The mixer had been at Grays lake for more than a year. Ground is being cleared at Hebron preparatory to the erection of a new telephone exchange building to be erected by the Farmers' New Era com pany.

Williams of Grayslake has sold his garage, stock and business in that village to Ludwig Piehler of Chicago. The garage, located on Belvidere road, in the south end of Grayslake, was built about a year and a half ago by Mr. Williams who has successfully operated the place ever since. The purchaser also operates a garage in Chicago and therefore will place A. W. Werhane in charge of the Grayslake place. Rev. C." F. Caldwell of Zion City, overseer, of the little flock of Zion residents who always have remained faithful to the late Mr. Dowie, recently returned home from Mexico where he has taken an option on 75,000 acres of land with a view of establishing a new Zion colony. Mr. Caldwell says that the land is rich in oil and already he is negotiating with large oil companies with a view of developing it. He is planning on returning to Mexico on March 15. Actual work on the five-mile stretch from the Kane county line, thru Algonquin and thence connect up with route 19, east of Crystal Lake, is to start in the very near future.

' The purpose of the meeting, as explained by E. R. McGee, who was instrumental in calling the men together and who incidentally acted as •the chairman of the evening, was to fret the business men of that section of the city organized for the common good of the section and the people residing therein. Mr. McGee expressed himself of the belief that the time had come when this section should be organized in a body which would hold for its object the betterment of the streets and the business houses. - He called upon most of the gentlemen present for an expression and after the rounds had been made it became evident that all were in favor of an organization of some sort which would do the work as outlined by Mr. McGee. Several matters of more or less importance to the new organization and its members as also to the citizens of the city and community in general were mentioned during the evening and ab a result of this, the newly elected officers were given something to work on which will assist them very materially in outlining the programs to be followed out at the coming meetings. No name has been chosen for the new organization altho this matter will undoubtedly be taken care of at the next dinner meeting to be held at six o'clock next Tuesday evening at which time every business and professional man in Centerville is kindly asked to be present. F..G. Schreiner was elected president of the new organization with Thos. P. Bolger as a secretary. RESPECTEDRESIDENT DIES IN TUSCALOOSA, ALA. LOUIS P.

BUNCO CLUB Mr. and Mrs. George Young pleasantly entertained the S. K. Y. Bunco club at their country home at Emerald Park on Monday evening of last week, troyed by fire some twenty-five years ago. After his marriage he and his wife took up their abode on the Michael Justen farm near Pistakee Bay, now owneil and occupied by John Regner. Here they made their home for thirteen years. Mr. Freund then purchased from John Schumacher the farm now known as the old homestead and located about three and one-half miles east of this city. Here the family continued to make their home for twenty years, coming to take up their residence in this city in 1916 and where the deceased had made his home continuously ever since. Mrs. Freund preceded her husband In death only a trifle over a year ago, passing away in this city on December 17, 1923.

During the many years in which he resided in this city and community he proved himself a most highly esteemed citizen, a good neighbor and dependable friend. To his family he was always a loving husband and kind father while he -never forgot his obligations to his church and God. His entire life, up to the time of his last illness, was (me of unusual activity, industry and strict integrity. The funeral took place from his late home and thence from St. Mary's tatholic church at 9:30 o'clock last Saturday morning with Rev. Father Ceus officiating. The last sad rites were largely attended, the members of the Knights of Columbus turning out in a body. Interment was made in the family lot in-St. Mary's cemetery. The sympathy of their many friends is extened to the members of the bereaved family. MOVES FROM LAKE GENEVA L. R.

Mr. McDonald now has charge of the mechanical department of The Plaindealer, a position which he has been filling for several weeks. Henry W. Babcock of Walworth, Wis., is also a new acquisition to the Plaindealer staff, being engaged as the linotype operator.

Other lots will be laid Local boosters for the McHenry baseball club have taken a new manner of raising at least a portion of the fund that will be found necessary to insure a club in this city during the season of 1925. These boosters, who have formed within their ranks a committee on finance, have arranged for a series of basket ball games to be staged in the McHenry high school gym during the next few weeks, the. net proceeds calling together a number of McHenry men for the purpose of asking their co-operation and n\ming them as the solicitors. This gathering took place at the home of Mr. Wftlsh last Friday evening. The solicitors appointed at"this meeting and who went out the following morning were Carl W. Stenger, F. E. Covalt, George A. Stilling, N. H. Petesch, C. Unti and F. G. Schreiner. While some of these solicitors started .out on Saturday morning, others did not take up the task until after one o'clock, and surprising as it may seem, these gentlemen were able to report to their chairman tfcat J£iey had been successful in going over the top before three o'clock that afternoon. Thus the true Christian and charitable disposition of the citizens of this lar favor among thousands of smokers in the territory supplied.

A neat sura was realized as the result of the efforts of the ladies. baseball fund The first of the series of basket ball games will take place in this city next Tuesday evening, March 10, at which time the Woodstock Alumni will oppose the Rockford Wolverines. These two teams have gone thru a number of tough battles during the past two seasons and their battles never fail to draw a large crowd. The local management looks for a big turnout at this game, as well as the 'games to be staged here in the future. McHenry has never had the opportunity oi watching professional basket ball and as the high school teams have wakened gregt interest here, these games are certain to be well patronized. Don't forget the first game at the McHenry community high school gym next Tuesday evening, March 10. BOHLANDERS LEAVE ToR THEIR CHICAGO HOME Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bohlander, who last Thursday disposed o£ their household effects at auction sale, left the latter part of the week for their new home at 5120 Park avenue, Chicago. if ever there was a cause for true charity, here is one, and the manner that our citizens responded to the call is sufficient proof that they saw an opportunity to once, again exercise their love for the thousands who have been lef^ in unfortunate circumstances as a direct result of the late world war. Three hundred dollars was raised in this city and a check for this amount has already been forwarded to headquarters. Because of the fact that the local drive was put on without any preliminaries, or advance advertising, there may be some who did not understand, when they were approached by solicitors, just what it was all about and for the benefit of these as also the public in general Commander McGee has left with us a Manual of Procedure as prepared at headquarters and from it we have copied the following details, which explain quite fully, the purpose of the drive: There rests with The American Legion, in conjunction with government agencies, the major responsibility for the care and cure of the disabled men of the United States forces in the business any further and thus his decision to close out the stock and quit. Just what disposition will be made of the building which has housed the cigar factory during recent years re A report has become current that the farm had been purchased as a site for the American Brotherhood of Yoemen's proposed "City of Childhood". As a matter of fact Elgin papers just seem to insist that this has been the purpose of the purchase. However, If this is the case, The Plaindealer repr«i» sentative was not so informed, either by the Chicago men or Mr. Stenger. Mr. Stenger informs us that he knows nothing about such a venture. The price as paid for the property is understood to have been something over $91,000. The estate, since tfrf death of George Hanfy here a year at more ago, went to the only surviving heirs, Dr. H. H.
