Miss Alice Miller is a new employee at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company, having entered upon her new duties on Monday* morning of this week. On account of poor health Mrs. E. E. Cropley of Solon Mills has .been obliged to givj up nursing temporarily. She will again take up the work just as soon as she is able. Mrs. Jacob Stock and family are now nicely settled in their new home on Pearl street, having moved to town from th« farm a short time ago. The farm is now being worked by Frank Stock. Twenty-five candidates wul be given the first degree at the next meeting of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, to take place at their hall on Thursday evening of next week, April 30. The Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church wish to thank those persons who so kindly donated towards the funds which will go towards the payment of having the sewerage led to the parsonage, The bake sale, as conducted by the members of the Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church at the city hall last Saturday, was very well patronized. The net proceeds were placed into the society's .treasury. The members of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, will this year perform their Easter obligations on Sunday, May 10. Communion will be received in a body at the eight o'clock mass at St. Mary's church in this city. The McHenry band, which has been holding its regular rehearsals during the past few weeks, is again" rounding into condition for the summer season. This organization, as we have so often stated, is a real asset to McHenry and should be given the moral and financial aid of our citizens. Be a booster for the McHenry band. Mrs. John Hickey of Chicago, who recently purchased the lot at the corner of Green and Broad streets, has had the small cottage thereon greatly enlarged and improved and will occupy the place during the coming summer. She will probably erect a modern home on the corner some time in the future but just when, she has not as yet decided. Quite a number of our citizens and patrons of the McHenry community high school attended the banquet as given by the students in honor of the basket ball team last Saturday evening. The occasion was held in the gymnasium, the entire spread having been prepared and served by the cooking class of the school under the supervision of Miss Ruth Stockebrand. The class play, "Nothing But The Truth" as given by the Junior class of the McHenry community high school oif' Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week, was very well patronized and received with great enthusiasm by the audiences which witnessed the play on the two nights. The students were directed by Miss Nellie Miller, a member of the school faculty, while the high school orchestra lent its assistance by contributing several beautiful numbers. Glenn Brown, son of the late Fred Brown and Lillie Brown, nee McDonald, passed away at his late home in Chicago on April 8 at the age of eighteen years, after a short illness of pneumonia. He was well known to many of our residents as his parents formerly resided here. He held a fine position with a bond house in the city up to the time of his death. He leaves to mourn his early demise his mother, three brothers and five sisters. Friends of the family extend sympathy to the bereaved ones in their hour of sorrow. Patrick Cleary has tfie basement in for a second home on his property facing Main and Waukegan streets. Instead of one, he contemplates the erection of two new homes tfbth of which will be quite large. Ground has also been broken for a new home to be erected by Mrs. Laura Kent on her property facing Main street. She, too, made the decision to erect at least one., if not two, more houses on her property. With all of the new improvements going in at this time, it is only fair to presume that these will attract new residents to our city. The Artificial Stone & Construction company and the McHenry Lumber company are very anxious for a new cement walk to be erected along their properties on the north side of the road, west of the railroad tracks. These two companies are only awaiting word from the Chicago & Northwestern which will assure them that the railroad company will also consent McHENRY'S •QUE OF AMUSEMEHT "WE CAN'T PLAY THEM ALL SO WE PLAY THE BEST" THUR.

The importance of increasing the membership in the organization was brought out in thoughts as expressed by F. G. Schreiner. In his opinion there seems to be a lack of interest in the community club among some of our citizens. Everyone in McHenry should be a booster for this organization and the membership should be at least 100, he said. Thos. A.Bolger, - a rural ^ resident but who has always taken a kindly interest in the club and the work which, it has done and proposes to do, believed that the organization should get busy in "boosting" route 61 which some day will be paved so as to connect Algonquin, McHenry and Richmond and then proceed north to connect with Route 12 at the Illinois-Wis consin state line. He told of meetings that had been held at Crystal Lake wherein a route that would pass thru that city and thence thru Terra Cotta is being proposed. McHenry should get busy he stated, and let the state highway department know that We are anxious for the building of that stretch and at the same time get together on tha route to be followed. Summing up the entire meeting it appears quite certain at this time that McHenry will be given an ornamental lighting system in all business sections, welcome sigiis will' be erected, tiie free tourists camp continued and a big special sales day inaugurated by the business men at some near future date. The Plaihdealer wishes once more to impress upon the minds, of those who have not as yet sent in their memberships to do so without further delay The club can and will accomplish many fine things for the city and community if only the full co-operation of our people is forthcoming.

RAIDERS FIND THE POLLY PRIM ORDERLY PLACE Sheriff Edinger and his deputies of Woodstock visited the Polly Prim last Saturday evening. They were armed with a search warrant which had been issued from the State's Attorney's office. The place was searched very thoroly but the raiders had to leave without finding anything wrong. A. J. Pouliot, manager of the Polly Prim, has done everything within his power to keep up the good name the place has established for itself. No liquor as ever been sold in the place sinct? its erection and as long as Mr. Pouliot is in management the public may rest assured that the tavern will be conducted in the same highly respectable manner as has won for it a very popular reputation among the better class of people. There was a fine crowd of young people at the place when the raiders arrived. The visit of Jie officials failed to cause much excitement, the dancers keeping right on enjoying themselves just as if nothing out of the ordinary was taking place. WITONOH4 CAMP FIRE .
