Never before )h the history of the game has Dunfea oitertained audi a crowd at a ball ' fame. Elgin won the game by a Hlount of 7 to 4. According to the Waukegan Daily §aa, the establishment of the $15,000,- 400 plant of the Johns-Manville company just north of that city will mean the birth of a new city, to be known x at Manville. To make this a possibility, the company, it is said, has established a camp near the site of eperatioos, where two hundred workmen empiofad by them are now making their bouse. The men are now . quartered there. The big company trill mi*ij at least 3,000 men when |n full operation, which it is hoped will W within the course of the next two DEPARTMENT WANTS TRUCK Faada Far Same to Bb Rshed By Pap. alar Sebacrlptiee 'k; • Caa#er'a CoUa Casper's Colts mauled the McHenry Jfi. of C. team for a 14 to 9 victory |ast Sunday.

Chaagea Jobs' "'; : iJ Donald (3ivens has given «p his position with the Wilbur Lumber cem- " pany and is now employed in the flour and feed mill conducted on the West |3ide by the McHenry County Farm era' Co-operative association, having started work there «a Monday morning of this The newly organized McHenry fire department wants an automobile truck and equipment and in order that the best and most efficient service may be given this proposed acquisition must be forthcoming. ~ The village treasury at this time will not allow the investment and, knowing this to be a fact, a ffcw of our progressive citizens have set oat to raise enough money by popular subscription to buy the needed truck and equipment. According to the plans now being perfected a regular drive will be put on in the village at some near future date, at which time it is hoped suf ficient money will be raised to allow the department and the village to go ahead and make the purchase that will give McHenry as good a fire fighting equipment as is generally found in municipalities the size of ours. The proposed truck and equipment, we are told, will not cost to exceed from $1,000 to $1,200 and judging from past experiences it looks as if the amount can be raised. A properly equipped fire department is a valuable asset to any city or town. It not only gives one reasonable assurance against damage by fire, but also serves to lower the rate of fire insurance, and taking these things into consideration we believe that our people, if they so see fit, will be making a very wise investment by a liberal contribution" towards the fund to be raised. The men who are back of the venture expect every property owner to contribute towards this fund and if this is done the new equipment will be assured. A number of our business men and private "property owners have been heard to express themselves as favorable to such a movement, which already has the stamp of approval of our* village board, and now that the ball has been started a-rolling let everyone get back of the venture and help push same to a succeesful conclusion. ^ "FINE FEATHERS" COMING Ta $e Jfreeented H<«* ea Mfladtay • :^'^vv;lEvealBg, Oct. 4 • The seat sale for "Fine Feathers," to be presented at the Empire theatre here under the auspices of the McHenry business men on Monday evening, Oct. 4, opened most auspiciously last Saturday morning and since then a large number of tickets have been sold. "Fine Feathers" is probably the most elaborate stage production that has ever been booked for this village and the business men, who are sponsoring four fall and winter entertainments for this village, fed fortunate indeed in having been able to list this high-class attraction for our village. The play is in four acts and ran six months straight at the As tor theatre in New York city afcd three months in Chicago. Theatre goers of McHenry and vicinity are sure to take advantage of this high-class attraction, thus it will be well to secure your seats early and thus assure yourself a good seat. Tickets as placed on tale are selling at $1.50 for adults and $1.00 for children. Entertained Social Wheel Mrs. J. F. Miller entertained the members of the. Social Wheel at her home at Rosedale last Thursday aft* ernoon. The meeting was very well attended and an exceptionally pleasant time prevailed.

The casting of ballots began last Sunday evening and will continue until Saturday night of this week, when same will be counted and sent to New York city. Altho jwh a thing is new in McHenry, many of our people are iaking an interest in the vote and J. W. Smith, owner of the Empire, hoper that by Saturday night the box will contain several hundred ballots. The local balloting is being conducted with the co-operation of a representative of The Plaindealer together with a committee of two, one a Republican and the other a Democrat. This committee will also supervise the checking of returns. Considerable interest is also being manifested by the newly enfranchised women voters, Mr. Smith informs us. In a statement outlining the method of procedure, he said: "The straw ballot forms are being handed to theatre patrons when they purchase their tickets. They are asked to fill them out and place the ballot into the large ballot box which will be found on the right hand side of the lobby as you enter the theatre. We are exercising special care to see that the ballots do-not fall into the hands of non-voters, and also to the end that there will be no 'repeating.' Children or youths under age and aliens are not being given the ballots of course. After the local returns have been totaled and classified the results will immediately be made known to the local newspaper and to the Associated First National headquarters in New York. The results from other cities in the various states of the union will likewise be promptly sent to the straw ballot headquarters in New York. From New York we will start to get the results for this state and finally tor the nation. In the early part of October we expect to (earn from this straw vote just how the presidential election will go in November and also the public attitude on the league of nations, light winea and beer and woman suffrage." Thus the entire thing is fully explained by Mr. Smith and one can see the importance of such a vote. Of course, moat of us are eager to know just how the November election will torn out and you will be given an opportunity to learn this by cal'ing at the Empire and voting one of the ballots. The ballots ask you to express your preference as to the two candidates for president, Harding and Cox, and also to vote for or against the following three propositions: The League of Nations, Light Wines and Beer and Woman's Suffrage. Reports from other eities"are to the effect that nation wide interest is being taken and the men and women of McHenry and vicinity are sure to take advantage of this opportunity to express themselves on these important issues. Call at the theatre any time HI»i look over one of the ballots and have the vote more thoroly explained to you. A Birthday Surprise In honor of his twenty-ninth birthday anniversary, a company of his relatives and fHends tendered George Young a very pleasant surprise at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John B.

' * A|tother step towards the improvement of river front property along the Fox in the vicinity of McHenry was taken last week, when it became known that a company, headed by J C. Holly of this village, had purchased from P. J. Cleary forty : cres of land abounding the east shore of Fox river just below Emerald Park. Work has already started on improving the river fruitage and by next spring the purchasers hope to have the property all ready to btoffered for sale. "live improvement already under way is the cleaning up of the river frontape. When this has been done and the lowlands filled' in the property will present one of the prettiest sights along the course of the Fox in summer resort region. According to the plans the entire strip is to be laid out in lots and sold to those desiring same. The 1250 foot river frontage will be reserved for park purposes for those who may purchase^ lots there in the future. Thus there will be none of the water frontage sold. The strip extends from the river to the main river road and the purchasers expect to have approximately 150 lots for sale. A roadway will be laid out and the lots so arranged as to make the site one of the most desirable yet offered for summer resort purposes. The cleaning up and filling in of the shore lines will give the place one of the finest beaches to be found along our beautiful river and the reservation of the entire water frontage for park purposes should make the place one of unusual beauty as well as very desirable" for the purpose for which it is intended. As stated many times in dm columns of The Plaindealer, Fox river in the vicinity of McHenry offers one of the real beauty spots of the central west and more people are beginning to realize this fact as time goes on. Mr. Holly, when interviewed by a Plaindealer reporter the first of the week, appeared highly elated over the success of his company in being able to secure this tract, which in years to come is sure to prove very valuable. The lots are sure to sell rapidly when onee laid out and offered for saljpt. , Last Game of Seaasa Tlie McHenry fans will be their last opportunity of the season to watch the McHenry baseball team in action next Sunday afternoon, when the locals will meet the Cary team for the second time this season. The previous meeting, between these two teanfs took place on the local diamond on Aug. 22, at which time the' visitors were returned the winners by a scoce of 9 to 6. The McHenry team has improved wonderfully since that time and the home crew expects to slip one over on the visitors next Sunday. TTie net proceeds of this, the season's final game, will be turned over into the fund which is being gathered for the purpose of purchasing an artificial limb for Wirth Woodburn. Admission, ^50 cents; war tax, 5 cents; total, 56 cents. Gam* called at 2:30< o'clock.

John Maurice Grimes, who was pastor a short time last spring, will again resume his work here at that time. Yoh will find that Mr. Grimes makes your coming worth while in giving you his splendid talks. During the summer he has been temporary pastor of the St. Paul Universalist church in Chicago. We are indeed fortunate in having a man fitted for such a fine position in our community. The Sunday school will again take up its work of religious education on October 3. We want all the children we can get. Come all ye people p.nd make our first Sunday an inspiration to our pastor and fellowmen. Sunday school at 10:00 a. m. and diurch serviess at 11:00 o'clock. St. Patricia Court to Move St. Patricia court, W. C. O. F., of St. Patrick's church held its regular meeting in the Forester hall pn Washington street last Saturday. After the regular routine of business had been disposed of a few social hours were passed at card playing followed by refreshments. This was the last meeting at this hall and hereafter the court will hold its sessions at K. of C. hall. Out of town guests at the meeting last Saturday were Mrs. Ed. Malone of Elgin, Misses Nellie and Lois Courtney of Wauconda and Misses Mae and Anna McCaffee of Chicago. A most delightful occasion is the verdict of those present. Return Home From Europe Dr. D. G. Wells and son, Glena. "W., returned home from a six weeks' tour of Europe last Thursday evening. During their stay abroad they visited England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. Needless to say that the trip *a4 thoroly;. enjoyed. ' g MflGIT AT CRYSTAL LAKE FARMERS TAKE ANOTHER &U&- QtBSS ENTERPRISE PWdttas* Kegebein & Miller Feed Mill and Coal Sheds--Are Now Selling $20,000 Worth of Stock A deal was put over at ^Crystal Lake on Monday of this week whereby several of the influential farmers of that locality purchased the building and stock of Kegebem 4 Miller, feed, coal and building material dealers of that city. Immediately after the deal was closed the men who have taken the initiative in the matter set out to sell $20,000 worth of stock among the farmers of the locality and just as soon as this is done the business will be taken over by the county organization known as the McHenry County Co-operative Farmers' association, which already owns the McHenry feed mill as well as an elevator at Woodstock. We are told that the farmers down Crystal Lake way are showing considerable interest in the new venture and, according to our informant, those in command down there expect to experience very little difficulty in selling the desired amount of stock. The farmers everywhere thruout the entire county are rapidly coming to see the advantage of co-operative buying and selling and from present indications it looks as if it will only be a short time before the majority of them will b£ listed among the membership of the county organization. Altho the deal over at Harvard has not as yet been put over, the organization has not given up hope of getting into that city. An old malt house has been considered, but an investigation of the place found it to be wanting. The farmers have one or two other places in view in that city and in case their efforts to land them fail it iB more than likely that a building will be erected at that point. At the Crystal Lake plant, we are informed, the business will be carried on along the same lines as those followed by the Crystal Lake firm. This means, the handling of seeds, grains, feeds, coal and building material with the exception of lumber. With the McHenry plant going at full capacity we will be able to supply the entire county with dairy, hog, horse and poultry feeds, while Crystal Lake will undoubtedly furnish the coal and building material supply, and the Woodstock plant the seed supply. The new organization is getting under way in fine shape and in the course of another year the association should have expanded in such a manner as to be in a position to servo every farmer and dairyman in McHenry county. Carp Seiners Quit Pond Ben Stilling and his gang of carp seiners made their last haul in the waters of the mill pond last Saturday afternoon and the outfit since then hastheen moved to Pistakee lake and bay, where the fall seining will be carried on until the freeze-up. The mill pond experiment proved a big disappointment to Mr. Stilling, as he failed to get back as many carp as he had planted in that body of water two years ago. The men not only experienced hard luck with their net on account of numerous snags, but were also seriously handicapped in their work of landing the fish on account of the the creek whieh feeds the pond from the west. Many of the carp, it it said, found their way into this creek and thereby escaped the fishermen's nets. It is not likely that Mr. Stilling will ever plant another carp in this body of water as it has proven rather expensive to refish them. Two Dances at Nell's Two more dances are advertised for Nell's Columbia park pavilion for the evenings of Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. On account of the pariah dance at Johnsburg the regular weekly dance at Nell's will not be held on Sept. 29. Mack's four-piece orchestra of Wcjpdstock will furnish the music for the two coming Saturday night dances and the usual good time is assured those who attend. The regular prices will prevail. All are invited. Harvest FeJtival JJ" A harvest festival and ham ^t§ie dance will take place at the parish hall at Johnsburg on next Wednesday evening, Sept. 29. Everyone is expected to oome in their old clothes and for a general good time. All of the old dances will be played, together with die new, thus giving old and young an equal opportunity to enjoy the festive occasion. A cordial invitoi^ on^is extended to everyone to be Variety CMk A very delightful time was had by the members of the Variety club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Stilling at Orchard Beach, on Fox river north of this village, last Thursday evening. Five hundred was the game indulged in and prizes were awarded to Mrs. S. S. Rogers and P. M. Justen for high and the consolations to Mr. and Mrs.-Geo. H. Johnson. Very delicious refreshments were served at the dose of the games. SEVENTY ENJOY BOAT TRIP McHenry Home Baiaau Proves Fine Hostess % Wednesday, Sept 22, 19^>%ffl go down in the history of the McHenry County Home Bureau as one of the most pleasant occasions ever enjoyed by that body. On this day representatives from ten townships of the county gathered in this village to be guests for the day of the McHenry unit and that all were well repaid for their coming was easily ascertained when the jolly crowd of visitors left town la* evening. The form of entertainment that had been planned and arranged for the home members as well as the victors was a boat trip up Fox river and thence around the lakes. When all had gathered at Hunter's landing at 10:30 yesterday morning it was found that seventy jolly, good natured men And women were present. Two of the Hunter line boats then carried the pleasure-seekers up our beautiful Fox and thenpe into Pistakee lake and bay. A stop was made at the Oak Park hotel at Pistakee, where a picnic dinner Was served and highly enjoyed. After dinner speeches were made by Mrs. Mary B. Dalbey, county home advisor of Woodstock; H. W. Whipple, president of the Soil Improvement association; Mrs. G. A. Miller of Woodstock; Mrs. E. H. Harrison of Hartland; Mrs. H. T. Echtenach of Marengo and Miss Florence E. Collins of Chicago. All of^ the talks were instructive as well as in perfect harmony with the spirit of the day and were thoroly enjoyed. Elgin was represented by Miss Anna H. Markhoff. At the conclusion of the talks the boat ride was resumed thru Pistakee and Fox lakes and thence back home. Burton and Spring Grove won the distinction of having the largest representation. Wednesday was the regular meeting day, for the McHenry unit and as "Landscape Gardening" was to have been discussed, the members thought the boat ride in company with their invited guests would afford just as good a lesson as the discussion itself and at the same time encourage the community spirit That the decision of the McHenry unit was a yme one everyone present will agree, * ITEMS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BY H il IT III If HI -- •BPqBTERS DURING WBOK Arm In Corn The prompt response of the horses attached to a corn binder to the command to "whoa" saved Frank Stock a broken arm if not a more serious injury late last Saturday afternoon. Mr. Stock, who with his brother operates the old homestead northeast of this village, was operating a corn binder when the machine became clogged with weeds and failed to operate. He lfeft his seat and without taking particular notice of the position of the working phrts of the machine he removed the obstruction and commanded the horses to go ahead. Sooner than it takes to tell it his right arm became lodged in the tripper and s carried up against the frame. Realizing that he was unable to extricate himself without assistance, he began shouting for help. Being some distance from the house and barn members of his own family failed to hear and among the neighbors who did hear him they could not understand and took it for granted that someone was calling to the cows or shouting some command to fellow workers. However, as his shouts continued members of the Regner family started out to investigate and thus Frank was found almost an hour after the accident took place. He was soon released. Examination failed to reveal any broken bones, altho the member was terribly squeezed and will keep him laid up for several days. One can easily imagine the pain that he must have suffered dining the hour that he remained pinned to the binder. Benefit Game Todgy Two baseball teams, made up of married business men representing the east and west sides of town, are playing a benefit baseball game at the West Side grounds this (Thursday) afternoon. The net proceeds of the game will be turned into a fund which is being raised for the purpose of purchasing an artificial limb for Wirth Woodburn, who a short time ago underwent an operation at a Hockford hospital whereby his right leg was amputated above Uw knee.
