The-cases, however, are all of light form. A carload of North Dakota horses and flqules arrived at Barrington this week and will be sold at auction sale. The morning passenger train on the Wauconda railroad will be resumed beginning next Tuesday morning, March 16, More than 120 saloons in the city of Racine, Wis., face an order to dismantle their bars and remove the window screens. Harvard's chief industry, the Hunt, Helm, Ferris & Co. factory, closed down last week to remain closed until about April 1. The foundation forms were set and the work of pouring cement started on the new dairymen's plant at Grayslake last week. H. S. Dixon A Son, formerly engaged in business at Lake Villa, will soon open grocery stores at Richmond and Spring Grove. At a pure bred Duroc sale held on the Lawndale farm near Volo recently the highest price paid for one sow was $105, while a gilt brought $72.00. Two pure bred Holstein cows were sold last week by W. I. Martin, who owns a farm near Barrington, to St. Mary's training school at DesPlaines for $1,000. A 1919 Ford touring car was stolen from the garage at the farm of Frank McConnell, near Hebron, one night recently. No trace of the car has as yet been found. Richmond's oldest resident, William James Reed, passed away in that village last week at .the age of ninetysix. He was born at Yorkshire, JGng., Feb. 22, 1825. , After a sixteen months' experience, the Elgin Courier has found that the Sunday edition has been anything but a paying proposition and therefore the Sunday edition has 'been discontinued. The Flora DeVoss Theatrical company will again show wider canvas during the coming summer and Manager Rotnour has already announced his opening summer engagement at Richmond about May 10. According to Chicago and Waukegan papers it is almost certain now that the Public Service company will cause the erection of a $25,000,000 electric power plant at Waukegan during the coming spring and. summer. The Grayslake Times believes that McHenry county had the right system of handling the "booze" question and says so editorially in its last issue. Over in Lake county, it seems, there is no'end to "booze" violations. The general contract work for the building of the new community -high, school at Harvard has been let to Reinart A Malsch. The total amount of the various contractors foots up •round $260,000. Work on the structure will begin at once. Owners of the large ice houses over in Lake county have now abandoned *11 hope of filling their houses this winter. Most of the smaller houses are filled, but in most flhses the ice harvested is of very poor quality and not over seven inches in thickness. The annual report of Mrs. Mary Howe Rogers, librarian at Crystal Lake, shows that 13,443 books were loaned to the patrons of the city's public library during the year just closed. The largest number of books loaned in a single day during that period was 378. An engineer, fireman and brakeman, employed by the C. A N. W. railroad, were quite badly scalded at Sharon, Wis., on Wednesday morning of last week when the engine boiler exploided, shooting hot steam in all directions. One of the injured men was taken to the Cottage hospital at Harvard. Since her victory over Marengo the Hebron basket ball team again lays elaim to the championship of McHenry county. The team has defeated every team worthy of note in the county with the possible exception of the Woodstock Meteors * and unless the members of the-county seat team assume a different attitude these two teams will not meet this season. As the result of a vigorous campaign he has waged against lawlessness, State's Attorney A. V. Smith of Waukegan has already turned into the . Lake county treasurer $9,888.74 in fines thus far collected and judging from the manner in which the "booze" handlers and manufacturers are being hauled in over there this amount will be swelled very considerably during the tfoming months. The , proprietor Waukegan garage, in making out his income tax schedule, recently discovered that it had cost him $35,000 to operate his place of business last year. His sales on gasoline and oils alone amounted to $14,000. Some of -his mechanics were paid from $50 to $60 per week. His returns also show that he sold quite a number of cars, but in spite fft this Im made a very small profit. NO ICE AT PISTAKEE Summer Residents at That Point Will Be Up'Agnfeutt It V youare a summer resident at Pistakee and are the possessor of an artificial ice plant you will have no complaint to register the coming summer, but if you are not that fortunate you will find yourself oi|t of luck. At least present indications point to this. Fred Smith, who during the past few seasons has supplied the summer residents at Pistakee with iceL hasn't put up a pound this winter. Not because he wished to discontinue the business, but for the reason that he was one of the unlucky fellows who failed to get a crop. Over around Fox, Lake Mid the smaller lakes adjacent, we are told, the ice harvesters are in about the same predicament as is Mr. Smith and, with the exception of a few privately owned houses, very little ice was harvested at these points during the season. There is only one way in which Mr. Smith will be ablp to supply the Pistakee trade the coming season and that will be thru long hauls from houses in lower Wisconsin. This, however, will make the ice quite expensive to the customers and about the only way out of it for these people will be the installation of ice machines. We are informed that a number of these machines, which are made especially for private homes,' are now in use at Pistakee and that a number of those who have been without them have already placed their orders for the installation of such a convenience. John W. Hille, formerly of this village and who represents a Chicago concern manufacturing such systems, has made quite a thoro canvass of this summer resort .region and on his visit here a short time ago he informed a Plaindealer representative that he had been successful in the sale of a number of machines in this territory, while the ^prospects for additional sales this spring were exceedingly encouraging. Celebrated Their Birthdays Following an annual custom which has been enjoyed in the family during these many years, W. D. Wentworth of this village and his sister, Mrs. C. E. Lamphere of Elgin, jointly celebrated their birthday anniversaries at the home of the latter at 83? S. St. John St., Elgin, last Sunday, March 6. The anniversary date this year fell on Thursday, but for the convenience of everyone concerned it was decided to postpone the celebration until Sunday, when it would be possible for the invited guests to be present. Those who attended the happy event were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Mills, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Frazer and Harry Fuller of Chicago; Mrs. Jacob Wentworth and daughter, Lucy Jane, of Belvidere; Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth and daughter, Varina, of this village; Wm. F. Wentworth, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lamphere and children of Elgin. A very delicious dinner was enjoyed, while the afternoon was passed in social conversation. Both Mrs. Lamphere and Mr. Wentworth were the recipients of a number of very appreciative gifts. ' Infant Daughter Buried at Johnsburg The one-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob R. Justen of Cando, N. D., was brought here for burial last Thursday morning, services being conducted from St. John's church at Johnsburg, with interment in the cemetery adjoining. The infant was taken violently ill on Saturday, Feb. 26, and passed away early the following morning, the physician in attendance diagnosing the cause as appendicitis, very rare among infants of such tender age. Mr. and Mrs. Justen accompanied the body to this village and Johnsburg. They have the sincere sympathy of the people of the community in their sad bereavement. Water Hearing Monday Next Monday, March 14, is the date set for the jury hearing on the proposed waterworks extension improvement. The hearing will take place in the county court at Woodstock and is quite certain to attract a number of interested spectators from this village. The result will be anxiously avgatfced by pur citizens in general. |; Card of Thanks In this, public manner we wish to express otr sincere thanks to relatives, old neighbors and friends for the sympathy extended and kindness shown us during our recent sad,visit to our old home. • ' * ' • Mr. and Mrs. Jacob R. Justetttr * - -k Cando, NrD, ,, Bought Madden House Papers were drawn up on Tttesday of this week for the sale of the Miss Charlotte Madden house on Elm street to Albert Krause, village alderman and proprietor of the Riverside dairy in this village. The place, TO-are told, has already been rented. *#•_' First Universalis* Churctf f The sermon subject next Sunday will be "Qualifications for Church Work"--a homely but important topic. Sunday school meets at 10:00 a. m. and the preaching service at 11.00. A most eordml invitation ia extended to all. NEW ENGINE AND WASHES PLACED" INTO OPERATION AT ' BORDEN'S Improvements Make Local PfhMtOn* of the Most Completely Equipped In This Section--Also Laundry The Borden Condensed Milk company has this week completed installation of new machinery in thenlocal plant, which brings it in line with the most modern and complete milk bottling plants to be found anywhere. The finishing touches were being put onto the latest acquisition to the new equipment at the plant as a Plaindealer reporter dropped in on Tuesday afternoon. "You're just five minutes late" greeted the reporter's ears as ,he en- Jtered the boiler room at the factory at about 3:40 that afternoon. Here he found the experts making some slight adjustments on the 125 h. p. Bates heavy duty steam engine, which had just completed its first day's run at the local plant. While the big engine is capable of developing 125 h. p., there is little possibility that such a load will ever be carried at the local plant. One hundred horse power will easily take care of the present as well as future needs and it is at this capacity that the iron horse is being driven. The fly wheel* measures ten feet in diameter and weighs 5,900 pounds, while the weight of the entire engine is said to be something like ten tons. In excavating for the foundation upon which the giant 'rests, workmen went down seven feet and four inches. Thirty-five yards of gravel were used in the construction of the solid concrete base and with the engine running at full speed little or no vibration is felt. * ' v Another new improvement in~ the plant's equipment and which also had its first day's run on Tuesday is a heavy duty paragon bottle washer, which is located in the north end of the factory". This machine, which does away with some of the most disagreeable work of the plant, is made in four units and is capable of washing fourteen twelve-quart bottle cases per minute. The machine is set north and south in the building and the cases containing the bottles enter the machine in the north end and come out at the other as clean and sanitary as it is possible to make them. As the cases enter the machine they first go thru the first unit, known as the alkali process, thence into the second unit, the cleaning and cleansing process, while the third and fourth units are for rinsing and sterilizing. The cases are then carried away and the bottles are in readiness for the following day's supply of milk. The installation of the new washer not only makes the work easier, but cleaner as well, while it also does away with the forty sterilizing wagons. The wagons were removed from the building on Tuesday, which gives the place a much larger appearance than heretofore and also provides ample working room for the force of men employed. • Another recent acquisition to the plant is a Wisner pasteurizer, which was installed and placed into commission about two months ago. As previously stated, the new equipment, all of the very latest and most improved type, gives the plant a right to lay claim to the honor of being one of the best and most completely equipped bottling plants in the northern part of the state, if not in the country. While speaking of the local bottling plant, it would probably also be of interest to our readers to learn that the local plant also maintains a fully equipped laundry, where the suits of the local workmen as well as those from three or four other plants in this vicinity are washed regularly. The laundry is located in a separate building just north of the main factory and contains all of the very latest improved machinery and is capable of taking care of local requirements as well as those of other nearby plants with ease. A trip thru the local factory as well as the laundry is an interesting one indeed. Shamrock Ball Next Thursday A shamrock ball, to be given by the members of the McHenry post of the American Legion, will take place at their hall in this village next Thursday evening, March 17, and the committee in charge is planning on making the event a most enjoyable one for those who attend. McAndrews' orchestra of Woodstock will furnish the music. Admission, $1.00; war tax, 10 cents; total, $1.10. Everyone la cordially invited to attend. New Millinery at Ringwood. Mrs. Karl Bradley wishes to announce that she is opening a new millinery parlor in her home at Ringwood and will hold her opening on Saturday, March 26. Mrs. Bradley has had considerable experience in this line of work and assures the public an up-to-the-minute parlor. She invites your patronage. * . . . . v Spring opening next Saturday, March 12, 1921. Blake Sisters. '• • f r •* ( / f ' * .*> WILL SEIN MORE CARP Ben Stilling & Son to Resume Operations Next Month, DON'T FORGET INCOME TAX Failure to File^le4uts Heavy Fine-- Expert Services Ajfo at Your Disposal Here If you are numbered among those who are obliged to file an income tax report and you have not as yet attended to this important matter, it would be well for you to get busy at once, as your report must be filed no later than next Tuesday, March 15. Thru a special arrangement of the Fox River Valley State bank of this village as well as the Ringwood State bank the services of Peter M. Justen, local income tax expert, were secured some weeks ago to offer advice and render assistance to those desiring same in the matter of making out their income tax returns. This service was offered entirely gratis to the public and as the result of the arrangement scores of tax payers in this locaHty have availed themselves of the opportunity and sought Mr. Justen's expert advice and assistance. Today the tax expert is at the Ringwood State bank and tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday he will be found at the Fo\ River Valley State bank in this village. Besides being at the bank during the regular business hours, he may also be found there between the hours of seven anc} nine on Friday evening. The experience of some of our people last year should be sufficient warning to all who come under the income tax law to be sure anil file their schedules and do so between now and next Wednesday. After that time it will be too late and the tardy ones are subject to a heavy fine. Just how mahy people in McHenry township have filed this year cannot be ascertained at this time, but it appears like a safe bet that the number i^ considerably larger than any previous year since the inauguration of the new income tax law. Nine Telephone Operators Miss Maybelle Hauswirth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hauswirth of this village, is now employed in the Edgewater Beach exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company in Chicago, making nine girls from this village and vicinity who are thusly employed in the metropolitan city. The others are: Misses Dorothy and Louise Engeln, Margaret and Genevieve Bonslett, Emma and Helen Pint, Julia Weber and -Kathryn Regner. We are told that the ladies are all employed on the north side and from reports are perfectly satisfied with the treatment received at the hands of the telephone company. Especially are they pleased with the manner in which the company looks after their welfare both during and after working hours and the recreation and rest room's provided are so thoroly enjoyed and much appreciated that the young ladies never fail toSfnention these things in letters to Home folks and friends. \ CcMnttt Sixteenth Birthday Miss Alice Miller entertained a number of her young friends at her home at Rosedale on Saturday evening in honor of her sixteenth birthday anniversary. Games and dancing were the chief amusements of the evening. Refreshments were served at a late hour. Those present were Gladvs and Pamela Rietesol, Angela That Ben Stilling A Son mm planning on resumption, for a short period, of their carp seining activities this spring w|s learned on Tuesday* afternoon when & Plaindealer reporter held quite an interesting confab with the junior member of the firm. According to present plans and in conformity with their usual custom, the firm expects to begin operations in what is known as Slough bay, Pistakee lake, on or about April 1. In order not to disturb the fish or spawn any more than is necessary, their spring work is usually short'in duration and is made in the waters where there will be little or no damage done to the game fish. The spring hauls are made with two purposes in mind. First, to clean out the carp and secondly to provide the fish hatchery with game fish for spawning purposes. The latter work is done strictly in accordance with the laws of the state and under the supervision of a state fish warden. Only a few game fish are taken from each haul made and by- doing this the fishermen figure that the fish and their nests will be the least disturbed. Another interesting bit of information given us during our conversation was that the game fish thus supplied the hatchery at Spring Grove are again released after the spawning season. The fish, after the spawning progress at the hatchery, are released into Nippersink creek and naturally find their way back into the lakes thru this source. This will be of interest to many of our anglers who have always been under the impression that the game fish when once delivered to the hatchery would remain there until the expiration of their usefulness. Slough bay, which will be the scene of the fishermen's activities this spring, abounds with carp at this season of the year and the seiners will be very much disappointed if this spot does not produce some excellent hauls this spring. A Pleasing Number What proved one of the most pleasing, interesting as well, as entertaining numbers of the winter series of entertainments, being sponsored in McHenry by a group of her wide-awake business men, took place at the Empire theatre on Monday evening of this week, when Charles Crawford Gorst, "the bird man," appeared. It must have been a pleasant surprise for those who went to the theatre with the expectation of hearing a "dry talk" when Mr. Gorst opened his program with one of the most unusual solos aver listened to by a McHenry audience. "The Bird Man," a truer title could not have been chosen for him and the manner in which he imitated birds was a revelation indeed. Had one been blind folded and taken to the theatre on Monday night he woul*J have sworn that the house was filled with beautiful singing birds of most every description. That the audience was well pleased will,be vouched for by the two hundred or more present. Will Summer Here. Mr. and Mrs. N. P.

Walter F. Vogt and C. W. Stenger have been doing some very nice work in this respec£ during the past two weeks and over the telephone on Wednesday morning Chairman Vogt gave us the followinig list of names already secured: Henry C. Kamholz, West McHenry citizen, W. F. Vogt, Overton A Cowen, McHenry Lumber company, Jos. W. Freund^ Donavin 4k Reihansperger, West McHenry State bank, L. A. Erickson, Weber & Schiessle, P. W. Frett, Theo. Schiessle, N. J. Justen & Son, Wilbur Lumber company and Johnson & Burns. Chairman Vogt also reports that more applications for membership are expected daily and from the manner in which the progressive West Side business men and citizens are responding to this worthy cause we feel sure that the soliciting committee's report in that end of town will stack up with any of them by the time the work has been completed.

TAXES COMING SLOWLY Only About a Quarter of Total Township Tax Now In MtHenry township taxes, wMefc now being collected at the Fox River Valley State bank as well as Ihe Ringwood State bank, are coming in very slowly. In fact, up to last evening only about a. quarter of the total tax to be collected has been paid. Just how soon the books will be called in by the county treasurer is not known at this time, but it is expected that the word will come to have them returned on or about Aixril 1. Many of the farmers, no doubt, are waiting until after the receipt of their milk checks next week and therefore the local collectors are looking for a brisk business during the latter part of next week. As stated in these columns two weeks ago, the tax books and receipts for the payment of McHenry towns!,ip taxes may be found at the office of the Fox River Valley State bank in this village on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays of each week, while on Tuesdays and Fridays they Will be at the Rtajfrwood State bank. Bought Carpentersville Store Edgar W. Mills of Chicago has purchased the general merchandise stock of Roberts A Lagestrom at Carpentersville and it is expected he will take possession of the business next Monday morning. Mr. Mills, of late, has been connected with Butler Bros, in Chicago and has had years of experience in merchandising. He will have the assistance of his wife, who was formerly Hettie Wentworth of this village, and whose first husband, Harry Fuller, passed away at Wauconda, where he successfully conducted a general store for a number of years.
