Wauconda business men and others have asked the board of local im provements to widen the cement road as it passes thru, that municipality. The road as constructed by the state highway is only eighteen feet in width and the prayer of the property owners is to have same widened from curb to curb.

TRIP UP FOX RIVER TO PISTAKEE BAY BOAT RIDE AND DANCE NEXT TUESDAY EVENING--EVERYBODY IS GOING JUGti^SGHOOL FAC- • ULTY 13 ENGAGED by at least thirty pupils, one more lie hearing on the matter is called for^ instructor has been added to the facn «xt Tuesday evening, June 26, Indications now point that the Jdhns-Manville company, which recently opened some of the new units of the gigantic plant now under con •traction at Waukegan, expect to make the plant there the largest of its kind in the world. The company recently disposed of a large warehouse at Milwaukee, Wis., and moved the equipment as contained therein to Waukegan. It is expected that between 5,000 and 6,000 people will be employed in the new plant when completed and in operation. Pigs on a farm near Harvard were afforded a "real time" last llrarsday afternoon when they were fed up on mash. When Sheriff Edinger of Woodstock arrived on the farm to investigate moonshine rumors the wife of Mike Micalauski poured a barrel of mash into the feed trough. Hie officer, however, recovered spme of the mash and also found a still and a pint bottle of liquor. When the sheriff was taking the alleged moonshiner to Woodstock he passed the pigs and'"noticed that they were carrying real jags. According to a recent issue of the Woodstock Sentinel, the J. & W. Land land near Pinetown, N. C., and in which company quite a large number of McHenry county financiers are interested, has closed the sale of the timber on their property to the Interstate Cooperage company, a Standard oil concern. The side of the timber is expected to enable the company to pay up their loan, deliver to the land sold as well as take of other indebtedness. This as if the McHenry county people will come out all right after all. The Harvard State bank has purchased the property at the corner of Nerth Ayer and East Bjrainard Sts., Harvard, from Henry H. Antrim of Freeport. Mr. Antrim had purchased the property only a short thne ago, contemplating the erection of a banking house which was to quarter the First National bank, a new institution. Ill health caused the Freeport banker to give up the venture. Harvard is to be given a new bank- Thf entire high school faculty for the coming school year is practically engaged, altho there may be a change or two made before the fall opening. Those who have already signed contracts and others who are expected to do so are as follows: C. H. Duker, superintendent; Miss Blanche Pryor, Miss Catherine NAshburner^ Gordon Stringer, Miss EsUier E. Richmond, Miss Ruth Stockeonnd, J. Irving Tallmadge and GlenirW. Wells. Thg teachers who served here during, the past year or more and not return are Romo Bobb, Misk Gertrude Kisch and Miss Cleora Johnson. Owing to the fact that the school attendance is expected to be increased te moi ulty. Miss Richmond comes to McHenry from Wheaton, 111., Miss Stockebrand from Naperville, Sir. Tallmadge from St. Paul, Minn., aikl Mr. Wells is from this city, having just graduated from Lombard this spring. There isn't a chance of getting into the new building this fall, but members of the school board sincerely hope that at least a part of the structure may be opened up and iwed by the first of the year. XhQFSBm SHOE REPAIR SHOP FOR McHENRY Bernard Popp, who during the past few months has conducted a shoe repair shop at Johnsburg, has rented the store room in what is commonly known as the Spaulding building on the West Side and will open a firstclass shoe repair shop therein. Mr. Popp is now having his equipment moved to the building from Johnsburg and hopes to have the electric power all connected to enable him to start operations there next Monday morning. For the time being Mr. Popp will devote his entire time to the shoe repair business, but later on, possibly within the course, of the company, which owns a large tract of ^ext few months' he also plans to carry on a harness repair shop. For the time being he will continue to make his home at Johnsburg, where he purchased a place some months ago. He is anxious to dispose of his Johnsburg property and just as soon as he is able to do so he will move to this city. BIG CROWD AT FIREMEN'S DANCE WEDNESDAY Approximately three hundred tickets were sold at the firemen's dance as held under the auspices of the McHenry volunteer fire department at the Fox pavilion, near this city, last evening. The crowd, to quite a large extent, was made up of people from neighboring towns, Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Richmond, Genoa Junction, Wauconda, Terra Cotta, Volo, Johnsburg, Ringwood, Spring Grove and Solon Mills being among the towns represented. Jimmy's Society orchestra of Chicago furnished the music ing building, however,* as the State i for the occasion and an exceptionally ' • X. '•§ * bank officials have decided on the erection of a structure, which, when is to be the largest and of its kind in McHenry county. enjoyable evening was spent by the large crowd in attendance. According to Fire Chief Frett another dance will be held some time in August. All plans have been completed for tiie boat ride and dance to be given under the auspices and for the benefit of the McHenry Community club next Tuesday evening, June 26. Boats for the trip will leave the Hunter boat line pier at 6:30 and 7:00 for a trip up Fox river, thru Pistakee lake and thence to Pistakee Bay, where a dance will be held at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion. Never before has an occasion just like the one planned taken place and, judging from the favorable comment being expressed from all sides, the event will terminate into one of the most enjoyable ever. The event is this week being ad-t yertised in every paper of the county as well as the Wauconda Leader and with the various committees appointed to look alfter these towns it looks as if the occasion will be attended by many outsiders. It should be remembered that the occasion will not be an exclusive affair, as an invitation is extended to the public at large and everyone who wishes to joiii the crowd is welcome to do so. There will be plenty of entertainment for both young and old and from the time the boats leave the Mc Henry landing until their return there will be something doing every minute. The entertainment on board the boats will be provided by a radio concert, orchestra and band music and probably a quartet. Mr. W. L. Howell, last year's pres ident of the Community club, has kindly consented to rig up a radio re ceiving set on the deck of one of the boats and in this manner hopes to provide the passengers with anything and everything that is going on in the radio world. The Fox River Five orchestra will also provide music on one of the boats as well as for the dance at the pavilion, while the McHenry military band will play on the trip as well as render a band concert on the lawn at the* Pistakee club. Altho no meals will be served, there will be plenty of refreshments in the way of sandwiches, ice cream, cake and soft drinks for those whg will not have the time or do not care to partake of their evening meal at home. The entire net proceeds of the occasion will be set aside by the Community club as an advertising fund, which is to be used in placing Mc Henry and the Fox river and lakes territory before the public as one of the most ideal summer play grounds to be found anywhere. One ticket will admit one to both the boat ride and dance. The tickets are now on sale and are being sold at $1.00 each. They, together with the booster tags, were delivered to the •Secretary of the club, Peter M. Jus ten, the first of the week and since then have been distributed among those who will be in charga of the selling of same. It is the expressed hope of the officials of the McHenry Community club to make the evening a gala one for everyone and therefore every business man who can conveniently do so is kindly asked to close up for that night, join the crowd and enjoy the occasion with his neighbors.

GUS HARTLETT MANAGES OF ILLINOIS HOTEL Gus Hartlett,- at one time employed in 'this city, where he and his family made their home for a short period of time, is now acting as manager of the niiniois hotel at Fox Lake, conducted by A. Csaszer. Gus was ip town on Wednesday and called at this office, where he ordered some printing of a grand opening which is to take place at that popular hostelry next Saturday evening, June 23. There will be free dancing and a good time for all and Gus promises to give special attention to Us MeQeary friends on that occasion. McHenry friends of the couple were most^tgreeably surprised last week when it became known that Miss Bertha Wolff of this city and Charles G. Mertes of Chicago had been united in marriage. The ceremony took place at the Bethlehem church, corner of Diversey Blvd: and DiverSey Parkway, at 10:30 o'clock on- Tuesday morning of last week, June 12. R^v. Fruechte, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony, while Miss Martha Schlosser, a cousin of the bride, and Mr. George Walz attended the couple. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party was driven to the Drake hotel for a wedding breakfast. The couple left that same day for a short honeymoon trip to the Dells at Kilbourn, Wis. The bride of this happy union is the third daughter of Mrs. A. Wolff of this city, where she has always reside^ During the past several years she was employed at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company, where the past four years of^her services have been rendered in the capacity of chief operator. She is also a member of the Zion Evangelical church, the "Just Us" club and has always taken an active interest in the doings of the younger social set of this city. Her long and faithful service with the telephone company as well as her social activities have endeared her to a large circle of friends. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. J. Mertee of Pistakee Bay, where he was born and grew to manhood. For a number of years he was associated with his father at the Oak Park hotel, where, during the summer seasons, he managed the boat line as well as looking after other details connected with the business. He served his country during the late World war, having been unfortunate enough to be sent to far away Russia, where the boys put in some of the most disagreeable months ever passed in their lifetime. Some time ago he, with his brother, took a lease on the Elview garage, on Lawrence near Kimball avenue, Chicago, where he is noy located. He is a likeable young man who shares the acquaintance and esteem of countless friends. For the summer the bride expects to remain with her mother in this city, while the groom is expected home for week end stays. McHenry friends extend their choicest blessings and congratulations. POUSE IS CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE OF STATE'S ATTOR NEY I HARRIET FELLOWS WATTS PASSED AWAY JUNE IS ffarrfet Fellows Watts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Fellows, whose place, the Crystal Springs farm, is located southwest of this city, passed away at her late home at St. Charles last week Wednesday, June 13, after an extended illness. The deceased served her country as a Y. M. C. A. worker in this country as well as in France during the late World war and it was during this splendid service that her health became undermined. However, after an extended rest her condition seemed to have improved, until about three months ago, when she was again stricken. For several months she made her home with her parents on the farm here, but about a month ago was removed to the Colonial hospital at Geneva, 111., in the hope that the best of medical attention and care would restore her health. She is survived by her parents, three sisters and one brother. McHenry friends of the family extend to them their heartfelt sympathy in this, their saddest hour. - ? McHENRY GOLFERS TRt 7^" OUT NIPPERSINK LINKS EX-SERVICE MEN NAME HIM AT MEETING HERE ON TUESDAY EVENING Atty. Alford H. Pouse of this city will be a candidate for the office of state's attorney at next year's election. This decision was reached at a meeting of the McHenry county American Legion men, who gathered at Justen's hotel in this city on Tuesday evening and where a sumptuous chicken xlinner was enjoyed. Atty. D. R. Joslyn, Jr., of Woodstock was in charge of ' Tuesday night's meeting, at which there were gathered Legion men to the number of nearly fifty, and who represented nearly every post of the county. The local attorney's name has been mentioned in connection with the state's attorney office several times during the past several months, but up until Tuesday night's meeting the matter wasn't taken very seriously locally, altho many of his friends here have been heard to express themselves as' very favorable to a move of this sort on the part of a young man who is not only proving himself a progressive citizen, but an able lawyer as well. As previously stated, the "dough boys" gathered for the purpose of enjoying a good feed, to talk over the political situation and a boat ride up Fox river to Pistakee Bay. The ride up the river was/fnade in the Gladene, one of the big passenger boats as owned and operated by the Hunter boat line here. That the local attorney will have opposition is almost certain, his friends declare, but this isn't worrying them in the least as they figure the McHenry man's chances of victory are better than an even bet. Just who the other candidates will be is still a matter of conjecture at this time, but it would not surprise those who appear to keep in close touch of county political affairs to see the prsent incumbent, Atty. V. S. Lumley, a candidate for renomination and election: Altho there is still quite a stretch between now and primary day, it is not expected that there will be real political activity for several months to come. McHENRY TOURING CAMP BECOMING KNOWN PIONEER RESORTER IS DEAD NOAH H. PIKE DIED LAST FRI- - '^DA* AT CHBNOA, Sfany fri« Altho in existence but a short time, McHenry's tourists' camp, established by the McHenry Community club and located on the M. A. Conway tract a short distance southeast of the Fox river bridge, is gradually coming to be known by the auto traveling public. The week end saw quite a number of tourists quartered there, while scarcely a day passes that one or mere machines do not stop there for a rest and for the tourists to partake of their picnic lunches. The large sign board has been erected just over the entrance to the place and other equipment suitable for such a camp has been placed at the dis posal of those who wish to make use of same. Mr. Conway informs us that he has also been given the promise of a number of park seats, which are to be provided for the tourists who make use of the local camp. SUMMER-DANCES AT' NELL'S PAVILION any friends thruout this community and especially this summer resort district will be grieved to learn of the death of Noah H. Pike, which occurred quite suddenly at his late home at Chenoa, El., on Friday, June 15. Mr. Pike has been a regular summer residenj^at Pistakee Bay since 1872 and since 1885 has owned a summer home on the shore of that beautiful body of water. The first few years of his summer visits to this region were spent in a camp, while the distinction of having erected the first cottage at that point has been his. He also built a home on Fox rivel", now owned and occupied by Ben Stilling and fainily, where he and his wife resided for one year. Old time residents of Pistakee Bay and McHenry will remember him as one of the most highly respected and beloved men who has ever claimed this summer resort district as his play ground and his passing will bring back to the memory of those who knew him best many pleasant recollections of the days * that have long since passed by. He just loved the placid and refreshing waters of Pistakee and during the many seasons spent there he was generally among the first to arrive in the spring and the last to depart for his winter home at Chenoa in the fall. During his younger days and up to the time when his age prevented, he always took an active interest in the civic and social life of that popular resort. The building up of Pistakee is largely due to his efforts and marked influence and in all fairness he may be rightfully termed "the father of Pistakee." Mr. Pike was born at Casco, Me., on August 9, 1840, but since fourteen years of age has made his home in McLean county, Illinois. He was one of the most successful lumber merchants in central Illinois and at one time was national president of the Lumber Dealers' association. He was a high Mason and widely known as a prominent member of that fraternal organization. Surviving him is his wife and two adopted daughters, Helen Shelton Pike and Ruth Shelton Pike, who expect to arrive at their summer heme at Pistakee later in the season. The funeral took place at Chenoa, 111., on Monday of this week. McHenry, Fox river and Pistakee friends extend to the bereaved ones their sincere and heartfelt sympathy. 3AUHT GOETZ BUYS NEW SPEED BOAT Of INTEREST «S PICKED UP BY.
