In recognition of her splendid work, Miss ^une Work of Barrington, a 1921 graduate of the Barrington high school, has been awarded a Chicago University scholarship. Miss June was one of twenty selected from a class o/'600. At a meeting of til* Lake eoonty fair officials held at the home of the president, W. I.

They have entered the Northwestern University at Evanston. The opera house block at Antioch was sold last week to L. B. Grice and others of that village. While the new owner has not as yet announced his future plans for the building, he has informed friends that same may be used as a garage and filling station. Ed. Fichter of Wabconda pleaded guilty of having intoxicating liquor in his possession when he appeared before Justice Harvey Coulson at Waukegan on Friday morning of last week. He paid a fine of $200 and costs. Fichter has been operating a soft drink parlor at Wauconda of late. Miss Irma Sudaka of Puis, France, became the wife of Dr. George W.

Pasquale Colleta, proprietor of a pool room in Chicago, was arrested at Algonquin on Wednesday of last week. He was wanted in Chicago on a charge of murder, being accused of the: murder of James Cabrese and son, Ralph., both of Chicago. The shooting is said to have followed a card game on August 20. Summer resort residents from the Channel Lake and Lake Marie section banded together last week and organfzed a golf club. The club has secured the Fred Willet farm, located between the two bodies of water, and work has already started on the links, which the club members hope to have ready for playing by next summer. Included in the club's plans is the erection of a club house and the widening of the channel between Lake Marie and Channel Lake. It now looks as if the entire stretch of. road between the present Rand roqd and Volo should "be completed this fall. The road between Volo and Wauconda was completed last Thursday and, according to our information, will be opened within thirty days. The road equipment from this stretch has been moved to a point between Wapconda and Lake Zurich, where work is progressing very favorably. Another gang working from the Rand road towards Lake Zurich is also making satisfactory progress. Orville D. Davis, director of the board of information of the state inforcTfi^ nt bursa", sppcsrm^ in an address at the annual convention of the Lake county W. C. T. \J., at Waukegan last Thursday evening, told his audience that investigators from the state forces would be'sent to that city to stop violations of the prohibition law by druggists as well as bootleggers of all kinds. The speaker further declared that the licenses of drug store operators would be revolted there the same as has been done te hundreds of other cities in the state where druggists have keen found guilty of breaking the pro- Oliver "Smoke" Richardson, affed twenty, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Richardson, prominent residents of Jlound Lake, met a most tragic death while hunting at Lake Defiance, about four miles east of this village, shortly after the noon hour on Monday of of this week. The lad, in company with two companions, had gone to the home of his uncle, Frank Pfannenstill, whose farm is located .a short distance from the lake, for the* purpose of doing some hunting. It had been planned that the victim of the fatal accident should row around the lake while the other two companions remained on shore. On reaching the shore of the lake Richardson prej-pred the boat while the two other lads started to walk east. The boys hadnt traveled but a short distance before they heard the report 6f young Richardson's gun. They immediately turned back to ascertain what their companion had shot at and to their horror heard Richardson shout, "Go call my uncle, I'm shot." Almost frightened to death both" of the young men started across the field, leaving the victim to himself. The shot was also heard by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Kelter, who have a summer home on the same side of the lake, but some forty rods further east; Seeing the two lads running across the field in the direction of the Pfannenstill home they 'first thought that there had been some foul play. They also saw young Richardson stagger up the field and then fall to the ground. Apparently the young man was dead before they reached him. In response to a telephone call Dr. A. Mueller of this village rushed out to the scene, but arrived too late to save the ^oung man's life. A coroner's jury, composed of Dr. A. Mueller, foreman; Jack Walsh, P. L. Lodtc, Jacob Justen, George Justen and Bill Vodd, returned a verdict of accidental death by shot gun wound. The inquest was conducted by Deputy Coroner Dr. C. H. Fegers of this village. While no one witnessed the-terrible accident, the supposition is that young Richarplson, with the loaded shot gun in his right hand, was in the act of entering the boat and was just about to shove out when the trigger of the gun came in contact with the seat in the boat and in this manner was partially opened and then discharged. The upper part of his right arm was literally lorn, away, while a large hole Was also torn into his right chest. The body was removed to his home at Round Lake, from whence the funeral took place on Wednesday. Home From State Legion Convention John L. May, commander of the McHenry post,v American Legion, returned home from Rock Island on Wednesday afternoon after attending the state'Convention of the American Legion. Mr. May represented the McHenry post and made the trip to the down state city via automobile in company with a delegation of McHenry county dough boys, who left Woodstock Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. M. Lonergan, former pastor of the Catholic church at Cary, and who during the pastorate of Rev. Edward Berthold made frequent visits to St. Mary's Catholic church here and therefore is well and favorably known to many of our realtors, was elected state chaplain at the convention. Atty. J. J. McCauley of Harvard was elected as the McHenry county delegate to the national convention, while John L. May of this village was named as his alternate. The national convention will convene at New Orleans from Oct 16 to 19. Mr. May returned frbm the conventwki just full of enthusiasm and will endeavor to engender just a bit more "pep" into the local post. Every Legion post in the state will set out at once to talk up the state bonus question, which will come up for a vote of the people at the coming November election. The former service men are entitled to the bonus and every 100 per cent American will vote in favor of same. Drive Can From Galeshurg Ben Miller, Leo Nehring and Clarence I.

Underwent Operation Tuesday Mrs. Wm. J. Welch was taken to St. Anthony's hospital, Chicago, op Sunday, where on Tuesday morning she underwent quite. a serious operation. Reports from the hospital are to the effect that the patient withstood the operation very nicely and that she is now making a satisfactory recovery, which her many friends here Installation of System of Sewers Will Bring Quarter of Million Dollar Improvement to McHenry In case we are given that very much desired sewerage system, McHenry stands in line for one of the biggest booms that she has ever experienced. v This is the good news which reaches The Plaindealer tbis week and comes from no other source than Ben Stilling & Son, real estate dealers; who have already started work on a project which will give McHenry an entire new business block if the deal goes thru. • *> According to the senior memtfer of the above named firm, he was approached by Chicago interests some short time ago with the proposition of obtaining for them /in option on street frontage covering an entire block and situated in the east end of town. Mr. Stilling, with the junior member of the firm, almost immediately set out to work on the project and this week informs us that he has been successful in obtaining the option. The gentlemen involved in the deal apparently- had labored under the impression that McHenry already had a system of-sewerage as they expressed great surprise as well as disappointment when it was learned that such was not the ease. However, when informed that a system of sewers have been planned for the village and that the technicalities appertaining to same are now in court with the prospects that favorable action will be taken the financiers displayed at inclination to proceed with their contemplated project. • While the men back of the project appeared more or less reticent about their plans, it has been given to us by the local real estate men that i^ the deal goes thru it will mean th£ expenditure on permanent improvements in this village of a quarter of a million dollars. In fact, it will mark the starting poiqt of a bigger and better town. If sewerage can accomplish this and even more we cannot see why any man owning property here should object to the improvement and instead of obstructing such a system everyone should put their shoulder to the wheel and help push it along. The time is here when McHenry wants to .append, so why^hindfT Rally Day The First Methodist church will observe next Sunday, October 1, as Rally day for the Sunday school and church. Cards of invitation have been mailed, but all are welcome whether they receive a card or not. The Sunday school will assemble in its various classes at 10:00 o'clock. The Rally day service will begin at 10:30. This is one half hour earlier than the usual beginning of the church service and notice should be taken of the earlier hour. There will be a program given by the various departments of the school, a special number by the young people's mixed quartet, a solo by Mr. Vasey and other numbers of interest The subject of the sermon talk will be "Finding Truth." We are expecting the present encouraging church attendance to burst all bounds on this Rally day Sunday. The young people's meeting last Sunday evening had the largest attendance ever. Miss Gladys Van Natta is leader for this Sunday and we are already promising her a large audience. Be there. The hour is 6:30. f .

Hayes, editor. The new publication is designed to coVer all of the very latest poultry news of the great northwest and at the same time ke?p its readers posted on all matters appertaining to this industry. Mr. Hayes, who at one time made his home in this village, has come to be recognized as one of the best posted poultry men in the northwest and, judging from the initial number of the Northwestern, Ed., is going to give the poultry fanciers of that section a most interesting publication. Congratulations, Brother Hayes. Mystic Workers Elect i f The Mystic Workers of this village met and elected officers for the ensuing year at Woodman hall on Wednesday evening of last week.

Freund, supervisor'for the town of McHenry, who last week started out to secure the right-of-way for the proposed cement road t^tween the Mrs. Henry Kepnebeck farm east of.this village and the Lake county line, report* very good dneceBs thus far. In faot, all except three of the property owners along the stretch have either signed off or agreed to do so. Assisting the McHenry supervisor in the work are County Surveyor Tryon of Woodstock, John Boyle, McHenry township highway commissioner, and John R. Knox of this village. It is the hope of the McHenry supervisor to have every foot of the right-of-way between the two joints signed off within a short time, so that he may be able to get his documents to the state highway department and thus give them an opportunity, tq. get busy on the road. The co-operation extended bf the farmers residing along the proposed cement highway was gratifying indeed. In fact, it appears as if these men are just as anxious for the road as are the thousands of automobile tourists who travel them annually. West of McHenry, beginning at Sherman's hill and extending to Thompson's ' corners in Greenwood township, practically everybody has signed up and is anxiously awaiting the letting of the contract for this particular stretch. Since the rural property owners have displayed such an eagerness for the road, why should not the residents of the village of McHenry get together and decide where they want the highway to pass thru our municipality? The time for fighting over the proposed route is past Now let's, not waste any more time wrangling, but get together and decide where the road should go. Unless we do this it is certain that it will be & long time before the road is built thru our village. MILK PRICE UNDECIDED ALL SET FORTOUmiffirr CIUCAG& BANKER^ HBftB KBXT V' '• - SUNDAY Desists and Producers Fait to GSme to Agreement Delegates representing the various locals of the Milk Producers* association will meet in Chicago Saturday to determine what is to be done regarding the present milk situation. Two meetings between delegates of the various locals and the dealers have taken place since last week, but as yet no agreement has been reached. The first of these two meetings was held in Chicago on Friday of last week, at which time the dealers offered $1.90 for October milk, $1.80 for November and $1.80 for December. The McHenry local was represented at the meeting by Thos. A. Bolger, John Anderson aqd Peter A. Freund. The offer of the dealers was refused. TTie second meeting took place in Chicago on Wednesday of this week, when the dealers raised their offer by ten cents, allowing the producers $2.00 for October and $1.90 for November and December. This offer, too, was turned down by the delegates. Being unable to arrive at a satisfactory agreement the meeting closed about six o'clock last evening. Units of the Milk Producers' association all over the district are calling meetings for tomorrow (Friday) night for the purpose of deciding if possible just what stand is to be taken in the future. The McHenry meeting will take place at Woodman hall at 8:00 o'clock, at which time it is expected that every milk producer in this vicinity will be present * According to our information the producers are now holding out for an average price of $2.25 for the three coming months and unless an agreement is reached between the producers and buyers there is a possibility of another milk strike, w Yesterday's meeting in Chicago was attended by Thof. A. Boil* and John Anderson. v Celebrated Birthday A. M. Schiller celebrated his birthday anniversary last Sunday St his beautiful home on McCollum's lake.

Chicago Chapter, American Institute of Banking, Will Play Tournament Here Next Sunday Everything is in readiness for the annual golf tournament to be staged the local links by the Chicago chapter, American Institute of Banking, next Sunday, Oct 1. Albert Purvey, the efficient caretaker of the grounds, and his able assistant, Andrew Eddy, have been doing some exceptionally good work on the course and especially the green the past week or more and by Sunday the links shoulti be in the finest condition in which they have been seen since the opening. Workmen, engaged in the work of erecting the arch which is to mark the entrance to the grounds on John street are also exerting themselves and' should have this monument completed by Sunday. The presenoe on the course during the past week or more of a number of the men .who are expecting to compete in the tournament evidences the interest that is being taken in the coming event and with favorable weather conditions McHenry should witness a real delegation of golf en* thusiasts on that day. Whjle arrangements have been made with the C. A N. W. railroad, which provides for additional coaches on the regular passenger trains next Sunday to accommodate the bankers, it is expected that quite a number will make the trip to this village via auto. Arrangements have also been completed whereby the members of Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A., will serve coffee and sandwiches to, the visitors on the grounds. The plan, according to late reports from Chicago, are to start the tournament immediately after the visitors' arrival on the grounds and continue same right straight thru, stopping only for a sandwich and cup of coffee. Dinner will be partaken of at one of the local < hotels afte^ the close of the play. Letters are being mailed out to members of the McHenry club asking for the «s» of their cars to carry the bankers 'from the station to the grounds and thence to the hotel and back to the train. This courtesy, we are told, will be freely extended. In fact the members of the local club are highly pleased with the opportu nity of entertaining the distinguished, visitors and will do everything within reason to make their visit, .here an enjoyable bne. The letter also contains a request for the members that they remain off the course while the toornsment is in session. Evanston' Milk Men Visit McHenry Forty-eight drivers and salesmen from the Evanston branch of the Borden milk company visited McHenry on Tuesday of this week. The delegation traveled in automobiles and arrived in this village about ten o'clock in the morning. They drove direct to the company's bottling plant where they watched the milk travel from the dairymen's wagon and thence thru the various stages thru the plant The sight was entirely new to most of the men, who freely admitted that the visit had afforded them a real treat At the noon hour Supt. J. E. Pufahl escorted the delegation to Justen's hotel, where a pre-arranged dinner was awaiting them. "After'dinner the delegation was taken to the dairy farm of James Frisby south of this village,, where they looked over the barns and cattle. They left for Evanston about four o'clock that afternoon, feeling that the trip to McHenry had been a most profitable one. Leave For Eanpe Mr. end Mrs. Wm. Pries left McHenry last Sunday noon for Europe, expecting to be away for two months or more. Their plans were to stop at Buffalo on their way to New York city, where they took in the sights of Niagara Falls and other places of interest They left New York City for Breman, Germany, on the steamer "Seydletss" on Wednesday noon. The mission to Germany is for the settlement of an estate. However, it is only natural to expect the McHenry people to combine business with pleasure while abroad and to visit some of the larger cities while there.

' SEWERAGE CASE DISMISSED Attorneys Already Prepsring Ordinance for New Case Altho the McHenry sewera£e-3rase was dismissed in the McHenry county court at Woodstock on Tuesday of this Week, the board of local improvements of this village has not given uj hope of giving McHenry this very much desired improvement and accordingly instructed their attorney to get busy at once and prepare a new ordinance so that the case may again be brought up at the earliest possible moment According to the local board and the sewerage supporters, McHenry must and will have her sewerage system and these gentlemen do not propose to give up until the thing is put over. . Atty. A. H. Pouse, who, with Atty. A. J. Mullen of Woodstock, represents the board of local improvements, informs us that work on the new ordinance is to start at once in the hope of having same in shape for action by the village board within the course of the next two weeks. The two attorneys representing the local improvement body wil! call in an expert in this particular line this time and hope in this manner to construct a document that will hold water. That the fight will be carried to the supreme court notf seems evident As stated in these columns a short time ago, the objectors are determined to stop the improvement while the boosters for same are just aa determined that it will go thru. The real objection, as stated a number of times previously, comes from outsiders who own property and summer homes down the river and who are of the opinion that the outlet into the river will prove detrimental to them and their families. This faction is not opposed to the system itself, but rather to the proposed site of the outlet It is their money, we are told, that is assisting to defray the attorney's fees and other incidentals incurred in carrying on the fight. As the matter stands now the fight is going to be an expensive one for the taxpayers of the village and* a double expense for those who are objecting to the' improvement Too bad that the two factions cannot be brought together, settle their differences out of court and then allow the improvement to go in without further delay and cost Why not do this? INJUNCTION DISSOLVED Flashboards to Be Replaced at Fox River Dam i -ate - Chicago, Sept 26, 19$8. 'The McHenry Plaindealer, ^ ? McHenry, HI. Gentlemen--The following "report has been submitted by the legal committee of the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association on the suit •of the Everett Hunter Boat company of McHeifiy, 111., et al, vs. the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association, which oame up before his honor. Edward D.> ShurtlefT, on Monday, Sept. 25, at Woodstock, M« and on motion of the complainant the injunction was dissolved and the bill was dismissed. This leaves the matter in form so that the association can bring action for damages on the suit filed by the complainant in the sum of $500.00, and the amount of damages that can be recovered depending on the amount of suit filed'for damages made by the association. Respectfully submitted, C, A. Phelps, r ; f\- % Otto Ring, .w'• Legal Committee. If'the residents of the lake region will contribute as they did during 1921 these difficulties will not arise and the organization will have funds to finance itself and to maintain the activities of the association. • It has been very gratifying to the officers, directors and committees to receive in the last two weeks dues of many of the delinquents, all of whom expressed themselves as heartily in support of the association and appreciating that its recent action was a forced condition due to the lack of funds, and apologizing for their Jate. ness in paying their 1922 dues. In view of the fact that these delinquents are now paying up, the directors of the association feel that they will have ample money to maintain the McHenry dam later this year and are therefore replacing the boards of McHenry dam and taking the chance that sufficient money will be forthcoming from the delinquents of 1922 and new members to gay ipr this further activity. . .f i Respectfully yours, v ^.v Fox River A Lakes Improvement Assn.
