Allen McAfferty, at one time owner and publisher of the Lake Geneva News, passed away at his late home at Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 20. C. J. Williams, who has been selling Buick cars for Ovrtcn & Cowen from the Harvard garage, has taken over the McHenry county agency frfr the Dodge car. Fred Born was found guilty of violating the prohibitory law by a jury in the Lake county court at Waukegan last Thursday. A motion for a new trial was made. Miss Helen Robinson of Lake Geneva, Wis., a senior at the Wisconsin State University at Madison, has been selected as one to represent her class in the international swimming contest. The National Office Supply company, which has been located at Zion since 1906, has purchased ground and will erect a new factory building at Waukegan. The concern employs 100 people. • The Avon town board last week appointed D. G. White assessor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Wayne Harvey. Avon township is in Lake county and includes the Village of Grayslake. A team owned by Donald Stewart and driven by a hired man became unmanageable just as the driver was pulling up to the Borden factory one morning last week with the result that the bob was overturned and nearly 1,000 pounds of ntilk spilled. Fourteen prisoners are now confined in the McHenry county jpil at Woodstock. While this is not the largest number ever harbored at the bastile at one time, there are enough "boarders" there to keep the sheriff and his assistants quite comfortably busy. Six of the above are federal prisoners. A toboggan slide 30 feet high, 8 feet wide and 100 feet long, erected on the Crystal Lake Country club grounds, has been furnishing no end of enjoyment, to hundreds who have gathered there during the past few weeks. More than 200 people participate in the sport a week ago last Sunday. During a brief period in which the chief clerk had stepped into a local bank one day last week the cash drawer at the Western United Gas & Electric company office at Crystal Lake was robbed of t$8.00. The drawer contained about $25 at the time and why the thief did not take all of it remains a mystery. Charles F. Thome, for a'most forty years one of Woodstock's foremost and successful business men, passed away at his late home in the county seat city last Thursday evening. He is survived by his widow, one son, W. S. Thorne, and a daughter, Mrs. Earl Bower of Chicago. The son took over his WILL BE HEARD FROM 8TATIOH WLS FRIDAY TAX RATE INCREASE RATE AS APPLIED TO THIS COT INCREASED 39 CENTS over the radio tomorrow (Friday) noon and evening. Father Nell has, for a number of years, taken a great interest in the little folks. At Island Grove, 111., where he is now pastor of St. Joseph's church, he has organized the young people of his town and parish into a unit which has Won for him state wide recognition. Tuesday's issue of the Daily American Tribune, as published at Dubuque, la., carried a very complimentary story regarding Father Nell's activities ^nd his first % appearance as a radio speaker/ We take pleasure in reproducing the story: A "Chicago--Father George M. Nell of Effingham, 111., the rural parish I priest, who worked out a "Play-for Health" program in his parish with such success that it was adopted by the Illinois Tuberculosis association for state wide use, has been invited to come to this city and deliver two radio addresses on the remarkably successful country activities he has built up in his parish. The address will be broadcast Friday, Jan. 30, from station WLS here at 12:00 noon aftd 8:00 p. m., and each will be an hour in duration. 'Father Nell is an authority on rural and urban community life and his own parish is often pointed to as a model. His "Play-for-Health" movement was so effective that the Tuberculosis association not only adopted it as a primary weapon against the white pleague, but made Father Nell the director of the association's statewide campaign to encourage it. He has vigorously begun his work as director, organizing a demonstration service for counties at cost and writing a seventy page book of general instructions on the plan."

Nell, who- was born and raised at Johnsburg, and who is well and favorably known thruout thisCOMMUNITY HIGR gCHOOL section of the county, will be heard JUMPg FROM $138 TQ $I.47_ CITY RATE INCREASES Now that tax paying time is again near at hand, local taxpayers will no doubt be interested in knowing just what their taxes will be. So that all may be in * position to take the shock more easily when their statements arrive, we might say that the increase to those residing within the corporate limits of the city of McHenry will be thirty-nine points over last? year, while the increase to rural residents will be a trifle less. The rfcte as it will apply to taxpayers in the city of McHenry will be $6.24 for every $100 assessed valuation. Thus, if your assessed valuation is $500 your tax assessment will be $31.20. If your assessed valuation is $1,000 your tax will be $62.40, and so on. It does not take much of a mathematician to figure out one's taxes if you know your assessed valuation. Many Plaindealer readers have formed the habit of saving the issue of this paper containing the assessment roll and when tax paying time rolls around they refer to it in posting themselves on their own taxes as well as that of their neighbor. This list is published about the first week in July of each year. . • ' The tax rate as it applies to McHenry this year is as follows: 1923 1924| State ........$ .50 , $ .66 County 50 ' JO' Town 14 ; . .15 Road and Bridge .60 .61 < City 1.33 1.50 School Dist.

The scene of "Every Day" is laid in a middle western town, but the action is typical of any community. Judge Nolan, proud, pompous, powerful, has social and political ambitions. He aspires to become governor of his state. His wife is a meek little woman who stands in awe of her ambitious husband. She strives valiantly to keep things running smoothly in their household and spends any spare moments she has in crocheting. Their young daughter, Phyllis, who has just returned from European study and travel, views with disdain some of the people in her home town. Sn is frankly dismayed at the attitiile of her parents. The judge, not satisfied with his social amd political schemes, plans a marriage between his daughter and one of his rich political friends, but Phyllis has plans and a mind of her own. Just how she evades the marriage trap set by her father and a designing "friend of the family," and brings happiness to herself and her parents as well are interesting epi- TERRA COTTA OFFICIALS THANK McHENRY MEN FOR KEEPING ROAD O!

The letter came from Ernest Clark, "superintendent of the Terra Cotta factory, and is self explanatory: Terra Cotta, J<mi.,2& 19S5. Mr. Peter W. Frett, L,/: West McHenry, 111. ? , >< Dear Mr. Frett--We wish to thank you and Mr. Floyd E. Covalt for the wonderful work you. both did in making it possible for the boys using the McHenry busses to keep up their regular schedule and to arrive at their work punctually and without any loss of time. The roads were in very bad condition on account of the snow drifting and piling up, and we do not hesitate in saying that if it had not been for your assistance, it would have been impossible for the busses to have gotten thru. We have told our men who have been working on the roads to put forth their efforts and the spare time they may have to keeping the roads clear. We have asked them to get on the road today and do as much as they possibly can to break up some of the hard snow that had drifted in the road in places in the past few days, so that it will not be such a strenuous job when the new snow drifts in again. What you accomplished was a hard task for you both and, in going over the road yesterday, I certainly was surprised to see what it was possible for two determined me to do. Ordinarily it would have taken six to eight men with teams and scrapers to accomplish the same amount of work, and if you knew how all the McHenry boys appreciated this effort of you and Mr. Covalt you would both feel gratified. . - ! The America!! Terra Cotta A Ceramic Co. sincerely wishes to thank everyone who has in any way facilitated transportation of the McHenry employes and enabled these men to put in their full quota of hours per week, which, as everyone knows, means a great deal to a working man in the winter season. Years very truly, Ernest Clark, Supt. As shown by Mr. Clark's letter which was published in last week's j issue of The Plaindealer, this factory^ means a great deal to McHenry and from present indications it now looks as if we are soon to see the day when one hundred or more workmen will be employed at this plant. McHENR^TcOUPLES ENJOY OLD FASHIONED BOB RIDE DAIRYMEN TO ELECT ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD HERE SATURDAY LO&AL UNIT HAS NEARLY 100 PER CENT MEMBERSHIP--TO MEET AT COMMUNITY HIGH The local unit of the Milk Producers' association will hold its annual meeting and election of officers next Saturday afternoon, Jan. 31, at which time it is hoped that a large number of the members will be present. The McHenry unit is probably one of the strongest in the county. At least, it cap boast of nearly 100 per cent membership, which is certainly a record that many like organizations would be mighty pleased to own. It seems, that after years of strife among milk producers of the McHenry territory, the farmers have finally gotten together and are working hand in hand for their best interests. The results of this co-operatu^ have already been witnessed thru better prices and marketing conditions in general and with such an organization BANQUETED OUR POSTMASTERS gjT DQIJTF Ct T. J.

SRTTEKILIf-J ' MN ARE HONORED A very fine crowd of representative men of this city gathered at Justen's hotel last Thursday evening to partake of a banquet in honor of Thomas J. WaLh, the retiring postmaster of this city, and Nick F. Steilen, who is succeeding Mr. Walsh in the office next Monday morning. . Occasions have been rare in McHenry when such a splendid group of men have gathered for an occasion of this sort and the good fellowship that predominated thruout the evening was an outstanding feature of the hiappy occasion. The banquet, such as onty mine host, Fred Jus ten, and his pleasant and accommodating wife know how to prepare, was typical of the meals which have gone to make this hostelry a popular stopping place in hundreds. At the conclusion of the banquet, George Bphr, president of the McHenry Community club, in the capacity of toastmaster, had a few appropriate remarks to make, after which practhe producers may be very reasonably ,t ically eve,ry, one sea„te d, around the assured that their future interests banquet teble was called upon for an will be as well guarded as they have fn the past year or more. The out-going officers of the local unit, who may be re-elected next Saturday, have good reason to feel proul of their last year's achievements and when one looks over the list of memberships it is plain to be seen that a thoro canvass of the territory has been made. Believing that it would be of interest to members of the association a.* expression. The response in every case was filled with wordsKof praise for the outgoing postmaster and well wishes for his suc^ssor. Of course, the occasion would not have been complete without a response from the two men in whose honor the occasion was planned and executed. N. H.

Leaving McHenry shortly after | dinner the party started north to j Johnsburg and thence to the country j home of "Butch" Freund, where they were treated to refreshments. On the return trip they arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Freund in the late afternoon, where a most palatable supper was served, followed by the playing of pinocle. Before starting the card games, a small balloon was fastened to the ankle of each of the players,« special prize being offered the one whose balloon would last the longest. This prize went to Mrs. Jos. W. Rothermel. Mr. and Mrs. Michels were accorded high honors at cards. The occasion, needless to say, was very much enjoyed by those participating. Much merriment prevailed during the ride over the country roads, while Joe Rothermel was given a good work-out when he decided to get out and walk for a ways and then had his time in again catching up with the party. Just about the time that Joe decided to walk the horses seem to take a notion to speed up a bit. One can easily imagine just what happened. THANK YOU, KIND FRIENDS I take this public manner of expressing my thanks in appreciation for the very fine gift of a walnut Windsor rocker presented to me last Wednesday evening by the rural letter carriers and clerks in the McHenry postoffice.. Those responsible for the gift are D. I. Granger, C. R. Page, Albert Justen, Misses Loretta Steffes and Florence Conway. Please remember, friends, that your kindness is deeply appreciated and will ever remain in my memory as one of the real pleasurable moments of my life. Thomas J. Walsh.

MCHENRY'S NEW FIRE TRUCK NOW HERE POPULAR DEMAND FOR CEMENTING TO RICHMOND • ".H KANE AND COOK COUNTY Wb- TORISTS PULLING FOR ALGOSf- QUIN-RICHMOND ROUTE There is a possibility that work «n the construction of route 61, whij*, when completed, will give this city good road connections with Wisconsin route 12 on the north and route 22 on the south, will start tltis year. A'tho bids for this stretch have been advertised, there appears to f>e quite a popular demand for the building of this road at the earliest possible moment. According to last Friday's Elgf» Courier, a contract has already bettai awarded for the connecting link be-;, tween route 20, which at the present time extends from Kane to the Me- Henry county line, just south of Algonquin, and route 19, which extends east from Crystal Lake. This stretch of hard road will pass thru the village of Algonquin and thence north to route 19. The contract was awarded to a Milwaukee firm, the consideratisn being $100,000. Work will be startsd as soon as possible in the spring. It is further stated that the village of Algonquin has agreed to pave the full length of the road thru that municipality. The contract as awarded to the Milwaukee firm takes up a stretch about two and one-half miles la length. T. J. Schmitz, president of the Elgin Motor club, and who has probably been more active in boosting good roads, is authority for the statement that the next move will be for the building of a stretch to extend north from route 19, thru Terra Cotta, Ife Henry, Richmond and thence to connect with route 12 on the Illinois-Wisconsin state line north of Richmond. While Woodstock and Hebron good roads boosters have been active is sponsoring a movement which it Is hoped will eventually see the COB> struction of a cement ro&d connecting the two municipalities and thence oa to the Wisconsin state line, it is said that many hundreds of Chicago motorists, whose summer interests are at Lake Geneva, want route 61 completed first and, in view of this fact, McHenry and Richmond are entertaining hopes that this improvement can and will be started this year. The stretch between this city and the atment road north of Richmond is a p«w ticularly bad one and with the heaty travel, especially during the summer months, it looks to us as if the Illinois highway department will see to it this road is built at the earliest sible moment. McHenry people will, no doubt, ho pleased to learn that the citizens 9f Elgin and other cities to the souiil are greatly interested in the completion of this stretch and with Mr. Schmitz seemingly very much inters ested we may feel confident that thftr hustling automobile official will not rest until the job has been let. McHenry citizens, too, should get busy. No time should be lost in let» ting the state know that we want this road and want it badly. The citizeas of Richmond, we are certain, are just as anxious and will co-operate with us in extending every effort to McHenry's new fire truck, which has about the building of route 61. caused more or less controversy, has finally arrived and will be given its j DONALD GIVENS NOW ENmeeting of t h e Milk Producers asso- official test next Monday morning, ac-j GAGED BY W.
