Friday Only a .handful turned out at the second meting called for the purpose of receiving , suggestions for the hold­ ing of a community picnic. The meet­ ing took place at Barbian Bros.' cigar factory last Friday evening. That very litte interest was mani­ fested by McHenry business mfen was shown by their absence from the meet­ ings and from what we are able to learn the prevailing feeling among McHenryites appears to be that it is too late in the season for srk!h' an event. This decision w^s also reached at the meeting and it was decided to postpone the event until some time next spring, when the committee hopes to put on one of the biggest events of the kind ever held in lie- Henry county. It was also suggested that more in­ terest be - taken in increasing the membership of the Fox River Navi­ gable Waterway association and plans are now being worked out to accom­ plish this desired end. The Plaindealer has frequently stated in its columns that the Fox river is the • one and only factor we have in bringing people to McHenry and without the river the village as well as the resorts adjoining would amount to very little, especially dur­ ing the summer months. The asso­ ciation has seen fit to place a dam in the river for the purpose of main­ taining a certain height of water thruout the entire year. The dam has been placed there at a big expense land the maintenance of same also costs hundreds of dollars annually. However, the expense of the up-keep of the dam could be borne very easily if everyone interested in the welfare of McHenry and the summer resort region adjoining would do his or her part by joining the Fox River Navi­ gable Waterway .association. The annual membership fee surely is small enough and we sincerely hope that the committee now working out a plan will be successful in bringing the membership up to the desired msin- ber. Be a booster for McHenry by joining the association. Dance a Success The dance, held at Stoffel's hall last Friday evening under the auspices of the Young Ladies' Sodality of St. Mary's Catholic church of this vil­ lage, proved a success in every Way and the happy crowd of young people who turned out were treated to an ex­ ceptionally fine time. The hall was very prettily decorated for the occa­ sion, while the music was as good as any that has been heard in the hall for sgme time pasf:' Owing to the fact that the comm^tee has been unable to locate the holders of the winning numbers for the prizes that were of­ fered, we have been requested to an­ nounce that the holder of ticket No. 36 is the winner of the first prize, while No. 103 takes the Becond. The winner of the first prize is given his choice of a ladies' or gents' umbrella, while the holder of ticket No. 103 may choose between a box of cigars and a box of candy. The prizes are at the store of J. W. Freund and the winners may have same by presenting their tickets to Mr. Freund. Gas Company Repairing Streets The Western United Gas & Elec­ tric company recently had their local representative repair the damage done to the streets during the time that the gas was installed in this vil­ lage. Mr. Conway has done a good job of the repair work and, while there are still a few bad places, the accom­ modating representative has promised ,to fix up everything in a most satis­ factory manner. McHenryites In Camp A number of McHenry business men are enjoying a week's encampment on the east banks of Fox river just be­ low the dam. The party left Mc­ Henry Tuesday of this week and will remain in camp until next Wednes­ day. No doubt they will have some fish stories to relate on their xtturn to town. City Hall Front Finished The finishing touches on the new city hall front were put on on Tues­ day of this week. The front improves the look3 of the place one hundred per cent and with the completion of the inside work McHenry will have one of ,the neatest little municipals to be found anywhere. First to Register Geo. H. Harrison of Ringwood has the distinction of being the first man to register farm names, as per the new law, which became effective on July" 1. Mr. Harrison went over to Woodstock on Monday of last week and registered "Oak Ridge" and "Oak Mound" farms. Justen Didn't Enter Promoters of the automobile races, held at the fair grounds at Wood­ stock on Monday, tried hard to in­ duce Frank Justen, the local speed demon, to enter his car, but for rea­ sons better known to himself Justen WEEKLY EXCIANfiE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES did not enter. , • • f e - MtetHami Assortment of News Items la Condensed Form For Bay People The enrollment of the Richmond public school is 171. The new flour mill at Union will be ready for business shortly. The Lake Geneva, Wis., schools will not open until next Mori&&y, Sept. 13. The Harvard public schools opened last week with a total enrollment of 688 pupils. Harvard is now running Sunday night sfeews, the second town in Mc­ Henry county to do this. The town of Antioch, Lake county, is asking for bids on a $30,000 town­ ship high school building. The Harvard Commercial and Farmers' club will expend $500 on £heir new rest room in that city. E. A. Sylvester, formerly Oliver bandmaster at Woodstock, passed away in that city on Monday of last week. Woodstock will have a town foot ball team this fall and the boys hope to make it the best the city has had in years. Two hundred chickens were stolen from coops at Coleman Bros, at Cole­ man Station, near Elgin, during a recent night. Geo. Moncur, the Woodstock florist, is about to erect a new green house in that city. It will be eighty feet long and thirty feet wide. Business men and others of Wood­ stock are planning on making an auto­ mobile booster run to the Elkhorn fair on Thursday, Sept. 23. Roy Troupe, Harvard calf buyer, was arrested and fined $18 one day recently on a.charge of the shipping of immature veal. Mrs. F. L. Carr won the first prize in a letter writing contest con­ ducted by the Wauconda business men in that village recently. Oscar Bonner, former city marshal of Marengo, has entered the pugilistic field and will fight Jim Flynn at Sugar City, Colo., in the near future. The mayor of Hampshire was ar­ rested at Genoa, HI., one day last week. The charge against him was for speeding/ The usual fine was im­ posed. If the efforts of certain Crystal Lake citizens do not go astray, and from reports from that city they will not, a third banking house will start there in the very near future. It is proposed to start the new institution under the name of The Home State Bank of Crystal Lake and all of the stock will be held by people residing in that city. Lake Geneva News: Since the company has begun running its twelve car train the need of more platform room is very apparent. As it is now the rear car does not come up to the platform, while the boys have to load the baggage and express down by the coal yard. It seems strange that the company would continue to at­ tempt to do business on its small area of property in Lake Geneva with everything crowded, when it can pro­ cure adjacent property and move its freight depot and tracks onto the same. Richmond Gazette: Richmond is evidently eamfng an unsavory repu­ tation in some of our neighboring towns and one person, at least, ap­ pears confident that this village will vote "dry" at the coming spring elec­ tion, considering the following article, which appeared in the Hebron col­ umn of the Harvard Herald under the caption, "Say Richmond Will Vote Dry:" "Richmond, one of the towns that voted 'wet' last spring in an ex­ citing battle, will go 'dry* by an over- Whelming majority next year, so prophesies those familiar with the situation. Since Genoa Junction was compelled to close her saloons on July 1, Richmond has had more than her share of liquor brawls and the peo­ ple now are anxious for a chance to vote out the cause of the disgraceful affairs." Hebron Tribune: On Tuesday of this week we were called upon by Ed­ mund L. Hayes of McHenry, deputy game warden and superintendent of the fish hatcheries at Spring Grove. Mr. Hayes reports that he made ten arrests of violators of the game laws last week, the total fines being in the neighborhood of $200.00. Mr. Hayes has made an excellent official and takes great pride in the fish hatchery and he says that the plant has stocked several lakes and streams in this county the past few months. Up­ on the recommendation of Mr. Hayes, the Fox river has been made a state fish preserve and anyone caught us­ ing other than a hook and line in that stream will be severely dealt with. To date he has not made any' arrests for violations, but it is under* stood that certain parties have been using a seine in the river near Al­ gonquin and we would not be sur­ prised to hear of prominent partieB being up before the court. Brick ice cream may be had tit C. Unti's at any time.

We are glad to see this worthy young man prosper and we hope that his prac­ tice will reach proportions that will some day make him the leading at­ torney of McHenry county. * House Warming Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Spencer tilfWl'-3 tained at a house warming at their beautiful new home in the southwest end of town on Thursday evening of last week. The host and hostess ex­ tended their guests a hearty welcome on their arrival at their home and the evening was most pleasantly spent at cards, after which ice cream and cake were served. Those who made up the happy gathering were: Messrs. and Mesdames M. L. Ott, J. C. Holly, James T. Perkins, Frank E. Cobb, W. D. Wentworth, Miss Varene Wentworth and Mrs. D. Hagey, the last named of Aurora, 111. Work on Borden's Park * Work on Borden's park began in earnest on Wednesday morning of this week.

[Crystal Lake HereldJ " W. D. Gates, head of the American Terra Cotta A Ceramic company, was K. OF PICNIC in Crystal Lake for a few hours Wed-1 Qf the most enjoyable outings will have passed the now eye sore will be transformed intp % most beautiful spot. •*•'•> Caught Some Dandies A number of splendid catches of fish were ipade off the Fox river bridge here over the week end. The first big catch was reported on Saturday, when one man landed fourteen fine bass and the following day fishermen and women were on hand in numbers. Chicken feed at M. M. Niesen's. • ' nesday evening and was interviewed by a Herald representative relative to the future prospects of the institu­ tion and the possibility of the plant being moved to another location. "I have been very busy of late," said Mr. Gates, "and have not given the Crystal Lake situation very much thought, other than to realize that little interest in retaining the factory in their midst was being shown by the people of this community. I am not surprised at this, for I have felt all along that little would be done here, and have been making my plans along other lines. You know I have just recently assumed the active man­ agement of the business and it has kept me1 busy getting back into the harness again. "The American Terra Cotta A Cer­ amic company has bright prospects ahead. We are making a better grade of our product than ever be­ fore and we have orders enough on hand and in sight to keep our plant operating at a profit for a great many months. Our Chicago office has un­ dergone a reorganization and the af­ fairs of the company have been thoro- ly gone over by a (firm of certified public accountants. The results that this audit show are most gratifying. "As to our continuing the factory at its present location, where it has been operated for so many years and proved such a big factor in the up­ building of Crystal Lake, I do not feel under any obligation to remain there unless some interest on the part of the people of Crystal Lake is evi­ denced in the institution. "A little more than two years ago an issue of $200,000 in preferred stock was authorized and a small portion of this stock was sold in and about Crystal Lake. There is still approxi­ mately $150,000 worth of this stock in the company treasury, which we expect to sell. I have offers from other communities, and really expect to make a change, for it is evident to me that nothing will be done here towards taking up any portion of this stock. A few of the citizens have ex­ pressed themselves as willing to take hold, but the situation has been before the public for more than six weeks, and outside of a few individuals who have tried to create some interest in the plant and convince the public that we are in earnest, nothing has been done, and so far as,I can learn no concerted effort has been made since the public meeting which I attended several weeks ago to bring the matter to a head. "Naturally, of course, one cannot move a factory of this kind over night and it may be some time be­ fore anything definite is done. "I am not asking Crystal Lake for anything and do not expect the peo­ ple of the community to give me any­ thing. It is simply a business propo­ sition. The company has a block of preferred stock to sell and some com­ munity is going to buy it. Crystal Lake has shown no disposition to take any interest in the proposition and I the- efore do not feel under any obli­ gation to the town and shall make my plans along other lines." With the above remarks upon the situation Mr. Gates excused himself, saying he had other matters to look after while here. During the week, so the Herald is informed, a subscription paper was gotten up among the employes of the factory and something over $9,000 was subscribed by the workers in one or two departments. Factory em­ ployes are loath to see the plant moved elsewhere and have sufficient" confidence in the institution to take up a goodly share of the preferred stock now offered. As the matter now stands, it seems to be up to the people of Crystal Lake to decide whether or not they can afford to lose this institution and see it go elsewhere. ?• Someone has recently put the situ­ ation in this way: "If the terra cotta plant moves away we will naturally have to try to get some other concern to locate here. To do this we will of course have to buy stock, put up a bonus, give them a site and building or something of that sort, and at the same time not know a great deal about the merits of the concern or its reliability. The terra cotta company has been here for years. It has had its ups and downs and has weathered many a financial storm. Then would it not be better for the people of this community to take up a goodly por­ tion of the stock that is now offered in this institution--particularly as the preferred stock which is for sale is backed by sound assets--than it would be to let this institution move away and then try to find some other con­ cern of which we know HtHe or nothing, to take its placet" . Boat Ride and Picnic to fte Enjoyed Next Sottb^; , 1 - The members of the McHenry Coun*- cil, Knights of Columbus, together with the members of their families and friends, will enjoy (weather per1' Emitting) a boat ride and picnic next Sunday and the committee having the event in hand are planning on one ever held by the council. The excursion boats will leave the Riverside pier at 1:00 sharp and a stop will be made at the Mineola hotel, Fox Lake, where refreshments will be partaken of. Those who con­ template making the trip are kindly asked to plan their own refreshments. The round trip fare for adults will be 50 cents, while children, under twelve years of age, will be carried for 25 cents. Most of the McHenry knights are planninglm taking in the event, while in some cases their families will also be. taken along, which means a big thole. Movie Operator Married Billy «H. Rufe Moore, who since last April has.been employed as the oper­ ator at the Central opera house and Air Some theatre, sprung a little surprise on his friends here on Tues­ day, when he made a trip to Chicago for the sole purpose of becoming the husband of Miss Mayme Schaefer, who has won fame in the theatrical profession. The ceremony was per­ formed at high noon and L. I. Edinger of this village was a witness to the event. Mr. and Mrs. Moore have signed up with a musical comedy company, which leaves Chicago the latter part of next month. The name of the show is "Safety First" and Mr. Moore informs us that they will play big city time on an eastern circuit. Mrs. Moore won fame in the theatrical profession when she carried one of the leading roles in "He, Him and I," which played Chicago some time ago, while he has also appeared in a number of the leading shows in the East. He has been in the pro­ fession ever since a boy and has won for himself quite a reputation as a black face comedian. Since coming to this village he has made many friends and has proven one of the best moving picture operators ever employed here. K. of C. Elect The McHenry Council, Knights ef Columbus, held their annual election of officers at their hall last Thursday evening. There was a big attendance at the meeting and the officers elect­ ed were as follows: Grand knight, M. J. Walsh; deputy grand knight, Chas. W. Gibbs; chancellor, Edwin Heimer; recorder, R. F. Conway; financial sec­ retary, Fred J. Karges; treasurer, John H. Miller; warden, Henry Miller; advocate, ' M. A. Conway; outside guard, William Bickler; inside guard, George Justen; trustee, John J. Mc­ Carthy; delegate to the state conven­ tion, Carl W. Stenger; alternate dele­ gate to the state convention, Thos. A. Bolger. The newly elected officers' will be installed by the district deputy on Thursday evening of next week, Sept. 16, at which time it is hoped that a good attendance, will be on hand. Pistakee Man Married E» M. Miller, who has been spending his summers,^at Pistakee Bay ever since a smalf boy, and who is well and favorably known to many of our readers, has just returned to his home in Chicago after spending a week of his honeymoon trip at his cottage at this place. Mr. Miller was married to Miss Emily A. Tykal of Chicago last month, the ceremony having been per­ formed in that city. Their honey­ moon trip, which came to a close at Pistakee, took in New York City, Atlantic City and White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Mr. Miller has al­ ways been active in affairs at Pista­ kee Bay and especially so in motor boat racing, his craft being among the speediest now traversing the wa­ ters of that beautiful lake. Cleared $78.00 The ladies of St. Mary's church, who served the dinner for the Chi­ cago visitors last Monday report that they cleared $78. Mesdames N. J. Justen and John J. Miller have asked us to extend their thanks to the ladies and girls who assisted in the work of preparing as well as serv­ ing the meal, which proved such a splendid success. 1TCHS «F LOCAL INTEREST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WEEK 'im What People are Dofag in This Vil­ lage and the Immediate Vicinity--- Other Short Paragraphs Batter Market Butter on the Elgin board of trade sold at 26 cents per pound last Satur­ day, School supplies at McAllister's.
