This K and all the nearby VnJshould be a warning to others who Buy Eleven Lots on fox BStw South of This Village--Scientists Make Wondeiful Diswrary Coming without solicitation and without asking a bonus, a $260,000 corporation is about to locate in our midst. There are no ifs nor ands about it, as the property on which the new comers are to locate has all been bought up and contracts for buildings have already been Jet. Some time ago tfie report was circulated about the village that some corporation had purchased river lots near this village and ever since that time hundreds of guesses have been made as to who the buyer* were and what their business was. Thru the courtesy of the general manager of the concern, The Plaindealer is this week able to give its readers something definite regarding the corporation which has picked McHenry as its site for operations. Officials of the corporation first came to McHenry several weeks ago and their negotiations finally resulted in the purchase of eleven lots on the east bank of Fox river, about onehalf mile south of the Fox river bridge, the lots giving them 550 feet of river front; The purpose of the corporation is to carry on scientific work along biological lines and to commercialize some remarkable discoveries made by L. Place Bostwick. H. F. Albers, Minneapolis, Minn., is the president of the corporation, who needs no introduction to the big business men, as he is known from New York to San Francisco. F. B. Bennett of Woodstock, who is also well known thruout the entire county, will act as council for the corporation. T. B. Place of Seattle, Wash., another member of the corporation, has spent most of his life in the West, Mexico and Alaska; has interests in oil, copper, etc. He has also done large engineering work iq Alaska and elsewhere. L. Place Bostwick, who will act as general manager, came here from Iowa City, la. He is a nephew of Mr. Place. Mr. Bostwick was formerly a dealer in pearls and stones. For some years past he has been doing scientific research work, with the result that some of his discoveries are considered remarkable by those who know of his work. Messrs. Place and Bostwick now own a beautiful home in Iowa City, which they have leased to a university fraternity, and have come to make McHenry their home. J. P. Weber of this village has just been awarded the contract for the building of a scientific laboratory, a residence for the manager and another house for his assistant. Work on this contract, according to Mr. Bostwick, will begin within a week and Mr. Weber will rush the work with all possible speed. A Chicago contractor, Taylor by name, is now getting the material together for a 400-foot seawall to be constructed. There is also to be considerable excavating done along the shore and the whole job will call for an expenditure of between $8,000 and $9,000. The site chosen for the location of our new enterprise is one of the most desirable along the east shore of the Fox south of the river bridge and it is needless to say that the members of the corporation are anxious to get located. Mr. and Mrs. Bostwick as well as Mr. Place have been in McHenry for some time past. They speak very highly of the beauties of Fox river and this particular region and also have been heard to speak with high regards of our people in general. As stated above, the corporation comes to McHenry unexpectedly without costing our people one penny and all the members ask of us is our good will and moral support, and The Plaindealer assures the new comers that the citizens of the entire community extend to them a hearty wel come and their best wishes for saccess. - WP Sff*-' • « • r\<f . - ^ " . *"*. •irf'TlTfl llvIK VA The Ladies' Cemetery AM society will meet with Mrs. T.

McCABE President of De Paul UniveaiN$ to Be Here Sunday Afternoaki '• i \ " Oh Sunday afternoon at 5:^0 the Very Reverend F. X. McCabe, president of De Paul University and one of the national vice presidents of the Friends of- Irish Freedom, will give a stirring lecture on Ireland's Right to National Independence. He comes under the auspices of the Roger Casement branch of the F. O. I. F., recently organized in McHenry, and comes in the interest of the Irish freedom fund, which is being raised thruout the United States for the purpose of presenting the Irish cause to the people of America and to secure for Ireland her unassailable rights among the nations of the world. The lecturer is known as one of the ablest defenders of the Irish cause and one of the most eloquent of the many Americans now presenting this great cause to the people of the United States. That a man of the national prominence of Father McCabe should appear in McHenry is matter of great pride to the community and already there is assurance that the beautiful new theatre, which has been secured for the event, will be filled to capacity. There will be no admission charge, as the purpose is to bring to the attention of the people the vital interests not alone of Ireland, but of America, both of which are endangered by threatened defeat of America's high aim in the world war just ended.

Mr. Schmitt also wishes to make it known that the ladies of McHenry and vicinity are also to be considered and he will be pleased to set aside afternoon and evening of each week for their exclusive use of the alleys. Chicago today has over 600 ladies' bowling teams and these women have found bowling to be a most healthful recreation. The alleys may also be chartered by private parties. As a sort of an inducement to local bowlers, the proprietor is offering a most interesting book, dealing with the late war, to the person making the highest individual score on the opening day, July !• School Children Score Hit Hie annual commencement exercises and school entertainment by St. Mary's parochial school at the Central opera house on Monday evening proved delightful to the big audience present. Every number on the evening's program was very capably presented, while the two comedies made a big hit. The little folks' costumes and make-ups added greatly to the scenes and each com edy received a hearty applause. The eighth grade graduates were given their diplomas by Rev. Edward Berthold, who also made a few fitting remarks after presenting same. Once more are the sisters of St. Mary s and their pupils to be commended for the pleasant evening afforded us. Thrown Fran Load of Hay While hauling hay on one of the Sayer farm east of this village last Friday, Hubert Caspars met with a very painful accident, which will lay him up for some time. In some manner the hay fork caught in his clothing and before he was able to extricate himself the fork and picked him up and allowed him to fall to the hard ground beneath.' Dr. D. G.

Speaking, Gaines, AanMratettfa and Dancing la Afternoon--Valuable Prizes to Be Given Plans for McHenry's big Fourth of July celebration and home-coihing For McHenry township soldiers are rapidly reaching a stage of perfection and from all indications this village, with favorable weather conditions, will entertain ah immense crowd on that day. The Para4£ 1 The parade gives promise of being the biggest ever attempted and the committee in charge is asking every business enterprise as well as all societies and lodges in the villaige to take part in this and thus assist in bringing the hopes of the comthittee to a reality. While the business men are asked to be represented with floats, this is not compulsory especially with the lodges and societies, who may appear as they wish. According to present plans three cash prizes will be awarded for the three best floats to participate in the parade, which will be formed at the village park promptly at ten o'clock ih the morning. The parade will thence proceed over to the West Side and back. The various committees, acting upon the wishes of the people, are asking that all returned soldiers take an active part in the parade, rtiarchtng in a body. It isn't necessary for these young men to appiear in their uniforms and the suggestion has been made that they dress to suit themselves. The parade will be headed by the marshal of the day and the McHenry military band. Every society, lodge and business house in town are urged to get busy at once planning and fitting up a float for the parade, as the prizes to be awarded will be well worth going after. Hie Speaker of Elgin Judge Frank E. Shopen of Elgin, considered one of the best orators in this part of the state, has been en gaged as the speaker of the day and he will address the gathering from the band stand at the village park at 1:30 p. m. Plenty of seats will be provided, thus assuring comfort to Spbrts Una tticea Sports, games and races Of ah kinds will follow the speaking. M. A. Thelen, who has charge of these events, informs The Plaindealer that he is arranging for an excellent afternoon's program in this line. Cash prizes will be given to all winners of the various events, which will continue thruout the greater part of the afternoon. Open Air Dancing Open air dancing on a large pa vilion, which is to be erected in the south end of the park, will take place during the entire afternoon and evening, with an excellent six piece orchestra furnishing the music. Band Concerts Tfee McHenry military band, which has also been engaged for the occasion, will give concerts during the entire afternoon and evening, which should be an enjoyable feature for both young and old. Dinner at Noon At the noon hour a sumptuous dinner, with all the palatable dishes of the season, will be served. This dinner will be FREE to boys who have been in the service, both in this country and France. Others who wish to be served will be charged the regular prices. The dinner will be served on long tables to be erected in the park. Refreshment Stands Several refreshment stands wi also be erected in the park, which will be placed in charge of the young ladies and men of the village Amusements A merry-go-round and other sorts of amusements for young and old will also be provided, thus giving every one an opportunity to enjoy, the day to the fullest extent. Tickets to Be Uan^' Every soldier of the township will be provided with an identification ticket or card, which upon presenta tion, will entitle him to anything on the grounds, including dipner, danc ing, refreshments (all he cares to eat and drink), shows and other at tractions. As the day is set aside for the entertainment of the boys, this ticket will be issued to them absolutely free of charge. Now don't be bashful, soldiers of McHenry township, step right up, as it will be a pleasure indeed for the committee in charge to supply you with one of these cards. Hie Decorations Smith Bros., the Centerville merchants, who have so kindly volun teered to send for the decorations and who propose to sell them to McHenry people at cost, are expecting their big supply to arrive today or tomorrow and it is the sincere hope of the committee that every business house and residence in the village will be decorated on that day. Better step in at Smith Bros, right now A' Tate afternoon wedding, in #fiich Miss Margaret; Weber of this village and Mr. Herbert Simon of Chicago were the principals, took place at St. Mail's Catholic church here at 4:00 o'dock yesterday afternoon. The ceremony, «• which was performed by Rev. Edward . Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's, was attended by immediate relatfves of the pair and a few friends. The bride wore a dress of blue charmeuse and georgette erep with hat to match and a corsage bouquet of sweet peas. Miss Barbara Web er, a sister, who acted as bridesmaid, was also dressed in blue charmeuse and georgette with a pink hat and wore a corsage bouquet of sweet peas. The groom was attended by his brother, Joseph Simon, of Chicago. The bride of the happy occasion is the fourth youngest daughter of Mr. Nicholas Weber, who resides on the Pistakee Bay road, a short distance from this village. Here she was born and has always made her home, altho for a number of years she has been employed in town. Blessed with happy disposition, she has made many friends and among our people general , she is held in the very highest esteem. The groom is Hie son of Mrs. Susan Simon of Chicago, who for the past few years has been empldyed farms in this locailty. He returned only recently from overseas service and since that lime has been with his mother in Chicago, where he is now employed. During his stay in this community he proved himself an industrious as well as respected young man and thru these characteristics he leaves many friends here. A reception was tendered the couple at the home of the bride's father immediately after the wedding. They are spending the remainder of the week here and expect to leave for Chicago next Saturday, where they will go to housekeeping, and where the best wishes of their friends will accompany them.
