Woodstock for a hearing. It is said that they passed a cheek for $20.75 at a Cary store and were attempting to pass smother at Barrington when they were arrested. Twenty-five Harvard boys are in for arrest following the breaking of numerous windows and the taking of personal property from the vacant Atlas Belting company's factory building in that city. . The work of enlarging and remodeling the Cary State bank building at Cary is rapidly nearing completion. The building will easily be the most beautiful business house In that village. Miss Bess Sullivan, a former Marengo young lady, and who until recently was assistant state's attorney of Cook county, was united in' marriage to William L. Heptig, a Chicago board of trade operator, on Nov. 29. George E. Sullivan, a member -of the Woodstock Daily Sentinel staff, is now probation officer of McHenry county, having been appointed to that position by Judge Charles *P. Barnes last week. He succeeds T. H. Brown, who has held the office for four years. The newly elected officers of the county took up their duties at the court house at Woodstock on Monday morning of this week. The various offices occupied by the new officials were bedecked with flowers, while congratulations were the order of the day. Richard Swain, a Chicago aviator, who narrowly escaped being cut to death while making a landing near Fox Lake about three months ago, has just been released from the Victory Memorial hospital at Waukegan, wher^ he was taken following the accident. • . • The community, high school bonds of Crystal Lake have been sold to a Chicago bonding house at a premium of something over $5,000. The bond issue as voted by the district amounted to $195,000. The site, the Wallace property, was purchased for $10,548* A number of Waukegan residents who are more or less influential are agitating the annexation of the north district in that city. The district, unless annexed to Waukegan, will soon develop into a new city, as the great Johns-Manville plant is being established there. President T. J. Schmifct, of the Elgin Motor club championed the proposed extension of- the Fox River Trail into McHenry county at Monday's session of the McHenry county board of supervisors at Woodstock. He argued the advantages of extending the cement highway to Crystal Lake. James W. McMillen of Grayslake, a student at the Illinois State university, has been picked to lead next years Illinois foot ball team, while every foot ball expert in the country has given him a place on the All-Western foot ball team. Quite an honor to the young man as well •» . the* town which he calls home. Charged with the breaking and ' overturning of practically all the tombstones in the Mill Creek cemetery near Wads worth, in Lake county, Charles Thomson, who lives adjacent to the cemetery, has been placed under arrest and is now being held in the Lake county jail at Waukegan under bonds of $1,000. He danies the charges. With th£ exception of about a half mile stretch in Batavia, motorists are now able to travel the entire distance from Aurora to the McHenry county lino on cement pavement. The last of the stretch between Carpentersville and Algonquin was thrown open to travel last week. This is what is known as the Fox River Trail and motorists in Kane county are very anxious to see the cement ribbon carried on thru McHenry csunty to the Wisconsin state line. * Two seven teen-year-old boys, claiming Saginaw, Mich., as their home were bound over to the grand jury at Woodstock last Saturday upon the charge of passing worthless checks In lieu of $2,500 bonds they placed in the county pail. Umy gave their names as Clarence Zimmerman alias Ernest Johnson, and Jacob Greif alias Joseph Macey. The boys were arrested at Barrington by Marshal James Parsley of Cary and taken to iNtfey their marriage a swret for nearly a month, friends of Mr. and Mn. Clftytolt Hughes of this village weren't let in on it until last Friday, when announcements told of their wedding which occurred at the M. E. church parsonage at Wheaton on Saturday, Nov. 4. The bride cf this happy union is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Smith of Ringwood. 8he has always made her home in and near that village. She attended the Ringwood school and later on entered the McHenry high school, from which she graduated with the class of 1913. After her graduation she took up a business course at the Ellis business college at Elgin and during the past three years or more she has been a valued employe at the Fox River Valley State bank in this village, where thru hei ever pleasing manners and courteous treatment she has won the high esteem of the patrons. She is also admired by a large circle of friends thruout the entire township. The groom formerly resided at Georgetown, Ky., but during the past several years has made his home in this state, coming to McHenry from Libertyville two years ago. He holds a very responsible position with the American Telephone & Telegraph company, by which corporation he has been employed for a number of years past. He also served his country during the late war. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes have gone to housekeeping in a bungalow on Center street, recently purchased from M. B. Laures, where they are now receiving their friends as well as being showered with congratulations. NEW STATE CONSTITUTION TO Voted en at Special Election Next Tuesday A special election for the purpose of voting for or against the new constitution for the state of Illinois is to be held next Tuesday, Dec. 12. As near as The Plaindealer is able to ascertain, the new constitution has considerable support and also a great defcl of opposition. Like many other documents, it has its good and bad features. A comparatively small number of voters, as we see it, are familiar with the new constitution in its entirety. Lawyers, as a rule, have studied the document quite thoroly and in this county, we feel safe in stating, the majority of the men in this profession do not approve, of its adoption. Farmers, too, we are told, are opposed to it They feel that it will mean a still greater Increase in their taxes. Just how the voters of McHenry township feel in the matter will not be known until next Tuesday night. Some of the dopsters have it that the vote here will be very light. Entertained at Family Reunion Mr. and Mrs. John Schuenemann very delightfully entertained at a family reunion at their pleasant home on Riverside Drive on Thanksgiving day. •Hie guests of the occasion arrived in McHenry from Chicago via automobile in the morning and in plenty of time for the sumptuous Thi-nksgiving feast as served by the hostess. After dinner a few hours were passed at cards, after which all sojourned to St. Mary's fair at the American Legion hall for supper. The guests departed for Chicago about seven o'clock that evening. Those who came out to help make the occasion one long to be remembered were: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schuenmann, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schuenemnn and son. Junior; Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schuenemann and daughter, Audrey; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Durland and Mf.» and Mrs. Chas. J. Heimer. Mrs. Josephine Heimer, who makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. Schuenemann here, is also.counted as a guest on this oocasion. Orval Granger Wine the $5.00 Master Orval Granger, a pupil of the fifth grade in the McHenry public school, was the winner of the $5.00 gold piece offered by the West McHenry State baqji in the contest recently conducted. The contest was I to all pupils and the prize awarded to the one guessing the number of coins deposited in the automatic receiving teller during the school term of 1921-1922. The winning number was 5700, the correct amount being 5752. Slips placed in the ballot box ranged all the w*y from 1116 timid first grader's guess of 100 to the lad in sixth grade who put down fifty million. The banking machine has been 'a splendid success in the school and has done much toward the promotion of thrift. Will Soon Be Ready Carpenters constructing the oil service station just west of the railroad tracks on Waukegan street are roahing the work with all possible haste and, according to present indications, the building, which is to be occupied by William Schaefer, will be ready for occupancy before the first of the year. Mr. Schaefer will also have charge of the oil filling station. QUEST lESPEWT 1S JBU) MRS. ELIZA PARKER DIED SERB LAST FRIDAY MORNING Had Rsslisi In This Village and Vicinity For 82 Years--A Resident of McHenry For 60 Years Mrs. Eliza L. Parker passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. N. Culver, on Waukegan street on Friday morning of last week, following *a general breakdown brought on by her advanced age, she being in her ninety-fifth year at the time of her death. The deceased bears {the unique distinction of having resided in this village for sixty years and in the village and within eight miles of McHenry for a period of eighty-two years. We doubt if such a record has ever before been established in McHenry county. Eliza L. Sherman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Sherman, the last of a family of eleven children, was boqp at Rutland, Vermont, on March 10, 1828. At the age of eight years, in company with her grandmother, she moved to Hamburg, Erie county, N. Y., and when twelve years of age came to Illinois and settled near Yolo, Lake county, where she resided with her un^le, Wm. Gould, her mother having passecl away prior to this time. She was united in marriage to Winslow Parker on October 8, 1847. The first few years of her married life were passed on a farm in Lake coun ty. The family moved to McHenry in 1863 and the following year entered tiie hotel business in this village, havingjfpurchased the old Gage House on the' West Side. After acquiring the property the name of the hostelry was rechristened Hotel Parker. Mrs. Parker assisted her husband in the hotel up to the time of Mr.'Parker's death, after which the business was turned over to the management of their son, Frank A. Parker, who conducted the place up until the visitation of the big fire which destroyed the entire block. Mrs. Parker was the mother of six children, only two of whom are left to survive, as follows: Frank A. Parker of DesMoines, la., and Mrs. Theresa R. Culver of this village. The children who preceded their mother in death were: Mrs. Sarah E. Dermont, Rowena V., William and Nettie. There are also left to survive three grandchildren, C. Otis and. Carlos W. Parker of DesMoines, la., and MTS. F. V. Cobb of Chicago. She also leaves five great-grandchildren. The deceased will also be remembered by the family as a wonderful and loving mother and by her neighbors and friends as a woman who ever stood ready and willing to aid those in need. She possessed wonderful judgment and even to the last day her children relied upon this. One of her sisters lived to see the age of ninety-one, while another died at the age of ninety-three. The funeral took place from. Jthe home of her daughter on Sunday afternoon. Rev. R. Sanger, pastor of the M. E. church of this village, conducted the services. Interment was in the family lot in Woodland cemetsry. • . . • First U|h«a#it Ctard How brave are you? Can you fight a losing battle with all the zest of a conqueror? Wlien you know you must fail, can you fight on until your enemy, realizing what an awful price you are making him pay for victory, wishes the earth would yawn and swallow him up? Or, if you win, does the very fact of your having won sweep you off your feet and incapacitate you for making use of your winnings? It takes a brave man to win out in many battles, but it often takes a braver one to lose. And bravest of all is he who, winning or losing, retains his self-mastery and faces the next step with his wits about him and his heart beat regular. I am going to speak next Sunday morning on The Bravest Man I Ever Knew." The text will be chosen from Victor Hugo's great masterpiece, "Les Miserables." The service will begin at 11:00 o'clock and everyone is most cordially welcome. John M. Grimes, Minister. Rev. Woifgarten at St. Mary's Rev. Stephen Wolfgajten, at one time pastor of St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburg, but now stationed in Germany, read mass at St. Mary's church here last Sunday morning and made an appeal for financial assistance. Rev. Wolfgarten left a parish at Sterling, 111., some time ago to make a visit to Germany and while over there decided to remain and build a church. The people there, he explained last Sunday morning,-were too poor to erect an edifice alone and therefore his mission to America and his appeal for funds. As a result of his appeal $115 was collected. Next Sunday he will be at Johnsburg* he will also ask alms. MENDELSSOHN CLUB CONCERT The rtfe^Es of thi§ Jyeai^s lyceum course has been considerably enhanced by the splendid concert given Monday night by the Mendelssohn club, the third attraction of the course. Composed of six members, four ladies and two men, the club displayed artistic ability of a high order whether in ensemble^ or in solo numbers. The leader, Mr. .Evarts, is evidently experienced in arranging programs as well as being an accomplished flute player. The latter was displayed particularly in the group of selections from Traviata. which were played in fine manner, amfthe former quality was evidenced by the good taste shown in the selection of numbers. One selection was given also on the piccolo. Miss Bailey, who presided at the piano, is an accomplished accompanist and a vocalist as well. Her numbers were given with marked expression and while her voice is not powerful ;t has a pleasing lyric quality. She sung "I Love a Cottage By the Side of the Road" and "Smilin' Through." Miss Meyers, first violinist, gave a group of selections in splendid fashion. All through the program, whether in solo or group numbers, she showed decided ability and talent. ^ Miss Amsler, in the humbler place of second violin, was yet an important member of the troupe. Miss Sauter, as cellist, gave seyeral fine numbers that met with instant recognition from the audience. The cornetist, Mr. Pignatelli, with Mr. Evarts, completed the personnel. AH told it is a fine concert group, finely trained, good musicians and pleasing performers. From the overture to the finile through a range of worth-while numbers, the Mendelssohn club gave to it£ auditors an evening of musical enjoyment and pleasure, i «EW IDEA FOR MeHBNRY| SNUTOIK LOCAL CLUB - - ' *•"«* " J NEW CONSTITUTION EXPLAINED BY REP. FRANCIS Community CM Members Enjoy Dinner Meeting Ejection of Officers To Be Held At January Session About forty members attended the dinner meeting of the Community Club of McHenry a#Justen's hotel on Tuesday evening of this week. Cliarles H. Francis of Woodstock, state representative from this district, was the speaker of the evening and for more than an hour wont over the proposed new constitution in a manner that was enlightening as well as Empire Theatre Crowded to theVsry -MJuors Last Evening ^ largest crowd that ever assembled for a like entertainment in McHenry crowded the Empire theatre to the very doors last evening, the occasion of the concert sponsored by the McHenry Military band. The program, as published in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, was carried out in its entirety and a little bit more. One number, a comet solo by Mrs. $ddy Coe, was an added feature. ' The audience was one of those appreciative kind and newer failed to educational. The speaker took up! he*rti5y applaud the efforts of those the new laws section by section, explaining the full meaning of each and showing how they would work out in actual operation. Mr. Francis took an impartial who made this very, splendid entertainment possible. Each and every one of the band numbers was roundly applauded as were the songs by Tom and Bob stand' thruout and by so doing pointed J ®rown. w^° appeared in popular songs Coffer and Peanut Roasters Being Installed Here McHenry will this week see the establishment of a roasting plant in the. Brefeld building on the West Side. A lease on the building was drafted and signed a short time ago and on Monday of this week the equipment of the plant was moved out from Chicago. The machinery and equipment are now being placed end wired for electric power and should be ready for bperation the latter part of the week. Geo. P. Power, who operates the Pan-American coffee mills in Chicago, will open the branch roasting plant here. His plans are to roast all grades of the finest ooffees and specialize in jumbo peanuts. Besides this he will also manufacture peanut butter and handle all grades and kinds of teas, spices, extracts, etc. Read the display advertisement which appears elsewhere in this week's issue of The Plaindealer. First Methodist Church Pandora's box would ever be a precious possession though no Greek tale were woven into a legend concerning it. Hope continues to be that priceless thing which urges the prospector forward, the pioneer onward, the man of vision upward. The Hebrew race had a hope dear to their most sacred thought and looked for the incarnation^ of that hope in a Messiah. As a background^for the Christmas message the sermon this next Sunday wll be "The Christmas Hope." A cordial invitation is extended to all to worship with us at this eleven o'clock service. The Sunday school immediately precedes at ten o'clock, at which the children and young people will find« equipped departments and helpful teachers. The Epworth ^league service will begin promptly at 6:80. This week the first study in "J. W. Thinks Black" will be given. Come out and express your opinion. out the sections which he believed good and others which he did not consider so good. His audience gave him an attentive ear thruout his entire explanatory talk and we dare say that every man who heard him is better informed on the new constitution than 1m was before Tuesday night. The speaker announced at the conclusion of his talk that he stood ready to answer any and all questions that might be put to him and, taking advantage of the opportunity of further posting themselves on some of the things that had not been clearly understood, several arose with questions that received a fair and impartial answer. Mr. Francis was given a mighty applause at the, close of his remarks. ^ President W. L. Rowel! announced that the annual election of officers would take place at the next meeting and named E. E. Bassett, T. J. Walsh and William Bickler as a committee of three to nominate the men whom the club will vote for at the doming meeting. Owing to the Christmas and New Year holidays, the next meeting will not be held until Jan. 9, the place for holding same to be announced thru the columns of The Plaindealer in doe tuna. * NEW STAR CAR ARRIVE8 Woodmen, Attention.

Campaign Against Tuberculosis Most forms and phases of tuberculosis are curable if the right treatment is applied early, while most forms are very destructive or fatal if treatment is sought too late. How often the fire signal is given about the time the roof is falling in. Our association has developed modes of diagnosis and treatment. Prevention is our slogan. The Red Cross roll call commenced Armistice day, Nov. 11, and continued until Thanksgiving. The National Tuberculosis association sale of seals began December 1 and will continue until Christmas. Christma^ seals have fi- entertained nanced the campai§§ against " M white plague, which'has William Schaefer, Local Agent, Near Demonstrating New Machine William Schaefer, authorized agent for the Durant and Star automobiles, is now demonstrating the new Star car in this locality and has already made his first delivery of the car which the manufacturers hope will bctoome as popular as the Ford. . & The local agent is very mudh enthused over future prospects and confidently expects to have several of these machines in operation in the McHenry territory by the opening of another touring season. He has made arrangements with M. L. Worts for the renting of the new service station building now under construction on Waukegan street, just west of the railroad tracks, and will occupy these quarters immediately upon their completion. At the present time he is using a five passenger touring car as a demonstrator, altho he will have on display several other models of the Star just as soon as he is able to get into the new building. Mr. Schaefer has already vacated the Brefeld building on Main street, wherein he has conducted an automobile accessory store for some time past. • His stock of accessories will also be moved into the new location.' Anyone desiring a demonstration of the machihe will be accommodated by calling Mr. Schaefer either at his home or at the Brewery Service station, where he is temporarily making his headquarters. Shoots Red Fox M. Justen, who occupies the old Justen homestead on the McHenry- Richmond road, about one mile east of Ringwood, went out "gunning for rabbits on the farm last Sunday afternoon and instead of getting what he the and delivered them in a manner that was most pleasing. The interpretative dancing by little Virginia Gruener proved a real treat, the audience taking most fcindly to the efforts of this littig miss, who some day is certain to make a mark for herself on the American stage. Miss Mary Moritz, whom we justly call our own Mary? won the audience immediately upon her appearance on the, stage. Her endeavor in a selection of ballads was sweet and pleasing. Eddy Coe, in a trombone solo, made a distinct hit as did his wife, who appeared as a cornet soloist. Miss Eleanor Phalin of this village, who appeared in one of her characteristic readings, won the hearts of the big audience. One of the exceptionally pleasing numbers of the evening's program was the work of Tom Brown's saxophone sextette, who appeared in clown costume. Their rendition of latest popular airs was a delight. All in all the program was one of exceptional merit and great credit is due the members of the McHenry band for providing for McHenry such a rare treat. The net receipts of the concert could not be learned this morning. FAIR RECEIPTS $4,6*0 8t. Mary's Choreh Will Clear Cbse *- to $4,000 Taking into consideration the state of conditions in general, St. Mary's church fair, which came to a close at the American Legion hall last Thursday evening, proved a huge success. The total gross receipts of the affair amounted to approximately $4,600 and as near as the executive committee was able to figure out this (Thursday) morning the net receipts will amount clos^ to $4,000. While these figures do not come up to those of last year, the result is considered most gratifying, and, to say the very least, greatly surpassed all,previous expectations. As had quite naturally been expected, Thanksgiving day proved the banner one of them all, the total gross receipts for this day amounting to almost $2,000. It is estimated that between 300 and 400 people were served meals at the hall on that day, while the various booths, stands and attractions did a big business. The winner of the lot has not as yet been decided, but will be made known at a public gathering to be held at the parish hall on Sunday evening, Dec. 17. At the same time various other articles which remained unsold at the bazaar Will also be disposed of. The pastor, Rev. Charles Nix, wishes thru the columns of The Raindealer to express his sincere thanks to the members of the committees, the workers and to the general public, all of whom assisted in bringing the fair to such a gratifying conclusion. As the result of the fair $2,000 of the church indebtedness was paid off last Saturday and if this same spirit of co-operation continues to prevail it appears a safe prediction that the entire indebtedness against St. Mary's will be wiped out within the course of the next four or five years. went after he returned ^ home proud possessor of a good sized red Arranging For Christmas Tree fox.
