One hundred and thirty-nine acres v J of land, laying east of the Des Plainer .. river near Libertyville, were sold last Jwedc for $42,000. The transfer was from Frank Mac Donald Lowe of Chicago to Randall W. Burns of Hinsdale. Four plants operated by the West Dairy company closed on Feb. 1. They '* -are located at Burlington, Pecatonica, Grayslake and Durand. They were closed because the amount of milk received did not warrant their operation. The proposition of voting the annexnation of 2,670 acres of land to the city of Waukegan is to be placed before the • --voters there in the near future. The "step, according to Waukegan officials, . is the first in the way of preparing •. .'for a city of 200,000 population in ten "-years.

According ; - to the Tribune of that village the audi- V jtorium will be the best, excepting the / Crystal Lake auditorium, in McHenry •County. The entire building will be ready for use by the opening of another school year. •• More than two hundred acres of land have been acquired by wealthy Chicagoans at Lake Geneva, Wis., which ' lire to be converted into one of the finest 18-hole golf courses to be found in the central west. Work on the new Course is to start very shortly. The grounds, buildings and contemplated ~ Course will represent a cost of more than $1,500,000. Among those inter- • csted in the new club is Sidney Smith. At the last regular meeting of the Antioch Business club, the superintendent of schools of that village told /the urgent needs of a new community school building. The present --•chool building, he declared, was erected to accommodate not more than Hinty pupils while today there are 130 - pupils enrolled. Antioch is far ahead .o ":#f most towns of its size as far as pub- ; ,f|ic improvements are concerned and it iooks like a safe bet that they will \ j|ave a new school ere long.

OF C. 1 A* crowd of two hundred people enjoyed the hospitality of McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, at a valentine party as given at the K. of C. hall last Thursday evening. The occasion, which has coMe to be an annual event with the McHenry Knights,-proved one of the most enjoyable ever undertaken by that body and the members of the Joyce Kilmer court, D. of A., to whom an invitation had been extended as also the members of the families of the local K. of C., surely passed a most delightful evening. The evening's entertainment started with dancing, both the old-time and late numbers being supplied by the Fox River Four orchestra. A short, but highly enjoyable program, took place at eleven o'clock. The program consisted of a solo by Miss Dorothy Knox who played her own accompaniment on a banjo; solo by Miss Clara Miller, duet by Mesdames C. M. Bickler and F. J. Aicher, two popular songs by Harold Powers of Chicago and a . numberless "How D« You Do" verses by C. W. Stenger. At the conclusioh of the program refreshments, consisting of cake, ice cream and coffee, were served by a j committee made up of members of the j Daughters of America, which was followed by more dancing. Thus the 1925 Valentine party of the McHeni^r Knights * of Columbus will go down on their records as one of the happiest occasions of the kind ever attempted by the body. ROBSUMIHER HOMES FORTY HOMES ENTERED ALONG RIVER AND PISTAKEE i • Contention of some tax payers in that * ®6ty that the assessments made in Lake ' Geneva have been too small, on prop- Jirty that has been improved in the fifteen years while property that *as been sold or has undergone improvements has been taxed up to the limit The petitioners are asking that 'the property be assessed at what it tirould ordinarily sell for at private The community was very much grieved to hear of the death of Mrs August Kunz at her home east of McHenry, on Monday of last week. She had been sick for only a week. Katherine Home was born in Chicago on December 25th, 1861. On the 26th day of November, 1886, she was married to August Kunz, also of Chicago. About thirty years ago they moved to McHenry where she resided until the time of her death. Mrs. Kunz was the mother of four children, three of them living, one son preceding her in death. Besides the grief stricken husband she leaves one daughter# Katherine, two sons, Albert and Fred, and two grand children. Mrs. Kunz was an invalid for nearly seventeen years. The last ten years she was confined to her bed. She was a very quiet woman, bearing her suffering patiently and never complained. The funeral took place at the home on Thursday morning of last week. Interment was made at St. Lucas cemetery in Chicago. The family has the sincere sympathy of their many friends through out the community. McHENRY MAY HAVE NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY Rosie, the maidLillian Freund The advance sale of tickets is now ort and the way the tickets are going would indicate capacity houses on each night. If you have not already provided yourself with tickets and you wish to be one of the "first-nighters" you had better attend to this little matter without further delay, lest you be disappointed. Another feature of the program on these two nights will be the presence of the McHenry high school orchestra which will play before and during the intermissions. Arrangements for this orchestra's appearance were not concluded until after most of the advertising matter had been turned out. However, the dough boys wish to -emphasize that this splendid musical organization will positively be present each night. Elola Boyle MR. AND MRS. JOS. J. MILLER ENTERTAIN FRIENDS MR. AND MRS. JOHN ENGELN ENTERTAIN S. O. S. CLUB Members of the Si O. S. club were most delightfully entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Engeln, on Fox street, east of the river, known as the Gold Coast, on Sunday evening. The enjoyment started with a few piano selections by John Wagner, af- Mr. and fars. Jos. J. Miller most pleasantly entertained a company of friends at their home on Riverside Drive last Sunday afternoon and evening. A very unique manner was chosen in entertaining the guests during the afternoon hours which were passed in target shooting. Three size targets were placed in front of a heavy background and an air rifle Was used by the marksmen. At the conclusion of the shooting, the scores were summed up and it was found that the host stood high with 118 points, Jos. W. Rothermel second with 109 points, Simon Michels, third with 91 and Nick F. Freund, fourth, with 32. Mrs. Nick Freund was high among the ladies with 48 points; Mrs. Jos. J. Miller, second, with 27 points,,while Mrs. Simon Michels and Mrs. Jos. W. Rothermel were tied with 14 points each. After enjoying a palatable supper, the gathering sat down to enjoy a few hours at pinochle after which honors were tendered to Mrs. Jos. W. Rothermel, for the ladies and Jos. W. Rothermel for the gents. In the target shooting Mr. Rothermel also, was awarded high honors, as the host's modesty would not allow the prize to go to himself. McHENRY WOMAN INSTRUMENTAL IN CAPTURE OF THREE CHICAGO MEN SATURDAY Three young men, believed to be the perpetrators of forty or more robberies among summer homes in this Fox river district, are temporarily making their homes at the McHenry county jail at Woodstock and, altho they have thus far denied guilt to some of the robberies which have taken place here during the past week, enough evidence was turned against them at a hearing before Justice P. W. Desmond at Woodstdfk on Monday afternoon to warrant that official to bind them over to the grand jury in the sum of $5,000 each. Credit for their apprehension justly belongs to Mrs. Henry Berkircher of Emerald Park and Officer Jack Walsh of this city, whose quick action brought about their capture. About 4:30 o'clock last Saturday afternoon a Hupmobile sedan pulled up to one of the cottages at Emerald Park. Three men were seen to leave the machine and enter one of the cot-' tages not far distant from that owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berkircher. The action of the men appeared very suspicious to Mrs. Berkircher, who lost no time in jumping into her own car and at break-neck speed raced to this city where Bhe notified Officer Jack Walsh. SOON READY FOR PAVE LETTING EXPECT TO ADVERTISE FORBIDS : NEXT MONT^ ' •F'-* _ (' '• v . That McHenry will start her first paving improvement this spring was practically assured at the final hearing which took place at Woodstock last Saturday morning.

At least, this seems to have been the experiences of other cities and towns who faced a similar situation as confronts us. As stated in these columns some weeks a'ong, the proposed paving project has been divided into three districts. One includes Fox River Drive, gym where the athletic gwBe8 staged. The athletic program proved quit* an entertaining feature of the even* insr's jollification. The first of these games to be staged was that of volley ball, played between teams represent# ing the east and west sides of the city^' the East Siders winning the contest bf a score of 21 to 19. Next in order was an indoor baseing from the bridge to the public park.

The son was not injured but Howe received a Rev. B. F. Wentworth of the McHenry Methodist church is of the belief that a sufficient amount of interest can be awakened among the citizenship here to warrant the opening of a public library in this city. McHenry is probably one of the few towns in this section which is without such an institution and The Plaindealer feels certain that there are many who would welcome a library here. Mr. Wentworth informs us that he has already secured encouragement to induce him to put the proposition before the business men and if their cooperation is to be had the project will very likely be put over. HOW MUCH LONGER PLEASE MR. GOVERNOR & jfnkle and other minor injuries Armour A Company, Chicago packers, will soon start construction of a f60,000 addition to their meat base at Waukegan. The base, which now has % capacity of refrigerating 75 head of tattle, will be increased to 200-head capacity. This will bring in a 40-ton »achine to supply refrigeration. The - Addition will make Waukegan a meat Supply base for a much larger territory than before. At the present time tj-ucks from the Waukegan base carry v meats as far north as Walworth eounty and to McHenry county on the west. The new territory is. to be to the southwest and will include Crystal Lake, Wauconda and Lake Zurich. The work on the new addition is to be pushed in the hope that same will be oy My for Mtupatien within sixty Another. contract, that of paving 7.S7 miles of road on route 28, just south of Marengo was awarded by the state highway department on Monday of this week. McHenry citizens are still awaiting the news telling them of the awarding of the unfinished section on Route 20 as it will pass thru this city. Another spring is almost here and still no action on this particular stretch. Wonder how long the Goverbrfken nor ^ee's that our patience will hold laughter with his famous buck and wing dance. After this all sat down for progressive euchre. High favors at bards went to Mrs. Peter Weber for the ladies and Frank Rosing for the gents; consolations were awarded to Mrs. John Wagner and Peter Engeln. A sumptuous evening dinner followed the card games. Peter Weber acted as toastmaster during the after-din ner program and more than did his bit at entertaining the crowd. An inter esting review of the life of Shake speare was contributed by Frank Zuelsdorf; William Hironimus of Round Lake spoke on the topics of the day and a male quartet, consisting of Peter Engeln, Frank Hironimus, Joe Lenzen and John Wagner, concluded the evening's enjoying by ainging "Till We Meet Again." REDECORATING INTERIOR OF BOLGER PHARMACY out. WE WANT THAT ROAD AND XVANT IT THIS YEAR. People are avoiding this city right now owing to the terrible condition of that unfinished stretch. 80CIAL WHEEL MEMBERS PLEASE TAKE NOTICE The Bolger drug store on Green street is undergoing quite extensive interior improvements and after all changes will have been made, the place will present a most pleasing appearance. Already new window lights have been installed, the ceiling and walls painted while Thos. Kane, the decorator on the job, is now en gaged in dressing up the fixtures and other woodwork. The repainting of the walls, especially, have served in brightening up the store to a very marked degree. ^ NEW POOL HALL e ^*1 OPENS NEXT SATURDAY The next meeting will take place at the hone of Mrs. L.

Phalin, who will be remembered by most of the followers of the "ponies" during the old race track days of this city, now has charge of a fine string of horses owned by A. H. Severingshaus of Chicago, who has a large estate at Pistakee Bay. Some of the animals now being worked out and handled by Mr. Phalin are "Blaze Direct," a pacer; "Volo Law," pacer; "Marion Silk," pacer; "Doctor Law," trotter. Mr. Severingshaus constructed a one-third mile track on his Pistakee estate last yettf, which will be ready for use by May 1. The Chicago man is a great lover of good horse flesh and, according to reports, he will soon have as fine a string of race horses as may be found anywhere. Mr. Phalin, who has charge of the animals, is keeping them in the very best of shape and by the time that spring rolls around they should be in excellent condition for track work. WU44AM ROTHERMEL" HOMfc LAST SATURDAY William Rothermel, who so unfor- • _ tunately lost his right hand while aty^e e,, r,J work at the Hunter Boat factory on eir Tuesday morning of last week, was brought back to McHenry from the Woodstock hospital last Saturday morning. He was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. J. Rothermel, who reside just outside of the north city limits, where he and his wife will stay for a while. Altho the arm is still giving the victim more or less pain, the wound is healing nicely. day before and who had been investi gating these reports, saw~ln an instant that here was his opportunity to land th^e men who had evidently been doing these "jobs." Taking no chances, he immediately wired Wauconda officials to be on the lookout for the machine, giving them the license number which Mrs. Berkircher had so thoughtfully secured before leaving for McHenry. and then hurried to Emerald Park. On his arrival there he found that the car had left. Knowing that better time could be made via the cement road, Officer Walsh, accompanied by John R. Knox and Allen Noonan, jumped into ope of Mr. Knox's cars and started their race to Wauconda. Upon their arrival in the latter village they found that the marshal of Wauconda, assisted by a Lake county deputy and a number of citizens, had been successful in stopping the car just as the machine was entering the cement road apparently on its way to Chicago. The men were Ordered out of the machine and searched. Then the car was searched and in it was found some of the articles that had been stolen from the McHenry cottages together with threfe well-loaded revolvers and about 250 rounds of ammunition, which gave sufficient evidence that the trio were ready for any emergency. It was learned further that the machine had slowed up near the Maiman garage for the purpose of investigating the supply of gasoline and as the garage obstructed the view of the main highway, the men apparently did not see the crowd which was waiting for them until too late for them to step onto the gas and make their escape. The trio was brought to McHenry in three different machines. One of them was loaded into a Ford driven by Frank Meyer, an employee of the Knox Motor Sales of this city, who happened to be at Wauconda at the time. Another was taken into the ma chine driven by John R. Knox of this city, while the third was ordered into the Hupmobile. All of the men were well guarded. On their arrival in McHenry the three were taken to the city hall and after a lengthy questioning by State's Attorney Pouse, who had been called, they were taken to the McHenry coun ty jail at Woodstock. During the questioning at the city hall here the men admitted nothing and were much inclined to dodge the questions as put to them. When they did answer, it was plain to be seen that they were net high school building to the depot. An ordinance was passed last year which provides that all of the underground improvements along these streets must be in no later than June 1st of this year and while most of the property owners along these streets have already complied with the ordinance there are still a number who have not and it should therefore be remembered that these improvements must be in by June 1st. Failure on the part of the property owners to comply will necessitate that the work be done by the city and charged up against the property. If everything goes along as the board hopes that it will, the paving improvements should be in early this summer. I TO TWO ACT COMEDY I GIVEN AT M. E.

As usual, the two Catholic churches in this city will hold gpecial services thfuout the period. During their hearing at Woodstock on Monday afternoon some of the loot found in the car was identified by owners of summer homes that had been entered during the week. From evidence that has been unearthed before and since the trio's arrest, it can be seen that they had operated in this summer resort district for about a week. A license plate, found near one of the cottages that had been ransacked at Pistakee Bay, corresponded with the one on the car. This plate was probably torn from the car while the machine was being turn' ed around, the plate having become entangled in a wire fence. This plate was turned over to Officer Walsh by Lew Pitzen last Friday. It is believed that before Woodstock officials conclude their questioning the trio will be charged with the burglawization of all of the cottages entert d along the river and at Pistakee Lake ^ ^ ' T "Listen Ladies," a two act comedy, will be given at the M.
