W. Gibbs on Woodstock road southwest of this village. The party, which numbered more than fifty, included friends from Chicago, Whiting, Ind., Elgin, Woodstock, Crystal Lake as Well as home town friends and neighbors of the Gibbs family. t On the arrival of the guests at the front gate a sign, lighted bjr jack-o'- lanterns, lead, "Follow the Rope," which lead thru dark pathways to the rear entrance leading to the basement.. There they were met by a weird ghost and "woe" to the guest who did not grasp her clammy hand -held rigid. Here they were pointed the way to the basement, where, after stumbling over all manner of obstacles, they found the entrance to the upper floor and again were beckoned to the upstairs, from whence they emerged in costume and were ushered thru the darkened rooms into the living room, where many of the guests v ere not identified until after the unmasking. Orange and black gave the living rooms a "spooky" appearance, appropriately decorated with black cats, witches, lighted pumpkins, autumn foliage and corn stalks. A few belated guests lost the trail and were rescued from the potato bin and fruit container in the cellar by the host after desperate attempts to find the stairs leading from the basement. The guests enjoyed a lively evening. Special delight was taken in the game where .the "ghost's remains" were passed around the circle, many of the timid ones flinching at the touch of brains, eyes and ears. Before unmasking the judges awarded prizes to Mr. and Mrs. Earl McAndrews for the most attractive costumes. Other prizes were awarded Miss Ellen Walsh, Wm. Buttner and Walter Robison. Much of the success of this event is due to Miss Florence Muldoon of Whiting, Ind., who, as a guest in the home, recently discovered that it would be an ideal place for a Hal 1 owe'en party as foretold. After unmasking a cafeteria lunch eon was served in the spacious kitchen. Dainty nut cups and caps in the Hallowe'en colors were given as favors. The menu consisted of pumpkin pie, doughnuts, sandwiches, coffee and sweet cider. The guests were loud in tije praises of the hostess and her clever assistants and found the evening altogether too short for the gay celebration of Hallowe'en. BIG ARMISTICE CELEBRATION At American Legion Hall Here Next j Night # V Of the thirty-one schools of the state which failed to open for one reason or another, one is located at Fremont Center, Lake county. The offer of $100 per month as made by the board of directors of that district seems to have failed to attract teacher. . A Barrington widow advertised for a man in the home paper a short time ago and as a result of the advertise ment she is now happily married, the wedding occurring on Tuesday of last week. F. C. Becker of Crytsal Lake .saw, read and answered the adver tisement. Mrs. Wm. Swarts passed away at her late home at Crystal Lake a week ago last Saturday afternoon from ex posure to the elements. The deceased, supposedly suffering from a mental attack, arose some time dur ing the night preceding her death and after wandering about the lower end of town was found early the next morning sitting in the water at the edge of the lake. Every medical attention was given her in a futile effort to save her life. Last week's Grayslake Times was to a rejoicing mood over the eomple tion of the new cement highway just south of that village. While the east end of the Waukegan-Volo road is new completed and will probably be thrown open to public travel, the west end (the Volo end) is still uncompleted and it now looks as if the job will not be finished this year.

Miaees Adele Heimer and Mildred Welch acted as chaperons. Expounds Irish Question The Irish question, which for many months past has been more or Jess a topic of general conversation ilk this county, was expounded at the Knights of Columbus hall last Thursday even- The speaker, a Chicago priest, handled the subject" with ungloved hands and from the manner in which he was applauded at the conclusion of his address we would venture a guess that his audience coincided with him. Musical numbers also assisted in making the event an "enjoyable one for those in attendance. The Progressive Twelve The Progressive Twelve, a newly formed card club, held its initial meeting with Miss Theresa Freund at her home on Maple avenue on Wednesday afternoon of this week and if the first party may be taken as a criterion many happy events are in store for the members of the club during the coming months. Prizes were awarded as follows: First, Mrs.. J. W. Rothermel; second Mrs. J. E. Behlke, third, Mr*. Geo. Bohr. The club will meet every two weeks. EaJoying Fkrfida ••><. - Alfred J.

Class of €5 Candidates la Given Degrees by Team From Carroll Court, Chicago--Banquet ' Joyce Kilmer court, No. 673, is* the name and number of the local organization of the Daughters of Isabella, which saw its birth in McHenry last Sunday afternoon, thus giving this village the distinction of being the first place in McHenry county to welcome this organization, which is an auxiliary to the Knights of Columbus. It was thru the untiring efforts of Miss Elisabeth K. Miller of this village, who for some time past has been a member of Carroll court in Chicago, that the local branch was made a possibility. To Miss Miller belongs the credit of having solicited and signed up the sixty-five members which constitute the McHenry organisation and this remarkable achievement was hers after only a trifle over two. weeks' work. The initiation, election of officers and installation of same all took place at the K. of C. hall last Sunday afternoon. A team from Carroll court, Chicago, headed by Anna McCarthy, worthy grand matron, and Mayme Donohue. who is the district deputy, had charge of the work and with the assistance of their staff exemplified the first and second degrees in a manner which was declared to have be?i the finest wflrtc ever Men outside of Chicago. At the conclusion of the degree work the following officers were elected and installed: Worthy grand regent, Elisabeth K. Miller; vice worthy grand regent, Clara V. Stoffel; prophetess, Eleanor Phalin; historian, Mary Burke; financial secretary, Eva Stilling; treasurer, Lenora Freund; monitor, Eleanor McGee; sentinel, Emma Thelen; organist, Dorothy Knox; trustees for three years, Mabel Donavin, Katherine Gibbs; two years, Florence Carey, Vera Bolger; * one year, Marguerite Knox, Mary Bonslett; chaplain, Rev. M. J. McEvoy. At the close of the installation the entire assemblage, including the McHenry members as well as the visitors, gathered at J us ten's hotel, ,where an elaborate banquet was enjoyed. The dining hall and tables were prettily decorated in Hallowe'en colors and the place presented a most inviting appearance to say the least. The following menu was served: Fruit cocktail, roast beef, roast veal, brown gravy, mashed potatoes, French peas, mixed pickles, combination salad, sliced tomatoes, ice cream, cake, coffee. The after dinner program was highly enjoyable, with Rev. M. J. McEvoy, the popular pastor of St. Patrick's church, officiating in the capacity of toastmaster. The first number on the program was a solo by Miss Mary Moritz of Chicago, who is already too well known to most of our people for us to offer an introduction. Her selection was thoroly enjoyed and warmly applauded. Mary Spehn, national director of Chicago, made the address of welcome to the new members which now constitute the McHenry organiEation and her pleasing remarks were received with a spirit so characteristic of McHenry. Mayme Donohue, state advocate, responded to her name be giving the new members instructions and advice, which should prove inspiring Impromptu talks, which in most cases were short, but to the point, were also offered by Helen McLaughlin, state treasurer and a member of Marquette court of Chicago; Mrs. Larkin, worthy grand refcent of Carroll court; Mrs. J. J. Groetken, worthy grand regent of Aurora. Mrs. Larkin gave a short synopsis of the origin of the McHenry county court and concluded her remarks by extending to the McHenry members a standing invitation to visit their court at any time they might happen to be in Chicago. Another number of the program, one worthy of special mention, was the expressive (?) solo by Anna O'Neil of Chicago Covers were laid for 107 and guests present to participate in the afternoon's work as well as the banquet came from Chicago, West Chicago, Aurora and Whiting, Ind. The Daughters of Isabella is a e#m» paratively new organization, having been formed in the east in 1903 However, the order l^s seen a won derful growth during the past few years, an til now new courts are springing up weekly thruout the cen tral west, and the organization gives promise of developing in membership to compare in strength with that of the Knights of Columbus.

The "dough boys" are just as enthusiastic over the coming affair and probably ever more' so than is the general public, as they are anxious for the time to arrive when they will be given an opportunity to show the people of this community how well they c*n entertain. The invitation is extended to everyone, hoth young and old, and all who turn out are assured of one of the finest times of their lives.

P. BIG VOTE Fraade, Wetes and Pierce Are Winitem In Race For Representative**-- Graham Ovt The voters of the town of McHenry, in common With those of the solid northern states, on Tuesday of this week said a most emphatic NO to the League of Nations in its present form and thereby assisted in making possible one of the biggest Republican landslides in the history of the country. What was true of McHenry was true of the county as Well as our great state of Illinois. While the more conservative voters of the township had looked for a big Republican victory, we are unable to find a man or woman who had predicted such a vote as was accorded tfc* winners te Tuesday. Here in McHenry township, which only four years ago gave Wilson and the Democratic party a handsome plurality, this year comes forward with an overwhelming endorsement for Harding and the Republican party. A careful perusal of the compilation of the vote as registered in the three precincts of McHenry township, which is herewith produced, mil be interesting. First, it shows that the voting of straight tickets was quite general; it also shows the small vote registered in favor of the Democratic ticket and last, but not least, gives in detail oar contribution to the splendid Republican victory. Precinct No. !, (Ringwood) as will be aeen by the tabulated unofficial returns, gave Harding 241 and Cox 6 votes; precinct No. 2 (village hall) Harding, 296, Cox, 19; No. 3, (Colby building) Harding, 240, Cox, 43, McHenry also gave our own candidate, Charles H. Francis of Woodstock, a splendid lead over the other four men. Graham, the Democratic candidate, made his best showing in the third precinct, where he was accorded a total of 314 votes, leading Francis, his nearest opponent, by over 100 votes. 1st Pet. . .-£41 2nd Pet. 296 \ 8rd Pet 240 48 Tatal . 777 68 The Biggeat Deal The Plaindealer is this week to ceipt of a circular ^describing the Ainslie apartment hotel, which is to be erected in Chicago by a corporation headed by M.

Among others interested in the deal and whose name is very familiar in McHenry is Sidney Smith, Chicago Tribune cartoonist, whose summer home is located at Howell's Villas on Fox river near this village. Stocks on the hotel property are now being offered for sale by the above named gentlemen and anyone interested may secure additional information by addressing M. A.

November Milk $1M Members of the Milk Producers' association will receive $3.05 per hun dred for milk delivered to the various bottling plants thruout this territory during the month of November. Thi8 is a drop of 66c under that paid during October. While farmers weren't overjoyed over the new price as announced by the association, they must be satisfied for a month at least and in the meantime officials of their association will strive hard to bring about a better price for the December _d©- livery. . • Guests of Woodstock Can# Responding to invitations which had previously been extended, twentythree members of Riverview camp, R.
