H. J. Schnaitman is vice-presidant 'of the, company and manager of the local plant, and has been associated with the business since he was fifteen ^years old* when he first learned the trade- He was last with the United Stjaten Brewing company of Chicagofox seventeen years, where his father ted been for thirty-five years. Mr. Schnaitman and his family have lived in the Sohm house, east of the flyer, sin^e last summer and he has two children, one attending high school, and one in gTade school. • /Andrew Jesacher, principal f owner and supervising brewmaster, has spent a lifetime in the business and ib also associated with the Atlantic Brewing company in Chicago. Robert Reno, in the office, has been here for somta time and plans to bring his family here this spring, which applies also to Carl Muller, the assistant brewmaster,, Herman Moerke, secretary and treacarer of the company, is in the browing material supply business in Ctekagfe and wHI see-to it-tint-only .the best is used when it comes to blowing materials. Patsy Boley of McHenry, also employed at the brewery, comes from a family of brewers and Inherits his father's knowledge of making good beer. ; Gire« Employment The company will employ several local people and intends to take on help a? business increases. Among those already employed are John E. Freund, who will be a representative of the company, Leo Heimer, Will Heimer and Tony Blake. The company expects to have representation in Chicago, Elgin, WaukegaB, Kenosha and Rockford in addition to local territory. "You Will Like McHenry Lager Befcf," is the slogan which has been adopted by the company and the manager's statement regarding the quality of the beer has already been proven by the opinions of local experts who have managed somehow to obtain'a sample. , Plant Improved Work on the improvement of the plant was commenced last summer as a result of which this city now has a modernized plant with a doubled capacity. From the days of the old brew kettle to the present day, many changes have taken place and today steel storag » tanks will hold the brew and a modern cooling system will run right and day. The, company is especially pleased with the wonderful qualities of the brewing water which is supplied from the same well used at the brewery for two generations and which will add greatly to the quality of the finished product. A new well has been drilled, however, with Mr. Huemann of Johnsburg doing the work and going to a depth of 126 feet. A new pump has hews installed which delivers 120 gallons per minute. The plant will produce about seventy- five barrels of, beer per day, the quality of which will be comparable with the finest beer the market affords and will be sold at popular prices. Only draught beer will be put out at first bat it is expected that bottied beer will be had -in five or six weeks. '•'I. Founded in the Civil War days, the McHenry brewery is the oldest and only brewery making beer in Northern Illinois and the company hopes to serve this community and serve it well. It has always enjoyed a reputation for good beer and will endeavor to Maintain its reputation. Many requests have been received to 4ate for the first barrel of beer frorf the brewery, but it remains to be iwen who the lucky one will be. Invitations are being sent to local business men to inspect the brewery on March 21, the day before delivei*ies will be commenced, when McHenry will again have a brewery as it did seventy-five years ago. It is expected that this new business undertaki "g will bring employment to several in MicHenry and be an advantage to the city in many W»KB..

She lived here with her parents while she was studying law and has been practicing law in Chicago since October, 1911. The following article from the Chicago I>aily Tribune of last Friday, gives the details of the appointment of Miss Kelley: For the first time in the sixty year history of the Cook county Probate court a woman has been appointed an assistant to the probate judge. She is Miss Phyllis M. Kelley, 46 years old, who has been practicing law in Chicago since October, 1911. She will take her oath of office from Probate Clerk Mitchell C. Robin today and begin her duties immediately. Miss Kelley's appointment was approved by the county commissioners and by a number of judges of both the Circuit and Superior courts. The county board adopted a special appropriation for her salary and for the pay roll of a staff of twenty Public Works Administration employes who will work under her direction. 18.000 Will Cases Waiting Miss Kelley has been assigned to the special job of terminating the probation of some 18,000 to 20,000 wills which have been" accumulating in the court's files for the last seven years. Most of these cases involve small es- The Athletic banquet will be held this Thursday evening at the high School with several guests in attendance. The dinner will be served by Miss Lucil'e Grant and her cooking classes and music will be furnished by the high school o*v.hestra. Members of Grant nigh school wiH visit the local high school and put on a one-act play. These are bus'y days at the local high school with new activities everyweek keeping alive the interest and enthusiasm,jof the students. With the basketball tournament at Crystal Lake now a thing of the past, another strenuous basketbaU season has come to a close, but there are new activities ahead with commencement drawing near for which plans will soota be made. Then the're are the third quarter exams which are not so far awav and the Senior cla^s play to take place on April 13. ' ' • The! class 'play,' 'The Valley of Ghosts," promises to be something new this year with its mystery story and partly colored cart. We will hear more of this novel play next week, when perhaps, the personnel of the cast will be disclosed. Evidently the Seniors are not superstitious for they have chosen the date of Friday, April 13, when the play will be given. The high school building appears especially attractive since the recent work just completed under the CWA plan, with six men having been employed during the entire period. Among the improvements made are the d^orati ng of five rooms and painting of the floors ih nine rooms and two halls. Then in the basement the windows have been puttied and the sills regained and varnished and fifteen lockers reconditioned. The walls of the auditorium were washed, as were also the walls of four rooms and a hall and seven rooms have had the border, or lower part of the wall, painted. Seven windows and a door were reconditioned and in four rooms and hall the woodwork has been varnished. In addition to this, 200 side-arm chairs and ten laboratory tables have been reconditioned, which consists of sanding down, staining and varnishing. The high school building is now in fine shape and its clean, fresh appearance is most pleasing to an observer. Nick Miller, under the CWS program, has charge of the adult gym work in McHenry, and many of the local young men who are not employed, enjoy their athletic work at the high school gym with him. The athletic program is in progress at the high school on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons and has been under wav for almost two months. •"a# CITY WILL REMAIN ON DAYLIGHT TIME JUDGES AND CLERKS ARE NAMED CWA Wedding in Military Style r. S. MILK CZAR SETS FEBRUARY PRICE The prices which the Agricultural Adjustment administration will require all milk distributors in the Chicago area to pay dairy farmers for milk delivered during February were ^ announced Saturday night by Frank tates whichlhouldf have' WnTlosed !

"My job will benefit the widows and heirs whose property is tied up in the courts," Miss Kelley said. "It will provide immediate payment of debts owed to small creditors who perhaps do not know how to press their claims, and it will t>rihg into the county coffers a largelamount of fees which are paid when estates are fully probated. "Most of it probably will aid the widows and heirs whose property has remained in the hands of administrators. In literally thousands of these smaller estates the widows and heirs did not. know how to get their bequests. "The staff of PWA workers has been digging into the files at night for a week now and I will send out notices to administrators and lawyers tomorrow. They will be ordered to come before me and show cause why the estates in which their interests are involved should not be closed. A calendar will be made up immediately and I will be in full stride within a week." Long Experience in Court Miss Kelley has had long experience in the Probate court, having served ta> secretary to former Judge Charles S. Cutting at a time when he was on the Cook county Probate bench. She was admitted to the Illinois bar while thus employed. Later she was employed by Judge Cutting in his law firm, Cutting, Moore, and Sidley. Miss Kelley said her appointment "is not political in any^^ense." She said that she had never taken part in "ward politics" and added that she W beeo an independent voter. during the period totaled 42 million quarts, Mr. Baker said. The price to be paid by the dis1- tributors for fluid milk and for milk used for cream from Feb. 5 to 28, inclusive, is set at $1.57 a hundred pounds (3-4 cents a quart) and applies to 90 per cent of tihe dairy farmers' ! "base" or quota assigned them by the 'milk administrator. For all milk delivered in excess of this quota the companies must pay 89 cent^ a hundredweight (1.9 cents a quart). For every 46.5 quarts (100 pounds) of milk the farmers delivered to dairies during the February period the government administrator is collecting 1 cent to create a fund to pay for the price fixing efforts. An additional 3 cents per 46.5 quarts is collected from the farmers' checks. Those farmers who are members of the Pure Milk association pay this money to their co-operative for administration costs, testing of their herds and milk, guarantees, and other expenses. A similar amount collected from the nonmembcr farmers is placed in a fund administered by Mr. Baker to give these farmers similar "benefits." PMA members pay still another assessment into a reserve fund for members who lose their Chicago market. The city, board held an adjourned meeting from March 5, Monday evening. The first older of business Was the appointment of judges and clerks for •he comii g election. The first ward judges are Mat Heimer, Mahellc Wheeler. Mrs. James 'Perkins; 'clerks.

' Tl.iid ward judges are Katlrrino •Schneider, William Bishop, Theodore Winko!; clerks, Gertrude Weber, Mrs Arthur Krause, Mrs. Mary Powers. The I'M yor appointed a committer to investigate priccs for street sign"'. No' Vote On Daylight Time On th ^ petition for daylight saving time which was presented at the meeting for March 5, it was decided to withhold the question from the ballot because the petition lacked enough signatures and had not been presented t.o the bt ard early enough to leave the required number of days. Likewise the band petition is being )>eld fron the regular election because of insufficient signer* and pe-' tition was not presented soon enough. Unless special elections are held for these two propositions McHenry will have daylight saving time for the same period as Chicago for the year 1934 ani there will be no funds appropriated for the land. Retrardlntft, the water sales tax the clerk was ordered to write to Represent ativ > Thomas A. Bolger, William Carroll and Richard Lyons and to Senator Ray Paddock, requesting them to support the municipal league bill to abolish the two per cent sales tax on municipal water and electric systems. Clarence Niesen was present and requested a license for beer for the dance pavilion for the summer season. After much discussion it was regularly moved by Wattles, seconded by Overton, and passed by the board, that Niesen he granted a license for $100 for the season for beer only and only to be served on regular dance nights.

He is expected hon^ ^ %4 jfef ^ day 'vacation*. ' ' * ,' ' Walter Carey arrived home Saturday fr^m a trip via the Greyhound bus line to Tucson, Ariz., where he spent about two weeks with his wife before going on to California and the west coa.«t, returning to Tucson before making the trip home. Leaving here with his little son, Dick, on Tuesday noon he arrived at Tucson Saturday morning, riding day and night with four changes made in busses while the drivers work only in eight-hour shifts. Tho busses stop about every 100 miles with a few minutes time allowed for passengers to leave the bus if they wish. On his return trip, Mr. Carey stopped at places of interest over night. As he went farther south there was evidence that bus traffic became more popular and there were many large bus terminals far superior to railway stations. After reachiag Tucson via St. Louis, Dallas and El Paso, where the temperature is now 90 degrees above, Mr. Carey went on to California, where he visited Catalina Islands and other places of interest. At Pasadena he saw the White Sox in their winter practice and at San Dieg'o he toured the battleships and destroyeis and saw the beautiful Pan- American exposition buildings which are now being remodeled. At Hollywood the homes of Greta Garbo, Marion Davies, Douglas Fairbanks ard other movie stars were most interesting, with a visit paid tr the wonderful 600-acre ranch of. Will Rogers, where private polo fields were only a small part of the grandeur and luxuries far beyond words to describe A trio was also made into Mexicc and a visit to the races at Tiajuann. with many other visits of interest making the trip a memorable one. Friends here will be glad to hear that Mrs Carey, who, with her twe children, remained at Tucson, is feeling fine and likes her surrounding" better as she becomes acquainted. DRUGGISTS ORGANIZE TTie druggists o* the county have formed a temporary organization with officers elected as follows: President, Oscar Althafer, Crystal Lake: secretary, James Davidson, Harvard. There will be a meeting at Justen's hotel on March 21, when plans for a permanent organization will be completed. V The ttifeo aldermen of MeHenry who&e terms expire this spring will be candidates for re-election at the coming municipal election on April 17, acroming to petitions filed with Peter A. Neiss, city clerk. Tuesday, March 18, was the last day for the" filing of petitions of candidates. R. I. Overton is seeking re-election as alderman in the first ward, Frank Wattles in the second ward and Albert Barbian in the third ward. The only contest scheduled for the usually lively city election this year will be for the office of police magistrate. George Bohr will be a candidate for re-election and Wm. Bickler has also filed as a candidate for this office. To §erve But One Year Aldermen elected this year will serve for one year under the terms of a law enacted by the general assembly of 1933. Beginning a year from this ensuing April, aldermen will be elected for a period of two years and city elections will be held only on the odd yearSk The election next year will, no doubt, be an interesting event with the entire personnel of the city council up for election. The probable reason for the new state law is that of economy and the desire t^ do away with the expense of holding city elections every year. One disadvantage which Tias been pointed out is that every official of the city will have completed his term of office at the same time. It is not improbable to assume that at some time when an important municipal i-sue tnay arise, an entirely new slate of aldermen and officials might be elected, leaving no official with previous experience in handling city affairs. The petition presented by the objectors to daylight saving time was not received by the city council in time to have the question appear on the ballot at the coming election. The question oil the municipal band will not appear on the ballot for the same reason. RIVERVIEW CAMP IS 23 YEARS OLD 11 CHARTER MEMBERS AT PARTY Anniversaries are usually observed to commemorate an important event or occasion. Successful organizations of persons united in a common cause or project recognize each returning date of the founding of their association as a memorable period in its history. So it is with the organization of women now known in everv state of the union as the Royal Neighbors of America. In addition to the thii cy-ninth anniversary of the organization as an insurance agency which is celebrated this month, Riverview camp of McHenry celebrated its twenty-third anriversary on Tuesday evening, Marcn 13.

The license fee of S76 for taverns and $23 for sale of bottle beer only for the county outside corporate limits is much lower than the average in the cities and village^ wnere license fees have been fixed. Woodstock, Harvard and Marengo have set top prices at $300 per year. MRS. FRANK SULLIVAN DIES AT RIVER FOREST Mrs. Frank Sullivan, 38 years old, died at her home at River Forest at 5 p. m., Sunday.
