The Fairbanks-Morse factory at Ifeloit, Wis., which has been running on half time during the past several months, closed down entirely last week for an indefinite period. In ' normal times the factory gives employment to 3,500 people. Wauconda must be satisfied with but one mail delivery until the resumption pi the morning run of the Wauconda- .

At a recent meeting of the stockholders of the Wauconda-Palatine railroad, Manager Lee reported that i Ihe road had paid during the month of j§anuary. Another meeting of the VOLO MERCHANT SELLS OUT Store Building and . «*?L Business Ed. LUsk, who for a short period conducted a mercantile business on the West Side, and who prior to coming tv McHenry and since leaving this village has successfully conducted a general store at Volo, recently disposed of the building he occupied and today is living in retirement, having sold out his entire stock of goods during the past two weeks. Joseph Lenzen of Volo is the purchaser of the property and, while The Plaindealer is unable to verify same, reports have it that a garage business is to replace the general store which has served the people of the community for these many years. Should the reports now current prove correct the little hamlet will be given its third business of the kind, the other two shops being conducted, by Peter Engeln of this village and Molidor & Wegener. The change will not leave Volo without a trading center, as John Molidor now conducts a general store, including a meat market, and thus the people of the community will not suffer thru the want of a trading center. From the present outlook the Chicago- Fox Lake road is almost certain to be extended thru Volo the coming year, which should bring considerable new business to that place in the future. This probability, together with the increase of cars every year, has more than likely prompted Mr. Lenzen to make the purchase. With every little hamlet in the state showing new signs of life, Volo apparently isn't going to sit idly by, but is also brushing up and allowing the balance of the world to know that she, too, is on the map. More power to Volo and her enterprising citizens. WATER EXTENSION OBJECTORS Must File Their Specific Objections at Woodstock Monday Objectors to the extension of waterworks improvement, numbering about thirty, filed their general objections with their attorneys at the county court Monday morning and the court has set next Monday, Feb. 28, as the date upon which these people must file their specific objections. The waterworks extension improvement has now been in court for several months and those who are anxious to see the improvement made will henqpforth follow the action of the court with a feeling of intense interest. The final action on the waterworks improvement is quite likely to determine the proposed sewerage improvement. The expression of the voters at last spring's municipal election indicated beyond a shadow of doubt that they are for these contemplated improvements and that they will put up a stiff stockholders will be held at Wauconda jfipht to see them brought into real,za- STMarch 15, at which time action will "on goes without saymg The ob- |e taken on changing the name of the iectors to the improvement appear RESIDED HERE 31 YEARS LOUIS F. POUSE CAME HERE IN 1890 Had Been Employed at Local Cigar Factory Ovet^ Quarter of a Century --funeral Saturday Louis F. Pouse, whose sudden death occurred at his home west of town on Feb. 16, was born at Scandinavia, Wis., on October 80, 1858. Later on the family moved to Sturgeon Bay, Wis., where, at the age of seventeen, .the deceased started as an apprentice in a local cigar factory. After serving his apprenticeship he continued his trade in that -city and later on entered into business for himself, conducting a shop at Sturgeon Bay for several years prior to his coming to McHenry. He came to McHenry from Sturgeon Bay in January, 1890, at which time he entered the employ of Barbian Bros., with which concern he had been constantly employed up to about a week prior to his death. Fellow workmen employed at the local cigar factor^ have always credited the deceased with having been one of the best and steadiest workers who has ever en tered the place and his services have always been held invaluable by his employers.** As a citizen, friend and neighbor he was always held' in the highest esteem and by his death the community has lost a most desirable citizen. He was united in marriage to Josephine M. Larson at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., on Feb. 20, 1889. Two children were born to them, Atty. A. H. Pouse and Mrs. Lillian J. Powers. Besides these and a sorrowing wife, there are left to mourn one brother and two sisters, as follows: William Pouse of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Mrs. Charlotte Brice of Vermillion, S. D., and Mrs. Ella Berry of Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. Pouse was a member of the Royal Arcanum of Sturgeon Bay, of which he became a member thirtythree years ago. Ho was also a member of the Cigar Makers' Union, local No. 41, Aurora. The funeral services were conducted at his late home at 1:00 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, with Rev. John M. Grimes, pastor of the Uni* versalist church, officiating. The body was carried to its last resting place in Woodland cemetery by six cigarmakers, all of whom at one time or other had been co-workers of the deceased. They were: John E. Barbian, N. E. Barbian, John Olson, Louis Oertel, Albert Krause and John E. Freund. McHenry friends extend to the bereaved ones their heartfelt sympathy. Card of Thanks In this public manner we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends for words of sympathy and assistance rendered during our recent sad hours. Also do wish to thank the donors of Josephine M. Pouse and Family. ENTERTAINMENT NUMBER fflLKfflFFICERSKE ELECTED AT MEETING HERE URDAY LAST SATro Be Presented at Empire Theatre Monday Evening, March 7 The third of the winter series of entertainments, sponsored by a group of enterprising business men, will take place at the Empire theatre on Monlay evening. March 7. , For this occasion the committee has selected Charles Crawford Gorst, better known on the lecture platform as "The Bird Man." Charles Crawford Gorst is one of the leading naturalists of the country, recognized as such by such men as John Burroughs, Frank M. Chapman and T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Audubon society. Charles Crawford Gorst is more than a great naturalist; he is the greatest imitator of birds in the United States, in the perfection of his bird study he has perfected himself as an imitator of bird songs. He knows and gives accurately--so true in Tact that birds will answer him-- the distinct calls of more than 300 birds, without the use of mechanical means. In the imitation of these songs he sounds a musical note a whole octave higher than the hummingbird, which has the highest note of all known birds. He has appeared before all of the naturalist societies in America and he has aroused the highest enthusiasm everywhere he has appeared. As an intrepreter Mr. Gorst stands alone in his particular field. His lectures are profusely illustrated with elaborate colored drawings of various birds which Mr. Gorst has studied. As a lecturer he ranks high with the best now before the American people. In giving his bird imitations, Mr. Gorst neither whistles nor sings, but produces notes by varying the lips, tongue, teeth, throat and diaphragm j during the eleven month period toin two distinct registers. In- giving j taled $ 19,640,285.36 and farmers were some of the bird songs he uses three'paid $19,350,385.11.

Walsh being made president and Chas. L, Page, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Sternberd of Ike Marketing company, who was scheduled to be at the meeting, was unable to be present and in his place was sent a Mr. Gilley of Barringtoh, who made an excellent talks. At the present time there are about eight per cent of the farmers of this loeality who are not members of the Milk Producers' association and an effort is to be made immediately to bring these into the fold. Mr. Sternberd is expected here next week, who will work with the local men in an endeavor to bring about the desired result. In a telephone conversation with a local official yesterday a Plaindealer reporter was told that the local organization feels confident of landing most of the dairymen who remain outside of the organization and this they expect to do before the close of the drive for new members,- which will be started next week. Milk Marketing Figures The auditor's report of the Milk Producers' Co-operative Marketing company for the 'eleven months ending December 31, 1919, while Charles H. Potter was manager, has been given out. The report shows that milk sales we flowers. company to Chicago, Lake Zurich & Wauconda R. R. Lake county is planning on making its annual fair at Libertyville this year the biggest and best ever undertaken. Negotiations are already under way for the purchase of several buildings at the Great Lakes Naval station and if successful these will be torn down quite determined that they should not be made at this time. The course of the next few weeks is quite sure to decide the questions. That these improvements must and will come is a certainty, but whether they will come this year or not remains to be seen.

Minstrel Show Coming A big home talent minstrel show, sponsored by the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, and Daughters of Isabella of this village, will take place at the Empire theatre soon after Easter, the exact date to be announced later. It has been quite a number of years since the last home talent minstrel show and an entertainment of this nature should pack the house. McHenry, during the past few years, has developed some very good talent for such an entertainment and, judging from recent hometalent productions, the coming minstrel show .will be one of the biggest and best ever produced. Watch for further announcements regarding date, etc. New Electric Sign Up J. E. Behlke completed the job of installing a large electric sign bearing the firm's name in front of the store of Smith Bros, in Centerville the first of the week and the "juice" was turned on for the first time last evening. The sign is a beauty and is sure to prove a fine advertisement for the firm who has had same installed. There are now two electric signs on the street, the other, a smaller one, advertising the McHenry bakery just across the street from Smith Bros. More may follow suit ^ Silk Shirts Galore An auction sale of shirts, hosiery and jewelry was held in the Masquelet building in this village last Satur iiay afternoon and evening and as a result many of our people as well as residents from the rural communities "loaded up" on these various articles at prices which had the semblance of real bargains. Time will tell whether or not the goods were sold at bargain prices. Charles Adams, at one time a member of the Flora DeVoss com pany, had charge of the sale, while the goods sold were from the Phoenix Mfg. company of Chicago.

Held Up On Cary Road -George Smith, traveling salesman for the Grand Union Tea company, has reported that he was slugged and robbed Saturday evening. While traveling toward home between Cuba •ind Cary Station, about six o'clock, he says, he noticed some trouble with his engine and got down to examine it. He says he was preparing to get into his car when someone struck him on the head and knocked him senseless. They must have drugged him with chloroform or some other drug which put him to sleep, he says, for when he awoke it was morning. He was wrapped in a blanket and had been other by-products of the company made the total $115,105.29, or 5.9 cents on each dollar. Out of every $100 received $96.52 was paid to producers, making a net cost of operating of 89 cents per $100 for operation. The spreads in 1919 from February to December were one per cent with the exception'of May and June, which were two per cent. For the past four months the spread has been ten per cent. The 1920 auditor's report has not been made public. The by-laws of the company are said to call for an audit at the close of each calendar year. . CO-OPERATIVE STOCK SALE TELEPHONE SAVED HOME McHenry Operators Call During Farm Fire Another case of where the presence of a telephone in the house together with the assistance rendered by the operators of the McHenry exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company saved a home was recorded Monday noon. When Math. M. Blake on Monday noon of this week discovered his home to be on fire he used the presence of mind to call the McHenry telephone exchange, not because he figured that the McHenry fire department could be of any assistance to him, but because he had faith in the operators here and that they would spread the alarm. The operators on this occasion, as in all former emergencies, proved their efficiency and before the fire had gained much headway the "hello" girls had succeeded in ai^tifying all of the near neighbors, whose immediate response undoubtedly saved the home and its contents. The fire, of unknown origin, started in a clothes closet on the second floor, but fortunately was extinguished before it spread to other parts of the house. However, much damage was ilone to the ceilings, furniture, carpets and rugs by water. The closet where the fire had its start was used by the hired man, Ernest Schleinstein, who lost most of his clothing. Outside of the man's clothing, the entire loss is fully covered by insurance thru the Simon Stoffel agency here. The damage will be repaired at once. Mr. Blake has asked us to express his thanks thru the columns of The Plaindealer for the valuable and timely assistance rendered by the telephone operators and the neighbors.

Unti, the local ice cream manufacturer, will be accompanied by a bride when he returns to this village from a trip to his old home in Italy. Mr. Unti left McHenry early last fall for a visit to the scenes of his boyhood days. No one, not even his own brother, had any idea that his visit had a two-fold purpose, first to see the old home and loved ones and secondly to find someone to love. The marriage took place at San Colombauo on January 30, the happy bride being Miss Severina Marianetti, a young lady from his old home town, and it was there that the wedding took place. ^ The bridegroom first came to the states about twelve years ago and during the past eight years he has been employed by his brother in this village. He served during the late war, but on account of sickness never got any further than Camp Grant. However, the spirit was there and he surely wou'd have gone across had sickness not overtaken him. During the years he has been employed at his brother's establishment he has proven a faithful worker and First Universalist Church Was Jesus of Nazaretfi^each designated as a "beneficial iny Is terest."
