The annual soldiers' and sailors' re- . fP^ion of Lake County will be held at wayslake this year. The dates for the event have been set for August 16 and 17. The Richmond and Genoa Junction ;'#sts of the American Legion will hold a midsummer festival at the State Line ball park on August 24, 25 and 26. One hundred and twenty-nine dollars and seventy-one cents were collected far the library at Crystal Lake one day last week. The money was procured by tagging. The new cement road extending •' l5ppm Meyers' corners in Barrington ' to the Hollister hill in Cuba township has been opened to traffic as far as the E. J. & E. railroad crossing. Hebron evidently has quite a large Mmber of Chicago mail order pat- Whs. Some 167 catalogues were shipped to that village by Sears, Roeback & Co. of Chicago last week. The village board of Barrington has <$0cidcd to enforce an ordinance which prohibits the riding of bicycles and Velocipedes on the sidewalks, the practice having become more or less of smuisance the're. •Howard Conn of Woodstock, who .dtring the past few months has been operating the hotel and restaurant on North Main street, Crystal Lake, has again disposed of the place to the former owner, A. Bliss. iTwo Elgin men made the distance 'trom New York to Chicago via automobile in exactly two and one-half days. An average speed of thirtythree miles an hour was maintained thruout the entire journey. The grocery of Harvey J. Jensen of "Woodstock was entered one night last lieek, the thieves making their getaway with one gallon of ice cream, six packages of cigarettes, a bottle of : milk, some candy and $4.00 in change. Ignatz Pots, slayer of Patrolman Peterson of Winthrop Harbor, who hfts been confined in the Lake county jail at Waukegan during the past several months, has started serving a life sentence in the Joliet state penivtentiary. . The Southern Wisconsin Electric tfgmpany, which besides serving a lumber of towns in southern Wisconsin also furnishes electricity for Richmond, has just declared a quarterly dividend of $1.75 upon efech share of He outstanding preferred stock. With the 18-foot concrete road ' completed thru the village, residents «|ong Main street, Wauconda, are circulating k petition asking that the business section be cemented from curb to curb. Those circulating the petition, it is said, are meeting with considerable encouragement. Woodstock is to provide a tourist Cfmp, which is located at Standpipe V.'fkrk. The city is to provide the ~ lights, sand and water, while the Commercial club will build a shelter. Many of the cities and towns thruout the United States are now provid- |g such a rest place for automobile J The Lake yifla Township Commercial association announces the dates for the holding of its annual festival as August 11 and 12. This atinual event never fails to draw large crowds and from the preparations #at are now being made the occasion should prove even bigger and more successful than previous efforts in this ] direction. It is expected that actual work on the construction of the cement road north of Lake Zurich will start very jjoon. Up until this time the laborers ' have confined their attention to the filling in of low places and building ty-idges. The big cement mixer is feeing put in readiness for work, which •eems to indicate that the laying of •r tfement will start soon. Now the retail ice cream dealers at ce Zurich have brought injunction roceedingB against the village board restrain that body from collec tion of a license tax of $50 placed up- #i them. First it was the soft drink vl(ien who fought the license and now the ice cream dealers. The of the two injunctions is bewatched with unusual interest by ers as well as their neighbors. ** • Miss Ella Newman, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Newman, and Edward J. Buss, only son of Mrs. Elizabeth Buss, were united in marriage at St. Patrick's church in this village at seven o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week, the ceremony having been performed by Rev. M. J. McEvoy. Attending the couple were Miss Vera Buss, a sister of the groom, and Clarence Niesen. The bride wore a white canton crepe gown with hat to matoh and carried roses and lilies of the valley. The bridesmaid was attired in a periwinkle blue crepe govrn with hat to match and carried roses. Members of the families and close friends witnessed the ceremony. A wedding breakfast was served the couple at the home of the groom's mother immediately after the ceremony. They left shortly thereafter via automobile for Starved^ Rock, where they expect to spend a part of their honeymoon. The bride of the union grew up in this village, where by her pfeastng manner she has endeared hofoelf to a host of friends. The groom, a graduate of the Mc- Henry high school, during the past few years has been a valued employe in the office of the Star garage. His jovial disposition and business qualifications have won for him scores of admiring friends. Upon the couple's return to this village they will, temporarily at least, make their home with the groom's mother. The Plaindealer joins their many friends in extending congratulations. IpcHENRY GETS NOTHING New Read Awards Mesa NMhfag to Our County/ The department of public works and buildings last Saturday announced the award of 90 miles of "f»vement, 12.98 miles of heavy grading and 17 separate bridge contracts, aggregating 26 separate bridges. The action followed a conference between C. R. Miller, director of the department of public works and building, and Frank T. Sheets, superintendent of highways. The average cost per mile of the pavement well within the governor's limit of $30,000 per mile. The prices for grading, bridges and steel were also very favorable. As this action comes very <flose to completing this year's hard road program, it looks as if McHenry county must now wait until the very last letting. To say the very least, the ^ood roads boosters of the county and especially of McHenry, who h»t spring worked so hard to start a good road program in this county, are very much disappointed to learn that our stretch was not included in last Saturday's letting, but this action isn't going to prevent us from keeping right on fighting for the construction of the McHenry-Volo stretch. Honor Mr. and Mrs. A. Granger Thirty-six members of the Y. W. C. T. U. of Waukegan, who are at Camp Minowe on the shore of Griswold lake, honored Mr. and Mrs. A. Granger at their home east of this village on the evening of the 19th inst, with quite an ovation. They came in mass, a light hearted, innocent throng, with books and song, together with friends and relatives numbering nearly forty. Mr. and Mrs. Granger felt highly entertained and very happy. The open concert singing was excellent and elevating, the "acting" was fine and selections most appropriate. Also a great deal of fun was produced by the motion demonstrations of what they sang. Great credit is ascribed to the leader and all of Camp Minowe, who contributed so much to the edification and thoro enjoyment. It was perfect day, always to be remembered. Three cheers for Camp Minowe of the Y. W. C. T. U. of Waukegan. HEW WOODWORKING PLANT TO START OPERATIONS WEEK NEXT Building Already Completed and Machinery Installed--Expect to .Supply Contractors Unless unavoidable delays prevent, there will be in operation here by next week a fully equipped woodworking plant. A frame bpilding, 20x40 feet, has been erected' on the Frank Hughes property, on the Pistakee Bay road, a short distance east of the Fox river, and, according to a member of the new concern, the building will be enlarged to twice its present size before the end of the year. The men interested in the new en-> terprise are S. J. Frazer, Al. Newbury and A. C. Reynolds, all of whom are experienced builders, while the latter is also an expert on machinery. The plant's equipment consists of a sticker or moulding machine, plainer and jointer, band saw and a combination cross and rip saw. With this equipment the firm claims to be«in a position to turn out anything in the way of woodwork and guarantees .satisfactory workmanship. S. J. Frazer is now engaged in the contracting and building business here and has done considerable work within the village and along the river this spring and summer. Mr. Newbury has only recently moved Out here from Chicago. He has had years of experience in building. A. C. Reynolds firs^ came to McHenry last year, when he was employed in the cabinet building department at the Hunter factory. He returned east last fall only to return to McHenry this spring. He is an expert woodworker and is also thoroly familiar with machinery of the kind that is to be used in the new factory. In an interview with one of the members of the firm on Monday of this week the writer was told that it was the plan of the new concern to be in a position to make up anything in the woodworking line. The plant, he figured, would be a great aid to local contractors and builders, as it would place them in a position where they could get their doors, windows and other building material which they have been in the habit of having made up elsewhere and which quite often means more or less of a delay. It is awarded was $27,167.18, including a very common occurrence that buildcement and all other items, which is- -ing operations are brought to a com Bar Sevcath lfathday Mrs. John Engeln entertalrtetf* a company of little folks on Tuesday afternoon of this week in honor of theeventh birthday anniversary of her daughter, Virginia. Games were played for a few hours, after which a luncheon was enjoyed. Those present were Helen Wegener, Helen Weber, Arline Bacon, Adelene Vogt, Evelyn Karls, Loraine Knox, Kathryn and Margaret Bishop. The occasion was thoroly enj&yed by the little guests. * Corner Stone Laying Scan Altho a definite date has not as yet been set, it is very likely that the laying of the corner stone at St. Patrick's new church will take place somp time within the course of the next three weeks. According to Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's, the Rt. Rev. Bishop P. J. Muldoon of Roekford will be here on that occasion and besides taking charge of the ceremonies at the corner stone laying he will alao confirm ; of young people. plete standstill owing to the fact that the mill work was not delivered as rapidly as needed. When once in operation much of this inconvenience and delay may and will be avoided. "We also expect to manufacture a great deal of lattice work, which during the past few years has come into popular use," added our informant, "and if we can get at least a fair share of the local business I am satisfied that our plant will be kept in operation thruout the year." Individual electric motors, furnish the power, lor the machinery to the plant . . Auto Victims Found By Rev. Berthold Rev. Edward Berthold, former pastor of St. Mary's church in this village, and now in charge of the Catholic church at Virgil, 111., rendered first aid and summoned assistance for two men who had been seriously injured in an auto accident which occurred near St. Charles about,four o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A machine, carrying Peter and Alphonse Van Duyse and driven by Gust Olleman of St. Charles, went into the ditch near that city when one of the front wheels broke- In the crash that followed Peter Van Duyse was instantly killed, while his brother was very seriously injured as was the driver. The former McHenry' pastor, who happened along in his machine about an hour after the accident, dis-i covered the victims. They were on their way to St. Charles from DeKalb, to which city the dead man and the driver had driven to notify Alphonse Van Duyse of the death of his sister, which had occurred quite suddenly during Monday night. As a result of die tragedy a double funeral was held at St. Charles this morning. New Photo Establishment The Fox River & Lakes Photo company is the name of a new business concern which has rented quarters in the Heimer block on Elm street. The offiials of the company believe that this resort region offers an excellent field for a business of the kind. Cameras and camera supplies as well as sporting goods will be handled, while they will also do finishing of amateur photography. A 24-hour service is featured by the concern. Read their display advertisement which appears elsewhere in this week's issue of The Plaindealer. John Klapperich Dead ' John Klapperich, well known to many of our readers, passed away at his late home at Meyers, la., on Tuesday of this week. He was a brother of Mrs. S. H. Freund, Mrs. N. F. Freund and H. J. Klapperich of this village and vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Klapperich, Mrs. S. H. Freund and Mrs. J. J. Smith left Wedto attend the funeraL ENJOY SUPERVISORS' OUTING -XBoat Excursion Participated I« Nearly One Hundred Br The annual boat ride and outing, as sponored by die McHenry county board of supervisors, and which started from this village on Tuesday morning of this week, was enjoyed by nearly one hundred people. As per previous arrangements, the happy delegation boarded the "Gladola" at the Hunter boat line pier about ten o'clock that morning for a trip up Fox river aod thru the various lakes to t^e north. After leaving Fox river the big craft turned into Pistakee bay, where former County Judge D. T. Smiley who owns a beautiful summer home at this point, was token aboard. After taking in the sights along this shore, the boat proceeded on its way to Nippers) nk lake. The first stop was made at the Point Comfort hotel, Fox Lake, where a bountiful dinner was enjoyed. With dinner over and a short rest, the delegation was again ready to proceed on its way. The next stop was made in Grass lake, just at the mouth of the world famous lotus beds. Some time was spent at this point. A trip around Fox lake, every foot of which was thoroly enjoyed by everyone on board, and the craft was once more headed .for home, arriving at the starting point about six o'clock that evening. The McHenry supervisor, S. H. Freund, who had made all arrangements for the trip, was tendered a vote of thanks for his efforts in providing such a pleasant occasion. The visitors, many of whom had never before made this water trip, were more than delighted with the day's outing. In fact, so pleased was the delegation that a like event was planned for next year. The beautiful water craft and its comfortable equipment as well as the owner also came in for many favorable comments and to say the very least Tuesday's outing wilt go on record as the biggest and best of the kind ever undertaken by the members of the board. K. OF C. PICNIC SUNDAY Woidatock Council Sponsors For County Knights "'ZM* .. f ' i - iW-kr, m:* J"* * '<, v - "iWO' V The Woodstock council, Knights of Columbus, have taken the initiative in planning foe a picnic to . which all Knights of Columbus of the county are invited. The outing will be held at Opatrny's grove, Fox River Grove, near Cary, next Sunday, July 23, and. according to arrangements, will be an all day event. The invitation to the McHenry council was made known at last Thursday night's meeting of the local body and, while invitations have not been sent out, The Plaindealer has been authorized to extend to every local Knight as well as all members of their families to attend the event, which gives promise of terminating into a very jolly affair. The Harvard Knights will play the Woodstock team at 11:00 o'clock in the morning. This will be followed by an indoor baseball game between Riley's Bucks of Woodstock and the regular K. of C. team. The McHenry team will play the winners. Everyone is asked to bring their own picnic lunch. McAndrews' orchestra will furnish the music during the afternoon. Cold drinks, ice cream and candy will bo served on the grounds. No doubt the McHenry council will be well represented at the picnic. Sold Twenty Lote "We had too many lots" is about the manner in which one of the men interested in the sale of Lakeview expressed himself when asked just how many lots had ben sold The sale of the lots was opened last Saturday afternoon, but it was plain to be seen that most of the crowd had come to look on and not for the purpose of buying. Another (attempt was made to sell more lots that evening, but to no avail. After the third attempt on Monday, agents for the Federal Land and Sub-Division Co., who had taken over the stretch, gave up the job. All told about twenty of the ninety-one lots were sold. The average price waa something like $190. ? Disgusting *n»e" little folks insisted ing so much noise during the band, concert last evening that for a time it was doubtful whether or not the band men would complete the evening's program. The actions of the youngsters not only interferred with the musicians, but sent a number of the older folks who had come out to listen to the fine program away in perfect disgust. There isn't a town anywhere which will for a moment tolerate such a nuisance and why McHenry should be the exception is more than many of us cr.n understand. If these concerts are to be continued better order must prevail. ..." Hampshire will have a ntf* milk factory providing dairymen in that locality will guarantee to deliver to the' proposed plant pounds of milk daily* , . . SO0OL BONDS ARE ntlHTED COMMUNITY BOARD EXPECTING BIDS SOON Temporary Quarters to Be Diwunwd at Next Tuesday Nighfa Beard Meeting Matters pertaining to the building of a new community ftigj) school in McHenry are slowly but surely ta]j^£ form. According to information from Atty. E. H. Waite of Woodstock, the bonds are now being printed and will soon be ready. The various bonding houses of Chicago are now collecting all data regarding the school district so as to place them in a position to intelligently make a bid on the bonds that will later be offered for sale. On account of the fac-t that, these bonding houses are very particular concerning this data, it requires considerable time and study before all of this matter can be gathered up and placed in such shape as to enable these concerns to render a bid. However, according to the school secretary, practically all of this information is now in the hands of the bonding houses and bids should be eoming in almost any day. Another matter concerning the local community high school and which will come up for discussion at the next regular meeting of the school board, to be held next Tuesday* evening, is that' of building temporary quarters. The board will have with them on this occasion one or more men representing Chicago concerns who are making specialties of erecting temporary school quarters. In Chicago, so we are quite reliably informed, there are now quite a number of these temporary quarters in use. According to Prof. C. H. Duker, who has been engaged to superintend the two schools here during the coming school year, it will not be necessary to erect as large a temporary building as had at first been planned. Thry a slight rearrangement of the present quarters, he believes, just a small temporary building can be made to answer the purpose for the coming term. The Plaindealer hopfes to be able to report that considerable progress has been made in the preliminary work attendant to the disposing, of our bonds in next week's issue. CERMAK'S "CHICAGO" WINS M AKING EXCELLENT SHOWING McHenry County Well Represented at Hobtein Cow Testing Plant 50M People Witness Speed - Events Sunday Boat .An estimated crowd of over 5,000 people witnessed the motor boat races run under the auspices of Jthe Fox River & Lakes Improvement association at Fox Lake last Sunday afternoon. In the free-for-all race Alderman Cermak's "City of Chicago" won with "Miss Modesty" second and 'Janice" third. Milhelen T won the bang and go event, "Janice," second, and "Irene" third. The winning craft is owned by Eddie Tancel of Chicago. "Miss Modesty," owned by Harry Goetz, also of Chicago, won the 705 piston class event. The 740 piston ctacs, which includes the "City of Chicago," was won by the power boat "Myrtle," which finished a few feet ahead of the craft owned and piloted by the Chicago alderman. First Methodist Church The fifth of the series of sermons on "What Can We Believe" will be given Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service. The title is "Man s Nature." What has religion to say as to the ^nature of man ? What is he ? Is the fact of sin in his nature a reality ? Does Christianity contribute in the making and remaking such a nature? These questions will be predominant in the discussion. The Sunlay session of the church school meets is usual at the ten o'clock hour. On Saturday morning the school is invited to make a boat trip in one of Mr. Hunter's launches. Pupils and teachers are asked to meet either at the church at nine o'clock or at Justen's pier at nine thirty. Attention also called to the program to be given by the children of the daily vacation church school at the Methodist church an Friday evening at eight o'clock. An offering will be taken at that time to defray tho,o*- pense of equipment. % ' Auto Books Jfot Out Contributions for the building fund of the new church are now being received, each contributor being given ticket which entitles the holder to a chance on an automobile. Two machines are to be given away at the big festival to be held in Conway's park, east of the river, on Labor day. One of the machines is a six cylinder Studebaker touring car and the other a six cylinder Buick touring . Report Fine Catch Herman Schaefer of this viltage and George Kuntzman of Elgin report a fine catch of fish. In one hour spent on Fox river last Sunday they were successful in landing three fine bass and one pickerel, the larger of the bass weighing exactly five pounds.

W. Stewart of Hebron, produced in 126 days 10588.4 pounds of milk and ^19.43 pounds butter. In May she produced 2439.2 pounds milk and 92.08 pounds butter. Meika Artena Franelchar, also owned by R. W. Stewart, produced is 18(5 days 81357.6 pounds milk and 5*2.27 pounds butter. Her May production was 2023.5 pounds milk and "83.47 pounds butter. Korndyke Jewel Duchess; owned by W. H. Gardner of Solon Mills, produced in 78 days 5360.9 pounds milk and 208.44 pounds butter. In May she produced 2309.6 pounds milk and 71.22 pounds butter. Gardner Farm Katrina, also owned by W. H. Gardner, produced in 67 days 3823.44 pounds milk and 158.15 pounds butter. Her production for May was 1828.3 pounds milk and 67.88 pounds butter. Only the best cows in the state are admitted to this plant and but sixty of them can be taken at a time. They are under the care of an expert feeder to test them out for their producing ability so as to determine whether to keep their offspring for foundation stock. These cows have produced in 457 day 51130.3 pounds milk and 1358.29 pounds butter. When we recall that the average cow of McHenry county produces only about 3500 pounds of milk and 150 pounds of butter in a year, you can readily see that these cows are worth a great many ordinary cows. These cows will be bred to King Colantha Aaggie Clothilde, the fine bull at the plant LOTUS IN BLOOM (TENS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDRALEB REPORTERS DURING WEB What People Are Doing In Thto YBlage and the Immediate --Other Short Paragrapho Only 3 and 3^4 cent* for sharpening your safety razor blades at Vycital's.

A number of now road signs have Beds Appear Larger and Men Beautiful Than Ever ... .- i'.v m The world's famous lotus hods in Grass lake are once more in full bloom and from now until the end of the lotus season the bods will be viewed and admired by thousands of sight seekers. Contrary to newspaper accounts which have made the rounds of the press during the past several months, the beds are far from devastated. In fact, they appear larger and more beautiful than ever before. From an old resident of that vicinity the writer was told on Monday afternoon bf this week that the beds this year, instead of being smaller, are considerably larger. Ab a matter of fact, our informant told us that he has lived to see the flowers grow from a small patch to a field now covering many acres. The original lotus beds have now spread to such an extent that instead of one there are now several distinct beds. The sight is surely one feast for the eyes and, judging from the number of people who visit these beds annually, one never seems to tire of this beautiful sight. In fact, there are hundreds of resorters who have gradually developed into real lgtus fans and never miss an opportunity of making the trip to this grand body of flowers. The Hunter boat line of this place has already started daily excursions to the beds and these trips will be continued until the close of the season, which, it is expected, will continue over a course of several weeks. Besides the Hunter line other passenger boat operators along Fox river and the chain of lakes are making daily trips to the "land of flowers." Daily Vacation Church School The past two weeks have exhibited the outstanding value of the work done in daily vacation church schools and this first experiment has been so successful that such a school will be a permanent feature of McHenry's summer months each year. The volunteer work of the two teachers has been of such high order that the gratitude our people owe them can hardly be expressed in their words of appreciation. The school will come to a close Friday and in the evening the children will give a program, exhibiting the type of work Which has been done in the daily sessions. All parents and friends are especially invited to attend. The program will begin at eight o'clock and will be held in the auditorium of the First Methodist church. Acquaintance with the methods and aims of this invaluable part of religious education work will be afforded by the evening's program. Builds New Side Walk For the convenience of the public and to save than a long walk, the Hunter boat line has caused to have constructed a stairway and sidewalk which extends from the north side of the east approach to the Fox river bridge to the Hunter pier. It was the original plan to construct a spacious landing just off the bridge's approach, but this was not carried out The new way of reaching the boat line's landing should be^ajwreciated tho^pathas occurred before ' - Wmrnrnm " been put up in McHenry dating the past week or so, thus making jfe easier to direct th© auto traveling public. The Paulist choristers, whose summer home is located at Pistakee Bay, are planning a big carnival to be held at that place on August 4, 5 and 6. John F. Miller, proprietor of the Rosedale greenhouses is visiting among relatives in Denmark, having left for Europe a couple o? ago. The Ladies' Aid society of the M.- E, church will meet with Mrs. Harvey Baron at her home on Main nit i ml on Thursday afternoon of next woek, July 27. The water on the east side of town was shut off for a short time Monday morning while ^repairs were h*iwg made on a hydrant near the garage on Riverside DriveT^ The carpenter work on the now home to be erected by H.

On account of shortage of coal two trains will be taken from the Chicago- Williams Bay schedule, effective tomorrow (FViday). They are the northbound due at McHenry at 2:28 and southbound which leaves this station at 5:55. The infant child of Mr. 'and Mrs. George Weber passed away at their home here early Wednesday nontaf of this week. The funeral took fllMO . from St Mary's church* tl>i« day) morning. The heartfelt sympathy of our people is extended the parents. E. A. Judd, the popular district : manager of the ninois Bell Telephone company, with headquarters at Woodstock, has been promoted to a similar position and on August 1 will be transferred to Waukegan. He will be succeeded at Woodstock by George Wilburn, at present officiating in the capacity of wire chief. Francis Bonslett, eldest son, of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bonslett of this village, was able to return to his% home here last Saturday following an for appendicitis which was at the Woodstock hospital thi ai oeefcs ago. His many friends will be pleased to learn that he is again on the road to completed recovery. The Fox dance pavilion still oontinues to draw large crowds. This Is especially true on Saturday nights. From those who have visited most of the pavilions thruout this summer resort region we learn that McHenry may rightfully lay claim to one of the finest resorts of the kind in this section. The music, too, is as good as one will find anywhere. Next Sunday's racing program, as arranged and held under the auspices of die Fox River A Lakes Improvement association, will take place at Pistakee Bay. On account of die various changes that are being made on the boats participating in these events, the races are becoming more and more exciting. Sunday's events should draw another big crowd. Hundreds of summer home owners and visitors were given a real thrill at Pistakee Bay last Sunday afternoon when a "dummy" was dropped into the lake from a plane which was making flights from that point Naturally most of the people along the shore thought that a man had fallen from the machine and for a few minutes there was some excitement A number of our baseball fans accompanied the home team to Wihnot, Wis., last Sunday afternoon, where they saw their favorites go down to a one-sided defeat McHenry also sent fair sized delegation to the State Limj park, where they saw die State Liners trimmed by die classy Lake Villa team. Davidson, who pitched a few games for the McHenry team earlier in the season, was on the firing line for the visiting team and pitched his usual masterly game. As a safety measure two signs, prohibiting fishing from the structure, were placed on either end of the Fox river bridge here last Saturday. The signs were gone the following morning andy while an endeavor has been made by those interested to ascertain who took them down, no .«ftif has been established.
