At the weekly meetings of the various committees, men's and ladies', forces are being organized that will, no doubt, put plenty of life and pep into the bazaar. The bacon, hams, turkeys, geese, roosters, rabbits and pigs, which are coming in fast, give a hint that there will be something doing. Besides a few interesting raffles, we learn that there will be two lively contests. One for the most popular young lady, who will be presented with a fine pearl n&klace valued at $10. Another contest will determine '*4iich young man will get the pig. Any young lady or gentleman, regardless of where he or she may reside, may enter these contests. The victors will be decided, so we are told, by a poll of votes, which will be sold at five cents each. Farmers are also becoming interested in the offer of $5.00 in gold for the best bushel of ear corn donated to the bazaar. The various floor committees have been selected with Wm. Smith treasurer and John Schrauth, secretary. Mrs. J. C. Bickler is president and head of the women's committees, who are now soliciting for fancy work and anything useful or eatable. The church hall, in the basement of St. Mary's church, has been decided upon as the place for the big event and it seems that the choice was a very good one, for the hall, altho limited, will be found cozy and warm as well as economical. The dates of the bazaar are Dec. 14, 16 and 18. , Public Invitation St. Mary's bazaar committees take great pleasure in announcing that they cordially invite everybody without exception to give some useful article to the fall festival. It may be impossible to reach everybody, but they feel eager to invite all to participate in this event regardless of parish and creed.

Advertise with The Plnindea]|^; State Will Build Cement Highway Thru MeHenry--Will Also Rebuild Bridges Where Necessary Thru the courtesy of Simon Stoffel, who is ever elert to acquaint himself with the things that concern our people and village, we are this week reproducing two letters received by him from the department of public works and buildings at Springfield in answer to letters of inquiry sent to the department by our progressive townsman. * The letters of inquiry appertained to the building of the 6tate road and bridges between Waukegan and Woodstock and, according to the two letters in question, it looks very much at this time as if said highway will be constructed next year, altho, as will be noted by the letter which appears below, nothing definite has as yet been decided upon. - TTie two letters follow: October 27, ttlf. Mr. Simon StofTel, West MeHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir--I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of October 24. The final location of bond issue route No. 5 has not as yet been determined. In regard to building thru villages I beg to advise that the law provides that construction shall be carried on thru villages of 2,500 and less inhabitants. That means where a bond issue road is contracted thru a town it will be built of the same type and width as it is outside of the town limits. If a city desires that the pavement shall be wider than as designed by this department the construction eft such additional width must be paid for by the city. As stated above, we have not decided the final location; when this is done you will be notified--if not directly, then thru the newspaper in your locality. We will endtavor to place this route under construction next season as a part of our next year's work. Trusting the above will be satis* factory, I beg to remain, --~_-- Very truly yours, - ' ,T Clifford Older, Chief Highway Engineer. * " ! Nov. 16, 1919. Subject: Bond issue route No. 20. Mr. Simon StofTel, West MeHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir--I am in receipt of your letter of November 3 and in reply to your question regarding the bridges which are deemed unsafe, I would state that ordinarily this department in constructing new roads replaces aJJL, such bridges with new structures. Very truly yours, ^ Clifford Older, Chief Highway Engineer. As will be seen by the above, the proposed hard road highway, which passes thru this village, is coming and if not next then surely the following year and MeHenry should, from this time on, try and keep in touch with state officials and men of influence and thru our co-opeartion encourage the state department to an early action on said stretch of road. Lake county, as has been stated in these columns on one or two previous occasions, has assured itself of a system of hard roads at a very early date by voting its own bond issue and as a result of this action considerable hard road has already been constructed in that county, with more to follow early next spring. One of the stretches of road that is now under construction in that county and which will, no doubt, be completed early next summer, is the old plank road between Volo, located six miles east of MeHenry, and Waukegan. With this road under construction and in view of Beeing its completion early next summer, it looks to us as if it would take little effort on the part of MeHenry and Woodstock to see the road continued to our county seat next summer, thus connecting the county seat cities of the two counties. It will be noticed by the letter under date of November 15, that provisions are also made for the building o f bridges wherever necessary and in passing thru this village will mean the construction of two new bridges, one over Boone creek on Green street and the other on West Waukegan street, west of the C. & N. W. railroad tracks. Both of these bridges must be replaced and with the state bearing the expense will mean a big saving to the village. The coming of the road will also mean the widening of Green street across Boone creek and will give that thorofare ' the improvement which has been. so eagerly sought during; the past few years. Services at M. JL Chunk The regular services will be held at the M. EL church next Sunday. Morning service at 11:00 o'clock. The pastor's subject will be "The God of the Universe." Subject at the evening service, "Man-Made Morals." Everybody welcome. Samuel J. Harrison, Pastor. THANKSGIVING WEDDING Popular MeHenry Couple Married at :'-~8t. Mary's CtaKh T life- 'bedding of Dr. Francis J. Aicher and Miss Annabel M. Heimer, both popular young people of this village, took place at St. Mary's Catholic church here on Thanksgiving morning at 8:15 o'clock, Rev. Edw. Berthold officiating ami the church organist playing the wedding march. The bride was gowned in a beautiful suit of gunpowder blue velvet with a hat of gold lace and wore a corsage bouquet of chrysanthemums. She was attended by Miss Edith Riebschlager, a niece of the groom. She was gowned in a navy blue suit of tricotine with hat to match and wore a corsage bouquet of chrysanthemums. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Helena Heimer and has always made MeHenry her home. She attended the schools of this village and for several years has been! employed in our local stores, where, thru her genial disposition, she has won hosts of friends. She is a member of the Young Ladies' sodality of St. Mary's church and a great help in all church activities. The groom was attended by Leo J. Heimer, a brother of the bride. Dr. Aicher is the son of Mrs. Anna Aicher of Washburn, 111. After graduating from Northwestern Dental College of Chicago he came to MeHenry, opening his dental office, and has been a resident for the past six years. He is a young man of high ideals and during his residence here has built up one of th% largest dental practices in the county. This year he was elected grand knight of the local council of Knights of Columbus, which is evidence Of his popularity in lodge circles. After the service at the church a wedding dinner was served to about thirty guests at the home of the bride's mother on Elm street. The young couple motored to Chicago in the afternoon and will be at home to their friends ta» MeHenry after Jan. 1. TOOK MAJOR DEGREE Twenty MeHenry Knights Given Fmirth Degree Sunday Twenty members of the MeHenry council, Knights of Columbus, were in Chicago last Sunday, where they, with a class of 1161, were given the four degree of the order. The occasion was one of the most elaborate ever held in the West and was the second largest, in point of the size of the class, ever put thru at any one time in this country. New York City claims the distinction of having had the largest class, when a few years ago 1500 were given the degree in that city. x The exemplification of the work and the elaborate banquet that followed took place on the seventeenth floor of the Hotel LaSalle. MeHenry had twenty-Bix candidates for the lass, but an eleventh hour notice came to the effect that owing to the lack of room the class had to be cut down, and in conformity with the request six of the MeHenry candidates were left at home These, together with many others from councils all over the northern end of the state, will be given the degree t>n Dec. 14. Those who comprised the MeHenry delegation at last Sunday's initiation were the followmg: P. M. Justen, Frank Justen, Herman Schaefer, Martin J. Weber, Wm. Smith, Gerald Carey, Henry J. Miller, Wm. K. Sutton, TTios. A. Bolger, Chas. W. Gibbs, Chas. Unti, Thos. M. Phalin, John M. Schmitt, C. M. Bickler, Henry M. Schaefer, Jacob Schaefer, Alfo.u Debrecht, Jacob Miller, Anton M.

The chicken pie dinner, which is to be served at 5:00 p. m. and until all are served, will undoubtedly draw a very large crowd, as the Ladies' Aid has a special receipt for good chicken pie. A Larkin booth will also prove an attraction for many. A good musical program has been prepared for the evening. Everybody welcome. Come and bring your friends. Mrs. Bechtel Dead The death of Mrs. Chas. Bechtel occurred at her home in this village Monday afternoon at two o'clock. The deceased has been in very ill health for some months and for the past* six weeks has been confined to her bed. Mrs. Bechtel, altho a resident of MeHenry but for three or four years, has won many friends. The funeral was held this (Thursday) morning from St. Mary's church at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. Edw. Berthold officiating. The family has the sympathy of this community. SEWERAGE IS NOV ASSDRB UTILE OPPOSITION IS HEARD LAST SATURDAY James Street Is Chief Topic of DiseUsekai at Public Hearing--Ordinance Passed Monday Evening MeHenry is to have an up-to-date system of sewerage. This fact was established at the second public hearing held at the Empire theatre last Saturday afternoon, at which only a handful of our taxpayers and property owners were present. Atty. A. H. Pouse once more called the meeting to order and thence briefly stated the purpose of same, after which he also explained the board's purpose of condemning James street on the West Side. The chairman then stated that he was ready to listen to any and all objections and also answer questions. Among the first in the audience to arise was one Mr. Robison, who was present to represent the interests of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. He stated that his company hasn't the slightest objection to a sewerage system in the village of MeHenry, but on the other hand did not wish to have its property condemned. The company, he stated, was perfectly willing to give the village of MeHenry an easement on the property owned by the rajhroad which is to be used during the installation of the proposed new system of sewerage. James street, it will be understood, has never been opened and it is for this reason that some of the property owners, who have had the use of said street, are opposed to having the proposed improvement go thru there. In fact, most of the objections to the proposed system last Saturday hinged on this particular question and the meeting came to a close with matters, so far as James street is concerned, standing about the same as they did before the meeting. Some of these objectors, so we are told, are willing to carry their case to the courts, but the board of local improvements sincerely hopes that these matters will be amiably settled long before the time of advertising for bids on the proposed improvement. A. S. Parks was another of those present who could not see the advisibility of putting in the improvement at this time and expressed himself satisfied that if the voters were given a chance to express themselves on the question at a special election held for the purpose the result would show a majority of the property owners and taxpayers of the village against the improvement. Atty. Pouse, in his reply to Mr. Parks, stated that the board felt assured that the majority of the residents of the village wanted the improvement, as was plainly evidenced when a standing vote was taken of those assembled at the first public hearing held here a few weeks ago, when less than a half dosen actually showed themselves to be against sewerage. Mr. Pouse pointed out that the first meeting was attended by a good representation of the citizens of the village and he could not see where the result of a special election would be any different. However, under the existing laws, such an election could not be held. Among others who arose to express themselves were Nicholas Bohr, Simon StofTel and T. J. Walsh, while L. F. Newman and A. M Brown asked for a bit of information regarding the assessments and how they were to be spread. These questions were satisfactorily answered by Emil Arnold of Woodstock, who was present at the meeting to answer just such questions as had been put to him by the above named gentlemen. Mr. Wells, the engineer employed by the board of local improvements, who arrived a trifle late, but still in plenty of time to answer questions, arose when the question was put to him why it was necessary to use James street. He stated that the plans were to empty all of the West Side sewerage into the James street pipes and thence carry it to the disposal plant. The natural slope of the land, he added, makes the use of James street very necessary if the system is to be a complete success. All of the sewage will be led into this pipe, that from the east side of town coming in from Green street and Elgin Road, and thus all will find its way to the disposal plant. After listening to all of the arguments at both meetings The Plaindealer is convinced that everything pertaining to the proposed system has been well thought out and planned so as to insure MeHenry of a sewerage system that will be found fanltlees in construction and service. As to whether or not the majority of the people want the improvement at this time we also feel convinced that they do, and by passing the ordinance for the improvement at Monday evening's session of the village board our village is practically assured of a sewer system.

Fr Killderry of Gary officiating. They were attended by Miss Florence Pettibone of Chicago, a niece of the groom, and Edward Iverson, also of Chicago. The bride was beautifuly dressed in a brown silvertone suit with hat to match and wore a corsage bouquet of pink sweet peas. The bridesmaid was gowned in a blue tricotine suit and work pink roses. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Fitsek of Algonquin, She has made her home in that village for several yei.rs and for the past six years has been employed as head bookkeeper for the Public Service company at Crystal Lake, whore she has been a very valuable employe.

The decorations of yellow chrysanthemums were artistically carried out in both the home and the church. The bride and groom are keeping house in the John J. Bach home on Water street. The Plaindealer offers congratulations. Parent-Teachers' Meeting The meeting of the Parent-Teachers' association, which was held last evening in the school auditorum, was well attended. A. M. Shelton, county superintendent of schools, gave a very interesting talk, which was rather startling to those who do not have the opportunity to know the statistics relative to school conditions. The violin sole by Miss Lenore Freund was very good. MeHenry can beast of an unlimited supply of excellent talent. The musical numbers by the trio were rendered very creditably and the response won great applause.

As in previous years, Thankschriag day proved to be the banner one of the entire fair. Three hundred were fed both at dinner and and the revenue derived source alone amounted to a sum. Needless for us to add that the "eats" were just fine, as anyone has ever attended an occasion of sort at Johnsburg well know the ity of the fine women of that nity when it comes to cooking and pt*- paring a meal. The receipts of the bazaar will bo placed in the church fond, according to the beloved later be used in making needed and quite extensive alterations on the interior of fks tiful church edifice. These have been needed for some but owing to the cost of making and also the lack of funds the paster has thus started a fund, which, soasetime within the next year or two, wfil be used in making the contemptatad improvement.
