STOTFEL, PAGE, FTOOUCLL The l^ackett-Hayes-Stanfee try company is the name of a new organization which is soon to open an office at Minneapolis, Minn., and has as one of its members Ed. L. Hay&, formerly of this village, where he was engaged in the real estate and insurance business. Mr. Hayes, it will be remembet-ed by his many friends here, left McHenry during the period of the tale war after having tendered his services to the government. His services were accepted and for over a year he served his country in the department of agriculture with headquarters at Aberdeen, S. D. Since his release from this service he has been connected with the Dakota Farmer, published at Aberdeen. He is still with this farm journal and is acting in the capacity of poultry man for that publication. V Mr. Hackett, who has been named president of the newly formed company, will be remembered by many McHenry people, especially the poultry men, as he was one of the judges at McHenry's first poultry show, held here a few years ago. During the past two years he has hafd charge of the poultry work in all the central west states for the U. S. department of agriculture. W. E.

ARE WINNERS AT SATURDAY'S SCHOOL ELECTION Slated Stafftl to Head Bocrt of Education of District No. 15--440 Votes Were Caat : Notwithstanding the fact that the school ballots had been printed without a name of a candidate, which necessitated the writing of names, the election last Saturday for the purpose of naming a president and two trustees to serve on the board of education in district No. 15 brought out a tctal of 440 votes. The unusual situation of voting without the customary names of candidates, no doubt, kept many from visiting the polls. Under the circumstances, however, the total vote cast is Considered remarkable, *fhe entire ticket, headed by Simon Stolfel as president; Chas. L. Page and Dr. A. I. Froehlich as trustees won easily, these three men winning out over the entire field of candidates by over 100 votes each. While Most of the voters expressed themselves as in favor of the six men who had previously announced themselves as candidates for the three offices to be filled, there were a few who saw fit to write in names of other candidates and as a result of this seventeen people came in for honorable mention. The candidates and the total vote received by each follow: For President Simon Sfbffel CANM CONVOtSAINN CONCERNWC CAWBWN CO-ORAMNON BEING A CONVERSATION BETWFF.

The club members tfcet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Stilling anid from here took in the movies at the Empire theatre, followed by a sumptuous seven course dinner served by Landlord and Mrs. Fred Justen at Justen's hotel at 10:00 o'clock. That this feature of the evening's program was thoroly enjoyed goes without saying. After this followed two or three hours of dancing and games. At the close of the games each lady was presented With beautiful gift, exemplifying the thoughtfulnefts and good taste of selection by the donors. All in all. it was by far the most enjoyable gathering that has yet been held by vfhe club. ^ No Decision Reached No decision was reached for the building of a new parish house by St. Mary's congregation at a meeting called in the church basement immediately after the close of the late mass last Sunday morning. Rev. Edward Berthold, pastor of the church, explained the purpose of the meeting and then submitted a proposal as to what sort of a place would best suit the local requirements. While the meeting was not largely attended, the consensus of those present seemed to be that it will be some little time before a definite decision will have been reached. Twenty-five Votes for Johnaon As a result of the official canvass of votes at the county seat, Senator Hiram Johnson of California received twenty-five votes in precinct No. 2 the voting place of which is our village hall. As stated in last week's issue, the judges in this precinct were unable to make a decision on the Johnson vote and for this reason the figures were not given in last week s ifesue of The Plaindealer. The total vote of the three Republican candidates in McHenry township feUows Lowden ,* ««.133 Johnson 45 Wood . .1. 0.. « itmx Books Returned The tax books for the town of McHenry, which during the past few weeks have been at the West Mc Henry State bank, were returned to County Treasurer W. S. McConnell at Woodstock last Saturday. Out of a total of $51,501.62 due in this township, $56,803.50 was collected thru this bank, which is a remarkable showing indeed and should be sufficient evi dence that the new system of collecting the taxes is very satisfactory.

Justen Walter Gormad By the above it may been seen -that eveh under the unusual conditions the ballots were in most instances properly cast and out of the entire list of candidates only one deficiency occurred and that wais the two votes for Th<te. A. Bolger. Mr. Bolger is not a resident of this particular school district and therefore could not be a candidate for any of the offices. Outside of this one case, few deficiencies occurred, which evidences the intelligence of the voters who turned out last Saturday. The result of the election means that two new faces will be seen on the new board, Simon Stoffel taking the place of oiir esteemed citizen, Jas. B. Perry, who served us so faithfully and well for many years past^ and Dr. A. I. Froehlich* who takes the place of Stephen H. Ground. Chas. L. Page succeeds himself to office. The personnel of the new board will be as follows: Simon Stoffel, president; Wm. Bonfclett, F. A. Cooley, J. Claxton, Dr. A. I. Froehlich, Chas. L. Page and Wm. J. Welch, trustees. The Plaindealer believes that this is as intelligent a set of men as could have possibly been chosen for the important offices they now occupy. That they will strive for the best interests of the school and young America is not to be, questioned and it is up to every resident of the district to give the new board their full and most liberal co-operation at all times and in this manner assist in bringing our school to the front ranks of education in McHenry county. "There is no east, there is no west, there is no north, there is no south," said Billy during the course of the heated conversation. And as he said it he swept his hand out in a semi-circle, including all the limits of our little village. "Well," said Petecy "that smacks of the language used by our president during the great war, but, Billy, I don*# know but that it might apply co our village just as well as to our nation. It doesn't matter the size of the group of people--the strength is always dependent upon its solidar ity." "But now, Pete, let's just be candid about this whole matter--no use deceiving ourselves any long--you live on the west side and I live on the east side of town, but does that make us any less neighborly with each other?" "Why, I should say not," replied the other as he came down with a good, round 'slap on his friend's houlder. "I'd be your neighbor if you lived on the other side of the globe. All the good people don't live on our street, Bill--I don't think that for a minute." "Well, I think that most of the good people of McHenry recognize that Peter. As for myself, I believe that there is much room for everybody to work and that we need both sides of town to pull together for the best things of the community. Those old words of the song fit in with our conversation, Pete. " 'We are not divided, All one body 'we; One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.' " "Well, if everybody felt as you do about it, Bill, this man that some people have set up in their imagina tions as the enemy of the 'other side of town' would soon be found to be only paper, and he would be torn to shreads and east and west we would stand together for the best interests of The Greater McHenry.' " "Good for you, Pete. Well rally the best people of both sides of town to this kind of an ideal and foster a better spirit." "Count on me for that, Billy." "All right. So long, Pete." "So long, Billy." At the Empire Theatre Friday of Next Week} April SO Tuesday, April 20, 1920, has been inscribed in the annals of the history of the village, which dates back to August~19, 1872, as one of the greatest days ever witnessed in oar Own municipality. It was our annual election day for the naming of four citizens, three of whom are to guard our welfares in the capacity of trustees and the fourth' to- keep an accurate account of the board's actions. All four have been elected to serve a term of two years each. The victorious candidates are Peter J. Doherty, John R. Knox and Albert Krause as trustees and Wm. G. Schreiner as clerk. These, with the hold-over officers, Fred A. Cooley, R. I. Overton and Simon Stoffel as trustees and John O. Olson as president, will form the municipal l>oard during the next year. Simultaneously with the naming of the board came the birth of a bigger and greater McHenry, a situation for which many have been striving for some years past. The bringing about of die desired results makes Tuesday's victory stand out as the biggest achievement in local politics ever witnessed and with it goes all the glory that "usually accompanies victory, The Village Ticket, which proudly bore as its motto, "For the Better ment of McHenry," won out with many votes to spare. The people of the village have spoken and in no uncertain tones. Briefly, this means that they want sewerage and the other modern improvements that are now being enjoyed and have been enjoyed by other cities and towns of our great state of Illinois. So overwhelming was the victory of the Village Ticket that the real feeling of the majority of the resi dents of this village towards village improvements cannot possibly be misconstrued. A grand total of 567 votes, the largest to our knowledge ever polled in McHenry, gave significance to the fact that the work of two perfectly organized factions had been thoroly done. Few wore left at home and as far as we are able to learn only those who were physically unable to JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The junior class of the McHenry high school will present '"The Time of His Life" at the Empire theatre on Friday evening of next Week, April 30.

The young ladies now employed at the factory are engaged as rubbers and one of them, who started work on Monday morning of this week, is operating a scroll saw. Good wages are being paid and the members of the fair sex now employed at the factory appear well satisfied with their jobs and the working conditions in general. McHenry young ladies or women who are welling to accept positions at the factory should not delay in sending in their applications, as from present VALLEY CAMP GROWING Nine New Members Taken In Laat Wednesday Night get to the polling place were among t indications it looks as if there will those whose names were not entered in the Vregistration bookgk River view Camp Entertains The members of Riverview camp, R.

Himler; dominoes, Mrs. M. L. Worts. Refreshments of the sort as only members of this society know how to prepare and serve, concluded the evening's enjoyment. Another Tractor Man Here H. C. Carmody, who has put in two years at the big Fordson tractor plant at Dearborn, Mich., has arrived in McHenry and is now assisting Mr. Burroughs in the demonstration and sale of tractors and farm implements for the Star garage of this place. Both of these men are experts in this line of work and since their arrival in McHenry the Fordson tractor New life has been injected of late into Valley Camp, No. 97, M. W. A., of this village and as a result it has shown a very satisfactory growth within in past year or more. On Wednesday evening of last week nine new members were instructed in the mysteries of Woodcraft and prospects now point to many more to be added during the coming few months. The officers of the local organization are out to make the McHenry camp one of the strongest in the county and with this as their aim every member is showing a keener interest in the work than ever before. The new members taken in last Wednesday evening are as follows: Richard I. Overton, Chas. J. Reihansperger, Joe M. Brown, Joseph G. Wegener, Frank Thurlwell, Sr., Frank Thurlwell, Jr., Bernard Thurlwell, Thomas H. Kane and Walter M. War ner. The Ringwood camp had charge of the work, with E. J.

Schreiner.. 191 167 868 Total votes polled by Village Ticket 1035 Total votes polled by People's Ticket 628 The election, was fought out, not as man to man, but upon the platform of the candidates of the two tickets. It has boon known right along that the three losing candidates were opposed to sewerage and the ether improvements, while the winners had openly declared themselves in favor of these improvements, and it was their platform, more than anything else, that carried them on to such a brilliant victory. We are thoroly convinced of this, as we have heard number of voters declare themselves as-friends to the losing candidates, but could not vote for them on account of the stand they had taken regarding these improvements. Now that the sewerage question has been definitely settled and that, too, by the voice of the people, there is no further argument on this score and, after all, we are of the firm belief that those who worked against it will, in future years, be willing to shake the hand and give credit to the men who had the bacH bone and courage to go ahead and see the proposition thru. The fight brings back the days leading up to the installation of our water works, which every resident of our village has come to recognize as one of the very best moves ever made by our village and many a time has credit been showered upon those, liv ing and dead, who are responsible for tflis great improvement, and what is true of the water works will be true of the sewerage when once in and paid for. The result of the election further gives evidence that the people of McHenry are beginning to realize that "in unity'there is strength." The East and West Sides were entirely for gotten. The majority of the people no matter what side of town they lived on, were out for the men who stood for improvements and now that we are getting together let us keep it up. Let's forget about the two sides of town, tender the village board the cooperation which they so richly deserve and in this manner assist them in bringing into full realization "A BIGGER AND BETTER McHENRY." Side Lights on McHenry's Greatest Election One could tell by the smile as to the way they voted after it was all over. Why ask us what caused that board smile our mayor wore on Tuesday n i g h t ? . . . . . . There were more active workers in the campaign than in any previous election. One voter declared that McHenry held a "wake" and celebration all in one night. All of the schemes known to modern politics were used to very good advantaged A feeling of confidence' marked the countenances of the winners as the day progressed. One man is reported to have won fifty iron men and another thirty as the result of the election. The mangin by which they had won surprised the winners equally as much as it did the voters themselves. Even the moving picture show was brought in to good advantage in asking votes for the Village 1 icket. Do the women make good politicians? Well, you some of them worked last Tuesday. An event, which has since been written into the records of that organization as a memorable one, took place at the K. of C. hall in this village last Thursday, April 15, the occasion being the initiation of one new member and the installation of the newly elected officers of St. Clara Court, W. C. O. F., of this village. The work was followed by -a cafeteria supper, short program dance. The impressive ceremonies of the afternoon started With the initiation work, the candidate being Mrs. Ella Weber. This was followed by the installation of the officers with Miss Anna Walsh of Chicago, a state organizer, in charge. She was vary fcbly assisted in the work by St. Clara's drill team, which is considered one of the best in the state. The team is under the captaincy of Mrs. J. C. Bickler and the work of the members seems to grow better with each performance. At the close of this work a cafeteria supper was served, followed by a program consisting of short talks, vocal and instrumental music, and by this time guests were arriving for the . big public dance, which marked the doling of a day that will long remain in the memory of the present members of the organization. One of the features of the dance was a drill by St. Clara's team, which was put on at about nine o'clock. The honored guests of the day were Mesdames Heimer, Schuenemann, Gritzmacher and Shookman of Chicago, fifteen members of St. Agatha court of Johnsburg and eight members of St. Patricia court of this village. St. Clara court is without doubt, the largest and most active organisation of the kind in McHenry county and has a membership ot upwards of 130. New members are coming in right along and if zealousness will do it the court is destined to become one of the strongest outside of Chicago within die course of the next few years. Is Thirteen Years Old Miss Elizabeth Vogt, daught«# iC<, Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Vogt, celebrated her thirteenth birthday anniversary by entertaining a company of her schoolmates at her home on Main street from 4:00 to 6:80 last Friday afternoon. Games and music furnished a very pleasant time for the youngsters, after which refreshments were served the guests by the hostess' mother. As a cheerful reminder of the happy occasion Elizabeth received many pretty gifts, which, it is needless to say, are much appreciated by the recipient. Those Who.made up the happy gathering were: Angela Petesch, Gladys and Pamela Rieteeel, Margaret Stenger, Eleanor Walsh, Louise Chamberlin Alvera Heimer, Leone Givens, Helen Welch, Florence Antholtz, Lillian Buss, Aleta Belle Colby and Floribel Bassett. Te the Voters of McHenry We, the undersigned, wish to thank the voters of McHenry for the loyal support given the Village ticket last Tuesday.

A letter from Ed. L. Hayes of Aberdeen, S. D., expressed the wish that he might be in McHenry to "help warm up things." A large sign, asking the voters to ote the Village Ticket, was carried on the rear of Overton's big bus for a week preceding the big show. There were more automobiles employed in carrying the voters to and from the polls than at any other election ever held in McHenry toWnship. A more thoro political machine was never built up in McHenry than the one constructed by the Village Ticket during the two weeks preceding the election. N Large placards, supposedly sponsored by the business men of the village, were conspicuously placed in the display windows of our business houses about noon Monday. A hand bill, sponsored by the members of the People's ticket made its appearance at the doors of our homes about six o'clock on Monday evening and before six ^'clock the following morning another hand bill to counter act the first was in the Uamjy -qt most voters of the village. was fractured last evening while cranking a car.
