It looks now as if the business men of Barrigton will again enjoy an all ' day picnic and outing this summer- Such an occasion has been held by the Barrington folks at Lake Geneva, Wis-, during the past two years and, according to reports eminating from that municipality, the folks there are strong for such an occasion. The famous herd of goats owned by Charles A. Stevens, proprietor of the LaSalle hotel, was sold at public auction on the latter's farm on the north side of Delavan lake last Saturday. The herd numbered ninety-two head, including twenty kids. Fifty of the head are milking, with the daily output averaging twenty-eight gallons. The milk has been shipped to Chicago for use in hospitals and the LaSalle hotel. The McHenry board of review is now in seesion at Woodstock and, according to reports, a number of property owners, whom it is believed have not divulged all of their holdings, will •je 'is 4 WOODSTOCK TO CELEBRATE 3 i if PatifeJPraarisee to Be thefkwt Brer r *• Held There Woodstock post, No. 412, American Legion, will hold its third annual grand fete at the fair grounds at Woodstock on July 4. No effort has been spared to make the day one that will be long remembered by all who are fortunate enough to be in attendance. At ten o'clock the fire whistle will blow announcing the start of the big parade. Everyone will remember the magnitude and beauty of last year's effort along this line. This year's parade will surpass it in all respects. It will comprise fifty artistic floats, three bands, two orchestras, steam calliope, boy scouts, girl scouts, 'high school girb dressed to represent a human flag and many other features worth traveling miles to see. You absolutely cannot afford to miss the parade. Immediately after the parade the baseball game between the Greenwood Sox and the Hartland Giants will start. There has been a keen rivalry between these two suburbs of Woodstock for several years. Both teams are in good condition and a red hot contest is sure to ensue. Following the Greenwood-Hartland game will be an indoor ball game between Woodstock and Marengo. This is a new game in these parts, but for excitement and enthusiasm it cannot be beat for a good hour's amusement. The afternoon game will be played between Woodstock and Cary. Woodstock has defeated Cary by a one run score earlier in the season, buC Mr. Hubert and his gang are out to even things up on the Fourth. The ball game program is complete in every respect. At one o'clock the bugle blows announcing the first heat in the horse races. The afternoon program includes a 2:25 trot, 2:25 pace and a mixed race. The purse is $300, no deductions, making a total of $900 to be given out in prizes for the horse races alone. The very best horses from this part of the country have been entered to start Doc Hutchinson and his string are already at the Woodstock stables in training. And remember, they are thorobreds, every one. The evening program consists of a band concert by Weldon's famous Oliver band. And at eight o'clock will commence the most gorgeous and magnificent display of fireworks ever seen in McHenry county. Following the fireworks will be the big event of the day. Peter Umathum post will give away a new Ford sedan and a new Ford coupe to the parties holding the lucky numbers in the big car contest. This in itself is a com- -plete celebration. There are many tickets out, but someone must get the cars. The Brundage shows, a twenty-five car carnival, will be on the grounds all day and during the ensuing week. This show comprises merry-go rounds, ferris wheels, auto races, water carnival and fourteen other shows, all big attractions. This is a clean highclass carnival, whose slogan is "We comply with the pure food laws." This is positively the biggest event of ts kind that has ever shown in McHenry county. Again we repeat, ail roads lead to Woodstock the 4th. Drowned In Rock River Curtis Behlke, twelve-year-old son of Mrs. Elizabeth Behlke of' Rock Island, was drowned while swimming in Rock river on June 14. The lad, in company with four companions, had been swimming along the shore and just as his companions had gone to shore to dress young Behlke started to swim towards midstream, where he was caught in the strong current and towed under. In spite of heroic efforts on the part of his companions to save him the boy sank and was drowned. The Behlke family at one time resided in this village, the father having conducted a harness shop on the West Side. Since leaving McHenry the father has passed away. McHenry friends extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. First Methodist Church The Series of sermons on "What Can We Believe" will be continued this next Sunday, when the source book of our Christian religion will be discussed. The subject of the sermon ENGAGE SUnXffllQQBff C. H. DUKER COMES TO McHENRY FROM HUNTLEY Will Have Charge of Community as Well Ah Grade Schools--Still Four Vacancies • At a regular Meeting M McHenry community high school board held on Tuesday evening of this week, at which there were also present three members of the grade school board, the services of C. H. Duker were engaged as superintendent of the two schools for the coming year and thus a matter which has been hanging firp for some weeks post has finally come to an amiable settlement. The newly engaged h4ad of the Ms- Henry school system has been at the head of the Huntley school system during the past three years and comes to McHenry very highly recommended. His salary will be $3,000, which is $500 less than that paid his predecessor. In view of the fact that the proposed community high school building cannot be completed before the spring of 1923 and also the expected increase in school attendance has made it necessary to make some changes in the two schools. By an agreement as reached between the Community school board and the committee representing the grade school board, the entire salary of the school superintendent will be paid by the community board, which will also pay a rental of $200 for the use of their quarters occupied in the present school building. Last year the community high school board paid $2,000 of the superintendent's salary and also paid a rental of $2,100! Under the new agreement the community high school must also vacate the room whicfy was originally built for gymnasium purposes, but which the high school has used for class and study room. It has further been agreed that the primary grade, which last year occupied the east room of the second floor of the building, will move down stairs to the room which has always been used by the little folks. The high school, in turn, will again occupy the quarters on the second floor thus vacated by their younger sisters and brothers. In order to make up for the space thus lost the community board finds itself confronting a situation which means the immediate construction of a temporary buildiftg. Provisions for such a structure, we are informed, will be made immediately so that work on same may start at the earliest possible moment and thus assure its completion for tin opening of the fall term. According to meagre plans on hand the additional space will be provided by the building of a barrack on the east side of the main building. It will be portable in construction. The present heating system, it is believed, will be found sufficiently large to take care of the new temporary quarters. Should this prove to be a fact, the Cost of heating the barrack will be comparatively small as it will mean only the purchase of radiation. Since the hiring of the superintendent there now exists but four vacancies, three in the high school and one in the grade schools, and, according to our information, these positions will all be filled long before the start of another school term. As a matter of fact, the two boards are now in possession of * large number of applications for the vacancies still open and it is only a matter of making a selection. The Plaindealer is pleased to report the above action and trusts that the unpleasantness, caused by the last school election, will be thrust aside and everyone again work harmoniously and for the best mfcr--ts at everyone .concerned. : * Fell Down Stairway Mrs. John Schuenemann met with quite a painful accident at her home on Riverside Drive one day last week when she fgll down the stairway, spraining one of her arms. She was unconscious when picked up by her sister and daughter-in-law, but after some minutes was revived. It was at first feared that she had been seriously injured, but upon examination by Dr. C. H.' Fegers, who was called, it was found that no bones had been broken. I'! - ?• ~i"4 •ilnl ^ will be "The Nature and Use of the "the | Bible." What i. the toto rf this board this year are R. E. Haeger of ^reat IMM Algonquin, chairman; Delos Wright of Marengo and J. T. Bower of Richmond. William Desmond is the clerk, a position he has held for the past twenty years. The Holstein-Friesian association of America announces a new Illinois champion cow for the 805 day division of the full aged class. She is Sinama Kantje Alexander, owned by John Saxauer & Sons of Belvidere. She made 22,493.8 pounds of milk and 726.10 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 907.6 pounds of butter. By this record she displaces Sonoma Kantje Colanthus, also owned by the same breeders, whose record is 20,766.1 pounds of milk and 678.08 pounds of book which contains many books? What is its basis of authority? How did it come into being? Is all revelation contained therein? In view of its nature what shall be our use of it? A question box will be placed at the rear of the church for those who wish to ask further about any of these discussions. The service begins at 11:00 o'clock following the Sunday school, which starts at 10:00. Hunter Boat Line The Hunter boat line is once more in operation and the regular daily schedule will be continued thruout the suauner season. Boats leave docks daily at 9:00 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. Large and small boats may be chartered by the hour, day or week. The Hunter Boat, N* 7. w. ; 'i % - * Pouring Cement at St. Patrick's The pastor and parishioners of St. Patrick's parish here are more than delighted with the excellent progress that has thus far been made on the new building. The excavating was completed on Tuesday of this week and since then the pouring of cement has been under way. If the present speed is kept up the new edifice should be completed and ready for occupancy by the first of the year. Postpone Picnic account of the shortness of time to prepare for the event, the picnic, planned by the members of St Patrick's parish and which was to have taken place on July 4, has been postponed until Labor day. This will give the workers plenty of time to arrange for an event which the parish hopes .a to m$ke the biggest and best of^the I ldnd ever attempted hem, . GOLF COURSE OPENING SUNDAY Number of Visitors Exuscted .'% Witness the Event to Unless rain interfere the McHenry Country club's golf links will witness their official opening next Sunday morning at ten o'clock, at which time Mr. Sidney Smith, Chicago Tribune's famous cartoonist, and whose summer home is located at Howell's Villa, near this village, will make the first drive. The opening, according to advance word, will be witnessed by a number of the leading golf enthusiasts from the various towns of McHenry as well as Lake counties. In fact, according to the more enthusiastic members of the local club, the opening of McHenry's very latest acquisition will be a most auspicious one. Lovers of this great international pastime, who have gone over the local course, are more than pleased with the layout and unless our information is all wrong the course will soon come to be recognized as one of the best to be found anywhere. ' The membership of the club has passed the century mark and we predict that within a year that number will be more than doubled. Applications for membership still continue to come in at a very pleasing rate. It is the hope of the officials of the club that every member will be present at the opening next Sunday morning and by their presence assist in making it one of more than passing interest. That there will be numerous visitors on hand is certain. On July 4th the event at the club will be a blind bogey tournament. The bogey for the course, twice around, 18 holes, is 82. The chairman of the tournament committee will select some number between 82 and 92 as a blind bogey, which only he will know and which will be kept blind until after the tournament is finished. Then each player will select his own handicap, which will be deducted from the total score, and the one coming nearest to the number selected, either higher or lower, will win the prize. The prizes for_ this event will consist of two dozen golf balls, one dozen for the men and one dozen for the women. Fdr the lowest gross score the prize will consist of three balls, also three balls for the player coming nearest to the number selected, two balls for the one coming next nearest and fourth prizes one each for the four next nearest A large entry is expected in this tournament. The club has also made arrangement for the rental of the Fox dancing pavilion east of the river, where a public dancing party will be conducted on Wednesday evening, July 12. The plans of the club are to make this occasion one of the most enjoyable ever held in McHenry and a big crowd is sure to attend. Final arrangements for the music have not as yet been made, but all may rest assured that a first-class orchestra will be engaged. Mr. Purvey, who for a number of years has been the caretaker of the Woodstock golf grounds, has been secured by the local organization to officiate in a like capacity here. He comes to the McHenry club very highly recommended and has already taken over his duties. $4950 BOYS SCHOOL SITE MOST OF HERBES TRACT WILL BE PURCHASED All Except Two of Owners Consent to Sell at Prices Offered Them--Board Speeds Up ; All except tiro Jot the owners of the Her bee tract, which has been selected as the site for the proposed new community high school building, have accepted the figures «s offered them by the school board. Accordingly the board's attorney has been advised to get busy at once to close up with these various owners so that actual work on the new building may begin at the earliest possible moment . When asked as to what the board intended doing regarding the other two lots, a Plaiftdealer scribe was told by one of the school men that, while the board liked very much to obtain the entire stretch, they are well satisfied and feel that they have all the room required. Th6 lots and parcels of lots, upon which a price has been made and accepted, include part of lots 1 and 8 and all of lots 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.. Owners of part of lot 1 and lot 2 seemingly aren't satisfied with the offer made them and consequently have refused to sell. The property which is soon to pass from private to school ownership and the price paid for each follows: Lots 3 and 4, which include the old frame house and barn held by Mrs. Nicholas Stoffel, who resides in the west, $2,500. Lots 5 and 6, including the little brick dwelling andy held by Anthony Schacker, who resides in Nebraska, $1,300. Lot 7, held by Englebert Herbes, also a resident of the west, $600. Part of lot 8, held by Frank J. Herbes of Detroit, Mich., $250. Part of lot 1, held by William H. Heimer, $250. This includes the entire stretch*" of the Herbes tract with the possible exception of part of lots 1 and 8 and the whole of lot 2. Whether'6r not these stretches will be obtained later on remains a matter of conjecture. As stated above, Atty. E. H. Waite of Woodstock, who is the school board's attorney, has been instructed to close up the transfers of the above property at the earliest possible moment The bonds for the purchase of the site and erection of the new building are now in the hands of the printers and it is the hope of the board to have matters in such shape as to enable them to advertise for bids on the bonds at a very early date. Taking the present day bond market as a criterion, the board fully VEW BOAT LAUNCHER Lsr«Mt Best on Fox Rhmr ing Service The big passenger boat, which has been under construction at the Hunter boat factory here during the past several weeks, was launched here at exactly eleven o'clock last Saturday evening and on Sunday made her maiden trip up the beautiful Fox and around Pistakee Bay. While the big water palace is actually in commission, workmen have been on her deck every day since Sunday and by next Sunday the craft should be complete in every detail. The Logan Square Masonic order, which took dinner at Justen's hotel last Sunday, was accorded the honor of making the first trip on the new boat. Sixty-four of the delegation made the trip and there was plenty of space for walking about the deck. In fact, another forty would not have made the deck the least uncomfortable. The craft, when entirely completed, will be a double decker, altho for the present the top deck will be uncovered. The two decks, we are told, will seat 200 people very comfortably. On account of its height the craft will be docked at the boat factory pier until such time as the water goes down sufficiently to allow same to pass underneath the river bridge at this point. However, the smaller boats of the Hunter line will make Justen's pier their regular docks. Passengers will be taken on here and then transferred to the larger boat at the Hunter pier. Mr. Hunter also informs us that a landing is to be erected just north of the east approach to the river bridge. A stairway will be constructed from the bridge's approach to the landing, thus saving those wishing to board the big boat considerable walk. The new acquisition to the Hunter boat line which, beginning next Sunday, will make regular trips up Fox river and around the lakes, will be equipped with boat furniture of the very latest design and especially built for comfort The floors will be rugged. The boat will also have all of the conveniences, including ladies' and gents' toilets. There will be eool drinking water on deck, while a phonograph will provide music. The craft is now anchored at the Hunter pier, where workmen are giving it the final touches. Inspection of the big water craft is invited by the builder and owner. ITERS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BY REPORTERS DQUNS Ressrtmrs Completing Water Trip Our friend, Carlton Prouty of Winnetka, whose summer home in located on the east banks of Fox river in the vicinity of the dam, has completed hopes and expects to sell these bonds(|another water trip, accompanied by at a premium and will be very much disappointed if this does not come to pass. By waiting as long as they have some of the board members feel that they have caused a vast saving to the tax payers of the school district. Both Harvard and Woodstock let their school contracts during a time when the prices were at or near the peak, while the bond markets were not nearly as strong a we find them today. As a result of this, unless we are incorrectly informed, both of A shelter, equipped with toilets and j these schools' bonds sold far below lavatories, is now under construction This is especially true in Woodand will be ready for the opening next Sunday. The grounds appear in almost perfect playing condition. Rustic bridges have been erected across the creek and the other many little details have been so well looked after that golfers on their first trip to the grounds will be made to feel perfectly at home. stock's case, where the reductions amounted to several thousand dollars. Thus it may be seen that the local board has used very good judgment by waiting until the present time. In return for the sacrifice thus made the patrons and scholars of district No. 156 will be given a school which will in every way compare favorably with any to be found in any town the size Mrs. H.

The property, which the board hopes to acquire very shortly, will give them a frontage of 366 feet on Elgin road, almost as much frontage as that qf the Woodstock site, and at a lower price. According to Illinois Women's Athletic club, entertained the art committee of that organization at her cottage on the Fox river on Saturday, June 24.

The proposed building will be approximately 140 feet in length and 100 feet in depth, altho the board may be obliged to trim this down just a trifle in order to keep the total cost within the $125,000 limit The building, we are told, will be a model in architecture, plenty large enough to take care of local needs for some years to come and at the same time provide for a liberal expansion.

The explorers left their home at Winnetka last week and made the trip to Alton, 111., a distance of 353 miles. The course followed in making the trip was the Chicago drainage canal, the Chicago river, the Desplaines river, Illinois and Mississippi. The trip was made in the new Water Gypsy No. 2, using sail and oars, no motor. A post card mailed to this office by Skinner Prouty during the trip conveyed the message that he expected to complete the entire distance in fourteen days. The average distance covered per day was twenty-five miles. They carried their own camping outfits, acted as their own cooks and laundresses and judging from the tone of the message were happy.
