Howard V. Phalin, the council's lecturer, who has stimulated more interest in the council jiuring his jurisdiction than any of his predecessors in that office, is chiefly responsible for last Thursday night's happy occasion. The evening's event was opened with an introductory speech by the lecturer, who then introduced the three entertainers who had been brought to McHenry from Chicago. The young men a ventriloquist, vocalist and pianist, provided • program* that greatly pleased the big audience in attendance. The entertainment was followed by dancing and the serving of light refreshments. Music for the dancing was provided by the Fox River Four, to whom the council is indebted for their endeavors to assist in making the occasion the big social success it proved to be.

JOgygftj&q .MERCHANT REDUCING STOCK m Chir attention has been called to an error in our columns last week when in speaking of the special sale now being conducted by C. M. Adams, the veteran merchant at Johnsburg. We stated that this was a closing out sale and that Mr. Adams would retire. Since the appearance of the article we are informed that the sale is for the purpose of reducing stock and that the proprietor has no intention of retiring from business at this time. We regret the error and are pleased to make the correction. The sale*is still on and will oome to a close next Saturday evening. Thus there are still many bargains awaiting those who have not yet taken advantage of the very much reduced prices. SO. FOX RIVER IMPBOVBr MENT ASSN. MEETING PLAN DANCE AS 'MEANS OF RAISING FUNDS--MAY PURCHASE NEW EQUIPMENT Gradually McHenry coming into its own and it now looks as if the village will soon be able to boast of a, real fire department. A meeting of those interested in such a department took place at the vitiligo hall on Monday evening of this week and as a result an organization, with Peter W. Frett as chief, was effected. Those present at the meeting who volunteered and were subsequently made members of the new organization were: Jack Walsh, Ray McGee, William Bickler, Herbert Hoffmann, William Smith, Jehn R. Jus ten, Ray F. Conway, James T. Perkins, Geo. H. Johnson, Art Johnson, John Sauer and Peter W. Frett. Various matters appertaining to fire fighting equipment and a way to raise funds came up for discussion and as a result it was voted to hold an annual dance for the benefit of the company and arrangement were at once started for the holding of the initial social event to take place on the evening of June 20. Tickets for the event will be placed on sale within the course of the next few days. Chief Frett, who has been giving over considerable of his time of late in investigating fire equipments as used in neighboring cities and towns, is of the opinion that no expense should be saved in giving McHenry an outfit that will not only be best suited to our needs, but one that will be substantial in every respect. In his rounds of investigation,he has found that in a number of the towns the mistake has been made in purchasing small or inferior equipment, much to the regret of the towns who so foolishly invested their fire department funds. After discovering their mistake the old outfit was out of necessity discarded for the more modern equipment. This mistake, the chief avers, can and should be avoided in McHenry and if the members of the department have their way our equipment will be right up to the minute and adequate to take care of the local needs. A first-class equipment, suitable for local requirements, can be purchased at a price ranging from $8,500 to $5,000. Such an outfit, we are told, can be used in the village as well as the immediate territory adjoining. It is the plan of the fire department to hold regular drills and keep their equipment in such condition as to merit the support of every citizen of the municipality and with the co-operation of the citizenship of McHenry their plans will be fulfilled to the letter. A well organised and fully equipped fire department will mean a great deal to McHenry. Not only will it be an added safe-guard to lives and property, but will also mean a very appreciable reduction in our insurance rates. „ I According to members of the department, an effort is to he made to dispose of 1,000 tickets for the dance to be held next month and if this can be accomplished the net returns from such an undertaking would give them a very neat fund with which to start. The department is worthy of the that is good In highclass theatricals is promised by J. B. Rotnour and his m^rry cast of players at the Empire two nights, Wednesday and Thursday, May 9 and 10. Mr. Rotnour needs no introduction to the McHenry theatre-goers, as he has had His attractions here many times. This is the starting of the tent season and 'the company will show here for two nights prior to starting the season. , There.ax* fourteen people to the company, which is the largest cast 'of players that Mr. Rotnour has ever offered. Not only is the acting cast exceedingly good, but the vaudeville between acta^is high-class and interesting. The play for Wednesday, May 9, will be "The Millionaire's Son and the Shop Girl," a play with gripping dra matic situations and a whirl wind of pure comedy. The play is not an over drawn drama, but one written recently and embraces people of every walk of life. The second night will be the latest sensation play of "The Dope." Mr. Rotnour has spared no time nor expense in contracting for these two late successes and he assures his many friends in McHenry and vicinity the very strongest assemblage of dramatic and vaudeville talent that he has ever presented. Special stage settings are carried for every production. The prices have been placed exceedingly low and may be had in advance at the box office of Empire theatre. Telephone your order, write or call in person and make your reservations for each night. 4iOL* ii*iTHUSIASTS OUT IN GOODLY NUMBERS MILK PRKE LOWER DEALERS TO PAY SI* FOR MAY AND.S2JS FOR JtJNL STORMY SESSION DEALERS AND MfUt ASSOCIATION After quite a bitter conference between dealers and the Milk Producers' association, a compromise was agreed upon at 8:30 o'clock on Monday evening of this week whereby dairymen will receive $2.80 for May and $2.28 for June milk, The price as received during-the past twe months was $2.40 and it-was the contention of the officials- of the Milk Producers' associaton tliat this same price should be maintained thruout the months of May and June. This brought on a bitter controversy, which ended only after hours of debate during which things became mighty warm, it is said. Dairymen thruout the McHenry district, while not exactly pleased over the priees as agreed upon, feel that the officials did the very best they could for them and will continue to deliver their products to the bottling plants at the prices as agreed upon. One of the real big problems which is once more ^confronting the farmer of today is that of help. With the manufacturing plants thruout the country once more operating at near full capacity, many of the-young men who worked on farms last year have now drifted to the cities, with the re-1 suit that the farmers, in some cases at least, are strictly up against it fdr help. This condition, together with the wages they are asked to pay for labor, keeps them in hot water almost constantly. With the prices of feed and the high wages, the^armer must have a fair price for his product and, unless he gets this, we can never expect to see conditions get back to anywhere near normalcy. The renting farmer of today, as we see it, is REORGANIZING BALL TEAM LOCALS HOPE TO OPEN SEASON ONE,WEEK FROM SUNDAY Mh %?• ness of real importance and all members are urgently requested to be present.

He bore the unique distinction of having attended the Lake county fair at Libertyville ever since its inception until two years ago, when he was unable to make the trip. Representatives of this district, which include Charles ft. Francis of Woodstock, Wm. Pierce of Belvidere and W. F. Weiss of Waukegan, ail went on record on Wednesday of last wedc as voting against the women's eight hour bill. The bill was defeated m the lower house and now goes to the Illinois senate for concurrence. Richard Townsend, aged seventyseven years, met death early last Thursday morning while on his way to the Round Lake depot with a load of milk. He plunged to the ground head first when the front axle of his wagon broke, causing one of the wheels to come off. JBis neck was broken in the fall and death was almost instantaneous. Officials of the Lake County Fair association are doing their utmost to save the association and thus assure Lata county of its annual fair. A proposition has been put before the village of Libertyville whereby A nesting of the South Fox River Improvement association has been called and will take place at the summer home of the president, Peter S. j support of everyone and here's hoping Lynch, at Fair Oaks subdivision at j that this will be cheerfully granted.

DOROTHY LILLIAN PETERSON The profound sympathy of their many friends thruout this vicinity is extended to Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Peterson, who reside northwest of this village, in the loss of their two 8nd a half year old daughter, Dorothy Lillian,, who passed away at the family home last Sunday evening after a four weeks' illness. .The funeral took place from the home at 2:00 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon of this week with interment in Woodland cemetery.

Her age was eighty-one years. Surviving the deceased are four children, as follows: Edward, John and Mrs. John Maher of Chicago and Mrs. Mary Brennan who resides In Canada. The body was brought to this village last Thursday morning and services were conducted from St. Patrick's church by Rev. M. J. McEvoy. Burial was in the family lot to Patrick's cemetery.

The links of the McHenry Country club I strictly up against it, while the farm have been well occupied every day this j owner is also well able to take care of week and, judging from this, the Re-ergahisation of the McHerrry Baseball club is now under way and if the boys who have undertaken the task of putting a team onto the field are successful the opening of the season will tak6 place on Sunday, May 13. Evidently ball '- players are not superstitious Just what sort of a line-up McHenry will present at the opening game cannot be determined at this time, altho it is expend that, like last season, the home club, with the possible exception of a battery, will be made up of local players. It is the plan of those who have interested themselves in the forming of a team to build up an organization of players selected from this village and Johnsburg and by so doing hope to construct a machine that will be able to cope with any of the amateur aggregations in this section. The outfield will probably remain the same as last year, with "Bobby" Knox in left, Bolger in center and Buss in right. For the infield "Steve" King will probably take care of the hot corner with Winkel on short, "Shooty" Thelea second and Frank Freund on first. The boys have also obtained a line on a first-class pitcher, who is perfectly willing to come to McHenry this season, altho a battery mate for this young man isnt so easily obtained, according to officials of the club. The initial work-o&t of the season is scheduled to take place at the ball grounds next Sunday afternoon and every candidate who wishes to try for a position on the team is invited to come out and display his mettle. During the coming week, either the members of the club or friends of the boys will canvass the town for funds, as without money a ball. -W «a impossibility.

Whether or not the club is to sponsor another advertising campaign this spring will be decided at this meeting as will other matters that may be brought up for final action. WOS& Ga SEWERAGE ^>4* STARTED TUESDAY Actual work on McHenry's new sewerage system was started on Elm street, near Stilling' garage, late Tuesday afternoon of this week and. altho some difficulties have been encountered on account of cave-ins, this progress thus far has been quite satisfactory. The tile and covers for the manholes arrived last week and have been distributed about town. Sewerage boosters heard of the actual ^tart with a feeling of great satisfaction and everyone will be pleased to see the big Job rushed to an early completion. 1IRST METHODIST CHURCH At the morning worship Sunday special mycic will be furnished by Mr. Fred Peters, tenor, of the Metropolitan Glee club.

FLAG RAISING LAST FRIDAY As advertised, the dedicatory services and flag raising at the new flag pole on the school grounds took place last Friday afternoon before a large assemblage of pupils and some older folks. A beautiful American flag was unfurled on that day and since then has been flown daily froli the big pole. INITIATE CLASS OF EIGHT A -class of eight candidates were initiated by Riverview camp, R. N.

Another matter at this particular time which doesn't seem to set well with the majority of the farmers in the McHenry territory is the co-operative bill, known as the "Lantz bill," which is now before the Illinois state senate. According to Wednesday evening's Woodstock Sentinel, Representative Charles H. Francis of that city has offered an amendment to the bill which he believes will efface the features to which the members of the Milk Producers' association object Even the amendment, we believe, will not pacify dairymen of ^tfcHenry county. PLAN TO CEMENT MAIN CORNERS ABOUT TOWN According to the plans of the president and members of the village board, all the main corners of the village will be cemented and bee-hive signal posts installed, which should prdVe a great improvement JVith present day traffic it is next to a physical impossibility to keep these corners in any sort of repair and by paving these squares the officials believe that one of their great sources of road troubles will be brought to an end. The new style signal posts will also be a big improvement over those as used here during the past few years.

McHKNRY HIGHS BOW TO WAUCONDA BALL TOSSERS / > In their second appearance of the' season here, last Friday afternoon the local high school baseball team dropped a hard game to the Watfconda highs by a score of 11 to 12. Both teams played good baseball in spots. There was considerable hitting, while errors on both sides contributed very materially to the score making. A week ago the McHenry nine handed the Hebron highs a trimming on the local field. 'CARY DISAPPOINTS JUNIOR8 It was a very much disappointed lot of Junior Sox that left the baseball field last Sunday afternoon when the ( ary Cubs failed to put in their appearance for a game with the local team. The McHenry outfit' was all primed for a real battle. On Sunday night, April 29, the Social Circle club of Chicago gave, as had previously been announced, "The Red Lamp," in the new St. Patrick's hall here. They had, however, another one act play called "The Football Tackle," which was also given. Between the acts the club orchestra gave instrumental and vocal selec tions. The "Four Aces" with their banjos and ukelele and incidental songs were particularly good. Both the plays were filled with amusing situations that held the large audience and brought enthusiastic applause for the players. The beautiful hall was filled before the opening strains of the orchestra had engaged attention and the audience was in a receptive mood when the curtain rose on the first act of The Red Lamp.
