Neyer. Mr. Neyer is a former resident of McHenry, making his home here about twenty years ago. Mr. Bohr evidently enjoyed a busy and interesting visit in Chicago and among other things made a radio broadcast. On Friday noon he went down to the Chicago theater to feee Bob El son on his "Man on the Street" broadcast, to wliieh Mr. Bohr is usually an interested listener and out of the crowd of 160 to 200 spectators Bob Elson chose him for an interview. The experience was an interesting one and will, no doubt, be- remembered by Mr. Bohr for some time. Listeners in McHenry heard their fellow citizen in the radio broadcast. .a*. m 1 i'di Subscribe for The Plaindealer N % \r .... ., Epworth League will sponsor a com-; continue at a high level until March mJgident* Grove P Chittenden secre- - . ...... .... - Membei-s of the Neighborhood Club munity night at the M.
