LEGION BANQUET THURSDAY EVENING All Ex-service Men Are Invited u Attend at Bidder's McHenry House Oh next Tuesday evening the local post of the American Legion will hold its annual banquet at Bickler's McHenry House. These banquets in the 'past have always been most enjoyable affairs and this year will be no exception. It is hoped that every member of the Legion and every man in this vicinity who saw service in the World War will be in attendance. Tickets may be secured at Bolger's Drug Store or at the McHenry Plaindealer office, at one dollar per plate. At this time arrangements will be made for a huge membership drive, the aim of which is to enroll every ex-service man in the organization, in accordance with the recent proclamation of State Commander Ferre C. Watkins, designating the week of Feb. 12-19 as American Legion week throughout the state of Illinois. Fellows, get in now, don't wait to be asked. „ Why I Belong: Because I was more fortunate than others who served the United States in the World War, in that there are many who are wounded, sick, disabled and destitute. Consider yourself. It goes without saying that you believe the disabled and destitute, resulting from the great war, should be aided and cared for. The fortunes of war brought you back with the ability to make a living and the opportunity to use that ability. Your duty, then, is to consider those who were less fortunate than you. Your membership in the American Legion places you as one in a position of administering relief to worthy cases and puts you shoulder to shoulder with those who are supporting movements designed to aid thousands of pitiful cases. No other organization has done as much for the ex-service men as The American Legion, and no other body can accomplish as much for h'm in the future. If your desire to see the disabled veteran get common justice is sincere, you can reach but one conclusion on this question of membership in The American Legion. FRANK L.

Allen, in county court last Friday morning selected Saturday, Feb. 19, as the date for holding the election ife McHenry and Nunda townships, at which time the voters will decide the question as to whether they desire to organize a park district. A petition, signed by a large number of citizens of T;he proposed district, was presented to Judge Allen, who acted upon the request immediately. Two polling places will be used at the election one located in the city hall at McHenry and the other in the school house in District No. 17, in Nunda township. Judges and clerks of the election for the city hall polling places are: W. J. Welch, Charles B. Harrison and S. H. Freund. and for the polling place in School District No. 17, Walter Walsh, Thomas A. Bolger and Robert Knox. The ballot will read "For Park District" and "Against Park District." It will also contain a place for the selecting of five park board commissioners. The matter of the organizing of a park district was recently sponsored by the McHenry Kiwanis club and a committee appointed within its membership to work out the plan. Shortly afterwards this committee selected five additional members outside of the club to work with it, with the result that a petition was circulated, the same being presented to County Judge Allen Friday. A district was outlined, comprising about forty square miles of lake, river and adjacent property. This includes all of the land in McHenry township bordering on the Fox river, Pistakee Bay and McCollum's lake, and fourteen square miles in Nunda township, bordering on the Fox river, including Griswold and Lily lakes.

Huemann Farm, Occupied By Joseph Smith and Faauly The farm home on the old Huemann homestead, now owned by Fred W. Huemann, was completely destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning about 8:30 o'clock. The farm, which is situated on the Johnsburg road, about two miles north of McHenry, is now occupied by Joseph Smith and family and they had just finished breakfast when they heard queer crackling noises and something dropping on the floor above, when they went to investigate they found the whole upper floor in flames and were unable to gain entrance to the upstairs. By this time Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, brother and nearest neighbor, had seen the flames breaking through the roof around the cimney and hurried to their assistance. The alarm was spread and neighbors helped in saving the furniture from the first floor snd many things from the basement. The McHenry fire department also responded to the call. It is thought that the fire started in the attic from a defective chimney and possibly had been smouldering for sometime. The occupants of the house afterwards recalled how they had heard strange noises and crackling sounds during the night and early morning, but thought that it was mice working in the walls and paid no attention to it, until later when the sound of falling bricks convinced them that something was seriously wrong. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their daughter received permission to occupy the Nick Becker cottage which adjoins the farm and, where they moved their household goods that had been rescued from the blaze Wednesday afternoon. The house destroyed by fire was a 7-room building and was partially covered by insurance. It was erected about twenty-five or thirty years ago, follow ing a fire which destroyed the farm home occupied at that time by George Schaid. FOX RIVER TO BE CLEANED Tons of Refuse Will Be Taken From Stream and Restore it lit e Natural Beauty Fox river valley citizens who last year voted in favor of a valley-wide sanitary conservancy district will see the initial fruits of their action this sprinp when district trustees launch the arduous task of ridding the river from its mouth to its headwaters of the refuse that has been piled into it over the past hundred years.. ' Tons and tons of old cans dismantled automobiles, old wagons, old tanks, boilers, fish-cans, old iron, wire decrepit pots and pans, and almost ..verything imaginable in the way of jUnk, will be1 removed from the river vOd as the first step in restoring the :iver to the state of natural beauty and purity it enjoyed before the coming of the white man." "We have voted for a levy of $20,- uOO in taxes to be raised this spring ;n the five counties the district oc- ?jpies," stated Mayor W..H. Blencoe uf Geneva, president of the district, and this money will be expended in d.agging and cleaning the river bed, -ind in conducting engineer's surveys of the district preparatory to definitely establishing sewage disposal units.

Counties in which the district'^jterritory lies include Kane, Luke, McHenry, LaSalle and Kendall. The boundaires of the district, roughly speaking, extend one mile on either side of the center of the Fox river and each of its principal tributary streams and lakes.

They were on their way to meet Fred Schoewer at the LaSalle theatre in Chicago, where they planned to see "Abie's Irish Rose," and thus celebrate their birthday and wedding anniversaries which occurred that week. They left home, well and happy, about six o'clock and in. an hour's time the accident had happened. About three miles ffeis side of Lake Zurich, Mr. Schaefer was driving with dimmed lights for the cars coming towards him when suddenly he saw a man by the side of the road waving a red handkerchief. Thinking that the man wanted a ride, Mr. Schaefer did not stop until almost instantly he saw directly ahead an International truck, with three cows in it. The truck, which it was afterwards learned was owned by the Lake Zurich garage, »had no lights and was stalled with tire trouble. It vras then too lata for Mr. Schaefer to stop his car and he barely had time to turn his wheel to miss the truck but which sent his car reeling into the ditch.

However, on the return trip "Zeke" picked up the ball and sank another two points for the M. A. A. C. The "Busy Bee" were so upset over this they took time out to discuss a plan of action.

She was rescued through a window, also. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Herzog, who were at the scene of the accident,' took them to the office of a Wauconda physician, where their woujids were dressed and where they partially recovered from the shock.

Added to this a free throw by Zeke completed the scoring of the McHenry crew for the second period. Crystal Lake took time out, decided upon a drastic plan of battle and came back in and made three points by depositing a field goal and one free throw. As the second quarter ended McHenry led the score 28 to 6 on the Busy Bees' side. After refreshing themselves in the rest period between halves the M. A. A.
