Owners of Summer Hou<t at Jforthfcrn Lakes In Co-operation Plan. Summer reporters in northern Illinois have revolted. Manning motor boats, each plente- ously stocked with provisions and camp supplies, they purpose bidding defiance to haughty hotel keepers and sordid proprietors of stores who make their own prices and take their own time about delivering the goods. Next summer will see them, if their campaign succeeds, thoroly entrenched at Lake Catherine, Lake Marie, Chan­ nel and Bio?? Lakes, behind tb?rss- parte of the Property Owners' Protec­ tive association, prepared to fight it out if it takes ail summer. • With the cue furnished by classic Evanston's recently announced co oper ative store, Chicago owners of summer homes have launched the plan. All of them are prominent. Some owning homes there are Q O. Richardson of Standard Oil connections, Henry Paul son, Dr. Walter T. Venn and William and John Ayling. Heading the move ment is Fred Ames, treasurer of Lake county, who lives in Wankegan. 8nrprla« Leteb Page. A number of her schoolmates and friends tendered Miss Letah Paare a very pleasant surprise at her country home last Friday evening. The jolly crowd left town in the early hours of the even­ ing, and altho unprepared lor guests the pleasant little lint-Less made the evening a most enjoyable one for all present. The various games that are usually indulged in on occasions of this sort kept the crowd in a happy mood for several hours, after which refresh ments were served. Just before taking their departure the gnests expressed themselves as having had a jolly, good time at the hands of an excellent enter tainer. Those who made up the party were: Julia Freund, Cora belle McOm ber, Esther Stoffel, Martha Sloffel, Le- nore Freund, Verena Justen, Rosa Roes- man, Lelah Claxton, Frances Kimball, E!dythe Petesch, Mary Bonslett, Ger trude Fay, Letah Page; Loren Martin, Leon Dodge, Francis Bonslett, Edward Bonslett, James Boyle, Everett Hunter, James Burke, William Bickler, Percy Lodtz, Germer Petesch, Leo Stilling, Lester Page. EXCHANGE CLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN MfHEMRY ADJACENT COUNTIES. AND Rig Dancing Kvont Coining. That the dancing craze is losing none of its charm in McHenry and vicinity is evident from the manner that these social functions are being patronized here. The dances at Stoffel s hall dur ing the past summer have been of ex ceptionally l^igh order, and from the inauner that the young people of this place and the surrounding towns are turning out to these affairs we feel safe in stating that McHenry is one of tlie most popular dancing places in the county. The biggest dancing event of the season will take place on Saturday evening, Oct. 29, when Sherman's seven piece orchestra of Woodstock baa been engaged to furnish the music. It is. indeed, very seldom that the dance lov ing public of McHenry is given the op portunity of tripping the light fantas­ tic to the strains of a seven piece orchef tra and for this reason the event is being looked forward to with pleasure, by the young people especially. Dancing will begin at 8:80 p. in., sharp, and will con tinue until 12:00 o'clock. Tickets for this occasion are $1.00. All are invited Auto Turns Turtle. As a result of bis machine turning turtle while driving along the highway near the W. D. Gould residence south of town last Saturday evening, John R. Knox is wearing several stitches in the back of his head. John, with Misses Anna Frisby and Maude Bernard in the machine, was driving along the high­ way at au ordinary rate of speed when the driver momentarily lost control of tbw car, the machine muning down the side of the road embankment and turn­ ing turtle. Miss Frisby, by jumping, escaped injury, while Miss Bernard suf­ fered a slight cut ou the arm. The driver, who suffered most from the mis­ hap. received two had cuts on the head, which required several stitches. Out­ side of a broken wind shield and top the auto w is uninjured. Mr*. J nli «i M <i*!l«»r Mrs. John Mueller passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Kennebeck, on Wednesday morning of this week.

Harvard Independent: One of t.he finest treats of the season that ever came our way was a box of delicious strawberries, last Friday morning, sent by R. C. Uecke, and a splendid nam pie jf a wonderful second growth, even Detter than the regular crop They were if the really fine class and actual welt • n-your mouth specimens. As the result of an attack by an infur. .ated bird at Fox Lake on Tuesday of last week, Walter Hansen, 18 years old. <on of Theodore Hansen of Chicago, may lose his sight. The sight of one eye was entirely destroyed. Yonug Hansen, who *as viaiting relatives at Fox Lake, acci lentally stepped on a mud hen, when the bird flew at the boy, its long bill piercing his eyes. The Humane society of Elgin cele­ brated its first anniversay recently. The society bas a membership uf over forty and has worked by suggestion rather than prosecution. Good work bas been accomplished and many poor horses have been removed from the streets. Quite a little teaching has been done in the public schools along lines planned by the society. Here's another strawberry story: Rev I. N. Adrian, the well known fruit raiser of Huntley and former Elgin pas tor, bas a second crop of strawberries and is sending boxes of the fruit fresh from the garden to his friends. The berries are among the best that have been seen here during the season and are relished by those who receive them. He hopes to perfect a plant that will iu variably produce two crops during even the short season in this section. After a short and tempestuous career of three years on the commercial hori­ zon, the Elgin Milk ami Cream com pany, which was organized in 1907, passed into oblivion on Oct. 1, when the doors of its model plant at Gilberts were locked. The company was incor­ porated for $50,000 with the prospe<fts of a splendid future, but, according to former officers, under misguided man agement, too much of the capital was invented iu new machinery, with the result that the company went bankrupt several months ago. Richmond Gazette; Peter Olson closed a deal Tuesday of last week, whereby he disposed of his farm located three miles east of this village to Chas. Rush, who will be given possession March 1. The farm contains sixty acres and sold for $9000, or $150 an acre. This is perhaps the highest figure ever paid for farm land in this township, though the Olson farm is well improved and is certainly worth the price it brought. Mr Olson bought the place ten years ago for $70 an acre, and $4800 or $80 an acre represents the increase in the valne of the property aince it bas in Mr. Olson'n posseasiuu. Gottlieb Henne bas also sold the 106 acre farm located four miles southwest of this village, which he purchased a little over a year ago of B. A. Whiting and for which he paid $87 an acre, the selling price now being $100 an acre. MACADAMIZED STREETS. Village Officials Will Espe^lment With Twenty Carloads «>f Crushed Stone. McHenry is to have macadamized streets. At least, the crushed stone is to be givAn a fair trial, and if the new street covering comes up to expectations McHeury will say farewell to gravel for- evfer. The village officials have set aside a sufficient amount of the funds to give the crushed stone a fair trial and work has already been commenced in differ­ ent parts of the village in covering the highways with what is said to be the Out real *uluiioQ to goou and perma­ nent roads. The amount appropriated will pur­ chase about twenty cjirloads of ^a>d stone, which is being placed now. In speaking with one of the village aldermeu we were iuformed by that gentleman that the street question has been discussed by the beard for some months, and after cimwidering several different kinds of street coverings they had finally come to the conclusion that the crushed stone whs the best thing that oue could n»-t to solve the good and permanent road problem. People in other places where this material ha* been used for years speak very highly of satu<\ saying that it makes the very tient of roada wheu ouce packed Over in Lake county, especially in the vicinity of Libertyville. the material bas t»een lined on the highway* aud t.hoae who have passed over thtfie declare them to he the very bt-st in the land. While the appropriation in McHenry is uot snttii iently large to purchase enough to cover all of our streets, or eveu all of the main thoroughfares, enouub <>f it will l>e placed to demon­ strate its worth moat-decisively. It the experiment proves successful another appropriation. n«.'» donbt, will be made for the purchase of additional stone next yeHr. The Plaindealer heartily believes that tbe step thus taken by the village is in the right direction aud in keeping with the other towns that are showing the progressive spirit, and, furthermore, lielieves that the work will receive tbe stamp of approval from every public spirited citizen of McHenry and the sur- rouudiug country. Tw«nl}'-tliir«l W>-ddtiiff Auulrersary. In honor of their twenty-third wed­ ding anniversary Mr. and Mrs N. P. Hteilen very pleasantly eutertained a large company of friends at the Mc Heurv House ou Tuesday evening of this week Tbe evening was a most pleasant one for the occasion and as a result nearly all those to whom invita tions to the aff • ir had been sent respond­ ed. The evening was spent in a manner that was most fitting, as well as enjoy­ able, to each and everyone present, and we want to say right here, that when it comes to real eutertaining the couple who took the part of host and hostess did np the job in No. 1 style. Nothing that would lend to the pleasure and entertainment of those present was left undone and after all was over the gnests were of oue opinion, i. e., a pleasant time well spent. Among the especially enjoyable features was tbe dancing, in which all took an active part. It is very seldom that one has tbe opportu­ nity of seeing youug and old mingling together at a dance, as was the case in thia particular instance. The occasion will long remain in the memories of those present. BLUSHING FALL BRIDES PRETTY SIX O'CLOCK WEDDING AT ELGIN SATURDAY. William lluunill l>«md.

Wm. Bed ford-J ones, rector of the Church of the Redeemer, officiating. The bridal gown was imported bro­ caded silk in a very light blue She wore no veil, her only ornaiueut being a diamond and pearl LaValier, the gift of tbe groom. Her bouquet was a shower of bride's roses aud lilies of the valley. Decorations of the home for the affair were in yellow thruout. The parlors were in masses of yellow dahlias used with potted ferns. The bay window was hung with bright autumn vines and banked with the ferns and palms. In the dining room, where a course wed­ ding supper was served on one long table, yellow candle shades and the dahlias carried out a color scheme of yellow and white. Mrs. Anderson catered. Mr. and Mrs. Arvedson left amid showets of rice and confetti by auto­ mobile. The bride's going away suit was a tan English cheviot, and sh€ wore a brown velvet hat.

Upon their retnrn from a short wed­ ding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Arvedson will be at home with the groom's parents until their new home is completed, ?bont tbe first of December. The best of all was the surprise which the bride and groom experienced when they boarded the third rail car at Wayne, to find a party of young people on board, who did the honors of the occasion, escorting them as far as Wheaton. ' Mrs. Arvedson has a large acquaint­ ance here, having resided here the greater part of her lifetime, residing in McHenry, however, for a number of years. She is a graduate of the high school at McHenry with the class of 1906. Until this spring she was super ylsor for the Chicago Telephone com pany. She has a large number of girl friends who have given a number of pre nuptial events in her honor the past month. Mr. Arvedson attended the University of Illinois and is now interested in the G. F.

A magazine and leading table has been placed in the front hallway for the use of the high school students. Dona­ tions to the amount of ten dollar^ have been handed in by students and teachers. The following magazines and periodicals have been subscribed for: The Inde­ pendent, Success, American, Pearsons, American Boy, Technical World, Pro gressive Teacher, World Today, Phys­ ical Culture, Current Literature.

Any citizen who wishes to donate any maga zine or money towards the maintenance of this table will have the privilege of coming to the public school building at any time and looking over this current literature. We have on our reading table a num­ ber of foreign newspapers bearing names of places which require one to recall forgotten geography or refer to the atlas for location. These are complimentary from the Chamberlain Medicine com pany, whose advertisement is contained in each. Boms of them are particularly furious, as they are published in the vernacular or native languages. Here are the well known Chinese characters, arranged in vertical lines reading from top to bottom, the lines arranged from right to left. The Burmese language seems most peculiar, the characters be­ ing composed principally of a combina­ tion of circles. Someone wittingly sug gested that for this reason circulars would be properly printed in this language. To an American newspaper man it is interesting to note tbe manner in which the colonial English news­ papers are made up. They still cling to the methods which were practiced in this country fifty years ago, the adver­ tisements being on the first few pages, followed generally by the heavy editor­ ials, then a few meager cable and tele graphic items, afterwards the local news. The Chamberlain Medicine com­ pany advertises in newspapers printed in thirty-two languages. Besides the papers already mentioned, we have copies from Ceylon, Bengoli, South Africa, Java, etc. Wauconda Woman Stricken Blind. Mrs. H. L. Grantham, wife of Alder­ man Grantham of Wauconda, who has been blind in one eye for a number of years, bas .almost completely lost the sight of the other eye.
