May Pickle Co. Bays Oat Clamant Interests Here i Another important business change, which has been hanging fire for some time past, has just been made public. We refer to the John L. |Iay Pickle company, a new organization in this village, which has just taken over the C. F. Claussen & Sons interests in McHenry. In the transaction the McHenry concern becomes the owner of the receiving and salting station, together with considerable land formerly owned* by the Chicago people, and in the future pickle contracts Will be made tfiru the new organization. John L. May, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. May, who has been employed by the Claussen concern during the past five summers, is at the head of the new organization and will have complete charge of the business. He is thoroly familiar with the business and his connection with same during these years has acquainted him with all the necessary details to carry it along on successful lines. He is now having his contract forms, seed books and other printing matter prepared for the beginning of business and within a short time will be out making the rounds of the farmers thruout this locality. Mr. May believes that there will be a larger acreage of pickles in this locality the coming summer than has beef) planted in many years. Farmers are just beginning to realize that there is real money in raising cucumbers and therefore the head of the new company expects to sign up quite a number of farmers who have not planted pickles in years. The Plaindealer wishes the company success * % > ' Another Fine Dance The New Year's dance, given by tiie Just Us club at Stoffel'fe hall ^ast Wednesday c-ening, proved a most delightful occasion and the ninety or more couples in attendance were very pleasantly entertained. Hie hall was attractively decorated in Yuletide colors and this, together with the very fine music and the novelties introduced, made the occasion one of the gayest ever sponsored by our young social set. A few minutes before twelve o'clock horns were distributed among the gay assemblage and at a given signal the welcoming of 1920 took place. While it was rather a noisy welcome, everyone present appeared to welcome the opportunity of taking part in this feature of the evening's program, ^nd after a few minutes qiiiet and dancing was again restored. Lieut. Jimmie's jazz orchestra of Chicago t furnished very pleasing music for the occasion. The club is now planning qn giving a benefit dance spine time in the future. Entertained Friends Charles Whiting once more acted as a host to a company of his young fiiepds at the home of his parents south of town on Friday evening of last week. Dancing proved the evening's chief diversion, after which palatable refreshments were enjoyed.

' Truck Turns Over * ^ While returning home from Terra Cotta on Monday evening of this Week, the Ben Adams Ford truck, loaded with about sixteen workers from the Terra Cotta factory, turned on its side at a point near the John Phalin farm.

As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, ten candidates have been placed into the field for the honorable positions with five to be elected. . The names will appear on the printed ballot in the same order as they were filed with the county superintendent of schools, A. M. Shelton, at Woodstock. For the benefit of the voters of the new district we herewith give a miniature sample ballot of the one which is to be voted next Saturday: McHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION '(j,Fer Five Members"^ . (Vote por Five)^^~ 1 B Walter F. Vogt ; ' [] Joseph W. Freund 7* {] John M. Schmitt ^ „ 'v J] Thomas A. Bolger [] Charles W. Harrison [] Clayton C. Harrison [] Charles W. Gibt^f [] Arnold Mueller - t] Frederick A. Cootqjr [] D. G. Wells 0 , U -- (] -- : Pick out the five men for whom you wish to vote and place a cross in the square preceding their names. By voting for more than five makes your ballot illegal and will necessarily be thrown out and not counted. However, you may vote for one, two, three, four or five of the candidates, as you see fit. It will also be noted that a few blank lines on the end of the ballot will give the voter an opportunity/ to write in a name should he or she decide to vote for one or more candidates whose names have not been recorded with the county superintendent of schools and consequently do not appear on the printed ballots. The election will take place sit the villagfs hall, McHenry, and the polls will be open from 1:00 p. m. to 4:00 p. m. From those who appear to be quite familiar with the situation there are between 1,500 aivd 1,600 voters in the newly made community high school district and judging from the interest that has already been shown a record breaking vote is anticipated. Since this fact has been determined the question has arisen among interested voters as to whether or not this will give all who desire to vote ample time to express themselves at the polls. If, for instance, one-half of the estimated vote turns out the officials will be called upon to handle 800 voter% in three hours, or 180 minutes. Can this be done with one set of judges and clerks? Some with whom we have talked declare it impossible. And, in case seventy-five per cent of the voters of the community turn out, they declare, the judges and clerks would be simply swamped and it would be utterly impossible to take care of all the voters in the time which has been officially allotted, three hours. If previous elections can be taken as a criterion, the biggest rush next Saturday will come between the hours of 1:30 and 3:00 o'clock and it is doubtful if, with only one voting place and one set of officials, the voters can be taken care of without causing much confusion. As far as we are able to learn, all of the various candidates whose names are contained on the ballot are out doing all they can to get the voters to the polls and the final re suit of the election will be awaited with interest by the people of the entire community. The word has been passed all along the line to be sure to turn out and vote and with the various candidates working hard to win the honor it looks to us as if Saturday afternoon will witness the most lively scene on our streets that ha* been experienced in McHenry in years. The Plaindealer is absolutely neutral on the question and his no recommendations to malqe and, further than impressing upon the voters the importance of the coming election, we have nothing to say. McHenry employes of the Terra C6tfa factory will be pleased to learn 6f a new insurance system which has just been adopted by their employers. Under an arrangement just completed with the A. T. C. & C. Co. and an old established insurance company every employe of the factory is to be insured and such insurance will be carried along as long as the men. remain in their employ. "The amount of insurance is graded," says the Crystal Lake Herald, "according to term of service." By th® following table it can be easily figured out just how much insurance1 an employe wiil be entitled to: Those in the employ of the company less than 1 year--$500. One continuous full year's service and less than two years--$600. Two continuous full years' service and less than three years--$700. Three continuous full years' service and less than four years--$800. Four continuous full years' service and less than five years--$900. Five continuous full years' service and over $1,000. Anyone employed after Dec. 12, 1919, will be entitled to insurance After one year's continuous service. As each continuous period of service is completed the insurance will begin or be automatically increased to correspond with the above table. The insurance is paid for by the American Terra Cotta A Ceramic Co.; it costs the employes nothing while they remain in the employ of the company, and is in additibn to any payments provided for by die workmen's compensation act. The above described insurance may be terminated whenever said employe for a#y reason whatsoever ceases to be in the employ of the company. The insurance, we are informed, will effect about forty McHenry people who are now employed at the Terra Cotta factory. • . , WEST SIDE MARKET M. ' Michels Took Over * Business Wednesday Morning A deal was closed on Tuesday evening of this week whereby Jos. Michels became owner of the West Side meat market and grocery, he purchasing the place from Peter W. Frett, who has successfully conducted the business house since purchasing same of Schneider Bros, about two years ago. Inventory of the stock was taken the first of the week and on Wednesday morning the new proprietor took over the business. Mr. Michels is a young man who has had both city and country experience in the meat and grocery business and we believe he is well qualified to conduct the business on the same successful lines as his predecessor. He is industrious, trustworthy and a likeable fellow and his many friends in and around McHenry wish him success. In a telephone conversation with Mr. Frett on Wednesday afternoon a Plaindealer reporter was told that business will take him out west for three or four weeks and his plans after that he was not ready to make known at this time, altho we were led to believe that the retiring meat dealer will have something to say. some time later on. [ Breaks Arm Craakiag Car, i Ben Adams, an employe at the Terra Cotta factory, broke his arm while cranking his Ford at his home on John street on Sunday morning. Ben had gone out to the garage and started his Ford for the purpose of heating up the engine a trifle before starting away to attend church services. After running a short time the engine stopped and while in the act of cranking it for the second time the engine back fired, with the result that he sustained a fracture of the right wrist. Dr. A. I. Froehlich was called into attendance and set the fracture and at this time the victim of the painful accident is doing nicely. Mr. Adams, besides working at the Terra Cotta plant, also conducts a truck service for employes between that place and McHenry and during his confinement the truck is being driven by his brother-in-law, J. W. Schaffei* of the McHenry garage. Sixteen McHenry employes are being carried to and from the factory by this truefc .• Organized Farm Bureau Chas. W.

This news became public last week when information reached this office that all of the details, which will bring the singers to this community, hav& now been carefully looked after and, unless the . unexpected occurs, members of the society will be out early next spring, preparing the hotel and grounds for one of the biggest summers that Hie choristers have ever enjoyed. During the past few years the Paulists have been going to Crystal Lake, but for some time past they have been looking about for a more suitable location, with the result that Pistakee has been chosen. While they are coming under agreement reached between the present owners Atid themselves, it is not unlikely, we are told, that the property will eventually be purchased by the singers. According to their present agreement the Chicago society is to improve the hotel and grounds and place same in first-class condition and those familiar with the choristers feel certain that their end of the agreement will be fulfilled in its entirety. This means that the famous summer resort will be the scene of activity not witnessed since the days of Ben Stilling. It means that the very best class of people will make their headquarters there during the summer season and it will further mean some exceptionally fine musical events in time to come. HOME FROM RUSSIA C. F. Nariger Returns From Several Months' European Trip Radio: Ship United States, Via New York City, McHenry Plaindealer, V McHenry, HI. Mr f; Happy New Year to all McHenry friends, from five hundred miles outside of New York. Norager. The above wire was received by The Plaindealer on New Year's morning, just too late for bur last issue. The sender of the telegram, C. F. Norager of the Orchard Beach hotel, situated on Fox river north of this village arrived in McHenry last evening, after a several months' sojourn in Europe. Mr. Norager left New York on June 12, 1919, for Helsingfors, Finland, where he has made his headquarters during his extended stay in Europe. His mission to Finland was made in the interest of the W. O. Lucas & Co., exporters and importers of Chicago, for whom he acted as special agent. A letter written to The Plaindealer some months ago and Which reached this office during our holiday rush appears elsewhere in this week's issue and, while written some time ago, we are sure it will be read with a great deal of interest by The Plaindealer family of readers. Mr. Norager informs us that he expects to leave on a return trip to Europe on Feb. 22. : Altar and Roaary Society The Altar and Rosary sociel Patrick's Catholic church met at the home of Mrs. M. J.
