In' view of the fact that his skull was fractured in three places his recovery appears miraculous. A new municipali£y, t© be knotwn as Asbestos City, is to see its birth just north of Waukegan in the very near future. The new city will be made up chiefly of employes of the Johns- Manville company, which is ejecting a large plant there.

Brandon, constitutional convention delegate and supreme secretary of the Loyal Order of Moose, who spoke on the new constitution at the Empire theatre here on Monday evening of this week, its defeat will mean that the people of the state will never have a chance to get another. Mr. Brandon, who appeared in Mc- Henry upon the invitation of the Mc- Henry Community club, spoke in favor of the instrument thruout and, while the ordinary listener could not get the full meaning of everything that- the speaker had to say, the sum and substanee of the new constitution was made so clear that it was easily understood. "There are three branches to the government," the speaker told his audience, i{the judicial, executive and legislative. These must be kept from exercising undue imbuence over the other. They must be kept distinct and separate to safeguard the people's rights and act as a check one upon the other." The speaker dwelt at some length upon the tix questions, declaring that under the provisions of the new constitution lafcrs could be enacted which would give the state an avenue for the collection of a large amount of taxes on intangible property which is now evading taxation. He does not believe that the intangible property should pay as much tax as the tangible and in explaining his point of view he took for example a 100 acre farm near McHenry' which today was worth $200 per acre as against a valuation of $1.00 per acre one hundred years ago. "Hie up-building of the community in which the farm is located naturally brought up its price, while the intangible property, such as stocks, bonds, notes and mortgages, do not ordinarily increase -in value, the speaker pointed out. However, he did believe and the new constitution so provided that both classes of property should pay a rate of tax that would be just and right. He also pointed out that jthe new constitution places the control of the courts into the hands of the supreme courts. This provision is made for the particular benefit of Cook county, where criminal court judges are appointed thru the precinct committee. Under the present day laws, he explained, a criminal is brought before the judge and within a vary short time is again walking the streets thru the channels of the professional bondsmen. In Chicago men have been known to be at liberty under nine distinct bonds. After their release on their first bonds it was presumed that he went right out and knocked another fellow*over the head in order to secure the money to . pay off his bondsmen. Under the provisions of the new constitution this can be done away with entirely as the judge is given the power to refuse bail. Another point in the new constitution, the speaker explained, was the section which permits the reading of the bible in the public schools of the state. The provision, however, is not compulsory. "Every text book concern in the country is now issuing book of selected scriptural passages which have been approved jointly by Catholics, Protestants and Jews," declared the speaker. Mr. Brandon concluded his talk by urging every voter in the town of McHenry to get out and work and see to it that their neighbors get to the polls on Dec. 12. The speaker was introduced by W. L. Howell, president of the McHenry Community club, but owing to the fact that church services and lodge meetings kept many away the audience was not as large as had been desired. Copies of the new constitution were passed out to the audieoo* as they left the theatre. Waa Exceptionally Fine Young Funeral Held Here Monday Afternoon Largely Attended It was with a feeling of profound sorrow that the people of this village and community last Friday morning received the sad news of the death of Ralph Ritter, which occurred at the West Side hospital in Chicago at seven o'clock that morning. As chronicled in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, the most unfortunate young man suffered a broken neck between the fourth and fifth cervical vertebra when an automobile in which lie, with four companions, PAPfcR ISSUED EAR# ^ .NEXT WEEK On account of Thanksgiving The Plaindealer will go to press one day early next week--Wednesday morning.

Of solid gold, with an open front, the watch may. be made to strike the hour or quarter hours at any time by merely pushing the s$em, so that if one were out at night in some dark spot with this remarkable time piece and had no light'with which to see the dial, by pushing the stem one could get the proper time tolled off by a most musical little gong. The time piece is valued at about $3,000 and is tte only <oi* Iff its kind in existence^ quite a large following of foot ball fans and, no doubt, many of these will avail themselves of the opportunity of keeping in touch w^£h the action of the play by accepting Mr. Howell's invitation. Blinding Lights Cause Aeddewt Blinded by the bright lights of an approaching automobile, Harry Routine drove his machine into the traffic post at the intersection of Main street and Elgin road last Friday evening. Luckily the*driver escaped injury, altho his car suffered considerable damage. There is a law which provides for the dimming of lights by approaching autoists, but many are was riding when the machine left the road and tipped over at a culvert at the foot of Pained hill, a short dis tance north of Crystal Lake. The accident took place on Sunday afternoon, November 12. The body was removed to Sheldon's chapel, 912 West Madison street, where the inquest was held last Saturday morning. The body arrived in McHenry that evening and was immediately taken to the home of his parents on Broad street. Obituary Ralph Raymond Ritter, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Ritter of this village, was born in Chicago on November 2, 1904. When two years of age the parents moved to the Stoffel farm east of this village, where they resided for about three years. The family then moved to Marengo, where Italph completed his first term of schooL On the family's return to this community and during the eight years in which they conducted a hotel at Lily Lake the young mqjn attended the Lily Lake school, from which he graduated from the eighth grade with high honors. About three years ago he, with his parents, came to make his home in this village. Shortly after coming here he entered the employ of the plant of the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic company at Terra Cotta, where he has been a faithful as well as a most valued employe ever since. Ralph had been employed at the plant but a few months before officials and his foreman recognized in him exceptional qualities and in order to give him every opportunity the company saw fit to place him in the drafting room. This was about two years ago. Since that time he has not only proven his ability, but, with the aid of a correspondence course, he had come to be recognised as a man of exceptional insight along these lines. It was about six months ago that he first took up the correspondence course with the International Correspondence school in his desire to fit himself as a draftsman and only a very short time ago the school, in recognition of the exceptional progress that was being made by the McHenry students presented him with a $200 insurance policy. His last efforts at the Terra Cotta plant were the making of the blue prints for repairs to be made on the West McHenry State bank building in this village. He was one of those clean-cut, likeable young men whom we all like to meet and know and with his fellow workmen at Terra Cotta he has been a real favorite ever since his connection with the plant. He was just a bit different from the ordinary boy of his age, in that he w^s of the quiet type whose ever pleasing smile and courteous manner won for him the highest of esteem. The shock of his sudden and untimely end to his grief stricken parents and members of his family is fully appreciated by the .people of this entire community, who join in extending to the bereaved ones their most heartfelt and loving sympathy In this, their sad hour of bereavement. Hie funeral took place from his late home and thence from the Universalist church Monday afternoon. Rev. John Grimes officiated at the services and preached the sermon, during which he paid to the memory of the deceased a most loving tribute. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. HoUy sang in their usual pleasing manner. The church was filled to overflowing by relatives and friends who had gathered to pay their last respects and to follow the remains to their last resting place in Woodland cemetery. Included among this gathering were all of the Mc Henry employes of the Terra Cotta factory, all of his fellow workmen from tie drafting room as well as a number of the officials and plant foremen. A higher tribute of respect was never paid a citizen of this village. Active pall-bearers wefe Walter Scholts, Steve Kercholtz, Charles Howlett of Chicago, Leo Winkel, Paul Brefeld and Joe Buch of this village. The honorary pall-bearers were Jos. May, William Kennebeck, George Bohr and Thomas McCabe. In celebration of the golden jubilee of the Holy Name society, national in its scope, the local society held a retreat at St. Patrick "te church here last week. Thl special services, in charge of Father Raphael, a passionist priest, started last Thursday morning and came to a close on Sunday morning, when the entire membership of the McHenry society received holy communioft One of the outstanding features of the retreat was the granting to the membership of very special privileges by the pope, these being granted by his holiness as a reward for the splendid exemplification of faith by the members last summer jfvhen holy communion was offered for him. A picture of the members was taken in front of the church edifice at the time and forwarded to the pope. Immediately after the close of the retreat forty hour devotion was begun and continued until Tuesday night, when the special services came to a close with solemn benediction. Father Raphael also was in charge of these services, rendering very fine sermons each morning and evening. The retreat as well as the devotional services were very well attended. SEMSMEEARHG HELD OBJECTORS ARE REPRESENTED BY WAUKEGAN ATTORNEY ST. MARY'S FAIR Ts Be Held at American Legion Wall November 26, 28 and 30 Squeezed By Auto Trade John Distler was quite severely squeezed by a big auto truck owned and driven by "Fred Weinschenker late last Saturday afternoon. The accident took place near the Schoenhoefen storage house west of the railroad tracks. At first it was believed that the heavy truck had passed over the man's body, but after an examination by Dr. A. I. Froehlich, who attended him, it was found that this could not have been possible as no bones had been broken. Altho suffering considerable soreness for a day or two, Mr. Distler is again able to be up and around and apparently none the less off as the result of the unusual experience. Ladies' AM Met The Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church met last Thursday, Nov. 16, at the home of Mrs. Geo. Kuhn. The Thanksgiving spirit prevailed and a good time was enjoyed by all present. The next meeting will be held Friday, Dec. 1, at the home of Mrs. Harvey Baron, who will be assisted by Mrs. John Miller. A good time is assured, come and bring a friend. The annual chicken pie supper will be served by the ladies at the parsonage on Thursday evening, Dec. 14. Next Community Meet Dec. S Owing to conflicting dates the next meeting of the McHenry Community club has been set back one week from its original date and will be held on Tuesday evening, Dec. 5. A dinner will precede the next meeting, the place for holding same to be announced in next week's issue of The Plaindealer. A good speaker will also be procured for the occasion.

A Fire Scare A spark from a burning chimney at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bohlander set fire to the roof about six o'clock last Thursday evening. While the fire whistle was sounded and volunteers were very prompt to respond, the small blaze was extinguished with a stream of water from a garden hose' never be cause for owned «f Disposal Plant In Made the Real Issoe--Board Passes Sewerage Ordinance Friday Night The public hearing on the proposed sewerage system for the village of McHenry took place as'previously advertised at the Empire theatre last Friday afternoofi. After calling the meeting to order President Simon S toff el, of the board of local improvements, had the roll called with all members answering present. Following roll call the chair, in his usual fair and impartial manner, explained to the gathering the purpose of the meeting and the board's desire that all who so wish be given an opportunity to express themselves. The president then announced that the board was ready to listen to arguments. G. C. Boley was the first to arise and, while he appeared considerably excited, he made it clear to everyone that he .stood for a new system of sewerage and expressed himself as very much disgusted over the prevailing situation and especially because of the fact that the improvement had not been given to the citizens of McHenry long before now. "Locate your disposal plant as per your plans," he fairly shouted, "and give us the sewer." Mr. Boley again arose about ten minutes before the close of the meeting and once more urged that the board go ahead with the proposed plans and not pay any attention- to the objectors. He came in.for considerable applause. + Atty. Buckley of Waukegan, representing the objectors, next arose and, after presenting, a petition said to contain the names of approximately 180 voters of the village, he appeared in a lengthy plea, asking that the board choose another site in place of the one decided on for ^he location of the disposal platit and purification system. The speaker repeatedly referred to the proposed site as the front door to our village /und attempted to show that it would be very unwise for the board to follow but their plans as to the location of the proposed plant. The Waukegan attorney represented not only t^e objectors here in McHenry, but a number of summer home owners as well, and during the argument set forth that the location of the disposal plant at the foot of Waukegan street would not only prove a detriment to McHenry's chief asset, our river, but would cause a number of summer home owners to leave the community. In fact, all of M,r. Buckley's argu ments hinged on the location of the outlet to the proposed sewerage system rather than opposition to the system itself. At the conclusion of his remarks he was asked by Atty. B. F. Lang worthy, the Chicago attorney, who has been engaged by the village as well as board of local improvements to assist them in this matter, whether or not he or his clients stood ready to offer suggestions as «to where they 'thought the outlet shoidd be located To this the Waukegan attorney replied in substance that he nor his clients had come to the meeting to say where these tanks should be io cated. He let it be understood that he had been engaged to oppose the proposed site and this he was trying to do. Mr. Buckley arose on several ^different occasions as questions were being directed at him by not only Atty. Langworthy, but an engineer from the river and lakes commission, and for* a few moments, at least, the arguments became quite heated. Two engineers, representing the Wells Engineering company of Aurora, which company made the surveys for the proposed sanitary sewer-» age system, were present at the meeting and conveyed the impression that the proposed site for the disposal plant was the logical one and that they were of the belief that there would any ill effects in ITEMS OF AS PICKED UP BY PLAlNDl REPORTERS DURING The big bazaar, sponsored by the pastor and parishioners of St. Mary's Catholic church of this village, opens at the American Legion hall next Sunday noon. The members of the various committees are exercising their very best efforts to make this year's event equally as successful as that of a year ago, when all previous records were broken. With this as their aim the workers are giving over every minute of their spare time in furtherance of the worthy cause, and with the preliminaries going on in this harmonious maimer nothing but success can andvwill crown the efforts as set forth. Work of erecting the various stands,' tables and the various other contrivances necessary for the holding of the bazaar is scheduled to start today and by Sunday noon everything should be in readiness for the big opening. The festivities will continue all afternoon and evening on the opening day, and will again be continued on Tuesday afternoon, when the ladies of the parish will hold a public card party. The bazaar will also be open to the public that evening. Wednesday afternoon has been -set aside for the amusement and entertainment of the little folks, who are sure to turn, out in goodly numbers. In the evening there will be a social dance with fifst-class music in attendance. Thursday (Thanksgiving) will be the last and closing day. "Hie customary dinner will be served by the ladies of the parish, starting at eleven o'clock and continuing until all have been served. Needless to say that a bounteous repast awaits those who plan on partaking of this dinner as all of the delicacies of the season will be included in the bill of fare. Supper will also be served in the evening, starting at the customary hour. The closing night will undoubtedly see the spacious hall packed to its utmost capacity. Everyone will be anxious to, witness the close, which never fails to produce mi^ch merriment and a kindly spirit among those who make up the crowd. St. Mary's church, during the past several years, has gone considerably in debt in making the needed improvements and therefore your presence and support at the bazaar will mean a true work of charity. The money derived from this source will be used in paying off, so far as the receipts | will permit, the indebtedness now carried by the parish. Don't forget the place and dates. Come early and often and invite your friends, A_ gopd time is in store for by Mr. Bohlander. Mr. and • locating the outlet at that particular Mrs. Bohlander deeply appreciate th^point. The site for the outlet has alpromptness of the volunteer* in gethready been approved by the state ting to the fire. [highway department, which has juris- " , diction in such matters. As a final Dairymen Get Boo* . Atty Buckley, on behalf of his Dairymen thruout this section wiH jclient.s, asked that the entire probe pleased to learn that they will ' ceedjngs be given a two weeks' delay ceive a boost of 20 cents per hundred j ^ tj,at ^he two factions for milk delivered during the month 1 ^ brought together and agree " ~ L 'on another site for the outlet. It was then brought out by attorneys and engineers for the board of local improvements that there was but one site and as this site is located about three miles south of the river and where the sewerage would also have its final outlet into the river, it would mean an,additional expenditure of approximately $15,000 a mile or a total of $46*000. This, they ventured to say, would make the proposed improvement utterly impossible, unless it was agreed by the of December. This will bring the December price up to $2.10 per hundred instead of $1.90. ,The price was agreed upon at a conference of the dealers and milk board of the Milk Producers' association held in Chicago last Friday. • - Announce Engagement Elgin Courier: "Mr. audi Mrs. J. G. Smith of 850 Bellevue avenue announce the engagement of their daughter, Helen Josephine, to Edwin A. Lamphere of Rockford, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lamphere of 832 St. John street, this city. The wed-• objectors to pay this additional cost, ding will take place in January." Ed-1 While the objectors did^ not say win A. Lamphere is a nephew of W. .whether or not this could be brought D.

A ladder was all that was needed in this instance and had the owner of the building been the possessor of one of sufficient length to reach the roof the fire alarm would never have been sounded. Let's buy some ladders without further delay. » George (Sox) Engeln In California George Engeln, more familiarly known to McHenry people as "Sox," is out in California, in which state he has made his home for two years or more. Recent letters from him to McHenry relatives go on to say that he has taken a furlough from the Soldiers' home, California, and is how engaged in raising chickens and rabbits. Dance at Ringweii .
