Smith, took office on Dec. 6,1920. Michael L.

A group of Chicago business men tiave purchased of Delos Clow a fiftyfive acre tract on the north side of Crystal lake, which they propose to Subdivide for summer home sites. The new subdivision is to be known as the North Crystal Lake beach and lots are to be sold subject to building restrictions. Bids for a proposed new bridge to be constructed over Squaw creek in Fremont township, Lake county, were opened at Waukegan last Saturday. The low bid, submitted by A. T. Root -of Waukegan, was $4,430. While the contract was not let at the time of the - opening of the bids, it is quite likely that the work will go to the Waukegan man. Officials of the St, Paul railroad recently visited Grayslake in an endeavor to get the business men of that Village to use their road for shipping the coming winter. Last winter, on account of slow business, the road was forced to close their station and if the business men will give \he St. Paul at least a portion of their business such a step will not become necessary the coming winter. The Chicago, North Shore A Milwaukee Railroad company has just secured the right-of-way which eventually will allow them to operate their (trains along the entire lake shore of Lake county. According to the records, the new right-of-way is sufficiently wide to allow a double track service to connect up with the Cook county extensions. As needs demand the line will be extended into Wisconsin. The erection of fifty-eight new homes, together with the remodeling of old structures, has provided living quarters for seventy-three new families at Barrington during the past summer. Barrington has been showing a steady and substantial growth uring the past few years and with its Excellent train service and good roads is destined to become another of Chicago's thriving suburban towns within the course of the next few years. The Express Body corporation of Crystal Lake, which recently embarked in the radio cabinet building business, has received many orders of late as the result of a display of their wares at a recent show held in New York city. The Crystal Lake made cabinets are also to be shown at radio shows at Baltimore, Boston, Chicago and other points and officials of the company predict that their Crystal Lake factory will be operating at capacity very shortly. The contract for paving distrcit No. 2 at Crystal Lake was last week awarded by the Crystal Lake board of iocal improvements to the McCarthy Improvement company of Davenport, la., this company's bid having been $277,526.26. Objectors to the paving improvement, thru their attorneys, made application in the McHenry county circuit court for a temporary injunction restraining the board from awarding the contract, but their prayers were denied by Judge Shurtleff. F. H. Bartlett, Chicago real estate promoter, has become the owner of the entire village of Wilson, west of Waukegan, on route 20. It is estimated that it took between $600,000 and $700,000 to complete the deal. It is understood that 60 acres have been purchased outright, while a short option has been taken on 843 acres more. Twenty-one Lake county land owners came in on the deal. Bartlett only recently completed the marketing of the big Dady tract near Waukegan and the supposition is that the new acquirement will soon be thrown upon RELATIVES COME FROM FAR I*? V - TO ASSIST "GRANDMA" SMITH CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY The occasion was also the thirtysecond wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Owen of Gushing, Okla., both of whom with their son, Charles, were present. The event, so rarely enjoyed, was held at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Robert Thompson, on Main street. The home was most invitingly decorated for the happy occasion with autumn lowers and sumac. Relatives from a long distance away were in this city last Sunday to be present at the eighty-fifth birthday anniversary of one of McHenry's oldest citizens, Mrs. Alsena Smith, who on that day celebrated the eighty-fifth anniversary of her birth and also the sixty-sixth anniversary of her wedding. Among those who made up the gathering were the guest of honor's only two living daughters and one sister, Mrs. L. H. Owen of Cushing, Okla., Mrs. S. S. Chapell of Chicago and Mrs. Georgia Clemens, who resides southwest of this city. Others present were L. H. Owen and son, Charles, of Cushing, Okla., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Severin and daughter, Marion, and Miss Marion Chapell of Chicago; Mrs. Ada Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Granger Smith and son. Gage, Mr. and Mrs. George Smith of Elgin; Miss Villa Smith of Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Asahel Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Van Slyke of Waukegan; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Alexander of Hebron; Miss Nell Clemens, Ralph and'Clarence Clemens, Miss Maude Granger and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson of McHenry. Several friends also called during the afternoon to extend their congratulations. Among these were Mr. and Mrs. George Owen and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Getzelman of Elgin and Mrs. Chas. Chapell of Okmulgee, Okla. Grandma Smith received many appreciative gifts and reminders during the day in the way of roses, candy, nuts, birthday greeting cards, telegrams and long distance telephone calls and an immense angel food cake presented by Miss Adeline Perkins of this city. The occasion has already been written into the family annals as one of the most pleasant ever enjoyed by Grandma Smith and her descendants. BAND T0JIVE_C0NCERT SELECT FIRST WEDNESDAY IN DECEMBER AS DATE The members of the McHenry? band, who have provided us with such meritorious open air concerts during the summer season of 1924, have decided to give an indoor concert at the Empire theatre on the first Wednesday evening in December. Preliminary work has already been started and the committee in charge is now rounding up home as well as Chicago talent who will assist the band in putting on a program that will compare very favorably and probably even surpass the one as rendered at the Empire two years ago. The advertising corr mittee has already started on quite an extensive advertising folder to be gotten out in connection with the concert and it is very likely that canvassers will start out in soliciting advertisements from local business men in the very near future. In getting an early start the committee feels more satisfactory results may be expected and from now until the date of the concert the various committees will be kept quite comfortably busy. Rehearsals for the concert are to start immediately and the music lovers of this section may rest assured that the band men will prepare an entertainment that will prove a distinct credit to the local organization. Further details, as they develop, will be published in the columns of The Plaindealer. Watch for them. 1.NED ELGIN AND CHICAGO FRIENDS Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zenk entertained company of Elgin and Chicago INTERESTED IN HOME 56 YOUNG PEOPLE JOJN BETTER HOME LIGHTING CONTESTM'HENRY COUNTRY CLUB JS NOW MEMBER OF GREEN SECTION OF U. S. GOLF ASSN. FIRST PRIZE TO BE A $15,000 MODEL ELECTRIC HOME, MANY OTHER PRIZES Residents of McHenry need not be alarmed if they happen to notice *ny school boy or girl over ten years of age studying some vacant lot with the mtentness of a grown-up. He or she, as the case may be, will be merely choosing the site for the $15,000 model electric home which is being offered as the first international prize in the Better Home Lighting contest. As announced recently, thousands of school pupils have been enrolled in every state and in Canada. The international prizes, ranging from the electric home to scholarships in the best colleges and universities, can only be won by winners of the competition in the local and district contests. There are prizes for these latter also--a district prize of a radio set for a boy and a girl and watches and pens for local and school awards. Fifty pupils in the schools of McHenry have been registered to take part in the contest. They will be required to write an essay on how their homes should be changed to have proper lighting. Local entrants believe that they have excellent chances of standing high in the district competition. All are forking with the hope of winning^ one of the district prizes and of being eligible fpr the international contest. Registrations are still being accepted by the local electrical league which is conducting the local campaign for the national lighting educational committee. The rules of the contest are very simple and no unusual skill or intelligence is needed to enter the contest In fact, it is very likely that the grand and other prizes which are offered will The fans of this section are prombe won by someone who at the present j ised a real card at the McHenry base It will probably be news to most of the members of the McHenry Country club to know that their organization is now a member of the Green Section of the U.\ S. Golf association, the acknowledgment of membership having been receivedlsy President Richard B. Walsh a short time ago. The step in which the local club becomes affiliated with the Washington, D. C., organization means a great deal to McHenry's club and its members. The benefits to be derived are numerous. Bulletins conveying all the very latest in the way of greens keeping and the up-keep of golf grounds will be at the club's disposal at all times, awhile other services which will prove of great benefit to the local organization and its members will also be received regularly. President Richard B. Walsh has spent a great deal of time during the past several weeks in visiting clubs in many towns and cities and in so doing has gained knowledge that has already made itself felt on the McHenry course, especially the greens. The greens on the McHenry course only recently were reseeded with German Creeping Bent, a seed which has come to be recognized as the very best to be had for the purpose. This will insure the members of better greens than ever before and as a natural consequence will prove a big aid to their game. Mr. Walsh fully realizes that the past season has not been very favorable to good golf. Too much rain and wet grounds have proven more or less of a drew-back, altho it may be trutlrfully said that the McHenry club enjoyed a very satisfactory ,season. MRS. WELLS CALLED ANSWERED SUMMONS SUNDAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS McHENRY TEAM TO MEET ELGIN HERE SUNDAY time has no knowledge of lighting. First the contestant must take his primer and study carefully the lessons contained in it. Next he visits the homes of two of his neighbors and looks at the way in which their houses are lighted. In his primer is a table which lists all kinds of lighting fixtures and gives them numbers. All he has to do for this part of the contest is to write down in the table the kind of fixtures that are in two of his friends' homes. He is asked to do this to make him observant of lighting methods so that he will be able to do the next two things better. On two pages in the primer are a number of lighting fixtures which are models of good lighting. On other pages are pictures of rooms of a home. There is a living room, p dining room, a sun parlor, a kitchen, etc. After j The visitors will bring ball park next Sunday afternoon when the Elgin team will be entertained on the home lot. These two teams met at Elgin on August 31, at which time the Watch makers won out by a count of 14 to 3. Owing to the fact that the home club was booked with Algonquin for the following day, Labor day, the local management saw fit to hold Davison for the holiday game and for BODY TAKEN TO OAK WOODS CEMETERY, CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY FOR BURIAL Mrs. David G. Wells, for twenty-six years one of McHenry's most highly respected and dearly loved residents, passed away at the family home in this city about eleven o'clock last Sunday morning following an illness of more than five years in duration. Her death, altho not unexpected, cast a sorrowful gloom not only within the family circle, but thruout the city and community as well. The deceased first showed signs of impaired health five years ago last June, about which time she was taken to a Chicago hospital in the hope that an operation would heal her pain and eventually restore the good health that she had always enjoyed up to that time. After spending some time in the hospital she was removed to the home of her sister, Mrs. Emma L. Hamil in Chicago, with whom she remained for several months. Under the treatments which only the best of medical science and skill were able to bestow, together with the loving care as administered by her sister, the patient improved, until there came a day when she was able to Come back to her home in this city. Upon her return to McHenry she appeared to gain quite rapidly and just when it looked as if she was on the road to complete recovery her condition again took a change and, altho there were times that she appeared quite well, intermittent severe attacks of he; trouble slowly undermined her strength until last Sunday, when she passed peacefully to the other shore. During these long years of pain and sickness she was given the best of care by her sister, Mrs. Emma Hamil, who has been with her almost constantly during all this time. The true love of a sister could never be more beautifully exemplified. Kitty L. Ryan was born at Dunkirk, N, Y., on Aug. 4, 1879, but spent her girlhood in Chicago, to which city her parents and family had moved when she was quite young. On June 8, 1898, in the city of Chicago she was united in marriage to Dr. D. G. Wells and in the fall of that that reason he didn't get a chance at year she, with her husband, came to Elgin. With Davison on the hill for' take up her abode in McHenry, which McHenry things should take on an en- place die has since called her home. ALTON PACKARD, CARTOONIST FIRST NUMBER OF LYCEUM AT ST. PATRICK'S HALL OCT. 14 Alton Packard, master cartoonist, illustrates his humorous lectures by drawing enormous cartoons in the presence of his audience. He carries with him an immense easel with a large quantity of paper and a variety of crayons. Mr. Packard's splendid evening of entertainment includes not only the cartoons, but also original songs, the accompaniment of which Mr. Packard furnishes on the piano. One of hi^ greatest song successes is "When You Get What You Want You Don't Want It." During his career as a cartoonist, Mr. Packard has covered practically the entire United States. He has been recalled a number of times to such ITEMS OF NO. 19 tirely different aspect next Sunday afternoon.

He will be judged by how neatly and accurately he does this. The next and last thing that is necessary for him to do is to write an essay not over 600 words in length, telling how his own home should be relighted to conform with the rules of proper lighting that he has learned in his lessons. When he has finished all of this he hands the primer and the essay to the judges in his home town or city. These judges are the prominent people of the town, who are qualified to judge the work. In each town or city a number of local prizes will be given to the best efforts and then the winners of the local contest will be entrants in the international contest, the first prize of which is this beautiful home. The local winning essays and primers will be sent to New York, where the international judges will decide on the winners of the home and the ten university scholarships.

Never losing an opportunity to portray this affectionate love towards the unfortunate, she was ever on the alert to seek out those who needed her assistance in the way of alms given. Many are those of our young people and some who have now grown up to men and women who have shared her loving kindness. She loved the young people and probably some of the most enjoyable hours of her life were spent in company with them.
