Mr. and Mrs. Crouch haw just moved here from Rockford and are now occupying the B refold flat on days ' Main street and expect to make this their home. Mr. Crouch has purchased the greenhouses and three acres of land, located on U. S. 12 just south of Mc- Henry, from Mrs. Michael McCarthy, whose husband had but started in this work at the time of his death. Although there is yet much to be done about the place the new owner has already started work and has many plants on hand now and this week he has been transplanting cabbage and aster plants and has already a good start in the two weeks that he has been here. As a florist, Mr. Crouch is no novice, having had fifteen years of experience in his chosen work and worked for five years for Poehlmann Brothers of Chicago, the largest grow, ers in the world at that time. He started in the work while he i lived in Mississippi, his home state, and after several years spent in the work in the south h'e came to Chicago for further experience. For the pa3t fiVe years he has been employed at Rockford. Mr. Crouch is rawing a general line of vegetable anj At Decoration da/. These plants are already in and some have been transplanted jyxl will include cabbage, torn a£<<l>epper and other vegetable r_ants as well as geraniums, asters, petunias, pansies and all kinds of flowers. This week he has on hand beautiful plants', for Easter, including lilies, tulips, primroses, hyacinths and other spring blossoms at reasonable prices. Carnations and snapdragons will be ready for sale next fall and throughout the year seasonable plants will be on sale at these convenient greenhouses.

SUPERVISOR ON NEXT TUESDAY S. H. FREUND AND PETER W. FRETT CANDIDATES April, the election month, is again at hand, bringing with it, as usual, the township, school and city elections with their momentous questions to be decided by the voters. The question of politics aij^l better government in township, city and schools is one of the principal topics of conversation and Interest these days, as they rightly should be, for at this time of the year the people of the community have the best opportunity to select men who stand for the ideas and principles which they desire to see carried out in municipal affairs. With two election dates falling in one week the month of April showers and spring housecleaning promises- to be full of varying events, not the least of which are Easter Sunday and April Fools' day. "Go to the polls and vote" is an appropriate slogan for the month and one which should be carried out first on Tuesday, April 7, the date of the annual town election, at which time a supervisor for the town of McHenry and constable will be elected. To all indications this will not be the usual quiet affair as has been the 'history of township elections for the past few years for this year Superlowering plants for i visor Stephen H.

City Election, April 21 The date for the election which takes place on the third Tuesday of the month will be April 21 and two tickets have been filed under the names of the Taxpayers and the Independent ticket. It is evident that one new faee, at least, will be seen at the council tablfc this year as Albert Barbian is run* iuag iritbevfc'eppoatioa as aMeraaa Representatives at Springfield by Richard J. Lyons to build another dam in Fox River, above the one already located below McHenry, is certainly arousing the ire of hundreds of residents here and along the river, as well as up in the lake region. This morning the following telegram was sent to Mr. Lyons: - "Hon. Richard Lyons, "House of Representative*, "Springfield, III. "Citizens of McHenry and property owners on Fox River 'are opposed 100 per cent to the cowtruclion of say dam above the present dam in Fox River and resent your statement# as published in the newspapers to the effect that only a few beat owners would object. "JOHN R. KNOX, "Mayor of McHenry" -The Chicago Herald-Examiner appeared this morning with a big head clear across the page, and this story followed, which shows that there is plenty of objection up in the lake region. "Organized opposition to a dsm in the Fox River above McHenry was started yesterday with circulation of petitions throughout the Chain-o- Lakes district urging representatives in the Legislature to vote against the Lyons measure. ' "A meeting of interested parties will be called within a few days to form a lobbying committee to visit Springfield, and to perfect other plans for improvement of the district. "John J. O'Connor, Grass Lake, known as the authority on lotus beds, is taking a leading role in the organization. Contending a dam means ruin of business in the resort territory, he said: " 'High waters ia the lakes which will follow any dam built above Mconto property of cottage "owners, and also prove a menace to the health of people living on lower stretches of the river.* Dozens of boatmen make a living by taking people to the lotus beds, unique in this part of the country. Ray Preganzer in one day last summer is said to have taken 1,500 in his boats. . "The lotus stems grow only to a certain height, Mr. O'Connor pointed cut, end if the water is above that the. buds are rotted and flowers do hot appear again for four to five years. "Many cottages along the lakes would be flooded out by erection of the dam, it was contended "Holding back water would not allow a sufficient flow in the dry months to keep the stream through Elgin and other towns in a healthy state, it was also pointed out. "Backwaters would be created above the dam, as additional breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other vermin, Mr, O'Connor asserted. Residents are, however, strongly in favor of dredging as urged by the Fox River-Lakes Improvement Association, it was found. "Everett Hunter, proprietor of a large boat line out of McHenry, said, when the dam question was raised a few years ago, 250 property owners above McHenry objected and are prepared to fight it again. He declared that there were twice as many below McHenry, along through Cary, Algonquin and Elgin. "The lower house at Springfield yesterday passed Representative William Carroll's bill for expenditure of $25,000 to improve the Fox River below the present dam.'» "Representative R. J. Lyons' bill to erect a dam above McHenry, west of Fox Lake village, will be up for hearing soon." EMPIRE'THEATER TO RE-OPEN SUNDAY The Etnpure theater will reopen for tiie season under new management an Easter Sunday, with Cloice Wagner as manager. Synonymous with the name "Empire" has been the name of its founder and owner, John W. Smith, whose recent death has made it necessary for the change in management to be made. The new manager is no stranger in McHenry, having lived here for many years- and worked with the owner of th« Empire for ten years as operator, faithfully producing the pictures during that time. From a boy he has been interested in- moving pictures and enjoys working in their interests. Mr. Wagner will show the latest and best pictures and plans to put on the most interesting programs for the people of McHenry and surrounding territory. For the present the theater will run only on Saturday and Sunday nights, but in May it will also open up on Wednesdays and more evenings if conditions warrant. Mr. Wagner plans to make improvements and changes during the season and will do his best to pleasehis patrons. There will be a matinee Sunday afternoon which will be the first mojrie for McHenry since last fall when the theatre closed for the season. With the co-operation of th» local people Mr. Wagner hopes to build up a modern and high-class avRSsement house.

Th#: Food Demonstrations Held Last Thursday The food demonstrations given by Mrs. Cora Kreasam, in conjunction with General Foods Corporation and sponsored by the Home Economics department at the high school on Thursday afternoon and evening were most interesting and instructive. In the afternoon the preparation of an Easter dinner was demonstrated and in the evening a "dinner in forty minutes" was prepared. Delicious salads were made, a meat loaf, cherry pie and other parts of a delicious dinner were prepared and baked and a sample given to each one present, with many new delicious recipes obtained. A beautiful appointed table had been previously arranged and an electric stova and refrigerator wtn used.

Knox; city clerk, Peter Neiss; city treasurer, Gerald Carey; Peter Doherty, first ward; Herman Kreutser, second ward; Jacob Schaefer and Albert Barbian, third ward. On the Independent ticket will be found the names of A. E. Nye for mayor; John Stoffel, alderman, second ward and F. G. Schreiner, alderman first ward.

The polling places will be located as follows: First ward, city hall; Second ward, Stoffel building; Third ward, Engeln building. Letters from both candidates for mayor have appeared in the columns of this paper and probably more interesting reading will appear as the election date draws near.
