'fvr next week Friday, Jofte BS, the sisters of St. Mary's school are preparing for a dainty and, unusual entertainment to be given at the Empire theatre. For many weeks they have been preparing for this capital event, which needs little advertising. For originality and beautiful stage work the school sisters, so prominent in the past, will again have huge surprises for the public. The most gorgeous drills vfill be staged and costumes will be something elaborate. Several well selected plays will give the public an entertainment of a very order. On the long program tile «h<f drill and the Joan of Arc drill will be big events. "The Burglar Alarm" is a play full of life and interest and sure to please everybody. "The Mysterious Artist" is a play adopted from Van Dyke, showing the workings in the studio of the famous Murillo. On account of the costly costumes to be rented for this entertainment as well as on account of the higher price for hall rent; all seats will be 50c. No extra war tax. Reserved seats, ?5c.

' SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT Speed Laws Bnforecd ^/;:T Following up the warning as given thru the columns of The Plaindealer a short time ago, the village officials, headed by Mayor Olson, have started out to see the enforcement of our speed laws and traffic rules in general. The first arrest for speeding and reckless driving took place the first of the week, when one of our young men was hauled into the local court and pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding. The fine assessed was something like $13.00 and costs and the judge warned that the next man brought before him on a .similar charge would be given the limit. Officer Walsh has been instructed to make it his business to see that our speed and traffic laws are respected in the future and to arrest those who insist upon doing otherwise. Once more let the drivers take a warning and operate their gas" wagons according to the rules as laid down in our village ordinance book. If you are not posted on these laws better acquaint yourselves at once. It may mean the saving of a few hard earned dollars. Meyer-Geary Awmarriage in which a number of our "young people will be interested took place at Streator, 111., on Saturday, June 5, when Frank Meyer, an employe at the Star garage in this village, and Miss Grace E. Geary, daughter of Mrs. Alice Geary of Wauconda, were united. The bride, up to the time of her marriage, was employed as chief operator at the Wauconda telephone exchange and in this capacity as well as socially she has endeared herself to a large circle of friends. The groom is a clean cut type of young manhood and a fine workman. The couple will be at home to their friends in the N. A. Huemann cottage on Court street on and after July 16. McHenry friends offer congratulations. ^ f Dog Licences Dae <, *T The dog licenses, which are now past due, will be collected immediately by Officer Jack Walsh. The official, on account of the road work, which has kept him* busy until now, is about a month late in making the rounds of the village. The village board insists that every owner of a dog must pay the annual tax and with these instructions Officer Walsh will start making the rounds immediately. If you are a dog owner and you see the local official approaching your home be prepared to meet the tax and save him the inconvenience of making a ^second call. May Have Co-operative Steve Two gentlemen were in town Tuesday afternoon in the interest of the Co-operative Society of America, concern which is establishing stores in many of the cities and towns in the Chicago territory. A mass meeting of thoge interested is called and will take place at Weber's hall on Water street on Friday evening of this week, June 18. Gus Hartlett, a former McHenry resident, but now a resident of Woodstock, will act as organiser and if successful in obtaining about three hundred signers a store will be opened in McHenry. Will Reside Here During SamsMT Mi*, and Mrs. Jos. Buch and family will arrive here the latter part of this month and take up their residence in the John J. Buch house on Water street. They hope to make this village their heme ^during the entire summer. - HAY GETSEVBME SOON PRELIMINARY WORK tO BS RUSHED NOW Cats Off End ef Thumb - Thomas Phal|s, son vt Mr. and Mrs. John M. Phalia, who reside south of the village, met with a very painful accident on Tuesday of this week, when he severed the end of his left thumb with a hand saw. Dr. D. G. Well* attended him. Board of Local Improvement Files Names ef Cosnmisskmers la County Court--Assessment Work Started That McHenry's proposed sewerage system is far from a dead issue and that the board of local improvements is still alive and active is seen by the action taken by this body last week, when they filed a petition in the county court asking that such an improvement be made in the village of McHenry, and also the filing Of the names of the men who will act as commissioners. Besides the mayor, John O. Olson, the names of N. H. Peteach, the Ceuterville druggist, and J. E. Pufahl, superintendent ef the Borden milk plant here, were submitted. The duties of these three gentlemen will be to fix the benefits to the property affected and spread the assessments covering the cost of the improvement against the property. The work of spreading the assessments against the lots is already under way and is in the hands of the Wells Engineering company of Aurora, who have promised the members of tfte local board of improvements that their work will be rushed with all possible speed, and the board now feels that these figures should be available within the course of the next five or six weeks. Thus it may be seen that the preliminary work for the installation of our proposed improvement is now well under way and the property owners may look forward to some real action some time this fall or early spring. According to the very best information obtainable, present day prices of, material and labor will make it possible to put in the improvement _ at a cost not to exceed the estimate given the board last fall and if this proves true there shouldn't be much of a hitch anywhere and the balance ^f the preliminary work- should now go thru without interruption. Quite a number of our property owners are watching the action of the local board with a keen interest and when onee it becomes assured that McHenry is to be given the proposed improvement many of these people plan to improve their homes and get same in readiness for the installation of water and sewerage. The members of the board of local improvements have been heard to express themselves of late that it wiH please them greatly to learn that the assessments per lot on the proposed improvement will be considerably below the estimate and thus create better feeling and satisfaction among those who will be called upon to pay the costs of our sewerage system. Claims He Was on Right Side John Degen, who with his wife and child, figured in a serious motorcycle accident here a week ago last Saturday night, called at The Plaindealer office the first of the week and informed us that he was on the right hand side of the road and not on the left, as reported in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, at the time the accident took place. He pointed out that had he been on the wrong side of the road the accident would not have occurred. Mr. Degen appeared quite indignant over the reports that he was on the wrong side and asked us to make the correction. How some of these people who were two miles or more from the scene of the accident can make such statements is more than Mr. Degen is able to understand. Mrs. Degen verifies the statement as made by her husband. Stocm Does Severe Damage Extraordinarily severe lightning, wind and rain storms continuing until late Monday night have caused enormous damage in the suburban territories of the Chicago Telephone company. Patrons are requested to have patience while miles of poles are erected, lines restrung And fuses replaced. All plant gangs have turned out to a man, working night and day, cheerfully in the spirit of service, to remedy the damage do^ie. Entertains Social Wheel Mrs. C. L. Page very pleaisantly entertained the members of the Social Wheel at her home, a short distance south of town, last Thursday afternoon. Bunco furnished the afternoon's pastime and high honors were accorded to Mrs. Wm. Spencer. The afternoon's pleasures were concluded with the serving of refreshments. The next meeting will take place with Mrs. Wm. Spencer on Thursday afternoon, June 24.' • Margaret Stenger at Hospital ^iliss 1 Margaret Stenger, accompanied by her father, C. W. Stenger, went to Chicago last Sunday, where the former entered Grant hospital and the following day underwent an operation to have her tonsils removed. Mr. Stenger returned home on Monday afternoon and reported his daughter as coming out of the operation nicely «nH very much encouraged that seme would prove successful. RE-APPOINTED POSTMASTER T. i. Wafedt Is Given Another' Term Hare A* UMWmsHy brosd ? Udwrnsd the countenance of our gonial postmaster on Tuesday morning of this week and upon investigation it was found that the morning mail had brought forth the glad tidings that Mr. Walsh has been officially re-appointed as postmaster of McHenry for another term of four years, beginning on June 1. Mr. Walsh became McHenry's postmaster on September 1, 1916, since which time he has served the public faithfully and well and the news of his re-appointment will, no doubt, be received by his man^ friends in and around McHenry with a feeling of profound pleasure and the patrons of the office have the assurance that the duties connected thereto will be discharged ih the same care taking and courteous manner cs has been prac-' ticed in the past. During Mr. Walsh*s administration the business of the pffice has witnessed a very preceptable as well as subtantial increase and now that Uncle Sam has seen fit to grant all postal employes an increase in pay, effective July 1, the postmastership of McHenry carries with it a very nice salary. The Plaindealer wishes to add its congratulations with those of Mr. Walsh's friends, which are being ee generously extended. CONFIRMATION AT POLO ALOMRPSJURTOAL BANQUET PROVED PRETTY AFFAIR LAST SATURDAY EVENING Banqoet Served at Justen's Hotel at Sevea O'clock--Floyd Cooiey In Role of Toastmaster Hie annual banquet and dance, as sponsored by the McHenry High School Alumni association, took place last Saturday evening and proved one of the delightful events of the early summer season. The banquet was held at Justen's hotel at 7:00 in the evening. Tables tastefully arranged, pretty decorations and a gathering of 120 of our best people formed a picture very seldom equalled in the history of the popular hostelry. The menu: Fruit cocktail, soup, crackers, roast beef, mashed potatoes, French pea?, pickles, olives, fruit salad, ice cream, cake, nuts and coffee. Miss Nellie Doherty, as president of the alumni during the past year, introduced Floyd Cooiey as the toastmaster, who responded and discharged the duties of this honorable capacity in a manner that was most pleasing. Miss Agnes Dodge of Ringwood, who during the was was engaged in Red Cross work at Camp Grant, welcomed the class of 1920. Her address to the new comers was very well rendered and to the point. Miss Kathleen O'Reilly, on behalf of the '20 class, responded in her own way, during which she brought in more or less of that Irish wit which is second nature to her. Supt. O. G. Treadv/ay was then called upon and his remarks were tnade in support of a community high school and explained how members of the alumni could lend their assistance in making the new school systefn a success. His remarks were interesting and proved a very enjoyable number on the evening's program. A piano solo by Miss Mary Bonslett and two vocal selections by Miss Opal Cooiey also proved most delightful numbers and these concluded the banquet of 1920. The dance, which followed"the banquet, was held at Stoffel's hall and this, too, was in perfect harmony with the earlier program of the evening. The hall never wore a more festive appearance. Arranged in Kelley green and white decorations, with pennants of the various years, a more pleasing sight to the eye could not be jimagined. The grand march was led by the ^president of the alumni, Miss Nellie Doherty, and her brother, Paul,' while Misses Cornelia Freund and Pauline Pufahl handed out the dance programs. The music was furnished by Lieut Jimmy*s four-piece orchestra of Chicago. ^ Drive Car* From Toledo Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F. Cowen and Master Richard Overton of this village, Mr. and Mrs. Esrl Monear of Solon Mill and Frank Dalziel of Wauconda left this village on Tuesday evening at last week for Toledo, O., from which city the party drove home one Willys Knight touring car, one Overland Four sedan and two Overland Four touring cars. They reached McHenry last Friday and to Master Richard goes the honor of driving one of the cars all the way back home. The Willys Knight was delivered to Cliff Sherman the following day, while Math. Glossen received one of the Overland Fours. Haa Arm Rebroken Gerald Carey, assistant cashier ef the West McHenry State bank, who a few weeks ago suffered the fracture of his right arm while cranking a car, is again laid up. The first setting of the fracture did not mend in the manner it had been hoped would be the case and it was therefore found necessary to rebreak the member, necessitating Mr. Carey to again give up work for a while. Fine Crowd at Card Party Hie third card party of a series, given under the auspices of Riverview camp, R. N. A., was held at Weber's hall on Water street last Friday evening and proved a very, enjoyable occasion. At five hundred" prizes were awarded to Misses Theresa Freund and Barbara Weber. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. Moved Into Temporary Quarteii The McHenry Lumber company has moved their effects into the garage recently completed on the site to be occupied by the big plant. This, however, will only be the temporary quarters, as the plans are to have the permanent office in the' big building <to he. erected this summer. • Released { . t.,* y, ' J. H. Miller, the local mowsment dealer, who during the past several weeks has been serving as a jurist in the federal court, Chicago, was released from further service last week. Needless to say that the McHenry man was made happy on being notified of his release, altho the work proved highly instructive e* veil as Harvest hats at EridBMti'a# --tieaal - . IB £ •vnV". » v ' . J - a - i Fifty Children In Class te Be Cau« 'firmed Next TueedKf A class of fifty children will be confirmed at St. Peter's Catholic church at Volo next Tuesday afternoon, June 22. The dues is the tersest ever assembled at Volo and the pastor, Rev. Geo. Schark, as well as the parishioners, is planning on one of the biggest and most festive events te the annals of the parish. Archbishop Mundelin of Chicago will be in Volo on this all important occasion and his presence is. sure to attract people from far and near. This will be the archbishop's first visit in this immediate locality and everyone will be anxious to see and hear him. The confirmation will take place at three o'clock itf the afternoon. No doubt there will be a number of McHenry people in attendance. Rev. George Nell Here Rev. George Nell of Effinghssn, 111* was in McHenry a few hours yesterday and while here made this office a very pleasant call. Rev. Nell is an enthusiastic worker and only recently waff made moderator of the young men's section of the Catholic Union of Illinois. Working in this capacity he is now mapping out a program, which, if carried out, will be of great benefit to the Catholic young men of the state. In the work as planned by the former Johnsburg young man, he expects to enlist the interest and cooperation of every young man in the state and when once this o»-operation is had he feels that with these young men's assistance he will be able to put over some of the bigger and better things which others have tried to accomplish and failed. There is but one way, Rev. Nell feels, to do big things and this is thru the co-operation of the young men. Post Cards From Berlin The Plaindealer acknowledges the receipt of two souvenir post cards, mailed to us from Berlin, Germany, and sent by C. F. Norager and his daughter, Erna, who are now visiting in that city. Both of the cards contain views of the city taken during the street fights which followed closely after the signing of the armistice. Miss Norager's card contains the following message: "Greetings to all my McHenry friends from the beautiful city of Berlin. This is a picture of what really took place during the revolution here. This city is very interesting." Mr. Norager's message is a greeting to all his friends. Ferdinand Vogt Buried Here The body of Ferdinand Vogt, father Of Walter F. Vogt, the West Side druggist, wno passed away at his late home at Milwaukee, Wis., on Wednesday of last week, was brought to McHenry for burial last Friday morning, interment having been made in Woodland cemetery. The body . was accompanied to this village by a nephew, Anton Hennecke of Milwaukee. The deceased was seventy-two years of age and is survived by the McHenry business man, who was the only son. The bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of our people. Aleathea Club Entertains In honor of the young people who took part in the recent production of "Miss Perkins' Last Engagement," the Aleathea club of the M. E. church very pleasantly entertained at a party at Woodman hall last Friday evening. Games and dancing were enjoyed for a few hours,* after .which refreshments were served. A most enjoyable time was had by thoee present. - - < , , , •% '5* /} , S' "• A'Jt - S? •* v » *•»x is ' vy 'ki M VN'.' STORAGE WARE HOUSB McHenry Brewery Building Being , t " Transformed • y';i ^ ~ The Mettenry brewery 'buMMljg is under way of transformation into a storage warehouse and service station. Carpenters have been at work on the building for some time and within the course of the next week or two the place will be ready for business. For several months past Messrs. John R. Knox and H. E. Buch, the former in the garage business and the latter in the plumbing and heating business, have had materials stored in one of the spacious rooms of the building and this is what prompted Mr. Worts to change the entire building over for such purposes. A large double door, together with a driveway, has been built in the south end of the building, thus enabling a heavy truck to enter the place and unload its cargo. The north side of the building, formerly occupied as a store room for the bottling department, is beiag remodeled and will be used as a servioe station. Mr. Worts is just about to come to an agreement with the St. Clair Oil company, wly>se gasoline and lubricants he plans to handle. A large tank and pump will be installed and will be covered, the covering extending from the building to a point across the sidewalk. The tank and pump have already been ordered and are expected to arrive at any time. They will be installed immediately after their arrival. Other plans which the McHenry man is now formulating is the securing of a site adjacent to the railroad tracks for huge storage tanks, about the same as are now in use by the Standard and Valvoline companies. Thus it may be seen that his intentions are to carry on a wholesale as well ^s retail business. Later on he also plans to set aside a certain space of the building to be used as a cold storage plant. With an ice machine already installed in the building this could be accomplished with very little additional ex pense and Mr. Worts feels that such a place would also fill a long felt want in McHenry. The entire building, he estimates, will store at least thirty carloads of goods and materials of various kipds and with the encouragement that he is receiving from a number of our business men the undertaking is already assured of success. Looking Over Storage Taaka Mayor John O. Olson recently spent couple of dayr in Chicago, where he looked over storage tanks for use of storing road oil and his report to the board a week ago last Monday evening was to the effect that a tank to suit local requirements could be purchased at a very reasonable figure. Altho no action was taken at the meeting, it is expected that our village dads will act favorably on the mayor's report at a later meeting. With the installation of such a tank a great saving can be effected and at the same time avoid such delays of delivery as we are experiencing at this time. The mayor informs us that our report last week as to the saving such a tank would have been to the village this year was absolutely correct. A storage tank would not only cut down the cost of the oil, but would also make it possible for McHenry to spread same under the most favorable conditions as our streets really needed same. The Plaindealer believes that the board would be doing the village a great service fc>y the purchase and installation of such a tank. Ask For Home Coming The Plaindealer is informed that a number of former residents have asked that McHenry hold a home coming some time during the summer months. McHenry has never held a genuine home coming and The Plaindealer believes that such an occasion would prove a most enjoyable one. It could be extended over two days and no better time than Sunday and Labor day could be selected-for the holding of such a festive event. New Train Schedule * The' day light saving #an as adopted in Chicago Monday has affected our train schedule as follows: The thru passenger now leaves this station at 7:33 instead of 8:3S a. m., the Monday only Chicago passenger leaves at 6:19 instead of 7:19'a. m. and the Saturday only arrives at this station from Chicago at 1:17 instead of 2:17 p. m. All other trains, including the Sunday service, remains heretofore. Meeting of Fourth Degree Members The fourth degree members of the Knights of Columbus held a meeting the K. of C. hall here on Tuesday evening of this week, Two visiting Knights were here from Aurora, who imparted instructions that will be found of value to the McHenry members in the future. Light refreshments were served at the dose ef the meeting.
