The McHenry unit was represented at the meeting by F. H. Wattle^ E. J, Fellows, Thqs. A. Boiger, John Anderson, Nels Pierson, John Piereon and Anton P. Freund. E. J. Fellows, of the McHenry gation, was called upon by the man of the meeting and responded by giving the assemblage a general survey of present day milk problems as he saw them and was heartily cheered at the close of his half-hour talk. Mr. Fellows, being interested in dairying for many years, is thoroly posted on things that so deeply concern the dairy farmer of today and his knowledge of the milk industry places him in a position to know whereof he s. No doubt his talk on Tues- MltK IMKETING COMPANY _ / HUCD TO INTEREST DAIRYMEN A*MEETING LAST FRIDAY Altho the meeting, sponsored by the Milk Marketing company and held at the Woodman hall here last Friday evening, brought out a very good representation of dairy farmers thruout the McHenry district, the speakers of the evening failed to interest their listeners sufficiently to get titan to sign up. The meeting Was attended by about forty dairymen of the McHenry district, most of whom are signed up with the Milk Producers' association, while Richmond «*mt down about thirty producers, who, at the present time, are members of the marketing company. Walter J. Walsh, who during the J |>ast few years has given over considerable of his time and energy in the interest t>f the marketing company, presided as chairman of the meeting and handled the honorable position in his usual capable manner. Among the speakers of the evening were Col. Downs and Mr. Heaton, the former a field representative of the Milk Producers' Co-operative Marketing company and the latter the head of the dairy department of the United State Farm Bureau federation. Their addresses were followed by SELEC1MWPR0UTE STATE WANTS TO BUILD ROAB THRU NORTH fND > ,y left much food for thought among fe seven or eight hundred dairymen | *eneral discuss.ons. which, for a fame. gathered at the meeting and that hiij?*£^? to bw„omt r,?,,ho^ *nton endeavor appealed to the large assemblage goes without saying. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, Frank. T. Holt; vice {President, Joseph T. Lyons; treasurer, Atty. Chas. T. Allen; secretary, E. C. Rockwell. Two nry of the above named officers, the vice president and treasurer, are from Cary, thus giving McHenry county a distinction which she has never before enjoyed. Altho this is ft matter for the milk board to decide, it is quite likely that the present arrangement of contracting with the big dealers, from month to month, will be continued for some time to come or until such time as general conditions thruout the country have reached a stage nearer to normalcy than exists at the present time. It was pointed out at the meeting where P. Freund and E. J. Fellows being among the audience to take issue with the speakers. • As near as we are able to learn the marketing company Ws signed up about a dozen members in the Mc- MASQI EKADE AT JOHNSBURG SATURDAY EVENING! * -George Kloepfer, proprietor ef a dance hall at Johnsburg bearing his name, is preparing to entertain a huge crowd at a masquerade ball to be held there next Saturday evening, Feb. 10. Ever since making the first announcement Mr. Kloepfer has received numerous inquiries as to the dance and, judging from these, he is looking for a good representation of the young people from the immediate vicinity as well a» from McHenry, Ringwood, the dairymen of the district have been j Solon Mills, Woodstock and numerous benefitted quite materially during the other towns in this vicinity.

These costumes will arrive at his place next Saturday. This will be the only mas- McHENRY RESIDENTS Nfltf 'AT ALL SATISFIED WTTH SELECTION MADE Supervisor Stephen H. Freund of McHenry township, who is also a member of the McHenry county road and bridge committee, accompanied four other members of that body to Springfield last week, where they consulted the governor and Hie members of the state department of public works and buildings on a matter appertaining to a route between Harvard and Marengo. While at Springfield the McHenry supervisor was given just a few minutes' time for an interview with Col. Miller and Mr. Sheets on our own route, No. 20, and one can easily imagine Mr. Freund's surprise on being told that the route, so far as the village of McHenry is concerned, had been chosen by the selection of their department of what is referred to by these gentlemen as the north route. Upon Mr. Freund's return to McHenry he immediately got in touch with the local road committee and as a result a meeting was called at the office of R. I. Overton last Friday evening. At the meeting Mr. Freund told the committee that the route selected was one which crossed the river at or near the present bridge, thence followed Pearl street to Maple avenue, thence a short distance north on Maple avenue to Wm. Bonslett's new subdvision, thru this subdivision, around the lower end of the mill pon<j and thence west across the C. & N. W. railroad tracks, crossing several farms and finally connecting with the present highway on top of what is more commonly known as Sherman's hill. Mr. Freund's message didn't set at all well with the road committee, the village board failed to sanction it and the McHenry Community club disapproved of it. * As a result of this condition the members of the village board at their regular session, held on Monday evening of this week, passed a resolution asking the governor and the state department to reconsider and give us the road where it will pass thru both McHenry and West McHenry and where same, in these men's opinion, the road would serve the , greatest possible good. At Tuesday evening's meeting of the McHenry Community club another resolution to coincide with that passed by the village board was adopted and passed and it was there agreed and MEETING" OF COMMUNITY CLUB MORB THAN THIRTY MEMBERS * ENJOY CHICKEN DINNER querade to be held in this vicinity this the year 1923, which seems to indicate j year and therefore a big crowd is anthat most of the milk producers in j ticipated.

" , In an interview with one of the solicitors The Plaindealer is informed that the workers experienced little or no trouble in getting the signatures. As a matter of fact, in most instancy the dairymen were all set for the signing on being approached. PLEASE GIV¥ WAY~TO~' TOE f IRE TRUCK Wm.

It will be remembered that the beneficiary recently met with the sad misfortune of losing his left hand in a corn shelter accident. The members of the local court of Daughter of America served refreshments during the evening and thereby assisted in swelling the fund by turning over the net proceeds as derived thru this source. The officers of McHenry council feel grateful for the ready response given on this occasion and wish to thank the public for their attendance as well as the members of the Daughters of America f«r kindly interest and efforts.^ INSTALLING VERY LATEST />. ^ < IfOVING -PICTURE MACHINE 'John W. Smith, owner and proprietor of the Empire theatre here, is this week having installed in his place of amusement one of the very latest Powers picture machines. The installation of this machine, the very latest known to the moving-picture world, places the McHenry theatre on par with any to be found outside of the larger centers. Mr. Smith's aim is to give the theatre-going public the very best that the market affords and his latest investment fully verifies this statement. In the way of pictures, he is also giving his patrons just a notch better th&n the average as usually seen in towns, and cities the gize of McHenry and even larger. We congratulate the McHenry theatre owner FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH A union patriotic service has been arranged for next Sunday morning. It is in honor of Lincoln's birthday and will be held *€ the Methodist church at 11:00 o'clock. The regular and the state department of public works and buildings. Since the road matter has again reached a stage of fever heat, it has been said that the McHenry county board of supervisors has gone on record as being utterly opposed to purchasing the expensive rights-ofway for cement*,road construction so long as the present highways will answer the purpose just as well and by following these thorofares very little right-of-way will lu)ve to.be parchased. The McHenry supervisor stands squarely with his co-workers on this matter and adds further that he will never consent to go out and purchase the outlined right-of-way, Which would cost McHenry county in the neighborhood of $30,000, as he estimates it. Judging from the above spirit it looks as if the state can and will be induced to change the routing of the road so as to bring it into McHenry over Pearl, Elm or Waukegan streets. According to steps which are now being taken, it is not unlikely that a local committee, accompanied by the members of the McHenry county road and bridge committee, will make a special trip to Springfield in an endeavor to have* the chief exeutive and his able lieutenants change the course of the road so as to conform with the wishes of a great many residents both in the village as well as along our Fox river a6d the farming communities. Contract Let Just before going to press this (Thursday) morning we learn that the contract for route 20, between the city of Woodstock and Sherman's hill, a distance of six and one-half ipiles, has been awarded to Charles E. Giertz & Son of Elgin. The contract price for the entire job is about $150,000. Work on the job will start just as soon as weather will permit MADE FIRST RUN MONDAY x McHenry*s newly acquired temporary fire fighting truck made its initial run late Monday afternoon in answering a call to a roof fire caused by the burning out of a chimney at the home of Mrs. Mary Carey on Green street While the fire was extinguished without the aid of the volunteer fire de- More than thirty members of the McHenry Community club enjoyed a seven o'clock chicken dinner at the McHenry House on Tuesday evening of this week. Thru the courtesy of Prof. C. H. Duker of our school system a number of song books, containing all of the old and familiar airs, were on hand tfnd for the first time this year the meeting was enlivened With a number of songs. A number of matters'were brought up during the evening, the most important of which was the road question, which was argued pro and con at some length. As a climax to these arguments a resolution concuring with that passed by the members of the village board the previous evening was adopted and passed. This resolution asks the chief executor of our state to reconsider the location of route 20 thru our village. As stated in our road article, ^rhich appears in another column of this week's issue, the word reached McHenry last week that the governor and his state department of public works and buildings had decided on the north route in passing thru this village. It was further voted at the meeting to instruct the club's road committee to get in touch with the road and bridge' Committee of the McHenry county board of -supervisors in an endeavor to have the road routed thru both sides of the village, where it will do the greatest number of otxr people the most good. A copy of the resolutions as passed will be mailed to the governor as well as the state department of public works and buildings. A united effort of the present membership aij. well as the membership committee is also to be made in an endeavor to bring the club's membership on par with that of last year. Since the first of the year the attendance at these semi-monthly meetings and dinners has not been any too encouraging to the officers, hence the supreme effort to stir up a little more interest among our citizens and a larger membership. As stated so many times thru these columns, McHenry needs such an organization and many good things can be accomplished by such a body if the citizens, especially the business -and professional men, will only lend their co-operation. The next meeting of the club will take place on Tuesday evening/ Feb. 20, the jdace of meeting to be announced in next week's issue of this paper. SEWERAGE ARGUMENT!

Sewerage boosters, who heard most of the arguments, are sure that the improvement will be confirmed, while the objectors appear to be of the opinion that the judge would not be Justified in handing down such a decision in the matter.
