They now receive salaries of $1,500 per year. A smooth stranger visited Burling- 'tMk, Wis., one day recently and got away after forging two checks on two banks in that city totaling $120. Emil Yde, star Freeport basket ball player, who last year played with the Belvidere Union club, has signed with the Beloit Fairies for the coming season. Two head of cattle, more than 100 chickens and several* calves were burned to death in a fire last Friday night that destroyed a large barn on the George Strzys farm north of Libertyville. Dr. Frederick Besley, nationally known surgeon and professor of surgery at the Northwestern University, has moved his offices from Chicago to Waukegan, his birth place and home for many years. ~ Mistaking carbolic add for moonshine whiskey, George J. Jacobs, a farm hand employed near Barrington, passed away last week Tuesday, death following only a short tine after he had taken the drink. The Tom Freeman farm of fortynine acres, which adjoins Barrington on tiie west, was sold last week for a consideration of $16,000 or nearly $327 an acre, thus establishing a* new record in farm land prices in that locality. No trace hy yet been found of the whereabouts pf Mrs. Hopkins; her daughter and John Dusold, who two weeks ago deserted John W. Hopkins, blind and aged husband and father of the household. The family resided at Marengo. • The Episcopal church at Elkhorn, Wis., received a bequest of $9,000 held in trust, $1,000 gift to t>e used for church work and $5,000 to the society of altar women in the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones who passed away in that city on Sept. 22. All of the shares of stock of the Marengo Specialty company has now been sold and the company is looking forward to increased prosperity. The concern, which has its factory at &a-* rengo, now gives employment to twenty- five people, mostly women. A public Ku Klux Klan meeting will take place at the town hall at Hebron to morrow (Friday) evening. A speaker of national reputation from Atlanta, Ga., will be present to tell those gathered what the Klan stands for, what they have done and what their program will be for the future. Itobbers entered the store of Woleben & Son at Marengo last Thursday night and got away with about $1,500 worth of suits and overcoats. Entrance to the store was made thru a rear window, which the intruders "jimmied." The thieves apparently made their get-away in an awaiting motor truck. An all home town basket ball team has been organised at Hebron and games are now being scheduled. Hebron has long since borne the reputation of being one of the best basket ball towns to be found anywhere and the news of the organization of a team for the coming season was received with great satisfaction by the fans of that community. The £ichmond-Burton Fair association, which successfully sponsored a two day fair at Richmond some weeks ago, will hold another show next year, which gives promise of surpassing this year's event. Officers elected for the year 1924 are as follows: Chas. Xruse, president; E. C. Austin, vice president; W. L. Payne, secretary, and R. R. Turner, treasurer. The Marengo Community club has already outlined its plans for winter entertainment. The monthly dinners will be continued as in the past and on each of these occasions an entertainer will be engaged. The club will also sponsor a series of' public dances. The organization is probably one of the most active of its kind to be found in any of the smaller communities of the state. Wm. Albold, who just recently returned from an extended visit in Ger* many, has purchased the L. H. Eisenmenger market at Crystal Lake, taking possession of the place last Thursday morning. Mr. Albokl was en- *gaged in the meat business in that city prior to his European trip. Mr. and Mrs. Eisenmenger are planning an extended motor trip thru the west before entering business again. Finding that the first estimate on the proposed ornamental lighting system at Crystal Lake was too low, the work of rocanvassing the citizens for pledges is now under way. The new plans call for the installation of thirty-four lights at a cost of $4,675 instead of twenty-seven lights to cost $3,915. Ground floor tenants along the* business sections are being asked to contribute $25 and those occupying OLD B6ARS OTIS RE ELECTION SIMM BONO ISSUE TO US DECIDED NOV. As predicted by. many, tlve "present city oflfcials will go into the coming special city election unopposed, the petition bearing* the names of Dr. D. G. Wells, as mayor; Peter J. Doherty, John R. Knox, Albert Krause, R. »I. Overton, Simon Stoffel and F. IJ. Wattles, as aldermen; Wm. G. Schreiner as city clerk and N. H. Petesch as city treasurer, having been filed with the city clerk the first of the week and, in view of the fact that the time allowance for the filing of petitions by candidates has passed, there will be no second ticket. , Thus the important issue at the coming election, which is to take place on Tuesday, Nov. 20, will be the bond issue in the sum of $14,000, one-half of which is proposed for the purchase of suitable fire fighting equipment and storage house for same, while the balance is to be used in the improvement of our streets. It is the expressed desire of the present city board to see this bond issue carry, their contention being that this would be the only manner in which the proposed improvement could be granted the citizens of McHenry at this time. They point to the fact that McHenry has never had a fire fighting equipment, to which we are entitled, and in order to give our citizens the protection enjoyed by other cities and towns, many of* which are considerably smaller than offi*, own, a completely equipped fire truck must be purchased. The board, also fully realising the importance of good roads and with a program which will give our city streets to compare favorably with those of other enterprising municipalities, they are also asking the voters to give this matter their earnest consideration between now and election day. Good roads has become the popular question of the present day. The traveling public is inclined to avoid, wherever possible, roads and streets that are not in keeping- ^rith modern progress. McHenry is located on the most direct route between Chicago and the lake districts of lower Wisconsin, and while many tourists have, no doubt, chosen other routes tn order to avoid passing over our miserable streets during the past summer, much of this business can be retrieved witif'the improvement of our streets. It is up to the voters 'to decide on Nov. *20 whether or not McHenry is to be given these improvements. Turn out and vote. Relative to the city form of government, it is understood that the present board will start out soon after the coming election to make preparations for the dividing of the city into three wards, thus getting everything set for the regular spring election, when an entire board will be elected under the city plan. The dividing of the city into wards is by no means a small undertaking, but is one which will require careful study and considerable work. However, the citizens of McHenry have confidence in the present administration to accomplish this work to the general satisfaction of everyone concerned. BOWLING ALLEYS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT USffUL UR ENDED CHARLES L. PAGE WAS ONE Of OUR BEST CITIZENS \ Smithy's bowling alleys osi the West Side are now under the management of Lester Bacon. The alleys will be open to the public every day and evening until 11:00 p. m. On Sundays from 1:00 to 11:00 p. m. Parties wishing to reserve the alleys are kindly asked to notify the management in advance so that provisions may be made to accommodate. A meeting for the purpose of organizing a bowling league for the coming season will take place at the alleys on Tuesday evening of next week, Nov. 13, at 6:15 o'clock. All bowlers interested in joining such a league will kindly attend the meeting. According to present indications there will be plenty of applications for membership in the league and it now looks as if the season's schedule should start at an early date. SLO KUM CLUB MET LAST FRIDAY km: The members of the Slo Kum clqb met at the home of Mr. ftnd Mrs. S. J. Frazer, east of the river, last Friday evening. Five hundred made up a most enjoyable evening, high honors of the occasion going to Mrs. J. A. Conrad and L. O. Martin, while Mrs. Henry Foss and H. C. Hughes bad to be content with the consolations. Delicious refreshments were served at the close of a very pleasant evening. FIRST METHODIST CHURCH The order of services at the First Methodist Episcopal church for Sunday, Nov. 11, are: Sunday school at 10:00 a. m. and preaching at 11:00 a. m. by the pastor, Rev. Roland C. Elzy. Subject, "Love's Transforming , Power." Epworth League at 6:45 p. m. All are invited to attend these WAS ACTIVE IN FARM ORGAN* ZATIONS, . 8CH001I LODGES AND CLUBS v ; Char'.a* L. Page, mention of whose unexpected death was made in these columns last week, the son of William and Jane (Harrison) Page, was born on what is known as the old homestead just across the road from the Ralston farm, his late home, on Jan. 15, 1865 He is one of a family of seven children, of which only one is left to survive, Mrs. Emma Fullington, who has made her home with her brother at intervals during the past several years. The deceased remained with his father until the latter removed to Chicago in 1890, when he took charge of the homestead, and when his father died inherited a portion of it* Later on he purchased the interests of the other heirs and continued to live there until about 1914, when he bought eighty-six acres across the road from J. C. Ralston. The buildings were already erected, but he remodeled them and made a number of other improvements. Since the original purchase of the Ralston farm he added more land, until today it contains approximately 291 acres. This, together with the old homestead, he operated up until the time of his death. He has also greatly improved the old farm during the past several years and today the two farms rank among the best to be found in Mc- Hdhry county." For nany years Mr. Page specialized' in dairying and always kept a fine high-grade herd of cattle, while his live stock in general always was of the best. For a number of years he also operated a threshing outfit. On Sept. 10, 1890, he was united in marriage to Julia H. Fryer, who passed away on May 10, 1901. To this union four children were born, one of whom, Roy W., passed away on May 8, 1908. He was again married on March 22, 1906, to Martha A. Rossman. To this union one child was born. Surviving the deceased are his grief stricken widow, three sons and one daughter, as follows: Charles R., Lester J. and Frank C., all of West McHenry, and Mrs. Letah M. Thomas of Elgin. Mr. Page was educated in the schools of McHenry and has always been a true friend of education, exemplifying a keen interest in our schools thruout his entire life. He honorably and most capably served as a member of the McHenry board of education, district No. 15, for a number of years. Thruout his entire life he was in farmers' associations, acting manager of the McHenry Creamery company for many years, and was filling that position at the time the factory closed, and at the time of his death vyas president of the McHenry County Farmers' Co-operative association, which now maintains mills and feed stores in a number of towns in McHenry county, including the West McHenry mill, which is the largest of the chain of enterprises conducted by the association. He was also an active member of McHenry lodge, No. 158, A. P. 4 A. M., of the McHenry chapter, No. 547, O. E. S., of Valley Camp, No. 96, M. W. A. and the Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A. Socially he was affiliated with a number of organizations of this community and at the time of his death was a member of the Merry-Go-Round club and the McHenry Country club and, while his various other connections kept him from visiting the golf grounds as much as he would have liked, we dare say that there wasn't a member of thai organization who got more real enjoyment out of the spott than did he. Politically he was a Republican and, while he never failed to exercise his rights at the polls at election time, he never sought office. In the home lie prevfed himself a kind and loving husband and fatter, of which his estimable family is a living example, while his many admiring traits of character stamped hW as an ideal neighbor rnd friend. As a fitting tribute to a man we have all held in the very highest esteem during the yeajs in which he has lived among us, the funeral, as held last Wednesday afternoon, was one of the largest in point of attendance held here in recent years, scores of relatives, lodge brothers and sisters and friends following the remains to Woodland cemetery, where they were tenderly laid at rest by his Masonic brothers, who wefe in charge. The heartfelt sympathy of the people of this entire section goes out to the bereaved family in the sad hours of their sorrow. All watches and clocks «• now tested and regulated before leaving our store. Nye's Jewelry 4 Music DIATH SADDENS HOLLY HOME THEIR SON, HAROLD, CALLED AFTER SHORT ILLNESS The JHends of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly were shocked and grieved when they learned Sunday morning of the sudden death of their little son, Harold, aged 4 years, 5 months and 24 days. The child had been suffering from a severe cold for a week, which had not been regarded as serious until Satur day. Saturday evening he suffered a relapse and passed away Sunday morning at one o'clock. Everything that loving care and medical science could do was done to save the little fellow, but to no avail. All who knew the sunny smile of the little fellow fully understand the great vacancy left in the home and the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community goes out to the grief stricken parents, brother, Warren, and the grandmother, who spent so much time in the baby's company. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at two o'clock from the residence, where a host of friends, had gathered to pay their last tribute of love. MARRIED AT WOODSTOCK LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON Mrs. Virl Cornish and Mr. Roy Smith, both of this city, were united in marriage by Judge Brown at Woodstock last Saturday afternoon, the witnesses being Mrs. Margaret Wallace of this city, a sister of the bride, and Miss Maude McDonald of Woodstock. They will make their home in the flat over the J. J.

The purpose of the meeting, as we understand it, is to get the public of this community united on one route and thus enable the McHenry delegation to appear before Governor Small at Woodstock tomorrow with but one proposition. Whether or not such an agreement can or will be reached at tonight's meeting we do not know, altho it appears to be the wish of many of the residents of this territory that such a happy result could be obtained and thus have the road matter, so far as route 20 is concerned, decided for all time to come. It was the opinion of some that Che recent election held on the road question would have a bearing upon the state's chief executive and the members of the department of public works and buildings, but in view of the fact that route 19 in the vicinity of Crystal Lake and ote own route are up for a hearing it leolcs as if the officials were not quite willing to be guided by that vote.

McHenry friends of the family extend to the bereaved ones their sincere and heartfelt sympathy. OLD FOLKS' DANCE At RING WOOD FRIDAY The first old folks' dapce of the season at Smith's hall, Ringwood, will take place on Friday evening of this week, Nov. 9, and those who attended the dances last year need not be told of the enjoyable time which awaits them on the coming occasion. The program of the evening will consist of waltzes, two-steps, quadrilles, etc., just the sort of an evening that the older folks can and will enjoy. The Fox River Five of this city will provide the music. Dance tickets, $1.00; war tax, 10c; total, $1.10. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend. •<£? -- ST. MARTS COURT TO HOLD DANCE Hie members of St. Mary's court, No. 694, C. O. F., of this city will sponsor a social dance to be held at the American Legion hall on Monday evening, Nov. 19. The committee named to look after the details of the coming event have set out to make it a most pleasant one for those who sttend. The Fox River Five have* been engaged to provide the mustc for the occasion. Dance tickets, 90 cents, war tax, 10c; total, $1.00. A cordial invitation li extended to everyone to attend.' . ^ McHENRY TEACHERS ATTEND AURORA MEETING speakers to make such representations as their delegates may wish and that the speakers confine their remarks to the particular route which they repreent. The time of each speaker will be limited to fifteen minutes. It is also expected that the governor will deliver a talk on the road situation and this every good road booster will want to hear. As stated at the beginning of this article, McHenry should unite on one route, present it at the hearing and then abide by the final decision of the officials. According to rumor, it is As plan of the state department to get matters in shape soon after Friday's meeting for an early bidding on these two routes and if this comes true the people of this community may expect to witness the completion of route 20 from Volo to Woodstock before the close of another year. Everyone who can possibly arrange to do so should attend the hearing at Woodstock tomorrow. McHenry should sand a big delegation. Let's go. ANOTHER SHOE REPAIR SHOP FOR McHENRY Hie grade and community high schools were closed last Friday in order to allow the teachers to attend the annual meeting of the Illinois Teachers' association, northern section, held at Aurora on that day. The program was one of the best ever prepared for a like meet and needless to say that the session proved one of lose in attendance. McHenry is to have another shoe repair shop and will be opened by A. Gritzmacher in his building on Elm street acquired some time ago from Mr. arid Mrs. John J. Barbian. The very latest machinery for the ing on of *an up-to-date shoe repair shop is this week being installed and it is Mr. Gritzmacher's hope to have everything hooked up for the opening of his place next Monday morning. The equipment is all electrically driven and of the labor-saving type. The proprietor has been engaged in this line of work in Chicago for many years and comes to McHenry very highly recommended as a workman, the rooms in the rear of the shop are now being remodeled and fitted up with modern improvements and will be occupied by Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bickler, who now occupy the Waite cottage on Green street which has been purchased by John Schaid. ^ It is our understanding that Mr. Schaid expects to move his family to this city from one of the Geo. J. " in the near future. FREMONT JROT FIRST ^ TO STAND TRIAL McHENRY TOWNSHIP ASKED ifc RAISE $M QUOTA The Salvation Army once a year asks the people of this community for aid in the work the army is doing in the way of alleviating the suffering of humanity. Once more they are appealing for funds. The money collected du^tag Ala annual di;ive is used in the charity work of the army alone. Last year over 5,000 unwed girl mothers were cared for in the rescue homes, 78,000 homeless children found a home with the army, while 10,000 men, who had beei* behind prison bars, were assisted in finding jobs, for the Salvation Army believes that old "Bill Work" can do more for a man than any other power outside of that of Christ. These branches as well as inebriate homes, hospitals, "down but not outers," hotels and the general relief work are included in the charity work for which this money is being raised This is the army's work, but without funds it would soon stop. The public must help in order that they may continue their good work. They call on us just once each year and if you are disposed to assist these good workers the opportunity is now at hand to tender your mite. The drive for funds in McHenry township will start next Monday morning and continue for a week, ending Monday evening, "Nov. 19. Mrs. Walter F. Vogt, who so successfully conducted the drive last year in the capacity of chairman, has again consented to do this work and is now organizing her workers in anticipation of the campaign which starts next Monday morning. All of last year's workers will again be called upon by the local chairmen to assist in soliciting and collecting: McHenry's quota, which has been placed at $200, and these good women anticipate very little trouble in their endeavor to "go over the top." The work that the Salvation' Army is doing was never more fully appreciated than in the last few years, especially since the World war, where their true value to humanity was brought to the attention and admiration of thousands of young men who served their countries during those bloody days. The McHenry workers are not telling the people of this community what is expected of each individual, but will leave it for them to decide. It should be remembered that every quarter, half dollar or dollar contributed toward this cause will bring happiness to some poor, unfortunate man, woman or child, and as true Christians it should be a real privilege for us to lend our charitable hearts towards such a cause. Dont forget, the drive starts next Monday morning and whether or not you are able to assist, treat the workers cordially and thus help make their task the easier. It should always be remembered that workers on any sort of a drive are gladly giving their time and energy and the least they should expect from the public in general is a kindly greeting. , The workers fully realise and appreciate that not all can give, Bome can give but little, but to those who have been generously rewarded with the goods of this world a donation in accordance with their means is to be expected. Help the army, be kind to the workers and rest assured that your acts of charity will toM day be richly rewarded. NO MORE CEMENT WORK THIS FALL ITEMS ONNTERESI AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WEEK ?Y4 m So far as concerns the east section of route 20, now under construction between this city and Volo, there will be no mere cement construction this fall, all of the men employed on the cement gang having been laid off for the winter. The grading gang, however, will be kept on the job as long as weather conditions will permit and with good luck most of this end of the work should havs been completed by the time that work is halted. It is the hope of the contractor to resume cement activities early next spring, but judging from past experience it will probably be quite late before the roads will be in condition to allow the heavily loaded trucks to pass over them.
