The Chicago schools close for the summer vacation this week and from now until the end of the season the summer resort district will present a lively spectacle. The east side of one of the Bor­ den ice houses here is bulging out considerably of late and carpenters will be put on the job at once to re-, pair the damage done. A few of the members of the Mc- Henry Military band went to Waucon- da Monday evening of this week, where they assisted the Wauconda band, which gave an open air con­ cert on that night. The annual bowling tournament opens at the E. $1. Geier alleys in Centerville dn Saturday evening of this week and will continue for seven days. Four cash prizes will be giv­ en for high sqores. Pistakee Bay entertained the larg­ est crowd of the season last Sunday. Both the Oak Park and Stilling's hotels entertained big crowds, while the other places around the bay also report good business for that day. From all appearances there are more fishermen than fish these days. The river and near-by lakes are vis­ ited by a small army of anglers al­ most daily,, but many of these have been seen to return home empty handed. We are informed that a few of our idlers have already been notified that they must secure work on or before July 4. Thank goodness, McBenry has but very few who belong in this class and it is up to them to secure employment or be reported. The new order that all men ltt the draft age must find employment at useful occupations on July 1 has al­ ready effected a few here, who have resigned their positions and who are now employed elsewhere or making arrangements for a change. Prof. A. E. Nye has gone to Chi­ cago, where he has secured suitable employment. The professor evidently approves of President Wilson's work or fight order. While he does not come under this head, he is setting a very good example for those who never did agree with work. On account of the Fourth of July The Plaindealer will be issued one day earlier next week. Advertisers and correspondents should bear this fact in mind and get their matter to us one day earlier so that the Plaindealer staff may enjoy our nation's birthday in common with the people of this country. Mrs. W. F. Bassett very kindly en­ tertained the Ladies' Aid society on Wednesday afternoon of last week. The house was decorated with bou­ quets of roses and pansies, which wera much admired by the ladies. The meeting adjourned to meet in three weeks, July 10, at the home of Mrs. Raymond Colby. A gentleman selling M|iuptk>n" goods, which he claims he purchased from railroads, held forth at the Central opera house corner on Mon­ day evening of this week and after giving his audience a free entertain­ ment, consisting of fire-eating and magic, he succeeded in selling sev­ eral dollars' worth of his wares. A demonstration for processing fruits and vegetables will be given at the school auditorium Friday, June 28. All canning club members as well as any others who may be interested will please be present. Members bring note books and pencils. Miss Seger of the state university at Ur- bana will be present. Residents of German Village, a division lying north of McHenry, on Fox river, have decided the name most unfitting for the beautiful village and have petitioned that in the future the same be known as Riverdale. The residents are to be congratulated upon the change, which to all signers as well as members of the community it seems more appropriate. We understand that some of the local lovers of the sport are becoming quite proficient in the art of tennis. The court on the W. E. V4gt premises is being used and match games are being pulled off every Sunday after­ noon. If interest keeps on growing in the future as it has in the past few weeks, McHenry is sure to develop some 8tars in this healthful recrea­ tion. , The streets of the village are being repaired with crushed stone and it is hoped that the work will not stop un­ til the main thorofares, at least, com­ pare favorably with those of other near-by towns. The roads in Mc­ Henry have been in very poor condi­ tion during the past year or more and we are sure that the work now started is appreciated by everyone who uses same for travel. The water has again been let out of the mill pond. It was the intention of the Borden company, whicty owns that body of water, to keep the water at its normal height during the sum­ mer, bet the weeds have become so thick that it has been found necessary to let out the water in order to allow the undergrowth to dry so that sun# may be burned later on, thus assur­ ing the company pure ice for next winter* > * • v - ; c * yb. } f A F O X F E A T U R E V Dtistin Faraum < IN ' Dhrand of the Bad Lanifc Saturday, junew Geo.

Timothy, $1.00 per bag. L. V.

The calf broke a rope by which it was being led by Leonard and before the young man realized it the animal had .made its way toward the mill pond. The calf plunged into the pond and swam the stream with­ out difficulty. With Leonard and Mr. Pries in hot pursuit the calf led the way thru acres of gardens, back yards, around fences until it finally entangled itself in a fence and could get no further. Any more experiences like "that will send both of the cap­ tors to the mad-house or some other place. It was real sport for the on­ lookers, but a most strenuous job for Bill and Leonard. Turns Over $1741.20 Fioyd E. Covalt, chairman of the local Red Cross and campaign man­ ager of the second war fund drive, reports $i?ii.20 as being a«nt to the national headquarters thrji the Mc­ Henry county chapter. This was seventy-five per cent of the total pledges, all of which County Treas­ urer Geo. L. Murphy has acknowl­ edged receipt of with thanks. A bal­ ance of $580.40 will enrich the treas­ ury of the local branch, -which is also gratefully acknowledged by members of the executive committee. Passed Away at Kenoeha Nicholas Bowers, an old and highly respected citizen of Ingleside, died at Kenosha Saturday, June 22. He had passed his sixtieth birthday and was at the time of his death making his home with his sister, Mrs. John Blake, at Kenosha. The body was brought here on Monday evening and the funeral was held at St. Patrick's church Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, the Rev. Edw. Berthold officiating. Burial was in St. Mary's cemetery. Many Quit Woodstock During the past few weeks qaitf a number of our people employed at the two factories at Woodstock have quit their jobs in that city and most of them have entered factories at Ken­ osha, Wis., where the wages paid are considerably above those received at the county seat. Most of the McHen- ryites at Kpyiha are employed at the Nash factonTand are working on the night shift. Commercial Asm.
