Excavation for Harvard's new Masonic temple was started on Wednesday of last week. A class of three will graduate from the Hebron high school today. The commencement exercises will be held this (Thursday) evening. > Harvard is another near-by city . which is planning a gigantic homecoming for her boys who have been in the service of their country. Elmer Munger has placed a bid v with the city of Harvard in which he proposes to furnish a man and team to haul the garbage in that city at the rate of $4.50 per day. Another cow testing association . has been organized and is made up of farthers residing in the immediate vicinity of Crystal Lake. Homer M. Harper is responsible for the new organisation. . G. S. Randall and Chas. Hawthorne have formed a partnership at Hebron, where they are now engaged in the implement business, having recently bought out the business conducted by C. L. Wickham. The Lake county jail at Waukegan, which has been filled with fed* • eral prisoners during the p*st two years, has again gone' back to the peace time bases. During the war the jail was inhabited by as high as fifty prisoners. Petitions are being circulated among the business men and property owners of Antioch for t&e purpose of purchasing oil with which to sprinkle that village's streets. The amount of money required is esti- ' mated at $700. - / An ordinance has just been passed at Harvard which gives that city a board of local improvements. Another ordinance, also recently passed, licenses all billiard and pool rooms, bowling alleys and other indoor places of athusement. John W. Rose, who during the past seventeen years has carried the mail between the depot and postofflce at Dundee without missing a day, passed away, in that city last Thursday, a victim of pneumonia. He was in his sixty-eighth - year. Harvard is probably exhibiting one of the largest displays of war materials and relics to be found in the county. Included in the display are American gas masks, trench mortar shells, gas shells, Howitzer shells, American helmets, navy shells and others. George Renehan, who conducts a summer resort at Round Lake, will have one of the largest dance platforms to b>e found in this summer resort region. The platform will extend over the lake and beneath the . pavilion there will be over 100 bathers' lockers. The bank deposits in the two bonks at Crystal Lake are $100,000 more now than they were at the beginning of the war. The city during the past two years has invested $527,000 in bonds and has also contributed very generously to all of the various drives. There is plenty of money Frank J. Meier, a member of the firm of Meier Bros., Crystal Lake merchants, passed away at Sherman hospital at Elgin on Tuesday morning of last week. As a token of re spect the business houses of Crystal Lake were closed from one until three o'clock last Thursday when the funeral was held. Dr. Charles A. Pierce of Elgin, who during the past eight years has served the Borden Condensed Milk company as veterinary inspector in the districts supplying the company's factory at Elgin, Carpentersville, * Belvidere, Woodstock, Genoa Junction and McHenry, passed away at his late home last Wednesday. He was sixty-one years of age. According to the Barrington Review, that village is once more gain ing its prestige as a terminal station for Lake Zurich and Wauconda travelers. Many of the resorters are again coming to Barrington and from there beinjg driven to their destina tion via automobiles. According to the Barrington paper the service over the other railroad from Palatine is too uncertain. Crystal Lake has been successful in landing the Express Body corporation, manufacturers of express bodies for automobiles. Ground for the new factory building was»to have been broken this week and the con cern will employ twenty-five skilled workmen right from the very beginning, which they hope to double within a year. Besides this an fort Is being made in that city for the sale of $75,000 worth of stock in a barn equipment company and if • successful a second factory, to manu- . facture barn equipment, will also lo- , cate ill that city. Late reports from Ciystal Lake are to the effect that the goal in the latter proposition just about bjjffi reached. SOLD ICRS ARE RETURNING Lieut. Pouse Arrived Home on Toesday Evening ^ Looking 'the picture of health and happy as a lark, Lieut. A. H. Pouse returned to his home here on Tuesday evening of this week,, after seeing seventeen months of service in France. The lieutenant was in the air service when the allies were putting the finishing touches on the kaiser's dream for world supremacy and saw some real interesting times during the Meuse and Argortne battles. While we have not had an opportunity for an interview, Mr. Pouse has promised to give the readers of The Plaindealer a story of his experiences while in the service, which we hope to publish soon* Just now he is so busy shaking hands with his many friends and receiving their congratulations that he finds it next to impossible to have a few moments of his own. McHenry t,relatives and friends of the boys still in service may expect them all back heme soon. According to our information, our young men who have spent the winter in Siberia will be home within the next month or six weeks. e Stephen Adams, who left McHenry with our firgt contingent early in 1917 and who has seen active service at the front and fought thru the battles of the St. Mihiel, the Meuse and Argonne, is now at Camp Grant and is expected home today or tomorrow. Paul Schumacher, a Johnsburg boy, also a member of the 33rd division, and who, like Adams, has seen several months of actual service, at the front, is also at Camp Grant awaiting his final discharge. He, too, should be home before the end of tho Wefck. While no definite word has been received in McHenry, it is expected that Ed. Rossman, another McHenry boy, is also at Camp Grant, or will be on his way there soon. He, too. has been in the thick of the gigantic struggle. Louis Stoffel and Jimmie Doherty, two other McHenry boys, and members of the 129th infantry, 33rd division, are in New York and expect to be home no later than next week. Peter Neiss, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Neiss of this village, and who saw his first training at Camp Fremont, Calif., but who has been in France since early summer of 1918 has arrived safely in New York and is expected .home soon. Joe Wrede, who passed the winter in Siberia, has also arrived on the western coast and will be home shortly. John Zens, son ef Mrs. Anna Zens of this village, who left with a Waukegan contingent in 1918, has arrived New York. He has been with the army of occupation in Germany. Henry Freund, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Freund, who has been overseas for several months past, has arrived in New York and is ex-' pected hafte within the next week or ten days. Other McHenry boys may be loteked for any time from now on, as Uncle Sam is bringing them back to us just as fast .as the boats will carry them to our shores. Now thpt many are back and others will follow right along, it is up to McHenry to show our own braves just how much we appreciate what they have done for their country and all humanity. Let's get busy at once on our plans for a home-coming in McHenry. What say yott? ' MNE conns Ml ism SOUttERS BE AND SAILORS ENTERTAINED New Fountain Installed An elegant new soda fountain of the very latest design and much larger than the one formerly used was installed in the retail store of C. Unti in this village the latter part of last week. At the same .time an' electric carbonator was also installed. This machine works automatically and charged water is now at the waiter's command without the inconveniences of the old method. Fruit compartments, which keep the fruit cool and fresh, are also contained in the, new fountain, mpking it handy for the workers as well as S most sanitary addition to the place. Injured His Eye Robert Hunter, the fifteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Hunter, who reside on the F. A. Cooley farm, a short distance south of this village, met with » very painful accident last Saturday, when a woven wire struck him in the ball of the right eye. The young man was taken over to the Harvard hospital and under the care of Dr. Seeley, the noted county seat eye specialist, hopes are entertained that he will not lose the sight of that member. He was making repairs to a wire fence when the accident oc- CUIMd.

A * County's Biggest Event to Be Held at Woodstock on Tuesday, Jane 10 --Everybody Is Invited McHenry county'? biggest, greatest day is not far away, the exact date being set for Tuesday, June 10, The day referred to above is the home-coming planned for Woodstock to extend to all the soldiers, sailors and marines, who served in the late war, the grandest welcome which it is possible to arrange. Hundreds of Woodstock men and women are Working on committees, preparing this grand celebration for every one of McHenry comity's sons who Vore the uniform of Uncle Barn's army and navy. There will be something doing every minute from early morning till late at night. Not a single person in this county cftn afford to stay away from the county seat on the day of days. Woodstock has entertained crowds many times, but on this occasion she expects to be this hostess to multitudes. Decorators from Chicago are at work already, putting up the national Colors in different designs. Thousands of flags will float to the breezes, streamers across the streets every few yards--picture this for a daylight spectacle and then in the evening transform it into myriads of electric lights, colored red, white and blue, with dozens of spot lights playing on the many beautiful designs created by professional artists. A mammoth victory-memorial arch being erected across Main street near the park. It is built of lumber covered with kellastone, on the sides of which will be placed the names of all the men who made the supreme sacrifice and are represented by gold stqrs. There are about sixty names to be enrolled on the memorial tab lets. At night this arch will be one mass of lights--a sight long to be remembered by all who will be able to witness this beautiful work of art. Memorial services will be held dur ing the day, with splendid speakers. In one corner of the park will be a miniature Flanders field, with hundreds of red poppies and white crosses, one for each gold star in the county. All the soldier*, sailors and marines will parade the streets during the forenoon. Reviewing stands are to be erected for Civil war and Spanish- American veterans, Women's Relief Corps and widows and mothers of soldiers. Music will be furnished by Wetdon and his band. They will act as musicians for the dancing on the streets in the evening. The pavements will be covered with wax and everybody is invited to join in the dancing without charge. At noon dinner will be served irt the churches free to every man in uniform. In the evehlng supper will be served cafeteria style in the park. Headquarters tents are expected to be erected for different parts of the county, for the convenience of the boys to meet their friends and relatives. There are numerous other attract tions planned to make everybody happy who goes to Woodstock for tho one day. The boys deserve a great welcome and they are going to get it. Everyone join in the merry-making and make the day a grand success. It is especially urged that every soldier, sailor and marine wear his uniform. The uniform is his pass to receive every courtesy as a guest of honor on the day of welcome. Free cigarettes and soft drinks will be distributed to them. A New Road Some time ago Supervisor 8. 0. Freund. whose farm north of this village adjoins the Ben Stilling property, purchased a stretch of ground from the latter with a purpose of squaring off his land. A short time ago a new road was laid out and opened, which runs thru this piece of ground. The road extends from the main highway northeast and connects with the river road along Orchard Beach. Eventually the old road, which never was a very desirable one. will be closed, while the new thorofare will answer a much-felt want. Property owners along that shore as well as the public in general have our supervisor to thank for t^is noteworthy improvement, as we feel certain that same is generally appreciated. . Picnic at Volo "Peter's parish at Volo, which has given so many successful events of the kind during the past several years, announce their season's first picnic to be held on the church premises at Volo on Sunday, June 16. All of the old attractions as well as many new ones will be there and the var iote committees now at work on plans for the coming event promise this to be the biggest and best ever undertaken at Volo. More particulars will be given in later issues The Plaindealer. fttel^dies' Cptetery il^ society will meet with Mrs. J. B.

MFUVUS ARE PRESENTED AT S(DOL FRIDAY EVENIN MEMORIAL DAY Will Be Fittingly Obeerved in McHenry Friday That Memorial day will be fittingly observed in McHenry was definitely decided this week, when arrangements for the parade and ceremonies were started. According to the decision reached at a meeting held on Wednesday morning, the parade of school children, vets, discharged sailors and soldiers of the last war and citizens will form at the McHenry public school at 1:30 o'clock and from there a march will be made to the three cemeteries, where the graves of departed heroes will be decked. An effort is being made to have the McHenry band in the line of march, but whether the committee will be successful in this remains to be seen. However, it is the hope of the committee to have at least a drummer or two so as to beat, the time. All of the soldiers and sailors of the town of McHenry, now in service or discharged, are kindly asked to appear in uniform and thus lend their assistance in making this year's spectacle one of the grandest of the kind ever witnessed in McHenry. Quite a number of our boys are now home and it is hoped that all of these will be out in uniform. The program, no doubt, will be taken care of by. the school children, while one or two local speakers will be secured to give the addresses at the Woodland cemetery. All of our business men are kindly asked to close their various places of business during the hours that the parade and exercises are being held. Everyone who can possibly do so will please gather at the schoolhouse no later than 1:30 o'clock tomorrow (Friday) afternoon and join in the parade. Let's make it just as big and just as impressive as our peace parade of last fall. We can do this if everyone will only take the same interest as was shown at the time of the signing of the armistice. We are going to make Memorial day, 1919, a memorable one in McHenry and we know that we can depend on the good people of McHenry and the surrounding community to lend their assistance in this direction. Their Permanent Home Mr. and Mrs. Noah H. Pike of Chenoa, who arrived at Pistakee Bay a short time ago, came to make this their permanent home. For the time being they are occupying the cottage at the Bay that has provided than with so much comfort during the past quarter of a century or more, but this fall will see them in their beautiful new home, which has been under the course of construction for some months. Mr. Pike is one of Pistakee's first resorters, coming to this vicinity in the early eighties, and has been a regular resorter ever since. His first trip was made in company with other Chenoa people who came purely for a two Weeks' encampment. The initial trip was so enjoyable that they decided to re* turn the following summer and this was kept up for about eight years, when Mr. Pike decided to purchase land and erect Pistakee's first cottage, and this proved to be the opening of a resort second to none in the central west. Resorters as well as our citizens will be pleased to learn of Mr. and Mrs. Pike's decision to make Pistakee their permanent home. Universalist Church Sunday, June 1, Sunday school at 10:00 a. m.; morning service at 11:00 a. m. This service this Sunday will be the last service before the summer vacation.

Pollard Commencement exercises of the McHenry public school were held at the school auditorium last Friday evening. May 23. The stage presented a most attractive appearance. A large American flag, a gift from the eighth grade pupils, was festooned on the wall, a wonderful background for the graduates clad in cap and gown, whi'e at the footlights were flowers and ferns intermingling their class colors artistically arranged. As the class of '19, fourteen in number, marched to music furnished by Miss Ellen Spencer and took their places on the stage they were greeted with applause by the large audi ence assembled. The Girls' Glete club was first on the program, which delighted the audience with their song of greeting. The program followed with the salutatory by Miss Leona Cropley, who delivered a well composed welcome and farewell address in a clear and distinct tone, much to her own credit and also to her instructors. Miss Opal Cooley appeared next, sweetly singing a vocal solo in her own graceful manner, and received much applause as she gave way to Miss Sue Harrison, who, with the assistance of her "magic lamp," gave the class prophecy. This merited unusual applause and she displayed her natural wit and humor, showing a solicitious hope for the future of all her classmates. 'Class of '19" was the song sung by Ihe class for another delightful number, after which Thomas Frisby, a bright pupil 'of the class, recited a class poem, beautifully composed and delivered. Miss Mildred Welch then stepped forward and sang a vocal solo. This number, so sweetly given, .won great a p p l a u s e M i d e t t e i t h e audience, v The valedictory was assigned Miss Ellep Walsh and, like all heroines, she appeared modestly. Then came the speaker of the even ing, very cordially introduced by Supt. A. E. Nye, as a co-worker along educational lines in the McHenry county schools a few years ago, and whose surprise was mutual as they met earlier in the evening. Prof. L. J. Pollard of Galesburg then gave the commencement address, taking for his subject "The Secret of Genius. His address gave forth much advice from this wise professor, which it is hoped will he followed and put into practice. Prof. A. E. Nye then arose and gave expressions of joy and gratitude to the class and patrons of the school. This was the occasion of his ninth commencement here in McHenry, the classes numbering from three to sixteen graduates. After his first year as superintendent the school was put on the accredited list, their diplomas giving them admittance to higher institutions of learning, which he has always encouraged and with much success. That the school may maintain the present standard of instruction is the earnest wish of all. The class of '19 go forth with hearty congratulations for their future happiness and success and that a large proportion may remain here is our wish but, knowing that they will be attracted to other places, let ask that wherever they roam they may give the best that's in them to their old home town, whose forces feel the need of organization. A fond farewell to those sweet graduates, who know, without doubt, that the skies will always be fair and the Winds will always be soft." Owing to the crowded condition of our columns we necessarily omitted the valedictory and class prophecy as so kindly Sent into this office by the young ladi s who presented them at the annual commencement exercises last Friday evening. They will, however, appear in next week's issue of The Plaindealer. If Not Sooner A souvenir post card received from Sgt. R. T. Wray of this village, who has been in France for several months past, bears the information that he, at the time of mailing the card, was enjoying a ten days' pass thru the southern part of France. He jestingly adds that he expects to be home "tout de suite." M. E. Church The services at the M. E. church next Sunday will be as follows: Sunday school at 10:00 a. m. and preaching services at 11:00 a. m. Subject of sermon, "To Thine Own Self Be True." S. J. Harrison, Pastor. U. S. R. R. Administration Director General of Railroads Chicago & Northwestern R. R. Change in time effective Sunday, June 1, 1919, with earlier departure of certain trains.

The spacious dining rooms were far tooV small for the number present, as no, less than fiftysix couples attended. After partaking of the delicious supper prepared for the occasion, the members and friends enjoyed a most interesting program. The toastmaster of the evening, Richard B. Walsh, gave a very hearty greeting to the new class of 1919 and welcomed them to the association as only this popular young man can. The program given was as follows: Toast to class of '19 . . . . . . . . . . . Miss Agnes Dodge, '10 Response .Leo Heimer, '19 Duet "In the Time of Roses" Miss Mildred Welch, '19 Miss Opal Cooley, '19 "In Memoriam" [To Harry Stephenson] Walter K. Conway, '12 Toast to the Alumni . Mrs. Geo. H. Johnson, '02 Remarks Miss Blanche Pryor Song Star Spangled Banner After the close of the program the members and guests adjourned to Stoffel's hall, where a few hours were spent in dancing. On the whole it was one of the most enjoyable events of its kind ever held here and one never to be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to be present. "In Memoriam" Where the fairest rose of EnglWii Blooms tonight in wondrous grace, And the soft low breeze is sighing O'er a hero's resting place, Let us pause and read in sorrow, On a cross these words we fcMt "Here lies Private Harry Stephenson Unto him all honor be." For he died a noble martyr, Died as but a hero dies, And a small white cross is all " " That marks tile grave wherein he lies. t But his name shall live in hon|J4j:ri I-. As a hero's name should livejsV j | Harry died to save his country* He gave all he had to give. When our country called for volunteers He saw his duty clear, And he offered everything^!*# itad To the flag he loved so dear. " Did he stop awhile and ponder Will I stay or will I go? No! He went without a muroMa^ Went as only heroes go. V » Let us think awhile and wonder, Do we live as we should livet Were we ready when our country called With all we l^d to give? ' Would we give our lives if need be Te preserve our flag on high? Can we died as Harry periched ? He was not afraid to die. So tonight at this reunion, As we meet in gaiety, Let us not forget that lonely grave Across the deep blue sea. <.;*r Let us not forget this hero, .J On his honor there's no stain; . Let us say "God bless you Harry, You have died, but not in vain." - --Walter K. Conway, '12. " ^ Pre-nuptial Shower operators at the local exchange of the Chicago Telephone company, together with a few friends, tendered their former chief, Miss Trace Barbian, one of the most elaborate pre-nuptial showers witnessed in McHenry in years. The event took place at Stoffel's hall on Monday evening of this week, all except three of the invited guests being present. The early part of the eyening was passed at games, bunco, dancing and a mock wedding, the latter proving a most delightful feature of the occasion. At a late hour refreshments were served. The guests were seated at a long table, which was beautifully decorated with candle sticks, lilacs and violets. The guest of honor was then presented with a handsome table cloth and a dozen napkins.

BEAIITIFOL (TO IS EMK» JUtii. ELLEN WALSH EXPHtED LAST SATURDAY as the direct.'Kov 4 ; Mi' Has Been a Resident Here For Per iod of Eighty Years--Funeral Held Monday Morning Mrs. Ellen Walsh, another of thfr community's long-time and most ' highly respected residents, passed. away at the home of her son, Walte|^--i, J., south of town, last Saturday x morning after ah illness covering period of about two months. A gen* ') eral break down, due to her ad<*;i/*; vanced age, is given cause of her death. The deceased, the daughter of Mife and Mrs. George Frisby, was the last of her family. She was of the oid^ type of Irish ancestry, having been born in Ireland on Feb. 17, 1837,* making her 82 years, 3 month and ft days of age. At the age of tw»; years her parents decided to leaves the old and come to the new countrywhich they had heard so much about*" Thus the family left the native land and came to America, settling ju.lt? across the river from the old Walsh' homestead. Thus the deceased has lived in that immediate vicinity practically all her life. Eighty years in, j > one community is indeed a record that has seldom, if ever, l&eit if-- equalled anywhere. On November 29, 1853, she wail united in marriage to Peter WalsH^.! who preceded her across the darfcf: valley some years ago. The wedding ceremony took place at the Catholi*t church at Crystal Lake and was per-. .; formed by Rev. Eustace, who was that time the pastor there. Thru th%y *' Maker's wisdom this grand coupllS. enjoyed many years together, botlk^l | living to celebrate their golden wed*-:VX-aiding annive^fcry, the occasion of'. which will be well remembered bjr the relatives and friends who present. Cr,- ' • After her marriage she, with he!f| ; husband, settled on the did stead, where she has continued to rat* side ever since. Mrs. Walsh was'the • / mother of eleven children, nine at whom are are still living and left to ' f,V. cherish the beautiful memories of orm^ of the grandest women the communis ^ ty has ever known. The childreti are as follows: Karin and Edwin c&:v '» C h i c a g o ; F r a n k o f R o c k f o r t f j R i c h a r d ' J. of Poplar Grove, 111.; Mrs. P. Cos-, tello of Elgin; Mrs. Jack Walsh^ Mrs. C. W. Gibbs, John and WalfceH;,.y| J. of this place: All of the children* / as>well as the grandchildren, with,^ one exception, and four great-grandchildren were present at the fnnerai,.: f.% James Costello of Elgin, a member of the 33rd division, who has just aiK ;#^ rived in this country from oversew : service, was the grandson who was | ^ unable to be present at the funeral* The last wish of the deceased was that she might live to see the retvunt; v of her soldier grandson, but this wa*> not to be. The furieral took place from Sfc Patrick's Catholic church at 10rift' on Monday morning of this week' and a more fitting tribute could not have been, paid her than the large - gathering of relatives, neighbors ana long-time friends who were present. The pastor, Rev. M. J. McEvoy, als» ' delivered one of the most beautiful •/ f u n e r a l sermons ever heard in McHenry. He- ehlogized the decease^ ' on her charity, her cheerful disposition in spreading sunshine wherever she went and at the same time ever : reserving a seriousness of faith ill M her religion. Requiem high maw was celebrated. • The remains were tenderly borne . to her last resting place in the fam» ily lot in St. Patrick's cemetery beside her husband. The bereaved have the sympathy of the people of the entire community in this, their sorrowing hour. Rests urant to Move Mrs. Elizabeth Laures is having; the lower floor of the old blacksmith shop on Main street remodeled and when finished will be occupied by the Busy Bee restaurant, conducted in the building next door by her son, M. B. Laures. Carpenters are now busily engaged in making the change and Mr. Laures hopes to be located. his new quarters the first of nextr(y. week. The new quarters will be con- "£• y;; siderably larger than those now in use and with the installation of new soda fountain the place will be;-:^ complete in every detail.
