The much beloved judge of the circuit court has sent out an appeal to the good people of this county, asking each and every one to do his or her full share Sn this most worthy eause. "The Jews of this country have certainly contributed their full portion towards all war and relief funds for the last four years and now | that millions of their people are starving it is up to us to reciprocate both prompfly and generously" is the appeal sent out by ttye honored judge. Julius Rosenwald, one of the Chi cago secretaries, makes his appeal as follows: "It iS a matter of life or dfath for millions who are today starving in the regions' devastated during the war. For almost a year, pitiful faces have been turned toward Amer ica, wistfully waiting for food. The signing of the armistice silenced the guns, but has npt qwlled the pangs of starvation. "More than six million Jews are suffering today as a people never suffered before. In Poland alone there are eight hundred thousand children who will die this winter if their con dition is not relieved. They are hun gry and homeless, sleeping in the streets, shivering with the cold. "Up to this time the Jews of America have among themselves collected $25,000,000, all of which has been wisely and carefully distributed abroad, as Evidenced by a recent let ter from Herbert Hoover. Thirty-five million dollars are now needed to carry on the necessary relief work. The organization of committees and the solicitation of funds have been placed on a non-sectarian basis, tho great majority of the people assisted are Jews." TWO YAHKS TAKi BRIBES ROBERT E.

StoCel's Misnes Edna Mary Phalin aad Gertrude Freund Are Happy ltrhke Weddings Held Hete A wedding of more than pinginc interest took place at St. Patrick's Catholic church in this village at nine o'clock last Saturday morning, when two of our most popular rural young people were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of the chiuqch, the principals of this unusually happy event being Miss Edna Mary Phalin and Mr. Robert Emmet Knox. Tho ceremony was p very pretty one and was witnessed by a large gathering of relatives and friends of the pair. The couple had as their attendants Miss Eleanor E. Phalin, sister to the bride, and Edwin Knox, brother to the groom. The bride wore a peach bloom (reindeer shade) suit and brown hat and carried an arm bouquet of white roses and ferns. The bridesmaid wore a Bison velour suit and brown hat and carried arm bouquet of sunset roses and ferns. At the close of the ceremony at the church, after receiving the congratu lations of their many admirers, the bridal party, together .with forty-five near relatives, gathered at the home of the bride's parents south of this village, where a wedding breakfast was served. The tables, tastefully arranged, were prettily decorated with yellow chrysanthemums and ferns. The balance of the day was passed in a social maqper by the in vited guests. The newly weds stole away during the early evening and left on a short wedding trip, after which they will be at home to their friends in the new farm home that is now under course of construction on the farm owned by the groom's father and lo cated on the Barreville road south of this village. The bride of this happy union is considered One of our most popular young rural residents and has always been held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends residing in the neighborhood as well as in this village. She possesses that cheerful but modest disposition tljat one cannot help but admire She is the sec ond daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Phalin, who reside on and own beautiful Maple Lawn farm, situated south of this village, on the Terra Cotta road. The groom is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Knox, whose large dairy farm is located about a mile south of the village limits. Like the young woman whom he has just made his life companion, he enjoys large circle of friends. He is a product of the McHenry high school, having graduated with the class of 11. During his school days he developed into as good an athlete as the school has ever turned out, being a fine baseball as well as basket ball player. Since finishing school he has taken a couple of short courses in agriculture at the State University and also tendered his services to his country during the late war, having been stationed at Camp Grant during most of the time that he was enrolled in the army. Mr. Knox is thoroly familiar with every detail connected with farm work and the scientific knowledge of agriculture obtained at the university will also be of great assistance to him when he and his bride take up their home. The new home on the place should be ready for occupancy in about a month, when they will go to housekeeping and will be ready to receive their friends. The Plaindealer joins their large circle of friends in extending heartiest congratulations. AN OLD RESIDENT GONE <4rs. Mary McLaughlin Wai la Ireland In IMS An old knd highly respected rew dent of McHenry, in the person of Mrs. Mary McLaughlin, passed into eternity on Wednesday «*raing, Oct 15. >' Mary Doyle," born at Callan county, Kilkenny, Ireland, landed in Chicago in 1855 *and was soon maqped to Thos. McLaughlin in St. Patrick's church on the West Side. Their reunion was a happy one. Life in Chicago did not appeal to the young couple and they soon moved to the vicinity of McHenry. The announcement of her death on Thursday morning last brought to many minds the thought--Another pioneer taken from our midst, an-1 PARENT TEACIERP ASSR. HELD INTEREST MEETING ON TUESDAY EVENING Parents Assure School Faculty Cooperation-- Basket Social to Be Given to Raise Funds The Parent-Teachers' association met at the school auditorium on Tuesday evening of this week and was attended by a large gathering of parents and patfons as well as the school faculty and student body. The meeting was opened with a welcome for our new superintendent, Prof. O. G. Treadway, and Miss Lena Hartman, successor to Mrs. R. T. Wray, who resigned her position as eighth grade instructor this year. All other teachers on the staff, having been of , oravely on thru the year now before us. The president, early years of her existence when every life was a life of sacrifice The greatest blow of her life fell upon Mrs. McLaughlin when her husband was called , by death forty years ago, leaving her with a family of eight, the youngest of whom was only three months old. She often referred to those early years of her widowed life with a whimsical smile, as tho recalling the dar^ days, and how with the help of her faith she had seen them end. Mrs. McLaughlin was seriously stricken some months ago and has since been surrounded by the most loving and unstinted care. Her last years were blest by peculiar peace and content due to the loving care of her sons and daughters. There are left to mourn Jas. R. of Chicago, John F. of Ringwood, Wm H. of Dows, la., Thos. and Kate of McHenry and Mrs. Otis Murray of Geheva, 111. Two children died in infancy and two more, Mrs. Wm Doherty and Richard McLaughlin, passed to eternal life in mature years. There are also twelve grand children and eight great-grandchil dren. Her four sons and two son in-laws acted as her pall bearers. The friends who gathered to give the last token of affection and re spect filled St. Patrick's church on Saturday morning, when the funeral took place. Solemn requiem mass was sung by Rev. Fr. Kilderry of Cary, with Rev. D, Lehane of Batavia as deacon and Rev. E. McCormick of Barring ton as sub-deacon and Rev. J. J Laffey, chaplain of Moraehart, 111., master of ceremonies. Rev. M. J McEvoy assisted in the sanctuary The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. D. Lehane, who pointed out the great blessings and help that were given the deceased by the practical and effective acceptance of the teach ings of Christ Her gentle ways and unexpected sallies will be missed by her friends As a Catholic Mrs. McLaughlin had special love for the rosary, which was ever one of her favorite devotions, and it seems fitting that she should be called to her eternal home during the month of the rosary. As her remains were laid to rest in God's acres adjoining the church in which she had worshipped for three score years, again the thought-- Another soldier mother who crossed the seas, not to win victories on the battle fields of France, but to win her daily victories in the wilderness of a new and strange land, with duty and simple trust in he/ Maker ever cheering her on. Such was her life! A noble life, but written not In any book of fame, Among the list of noted ones None ever saw her' name. For none but her own household knew The victories she had won, And none but they could testify How well her work was done." May her kindly soul rest in peace. Just Us club dance at hall next Saturday evening. Schumacher-Freiuid , k Miss Gertrude Freund, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Freund, who reside east of this village, and Mr. Paul J.

Edward Berthold, pastor of the church, performing the impressive ceremony. Miss Margaret Ft-eund, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, while the groom had as his attendant Wm. J. Althoff, an intimate friend. The bride and bridesmaid were troth attired in blue suits and wore hats to match and both wore corsage bouquets of roses. A reception at the home' of the bride's parents followed the ceremony at the church, a large number of invited relatives and friends gathering to make the occasion a joyous onO. • The happy pair were the recipients of many gifts, bestowed upon them by the guests who had come to pass the day with them.

While the changes have caused more or less confusion, the manufacture of these instruments is fast becoming system ized and within the course of the next month the factory should present a real busy appearance. New hands are being taken on right ong. Among the . newcomers this week is John W. Fay, who will act the capacity of soling agent. Mr. Fay has had more or less experience in the selling Held and, while the phonograph business is practically new to him, he is now at the factory acquainting himself with the business from the ground up and we predict that he will make a good salesman for the company. ' Big Hallowe'en Event A big HalloWe'en event will be held at St. Mary's parish hall, in the basement of the church, on Friday evening of next week, Oct 31. It will be even more spooky and interesting, the young ladies say, than the one held a few- years ago. An evening of fun and surprises is in store for the young people. Mrs. Jack Walsh, voicing the senti ment of the parents, assured them of closer co-operation to «i*k<> the year before us possible,for a greater work. Music was the first number on the program, after which Prof. Treadway addressed the assembly upon the •dv.nu*. o, . patron-teachers' ciation in the community, giving out' knowledge wherein the parents' help SEWERAGE ASSURED Work fe • Expected to Begin Early Next Spring McHenry is to have an up-to-date system of sewerage. This news was made known following the meeting of the board of local improvements held on Tuesday evening of this week. Altho actual work on the construotion of the system will not begin un til early spring, there is plenty of work ahebd for the local board and their attorney, A. H. Pouse. First, as in all improvements this sort, there are the technical points to be disposed of, then will come the advertising for bids, and last, but not least, the letting'of the contract. This preliminary work, it is expected, will take up the greater part of the winter months. The board of local improvements is very anxious to have all of this work cleaned up so that actual work of construction may begin bright and early next spring, when the work will be rushed with all possible speed. Since the public hearing of a week ago, at which time the true facts were brought out and it became known that the improvement would is needed, little known by the patrons of the school. A vocal solo by ^ Miss Blanche Meyers, "Deep River," by Burley, was a most creditable number on the program. Miss Catherine Walsh gave a reel tation, entitled "When Company Comes," after which Glenn Peterson delighted the audience with a piano selection, and had to respond to continued applause with another equally appropriato.* The community sing closed# the evening's program. An order of business brought out the fact that any organization must have a contingency fund, so it Was decided to give a box social in the school auditorium Tuesday evening, Nov. If}, to which everybody is cor dially invited. Details will be puis lished later, when the committee arrangements are completed. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream and wafers were served in the upper rooms and parents were ushered there to enjoy a social hour be fore the close of the first meeting, which was thoroly enjoyed by all present. The next meeting Will be held the first Wednesday evening of No vember, when the matter of fixing regular meeting night will be r^-con sidered. Parents, let mi make these meetings full of hfstp for the teachers Any organization is as useful and helpful as the members make it. Get the community spirit and attend regularly. Just Us Club Dance With favorable weather conditions Stoffel's hall will be the scene of one of the most enjoyable dancing parties held therein in a long time, when the Just Us club of this village will con duct one of its popular dances there next Saturday evening, Oct 26. The young ladies, who have long since gained an indisputable reputation as entertainers, have left nothing un done that will go to make the com ing event a huge success. Cope Harvey's jazz orchestra of 4 pieces will furnish the music.

Edward Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church here, attended the reception given in honor of His Eminence Desideratus Cardinal Mercier of Belgian at the Auditorium theatre in Chicago on Tues day evening of tHis week. The McHenry pastor was among the thous and or more who were seated on the fage of Chicago's big auditorium The reception was the biggest event if the kind that Chicago hm ever witnessed. Colonel Perry He** Colonel and Mrs. Howard R. Perry and their, eldest daughter, Gertrude, were week end guests of the colonel's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James B. Perry. Colonel Perry is now stationed at Davenport, la., where he is charge of the army recruiting office. Lieutenant Howard R.

His many friends are glad to see him out and trust that he will soon be able to resume his duties at the office. New ideas in hats for mid-winter wear. West Side Millinery Parlors. much as they had contemplated, the feeling against the improvement has subsided to a marked degree and from the,, change of heart that has overcome many of those who were previously opposed to the improvement The Plaindealer now feels that the board will have the co-operation of these people. \ The Plaindealer is indeed pleased to note the changing spirit of our people and from now it should be the motto of each and everyone of our citizens, "For a bigger and better McHenry." Every improvement that is brought into any municipality adds just that much value to that particular city or town and who knows but what this improvement will mean the making of McHenry? Let's all hope that it will. Another point that should be into consideration at thiB time is -the state aid road, which is sure to pass thru this village within the course of the next few years, possibly within the next year or two. As the state builds its road thru all municipalities having a population of less than 2,500, this will mean a saving in permanent road construction of at least $30,000 to our village, an item which should not be overlooked. Our understanding is that the state will hot build thru incorporated villages where all of the underground improvements have not been put in. Thus it will be seen that even tho the permanent road comes this way, without sewerage the stretch thru the village would not be constructed, and when once the road has passed thru such a municipality it would indeed be a difficult proposition to get the state to come back a second time to put in this improvement for us. This fact as well as the general good that it is going to do the village were thoroly considered by the board of local improvements before bringing the sewerage question before the minds of our voters and looking the question squarely in the face we believe that it will be serving the best interests of the village to have the improvement. The payments on the improvement will be extended over a period of ten years, which will make it so much easier for those who cannot afford to pay at once. This seems to be a period of advancement and wherever one looks he finds cities, villages and even hamlets keeping pace with the spirit of the times and that McHenry will not prove an exception to this rule has now been assured. Once more we ask that all of our citizens give the members of the board of local improvements as well as our village board their co-operation in their endeavors FOR A BIGGER AND BETTER McHENRY. t- The Salvation Army Drive Altho McHenry township fell a trifle short of making her quota on the recent drive to secure funds for the Sanation Army, she, like in all previous drives, made a very creditable showing and people residing in the township as well as those who had charge of soliciting of the funds are once more to be congratulated upon the showing made. Atty. A. H. Pouse, who acted as chairman of this township, as well as the various solicitors did everything within their power to bring the township abreast of other localities and that they were successful in their endeavors to do this no one can deny. Thus our township has again demonstrated her charitable heart towards cause which is worthy of oar efforts. M. E.
