THeir attention is now directed to the securing of the cement highway from jRycaatore to the Wisconsin state Ute via Harvard. city council of Harvard last <ifbek passed an ordinance which requires every building to be recovered with fire proof roofing. Fifteen years are given the citizens to make the change. This means that all buildhereafter erected at Harvard jtfust have fire proof roofing. The cititens of Crystal Lake will eace more be given an opportunity to express themselves on Sunday night , moving picture shows at the regular city election to be held on April 18. The same question was voted on two ftars ago, when the Sunday movie importers lost out by a single vote. Fire alarm boxes at Algonquin are -Haw connected with the new electric flre whistle at the village hall in that municipality. Prior to the installation of the system, alarms were connected with the Bowman Milk company plant, but owing to the fact that very little steam is. now carried fit that institution during the night it ^s decided to make the change. Eighty-seven slot machine*, valued at $20,009 and confiscated during the Ijftt year in Fox Lake and vicinity, wore hauled to Waukegan from a warehouse at Fox Lake, where they had been stored for several months fftst, last Saturday morning.

With but very few exceptions, two factions have developed in our school fights for many years past, but the climax was reached last Saturday when well organized bodies, one headed by Froehlirh Miller and the other by Bolper-Freund, fought it out to a finish as a direct result of the fight Messrs. Thomas A. Bolger, Joseph W. Freund and John M, Sohinitt were given a clear vindication of their actions as members of the community high school board. The bitter feeling was % first engendered last year, when at the solitation of some of the Froehlich-Miller faction a number of men, self styled •a the "BUSINESS MEN OF Mc- HENRY," attended meetings of the community high school board with the express purpose in mind of dictating to that honorable bo^y just what should and what should' not be done as regards the building of a new community high school building. The visits of this delegation came with' marked regularity and with each meeting the "settings" became more and more interesting until about three months ago when the arguments changed from a luke warm to blood heat. Not satisfied with this the Froehlich-Miller faction next >aw fit to carry their grievances into the columns of The Plaindealer, which, instead of carrying weight for them, accomplished just the opposite, as the vote of last Saturday plainly gave evidence. The spirit of "we're out to get Freund" was carried on all thru the entire campaign and, while the opposing faction wasn't saying very much, they were working every minute, and just hoto successful they were in the solicitation of the good will of the voters of the district can best be taken from the actual result, whkh was as follows: District No. 1M Total vote cast 1122 Total vote cast in McHenry Ml Total vat* east in Ringwood .... 9tl The Vote Ringwood McHenry Total Freund .»... 178 582 710 Weber82 312 894 * " . Freand's plurality. .116 TTie result of the etertkm once more shows, without a shadow of doubt, that this community is made up of a class of people wfce are tiunkers and are able to distinguish right from wrong. They voted meat intelligently, used the beat of judgment and, last but not leaat, ma--ted the many nasty "digs" that they have been forced to take during the campaign and even up to the time of election? The Plaindealer ia indeed paund of theae people and gives them credit for etandihg right up straight and defending the rights which are theirs. A start just had to be made to hand a body blow to theae hand-picked, propaganda-spreading dictators and now that the real "business man and women" of the community have struck the Mow it should popa agoed lew on for the future. Dhtriet No. 15 Apparently tin fight waged in the community district proved contagious and was also carried into the old district, No. 15, now known as the grade school. Here the. antt-Froehlich crowd also carried the day by crowding out of oflee Wm. J. Welch and F. A. Cooley and electing Chas. B. Harmsen and M. J. Freund. John E. Pufakl, president of this body, who waa unopposed, was reelected., In this district a total of 846 votes were cast. They wore divided as follows: Far PraeUkflt John E.

While one or two surprises were sprung, the result came out about as had been predicted by county "dopeters" who watch these affairs just a trifle closer than do most of us. The one big surprise came\in the defeat of Ira C. Copley of Aurora as congressman in this, the eleventh district, which comprises the counties of McHenry. Kane, DuPage and Will. According to the very latest reports the Aurora lawyer ^ron out over Mr. Copley by about 3,500 votes. The race between Judge C. P. Barnes and Atty. Robert F. Marshall faHed to develop the cloRe battle that had been anticipated, the present county seat jurist winning put by a very handsome majority. - In the cases of Guy E. Still for epunty clerk and Lester Edlnger for sheriff it was a case of a walk-away. This had been predicted by many. lite closest contest for county offices developed in the fight for the treasurership, in which Roy J. Stewart and Fred A. Walters waged a cloea battle, Stewart winning out by about fifty votes. Another surprise to many was the defeat of Supt. Oswell G. Treadway of this village for the county superintendency of schools, Miss Hattie Dake of Harvard winning offer him by a neat margin.

Two weeks ago it'Jooked very much as if the village was to witness anothjgr one of those- exciting battles for which the municipality has long since become noted. However, after all of the scenery had apparently been set someone got busy with the men whose names were to appear on a second ticket, vith the result that each and every dne of them withdrew from the race, thus leaving but one ticket in the field so far as the trustees are concerned. The retiring members of the board, John R. Knox, Albert Krause and Peter Deherty, are again up for re-election, having filed their petitions under the head of "Citizen's" ticket. The men who had been selected to make the run against these three and who have withdrawn their names are Jos. J us ten, Herman Schaefer and Peter Freund. Math. P. Freund, who a f»w waaVq ago also announced himself as a candidate for the office of village clerk, has also withdrawn his candidacy, leaving the field to the preeent iricuntbent, Wm. G. Schreiner, and Floyd E. Thompson, Mr. Thompson having entered the race about two weeks ago, Both of the candidates are young men of the, progressive type and, if the dope at hand does not go entirely astray, the race will be a very close one. Both of the candidates are now making s quiet campaign among the voters of the village and each is out to win and will not give up the battle until after the dose of the polls next Tuesday evening. The news that the three retiring members of the village board woul<J again come up for re-election was heralded with a source of keen delight by their friends and supporters, who believe that these men, during their next term in offidb, wfll prove their true progressiveMBrf by giving McHenry' the improvements so kwg desired. The Plaindealer is making no recommendations as to how yea should vote on the village rltrtrnhjf As stated above, both men are highly respected citinm of the village, are of the progressive type and both are capable of performing well the duties connected with said office. Certificate of Service Awarded A certificate of service has been awarded to'the school of which Wayne E. Foss of Ringwood is the teacher for the contribution from the school toward saving the lives of thousands of helpless orphan children in the Near East The certificate was sent from the Illinois office* of Near East relief at 19 South LaSalle street, Chicago, and signed by Cleveland H. Dodge, national treasurer, C. V. Vickrey, general secretary, and John Finley, chairman of the national educational advisory committee. School children all over the state as well as all over the country are reported to be taking a great interest in this effort to raise funds to relieve the suffering among the children of the Near East The school contributions are a part of the general campaign in the state which Is designed to care for 20,000 orphan children for one year Each $60 raised in the state supports an orphan child for one year. The campaign thru the schools is put on with the approval and under the co operation of Francis G. Blair, who is chairman of the Illinois educational advisory board for Near Eaat relief. The Social Wheel The members of the Social Wheel held a most enjoyable meeting at the parlors of the U niversalist church on Saturday, April 1. One of the features of the occasion and which created no end of merriment was a foolmaking contest. Miss Pryor decorated several of the ladies, including herself, to represent different characters. She was judged the winner of the live ones, while Mrs. Bacon made the best April fool doll. The occasion proved one of the merriest ever enjoyed by the society. The Wheel will meet this (Thursday) afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. C. Holly. Public Card Party A public card party, under tfca auspices ol the Christian Mothers' society of St Mary's church, will take place at the parish hall on Tuesday evening of next week, April 18, at 8:00 o'clock. -Five hundred and bunco will be played, after which the winners of articles will be declared. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is most cordialy invited to attend. ^Admission, 35 cents. Easter Dance at Johnsburg Scores of young people thruout this entire community are looking forward with a source of great pleasure to the Easter dance which is to take place at "Stubby's" hall, Johnsburg, on Monday evening, April 17. The Foot River Four orchestra of McHenry will furnish the music. Dance tickets, war tax, 10c; total, $1;10. A cordial ^ Invitation ia extended to t HEME MISTS DDK ROAD BOONE COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE HERE MONDAY NIGHT Hie Presence Puts Real "Putkh" Into the Beet Meeting Yet Held By McHenry Community Club It takes more than a. down pour of rain to keep the members of the Community club of McHenry from attending a meeting of this body. This fact was never more evidenced than on Mor.day evening of this week, when members aad invited guests to the number of nearly one hundred gathered at. the K. of C. hall for the regular bi-monthly meeting of the organization. The meeting proved the very best yet held by the riew organisation and from the enthusiasm and "pep" which prevailed during the four hours in which the gathering sat in session we feel certain and the public may rest assured that the club is going to accomplish great things for the people of this entire community. Visiting guests, who helped very materially in injecting life and pep into the meeting, were Hon. William F. Pierce of Belvidere, H. F. Ferguser., chief sanitary engineer or Springfield, Mr. Ashley, engineer with the Wells Engineering company of Aurora and O. G. Harris, traveling representative of the Chicago Tribune. As a net result of the meeting and the appearance of the out-of-town visitors the citizens of McHenry and community can be given the following assurances: First that the work of installing McHenry's proposed sewerage system will henceforth be rushed with all possible speed; secondly, that we may feel reasonably sure that the proposed cement road will be built thru this village this year over a route whfch will serve the best interests of the greatest number of our people, and thirdly, that McHenry and her Fox river will be pushed harder than ever as a summer resort town. One of the first subjects which came up for discussion, after the meeting had been called to order by President W. L. Howell, was McHenry's sewerage proposition, which, as most of the readers of The Plaindealer already know, has been held up on account of entertaining just whaae the proposed sewerage disposal plant is to be located. The state engineer, sent to McHenry from the department of public health, Springfield, was the first to be called upon and responded hp going over the details as contained in the plans forwarded to their office for approval. Later on in the evening the question was flatly put to him as to whether or not it would be compulsory for the outlet of disposal plant of the proposed system be carried down stream, say for a stretch of a mile or two. His answer came in the negative. Applause. ' Mr. Ashley of the Wells Engineering oompany of Aurora, who made the surveys for the proposed system, was next called upon and was also given a hearty applause after he had told the gathering that, according to the new estimate, the cost of the proposed improvement would be approximately $100 per lot. State Representative William F. Pierce contributed a real "punch" when called upon to give his views as to the location of the proposed sewerage disposal plant He could see no reason why the plant could not be located as per the present plans and when called upon for legal advice as to the procedure for the board of local improvements to follow he extended the information in a manner which made a distinct hit with the crowd. Making himself distinctly clear on every point, the state official conveyed the impression that he "was happy to be of service to the people of our community and, while not a word of politics was mentioned during the entire evening, it could easily be seen that he made not a few votes among those assembled. Taking up the road uuMNfc in reference to route No. 20, which, in connecting the county seats of Lake and McHenry counties, passes thru the village of McHenry, he also made it clear that the citizens of McHenry ight rest assured that the road, in passing thru our municipality, would follow a route which would serve and benefit the greatest number of our inhabitants. This- statement brought forth a very pronounced applause. He let it be known that he is now and has always been a booster for good roads and urged that McHenry get busy immediately with the installation of the new sewer system, inferring that the people need n*ver expect the state of Illinois to construct a hard road thru the village and then have same undermined thru the installation of the proposed sewerage. "Get in your sewerage," he shouted, "and the state will give you your road." Enough said. The news almost seems too good to be true, but from the impression the speaker made with his audience it looked as if there were few, if any, who doubted his sincerity in the matter, and we are now led to believe that the good people of this comma FREE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE F of Knights of Columbus Ex-Service r • Men New Available '.The Plaindealer has been asked to give publicity, for the benefit of local Knights of Columbus and especially ex-service men, to the fact that that order has for some time past and is now conducting free correspondence courses for ex-service men who are members of the organization. Already one or two local ex-service men have taken advantage of the opportunity and are now taking a course. These courses are designed to bring free instruction in certain subjects to those ex-service men who, by reason of remoteness, lack of funds or other causes, have been unable to take advantage of the opportunity for iritruction in Knights of Columbus evening class, also free to ex-service men. Only one course will be issued to any applicant at a time. Upon your completion of the course in which you enroll now, you will be permitted to undertake an additional course, provided that the Knights of Columbus are in a position at that time to continue the work. However, no definite assurance of this can be given students at present. Any ex-service man who is a 'member of the Knights of Columbus and a member of the McHenry council will be ^given further information along this line by applying to Peter M. Justen of this village, who will be pleased to explain the plan in detail. Easter Services at Universalis! A union service will be conducted at the Universalist church on Easter Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock; the community Sunday school, the Universalist church and the Methodist church participating. Mr. Sanger, pastor of the Methodist church, will give the sermon. His subject will be 'The Easter Victory." Music appropriate to the Easter season will be sung by the young people's choir and by the choirs of the two churches. The program will be full at good things. A most cordial invitation is extended to everyone. Special attention is directed to the hour, which is 10:30, a half hour earlier than usual. Market your eggs at Erickson's. AS PICKED In eTv*h ei s VB-I mm. -s next and long for these two improvements, are to see their dreams realised before the close of another year. A ten minute recess was taken to partake of a sandwich and cup of coffee, after which the meeting was resumed with renewed energy and it was well past the midnight hour before the motion was made to adjourn. One of the things disposed of during the evening and which should bring a great big credit mark for the club, lies in thfc» decision to take hold of the road proposition by cleaning up some of the real bad spots near this village, which for some time past has been impassable. It was decided to make today (Thursday) and weather permitting, a good roads day, quite a large number of the members of the club volunteering their services, teams and trucks to go out and do up the job. "JPhe last matter, and probably just as important as the others, was the starting of a movement to advertise our community and river as a summer resort In order that the assemblage might be given the experience of a man well posted in summer resort advertising, the publicity committee had previously arranged to have with us 0. G. Harris, traveling representative of the Chicago Tribune, who, after being introduced, made a short talk and volunteered to answer any and all questions which might be put to him. To this there were several responses and after a half hour or more had been occupied in discussing the advertising values and how best to get results, it was finally moved and seconded to leave this question for final disposal to the members of the publicity committee. Just how extensive a campaign will |be put on this year depends entirely with the business men and others who have the best interests of our community at heart, The suggestion was made by Mr. Harris that a $500 fund would be a good start for such a campaign, while others who have had more or less experience in big advertising seemed to be of the opinion that a fund of no less than $2,000 must be created in order that satisfactory results might be obtained. Therefore it is plain to be sera that the greater the subscription the bigger the campaign and actual results. The publicity committee wttl make •Ug rOUiid" G* tieS Knomejca jwa^a^ifc nmi all others interested within the course of the^pext week, during which time some so^t of an idea will be gained as to jus^the sort of an advertising! proposition^ can be put over by Mc-j Henry.
