BAUER TO START CUTTING TOMORROW In sending us a check to be tamed over to the Fox River Valley Deep Waterway association, Mr. Carlton Prouty, whose summer home is located on the east shore of Fox river in the vicinity of the dam, writes us as follows: * 0 WTnnetka, IU., Dec. 28, 1920. Editor McHenry Plaindealer: I have read with interest and approval your ^able articles on the support and repair of the Fox river dam. While admitting that the major share of the cost of maintaining the dam should be borne by the cottagers and summer residents along the river and lakes, nevertheless I submit that it is equally just that the business firms of McHenry and other waterside communities to the north should also sustain a part of this burden. Let these gentlemen for a moment consider just what their several enterprises would be like if their summer trade simply equalled that of the winter. Let the dam go to ruin and the river would be for months at a time a weedy, stagnant creek; the lakes would be pestilent swamps and the connecting channels dry land. Who would care to maintain a waterside cottage under these conditions? Without the Fox river as a deep, the basket ball season.

He emphasized the W '- fact that this site, in full view of the - railroad, would' make an excellent adv vertisement for the city and, as the city already owns property there otter features of athletics and play jjyognds c;trald be developed. Fox River Valley Deep Waterway as sociation will be filled to overflowing, the debts paid and the dam repaired. Mr. Dooley said: "The Americans are the greatest reformers in the world--for short distances only. Accordingly, this matter cannot be corrected, attended to and then forgotten. This is an annual job. Let each cottager remember this when he makes his annual move to Fox river. Enclosed please find my check for 1921 and may I ask you to tarn it over to Mr. Hoy. I will repeat each year and will urge others to do so. In conclusion permit me to say that in my opinion your series of paper articles concerning the dam have been the greatest aid yet given to its permanent preservation. Respectfully yours, Carlton Prouty, Hinkie Lodge, McHenry, 111 If. E. Clemens Farm SnM The H. E. Clemens farm, consisting of 234% acres, and situated about two and one-half miles south of this village, on the Crystal Lake road, was sold last week to Charles W. Buchart, who will be given possession of same on March 1. The farm is one of the largest and best in this locality and for many years has been owned and operated by the late owner, H. E. Clemens, who passed away there quite suddenly only a short time ago. The Clemens family will remain on the place until March 1. No plans as to where the family will reside there after have yet been announced. Now Operator at Empire Cloice Wagner is now the operator at the Empire picture show house in this village, succeeding Leroy Feeseman, who resigned the position last week. Mr. and Mrs. Feeseman have returned to Elgin, from which city they came to this village last sum mer. We are told that Mr. Feeseman has secured his old position in that city. Mr. Wagner has been Employed as apprentice operator by Mr. Smith for several years past and those who are in a position to know inform us that he is in every way capable of holding down the new job. Mrs. Hunter In Hospital Mrs. Everett Hunter is confined in the Lakeside hospital, Chicago, where she underwent quite a serious opera tion on Tuesday of last week. Re ports from her bedside are to the effect that she is now making a very satisfactory recovery from the effects of the operation, altho it will be sev eral weeks before she will be able to return to her home here. Her many McHenry friends sincerely hope for a full recovery of her former good health. # Home From European Tour Arthur Hunter, Sr., recently returned from a few months' tow of Europe, including England, Ireland France and Belgium^ During his stay he visited most of the important battle fields as well as many of the cities which were wholly or partially ruined as the result of the late war. Mr Hunter planned to return home the latter pari of October, but the best he could do was to secure passage on Dec. 8. €E HARVEST STARTS SOON Borden Company Plans to Start Cutting Next Week--May Be Forced to. Engage Foreign Labor Unless unforeseen obstacles step in between now and tomorrow the ice harvesting season is scheduled to begin in McHenry, at least one of the local dealers, Math. Barter, has plan* made to that effect. Mr. Bauer, the local dealer, hopes to begin cutting tomorrow. He will fill the brewery ice house, located on the east end of the mill pond, which place he has leased during the past few years. The east end of the pond was scraped of its coat of snow on Tuesday and the following day the field was marked and the channel leading to the house has been cut. The marking of the field has helped very materially in the growth of the ice and, while the thickness on Wednesday night was only about ten inches, Mr. Bauer hopes that he will be handling at least eleven inch ice by tomorrow morning.' Over on the west side of the pond, the field used by the Borden Milk company, the ice on Wednesday night was only about 8% inches in thickness. The snow on this field was removed on Tuesday, while marking was started Wednesday morning and has been going on ever since. The Borden company hopes to be able to put up twelve inch ice by the time the actual harvest begins, which, it is expected, will be the first of next week. Up to the time of g6ing to press it has not been decided by the Borden company whether they will put up the ice themselves or let out the contract to a company or an individual. Like every other large concern the company will undoubtedly follow the plan which to them appears the most economical. One or two ice harvesting contractors, we are told, have already given out figures which look very tempting and are, it is said, much lower than they themselves can do the work. Just what the demands of the home labor are have not been made public at this time, but if any credence can be placed in rumors the demand will be about the same as last year, when 60c per hour was paid the workmen. With such a large army of unemployed in the larger cities it is easily deducted that the contractors are able to secure help at a much lower figure, at least this deduction is made on recent contract prices that have already been submitted to Borden's as well as a number of the other companies. The Plaindealer sincerely hopes that the local laborers will give the wage matter their just consideration as it would surely be a shame to see the out-of-town laborers given the preference. The ice harvesting season means thousands of dollars to local workmen and the Borden company, we are told, is perfectly willing to pay file same prices as prevail elsewhere for this class of . work, and we believe it would be a very unwise plan to see this money carried out of town by foreign labor, but this very thing is very apt to occur should the demands of local labor be greater than Borden sees fit to meet. SHURTLEFF APPOINTED JUDGE To Succeed Judge Donnelly Who Resigned on Tuesday - State Representative Edward D. Shurtleff of Marengo is the newly appointed judge in the seventeenth judicial district, succeeding the Hon. Charles H. Donnelly of Woodstock, whose resignation was forwarded to Governor Lowden on Tuesday of this week. The retiring judge is rounding out his fourth consecutive term in the office and a more impartial official than he was never seen on the bench. Mr. Donnelly steps out of office with a stainless record and is probably one of the most beloved servants ever to hold office in this great state of ours. May he live long to enjoy the fruits of his labors is the wish that is being expressed by hundreds of his admirers thruout the county and circuit. Mr. Shurtleff, whose appointment becomes effective on January 5, has been a member of the general assembly since 1900 and three times speaker of the house. During his terms at Springfield he has proven himself one of the most capable men ever sent down there from the northern end of the state. The Plaindealer congratulates Mr. Shurtleff on his appointment and can assure the public that no better choice could possibly have been made by Gov. Lowden in filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of our friend, Hon. Charles H. Donnelly of Woodstock. KRAUSE-JOLLY f - ' - t -V Loses Little Finger While attending to his customary duties at the local plant of the Borden Milk company on Tuesday morning of this week, George Buss, one of the company's most valued employes, suffered an accident which cost him the little finger of his left hand. The accident occurred about eleven o'clock when the mitt on the victim's hand was drawn into the driving gear of the washing machine. Before he was able to extricate the hand the small finger was so badly mangled that amputation just below the second joint was found necessary. The hand was also more or less bruised. Dr. D. G. Wells was called into attendance and performed the minor operation. The injury, which caused Mr. Buss much pain from the start, is beginning to mend nicely and it is thought that he will be able to resume work at the plant within the course of the next Urn weeks. * , „ Mrs. Holly Doing Nicely Mrs. J. C. Holly, who was stricken with scarlet fever last week, is reported as doing very nicely at this time. Besides the family physician, a trained nurse is caring for her. The case, we are told, is of a mild form snd with the excellent care she is getting Mrs. Holly should be able to be out within the course of the next five weeks, at least this is the wish of her many friends. Miss Elizabeth Miller Miss Elizabeth Miller passed away at the home of her father, Henry Miller, on Elm street on Monday morning of this week. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church in this village at 10:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week, with in terment in St. Mary's cemetery.

The bride wore a suit of blue with hat and shoes to match. After the wedding the couple re turned to the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. F. G. Spurting, and on Tuesday evening of this week left on an extended wedding trip. The bride is the youngeet daughter of Mrs. Augusta Krause of this village, was born and always resided here. The groom has made' this village his home during the past few years and up until this fall was employed by H. J. Schaffer, the local carpenter contractor. Of late he has been employed in Chicago. He was one of the first of our young men to leave for service three years ago and saw overseas activity. Their numerous friends in and around this village extend congratulations. Made Express Agent His many McHenry friends will be pleased to learn that Wallace Woodburn of Woodstock has recently been made express agent for the Wells Fargo Express company at Youngstown, O., to which city he will move his family from the county seat. Mr. Wood burn was born and raised in this illage and during the years that he has made his home at Woodstock he has been successful in various lines of employment he has followed. His new position, which carries with it a very nice salary, is sure to find him capable in every way to discharge the duties thereto courteously and efficiently. McHenry friends are pleased to send congratulations and their best wishes for success. Entertain West Side Club The West Side Five Hundred Card club was very delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. Henry Antholz on Waukegan street on Monday evening of this week, the occasion being the birthday anniversary of the pleasing hostess. After several games of five hundred had been played it was found that first honors had been won by the hostess, while Mrs. Elizabeth Laures carried away the consolation. Very palatable refreshments were then served the guests. Mrs. Antholz was the recipient of several pretty gifts as mementos of the occasion. Legion Elects New OSc^~ At the annual meeting of the McHenry post.

GREENBERG ef Foraer McHenry Dies Suddenly Husband Girl X. It Was with to feeling of deep regret that the sad nqws announcing the sudden death of Arthur A. Greenberg, who passed away at St. Paul, Minn., on December 10, was received by the many friends of the deceased's wife here. Mrs. Greenberg, before her marriage, was Zue Gallaher, who grew to young womanhood in this village. The deceased was stricken with scarlet fever about ten days before his death at a St. Paul hospital, to which he was taken soon after being stricken, and he apparently was getting on well until the da*y prior to his death, when an infection set in. Mr. Greenberg was united in marriage to Zue Gallaher at Milwaukee, Wis., about seven or eight years ago and shortly after their marriage they moved to St. Paul, Minn., where during the past few years he has held a very fine position as traveling representative of the Webb Publishing company of that city. He is survived by his wife and two sons, aged six and four years respectively. His remains were removed to his former home at Beloit, Wis., where the funeral took place on Dec. 12. Mrs. Greenberg and two sons have accompanied her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Gallaher, also former McHenry residents, to New York City, where they will make their future home. The Gallaher family, it will be remembered, has resided in the eastern metropolis for some time past. McHenry friends extend to the bereaved ones their heartfelt sympathy.

Mr. Whiting started in as repairman at Lake Geneva and continued to fill this position until his recent appointment to the management of the exchange there.

An organization representative enough to carry weight with county, state and federal officials in matters of improvements, concrete roads, bridges, permanent waterways, etc. The initial step to see the pboVe program brought into realization took place in Chicago on Wednesday of this week, when a meeting of some of the most influential men of this summer resort district met at the Illinois Athletic club, and from the report that we have had the program, as printed above, was practically decided on. The district covered takes in Fox river, Pistakee lake and bay, Fox lake, Petite lake, Channel lake, Lake Marie, Grass in fact all of the small lakes tributary to our river. Assurances of co-operation have already been received by the committee of representative men from each of the above named lake resorts and from the enthusiasm that is being displayed it now looks as if our river will eventually represent what its name would imply, a navigable stream The meeting yesterday was for the purpose of reorganizing and the election of new officers, which was done, and it was also decided to call open meeting for some time next MRS.
