The newly acquired ground was laid out by Henry C. Klehm, landscape .architect of Chicago. Fred A.

FIRST ADVERTISEMENT FRIDAY First of Seriee of Advertisements Appeared In Tribune Friday "Hie $1,000 advertising campaign in the Chicago Tribune, designed to bring more people to McHenry and the Fox river, was started last Friday morning, when the first of a series of three-column display advertisements appeared in the summer resort section of the above mentioned metropolitan paper. To the outside world, especially to the neighboring municipalities, the advertisement, to use the slang phrase, "knocked 'em dead." It is the first time in the history of our village that such a big scheme has been undertaken and, while to some it may seem like a large expenditure of money, the members of the Community club, to whom .belongs the credit of putting over the proposition, are already convinced, after the appearance of the initial ad, that the project will bring big returns. As the result of last Friday morning's advertisement the Community club has been fairly flooded with letters asking further information regarding our community as a place in which to establish a summer home or come for a vacation. Secretary Peter M. Justen, of the club, is answering these letters almost as rapidly as they are received and in this manner some excellent returns are expected. Owing to the fact that many of these letters of inquiry are for the rental of furnished summer homes for vacation periods of from one to two weeks as well as for the entire season, the Community club officials will be very pleased indeed to have all owners of summer property who make a practice of renting their premises, to list their cottages with the secretary of the club, thus providing him with all the information available along this line. Hotel owners and propria tors are also asked to supply the secretary with their rates by the day or week, while it would not be out of place for private home owners of the village who may have rooms to rent during the summer months to notify the secretary of the number of people they are able to accommodate. All of these things mean the bringing of considerable money into our community and if everyone will cooperate with the Community club we are sure that the present Chicago advertising campaign will prove an exceptionally beneficial investment. Tafk McHenry and the Fox river to every stranger with whom you come in. contact. Tell him or her that we have the finest summer resort proposition to be found in the country; that our business men are courteous and obliging and that they will be made to feel at home the moment they enter McHenry's Garden of Eden. Hundreds of Chicagoans have already discovered the beauties of our summer resort district and thousands of others can be induced to come here with but a little effort on the part of each and every one of us. KEEP RIGHT ON BOOSTING McHENRY AND THE FOX RIVER. 1^1 Want Cement Walk I" ^ A few of the resorters along South Edgewater, which extends from the river bridge, on the east side of Fox river, south to A. H. Watson's resort, have taken the initiative in talking up and boosting for the contraction of a walk all along that stretch. A neat cement walk has already been built from J. W. Smith's to the end of the Otto Sohm property and a number of property owners south of there feel that it would be a noteworthy improvement to have the walk contiuued all the way down the river to the Watson place. No doubt some of the more interested property owners will get busy in an endeavor to get every cottage and land owner to consent to the improvement by agreement to share his proportionate part of the expense entailed, which, at the most, will not be burdensome. Hops thf plan goes thru. The Social Wheel fla members of the Social Wheel of this village met with Mrs. H. C. Allen at Woodstock last Thursday. In spite of the stormy weather, there was a good crowd in attendance. A solo by Mrs. Miller, one of the guests of honor of the day, was well received as was a vocal selection by the hostess' little granddaughter. The afternoon's diversion was guessing games, followed by a chop suey luncheon. The next meeting will take the home of Mrs. A. J. afternLoWon*, place at Schneider June 8. on Thursday Fint Methadiat Chart* The regular Sunday morning service will be hold at the church at 11:00 o'clock. The sermon subject will be "The Message of a Life." The spoken word is not the sole means of expression; there is something that speaks to others at times when no word is uttered. There <wras something more than the spoken word, something more than the miracles performed in Jems' service to man; what was this? The community Sunday school will transfer its location this S=nd£? to the Universalis* church, meeting there at 9:45 o'clock. SOLNEIt BEAD FORGOTTEN DECORATION DAY SERVICES AT TENDED BY SMALL CROWD Day Seems to Be Given Over For Pleasure and Amusement--Legion Fails to Obtain Orator Editorial by Arthur Brisbane in Wednesday's Chicago Herald and Examiner: "Decoration day has gone. The number of graves is greater; the •tory about the same. Some went motoring, others fishing or golfing; some stayed home, ninety' per cent played, the others worked.' or decorated graves. How dead they are, that are gone, except in the hearts of a few that remember --how decayed and completely dead! They might as well have, died 1,000 years ago. No lesson is learned. More wars are hatching, the preparation that prevents war is ignored. We drift : along and celebrate the decorating of graves with a holiday." What plainer truth could possibly have been penned? The editorial, written to cover prevailing conditions thruout the entire land portrays McHenry's Decoration day activities to precision. Yes, it is only too true that not more than ten per cent of- our population turned out to pay homage to our soldier dead and to add to this unpleasing spectacle the program of the day was incomplete owing to the absence of an orator. The few who did interest themselves sufficiently to have some sort of a demonstration in keeping with the deep significance of the day are worthy of all the credit that usually accompanies such acts. It is to be regretted that they were not given the full co-operation of our populace. The McHenry post of the American Legion, which took charge of the afternoon's festivities, was represented in the parade by fourteen mem bers. These few heroes of the late war, together with one Spanish war veteran, the McHenry military band, a few school children and a very small portion of our older folks constituted the delegation which made the journey to the various cemeteries, where the usual ceremonies attendant to the day were performed. The graves of all Civil war veterans as HreH as those of the late war were all appropriately decorated.- The short program preceding the march to the cemeteries took place at the Empire theatre and consisted of band music, two vocal numbers by the grade children and the Community high school p-lee club and a short address by Commander John L. May of the McHenry Legion post. Outside of the band, the ex-service men and school children the services were attended by not more than seventy-five people. MARRIED HERE THURSDAY All Work and No Play "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." At last some of our business men are beginning to realize this fact and as a consequence at least two of them are this week announcing a new closing schedule for their respective business places. The announcements will be found elsewhere in this issue. The clerks, store and *hop workers in McHenry are m different than in other cities and towns where the early closing has "been in vogue, in &ome instances for a number of years. There isn't a business fn existence today, not even exempting- the farmers, where help is expected to put in the long hours as ro- - quired from the clerks. These people are only human and therefore are entitled to a few hours a day for rest and recreation. Why should a man or woman be askedi to stand back of a counter for twelve or fourteen, yes sometimes sixteen hours per day? It's too long. Not even an animal can do this and keep it up. Why then should such an unreasonable demand be made upon humans 'in this day and age? In many cities and towns the early closing has long since been in vogue. The stores are doing just as much business as ever before, while at the same time the help is being treated as human beings. What has been and is now being done in neighboring cities and towns can be done in McHenry if the business men will only make up their minds to do it. The Plaindealer hopes that the early closing, including Sunday closing, will become general in McHenry. DEATH COMES SUDDENLY To Highly Respected Rural atty Resident McHeary -L Young People St. Patricks United at eight-thirty o'clock on Hiursday morning of this week Miss Cecelia K. Conway became the bride of Edwin V. Knox, the ceremony having been performed by Rev. M. J. McEvoy at St Patrick's Catholic church. The couple had as their attendants Mrs. Howard Cairns, sister of the bride, who acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. Howard Cairns, who carried the role of best man. The bride presented a pretty picture in a gown of tan georgette and hat to match. She carried a bouquet of Kilarney roses, and ferns. The bridesmaid was attired in a dress of pale pink crepe de chine and wore a hat of white taffeta. She carried a bouquet of sweet peas. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party together with close relatives of the pair gathered at the home of the bride's parents on Waukegan street, where a wedding breakfast was enjoyed. The bride is tfte eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin E. Conway of this village. She has always made her home in and within the immediate vicinity of McHenry, where, thru her pleasing persojialily and lady-like manner, she has endeared herself to a host of warm friends. During the past year she was engaged as bookkeeper in the plumbing office of H. E. Buch, which position she filled most creditably. t The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Knox, who reside a short distance south of this village. He has always made his liome with his parents, where, since leaving school, he has proven himself a valuable assistant to his father. After a short honeymoon trip the couple will return to'make their home on the farm of the groom's parents, which he will work in the futurg, the parent^ having decided to give up 1 ifarm work and move to McHenry to make their home. The Plaindealer joins with the young couple's many friends in extending congratulations. Early, late and red cabbage plants, celery, parsley, okra, cauliflower, tomato and aifter plants far sale at the McHeniy House. M-2t John Retihan, one of the community's most highly respected residents, passed away quite suddenly at his late home south of the village on Monday evening of this week. The deceased suffered a slight stroke of paralysis while delivering milk at the local bottling works one morning about a month ago. Apparently he suffered very little ill effects as the result of this stroke, as he was able to continue his labors on the farm shortly after the incident. Last Sunday evening while engaged in milking the cows he was kicked in the abdomen by one of the animals. The hired man, who came to his assistance, assisted him to the house and summoned the family physician. Examination by the doctor revealed the fact that the old gentleman had been severely injured and that his condition was serious. He passed away twenty-four hours after the accident While the accident was uiv witnessed, it is the opinion of some that the deceased may have suffered a second stroke and was kicked after foiling against the cow he was milking. The deceased has been a resident of the community for many years, his acquaintance extending thruout the entire eastern section of McHenry county. The funeral took place from St Patrick's Catholic church here this (Thursday) morning at ten o'clock. Obituary next week. Ask For Applkatic-- A11 of the community high school teachers, we are told, have been asked by the school board to hand in their applications. Whether or not all of the present corps will be retained for another year depends entirely upon those who are now teaching. According to rumor one or two of this year's teachers do not care to remain. Their salaries, it is said will remain the same as they have been during the term just closing. With one possible exception all of the teachers in the grade school have been retained for another year. First Universalis* Church The sermon subject next Sunday morning will be "A Look Ahead." At the close of the sermon an opportunity will be given for any who so desire to be received into the church. The community Sunday school will meet next Sunday and the remaining Sundays of June in the Universalist church. John M. Grimes, Minister. K. of C. Memorial Mass The memorial mass for departed Knights of Columbus at St. Patrick's church at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning of this week was very well attended. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of the church, preached a beautiful sermon in keeping with the spirit of the occasion^ Eighth C»rade Promotional Exercises The annual promotion of the eighth grade pupils to the high school will take place in the high school auditorium tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. In addition to the regular class program the operetta, "Twilight Alley," will be given. The public is cordially invited. Starting food for young chfcks as well as chicken feed at M. i|t. Niesen's. BOHD ORDINANCE PASSED BY COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOARD ? TUESDAY NIGHT ; J ' Up to Bonding Houses 1$* Approval--Building Operations Will Be Delayed Even with the speediest of action on the part of attorneys and the courts it now looks as if the completion of the proposed community high school building for this year is utterly out of the question. New school laws, enacted since tike establishment of the McHenry community high school district, making it necessary to test, the validity of said district in our courts, together with other unforeseen preliminaries, have delayed the progress on the school proposition to such an extent that it looks doubtful if a contract for the construction of the proposed building may be let much sooner than the middle of the summer. While this turn in events will, no doubt, prove more or less disappointing to the students as well as patrons of the school, it is the very best that may be expected under prevailing conditions. According to information at hand it now looks as if the proposed site for the building can be obtained only by means of condemnation proceedings, which means more or less court action. A rough estimate on the site was obtained from the various owners last year, but since then, it appears, some of the tract has changed ownership and a subsequent raise in price. At a meeting at the community high school board held on Tuesday evening of this week among other matters disposed of was the naming of John M. Phalin and Joseph W. Freund as two members of the board who were empowered to select a committee to set a price on the site. This com mittee, it was understood, is to be composed of men who understand and are in every way qualified to deter mine what they consider a fair valuation of the property involved. Immediately after the valuation has been determined the school board will make an offer to the various owners of the tract and it will be up to them to accept or reject. In case the owners consider the price too low and all other endeavors have foiled, the board will start condemnation proceedings, which will leave it entirely at the disposal of the court to determine the valuation. From all indications -it looks vary much at Ala time as If the entire matter will be disposed of by means of condemnation proceedings. Even after the court has decided on a valua tion, we are told, a change of site may be decided via a reconsideration vote of the district The board, as well as many of the boosters, hope that this last named procedure will not be found necessary and that an amiable settlement of the site matter may be brought about with the least possible delay. At the meeting on Tuesday evening the bond ordinance, authorizing the floating of a bond in the amount of $125,000, was also brought up for a vote and passed. The ordinance will be submitted to the various bonding houses at once. The bonding houses n turn will go over the ordinance, make any and all changes which they deem necessary and then return same to the school attorney for correction. Not until a final approval of said bonds is secured from these concerns can or will the bonds be placed up for bids. While it is more or less a matter of conjecture, it is the opinion of men who are posted on the matter that our bonds should bring something in the way of a premium. The; present condition of the markets is. used as a criterion in forming such an opinion. All owners of the Herbes track, which has been chosen as the site for the new community high school building, have been notified as to recent actions of the school body and a reply together with the price deqianded by each should be in the hapds o£ th* secretary very shortly. Stacy Clark Out Weet < H. F. Eldredge of Chicago, who passed Decoration day in the village, informed the writer that "Stacy" Clark, who many years ago was a familiar figure upon our streets, is now employed in a mine near Caspers, Wyo. Most of the older citizens, no doubt, were of the opinion that the former McHenryite had passed away years ago. Mr. Eldredge, who for fifteen years or more has been a traveling representative for the John V. Farwell company of Chicago, only recently returned from a trip to the West and while at Caspers he learned the above news, which was imparted to him by Patrick Garr, also a former resident of McHenry township.

OPENING OF FOX PAVILION Over Two Hundred Ceaplss la Grand March Saturday 11M Fox pavilion, McHenry's newest amusement enterprise, located in Conway's grove, a short distance northeast of the Fox river bridge, was formally opened to the public last Saturday evening. Altho there was still some work to be done on the big dance pavilion, the place, with its spacious, smooth-asglass flow, together with its well arranged varicolored lighting system, presented a most pleasing aspect The opening of the daace pavilion was marked with a grand march, led by Messrs. Edward Knox and Clarence Niesen, the two young men who will have the management of the place. Over two hundred couples participated in this splendid spectacle. Souvenirs in the way of carnations were handed out during the march. Lieut Jimmie'8 orchestra of Chicago, which furnished the music at the pavilion on the opening as well as on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights, proved a very fine organization, delighting the dancers with their sweet music. The dances on Sunday and Monday and especially on Tuesday evening brought out fine crowds and if the auspicious opening may be taken as a criterion the success o£ the place is already assured. f This week dances will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. On Friday evening McAndrews' orchestra of Woodstock will furnish the music, while Lieut Jimmie's orchestra will again be on hand on Saturday and Sunday nights. Next week dances will be conducted on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. On Wednesday even ing McAndrews' orchestra will play, while Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights will see th« Chicago orchestra on the job. The management of the new pa vilion is to be congratulated upon the orderly manner in which the place is being conducted and, according to these young men, they mean to conduct the place in a manner that will not only reflect credit upon themselves, but the community as well. They invite the public to call and inspect the place on any dance night and see for themselves the well regu la ted amusement enterprise that they have provided. SCORES VIEW SCHOOL ITEMS OF LOCAL im end EXHIBIT And Listen to Excellent Program Last / Friday Evening The annual school exhibit and program attracted scores of patrons and friends to the McHenry public school last Friday evening, who were more than pleased with what they saw and heard. The program was staged la the auditorium and, altho the big crowd in attendance crowded every inch of space, the gathering proved a good natured one and heartily applauded the efforts of the little folks who appeared on the evening's program. Prof. 0. G. Tread way, in a brief talk to the audience, apologized for the crowded condition of the room. The exhibit this year in some respects surpassed all previous efforts. TTiis is especially true of the sewing class, who had on display some of the work accomplished during tile season. The dresses on exhibit brought forth many very favorable comments. It was pleasing to note the interest shown in the work by the patrons and friends of the school. With sash a spirit prevailing our school cannot helj> but progress.
