Services were conducted at St. Patrick's church with interment in St. Patrick's cemetery. The grading along Elm street is being pushed with all possible haste. It is the desire of the contractor to have this stretch in readiness for the pouring of cement just as soon as the Riverside Drive and Pearl street stretches have been completed. The Main street paving job is now completed as far as the Simon Stoffel block and unless more trouble sets in or jrain interferes, the West Side job should be completed by the first of next week after which the big mixer will be moved over to Riverside Drive.

Parents should warn their children against this practice and point out to them the damage that results from such a misdemeanor. The members of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, will attend a memorial mass in a body at St. Patrick's church at 8:30 next Saturday morning. Father Hackett, chaplain of the council, will read the mass. The Knights- will meet at the hall at eight o'clock and march to the church in a body. Decoration Day coming on Saturday an unusually large week end crowd is expected by hotel men and resort owners in this city and along the river and lakes. Many of the summer home owners have already opened their cottages for the summer and before the end of next month all of the .cottages will again be occupied. A new loader-and clam were unloaded here by the McGucken & Vander Heyden Construction company last Friday to replace the old outfit which had been giving the workmen more than a little trouble. It was not until Monday morning, however, that the new outfit was operated and since then better progress is being made. The eighth grade commencement exercises of St. Mary's parochial school will be held at the McHenry community high school auditorium on Thursday evening, June 11, at which time the largest class in, the history of the school will receive their diplomas.

Quinn, old time fiddlers. Robert J. Frisby, who is employed by the state to patrol route 20 between Volo and Woodstock, wishes The Plaindealer to state that his telephone number is 148-M. Anyone wishing to reach him may do so by calling that number. Mr. Frisby has been the patrolman of this stretch for some time past and has been doing some very creditable work. The McHenry baseball club will travel to Crystal Lake next Saturday afternoon where they will hook up with the Algonquin Indians. This will be the first meeting of these two teams this season and a close and hotly contested struggle may be ex pected. A large number of fans from this city are planning on seeing the contest. Carpenter work on one of the two homes to be erected by Patrick Cleary, on Waukegan and Main streets, is progressing very favorably as is also the work on the new home under construction for Mrs. Laura Kent on Main street. The latter place is being erected by Stephen H. Freund and his men while the owner, with the assistance of M. S. Freund, will erect the" Cleary houses. Kent & Green, local realtors, report that they are in receipt of inquiries for summer homaa from two distant states. One of the inquiries came from Den ver, Colo., while the other came from a city down in Florida. That our beautiful river and chain of lakes are known practically the country over is quite evident. McHenry has, no one can deny, the best summer resort proposition in the country. MCHENRY'S •QUE OF AMUSEMENT "WE CAN T PLAY THEM ALL SO WE PLAY THE BEST" " >;? THURS..

JUNE 4 4 5 INEZ FROM HOLLYWOOD (Continued Fox river and it is for thi« reason that the more farsighted and public spirited men of the valley have set out to prepare for this condition. The Fox river valley has already showed signs of a healthy and substantial growth. More and more are the people in Chicago beginning to realize and appreciate this beautiful section, one of the most beautiful in the state of Illinois, and it is only natural that Chicago's overflow will find its way to the Fox river valley henceforth in greater numbers than ever before. The stream, according to an estimate as worked out by the Fox Valley Federation, will witness a population of no less than a million people within the course of the next twenty years. !J"he down river cities and towns are already making a determined bid for this increased population and McHenry will get her proportionate quota, however, not so soon as other sections unless the citizens here go after it, according to the statement of Mr. Brandon. The speaker appeared quite familiar with Fox river in this particular section and opened his address by saying that "you have sold Fox river to me and I am here tonigbt to sell it tMMMd apoB niaey the Fox which were probably new to most of his listeners. Up«n the close of his very excellent talk the club voted to take out a membership in the Fox Valley federation and in this manner expressed itself as willing and ready to assist in this great work. Mrs. Ward of Batavia, affiliated with the woman's branch of the federation, was also called upon for a few remarks and in a very pleasing manner, told of the part that the women thruout their section of the valley were taking. The work laid out for this body, according to her declarations, is for the beautification of the river's banks and the highways along its course. The present north- boundary of this club's activity is Algonquin but with proper encouragement their labors will eventually reach as far north as the lakes. The planting of trees and shrubbery along the banks of the stream and highways and the elimination of all advertising, out side of cities and towns, appear an their aim and according to Mrs. Ward the ladies are receiving a great deai of encouragement and have confidence that their program will at some future time be brought to a full and a ttt Mr*.
