This conclusion was reached a short time ago, after the popular pastor,' Rev. M. J. McEvoy, had received and been assured sufficient encouragement to go ahead with the gigantic project. St. Patrick's parish has experienced a wonderful growth within the course of the past three years and now a state has been reached where the present church is far too small. Three masses are being read there every Sunday morning with a big congregation of worshippers at each. There are quite a number of "other Catholics in the community who would become members of the parish if they could be accommodated with pews, but this is utterly impossible at this time, and it is for the purpose of accommodating all who wish to become members of the parish that it has now been decided to build. To date $6,500 has been received or promised for the new church fund, the donations coming without solicitation. Since this fact became known the pastor has been urged by many to go ahead with his plans for a new church and start out at once to make a canvass for - funds. This will be done and predictions are that at least $50,000 if not more will be subscribed during the campaign. Rev. McEvoy has worked faithfully since coming to McHenry a few years £go and we trust that his fond hopes of giving the McHenry parish an edifice second to none in McHenry county will be fully realized within the course of the next two years. SALVATION ARMY " i To Have Public Lecture at Woodstock July 2« To (foe citizens of McHenry county a clearer understanding of what the Salvation Army is and does, the recently organized county advisory board has arranged for a free public lecture by one of the most experienced and entertaining women officers at Chicago headquarters. The talk will be given in the Woodstock opera house on the evening of July 20. The speaker will be Mrs. Staff Captain Sylvia Morrison, secretary of the young people's work of the Army for the states west of the Mississippi. Captain Morrison had a wide training in Europe and the United States m various activities of the Army. She has recently completed a 7,000 mile lecture tour of the western states. Moving pictures and slides will be used by Captain Morrison to illustrate her talk and visualize the broad variety of efforts thru which the Salvationists reach out the hand of Christian kindness to suffering and forsaken humanity. It is the aim of the McHenry county advisory board to make clearer in the public mind the many ways in which the Salvation Army is aiding the unfortunate and explain what those facilities are which have been offered to this county thru the home service program of 1920. Following are the members of the advisory board: E. H. Waita, Judge C. H. Donnelly, John Hoy, Mayor S. E. Olmstead, John Whitworth, Frank J. Swahlstadt, W. T. Charles, County Clerk Guy Still, George Lemmers, A. F. Hock, David Joslyn, Jr., Charles F. Renich, George Murphy, M. N. Wein. Judge C. P. Barnes, E. C. Jewett and Fremont Hoy of Woodstock; C. E. Whittemore of Marengo; Ralph Walkup, Ridgefield; T. D. Smiley, Harvard; William Wire, Hebron; Frank McConnell, Richmond; W. H. Wilbur, Crystal Lake; C. T. Allen, Cary; Earl Toles, Greenwood; Frank Wattles, McHenry. Koeppe Sells River Property Wm. Koeppe, of the Koeppe beat line, has just sold a stretch of river frontage property just south of Otto Sohm's beautiful country place on CQQLET W1U CO S0UH McNCNlY FAMILY TO CAROLINA 7» Be of at Once--Plan to Leave Within Sixty Dm F. A. Cooley, who has been engaged in the feed and implement business here during the past few years, has decided to dispose of his interests here and with his family expects, within the course of the next Iwo months, to take up his home at Washington, North Carolina. The decision to go south was reached by Mr. Cooley soon after his arrival home from a trip he had made to that country in company with C. W. Stenger, both of whom are stockholders in the J. & W. Land Co., each holding one-half section of land of the 50,000 acres owned by this company. So favorably was Mr. Cooley impressed with the possibilities offered in the south that he was not long in making up his mind to go back and become a permanent settler in the southern state. He informed a Plaindealer reporter when interviewed on Wednesday afternoon that he now has a prospectivebuyer for the business, while he anticipates fury little trouble in selling the home. Washington is a city of 10,000 people and is growing rapidly. Quite a number of northern people have settled there within the last ten years and the city is almost certain to experience a more rapid growth in the future than it has in the past. While the two McHenry men were down there two weeks ago they saw one instance where seventy-seven barrels of potatoes were taken from one awe of ground. The price received for this lot was $10.50 per barrel aboard car. After the potato harvest, which is all over by this time, the ground will be planted to soy beans, which are produced at the rate of about thirty-five bushels to the acre. Last year's price for soy beans was $4.50 per bushel. The principal crops are potatoes, tobacco and cotton, tho the soil will produce anything that grows, including corn, oats and wheat. Since coming to McHenry Mr. Cooley, who was only recently joined by his son as a business partner, has built up a splendid business. He and his family are highly respected and their many friends will be sorry indeed to learn of their decisioni to lTeVa '•v e - the community. '* » CHOIR COMING MRS. KAtHERINE JUSTfcN Away at Her Late Home Here Last Friday * St. a'a Chair of Chicago WiH State at St. Mary's Sunday Surviving her husband by only a trifle over a year,llre. Katharine Justen, for nearly a quarter of a century one of McHenry's most highly respected residents, passed away at her late home on the corner of Elm and Park streets last Friday afternoon, after having been confined to her bed about two weeks. Altho never in perfect health, the deceased had been feeling so well of late that she had planned a trip to Iowa, her intention having been to spend the Fourth with relatives out West. However, this was not to be, as her last illness brought with it the end of her days. Katherine Festert, daughter" of Bernard and Susanna Festert, was bom on the family homestead at Pistakee Bay on May 16, 1851, where she continued to make her home up to the time of coming to this village in 1896. On October 14, 1867, she was united in marriage to Michael Justen at St. John's Catholic church by the late Rev. Finn. After her marriage she and her husband took over her parents' farm and continued to work same until their retirement from farm activity in 1896. During her many years of residence in this village the deceased has proven herself a most esteemed resident. Her greatest efforts and generosity were extended within St. Mary's parish circles, where she has always been found an ardent worker and a cheerful giver. The gifts of a high altar and one of the windows in the church destroyed by fire are exempliary of her heart and hand of charity, while man^ other good deeds stand out most prominently' on the records of the church. Mrs. JuBten was the last of her family and thus the only near relatives that are left to mourn her death are the nieces. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church at nine o'clock on Monday morning of this week with Rev. Edward Berthold officiating, and was very largely attended. Her remains were laid at rest beside those of her husband in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. r Card of Thanha ' We take this manner of publicly extending our heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends for the assistance and sympathy extended and also to those who so kindly tendered floral offerings.

The choir of St. Philomena's church, Chicago, consisting 6f thirty-five voices and recognized as one of the best trained choruses of that city, will sing high mass under the direction of Chas. F. Pich. Sister M. Stanislaus will be the organist. This choir has twice before visited this village and those who have heard it will undoubtedly avail themselves of this opportunity of once more enjoying their excellent rendering of the beautiful music of the Catholic service. The singers are coming to McHenry for the annual outing which their pastor, the Rev. J. P. Scheffer, tenders and will arrive on Saturday evening. Various families of the congregation have tendered them the hospitality of their homes for the night and the meals well be served by the Misses Emma Thelen and Pauline Kroeger of the Em-Pau home bakery, who are becoming well known as good cooks and caterers. After a trip to the lakes on Sunday our guests will return-to Chicago in the evening. Sold Twelve More Lata J. C. Holly, cashier at the Hoy baplr, and also owner of the Edgewater sub-division on Fox river, south of the bridge, informs us that he has the east shore of Fox river, »^Jort successful in the sale of a dozen more lots since our last edition. Mr, Holly is a hustler and is pushing the lots with a vim that cannot help but bring results. In another year we expect to see most of the lots disposed of and a number of summer homes in the course of construction. This summer resort district is gaining in popularity so rapidly that it will not be long ere every available foot of water frontage along our beautiful Fox will be owned by resorters. distance south of the river bridge We have not learned the name of the purchaser, altho we are told that the buyer is a man of means and plans to build a summer home and beautify the property in such a manner as to compare with any along thai port of the river.

The enterprise is quite a large one ftui travels in its own special cars. Counted Passing Autoe John H. Kennebeck, who resides on Maple avenue, upon which all Lake Geneva bound cars must pass in going thru this village, just out of curiosity as well as for pastime, counted the automobiles which passed his place on Monday afternoon, July 5, between the hours of 1:00 p. m. and 8:00 p. m., and on compiling the total that evening found that 925 cars had passed the place during these seven hours. An accurate record was kept for each hour and Mr. Kennebeck's report follows: First hour, 100 cars; second hour, 140 cars; third hour, 160 cars; fourth hour, 220 cars; fifth hour, 155 cars; sixth hour, 80 cars; seventh hour, 70 cars. During the same period of time there also passed the piano eight motorcycles, two bicycles put two one horse rigs. Ford Stolen--Recovered A Ford touring car, owned by Henry Weber of this village, was stolen while parked at Nell's Columbia park last Sunday evening. The theft occurred between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock. The following morning the car was found near the Sayers summer home at Pistakee Bay. One of the tires was fiat, while the car was also otherwise damaged, evidencing rough usage. Altho the truth will probably never be ascertained, the owner of the car is of the opinion that it was a case of someone in the mood of taking a joy ride rather than a genuine theft. Congressman McKiniey Here Congressman William B. McKiniey Republican candidate for United States senator, arrived in -McHenry as per his previously arranged schedule on Wednesday morning of this week. While in McHenry the distinguished visitor met and shook hands with as many of our voters as he could possibly reach. He was introduced by our honorable townsman, James B. HEAR PAULIST CHORISTERS Largo Crowd Present at First Open Air Concert at Pistakee Wedding Took Place at Wauconda on Wednesday Morning--Reception at East Side Hotel A wedding that will be of interest to scores of the couple's friends, both in this and Lake county, was solemnized at the Transfiguration Catholic church at Wauconda at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week, the contracting parties being Miss Cecelia Geary of Wauconda and Mr. John R. Knox of this village. Rev. Fr. Murphy performed the ceremony. The bride had as her attendant Miss Marie Zelsdorf of Palatine, while I^eo Zimmer of this village attended the groom. Paul Doherty and Earl Whiting of this village acted as ushers. The bride was most beautifully attired in a gown of white satin and wore a veil, which was graciously held in place by a pretty wreath. She carried pink bridal roses. Miss Zelsdorf was dressed in pink georgette and carried pink tea roses. During the mass music was furnished by relatives and close friends of the couple, while Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic church in this village, sang a beautiful solo. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party, together with the near relatives of the pair, numbering about sixty, gathered at the East Side hotel in Wauconda, where a reception was' held. The couple left during the afternoon and will spend a two weeks' honeymoon trip before their return to McHenry, where they will be at home to their friends after August 1 in the house recently purchased by the groom and located on Water street. The bride of this happy union is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geary, highly esteemed residents of the town of Wauconda, where the family has resided for many years. She is a product of the Wauconda high school, having graduated from that institution several years ago, and since which time she has taught school most successfully. She has the admiration of the younger set thruout the entire part of eastern Lake county, while she is also held in very high esteem by everyone who has the pleasure of her acquaintance. The groom is already too well known to the readers of The Plaindealer to be introduced by us. He was born and grew up on the old homestead at Terra Cotta. About twenty years, ago the family came to reside in this village and he has made this place his home ever since. His first employment was at the Terra Cotta factory and then he was one of our rural letter carriers. About ten years ago, when Henry Ford wasn't as well known as he is today, Mr. Knox took the agency for his car and ever since that time his rise in the commercial world has been steady and sure, until today he is recognized as one of the leading. Ford dealers in this part of the state. He has been successful in building the business from a one-man concern to its present state of fiourishment, a record in which he can take just pride. Besides taking care of his business, he has also given over much of his spare moments to boosting for the better things for our community. He is now serving his second term as alderman on our village board and is also a member of the board of local .mprovements. During the war he was connected with the A. P. L. and in this capacity he also discharged the duties connected thereto without fear or favor. He is a livewire, general good fellow and a man who has already and will continue to show his real worth to the community. The Plaindealer joins the couple's many friends in extending congratulations. . Cotillion and Carnival Dance The McHenry Post, No. 491, of the American Legion, have rented Nell's Columbia park dance pavilion for Wednesday evening, July 14, at which time they will conduct a cotillion and carnival dance, which gives promise of terminating into one of the finest occasions of the sort ever held at the place. There will be confetti and serpentine favors and arrangements are already being made to entertain the largest crowd that has ever attended a dance at the place. McAndrews' orchestra of Woodstock will furnish the music. Dance tickets, $1.50, including war tax. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend. The Hunter boat line will run an excursion to and from the pavilion, leaving Justen's pier at 8:80 p. m. Round trip, 50 cents. Spring Grove Garage Now Open The new garage at Spring Grove, owned and conducted by Nick Nett, formerly in business at Ringwood/is now open for business. The place is equipped with all the modern machinery and the service should be firstclass in every respect. Mr. Nett will make a specialty of repair work and will also handle genuine Ford parts as well as tires, tubes and accessories of all kinds. and hoafcsy at Ertekaan'a. The season's first public open air concert by the Paulist choir at their newly acquired summer home, formerly Stilling's hotel, at Pistakee Bay last Sunday evening was attended and thoroly enjoyed by a large throng of music lovers, who had gathered at that point from all parts of McHenry and near-by counties, while many Chicagoans were also numbered among the assemblage. The choir, numbering about eighty voices, was seated on the spacious porch of the home, while plenty of seats for the visitors had been provided on the lawn. Altho the evening was rather cool for such an occasion, the large crowd assembled appeared perfectly satisfied and sat in admiration all thru the splendid musical program asi was rendered. Both the chorus work Vs. we^ as the solo numbers were faultlessly rendered and those whox have heard the choristers on several occasions in the past declare that their efforts oh this occasion were the best that they had ever heard. It is the sincere hope of those who attended the concert last Sunday evening that they may again be privileged to listen to this excellent musical organization before the summer season has come to a close. The choristers arrived at the home on Thursday of last week and the young people have been enjoying the times of their life ever since. Improvements on the home as well as the grounds are far from completed and from reports the work along the line of further beautifying the place will be continued for some time to come. In fact, it will be another year before all of the contemplated changes and improvements will have been made. McHenry and this summer resort region heartily welcome the Paulists to our midst and it is the hope of all that they may enjoy the beauties and pleasures to be found here for many years to come.

For over a quarter of a century Mr. Burns held a position of responsibility with the J. V. Farwell company of Chicago, retiring from active business life only a few years ago. During the years that he has passed the summer season here he has made many warm friend, not only among his fellow resorters, but among our local people as well, and the news of his death was received with a feeling of deep sorrow by those who knew him best.
