H. Kinpsley, has hands and is now the of H„ G. Saal, a Chicago manufacturer, who purchased the place for the benefit of the 900 or more employes in his factory. During the past few years the hotel property was owned by John Early of Chicago, who passed away early this' spring. Altho the late owner never had active charge of the place, the hotel was not in idleness, as it was operated by lessees. Since coming into possession of the property, H. G. Saal has had personal charge of a gang of men, who are now at work getting the hotel rind grounds in readiness for what promises to be one of the biggest and most lively seasons experienced in the history of the place. Many repairs are being made on the hotel property, while all of the smaller and unsightly buildings on the grounds are being razed and the grounds beautified as only human hands and skill can do. The refreshment parlor is to be converted into living quarters and will, so we are informed, be occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Saal. It is the intention to'Operate "the place oh the club plan and an invitation to become members will be extended to all of Mr. Saal's employes. This Will provide a place for the workmen, together wjth the members of their families, to spend their week ends and summer vacations and at the same time do so at the very lowest possible expense. In other words, the place *&1 not be operated for profit. Besides the three-story hotel building, the property consists of a refreshment hall, bowling alleys and about, six acres of ground, and the consideration, we are told, was something like $12,000. The hotel will be equipped with all of the modern conveniences, ^including electric light, gas, hot and cold running water, and when all improvements have been made the property will represent one of the finest places of the kind to be foend^in this summer resort district.

Mayor Olson has given Officer Walsh strict orders to see that these rules are obeyed and if you are "pinched" for not doing so you can blame no one but yourself. This notice is the only warning that frill be given you. It has been brought to our attention that most of the strangers are obeying the traffic rules in McHenry and in most cases the offenders are numbered among our own people. This is setting a bad example and every local owner of an automobile should take it upon himself or herself to live up to the rules of our village and thus set a good example to the visitors. Takes In Son aa Partner On and after June 1 it will be John D. Lodtz ft Son, tailors. This an nouncement has just been made by the senio# member of the firm, who has successfully conducted a tailor ing establishment in the Barbian block on Elm street for many years. Since his release from the army Percy has been employed in Chicago, but his father has finally induced him to return to McHenry and become.a part owner of this well established business. The junior member of the firm is now in the shop so as to be ready to step in as 'one of the proprietors on Tuesday morning of next week. Tin Jolly Sixteen The members of the Jolly Sixteen tlub were very delightfully entertained by Mrs. Al. Krause at her home on Elm street oh Thursday afternoon of last week.

As stated in lasf week's issue, the program will take place at the Empire theatre, commencing at two o'clock, at the dose of which a line of march will be formed in front of that place and thence proceed to the cemeteries, where the graves of our departed soldiers will be strewn with flowers. For the;! benefit o^those who have not been informed as to the requests that have been made by the members of the American Legion, we will once more state that all business men are kindly asked to close their respective places during the hours of the ceremonies; all business house and private residences should fly the American flag and everyone who'can possibly arrange to do so should take an active part in the observance of the day that has especially been set aside for the commemoration of the boys, both living^and dead, who have served their country during past wars. A special invitation goes out to the people of the riiral districts as well as those of our neighboring towns and with their co-operation the event this year can be made one of the biggest and most Impressive ever undertaken in McHenry. ^ The request is also made that everyone gather at the Empire theatre at the appointed hour, so that the program may be started promptly at two o'clock. If this is done everything will be over at four and thus give the rural residents as well as out-of-town people fdhple time to reach their homes for the evening work. Kindly bear these things in mind and thus lend your co-operation in making the event the success of which it is worthy. WILL OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY With Particular Solemnity at St Mary's Sunday Me--dag Decoration day will be observed with particular solemnity at St. Mary's next Sunday. At 10»46 o'clock the Victory beli, on which the names of the fifty-six heroes of McHenry county have been perpetuated, will toll fifty-six times in memory jof these fallen soldiers. At 11:00 o'clock, at the conclusion of the late church services in St. Mary's, a procession will forme, which will head for the cemeteries. All people are invited to join and take part in these impressive services. Every school girl will dress in white and carry flags and flowers.for the graves of the dead. At the cemetery all graves will be sprinkled with holy water in the usual way on Cemetery Sunday, but flags and gold stars will be placed prominently at certain points in St. Mary's cemetery to commemorate the three gold star soldiers of the parish who sacrificed their lives for us in the world war. Thereupon the people will gather in the center of the cemetery, where Nearer My God to Thee" will be sung with other hymns. Rev. Edw. Bertholdiwill give the sermon on that occasion and will be accompanied by his thirty altar boys. After the ceremonies at St, Mary's cemetery, flowers and flags will be placed on the graves in Woodland cemetery by the little girls in white. Place your ocder for early seed po- Wm.

Peter J. Freund & Son of Woodstocky also former McHenry residents, have the contract for razing other useless buildings now standing on the property, together with a portion of the pickle faotory which will not bs needed for the purpose for which it was" purchased. The pickle factory building is a three-story structure and with the contemplated changes made and modern machinery installed Woodstock will be given one of the most complete institutions of the kind to be found in this part of the state. Mr. Bonslett informs us that he has already been successful in obtaining the services of F. M. Holmes, a firptclass miller, ndw employed by the John G. Chick Milling company at Rockford, who will start work just as soon as the Woodstock mill is ready for operation, which Mr.' BonsJetts hopes will be about September 1. This, means that McHenry is to lose one of her very best families, if not right away, some time in the future, and while their many friends here will be^ pleased to know of Mr. Bonslett's decision, to enter into the flour and feed business on a much larger scale than while in business in McHenry, they will at the same time regret to learn that this highly esteemed family is to leave the community in which they have resided for so many years. K. OF C. INITIATE 39 Knights Applaud Week Sunday Afternoon Here ' , Looking For Manager Slow but sure progress is being in the formation of a baseball team in this village and the boys hope to have the grounds in shape so as to insure the opening of the season no lata- than the middle of June Just now the question as to who will manage the team is causing some deliberation on the part of the players The boys have asked several to manage the team, but thus far no one has been found who really cares to take over .the responsibility. However, we are informed that E. M. Geier has finally consented to take over the management until such time as someone can be found to relieve him. The boys are quite anxious to get started, while the fans appear just as eager for the opening combat. We learn that the old Sox uniforms have been secured and other equipment will be purchased out of the fund raised thru popular subscription. ^5 Big Bull Heads ^ G, B.' Hardy, manufacturer of "Hardy's Automatic Fishing Bob," displayed one of the finest catches of bull heads ever seen in the village on Monday evening of this week. Four of the largest of the fi»e landed that evening weighed somenAisnifa Knights of Columbus to the number of about. 350 gathered at Stoffel's hall last Sunday afternoon, where the second and third degrees were conferred upon a class of seventy-three candidates, all of whom were given the first degree work of the order at the K. of C. hall in this village a few weeks ago. The class of last Sunday was probably the largest ever instituted here and their coming gives the McHenry council a membership of exactly S21, the largest of any council in McHenry county and probably the largest of any town the size of McHenry in this country. The second decree, which was parted shortly after two o'clock, was in charge of a team from the Woodstock council, while the major degree was put on by a Chicago team, and those who witnessed the work declare it to have been as good as any ever witnessed in McHehry. At the conclusion of the degrees the candidates, members' of the home council and visiting Knights were invited over to the K. qf C. hall, where a cafeteri* luncheon was served them. The next regular meeting of the McHenry council will take place at their hall this (Thursday) evening, at which time a big attendance is expected. An • out-of-town speaker or two will probably be present, te enliven the meeting. Broke Ground For New Heme Ground was broken last Saturday morning on the corner of Elm and Court streets for a new home to be erected for Frank J. Freund, who recently disposed of his former residence to George Steilen of Chicago. The large barn, owned by Mr. Freund, and which was built at about the same time that the house was erected, will be moved up to the corner, where it will be transformed into a modern residence. Work on the foundation for the new place will begin this week and the carpenter work will be done by the owner. The outside finish will be of pebble stone and it is the hope of Mr. Freund to have the place ready for occupancy sometime in September. The household effects of Mr. and Mrs. George Steilen will be moved out from Chicago this week, when the family will take up their permanent home in the house r^e^jj, purchased. ^ Will Clear $75J0 f ^ A well filled house greeted "Miaf, Perkins' Last Engagement" as presented at the Empire theatre by members of the Methodist Episcopal church and Sunday school last Friday evening. The entertainment as a whole was very well presented and caused no end of laughter. The gross proceeds were over $100 and it is expected that at least $75 of this will be turned into the church treasury after all bills have been paid.

S. J. Harrison t* Lseve ' This Fsil Rev. S, J. Harrison, psstor of the Methodist church in this villsge, together with his wife and little son, expects to leave this fall for China, where they will engage in missionary work. , ' The popular , and hard working young pastor will coApletfe his studies at the Northwestern University at Evanston this springf but expects to remain as pastor of the local church, until early this fall, when the family will leave for the far-aVay orient. Since coming to McHenry Mr. Harrison has accomplished some very fine results within the circles of the Methodist church, beside proving himself a constant booster for the village and community at large. During the greater part of the time that he has served t^e McHenry charge he and his family have made their home in the beautiful new residence on the. Chas. W. Colby farm just outside of the north village limits. That his endeavors in the locaT field have not been made for naught is seen by the marked grow.th in attendance at the Sunday services, which has grown from a mere handful of worshippers to a congregation that seldom numbers less than twenty-five. The Sunday school, also, under the pastor's careful 'guidance, has grown in number as well as spirit and the happy sight of these little folks ered in front of the church on mornings truly exemplifies their love for their pastor as well as estimable wife, who has also labored unceasingly to bring about the results which now crown their efforts. It is indeed to be regretted tlu^the church as well as the village is to lose this couple, as thru their untiring efforts and genial manner they have endeared themselves not only to their own flock, but to the people of thf entire community as well. "PAL O' MINE" & The Opening* Play of the Flora De- Vosa Co. at the Empire Fr&ay "Pal 0' Mine" will be' thfe opening play of a two nights' engagement of the ever popular Flora DeVosg company at the Empire theatre on Friday evening of this week, May 28.

Between the acts feature vaudeville is introduced by Loren Sterling, in four feet of comedy; Chick Adams, the eccentric comedian and singer; Tewks O'Dare, in popular songs and dances; Geo. Dunn, the chatter box comedian, and Miss Edna Julian, costume dancer and singer. Miss Julian has been especially engaged as' a special feature between acts and is a headline vaudeville act. Patrons of the local play house may rest assured that there is in store all that is good in polite theatricals. Seats now. Better get them early or you may not get in. "The Long Arm of Mannieter" "The Long Arm of Mannister" is a picture which the great motion picture loving public has long waited for. It goes right into the heart of the funds mental human impulses and is new in theme, unusual in treatment and starting in development. The blindness of love, the rashness of jealousy, the inevitableness of retribution, the tragedy of wrong doing and the monster of revenge are the elemental impulses which actuate the actors in the remarkable picture. It is based upon the great novel by E. Phillips Oppenheim, and like all of this distinguished author's works, there runs through it a predominating note of powerful human emotion, coupled with great ingenuity of plot and liveliness of action. The action of the story takes the spectator from the vast stretches of the scorching desert, over oceans, through cities of crowded squalor and heartless idleness to the sumptuous palace of the mysterious avenger. The picture will hold the screen at the Empire theatre on Tueeday of next week, June 1. Bpnd Talk There is some talk at this time of re-orgsnizing the McHenry military band, which was disbanded on account of the war taking away so many of its members. A number of local players are particularly anxious to see the organization revived and with a little encouragement this could be done. Our people .have missed their music greatly during the past two years and the news of their re-organization would, we believe, be welcomed received by everyon<sT t:1 •" I X' CMv /A .est; r-\ - (Continued On last page) Next Daaee at StubbyV ^ The next dance at Stubby's hall, Johnsburg, will take place on Wednesday evening, June 2.
