The happy event took place at St. Paul's Universalist church in Chicago on June 5, 1920, the knot having been tied by Rev. L. Ward Brigham. The lucky groomsman is Louis William Rohman. Only the parents of the young people and a sister of the bride shared the knowledge of the happy event until Tuesday of this week, when the announcements were sent out, The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Anna Byrd Brooks of Wauconda and was born in this village, where she grew up and attended school. She is a graduate of the Mc- Henry high school as well as of the Michigan State Normal college at Ypsilanti, Mich. Upon graduating she entered the teacher's profession and has followed this vocation with unusual success in both this and Lake counties. She is a young woman of most pleasing personality and has the esteem of uncountable friends thruout eastern McHenry as well as western Lake counties. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Rohman, who reside near Crystal Lake. He is an industriously inclined young roan, who also possesses more than ordinary enterprise. He is a member of the firm of Barnikow ft Rohman, who are about to open a new garage at Wauconda. Mr. and Mrs. Rohman left Tuesday morning for a trip thru the middle west and will be at home at Wauconda after September 15. McHenry friends extend their very choicest congratulations. ^ Booster Parade A very good suggestion has this week been offered by one of our citizens and if the suggestion is backed up and brought to a reality the business men and citizens, accompanied by the McHenry band, will, at some near future date, make a day's tour of the neighboring towns for the purpose of giving our municipality a bit of advertising. A booster parade of this sort is not a new venture, but one which has been successfully conducted by a number of the cities and towns thruout this locality and it looks to us as if it comes very near being our turn to show the outside world tha^ McHenry is very much on the map. The meeting to decide such a course is now in order and it is now up to our business men to get back of the venture. The band members are very much in favor of such a tour, so why not get busy? ' Riverview Camp- Given Priaa* At a special meeting of Riverview camp, R. N. A., of this village, held at its hall on Riverside Drive on Tuesday evening of this week, the camp was formally presented with th<s prize offered to the camp having the largest representation at the tecently held county picnic at Woodstock. The prize awarded was in the form of an ebony' handled ivory gavel. Upon a silver plate on the gavel was engraved the name and number of the camp to which same was presented together with the date of the picnic. A committee from the Woodstock R. N. A. camp came over for the express purpose of tendering the .prize, after which a program, games, music and a general good time whiled away a few very pleasant hours, after which refreshments were served. The hall was prettily decorated for the occasion in lodge colors and flowers. Making- Good Progress Altho the rain of Monday and Tuesday interferred to some extent, very good progress is being made on the track now under construction from Waukegan street to the Spencer mill. Up until last evening the ties and track had been laid to a point west of the oil tanks. It now looks as if the entire job should be completed within the course of the next two or three weeks, altho the most difficult task, of crossing the street and mill race, is yet to come. The Waukegan street railroad crossing is cloa#d to traffic during the construction. New Home Nearing Completion The new home, to replace the one destroyed by fire on the Jacob P. Diedrich farm northwest of Volo a few weeks ago, is rapidly rearing completion and from the progress that is being made should be ready for occupancy within a very short time. The family, since the fire, has been making its temporary abode in a wagon shed. A new silo has also been erected on the place, while the barn should be up before cold weather sets ' ' •' M--Hght Excmsie-- , , The Htater boat line will operate moonlight excursions on Fox river and the lakes each evening during the season, leaving the Riverside pier at 7:00 o'clock.

Stilling Represent Our Interests at Meeting Doe no doubt to the fact that few of our people were aware of the meeting until too late to make preparations to attend, the conference held at the Hotel Sherman, Ch^pago, last Friday morning to determine the location of bond issue route 21 was attended by only three representatives of McHenry county. These three ware Township Supervisor $. H. Freund, Mayor Simon Stoffel and George A. Stilling. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, route 21 connects the county seats of McHenry and Lake counties, in other words, the Waukegan- Woodstock road. Col. C. R. Miller, chcirman of the department of public works and buildings, presided at the meeting. Bond issue route 21, Chicago to Antioch, was the first matter to come up for discussion and representatives from the various towns thru which the road may or may not eventually pass were on. baud to set forth their arguments. Among the Lake county towns to send delegations and speakers to the meeting were Antioch, Lake Villa, Grayslake, Libertyville and Waukegan. All told there were about fifty delegates present from these various sections. Arguments were listened to from each of the men who cared to talk and the state department will, undoubtedly, use them in determining just where the route will go. After the Lake county matter had been disposed of the McHenry delegation was given a Rearing and Mr. Stilling, who was the filrst of the three men called upon, in a/manner apologized for the small attendance at the meeting from McHenry" •©aunty, but assured the chairman that this was not due to a lack of interest, but rather because of the fact that the McHenry county people who were really interested in the proposed road had not learned of the conference in time to be present. Mr. Stilling made a very good representative and spokesman for the community, however, and his talk is sure to carry some weight when the final laying out of the road is made. He explained how the road, by passing thru the lower end of town and thence thru Centerville with an outlet on Waukegan street, would benefit the greatest number of our people and this, he added, appeared to be the favored route among McHenry citizens in general. Supervisor Stephen H. Freund's remarks vouched for the statement made by Mr. Stilling, as did that of Mayor Simon Stoffel, and judging from this it seems quite reasonable to expect the department at Springfield to decide on the route favored by the delegation present at the meeting in Chicago. In fact, this was the purpose of the meeting. The final decision of the state will be awaited with keen interest, not only by the citizens of McHenry, but rural residents as well, as everyone in McHenry county wants good roads. Just how soon the permanent route between Woodstock and Waukegan will be laid out is still a matter of conjecture, but our hopes have gone up considerably since it was made known at the meeting last Friday that the chairman had been given only a limited amount of time in which to gather in the data he had obtained at this time. The fact that the hearing on the proposition has thus been held is taken to mean that the state plans to lose no time in having this as well »as the Chicago-Antioch highways paved. It is not improbable that bids for the two stretches will be advertised for very soon and that work on same will be started this fall or no later than next spring. / r St. Mary's Parish Nefi'. • Mosaic floor men completed" the bath room floor in St. Mary's new parsonage last Saturday. The stainers are at work in the building preparing the oak trim for the carpenters. Math. Heimer and son have undertaken the work. Brick work will start very soon to put the' finishing touches to the outside of the building, which was delayed a long time °n account of the kellastone work On the east and north sides of the building. Agreements have been made with the Artificial Stone company to rush the brick veneer and cement floor work as fast as possible. Enjoy Day In McHenry Claude Freund, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Freund of this village, accompanied by about thirty priests and students of the Passionist Monastery at Norwood Park, Chicago, motored out to this village last Thursday and passed the day at the home of Mr. Freund's parents here, where a chicken dinner and supper were served them,. The outing was'highly enjoyed bythe visitors. at your eggs at Erkk&ln's. The Land That Nature Bleeped By Bill Bo When I'm seeking recreation and crave fine scenery to see, Fox water and McHenry are good enough for me. «*• Where the river flows in ripples like a winding silver thread And the sun sets in its glory like a ball of sinking red; While the "moon shines" on the Hippersink and also at Fox Lake,, And Pistakee's hospitality will guarantee headache; Where the "white wings" skim blue waters upon a breezy day Ahd* politicians live-in mansions that face the quiet bay. At Grass Lake--up at "Shorty's"-- you can spend some happy hours Where the lotus nods a greeting with a whitened head of flowers; Excursion boats are plenty and Hunter has a fleet That goes to Channel Lake and everywhere, including Lake Petite; You can get a boat of any kind, deluding Evinrude. Here you meet all kinds of people from a "Reuben" to a "dude;" There's good fishing around McHenry and near Coon Island, too. And Riverdale is famous for good fellows and "home brew." There are "mermaids" in the river-- they go swimming afternoons, Fat ones and lean ones and shapely beauties in platoons And there's golf at Howell's Villa with a club at Chapel Hill, If you're fond of links and walking and like to bat "the pill." Hannifin'8 the speed kin^ and his motor boat can fly, But wait till Goetz is. ready forv the races bye and bye; The "Leota," tho, excels them all the beauty of the boats, Altho the "Mercedes" and "Modesty" are among the classy floats. If you've got a balky motor and want your boat to go Just drop in at Engeln's and tell your troubles all to "Joe." For a "square meal and a square deal" with a clean ambrestfull bed Register at Jus ten's--youll be welcomed there by' Fred.

R. & L. I. A. jrthe Ws Surprise Assessor on 81st Birthday His children and their families last Sunday perpetrated a very pleasant surprise upon J. W. Kimball, McHenry township assessor, at his home on Waukegan street in this village. While the anniversary of his birth was not until the following day, August 1, for the convenience otfall the event was celebrated on Sunday and came in the form of a surprise/as the honored one knew nothing of the plans until the arrival of the guests. A most delightful day Was passed by all. The distinction of holding public office at this ripe old age corocs to but very few people and the manner in which he executed his duties this spring is remarkable inj#e£d. Here's hoping that our estimable $pwnsffian lives to celebrate his ohe hundredth birthday. Blarney Island Cup Race A water events in which hundreds of the summer resorters thruout this district are very much interested, will take place next Sunday, Aug. 7, when the annual Blarney Island cup race will be held. A committee of the Fox River ft Lakes Improvement association, in charge of the big event, is looking forward to an unusually large entry and the event should terminate into the best ever run. The race will start at Blarney Island, Fox Lake, and the course will take the craft to Wilmot, Wis., to Nippersink and thence back to the starting point. The first boat will leave at 11:00 o'clock in the morning.

BEKTMLD TO LEAVE HAS ASKED BISHOP FOR LEAVE X;; OF ABSENCE PsBtwP of St. Mary's to Recuperate at Sulphurlick Springs and Thence to Colorado Springs • Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the announcement last Sunday morning that Rev. Edward Berthold, pastor of St, Mary's church, is soon to leave McHenry. The announcement was made by the reverend pastor from St Mary's pulpit last Sunday morning. While it had been quite generally known, at lease to bis parishioners, that the pastor's health had not been of the best for several months past, few, if any, realized that his condition was such as to cause him to give up activity for awhile at least. Rev. Berthold applied to the Rt. Rev. Bishop P. J. Muldoon at Rockford for a leave of absence and suggested the appointment of some other priest for the parish and the bishop, realizing the need of a rest for the hard-working clergyman, willingly granted the request. Rev. Edward Berthold, during the seven years in which he has been pastor of St. Mary's, has probably had as large a task on his hands as has ever confronted any priest He took up the work willingly and thru his untiring efforts has succeeded in making the McHenry parish one. of the most substantial and best in the Rockford diocese. During the time he has been with us he has been chiefly instrumental in the building of a new sisters' home, the improvement of the school, a new church edifice and a new parish house, the latter now being nearly finished. We dare say that there are few if any priests in the entire diocese who have accomplished as much in such a short period of time. These improvements, together with the purchase of a large strip of land only a short time ago from the bishop estate and which is gradually taking form of a beautiful park, represent an investment of approximately $100,000 and, according to our information, the indebtedness against the property is less than $20,000. Rev. Berthold's successor has not as yet been appointed, but, in view of the fact that he will preach his farewell sermon at both the 7:00 and 10:lfo'clock masses next Sunday morning, it ik quite likely that an appointment will be made within the course of the next week. From McHenry Rev. Berthold will go to Sulphurlick Springs to\recuperate and from there most likely w* Colorado Springs, Colo. Home From Great Lakes Alfred Bonslett, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Bonslett of this village, returned home from the Great Lakes Naval Training station last Saturday evening, having completed his labors at that station. Soon after his release from the navy at the close of the late world war Alfred was given a civil service appointment at the Great Lakes, which he has faithfully and efficiently filled up until last Saturday. The McHenry young man, thru his connections with this station, has acquired much valuable experiences, which qualifies him well for several very attractive positions which have already been offered him. However, he has decided to enjoy i well earned rest before accepting any of these offers and will remjya at home for a few weeks at least," - Remove Storage House' : V The C. M. ft St. Paul Railroad company has finally seen At to remove storage house for hand cars and railroad tools which was located near the Wilson Station crossing, east of Waukegan, and at a point where it obstructed the view of approaching trains. Several lives have been lost at this crossing and only last summer one of our own citizens, George Steilen, came very near beiiig killed when a heavy truck he was driving was truck by a passenger train at this point. The truck at the time of the accident was loaded with kellastone. Mr. Steilen, it will be remembered, came out of the accident with but a few minor injuries, while thftferwek was smashed beyond repair. ^\f-t: Notice -- The Ladies' Cemetery Aid society will meet with Mrs. T.

FWcii special- ON TOUR OF INSPECTION County Boys' Clubs Visit Fanaa and Learn Cow Testing A tour of inspection was participated in by the members of the McHenry County Boys' clubs on Tuesday of this week. The McHenry members of the club left this village about 9:00 o'clock, the first place visited being the Arthur Cornue farm near Hebron, and from there to the Dickenson farm near Lake Geneva, Wis. At each of the two places visited the boys were given veVy interesting talks on the testing of cattle by C. S. Rhodes of the University of Illinois, who has charge of the state cow testing. Thos. Murray of Harvard, the county leader of' the club, also accompanied the boys, and the trip not only proved a mighty interesting one, but most instructive as well. An interesting feature of the tour was the keen interest displayed by the coming dairymen of tomorrow and the general knowledge of cattle that was displayed by the youngsters. Those from here who made the tour are as follows: Ralph and Cla^ce Clemens, Charles Whiting, Earl Walsh, Lester and Frank Page and Albert Loeber. They arrived home from the trip about 7:00 o'clock in the evening. Enjoyed Picnic at Fom Park The McHenry chapter, O. E. S., held its annual picnic last Thursday. Besides the members, the occasion was also enjoyed by their families, while tfoe members of the McHenry Masonic lodge also went as their guests. The picnic this year was held at Foss park, North Chicago, automobiles carrying the McHenry delegation leaving this village about 10:00 o'clock that morning. There were about fifty in the party. They arrived at their destination at about the noon hour, when a picnic dinner was enjoyed. The afternoon was spent at games, a baseball game and bathing. A light luncheon was again partaken of jiist before six o'clock, after which the picnicers started on their homeward journey, arriving in McHenry between seven and eight o'clock. Those who made the trip declare the occasion to have been ojie of the most enjoyable ever undertaken. Bids Opened Bids on the new St. Patrick's church were received last week and varied in amounts from the lowest at $47,700.00 to the highest $85,000.00. The lowest bidder was a firm from Chicago, the Illinois Construction company. A meeting of the members of the parish on Sunday afternoon considered the matter of building, but it was almost unanimously decided that it would be better to delay beginning of operations until next spring. In the meantime an effort,will be made to raise the entire amount of money needed for building the church, which will be architecturally an unusually fine building. The series of socials, which are now being held on Saturday evenings, are so successful that they will be continued while the warm weather lasts. Saturday evening, August 6, the social will be in charge of the young men of the parish.

Farmers thruout the "locality were happy indeed with the rain which visited this section this week. The visitation at this time not only proved a great help for the pastures, but was also sadljf needed to help along that bumper cfop of corn. The ice cream social, gffen on the lawn at the home of Postmaster and Mrs. E. E. Basse^t on kain street last Friday evening for the! benefit of the M4 E. church, was well attended and as a consequence the church treasury has been nicely/anriched. i - S The automobile traffic thjm_&s 'r&f lage on Monday and Tuesday WftS considerably heavier than usual this week. This condition, in spite of the very unfavorable weather, gave evidence that the first two weeks in August are popular as. vacation periods. Our visitors over the week end weren't so numerous as usual, due, no doubt, to the opening of the Pageant of Progress exhibition at the municipal pier in Chicago. The sudden change in the weather may also have kept many in Chicago who otherwise would have been here, Miss Rosina Freund, who underwent an operation for appendicitis at the - Garfield Park hospital in Chicago recently, was able to return to her home here last Saturday. She is making a very rapid and satisfactory recovery from the effects of the operation.
