A little girl at Delavan was recent­ ly suffocated when a toy Walloon be­ came inflated after she had swallowed same. The Grayslake Times complains that there are too many unemployed young men loafing about the streets of thfrt Tillage these days. According to present indications, the big Coon creek drainage ditch over near Marengo will be completed '•one time in October. A catfish, tipping the scales at twenty-six and one-half pounds, was recently taken from the waters of Fox river just north of Silverlake, Wis. The village of Harrington has just pafesed its amiflal tax levy ordinance, wl<ich calls for $8,450 to be appropri­ ated for various purposes for the yeir 1917. A. C. Stoxen of Hebron threshed eighteen acres of barley last week, the yield being 700 bushels or an av­ erage .of forty-one and two-third bmhefo to the acre. i The Elgin & Belvidere iJlectric Railroad company has re-established til car shops at Marengo and here­ after repairs will be made- in that <*«? instead of Elgin. TKe R. J. Warner store at Crystal Bake, during the past few months occupied by the Pugh Stores com- pMy, has been traded by its owner tit Edward Keating for a farm near iflantley. D. Herely £ Sons of Harvard have S&trted operations whereby they will increase the elevator and warehouse capacity of their plant to. 100,000 bushels of grain and 500 tons of hay and feed. x , The police officers of Crystal Lake have been measured up and will soon appear in regular uniforms of blue with brass, buttons. Guide posts will also be erected in that city where mostly needed. , "** Two peddle*** offering needles, court plaster and gum tissue, ap­ peared at Marengo one day last week, but their stay was cut short thru the efforts of the village officers, who ordered them out. The Pugh Stores company's Crys­ tal Lake house is selling out its stock of goods and will quit. The Crystal Lake store was 'opened up some months ago, but evidently did not prove a paying investment. The annual yacht race of the Lake Geneva Yacht club will take place at Lake Geneva on Saturday, Aug. 25. The race starts from .Lake Geneva at 10:00 a. m. and the course is from Hint city to Fontana and return. The village of Grayslake has had a public pier constructed at the lake there for the convenience of their people who enjoy boating and fishing. The board at the last regular meet­ ing also voted to purchase 500 feet of new fire hose at a cost of 95 cents per foot. Automobile and motorcycle arrests are becoming quite common down at Crystal Lake, where law offenders are being pulled in and fined almost daily. The Elgin Courier does not like the manner in which some of the Elgin people have been arrested there and comes right out and says so. The engineer at the Borden factory at Hebron was seised with a sudden attack of insanity while at his work one morning last week and started to attack his fellow workers with a shovel. He was overpowered and •ylcon to his home, where he is now recovering. It is thought that worry over financial reverses tirought on the spell. • E)ynamite with a time fuse was discovered underneath a car at Rond- out, Lake county, one day last week. There was enough dynamite to blow up the entire place and had the same not been discovered there is no tell- big what the result might have been. The general supposition is that the charge was intended for Charles Meyers and Si Cummings of Wauke- gan, special officers for the railroad companies operating lines thru that village, as the charge was found underneath a cat occupied by the two Waukeganites. * A meeting of Wauconda stockhold­ ers of the P. L. Z. & W. Ry., now operating between Palatine and Wau­ conda, was recently held. The pur­ pose of the meeting was to talk over the question of taking the road out of the receivers' hands. The general feeling seemed to be that this could be done and at the same time make the property a paying investment by a better equipment. How­ ever, such a move requires consider­ able money and it remains to be seen whether or not the present stock­ holders are willing to put more money into the enterprise. yo^r American Red Croqfc .j I "HM ANNUAL MISSION SERVICES Held h Driving Park Sunday ed by 200 People diy^ttend- Oh Sfunday last the fttontatti Evan­ gelical Lutheran Zion's congregation of this village held its annual mission services in the driving park at West McHenry and the receipts, which will be forwarded to the India mission, exceeded all expectations. Rev. H, Laui'er of Woodstock took charge of the program, Which was carried out in a very creditable manner. The preaching by Rev. Moidenhatfer of Algonquin and Rev. H. Kowert of Elgin in the afternoon was given the utmost attention, the former preach- in German at 2:00 o'clock, while the latter gave Ms sermon in English at 3:30 p. m. More than two hundred people at­ tended regardless of the threatening rainclouds during the entire day. The members of the Zion congrega­ tion here were more than pleased and the annual mission day of 1917 will long be remembered by all who at­ tended. Motor to Ke«osha It was § dust-covered, but merry crowd that stepped out of'two ma­ chines on arriving in Kenosha last Sunday. The home of Heleiv and Ed­ win Heimer was the scene of merri­ ment, where a number of old McHenry friends spent the day in a lively fashion. For an hour or more the neighborhood was serenaded, as there was a piano and plenty of music. After everyone had had sufficient op­ portunity to exercise his lungs, all scrambled into cars and whizzed off to the beach. Two of the boys were brave enough to take a dip, but they had to admit that it had been rather a "chilly reception." At six-thirty a fine dinner was served and just be­ fore leaving there was mere to eat in the form of ice cream ; and cake. Those constituting the party Were: Misses Laura Barbian, Helen Heimer, Lenore and Julia Freund; Messrs. Mervin Kent, Arthur Hunter, Loren Martin, Chris Burkhartsmeier and Ed­ win Heimer. MoHKNRY.

Justen, who recently dis­ posed of his farm near Pistakee Bay, has jUst purchased a 320 acre im­ proved farm near Cando, N. D. The farm is situated only a mile and one- half from town and is considered one of the best in that section. The price paid, we understand, was $55 per acre. Mr. and Mrs. Justen have just returned from Dakota and are very well pleased with the country and its future prospects. Cando is a town of 1,500 people and is modern in ever respect. The city, a county seat, has six churches of different denominations, a fine high school as well as graded schools and has all the modern conveniences. The sale was made thru Ben Stilling, the McHenry real estate agent. Mr. Justen and his family expect to leave for their new home some time the latter part of next month. D. E. Payne Reaigna D. E. Payne, who during the pUSt eleven years has acted as the local agent for the Ottawa Brewing com­ pany, has resigned his position with that' company, his resignation taking effect last Saturday night. Mr. Payne proved himself a good man for the job that he has held during all these years, but has been forced to give up the work on account of rheumatism, from which he has suffered for some time past He is succeeded by Henry Reith. Mr. Payne is undecided as to what he will do in the future, but for the present, at least, he will take a much needed rest. Returns From Hospital • Mathias Steffes retured home from Chicago last Saturday, where he re­ cently underwent an operation for ap­ pendicitis at the West Side hospital. Altho still a trifle weak as the result of the operation, Mr. Steffes feels very much improved and hopes to be able to get back into the harness at an early date. His many friends in and around McHenry will be pleased to know that the operation was en­ tirely successful and that Math, is on the road to complete recovery.

Hoover, McHenry, HL 'Two Chk-*ftOaIts At Fox Lake--Fox Lake Fire Depart­ ment Holds Harvest Ball The cool weather of the past week or more has put a crimp into shim­ ming. However, lovers of this recre­ ation are hoping for Warmer days. The water in the river has gone down considerably during the past two weeks and most of the resorters are agliin able to make Usfe of their piers. Loafers of the sport are now seen on Pistakee's beautiful new golf grounds daily and we expect to hear of some good records before the sea son comes to a close. The Amphien Quartet club of Chi­ cago will hold its ahnual three-day outing at the Orchard Beach hotel over Labor day. This club has been coming to McHenry during the past four years and their visits are al­ ways enjoyed by the resorters along ^ox rivet, who thoroly enjoy their music. Mrs. C. W. Nelson and daughter, Katherine, of Chicago, who are sum­ mering at "Camp O.," McCollum's lake, have as their guests Mrs. J. A. Anderson and the Misses IreneA An­ derson,, Greta Karling, Selma West- erlin and Marie Eberhardt, all of Chicago. A big crowd attended the annual harvest dance given at the Colonial Casino under the auspices of the Fox Lake fire department oh Monday evening of this week. THte music for the occasion was furnished by Hel- vey's Jaz band, while the excellent en­ tertainers assisted in making -the event enjoyable for all. Final preparations have been made for the Lotus day program* which u to be given at the lotus beds at Grass Lake next Sunday afternoon. The program, which is to consist ol vocal as well as instrumental num­ bers, will be in charge of the F\>x Lake Amalgamated orchestra ahd chorus and music lovers are assured of a treat. The concert will begin at 3:00 o'clock. All of the owners of ex­ cursion boats as well as private launches have interested themselves in the event, which gives promise of terminating into one of the grandest of the kind ever undertaken in the lake region. The special feature of the occasion will be the rendition, both vocal and instrumental, of the beautiful ballad, "When the Lotus Are In Bloom." A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend. Bodies Recovered The bodies of the two women who lost their lives in the waters of Fox lake on Wednesday morning of last week were recovered late that after­ noon. The names of the victims were given as follows: Mrs. Rose Primtn and Miss Anna Zimmermann. Beth women resided in Chicago. The Raddecker Film company of Chicago, by whom they were em­ ployed, held a picnic and outing at Fox Lake that day. The patty stopped at the Point Comfort hotel. Mrs. Primm and Miss Zimmermann, together with three women friends, secured a small boat and started out for a row. They had reached a point about midway between Crab Apple island and Point Comfort when their boat, which is said to have sprung a leak, began to fill With water very rapidly. Two men employes of the Film company were swimming a short dis­ tance away and were attracted by their cries of distress. With lusty strokes they swain in the direction of the women, who had been left strug­ gling in the water when the boat sank. About the same time a man by the name of Pierce, who lives on Crab Apple island, leaped into his boat and rowed toward the drowning women. The men swimmers managed to hold up three of the women until the boat arrived, but they could not save the other two, who sank shortly before the boat arrived on the scene. Pierce dragged the three women in­ to his boat and then helped the men aboard. The latter were exhausted and about ready to give up the un­ equal struggle of keeqpg the women afloat. Pierce rowed the victims ashore, and the alarm was sent out immedi­ ately that two of the women had not been rescued. Several men attempted to locate the bodies of the victims by diving, but were unable to do so, be­ cause the water at that point is be­ tween twenty and thirty feet in depth. A call was sent for a lung- motor so that if the bodies were re­ covered there might be a chance to revive them. At the same time a diver was sum­ moned and he set about groping over the bottom of the lake where the bodies disappeared. Boatmen, using grappling hooks, patrolled back and forth practically all day. The point irhere the accident* happened is near the point where seven, people lost their Uvea about fear years agar NBtf GOLF CLUB ORGANIZED Pistakee Golf Club Procures Forty Acres For Nine Hole Course The following well known residents of Pistakee Bay recently organized the above golf club, namely, Fred Wilk, Sr, Fred Wilk, Jr., Fred Mueller, Mrs. Mary McRoberts, Charles W. Peters, Edwin Schillo, A. X. Schmidt, Carl Buehler and Charles F. Glaeser. Charles W. Peters was elected as pres­ ident, Fred Mueller, vice president, and Fred Wilk, Jr., as secretary and treasurer. The directors elected for the first year are Charles W. Peters, Fred Mueller, Fred Wilk, Sr., Fred Wilk, Jr, Carl Buehler, Edwin Schillo and Charles F. Glaeser. The club has procured a forty acre tract of land owned by Jacob Justen, which is adjacent to Pistakee Bay, and is about three miles from McHenry Before procuring the site the club engaged the services of Mr. Mc Oracken, a well known golf course architect of Chicago, to inspect the proposed site and report as to its adaptibility for a golf course. After a careful inspection thereof he pro­ nounced it to be the best he had ever been called upon to inspect, owing to its many natural hazards, its many hills and gulleys and its natural drainage. The location is ideal, due to its close proximity to Pistakee Bay and the beautiful landscape surround­ ing it. A nine-hole course has been laid out and prepared under the di­ rection and supervision of the golf course architect. Playing on the iinks began Saturday. The residents of Pistakee Bay and the surrounding territory are highly elated at the thought of having a golf course, pro­ nounced by many to be the very best in our country, at their very doors. This will surely have a tendency to enhance property values along the shores of Pistakee bay and lake, the Fox river and other, near-by waters, as well as to encourage the settle­ ment in these vicinities of golf en­ thusiasts. The officers of the club are very optimistic as to its future success. They feel confident that the member­ ship will grow very rapidly and hope to have many residents of McHenry numbered among them. The initiation fee is $100.00. The annual dues have not as yet been determined upon ^nd will be an­ nounced later. Non-rasident visitors will be allowed to play upon the course at the rate of fifty cents per day, excepting Sat­ urdays, Sundays and holidays, when the rate will be $1.00 per day. WiH Go Into Training Atty. A. H. Pouse, McHenry's young attorney, who has worked up an excellent practice here since open­ ing an office, will leave the latter part of this month for Ft. Sheridan, where he will enter the second officers' re­ serve training camp. He will be in training for about three months, dur­ ing which time his office on the West Side will be closed. Mr. Pouse re­ ceived notice this week that his ap­ plication for admission to the camp had been favorably acted upon and now busy closing up his business matters here before departing for the camp. John Larsen, son of l£r. and Mrs. August Larsen, former Mc­ Henry residents, and who moved up into Wisconsin only a short time ago, will also enter the camp. Gilbert McOmber, another former McHenry boti was with the first encampment, but we have not learned whether or not he received an officers' commis­ sion, altho we presume he did. Band Concert Tuesday The Weekly band concerts by the MbHenry Military band will be con­ tinued for the balance of the summer season beginning next Tuesday night, Atag. 21. This will be good news to the many music lovers of McHenry and vicinity aqd with favorable weather the concert next Tuesday ight, should attract a big crowd. Dance at Johnsborg The next of the summer series of dances at Smith's hall, Johnsburg, will be held there on Wednesday evening of next week, Aug. 22. Oeffling's orchestra will furnish the music and those who turn out are assured of- courteous treatment and a fine time. Everybody is invited. Pance tickets, 50 cents. ̂ »' Surprise Party Tuesday evening several young friends of Miss Marguerite Knox gave her a pleasant surprise at her home south of here. The party was enter­ tained on the lawn and a marshmal- low roast was enjoyed after ptany fa­ vorite games Music and songs marked the close of the enjoyable surprise. Hdhored Guests Rev. Fr. EL N. Manning of Alton, III., and Rev. Fr. P. H. Masterson of Virden, 111., were guests in the J. M. Phalin home Monday and Tuesday. A dinner was given by Mrs. Phalin at her home on Tuesday^ to which rela­ tives of the family were invited. Their visit was greatly enjoyed by all. 11 M'HENRY YOUNG HEIT ALREADY PICKED FOR NATIONAL ARM* NEW Married Men Here Also Receive Their Exemption Papers--Two More Men Called The members of the McHenry coun­ ty exemption board, who have their headquarters at the court house at Woodstock, are undoubtedly the bus­ iest men in the county today. The work of examining - the first 304 men, who were called by the se­ lective draft, was completed on Wed­ nesday of last week and ever since that time the board has been kept busy acting upon exemptions and cleaning up other matters pertaining to the draft The call and examination of Mc­ Henry . county's first men have brought out many interesting facts. First of all, out of the 304 men called and examined 103 names have been certified to the district bdard as ac­ cepted, while 128 have been exempted or discharged, while the remainder constitute those whose claims for ex­ emption have not been acted upon at the time this article is written and the few who failed to appear for exami­ nation. The McHenry township men who have been called for service, have passed the examinations and who have been accepted by the McHenry county board are as follows: 1 Nick Franzen Louis Zeman William H. Althoff Paul J. Schumacher Stephen G. Adams Edward Tonyan Paul J. Doherty Michael E. Degen Edward Rossmann Homer M. Harper Edward G. Harrison The McHenry township men Who have already been exempted are as follows: Stephen J. Smith Roy Ilankermeyer Mike Pitzen Joseph M. Adams . William Harris Geo. A. Stittfng Kazimer Shilim Louis Smith Nick S. Pitzen Wm. F. Hanson Peter M. Schaefer The above list is not complete and vfas compiled by us at a time when the exemption board was still at work. However, by the time The Plaindealer reaches its readers we presume that all of the married men who asked exemptions have been granted their requests. On account of the fact that the first call failed to produce McHenry coun­ ty's required quota, a second call for an additional 200 men will be issued. The second 200 men will, in all prob­ ability, be called to Woodstock for examination just as soon as the board finishes up the details connected with the first call. Or the 304 men called for exami­ nation last week only thirty-four were discharged as being physically unfit for service. This is indeed a very small percentage and is someting in which the people of this county have reason to show pride. In last week's issue of The Vlain- dealer we published the names of the McHenry township young men who came in the second thousand names of this county. This week we publish the names that comprise the third and last thousand: Twenty-first hundred-- Arthur J. Schultz Herman Schaefer Leo A. Adams Wm. M. Heimer Robert J. Frisby Frank J.

Swank Joseph King Raymond, F. Conway De We Appreciate Our Team? Do the people of McHenry and vi­ cinity appreciate our baseball team? This is a question that has been asked by several since hearing a remark dropped by an out-of-town fan who witnessed lafstv Sunday's game here. The gentleman in question is a real baseball fan and has probably seen as many ball games, both league and prairie, as any man in McHenry and it was with astonishment that the Mc­ Henry mahager and others heard him remark that the contest was one of the very best that he had ever witnessed anywhere. And this is true, for when two teams go along for nine innings without getting a man across the plate the game surely is a well played one. Before leaving town the stranger left $5.00 with the McHenry manager with a request that same be placed in the club's treasury. Canning Club Meets The canning club met with Miss Gertrude Clemens at her beautiful country home southeast of this village Tuesday afternoon and the meeting was thoroly enjoyed by the members and those accompanying. After the business meeting a delightful cafe­ teria lunch, prepared by Miss Nellie Clemens, was served on the spacious porch. The next meeting will be held at the home of Misses Elynore and Sarah Dodge at Ringwood the second Saturday in September. Members should be prompt in their attendance. Is Appointed Police Officer Gilbert C. Howard, who acted as motorcycle cop here last summer, has been appointed as regular policeman to fill the vacancy caused by the res­ ignation of Geo. Rothermel. Mr. Howard entered upon his new duties last week and, no doubt, will dis­ charge all business cohnected with the office in a fair and fearless manner. He is also using his motorcycle and is thus placed in a position to run down automobiles and motorcycle drivers whenever the occasion de­ mands.
