ANNIVERSARY Hr. attd Mrs. C. W. Stenger were guests of honor at a "China Wedding" celebration at the Polly Prim Sunday evening. The occasion gave joy to a merry group of friends and was characteristic of the esteem in which this progressive couple is held. A delicious luncheon was served by the cepadrie waiters of the tavern and the carnally arranged table was enhanced by the beauty of a large bouquet of roses. lite bouquet and a three-piece buffet set were presented to the "bride and groom," who responded wijh words of deep appreciation. All the numbers of the orchestra went well, the syncopated rhythm enlivening the feet of the dancers. The celebration closed with wet! wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Stenger and the assurance of a delightful evening enjoyed by all. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Stenger, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Covalt, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Nye, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Purvey, Mr. and Mrs. William Spencer, and Mr. and Mrs. L Overton. f* Approximately 12,500 Made, to Go Into OrnamentaJ Street Lights ' Approximately $2,500 will be the net proceeds from the McHenry Homecoming and Labor Day celebration, according to the chairman of the finance committee, Carl W. Stenger. The celebration was a grand success all the way through and once more proves that when this city undertakes something the workers here all put their shoulders to the wheel and put it over. The three-day affair was sponsored by the McHenry Community club, assisted by the local post of the American Legion. First, an executive committee was chosen, which appointed chairmen of the various committees, they in torn selecting their helper^ In this way a fine organization was perfctd. The event was advertised for many miles in each direction, with large posters, windbw cards, newspaper advertising and booster envelopee. Very few people within a large radius were without the knowledge that McHenry was again planning a big celebration. Space at the Fox Pavilion park was again secured and entertainers* employed to amuse the crowds. And there were crowds, too, every afternoon and evening. The weather man was exceedingly generous. The extreme dry spell was broken late Saturday night, just about the time for closijp the exhibition and a fine shower during the night settled the dust, making travel the following day a ^ real pleasure.. A number of splendid concert programs were put on by the McHenry band. Saturday evening a quartet was present to provide music and a clown act by a professional funny man entertained all on Sunday and Labor Day. The streets were decorated with streamers across the roadways and welcome signs greeted each and everyone entering the city, no matter from which direction. The net proceeds from the celebration will be turned over to the committee handling the fund to be used for purchasing ornamental street lights for the business districts. This fund already had a good start from the proceeds derived from the celebration here around the Fourth of July. The grand prize, a Ford Tudor sedan, was secured by Fred Kunte, of McHenry, which was given away on Monday evening, at the close of the celebration. A detailed financial rport will be published in The Plaindealer as soon as all the bills of expense have been taken care of. . , Thirty-five charter members, the required number for organising a Kiwanis cub in McHenry, have been secured and the names forwarded to headquarters in Chicago. Another meeting will be held Friday evenly at the West McHenry State bank, at which time a representative from the main office is expected to be present and complete the organisation work. At a meting held last Friday evening, temporary officers were elected, as follows*. President--J. Scott Matthews. First Vice-president -- Carl W. Stenger. ».r Second Vice-president--A. E. Nye. Secretary--E. Bassett. 41 Treasurer--John A. Conrad. A classification committee was appointed by the president, namely: A. E. Nye, L. A. Erickson and John Weber. Although there are but thirty-five members signed up at the present time, it is believed that many more trill join after the charter is secured. There is much work here to be done by a live Kiwanis club. Already a number of propositions are in the minds of the officers and members to be given attention in the nest few weeks. Sun-Dodgero Finish Broadcasting Season The Sun-Dodgers orchestra of our city is fast proving one of the most popular in the country. During the summer they have proved a delight to radio fans by the programs broadcast from the WGES station. To show that the musicians are all and much more than they state themselves to Be, The Plaindealer is publishing the fol lowing letter written by H. C. Lewis, president of WGES, in reply to the statement made by the Sun-Dodgers that they would not broadcast again this season: "Sept 8, IMS. 'The Sun-Dodgers Orchestra, "West McHenry, lit "Attention, Mr. Carl Weber. C? . "Good Morning, Mr. Weber: "A day or two ago Mr. John ford, station director of the WGE8 showed me the letter he had received from you, advising them that you would be unable to appear at station WGES in the future. I want you to know that I appreciate the time and effort you fellows have given so freely in appearing at our station in the past and it may interest you to know, too, that I have been fortunate enough to listen in and get you 'over the air' on several occasions. I greatly enjoyed the numbers you broadcast. *1 hope that conditions will be such that you can again appear at our station and I thank you, again, for your splendid co-operation. .

The verdict should have been a shutout in favor of Jess Davison, who pitched great ball, and deserved it. Ubertyville's lone tally came in the fifth frame and was the result of one of those short pegs to second With a man on third base.

Gray's Defeat Algonquin McHenry and Algonquin hooked up in their season's fourth encounter at the Laftor Day picnic at Carpenter park, Carpentersville, on Monday afternoon of this week and as a result of this meeting the two teams are once more on a piar so far as thp season's The Pistakee Yacht club staged one of the largest and most successful fairs ever given in that place, on Saturday, Sept. 5. The event was advertised for the one day, Saturday, and the place was filled with outsiders as well as residents of the Bay region. A. Bueh'er was the official chairman in charge and did all. in his power to make the event a success. There w«we amusements of all kinds for both young and old. There was a grocery booth, an umbrella booth, and many othera. All were nicely decorated and very attractive. In fact, everything seemed to promise such a good time that tourists passing by just had to stop. There were cars parked everywhere, more than have visited Pistakee at one time in years. One of the main featured of the celebration was the motor boat races, which took place Saturday afternoon. The following are the winners of the various races: Bang and . Go Back--"The City of Chicago," owned by Cernak. The Three Forty--"The Cricket," owned by Croner. Second, "Leota," owned by McCrane. The Five--"Sea Sepp," owned by C. Sepp. Second, "Sweetie," by A. H. Buehler. Seven Twenty-five--"Sweetie the Second," by A. Buehler. Second, "Bob Cork," by Olsen. Last Bang end Go Back--"Miss Martha." All the merchandise of the fair was disposed of and between $3,000 and $4,000 was realized. This money is to be divided between the Yacht and Golf clubs and thereby will go for the improvement of the Bay district. Every year Pistakee continues to have a bigger and better celebration and doubtless the success of the fair next year will be even greater. The grand prize, a Nash sedan, which was to be given away Saturday night, was not awarded, but will be given away Sunday, Sept. IS. MSB. T. L. FLANDEB& The many friends of the T. L. Flanders family, residing near West McHenry, were saddened when they learned that on Tuesday morning, Sept. 1, Mrs. Flanders had passed on to the Greater Life. Her going leaves behind many aching hearts, who know not how to bear the vacancy left by such a wonderful wife and mother and friend. Lorena E. Colby was born in Nunda township on March 18, 1875. She lived there in the family home until June wins are concerned.

Mr. and Mrs. Fraxer will in ChMtuniMTi The McHenry Grays will travel to Burlington, Wis., next Sunday, where they will once more tackle the home club. These two teams met at Burlington on Aug. 2, at which time the home team copped the honors by a count of 5 to 8. The McHenry team will be followed to the Wisconsin city by a big following of fans. Burlington can rightfully lay claim to one of the best base ball parks to be found in any city of its size in the country and to those who have never been there, we would suggest that it is really worth the time to go up and see the grounds. It's a nice ride and you are certain of witnessing a close and exciting battle. Tern will be back in the lineup and Baily, also, will be there. Theee two teams have met on many occasions during the past three seasons and the score has never varied more than two points. Let's go!

Ttwee present were Mrs. Walter Carey and Misses Lola Boyle, "Toots" Keimer, Marguerite Overton, Rosina Freund, Anita Fruen, Mary Walsh, Dorothy Walsh and Helen Justen. The Mothers' club met at the home of Mrs. A. H. Pouse Friday afternoon, Sept. 4. Owing to the very hot weather the attendance was not very large. One membership was added and it is hoped others may follow. Visitors are always welcome. * The following interesting program was given: "Learning by Trying"--Mrs. P. Justen.

Monday's game by a score of 2 to 1 It was a stubborn fight from start to finish an|i it looked at times as if the contest yould surely go into extra innings. A young man, Wheeler by name, graced the mound for the Grays, and while very little was known of him before the contest, we are here to tell the world that the local fans had a great deal of respect for him after the game. Just what he possessed no one found out, not even Kingsley, but the fact remains that he kept the Indian slug* gers well at bay throughout the entire contest and only for Heyke's home-run in the second, the day would have been a perfectly lo ely one for Mr. Wheeler.

Flanders, going then to the Flanders home, five miles south of West McHenry, where she resided until her death, Sept. 1, 1926. To this very happy union were born two children, Villa and Mildred, both of whom have grown to young womanhood. She is survived by these daughters and her husband, her mother, Mrs. Henrietta Colby, and sister, Mrs. Lee Lockwood, both of Crystal Lake. Rena Flanders was a true representative of the .type of the home-loving, home-making wife and mother. Her family, home and friends filled her interests completely. Her neighbors found her ever a helpful, cheery, sympathetic aid in times of need, and so sweet was her loving, wholesome personality that even those who knew her but slightly felt her dearness. The host of friends who came from far and near to attend the services, and the profusion of beautiful flowers evidenced the wide circle of friendship that was hers. No cross word was known to pass her lips. Even during the weeks of illness that preceded her death, she constantly maintained her usual happy, generous, cheery disposition. Her deep love given to those around her must remain so vivid in their memories that it would seem as though hers will still be a near presence to them The funeral service was read at the home at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon by Rev. Dick, of the M. E. church at Crystal Lake. Two beautiful solos were sung by W. Irving Horn. Interment Was in the Crystal Lake cemetery.
