In'spite of tbft thftt Watfcohda raised more money than any of the other towns, the committee represent­ ing the Lake County Soldiers' and Sailors' reunion voted to hold the an­ nual reunion atGraysitke on Aug. 25 and 26. On account of a Severi mile washout of railroad tracks, Golmar Bros.' circus was stalled for two weeks in a city in South Dakota last month. It proved a big problem to feed the circus folks and animals in a tow* of 2,000 during that time. Out of 300 farmera residing in the vicinity of Harvard, whO recently ac­ cepted invitations extended them to be the guests of the Harvard Commercial and Farmers' club, 145 joined the or­ ganization, the membership of which now is over 260. The officers of tbe Noonen Hunting and Fishing club of Chicago, who have their headquarters at Diamond Lake, were hauled into the Lake county Court at Waukegan Monday and as­ sessed a fine of $75 and costs on a charge of selling liquor without a license. Since the village voted itself dry DesPlaines has been bothered more or less with blind pigs and now the more prominent residents of the place have organized a4*w and order leagiie and engaged the services of an attorney for the purpose of wiping put the nuisances. Seven new schools are to be built in Lake county in the near future at a cost of $69,500. The location of the new schools are as follows: North Chicago, Antioch, Libertyvllle, North Prairie-, near Zion City; Winthrop Harbor, Town of Warren near Druce Lake, Rosecrans. The village board of Hebron recent­ ly passed an ordinance to title effect that all gasoline tanks of over fifteen gallons capacity must be placed under ground. The time limit for the tanks to be buried expired today and those who have not complied with the ordi­ nance will be prosecuted. Money has been subscribed among the business men and others at Lake Geneva, Wis., with which to build a seventy foot grand stand at the ball park and also for the erection of a 10x10 pier from a crib in the lake. The pier is to have two diving towers, spring boards and chute the chutes. The suit of State's Attorney David R.! Joslyn of Woodstock against Boone county for the payment of 9550 fees for this assistance in the prosecution of liquor cases last January has been set­ tled, the supervisors of -that county paying the McHenry county man S270. Previous payment of t230had already been paid him. According to a statement made by Olle of the picture show men in Crys- taf Lake, published in last week's Crys­ tal Lake Herald, that city will not support two picture shows. F. E.

The first meeting will be held next Wednesday, July 7. The holiday program at Pistakee Bay on July 4 will be as follows: Spe­ cial power boat race at 10:00 a. m.; spe­ cial race for cat boats at 2:00 p. m.; special race boats in class A at 2:30 p. m. The Pistakee Yacht olub has its sea­ son's program all arranged and is now out in printed form. In looking over the season's schedule of events we see an unusually active season at the Bay this summer. The Pistakee Young Ladies' Card club will hold its first meeting of the season at the club house next Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock. These meet­ ings will be held weekly up to and in­ cluding Sept. 7. The informal opening of the Pista­ kee Yacht club pavilion at Pistakee Bay took place last Saturday evening and proved a most pleasant event. Con­ sidering that this was the season's first event, the attendance was large and all had a fine time. The hotels at McHenry, along the river and at Pistakee Bay and Lake are making arrangements to care for an unusually large crowd on Saturday, •Sunday and Monday. Evidently the proprietors of these places have faith In the motto: "See America First." A cotillion, under the auspices of the Young Ladies' and Young Men's clubs of Pistakee Bay, will take place at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion next Sat­ urday evening. An informal dance will also take plaoe there on Monday evening. Both events are being looked forward to with great pleasure by the members of Pistakee's fashionable clubs. The Fifty Fifty Outing club of Chi­ cago enjoyed an outing at Pistakee Bay last week. The club has its own band and the resorters around the lake were treated to some fine music during their stay at this popular resort. The resorters along the river were also privileged to listen to some fine selec­ tions last Sunday afternoon, when the band oame to McHenry for a short stay at the ball park. As the boat neared the Isberg oottage at Orchard Beach, near McHenry, the members were sa­ luted with the American flag. The band responded by playing "The Star Spangled Banner." On the return trip Mr. Isberg saluted the musicians with the German flag, to which the band responded with the air of "Father­ land." They were cheered by cottag­ ers all along the river. Richard A. Lewis, who Is a member of the band and a personal friend of A. L. Isberg, was very much Impressed with McHen ry and said he would make another visit here some time this summer. Here's hoping he brings the band. what COMI TO HlffiRRY MONDAY M'flENRY TO CELEBRATE GLORIOUS Go to Petesch's and get want when you want it. you PROSPECTIVE AUTOMOBILE BUTERB To prospective automobile buyers, as well as all others interested In auto­ mobiles, I wish to announce that I now have a new Model D-45, six-cylinder Buick touring car on display and in­ vite you to call and inspect this beauti ful car.

Another wedding of more than ordir nary interest to their many friends here was solemnized at St. Patrick's church parsonage at eleven o'clock on Thursday morning of last week, the principals of the happy event being Miss Florence Welch of this place and Mr. Glenn L. Robison of Crystal Lake The ceremony was a simple one and was witnessed by only a few relatives and intimate friends. Rev. Lynch, temporary pastor of St. Patrick's Cath­ olic church, officiated. The bridal couple were attended by Miss Eleanor Phalin, a cousin to tbe bride, and Mr. John Conway, an intimate friend of the groom. After the ceremony the bridal pair, together with the near members of their families, gathered at the home of the bride's parents in this village, where a reception was tendered them. They left on the afternoon train for a short honeymoon trip to Milwaukee and Chicago and will be at home to their friends at Crystal Lake on and after July 15. The bride of the happy event is the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Win J. Welch, two of our village's most highly respected citizens. She is graduate of the McHenry high school and since leaving that institution has taught school most successfully in a number of the rural schools in this locality. She is a pleasant youn woman and her friendB in and around McHenry are numerous. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Robison of Crystal Lake, who formerly resided on a farm near this village. He is a well liked young man and, like the woman of his choice, counts his friends by the score. He is now employed with the Bowman Dairy company at their plant at Crys­ tal Lake, where his services are prov­ ing valuable and trustworthy* The Plaindealer joins their many friends in extending congratulations. CAME NEXT SUNDAY AND MONDAY Moore & Evans of Chicago will fur­ nish the attraction at the baseball park next Sunday and Monday, July 4 and 5. This is the team which appeared in McHenry on May 23 of this year and handed the McHenry lads a 6 to 3 trimming. The club is a well balanced one and is coming to McHenry with the expectation of whipping the locals on both days. McHenry also wants to win on both days and as one of two teams must lose two red hot contests may be looked for. Nemac, who caused the McHenry sluggers so much trouble on his former appearance here, will again accompany the team to Mc­ Henry and will pitch at least one of the games. It will also be of interest to the many loyal supporters' of the game to know that Lewie Bending will go in and pitch one of the two gamep for MeHenry. Games called promptly at 3:00 o'clock. Usual prices of admission will prevail. --<k INDEPENDENCE DANCE The parishioners of St. Patriek's Catholic church of thi| village will hold an Independence dance at Stoffel'8 hall here on Friday evening, July 2.

SCHNEIDER SELLS GROCERY i Anton Schneider has disposed ft his meat market and grocery stock-in F. J. Deinlein of Morton Grove, the latter taking possession of the business this morning. Mr. Schneider has conducted the business on Water street most suc- cessfullyior a number of years and his only reason for selling lies in the fact that the business has grown to such proportions that he and his wife have not been able to handle same as they should like to, together with the fact that good and reliable help is hard to obtain. Mr. Schneider's successor is a man of wide business experience and will, no doubt, make good in McHen­ ry.' We wish the new man success.
