Otic room in the municipal building is being rebuilt for the purpose.;. A beautiful floral piece was stolen from a grave in the Crystal Lake eetaetery last week within two hours after same had been placed thereon by loving hands. The plant of the Express Body corporation at Crystal Lake has just completed a big job of pergolas for the French Lick Springs hotel, located *t French Lick Springs, Ind. Seven carloads of cement for the construction of hard roads in Illinois are now available daily. Two-thirds of this amount is being allotted to the first district. This cement is being made at Buffington, Ind. «. One hundred and twenty rural school teachers congregated at Woodstock one day recently to receive their year's supplies and instructions from the county superintendent. There are 110 rural schools in McHenry county. Starting this week the barber shops at Crystal Lake will close every evening excepting Mondays and Saturdays, at eight o'clock. The three meat markets in that city will also close all day Sunday, starting with Sept. 10. M. N. Wein & Son, owners of a department store at Woodstock, have purchased the building in which they are located. The property was formerly owned by Mrs. Mary R. Joslyn and her two sons, David R. and Marcellus L. While excavating for a basement at . his home near Ontarioville, near Elgin, Henry Bartel unearthed a string of ninety-seven diamond rings, valued at $12,000. It is believed that the prize was buried by robbers many years ago. Miss Mabel rfobbs, county health nurse, started out this week to examine pupils attending the rural schools of the county. It is her intention to cover all of the rural schools very thoroly before the advent of cold weather. Miss Hettie Randall will teach in Chicago the coming year, having been engaged for one of the north side schools of that city. During the past two years she has been one of the instructors in the high school at Kankakee. Her home is at Hebron. The 6peed cop at Crystal Lake still continues to hall 'em in. The Crystal Lake Herald of last week published quite a list of those who had been hauled before the judge during the week. A number of Crystal Lake residents were included in the list. Henry Weber, who has been confined in the county jail at Woodstock for some time past on suspicion in connection with a robbery at the Dr. Baccus office in that city, has been released on his own recognizance, signing a $500 bond to appear before the grand jury in the September term of circuit court. Tom Graham of Ingleside won the individual prize at'a trap shoot held in connection with the Waukegan Elks' picnic held at Round Lake last Thursday. Mr. Graham scored fortyeight out of a possible fifty. In the practice shoot he maintained a same record, tying with C. Mitchell and Jay Graham. Contractor Fred C. Nelson was able to rOsume work on the Rand road near Lake Zurick last Friday after a shut down occasioned thru- the shortage of gravel. Twenty-eight carloads of gravel arrived on Wednesday of last week and another train load came in the following day. The contractor has had plenty of cement right along. Grover Chittenden, for many years employed at the McHenry county court house, has purchased the controlling interest* of the McHenry County Abstract company and will take over the business on October 1. Frank S. Keenan has efficiently handled the business ever since the death of Emil Arnold, who was head of the company for many years. For the second time the voters of Burlington," Wis., have voted against the erection of a new high school building in that city. The fear of an excessive tax burden is said to have been the cause for the defeat of the proposition. Like many other cities and villages Burlington's present high school building is inadequate and not able tolTouse the growing nomber of popils. ^ The American Legion post at Grayslake, which some time ago purchased one of the large buildings at the Great Lakes Naval Training station, is now negotiating for a lot upon which to re-erect their hall. The village offefed the post a free site for the proposed building, but this has not been accepted on account of the fact OBJECTORS GIVEN MORE TIME Sewerage Opponents Given Until Sept. 15 to File Objections ^ The sewerage hearing was oontinued until Sept 15 in the McHenry county court on Tuesday morning of this week, at which time there were gathered in Woodstock a number of local people who were interested in the proposed system of sewers for the village of McHenry. Among those from here who the trip to the county seat were men wher are utterly opposed to the installation of a sewerage system and others who are fighting the. location of the proposed purification plant Attorneys,for the objectors were on hand. , According to the customary action of the court, it is only reasonable to expect the court to set aside another date for the hearing of the legal complaints. This date, according to those better posted on court matters, will likely be set for some time the latter part of the month. In fact it will probably be the f<Jre part of October before it has been definitely decided whether or not McHenry will be given her very much needed sewerage disposal plant. " When told of Tuesday's action «by the McHenry county court one of the local boosters for the improvement was heard to remark that he was willing to bet that McHenry wouldn't get the system. He appeared thoroly disgusted as are quite a number of others who have been working so hard during the past few years to bring about such an improvement for oar village. ^ It is to be hoped that the courtaction will be favorable and that actual work on said improvement will be started this fall. McHenry sewer age boosters want the improvement and will never be satisfied until their wishes have been granted them. As near as we are able to ascertain, the greatest opposition is to the location of the disposal and purification plant, which, according to the plans, is to be located in the rear of the Beckwith property at the foot of Waukegan street While resorters along the river have been heard to express thetnselv'es as against the location of the plant at that point they are powerless to act until they are able to prove that the pldht is a nuisance. This proof cannot possibly be obtained until after the installation of the system.

The beginners' and primary departments are well organized and plans will be laid for enlarged activity in the older departments. All that are interested are urged to attend next Sunday morning at ten o'clock. The Epworth league is also doing splendid work. The dramatization of the mission story last Sunday evening was thoroly enjoyed by all. The meeting takes place at 7:30 Sunder evenings. Mr. R. H. Bobb, science teacher in our high school and president of the league, will be the leader for this week. The regular church service will be held a eleven o'clock, following the Sunday school. The worship service is designed to be helpful to all. The sermon topic will be "Creative Forces In Religion" and will deal largely with a consideration of mystical experience. • 1 1 Auto Wheel Smashed .Here Saturday Chas. W. Gibbs, local manager of the Farmers' Co-operative association, had the right hind wheel of his Ford roadster smashed when his car was struck by a passing Essex on Green street last Saturday afternoon. Chas. had just nosed his machine in the alleyway between the Illinois Bell telephone exchange building and the bakery and was in the act of backing out when the big car hit him with sufficient force as to tear off the wheel. While only a few of them were broken, every spoke was torn away from the hub. The wrecking car from the Star garage was soon on hand and within twenty minutes from the time the accident took place Mr. Gibbs was on his way. Luckily no one was injured. ^ Record Crowd at Fox Pavilion The Fox dancing pavilion, which has been entertaining large crowds during the entire season, broke all previous records last Saturday night when 925 door admissions were sold. In spite of the vast crowd in attendance, there was plenty of room for all and everyone apparently enjoyed a most pleasant time. The popularity of the Fox has extended not only thruout entire McHenry county, but into the neighboring counties as well. In fact it isn't an uncommon sight to see visitors down from lower Wisconsin. Cordial treatment, an exceptionally fine floor and, last but not least, the best of music are the factors which have contributed to the success of the venture. Porta**** S. E. Bassett Wfc* Cup In Handicap Event--Large Number Enter Tournament The first golf tournament under the direction of the McHenry Country club took place on their grounds here last Sunday and Monday and brought Out scores of contestants for the valuable prizes offered. For the first attempt the tournament proved a hugo success and caused no small amount of enthusiasm among the many who took part in same. Thirty-six holes were played, eighteen on each of the two days. Postmaster E. E. Bassett in the handicap event was awarded the cup donated by H. H. King, president of the club. The winner's net score for the thirtysix holes was 162. Rev. W. B. Pipp, one of the Paulist fathers, who has spent considerable of his time at the Paulist summer home at Pistakee Bay, was a close second with a low net score of 184. The cup presented to Mr. Bassett is now on display in the show window at the clothing store of Ray McGee, where it is being admired by passersby. Paul Burnett of Chicago won the gold medal donated by Owen, Stenger & Allen. His low net score for .the thirty-six holes being 165. He made the first round in 42, the second in 39, the third in 40 and the last in 44. Rev. W. B. Pipp of the Paulist ehoristers, Pistakee Bay, and Victor Velacika of Chicago, and whose summer home is located at Fox Lake, are tied for low score honors of the club, their mark being thirty-eight. The membership "of the club is now closed, the 150 mark having been reached some time ago. However, there is such a demand for membership that the club is now seriously, considering the idea of opening another course of nine holes, which would give them a double or eighteen hole course. That this will be done some time is almost assured, but whether it will come in another year remains to be seen. Th*.club 1m& already set about to further improve their grounds and greens. This work will be continued unfil the weather conditions prohibit The golf grounds have not only proven a distinct credit to the men who are responsible for same, but also a great boom ,$o the village itself It has been theXjti&ans of bringing to McHenry scores of people who would have otherwise gone elsewhere for their summer's pleasures. A better advertisement the community has never had. NEW RIVER ORGANIZATION Adopt By-Laws and Pass RcwuluUo-- at Sunday's Meeting The members of the newly organized South Fox River Improvement association held another meeting last Sunday morning, at which time the adoption of by-laws and the passing of a resolution against the pollution of Fox river took place. A committee of three, headed by Jos. C. Holly, was also appointed to meet with the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association to see just what co-operation could be expected from that body in the cleaning ^»p of the fiver south of the bridge to the dam. The water's surface has been anjt thing but inviting for swimming late and resorters along this stretch of the Fox and especially the members of the new organization are particularly anxious to have the water cleared of its undesirable weeds and other forms of pollution. Considerable consternation was expressed by one or two of the gentlemen present at the meeting when one of the spokesmen ventured to say that considerable sewerage is being emptied into the stream in the vicinity of McHenry. As the result of this declaration as well as the possiblity of a sewage disposal plant, near the west shore, a resolution condemning such pollution of the stream was read and passed. So much time was spent in passing on the by-laws and the resolution that it was nearly dinner time before the electric light matter was taken up and as a natural consequence nothing definite was accomplished in this direction. Two bids for the building of the proposed line, covering a distance of one and three-quarter miles, were received, the lowest of the two being $4,250.. It seemed to be the opinion of some who appeared better posted on the matter that the line could and should be constructed at a figure con- { NO. 13 FESTIVAL CLEARS $3,500 600 PARTOOK OF CHICKEN DINNER SUNDAY Gross Receipts Total Nearly $5,56fr-- Lee Kercher Win* Buick Touring Car The two days' festival, as sponsored by the parishioners of St Patrick's church in this village last Sunday and Monday, proved a big financial as well as social success. The gross receipts, according to very reliable information, amounted to approximately $5,500, of which there- will remain a net of something like $3,500 after all bills have been paid. This is considerably better than last year. However, weather conditions were against them a year ago. The big festival opened on Sunday goon with the serving of a delicious chicken dinner by the ladies of the parish at the K. of C. hall. Over 600 people took advantage of the fine feed and "many ' were the comments showered upon those who were responsible for this elegant repast. The serving began shortly after eleven o'clock and continued until nearly two o'clock that afternoon. No sooner was the dinner over when the crowd began to assemble in the village park, gayety prevailing until about midnight The following day was a repetition of that of Sunday, only that the crowd seemed larger. Everyone appeared in a most jovial mood and the way that the various stands and amusements did business it seemed as if everyone had come with a firm determination to do what they could in making the affair a big success. The McHenry Military band furnshed splendid music during both afternoons and evenings, this feature of the festival being especially pleasing to the big crowd in attendance. The giving away of a Buick touring car marked the closing of the festival about midnight on Monday, DISCUSS FIRE DEPARTMENT Village Board TOks Over the Matter at Tuesday's Meeting siderably ^ less than the low bid thus I y,ere being a big crowd on hand when Hunter Boat Line Secular trips to the lotus beds every day at 9:00 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. Special boats at any hour. For further information call MalUmjr 7 «r 77-J. v Boat Catches Fire The Catherine H. II, the speed boat owned by A. V. Hannifin of Chicago, and whose summer home is located on the west shore of Fox river, a short distance north of McHenry, caught fire shortly after the finish of the last race at Fox Lake last Sunday afternoon and it was only thru the frantic efforts of" her crew that she was saved from great damage if not total destruction. After the blaze had been extinguished the craft added further to her troubles when she struck a floating water-soaked submerged log and tore quite a hole in the bottom of the boat The crew immediately started the water pumps and consid ered themselves very lucky to keep the boat from sinking in the deep waters of the lake. Since the incident the damage has been repaired and the craft, is again gliding the waters of this summer resort district Legion Meeting Friday Night The members of the McHenry post, American Legion, will hold a very important meeting at their hall here tomorrow (Friday) evening. The purpose of the meeting is to get organized for a monster bonus boosting meeting to be held in McHenry some time this month. Posts everywhere are getting back of the bonus question and the dough boys of the McHenry post wish to give the matter their united co-operation. Veterans of the late world war are entitled to a bonus *nri should have had it long before now. Every member of the post is urgently requested to be at the ing Friday night far submitted and with this as their aim the association is now endeavor ing to obtain figures from several other contractor?. The association voted to contribute $50 towards a fund which is to be used for engaging legal talent to fight the further pollution of the river Meetings of the association will be continued thruout the Tall and winter months in the hope that the desired improvements may be hafeby the beginning of another sammar resort season. * ' t Dredging Nearing Completion The Julius Keg dredging outfit which during the past few weeks has been cleaning up the river front at the Owen, Stenger & Allen subdivision on the west shore of Fox river, south of this village, has been making very satisfactory progress, having thus far cleaned up more than 500 feet of river frontage. It is expected that the entire 700 feet of frontage will be cleaned up within the course of another week, when the McHenry Artificial Stonfc & Construction Co. will install electric light posts every fifty feet along the entire sea wall. The owners of this tract,as well as the Stenger & Allen subdivision purchased from Jacob Jus ten have contracted with Mr. Keg for the dredging of their entire frontage south of the present sea wall. Numerous lots have been sold in these subdivisions during the present season and considerable building is sure to follow. M. A. Thelen has been awarded the contract for leveling off the frontage and now has his men employed there. Conference at Universalist Church Friday of this week Miss Lucy from the nidpality. Undergoes Operation ' Miss Elizabeth K. Miller, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Miller of this village, underwent quite a serious operation at the Post Graduate hospital in Chicago last Friday morning. The operation, we learn, has proven entirely successful and recent word from her bedside is to the effect that the patient will be able to return to her home here shortly. ;^ Cemetery AM Sodsty ^ The Ladies' Cemetery Aid society will meet with Mrs. T.

' The pastor as well as parishioners of St Patrick's church are very grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of the festival. Especially do they wish to thank the business men and others who contributed articles, those who worked so faithfully before, after an* during the festival and also for the very liberal, patronage of the public in general. The occasion goes down in the history of the parish as the most successful of the kind ever attempted. NO ACTION ON MOTOR BUS Hoard Wants More Time to Study the Proposition Markley of Chicago wfll be in Mc- Hefiry for a conference with the members of the UniversaliBt church on Sunday school work. Miss Markley will meet the children and young people at the church at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon. Stories and games will make up the program. In. the evening at 7:30 there will be a meeting for the church members, at which Miss Markley and Mr. Grimes will peak along the lines of Sunday school work and religious education in general. Everyone is welcome to these meetings. Travel to Wilmot Sunday Manager Meyers will take his outfit to Wilmot Wis., next Sunday afternoon, where the boys will do their level best to hang a defeat upon the home crew. The Wilmot club has already registered two wins over the McHenry aggregation this season and the Badger state team, no doubt will be out there to make it three straight In view of their recent winnings, the local team will be followed to Wilmot by a large delegation of fans, who will be pulling for their favorites to win. Legion Will Hold Carnival The McHenry" post ' American Legion, which had planned a midsummer carnival some months ago, has given up the idea, but will hold another big indoor festival at its hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov, 9, 10 and 11. Arrangements for the^hig event will be istarted at onee. Asking for more time in which to study the proposition, the village board failed to take action on the proposition of granting the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad company a permit to operate a motor bus line into this village from Waukegan. While most of the members of the board felt that such a line into the village would be °& good tiling, some of the members asked for a little more time in order <to enable them to investigate the proposition more thoroly. As explained by t*e of the representatives of the North Shore railroad, the company proposes to establish a motor omnibus service between Waukegan and this village, with stops at Grayslake, Round Lake and Volo. The company is now operating such a line between Kenosha and Lake Geneva, Wis., and from reports the line is doing very well. Since tbe proposition as made by the railroad company has been made public, considerable discussion on the matter has been heard on our streets and we have yet to hear of anyone who is really opposed to such a service. In fact most of the people of McHenry and community would welcome the inauguration of such a system between the points mentioned. It is very likely that the proposition will be favorably, acted upon by our village board at their next meeting. ^ The question of an organized and fully equipped fire department for the village came up for a lengthy discussion at Tuesday night's meeting of the village board and, while no definite conclusion was reached, the officials are hopeful that some real good will come out of the meeting. According to estimates obtained by the various members of the board, a fully equipped fire department, such as would meet the requirement here, would cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. Thp proposed equipment wotfid give the municipality a truck equipped with two chemical engines, hose, ladders and the other necessary apparatus as well as firemen's coats, hats, boots; etc. ' How to raise the money for such a department also brought forth lengthy discussion. Among the suggestions offered were, the floating of a special bond issue, raising the money thru popular subscription, the holding of a carnival or some other event The bond issue appeared to appeal to most of the members, but before such action could or would be taken it would bei ome necessary to hold a special election, asking the voters of the village to decide as to whether or not the majority approved of such a step. It seems to us that McHenry thus far has been mighty fortunate in not having experienced any real fire conflagration in recent years. Every town, no matter how small, should have some sort of a fire fighting department and McHenry canont delay this very important matter any longer. Something should be done without further delay. The board should come to a decision to give us a department and equipment equal to other enterprising towns. We believe that the question of voting a special bond issue would meet with the approval of most of our citizens and we further believe that every property owner in the village is desirous of seeing such a department and equipment instituted in McHenry at the earliest possible moment If it's to be a bond issue, let's get busy with it at once. The maintenance of such an equipment, according to our understanding, would be thru a revenue collected from the various insurance companies doing business within the corporate limits of our village. While this revenue may not cover the entire expense of maintenance, it will .surely go a long way to accomplish this end. Every citizen having the interest of , the village and his or her property at heart should make it their business to express their views to board munbers at their first opportunity. Now let's talk this matter up and show the Mc Henry officials that we are really sincere and are willing to co-operate in any movement which eventually will fulfill a long felt need. > ITEMS OF LOCAL ARBEST AS PICKED UP BY PLADiDBAUOt REPORTERS DURING WEEK New Bakery Opens Next Saturday John J. Saaer of Chicago, who some weeks ago rented the Mrs. Emma K. Freund building on Main street, will open therein next Saturday, Sept 9, a Perfection System bakery. The Perfection System has bakeries established in' a number of nearby towns and, according to reports, all are doing a very nice business. The interior of the store building has been thoroly renovated, newly painted and equipped with the very latest in the way of machinery, etc. The exterior of the bpilding has also been treated to a coat of white paint According to Mr. Sauer he will give McHenry a bakery second to none in this section of the state. Notice to Dtog Owners All dogs that are owned in the village of McHenry without a 1922 dog license on will be shot ten days after this notfoe is published. By Order of Villag* Board. Prize Winners at Fox Lake Prizes given away in connection with the Labor day celebration, as sponsored by the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association and held at the Mineola hotel, were won by the following named gentlemen: Seventeen foot motor boat donated by the Hunter Boat company of this village, went to Dan A. Orth, 5639 Sheridan Road, Chicago; the Gable End wardrobe trunk, donated by Chas. T. Wilt company, was won by Ed. Tancel of the Yacht Club Bohemia; the auto wind shield cleaner, donated by the Myo-Skinner Mfg. company, was carried away by F. J. Holzapfel, while the blind prize, donated by Walter Marggraf, went to E. A. Police, 1727 Sedwick street, Chicago. Chicago Bankers May Come A message comes to the officials of the McHenry Country club that the American Institute of Banking wishes to hold its annual golf tournament at the McHenry course on Sunday, Oct 1. While nothing definite has been decided, it is quite likely that the board of directors of the local club will grant the bankers their wish. The club asks the exclusive use of the grounds from 10:00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m., and this the members of the club will very likely agree to. In case a decision is reached to allow the Chicagoans the use of the grounds it will mean the bringing to McHenry on that day not less than 150 bankers and their families. Entertained at Summer Heme Miss Vera Draheim had as her guests at her summer homo on Fox river for the last week in vacation Misses Evelyn Burghardt, Ethel Schumacher and Dorothea Pearson of Chicago. The girls arrived Saturday, Aug. 26, and stayed until Labor day. They spent most of their time at swimming and rowing. The evenings were passed with "weenie" and marshmallow roasts and singing camp-fire and camp songs on the beautiful moonlit river. The girls reported having had a very enjoyable time and were very sorry to leave thi beautiful country and rivet. Most of the young people who will attend school elsewhere the coming year have either left or are preparing to return to their school work.

Mrs. Sohm will be assisted by Ma A. a Barrett ' The season's last open-air band" concert took place at Borden's park last Friday evening. A very excellent program was rendered and, needless to say, much enjoyed by those in attendance. According to the announcement as made from the pulpit of St Mary's Catholic church last Sunday morning, the annual bazaar will take place a£i the American Legion hall from No* 26 to 80, dosing on Thanksgiving^ day, The McHenry Ice "cream factory, on account of the great demand for its product was forced to operate daring the entire night Sunday. It was the biggest business experienced by the proprietor, C. Unti, since locating in McHenry. According to a local weather prognosticator, we are to experience a cold, wintery fall, a medium winter, then a fine spring followed by a very stormy summer. Just clip this article and see for yourself how near this prediction comes to being true. Now that all of the employes of the Borden bottling plant here have taken their vacations, the pay roll is being trimmed down a bit Among those who have received notification of a lay-off are Wm. Parks, Henry Heimer, Jr., and George Steilen. Several hundred people played golf on the McHenry Country club course over the week end. Besides the members, 155 visitors registered at the club on Sunday and Monday. We dare say that there isnt another course outside of the larger cities that can boast of such an attendance. Mr. and Mrs. E. Frintner and son, who have been spending the summer in the flat over the C. Unti ice cream parlor, returned to their home in Chicago on Monday afternoon. We understand that they have sub-ratted the flat for the winter months to A. G. Barbian, who will move his family there about Nov. 1. The "Fore," a hydroplane owned by Wm. D. Foreman, a resorter aft Pistakee Bay, has been giving real' dents along the river a real treat by its presence on that stream on various occasions during the past week or more. The craft is one of the speediest in the world and is capable of making seventy-two ^niles an hour. The McHenry public and community high schools opened up for the season last Monday morning. The intense heat however, has handicapped the teachcrs as well as students. The very best of work cannot be expected with such heat St Mary's parochial school opened on Tuesday morning. Increased attendance is reported at all schools. 1 McHenry entertained her usual large Labor day crowd. The visitors began arriving on Friday night and from that time until Monday morning there was a steady influx of visitors and tourists. While a large per cent of the tourists went thru without stopping, this community entertained all for which we had room. One thousand or more of the visitors came in via rail.
