" -,">v *' the new law, which gives S<9Cretary of State Louis L. Emmerson authority to appoint investigators with power to make arrests for violation of the automobile laws, a round-up of violators was begun in McHenry Wednesday. Investigator D. C. Merritt of McHenry county is in charge of the survey. While thes« investigators have power to arrest for violation of any of the automobile laws, they concern themselves particularly with violations of the law requiring licenses for automobiles and chauffeurs. Their purpose is always to co-operate with the local authorities in, every way. "The public is very generally observing the law requiring the obtaining of license plates," Mr. Merritt said, "but other sections of the automobile laws are not being so strictly complied with. This is true especially of the chauffeur's certificate requirements. In most counties where investigators have been sent to date, they have found great laxity in the observance of this section of the law. Under the law no boy under eighteen years of age is permitted to drive a car or truck for hire, and all persons who drive cars or trucks for hire must obtain a chauffeur's certificate from the secretary of state. This applies to drivers of delivery trucks as well •« to drivers of taxi cabs, service cars or private chauffeur. Hie owner of the truck or car, not operated for hire, of course is permitted to drive without a chauffeur's license, but anyone driving a car hot his own for compensation must .have a chauffeur's license. "Another violation of the automobile laws which is very common is the operation for hire by automobile dealers of cars equipped with the regular dealers' license plates. The dealers' license plates properly can be used only on cars for sale or used for demonstration purposes. A service car or cars let out for hire must be equipped with individual license plates. "The law alsd is very strict in requiring two license plates on every car, one in front and one in the rear. If a license plate is lost, application for a duplicate to the secretary of state must be made at once." Mr. Merritt explains that in communities visited by investigators since the new law went into effect on July mUtnrXNI OP£NS HER* S4?u*> !

Work of transforming the McHenry park into a big amusement enterprise, preparatory for the big harvest festival and home-coming to be held there on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept 3,. 4 and 5, was started today. The pastor and parishioners of St Patrick's Catliolic church, who are sponsoring the big undertaking, have set out to make the event the biggest of the kind ever undertaken in McHenry and if same does not prove a tremendous success it will not be because of lack of work or co-operation on the part of every citizen of the community. In fact, as we see it, there is but one thing that is going to spoil these hopes and that is unfavorable weather conditions. The various committees, which have been working out the details for the affair, have been busy for some time past and nothing is to be left undone that will add to the enjoyment of the hundreds of visitors who are sure to be there to participate. There will be stands of Vrery kind, a real country store, all sorts'of raelcs Hunter Baat Um Will Ibcknub Fleet Next 1, the number of applications for 1*^nd, while no regular meals will be chauffeurs licenses and for the issuing of duplicate plates where plates have been lost has increased nearly 100 per cent. It was estimated when the act was passed that these investigators would be able to increase the revenue from automobile licenses and chauffeur's licenses to the extent of at least $250,000. Results up-to-date it is declared indicate that this figure will be exceeded. The cost of sending out investigators is only a small percentage of this total. McHenry Signs Battecy The McHenry Baseball dub has signed a new battery for the balance of the season in the ^persons of Lehman and* Giertz of Elgin. Lehman is considered one of the best amateur pitchers in these parts, while Gierts comes here vary highly recommended as a catcher and only recently returned from Canada, where he has been playing league ball. They will form the battery next Sunday, when the team engages the Crystal Lake aggregation. On the following day, Labor day, the McHenry team will journey to Crystal Lake with oar old friend, Roy Sahlberg, as the box artist McHenry Young Men Cop Priaea It is with a feeling of sincere pride that we are able to announce two of our young men as, prise winners at the McHenry county fair.

As a special attraction for the little folks, there will be ponies to ride and where is there a kid who isn't going to avail himself or herself of the opportunity of a ride? Arrangements have also been completed for the appearance of the McHenry band. This assures us that there will be real music. There will also be score* of other attraction* which will help make things both entertaining and enjoyable to all. As stated in previous issues of The Plaindealer, letters have been mailed to hundreds of former residents, asking them to join us on these three days, and if the response to these invitations comes anywhere near expectation scores of people, who at one time or another have called this community their home, will be on hand. The event has been advertised most extensively. Assurances from many fbrmer residents that they will surely be here have already been received and as a consequence everything points to a big gala event, the like of which has never before been witnaased in McHenry. The undertaking has the approval of everyone of our citizens and the manner in which the business men have contributed towards same Indicates that they have considered it a privilege and pleasure to help boost the event Don't forget the dates.

It starts off like a regular story--all about a young man who tries to be honest, but under , existing circumstances turns to be an honest-togocdr. ess thief in order to get back an invention which is stolen from him. The book is written by Harry Segall, the lyrics and music are popular, with a cast of unusually high calibre, and a "Fifth avenue beauty chorus," who can really sing and dance. At the Empire Friday, Sept 9. * Three Carloads Marine Three carloads of marine engines, recently purchased by the Everett Hunter Manufacturing company of this place, were last week unloaded and hauled to the company's factory. Such a large shipment at one time is very unusual and' seems to indicate that Mr. Hunter is looking forward to an early leimu of prosperity at his plant ' '.V- V % \ Fe* if - any 6f our people, )>*aides the owner and pilots for the Hunter boat line, realize the extent that river passenger service has increased daring the past year. The fact remains that the boat passenger business of this particular line has grown so vapidly during the season now coming to a close that Mr. Hunter has already completed drawings for ten new boats, which are to be constructed in his factory this winter and added to the , passenger service next spring. In an interview with the local boat builder this week ye scribe was told that the excursion business on our river grew so rapidly and to such proportions this season that he has found himself unable to accommodate all. As high as three hundred passengers have been carried by the Hunter line in a singl^day and the times were not infrequent when all who wished to make the water trip could not be accommodated. On further questioning the head of the local boat concern we learned that he had been pushing the passenger business harder than ever before. Standing advertisements were carried in a score or more of papers and publications thniout this section. These advertisements, together with the testimonials of hundj*eds who have taken the trip either this or in previous years, no doubt brought the crowds. With the aim of bringing about still greater efficiency and service, Mr. j Hunter has decided that more Dassen-1 ger boats are necessary, thus the decision to have ten boats added to the fleet before, the opening of another season. Included in the new boats to be built will be the largest and most expensive ever constructed for river passenger service along our stretch of the Fox. This boat will have a carrying capacity of from 125 to 150 persons and no expense will be spared to make the craft a model of beauty, while the comforts of the passengers will also be given every consideration. The other boats will be smaller in size, but will be of the "Hunter Quality," which means perfection in construction and beattty. Requests for a boat of a carrying capacity of upwards of 100 people have been quite frequent during the past summer. These requests usually come from clubs or societies who wish to make the water trip in a body. With tlfc completion of the new boat these reqpeats can be complied with next summer. Mr. Hunter is also at this time trying to formulate some sort of a plan for the building of a permanent covered pier, which is another venience which may come before the opening of another season. However he has not as yet decided just what he wants in this line and is not ready to make an announcehvent of his plans at this time. He has in mind the building of a pier, or rather a waiting station, where passengers may be comfortably seated while waiting the arrival of passenger boats. While regular daily trips made by the Hunter line between McHenry and points along the river and lakes, it is the intention to make more frequent trips next season. In. fact, an hourly service between these points may be attempted. While the river and lakes and the natural beauty of the scenery all along their course have attracted thousands of people to this summer resort district annually, Mr. Hunter must be given credit for bringing hundreds or excursionists to McHenry who otherwise might have chosen another water journey had it not been for the McHenry man going after this business During the present season and for several seasons past the Hunter line has carried hundreds of Chicago's wealthier class of people, including the president of Sear-Roebuck & Co and his family, the Mairfeys and their families, Rothchilds and others who have a prominent standing in the commercial interests of the metropolis. Previous to coming to McHenry these, people have taken their water trips or. the larger lakes almost exclusively, but since their first visit to McHenry and Fox river a few years ago they have made their visits here an annual event. MaBENRY HAS OPPORTUNITY TO LAND INSTITUTION the Schools In TMa Locality Have Been Supplied Chicago Junior Home and Farm School Far Boys Wants From 80 to 160 Acraa of Fertile Land McHenry or this immediate community has an opportunity .of securing the Chicago Junior Home and Farm School for Boys. This piece of news came to us in a letter addressed to The Plaindealer and written by Isai T. Kahn, secretary. A week ago Mr. Kahn sent us an advertisement for 80 to 160 acres of fertile land containing lake or river or bordering on same. The advertisement also stipulated that the tract must also have some woods. The advertisement appeared in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, but little did we dream at the time that McHenry stood in line for an improvement that would be a great credit as well as a boost to the community in case the advertiser was successful in the purchase of such a strip of property here. Since learning the true facta of the case we have not only given the matter very serious consideration, but set right out to do our part towards the location of this institution here. Mr. Kahn's letter to us conveys the impression that this school is to be located somewhere in Illinois and from "the interest shown by the writer we are led to believe that the institution can be landed here if given the proper sort of encouragement We are sure that McHenry wants Most of the rural schools fn this locality will open the new school next Monday morning.* The teachers who will supply these schools together with other local teachers and the places where they will teach are herewith given: Griswold Lake, Miss Rosina Freund Dublin, Burton's BriSge, Hias Beulah Larkin of Elgin. Lily Lake, Miss Elsie Vycital Emerald Paris, Miss Eleanor Cohway. _ . Irish Prairie, Miss Genevieve Knox. B&rreville. Miss Julia Feffer, Brefeld school, Mathi&s Freund. Terra Cotta, Miss Marguerite Clemens, Howard V. Phalin. , Cherry Valley, Thos. Frisby. Ridgefield, Miss Margaret Miller. Ostend, Miss Helen Weinke of Woodstock, Sherman Hill, Miss Elola Bojie. Miss Mary Burim will enter her second term as teacher of the Vermont Street school near Woodstock while Miss Florence Knox, formerly teacher at Terra Cotta, will enter the Crystal Lake schools as an 'Tytrmr tress. '*• ITEMS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEAUBI^ REPORTERS DURING WEEK as described in last week's advertisement is obtainable. Local real estate men, no'doubt, have on their lists a farm particularly suited to the needs of the junior school and The Plaindealer urges McHenry, especially the influential and business men, to get busy at once. According to Mr. Kahn the Chidago Junior, within the course of the next few months, will expend large sums of money already pledged for new buildings as well as a regular disbursement of some $30,000 in salaries and supplies. The school is non-sectarian, is for good boys only and in no sense an institution for dependehts or incorrigibles and therefore would mean a big asset to the community uv which it is located. Let's get busy at once and land this institution for McHenry. Western Poultry Man Here Ed. L. Hayes, a former resident, but now located at Minneapolis, Minn., where he is connected with a large poultry concern, was in McHenry the first of the week. Ed. is now serving in the capacity of field secretary for the American Poultry association, having been appointed to that trustworthy position at the annual convention of that body held at Seattle, Wash., two weeks ago. While hi; new official capacity will take him to all parts of the country, he will continue to make his headquarters at Minneapolis, Minn. The office carries with it a very substantial salary and offers still greater possibilities than he has hitherto enjoyed. Ed.'s many friends here as well as thruout the entire county will be pleased to learn of his success in the poultry world. Laat Band Concert / The McHenry band appeared in its last open air concert of the season at Borden's park last evening, rendering most pleasing as well as appreciative program. The attendance last evening was not as large as usual, undoubtedly due to the fact that people did not care to come out two nights in succession, as most of the people of •--- -- .. •. :n aui attenaea tne circus the night previous. In view of the fact that this is their first season together, the McHenry band has made very satisfactory progress and if the boys stick it out thru the winter another summer season should see Mc- JJenry represented by a band second tio none in McHenry county. While last evening's concert was the last to be rendered at the park, the boys will play at the festival and home-coming to be held here over the week end as well as at the ice cream social and dance to be held for their benefit in the old creamery building near Spencer's mill on Wednesday evening, Sept. 14. Not a nickle was received by the band for the splendid series of concerts rendered here during the past several weeks and the people of the community surely owe the members a vote of thanks. It is hoped that a fund may be raised before the opening of another summer season so that the band may be paid at least a sufficient What People Are Doing In This lage and the Immediate Vicinity-- ---Other Short Paragraphs Fall opening in millinery, Sept. 10.
