C. Holly, was towed to the site oq Monday of this week and just as soon as a few minor adjustments are made the mud will be moving on what gives promise of terminating into one of the moat beautiful spots along the course of our beautiful Fox. It will be remembered that the tract, which is located on the east shore of the river between the Granger estate and James Hughes' property, was purchased from Patrick Cleary early last fall, at which time some work towards the improvement the strip was done. _ Activities along the line of Improving the spot was renewed in real earnest a short time ago and right now vary good progress is being made. A Plaindealer' reporter went over the grounds on ^uesday afternoon of this week, when he found a score or more workmen busily engaged. In the northeast end of the plot he found men busily engaged in placing a steam outfit which is to be used in distributing the earth along the low river front as it is taken from the artificial lake by the steam shovel. Another gang of men were found in the southeast end. Here the work of trimming the trees, digging up of stumps and raking up the under brush and leaves was gradually but surely transforming a wilderness into a beautiful park. Going back into the grove we found surveyors laying out the lots. The roads thruout the entire strip have all been laid out and graded, while the work of graveling same is now well under way, and from all indications the lots should be ready to be thrown onto the market within the course of a reasonable length of time. Another important improvement which has also been made is the draining of a low spot, which up until this time was nothing more than a frog pond, but which, thru a perfect system of draining, will soon be ready for its intended use--a tennis court. The work of further improving the property will, we are told, be rushed with all possible speed from now on. More men are to be added to the force and when once the big steam shovel is placed in operation it will only be matter of a few weeks before the artificial lake will be there in all reality and beauty. The entire frontage of this lake as well as the lake itself will be at the disposal of lot owners. A roadway to the lake will give all access to same without trespassing. The lake will not only afTord a fine place for boat anchorage, but will provide an excellent swimming beach. All of the conveniences enjoyed in the city will be obtainable here, act cording to the plans of the men Who are back of the venture. This includes gas, lights and water. While these things m$y not all come this season, they are quite sure to come before the end of another resort season. In order to fully appreciate the big improvement that is now under way one must (visit the site. We understand that quite a number of prospective lot buyers are watching the progress of the woi^i with a keen interest and we predict that when once the lots are thrown upon the market little trouble will be encountered in getting the prospective buyers interested. I NEW WORKING 8CHEDULB Went tela Effect at Milk Battling Plants Sunday In common with milk bottling plants thruout this entire Chicago district, the employes of the Borden plant as well as the Bowman dairy plant at Ringwood, entered up a six day working schedule on Sunday of this week, and hereafter employes will be given one day of grace each week instead of putting in seven as has heretofore been the custom. Under the new arrangement four men are out each day of the week at the local plant of the Borden Milk company, where twenty-eight men are now employed. In order to mskff this possible it was necessary to add four new men to the working force. The new schedule is working out very nicely and the men, ntedless to say, are pleased. * Specials at Vycital's.

While W«u Ikmn Knci Wina Rteg One thousand dollars was cleared by the McHenry post of the American Legion as the result of the three nights' carnival held at their hall in this village last Thursday, Friday'and Saturday evenings. The attendance on Thursday Friday evenings did not come up to expectations, but the closing night crowd more than made up, and as a natural consequence the big affair came to a close just, as it had been expected that it would. ~On each night the crowd appeared in particularly good humor and no one seemed to mind the ardent soliciting on the part of the veterans who were there in numbers selling chances on this, that and the other. This proved particularly true on the closing night, when the big hall was jammed with scores of good natured folks, who apparently enjoyed the dough boys' manner of putting over an event of the kind. As one entered the hall his first Introduction was to the big feature attraction, "What Is It." This attraction was located in the cloak room and proved a big drawing card and consequently a money maker. "What Is It" proved to be not only a real human being, but a man who has visited this village before and who had previously made a number of friends here. He was none other than Mr. Kelley, son of a former cigar maker employed at the Barbian Bros, factory here. However, this fact did not detract from his performance in the least and everyone who saw him must admit that he is a wonder. A person who can sit in one position, without moving a muscle or even doing as much as to bat an eye and hold that position .over a period of hours, is indeed a curiosity. .Very few who saw him vtre able to ascertain whether he was a human being or "dummy" until after he "came to life," so as to speak. Two Scottish highlanders, attired in their full regalia, were on hand with their bag pipes, While Lester "Kid" Bacon gave wonderful demonstrations of bag punching upon a stand near the entrance to the big attraction. His stand, together with the "barkers" and the highlanders, seemed to imbue the visitors with "pep" and a desire to "loosen" up the moment they entered the hall and how successfully this worked out has already been told. The various booths, containing blankets, kewple dolls, box candy, silverware, novelties and refreshments, were all located on the west side of the hall, while the north end was reserved for dancing. The Novelty Five, an orchestra made* up of five of McHenry's musically inclined young men, furnished the music for dancing and( apparently gave good satisfaction. The Mardi Gras on the closing night proved a big attraction and the dancing apace was well occupied all evening. ' > The drawing of numbers to decide the winner of the Ford touring car started shortly after »eleven o'clock. Before the drawing was begun it was decided by those in attendance that one of the wheels of fortune should be used in determining how many numbers should be drawn to decide the winner. The wheel stopped on number fifty-six and it was therefore made necessary to draw that many numbers. Miss Mildred Gana drew the numbers, while Atty. A. H. Pouse called them off as they were taken from the box. Finally came the fifty-sixth drawing, No. 101, held by Miss Elizabeth K. Miller, derk at the McHenry postofllce. The winner was called over to the stand for the purpose of being formally announced the winner. Miss Miller tried to Bay something, but the great joy and the suddenness of it all prevented. Next in order came the contest to decide the most popular lady and once more a postoffice clerk came in for the honors, as Miss Theresa Knox, clerk at, the West McHenry postofllce, had the highest number of votes at the time the contest came to a close. The five highest contestants and the number of votes each received fellow: Miss Theresa Knox 41,000 Miss Helen Justen....#9,790 Miss Julia May ,.,,<1^,.. 5,690 Miss Alleen O'Reilly , ......... 2,640 Miss Julia Feffer.....t.1,620 And thus came to a close McHenry's first indoor carnival. . The members of the McHenry post, American Legion, wish to'extend their thanks to the young ladies of the community high school, the members of the Just Us club and others who offered their assistance and the public in general who were responsible for bringing the event to such a successful conclusion- Mrs. T. J. Walsh was a Chicago visitor last Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Howard were g£rica«o visitors Monday. MEMORIAL DAT OBSERVANCE la McHenry Next Monday Afternoon In Charge af Legion Members The people of this community will once more be given an opportunity to do jionor to our soldier boys, both living and dead, next Monday afternoon, when Decoration day will be properly observed in McHenry. The afternoon's program will be In chargef of the" McHenry post of the American Legion and all of us will remember the beatitiful and fitting services which were held here last year under the auspices of this same body and therefore we may rest assured that next Monday's program will prove just as fitting as that of last. The members of the local poat of the American Legion, together with all ex-soldiers, sailors and marines, whether members of the Legion or not, as well as Spanish war veterans and those of former wars, including the Civil war, are urged to meet at the American Legion hall on the West Side promptly at 1:30. Headed by the McHenry band, which on this occasion will be in charge of J. E. Hauswirth, the veterans 6f the various wars will march to the Empire theatre, where the following program will be rendered: Music Band Invocation Rtf. ®hr. Birthold Song Sextette Introduction of Speaker. .A. H. Pouse Commander Amer. Legion Post Address Hon. Richard B. Walsh Song Sextette Music .v Band At the conclusion of the program the line will again be totaled for a march to the cemeteries, where the decking of graves and other^ appropriate exercises will take place. The line of march to the cemeteries willbe formed in the following order: Band, Legion and other war veterans, school children and public. The sextette, which is to take part in the program at the Empire theatre, is composed of Mesdames J. C. Holly, F. J. Aicher, and Miss Clara Miller; Messrs. J. C. Holly, Jos. W. Freund and Peter M. Juaten. The members of the McHenry poet extend a cordial invitation to everyone in the community to take part in the observance of this, our nation's most sacred holiday, and a special invita tion is also extended to the good citizens of our neighboring towns to also join us in paying reverence to our war veterans. As has always been the custom, all of the various business houses in the village are asked to close at least during the two hours or more that the program and exercises are in progress and the Legion members are sure, that this request will be granted them. It is the desire of the McHenry post that the program and exercises start promptly at the appointed hour and if the war veterans and the general public will co-operate this can and will be done. Remember the time, ?var vets, American Legion ha|l an the Weat Side at 1:30 p- m. sharp. ANOTHER BIG JPHOTO PLAY Unier Anaptcea of. St. Maiy"e dwirch on Wedneeday, lane 1 KNCATESOOTTO WtftHtt LARGE CROW9 JOHNSBURG TUESDAY 4* 'Mother's IMrt Impreaalve Event That Has Ever Taken Place In Tkia Community--' Beantif ul Proceeskm At Johnsburg on Tuesday morning of this week occurred an event which has been witnessed but a few times in this entire country, while we are safe in stating that same has never before taken place in northern Illinois. We refer to the dedication of the Lourdes grotto, erected in St. John's cemetery last fall to the memory of Rev. H. M. Mehring, late pastor of St. John's church. The Rt Rev. P. J. Muldoon, bishop of Rockford, who was in charge of the dedication ceremonies, arrived in McHenry on the 4:66 tr|jn on Monday evening and was met at the station by Rev. Win. Weber, pastor of A PITIFUL CASE Death Leaves Father With Seven Children Never before have our citixens witnessed a more pitiful condition than marked the last illness and death of Mrs. Steve Harvey, who passed away at her late home here in the Herbes house on Elgin road last Friday morning, a victim of tuberculosis. With no relatives to look to for assistance, the father and his family, most of whom tire small, the youngest about two years of age, were left to take care of the mother the best, they could. The father, an employe at the Terra Cotta factory, felt that he could not afford to quit his work as it was all that he could possibly do to keep the family in food and clothing and therefore it remained for the two older boys to look after their mother while the father was at Work. V . • * V.*'- \V 'iH' ^ y i Lourdes Grotto at Johnsburg which was Dedicated Tuesday Next Wednesday, June, 1, another pretentious photo-play will be presented at the Empire theatre. months ago reservations were for this super feature photo drama, one of the grandest films of the Cath- j olic Art association, a corporation. which produces high-class moving pic-. ture plays. j "The Burning Question" ia a great, and soul stirring story. The great St. John's church, and Rev. M. J. Mc- Evoy, pastor of St. Patrick's church of McHenry, and carried to Johqsburg in the latter's automobile. 'On his arrival at Johnsburg he was accorded a genuine welcome and reception by the school children and a number of the grown-up members of the parish. Tuesday, an ideal day for such an important event, found everything in readiness. The Rt. Rev. Bishop arose quite early and apparently was eager for the opening of the day's ceremonies. He celebrated holy mass at 7:46 a. m., at which all school children were present as were a large number of the grown-up members of the par ish and out-of-town visitors. During this mass the school children received holy communion at thtf hands of the bishop, who consecrated JohnsbUrg's promising youth to our Lady of Lourdes. At ten o'clock the beautiful chimes of the big church bells announced the beginning of the festive ceremonies and their last peals had no more than died away when the Johnsburg brass band, standing in front of the church edifice, struck up a march. This was a signal for the start of the procession, which had previously been formed- and extended from the steps leading to the parish house to the church. The spectacle, formed by the acolytes, school children, the various fraternal and church societies, together with the bishop and clergy and the various banners and regalia, was "V'S® ' ' f'? ' 1 i • work of the Knights of Columbus is pictured in an interesting and realistic manner. Stirring episodes portraying the work in'no man's land under a flaming deluge of shot and shell grip the heart and soul. Love, heroism and sacrifice are woven into the thrilling story. In short, "The Burning Question, Who Must Pay" is a big theme replete with thrilling scenes and sentiments that touch the heart. For the public of McHenry this show ^ j easily the most beautiful and impressive ever witnessed at any church celebration in Johnsburg. The bishop and clergy in vestments, the fourth degree Knights of Columbus and St Clara drill team of McHenry displayed an unusually pretty effect in the procession. Scores of parishioners and visitors, the men with bared heads, was pipe organ stood in deep silence as the procession slowly wended its way around the west side of the church . edifice and thence to the front, where entrance made to the strains of the big and the singing of the "Ecee Sacordos Magnus" by. the parish choir.

Kind hearted neighbors and a number of our citizens learned of the condition and these good people kept the family provided with food, while some went into the home and gave the poor woman as much of their time as they could possibly spare, and in this manner she was looked after until her Master's Voice hath called. Supervisor Stephen H. Freund's attention had been called to the case some time ago, while he did everything within his power to see that there was plenty of food, his efforts as well as those of near neighbors to get some one to go in and take care of the woman proved unavailable. Efforts were also made to get her consent to be removed to a suitable institution where proper care could be given her, but to this she always answered no and asked to be left to die amidst her family, and her request was granted. A second request that her remains be laid beside those of her first husband were also fulfilled and thus the body was taken to Chicago for burial in a Greek cemetery in that city on Monday morning. It seems to be the father's wish to keep the family together, but whether this will be possible remains entirely upon his success in obtaining a woman to come in and give the children the care they need. Should he be unsuccessful it will naturally be up to the McHenry county court to decide just what should and must be done. McHenry has never before had just such a case as this and, while those who have interested themselves realize and appreciate the father's position and feelings, the proper care of the children comes first and it is the intention of some of our people to see that such provision is made in case a housekeeper is unobtainable.
