Ma* Eickstead, aged tweoty-four years, of Marengo passed away at '.*,••• the Woodstock hospital one day last week following injuries received from s. a fall from a silo upon which he had been at work. s Shortage of freight cars has temporarily tied up operations of gravel washers along Fox jiver between Elgin and Algonquin. Every available freight car is now being sent into the wheat and coal fields. Richmond's 1920 appropriation ordinance totals $5450, which, it is estimated, will defray the expenses of operating that municipality for a year. V Crystal Lake's total appropriation for t s tlie same period is $30,700. Alterations on the factory building . at Cary, recently purchased by the Sure-On Tire Saver company of Chi- -• cago, will begin at once., It is under- . stood that an addition to the present y' building is also to be erected. Public spirited citizens of Dundee have asked the aldermen to provide a public play ground for the children of that city. Many have already expressed themselves as. willing to contribute towards such an improvement. Some of the more progressive citizens at Grayslake are now "boosting" for the paving of the main streets of that village. The cost of such an. improvement has been estimated at $5.00 per square yard, or $138.60 for • a twenty-five foot lot. The Mrs. Ella Parks farm near Terra Cotta has been sold by J. C. Small to Fay McKinzie of Whiteside - county. Charlie Schroeder, the occu- . pant of the farm, has purchased a heme at Crystal Lake and will mofe his family to that city. A petition, signed by fifty voters, J asking that an election be held to decide the establisment of a community high school in the territory of which the village of Barrington is to be the center, has been forwarded, to the superintendent ef schools of Cook 1 county. The village of Barrington has passed a motor and vehicle law. Like all other small communities, we are willing to wager a dollar to a doughnut that the ordinance will never be strictly enforced. Most of the towns of McHenry county have such ordi- ^• nances on their books, but enforce- , ments of the laws are rare. A big Curtiss hydroplane has arrived- at Lake Geneva and is now do- .. ing commercial flying. Passengers v / are taken out for fifteen minutes' ride , and during the week end, especially Sundays, the machine appears to be doing a thriving business. It is parked beside the new dance pavilion, which occupies a site on the lake shore. At a semi-annual meeting of the directors of the State Bank of Cary a semi-annual dividend of five per cent was declared. It was also voted to add a sufficient amount to tlie surplus fund to bring it up to $10,000. This Kinking institution has enjoyed a won derful growth since its re-organization a few years ago. Jos. W. Stenger is the cashier. Two large ice houses in lower Wis cons in were destroyed by fire recently. One owned by the Consum- > " era' company and located at Williams Bay was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The second also owned by the same company, was It destroyed at Lake Coma. Both of the i|, houqps destroyed were located within tx; * a abort distance of Lake Geneva, f The Fourth of July crdwd at Lake Geneva was the largest ever recorded Every hotel, rooming house and pri vate home offering its rooms were filled, while hundreds^ slept in their cars and on the ground. Some of the Carlton Prouty of Chicago, who owns a summer home on lite Jame3 Hughes farm south of this village on Fox river, near the dam, with his tenyear- old son, Richard, has just returned from a river trip to a point one mile south of( the village of Rochester, Wis. The water trip was made in their sailing skiff "Water Gypsy," which, when loaded, draws about six inches of water and can easily be lifted around or over dams. They carried with them a shelter tent, camp stove and complete camping equipment. In describing their trip, which consumed a whole week, Mr. Prouty had tlie following to say to a Plaindealer reporter: Ascended the Fox to a point one mile south of the village of Rochester, Wis., where the river shoaled to an average depth of four inches and the boat could be forced no further. With another foot of water no difficulty would be encountered in reaching Waukesha, but at certain spots there are rapid currents which make rowing or sailing very difficult and the push paddle or tow line are necessary. Camps were made on the river bank in pleasant spots accessible to the water. The people along the course were pleasant and interested in the trip. Hardly anyone north of Wilmot seemed to know there was such a place as McHenry and no one interviewed had any knowledge of what became of the Fox river after it left their immediate neighborhood. This peculiarity also evidenced right here at home. Mr. Prouty has heard it solemnly stated that our river emptied into the Mississippi The Fox river takes its rise In Pewaukee lake west of Milwaukee, is joined by the White river at Burlington, Wis., and flows into the Illinois river at Ottawa, 111., with a total course of approximately 200 miles, of which 125 are in Illinois. While able to sail like a witch in favorable winds, the "Water Gypsy" did not have much chance to show her sailing ability, for the winds, as is quite usual, blew from the north during the up trip and from the south on the return. Mr. Prouty rowed from Wilmot to his cottage on the last day, distance of twenty-one miles in nine hours total elapsed time. Last year, in a different boat, not so well adapted for the work, the same crew were only able to reach a point ten miles south of Burlington, where low water ended the trip. As a comment on the cost of living, porter house steaks were bought at McHenry, Wilmot, Silverlake and Burlington and the price per pound varied 13 cents between high and low. It would be highly improper to state which proved the cheaper center in which to trade. The same craft and crew will try it again next year during the June high water. latter were unfortunate enough to come without side curtains or other "camping" necessities and therefore took a cold ducking during the rain that fell during the week end. The Lake Shore Improvement association, made up of summer residents who own and occupy cottages along the shore of Crystal lake, has just elected officers for another year. The prime object of the association is encourage the improvement of the lake property and also keep same in the best of sanitary condition. The body has now been organised four years and siftce its launching it has &9ne considerable towards bringing to that summer resort a class of people in which everyone can take a justified : .-;*<.£•* •, m • COUTY "SBVKE" TUMI SERVICE KEN SEEK OFFICES OMJItTY Was NELSON QUINCY ©ISfeN In Nanda To w whip March 16, 1850 Trouble Getting Cement In an interview with one of the officers of the McHenry Artificial Stone company the first of the week, a reporter of The Plaindealer was informed that future business prospects for the concern were exceptionally encouraging. Right now, however, they are experiencing some trouble in the delivery of cementx and, while this condition has not caused the company any very serious delays, they will welcome a clearing of the situation, and thus assist them in the completion, before cold weather, of a number of jobs now under contract. H. H. Fay Sells Home H. H! Fay, the local agent for the Standard Oil company, has just dis posed of his Green street home, only recently purchased from the estate of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Howe Miss Maud Curr is the new owner and possession will be given about October In the meantime Miss Curr has been given the use of a suite of rooms in the house, where die will hereafter be found by her pupils in her class of music. Entertained Five Hundred Club Mrs. P. H. Weber very pleasantly entertained the members of the West Side Five Hundred Card club at her home on Main street last Monday evening. After several games of five hundred had been played prizes were awarded to Mrs. Henry Antholtz and Mrs. James Revor. At the close of the evening delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Are Enjoying Day's Picnic Members of McHenry lodge, No. 158, A. F. & A. M., of this village, together with their wives and members of their families, are spending the day picnicing at Delavan Lake, Wis. The party, numbering about 100 people, left via automobile early this morning and intend spending the entire day at the Wisconsin summer resort. - , Can! of Thanks We wish in this manner to,express oar thanks for the assistance tendered Us during our recent sad bereavement as well as to the donors of flowers. Mrs. EDsn A. Ensign and Children. Dr. Wladanller Oat Fsr While Atty. James McCauley tlas Eyes en State's Attorneyship A service ticket, made up of men who served in the United States army during the late war, is the very latest political news. - That such a ticket will be in <the field was made a certainty this wtek, when Atty. James J. McCauley of Woodstock announced himself a candidate for the office of state's attorney and will make the run against the present incumbent, Atty. V. S. Lamley. The four offices that become vacant this year are coroner, surveyor, circuit clerk and state's attorney. With the exception of surveyor all of the offices will be contested. For the office of coroner Edward H. Cook of Huntley was the first to announce himself. His announcement is followed by that of Dr. Emil Windmueller of Woodstock, the latter a service man.' Volney E. Brown and Charles F. Hayes, the latter a service man, will each make a strong bid for the circuit clerkship, which office for many terms has been held by Theodore Hamer. Atty. James J. McCauley, also a service man, will oppose Atty. V. S. Lumley in the race for the state's attorneyship. Thus it will be seen that the county offices, at least, in the September primaries will be fought for by men who have served their country as members of the army during the late war and from what The Plaindealer Is able to gather these men are sure to receive a splendid endorsement from the voters of this great county on the fifteenth day of next September. The last of the service men to make a public announcement, Atty. James J. McCauley, volunteered his services shortly %ifter our country declared war against Germany and for two years served as a member of the U. S. navy. Since returning home from active service about a year ago he has maintained an office at Woodstock for the practice of his profession, in which he is said to be quite successful. Charles F. Hayes,/'who will make a bid for the job of circuit clerk as an opponent to Volney E. Brown, is also a Woodstock young man, altho his boyhood days were spent at Harvard. He entered the service of his country early in 1917 and accompanied his unit overseas in the early*spring of 1918. While in action with his regiment in the great Somme offensive he was severely wounded, a part of his right shoulder and arm having been torn away by an enemy shell. After many months in the army hospitals both in France and England he was finally sent home, where he was given his honorable discharge. Only partial use of his right arm has been Restored. Dr. Emil Windmueller, who has announced himself a candidate for the office of county coroner, also served his country during the late war, having been connected with the medical corps, and saw service in some of the largest and most important hospitals in France. He is, without doubt, one of the best known and most successful of the county's practicing physicians and that he will receive a big vote at the primaries is assured. Will Build Home tfi. Erickson, proprietor of a genstore in the Stuff el block on the West Side, has just purchased of Postmaster E. E. Bassett the lot, together with the barn, just back of the latter's Main street residence. The barn will be moved back some distance and will face Waukegan street, where same is to be converted into a modern hoine at once. Excavation for the new residence has already been started and work on the structure will be rushed with all possible haste, as it is Mr. Erickson's intention to move into same early in October. E. G. Peterson has the carpenter contract, while the McHenry Artificial Stone company will do the mason work, including the kellastone finish. Entertains Jolly Sixteen Hie members of the Jolly Sateen club were entertained by Mrs. Simon Michels at her home on Water street on Thursday afternoon of last week. Five hundred was enjoyed for a few hours and prizes were awarded as follows: First, Miss Kathryn Weber; second, Miss Gertrude Weber; third, Mrs. Simon Michels. This was followed by the serving of delicious refreshments. Nelson Quincy Ensign, mention of whose demise was made in these columns in our last issue, and which occurred at his late home on Fourth street on Wednesday evening of last week, had pot been well and was under the care of local physicians for nearly two months prior to his death, a complication of diseases together with a weakened system brought on by his advanced age taking him from this scene of action to the great unknown. At his bedside when the end came were his wife and son, Franklin. The deceased, the only son of David C. and Hester Ann Ensign, was born in the old home in Nunda township, three and one-half miles southeast of this village, on March 16, 1850. After he had been at home and attended, the local school until about sixteen years of age he was taken by his father to New York state, where he attended high school. At the expiration of this time he* was licensed to teach school and spent four years at this occupation, teaching part of the time in Iowa. Dec. 26, 1874, he was joined in marriage to Ellen A. Bijgham. The following spring this couple took up their residence at the old home and have lived there ever since until they removed to this village a few months ago. To this home were born four children, Arthur B., who died at the age of twenty-seven; Chas. S., who resides with his family south of this village; Franklin M., who lives at Crystal Lake, and David William, who is a private in the regular U. S. army. He was a member of the local Methodist church and was a respected citizen of long standing in this community. The funeral services were held from the Methodist church on Fi^iday afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. Samuel J. Harrison, pastor, officiating. Burial was in Woodland cemetery. The friends and neighbors extend to the near relatives their sincere sympa thy in this hour of loss. - i COOLEY SELLS TO FARMERS McHENRY BUSINESS GOES COUNTY ORGANIZATION TO Complete Pretty Hone at Bay E.

McDONA&D V Passed Away at the Home of Brother Sunday Noon His OPENING OF CAMPAIGN Drive For Funds For New Choreh to Start Next Saturday Charles McDonald passed away at the home of his brother, Lewis, who resides west of this village, last Sunday noon. On Mf y 8 he came to this vicinity for a visit in the home of his brother and during that same night he was taken sick with diphtheria, which proved to be a very severe attack. After four weeks in quarantine his condition seemed to be improving and he was allowed to be out of door, but soon he felt a weakness growing upon him, which later proved to have been the first stages of diphtheria paralysis. During the past five weeks his case baffled local physicians and he died seemingly without effort to resist the passing. Charles Ralph McDonald, the second of four children of Steven and Edith McDonald, was born in Nunda township on August 25, 1890. The first ten years of his life were spent in that community. He attained his early training in the public schools of Crystal Lake. Ho remained at home and worked on the farm near Crystal Lake until about three years ago, when he went to Racine, Wis., and entered the employ of the Racine rubber factory. He is survived by his father, who resides at Bangor, Mich.; one brother, Lewis, of West McHenry, and one sister, Mrs. Arthur Whitney of Libertyville. The funeral was conducted from the home of his brother on Tuesday afternoon of this week. Rev. Samuel J. Harrison of the Methodist church officiating. Interment was made in the Crystal Lake cemetery. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the people of tills, community. Left Far Oregon Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Fay, who during the past year have made their home at Elgin, left this week for Oregon, in which 'state they have land interests. Their visit to the coast at this time, we are informed, is for the purpose of looking after their interests and disposing of same if possible. Mrs. Fay, better known locally as Kate Howe, has taught school at Elgin during the past season. She has also sold her home on Fox river north of this village. Card of Thanks. In this public manner we wish to express our sincere thanks to the kind neighbors and friends for the many acts of kindness shown us during the past illness and after the death of our beloved spn and brother. Especial thanks are extended to those who donated flowers and gave the use of their automobiles at the funeral. Steven McDonald. Mr. and Mrs. Louis McDoaald. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Whitney.

Cooley has been successful in the disposal- of his feed and implement business on the West Side, the new owners being the McHenry County Farmers' Cooperative association, the deal causing the transfer of the business and property having been consummated on Friday of last week. Hie McHenry county farmers, who have been in the process of thoro organization for the past year or two, have for some time past planned on just such a step as they have now taken and, while the purchase of the McHenry business is their first big action along this particular line, it has been hinted that the scheme is to be made a general one thruout the entire county, thus it is only fair to assume that the association will not stop with the purchase of w McHenry plant The men who are really responsible for the transfer made here last week and who are made up of some of the locality's best and most successful fanners will remain in charge of the property until such time as the new proposition is thoroly organized and this will not come to pass until officers and directors have been elected. Those who appear in a position to know inform us that it is the plan of the association to interest as many of the farmers as possible thruout the entire county. A partial canvass of these men has already been made, with the result that quite a number have already agreed to take stock in the venture, and this summer it is hoped that not less than 500 farmers will soon become financially and morally interested in an organization that gives promise of developing into one of the biggest and strongest enterprises in the county. According to plans already formulated, the main headquarters of the association will be located at Woodstock, from which place the activities of the McHenry plant as well as others that may be purchased or established in the future will be directed. It will bo remembered by our readers that only a short time ago a livery barn was purchased at Woodstock by the farmers residing near that city and this, in all likelihood, will eventually be a part of the property owned by the Farmers' Co-operative association. Then, too, rumor has it that a station may be established at Harvard and other points in the county where farmers show sufficient interest in the scheme to warrant the undertaking. a * Such organize Ans are not new as in a number of the counties of the state the scheme has been thoroly tried out and has proven one of the best things that has come to the tillers of soil in recent years. * Locally and in McHenry county cooperative buying among farmers is practically a new venture, but those who have taken the initiative in the movement are confident that the results to be obtained thru such organization will be fully as successful as it has proven to be in other counties where the new way of doing business has long since passed the experimental stage. Among the local farmers who were instrumental in putting over the deal of last week were John M. Phalin, W. E. Whiting, Frank H. Wattles, C. W. Page, C. E. Sherman, Stephen H. Freund, Anton Schmitt and Chas. W. Gibbs. County Soil Advisor A. J. Gafke of Woodstock was also on hand and aided very materially in closing .up the deal, which was the, biggest ever pulled off in McHenry These farmers, together with Mr. Gafke, F. A. Cooley and his employes, set out to take an inventory of the stock and equipment on Monday morning of this week and by late Tuesday afternoon the big tagk had been completed. Thus the fanners have taken over the local business, which temporarily, at least, will be carried on by the same help which has for a long time proven so valuable to F. A. Cooley & Son. The employes are Peter J. Doherty, Wm- Stoffel and Job Vasey. Mr. Doherty is probably one of the best posted feed men in the township and his services to his employers have been invaluable in the past, while Mr. Stoffel cannot be surpassed when it comes to knowledge of farm implements and machinery. Altho Mr. Vasey has been employed at the place only a short length of time, he has already proven his worth as a dependable and painstaking workman. Mr. Cooley has always considered himself very fortunate in having such exceptionally good help and he frankly admits that his success in the business is partially due to the ability of these men. Whether or not any or all of them will be retained by the new organization remains to be seen, but it appears So encouraging has been the general attitude towards the building of a new church in St. Patrick's parish that it has been thought advisable to open the drive for funds on next Saturday evening. An entertainment' and sociable will be held on the lawn of the rectory and during the evening it is hoped that considerable of an impetus will be giv^n the movement by the pledging of sums of money towards the church building fund. A number of committees have been appointed for the furthering of the enterprise, which on this occasion has been entrusted to the men exclusively. The present church was built in 1853, additions being built in 1872 and 1888, each addition coating around $2000.00. In 1915 approximately $1000.00 was spent on necessary repairs. The parish has prospered since the early dayB and the descendartts of the pioneer families are today planning a church commensurate with the growth of the parish and its increased prosperity. The general public is invited to the sociable Saturday evening, July 17, at 8:15 o'clock on the rectory lawn. The occasion wifl mark the beginning of a new era in the parish history and will in its results be a source of joy and pride to pastor and people, who have experienced the closest harmony and co-operation in the five years of the former's ministry in St. Patrick's. TO TOUft EUROPE t McHenry physician and fta Battle Fields Dr. D. G. Wells and son, Glenn, will leaye this village for Montreal, Canada, next Monday, from which city they will sail for England. They expect to board the Megantic, one of the finest of the White Star line boats at Montreal on Friday evening, July 23. After a three days' trip down the St Lawrence river the boat will take to the big water and will land at Liverpool on August 1. The trip will be in the form of a vacation as well as sight seeing expedition and their passports call for their admission into Great Britain, France, Belgium, Switzerland ' and Italy, all of .which countries they expect to visit during their six weeks' stay abroad. They will visit piacaa of Hm .mnffc importance in the countries above named, including the battle fields which have been made memorable during the late war. As is only natural, the local physician also expects to visit the big hospitals. % A Classy Event Hie cotillion and carnival daitee, given under the auspices of the McHenry Post, No. 491, American Legion, last evening proved one of the most novel as well as the classiest dancing event ever held in the township. A cotillion leader of Chicago, who is also the maker of favors of all descriptions, was especially engaged for the special occasion and those who were present declare this (Thursday) morning that the event will be the talk of the community for a long time to come. The event was attended<4>y about 125 couples. Next Sunday at Methodist Church "A Man's Wealth" will be the subject of the pastor's sermon next Sunday morning at 11:00 a. m. Sunday school will be held at 10:00 o'clock. Come to a friendly church and worship with us. Samuel J. Harrison, Pastor. Given Ringwood Contract The McHenry Artificial Stone coailpany has been awarded the mason contract for the large new bungalow to be erected on the Wm. Dodge farm near Ringwood. Work on the place will begin at once. " . He of the them will be wanting for a job when the time arrives for hiring help by the Co-operatiVe association. To Mr. Cooley and his son belongs the credit of establishing a feed business in McHenry second to none in the county and while our people as well as the patrons of the place were sorry to learn of their decision to leave this community they may rest assured that the business will be carried on along the same substantial lines as it has in the past, the only difference being that the farmers themselves, or at least those who see fit to purchase stock in the concern, will be financially interested, and therefore will be kept in closer relationship thereto than heretofore. Just how long it will be before sufficient stock has been sold to insure the application of a state charter and the subsequent permanent organization depends on the success of the canvassers. According to soma of the more enthusiastic men, who are already affiliated with the association, they should be ready for suph action within the course of the next two weeks, after which Tlie Plaindealer hopes to give a mere definite account future plans of the organixa- ITEMS OF LOCAL DRBEST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WEEK What People Are Doing In This Vil*» lage aad the Immediate Vicinity-- Other Short Paragraphs Hosiery and underwear at son's.
