JIQM E LIGHTING «)NTES|i * Announcement has just been made by the Better Home Lighting contest officials of the selection of the following prominent people in McHenry to act as judges in the contest which closes November 15; C. H. Duker, superintendent of schools, and R. F. Conway, manager of the western XInited Gas & Electric company According to present indications the judges are going to have a busy time selecting the winning essays from the thousands that have been turned in by eager essay writers. As originally planned, the contest was to close on October 31, but because of the increasing demand for Home Lighting Primers and registration cards by children eager to enter the contest and compete for the many valuable prizes, the clos-' ing date is changed to November 15. This gives an additional two weeks for contestants to complete their essays and primers. Mr. Ober, chairman of the local electric league, calls attention to the new time limit for the contest a|id advises thpt primers and registration cards will be given out by the local schools or by members of the electric leagae up to and including November 7. The Better Home Lighting contest, whose scope is nation-wide, has for its purpose the arousing of interest in conserving the eye sight of the nation's school children and in combatting what is known to be a great factor in undermining their general health--poor lighting and its attendant result in diseases that may be directly attributed to eye troubles. Prominent educators thruoyt the United States have <?iven their unqualified approval to this undertaking. Many valuable prizes are being offered local contestants by the North- IBANK If AS NEW HEAD DR. WELLS ELECTED PRESIDENT OFF.R. •. STATE BANKi or which he received $575.00.

Pearl Trow of Hebron, for the ninth time in his life, is nursing a writer is eligible and Jtas an equal chance to wjn a prize. In addition to these local prizes, the board of judges, after selectng local prize winners, will send the best essays to the national broken bone. This time it is a broken committee of judges, where they will leg. He has broken his right leg four times, his left leg three times and has had both of his arms broken. He has been laid up with broken bones ever since he was a small boy. The students of the Hebron high school have set out to swell the (school athletic association funds thru compete for the national prizes, a list of which has been printed in this paper before. Attention is again called to the fact that every school child ten years of age or over is automatically eligible to compete in the Better Home Lighting contest. No particular skill or knowla series of entertainments, the first of I edge is required to be successful in which is to be staged in that village on] this contest. Careful attention to the 7 Thursday and Friday nights, Nov. 6 and 7. The first entertainment will be in the form of a minstrel show. The. Lake county board of review, which completed its work last week, turned over its report, which shows the total full valuation of all property in the county to be $87,506,289, while the assessed value as fixed by the board is $43,802,415. The full value . is almost $2,000,000 higher than last year. Detrich Struben, aged eighty-two years, passed away at his late home at Round Lake while seated in a chair last Friday evening. The aged man had just eaten an evening meal and had gone over to sit in his favorite chair when he passed away. Heart trouble was given as the cause of his / death. Poultrymen and farjpers of Antioch met last week and organized the Antioch Poultry association. C. L. Kutil, agriculture teacher of the Antioch 4iigh school, was elected president. Plans are already being formulated for the holding of a. big poultry and egg show in that village some time this winter. Miss Justine Valse, who has won quite a prominent place among the movie stars at Hollywood, passed a few days recently as a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Murphy at Wauconda. In private life Miss Valse is Mrs. Allen Murphy, having married a son of Mr, and Mrs. D. H. Murphy of Wauconda. A Hebroi voter, who has always detailed instructions furnished with the primers is all that is needed. Let's make McHenry a one hundred per cent Better Home Lighting conest town and pull down our share of the national as well as local prizes. EAST SiDERS DEFEAT ' WEST ENDS M TO 4 For a week prior to last Sunday considerable argument had occurred among the fans of the city as to the supremacy of the East and West Side baseball talent, but the answer was given in a most decisive manner at the West Side baseball park last Sunday when the East Siders triumphed over their West Side rivals to the tune of 10 to 4. The winners scored two of their runs in the fourth inning, two in the fifth, four in the sevenths and ZftO ANNUAL FIREMEN'S DANCE! TO TAKE PLACE AT POLLY fJUM NEXT TUESDAY NIGHf The second annual ball, 'sponsored (by the members of the McHenry Fire department, will take place at the Polly Prim tavern next Tuesday evening, Nov. 11. The committees appointed to look after the various details in connection with the event have been'hard fct work during the past week and, judging from the encouragement that they are receiving, the dance next Tuesday night should prove one of the biggest of the kind ever undertaken here. The advance sale of tickets has already been inaugurated and, judging from the manner in which the pasteboards are being taken up, there is little doubt as to the feeling that exists towards the department locally. Tickets are not only being distributed in McHenry and vicinity, but a large number have also been taken to neighboring cities and towns. Frank Gans' Polly Prim orchestra has been engaged for the occasion and the patrons may rest assured that the music will be of the best. If you have not already been approached by a ticket selller, you probably will be between now and Tuesday night as the committee is out to dispose of no less than 1,000 tickets. Everyone in McHenry should be interested in the establishment of a firstclass fire department here and the least anyone can do is to purchase a Be a booster. WILLIAM SMITH AND RAY Mtc- GEE ADDED TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS At a meeting of the directors of the Fox River Valley State bank on Monday of this week a step towards greater progress was taken and as the result of^this meeting two "new members were added to the directorship, while Dr. David G. Wells was named president to succeed Win. Pries, who has faithfully carried out the duties of that important office ever since the reorganization of the bank nearly two years ago. The new board of directors, besides the president, Dr. Wells, includes Wm. Pries, N. H. Petesch, Wm. J. Welch; John F. 'Miller, E. R. McGee and Wm. Smith, the latter two named gentlemen having been added to the board at Monday's meeting. The bank, as everyone knows, has gone over some rocky roads during the regime of the Hoys, but since the organization and thru the untiring efforts of President Pries and his able board of directors it has made a very good recovery, until today the old regime has been entirely forgotten and the institution is once more on the road to prosperity. At the time of the reorganization of the institution, Mr. Pries cons e n t e d t o t a k e t h e p r e s i d e n c y o n l y . . . . , . , „ after a number of the more influential1 t,c.ket for the second annual bal1' stockholders and friends of the bank had insisted upon him taking over this important office, but it was understood at that time between those interested and Mr. Pries that he would be released of these responsibilities just as soon as conditions would warrant the change. wjnners 0f cups an(j medals at The time has now come when new the McHenry County club during the blood in the institution has made it <on of 1924 ^ be pre8ented with possible, to make the change and thus I ^ trophies won next Sunday morning. WILL PRESENT GOLF TROPHIES PRESIDENT WALSH TO PRESENT CUPS AND MEDALS REGISTERJK VOTE M'HENRY VOTERS AID REPUBU CAN VICTORY Dr. Wells steps in to take up the good work of his predecessor. One of the remarkable features about the reorganization is the faith that the public placed in the men who stepped into the breach and by their untiring and unselfish efforts saved the institution from total ruin. No one hut the men who manned the guns during this serious predicament know and probably will ever know the hard work that was necessary to bring about the pleasant situation which exists in the bank today. They are deserving of great credit. Dr. D. G. Wells, who thus assumes the presidency of the bank, is too well known in this community for further comment from us. He is of the progressive type and at the same time very conservative when is comes to matters appertaining to finance and banking. The public and patrons especially may rest assured that he will guard well the faith that is now or may in the future be placed in him This same thing may also be said of the men who make up the Sew board of directors. They are all good citizens whose characters are beyond reproach. <*« The officials extend a hearty invitation to the public of this community to make the Fox River Valley Sate bank their bank. They will always find the very best of service, courteous two in the ninth, Hubert Schoewer treatment and fair and*honest dealdid the pitching for the winners, while jngS( an 0f which are essential to Marcellus "Me yers rece:iv edJ 1h im.

Rossman started oftt well, but after the second inning was hit hard, the winners collecting a total of fourteen hits off his delivery. The contest created lots of fun for those who occupied choice seats.

HENRY fOSS LOSES ' - FINGERS OF HAND . :x---; Thru the accidental discharge of a shot gun this (Thursday) morning. Henry Foss, one of the proprietors of the Rosedale greenhouses, will lose all the fingers of his left hand. The vicMrs. John Young very delightfully tim of the unfortunate, accident, with entertained a group of friends at her borne at a linen .hower » shop, h.d huntm* on McCollumN According to arrangements the presentation of these trophies is to be made at the club house at eleven o'clock by Richard B. Walsrf, the popular and hustling president of the McHenry organization. The trophies to be presented and winners of «ach are as follows: President's cup, Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock; runner up, Walter F. j Vogt; Stenger cup, Earl L. Whiting; runner up, E. E. Bassett; class A medal, D. I. Granger, first; E. E. Bassett, second; class B medal, John Mc- Mahon, first; Louis Smith, second. It is hoped that there will be a large turnout at the club next Sunday morning. The members are especially urged to be present on this occasion, which will officially mark the closing of the 1924 season, altho playing over the course will continue just as long as weather and ground conditions will permit. The McHenry club is completing another very good season, which,Jte a. great measure, is due to the efforts of President Walsh, his members of the board of directors and the Active committees. RALLIES CREATED BUT VERY LITTLE INTEREST The two rallies, one a Progressive on Thursday evening and the other*a Democratic held on Saturday evening, failed to draw. The Thursday night meeting brought out the larger attendance of the two, altho there were less than 100 assembled on that occasion. This same condition has proven true everywhere in the smaller communities this fall and no one seems to be able to explain why the voters assumed this apparent indifferent attitude. In the old days, a rally, no matter which of the two parites sponsored same, used to fill local halls to overflowing, but it seems as if "them days are gone forever."

A 4fe in a stubble field on the Hanly estate farm, which for a time threatened to develope into a serious conflagration, was extinguished after a heroic fight on the part of volunteers and members of the McHenry fire department last Saturday morning. The fire was eating its way dangerously close to some of the buildings on the old homestead before the workeis finally got it under control. Chemicals, successfully applied by Fire Chief P. W. Frett, saved the buildings. HERE COOLIDOE CARRIED ALL THREE McHENRY PRECINCTS-- LaFOLLETTE IS STRONG IN THIRD The voters of McHenry township added their bit towards the, sweeping Republican victory as registered on Tuesday of this week. A total of 1134 votes were cast in. this township, which was somewhat largest than had been anticipated by some. Of this total 296 votes were cast in precinct No. 1, Ringwood; 398 in precinct No. 2, city hall, McHenry, and 440 in nrecinct No. 8, Colby buiiHing, Riverside Drive. As has been the case over since the addition of the third precinct in McHenry township, this section, altho giving the Republican ticket a slight edge, also gave LaFollette a big vote. As a matter of fact President Coolidge led the Progressive candidate by but two votes in the old town. That there were quite a number of LaFollette admirers and workers in the third cannot be denied as the Workers Came right out in the open during the campaign and used their influence in getting their friends to vote for the Wisconsin senator. A number of the LaFollette workers, on the other hand, were also boosting Norman L. Jones for governor. One of the outstanding features was the vote given Thos. E. Graham of Ingleside, Democratic candidate for the state legislature, he heading the entire list with a total of 893 votes. Again the third precinct brought about this fine showing for Mr. Graham, they giving him 550% votes. McHenry also gave its own candidate, Atty. Alford H. Pouse, who was on Tuesday elected state's attorney of McHenry county, a very splendid com plimentary vote. McHenry gave him 646 votes, which is indeed very fine considering that he was without opposition. Mr. Pouse, along with the other newly elected officials of the county, will take office next month. Weiss, Francis and Jackson Win In the Illinois state legislature fight, which occupied more than ordinary interest in the minds of the voters of this, the eighth district, all three Republican candidates were elected by handsome majorities. One of the especially interesting as well as surprising features of this race lies in the fact that Mr. Jackson of Boone, the smallest county in the district, was high man. Another interesting fact is that the low man of the Republicp. ns, Mr. Francis of Woodstock, received more votes than the Democratic and Progressive candidates combined. Road Issue Carries McHenry county gave the road bond issue an exceptionally favorable vote. It looks as if Illinois is destined to lead the world in good roads. ^ COLLECT $757.93 FOR SALVATION ARMY The Salvation Army drive is over and as the result of the efforts as ex> tended by the local chairman, Mrs. W. F. Vogt, and her committee of workers $157.93 has been turned over to this most worthy organisation. This is just a trifle better than last year, when $155.00 was collected for the purpose. Mrs. Vogt has always displayed a great interest in work of this nature and the splendid results obtained during the drive just completed speaks very well for her as an organizer as also for the corps of faithful workers «rho went out and put the drive over. The local chairman wishes, thru the columns of The Plain dealer, to express her sfneere thanks to the workers and also to the con tributors, without whose co-operation the drive could no have been made MRS. J. J. VASEY IS RECOVERING FROM STROKE FROM CHICAGO Mervin J. tfent has rented the Chris Blake house on Pearl and Green streets and has already moved his household goods to McHenry preparatory to making this city his future home. Mr. Kent, his friends will be sorry to learn, recently underwent an operation in a Chicago hospital, where he is still confined, but expects to be able to come to McHenry soon. Just as soon as he is able he will gq to work for his father-in-law, Jos. W. Freund, the West Side clothier. v Mrs. J. J. Vasey, who suffered a slight stroke of paralysis at her home here several wqek» ago and who, with her husband, is now making her home with their son at 818 Belleforte avenue, Chicago, is steadily improving according to word as received by McHenry friends this* week. She is slowly regaining the use of her left limb and arm and the members of the family feel very encouraged over the prospects of her recovery between now and next spring. Her many friends in McHenry will, no doubt, be very much pleased to learn of this good news, * McHENRY ICEMAN LEAVES FOR EUROPE Math. Bauer, local ice retailer, left this city on Tuesday of this week for New York, from whence he was scheduled to sail today {Thursday) for Germany, where he will visit his sisters and other relatives during the next few weeks. He will return home about the middle of January. Mr. Bauer was born ill Germany, leaving the old Fatherland at the age of nineteen. His business is now being cared for by George Steilen, Sr. GRAND OFFICERS' NIGHT HIGH OFFICIALS OF O. & 3. VISIT McHENRf • An event long to be remembered by McHenry chapter, No. 547, 0. E. S., took place in this city last Friday evening, at which time the local chapter entertained its worthy grand matron. Mrs. Nellie R. Meyers, of Chicago. Besides the worthy - grand matron, there were also present three grand officers, Dora >, Suelke, grand Ruth; Marie Kunzleman, grand Martha, and Anna Mueller, grand Electa. Also Mrs. Ida Bell Morgan of Albany Park, grand representative of Maryland, Mrs. Emma Ehledt of Chicago, a member of the Grand chapter committees, and three grand lecturers, fyirs. Jessie Dumser of Elgin, Emma Buell of Woodstock and Fannie Lillibridge of Harvard. All of the above named ladies were escorted and introduced, as were the worthy matrons and worthy patrons, past worthy matrons and past worthy patrons of the McHenry chapter and those of other chapters. Guests were present from Dundee, Harvard, Woodstock, Elgin, Algonquin, Crystal Lake and Richmond. A six o'clock dinner was served to about seventy members and guests at the M. E. church, the church having been prettily decorated for the occasion with Hallowe'en colors. Later initiation ceremonies were held at the O. E. S. hall, two candidates receiving the degrees of the order. During the evening Miss Lillian Schroeder of Woodstock contributed a number of very beautiful solo selections, which, to say the lea^t, were very much appreciated and enjoyed. Light refreshments were served at the close of the evening's work and entertainment ' McHENRY AND ANTIOCH MEET HERE SATURDAY Mm Next Saturday the community high school foot ball team will meet the Antioch highs on the local field. The McHenry highs thus far have not been given the support to which they are entitled. As a matter of fact, there isn't a high school foot ball team anywhere that has received as little assistance from local fans as has McHenry. This is not right and the condition should surely be corrected. This is the last game of the -season and we feel that the team is worthy of more encouragement and it is the hope of the officials and team members that the turnout next Saturday will be considerably larger than that of the past. The moral as well as financial support is needed in order to attain the best results and therefore we kindly ask, on behalf of the school faculty and team members, that you attend next Saturday's game and thereby give visible evidence that you are with the boys. Don't forget, it's Antioch next Saturday and what's more McHenry is going ofrt to win that old game. Help, help! HORSE KICK FRACTURES YOUNG LAD'S SKULL James, the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Larkin, who reside on the old John Gibbs place south of this city, suffered a fractured skull when he was kicked by a horse on Wednesday afternoon of this week. The lad was roaming about the yard while the father was engaged in a conversation with a neighbor. Strange as it may seem, neither the father nor the neighbor saw the accident and were unaware that anything had happened until attracted by the boy's cries. Besides a fractured skull, the lad also received lacerations about the forehead. Dr. N. J. Nye was called into attendance. While the boy's condition appeared improved this (Thursday) morning, it is impossible to tell at this time whether or not he will re- ITEMS OMNTEREST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WEEK WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IN THIS CITY AND IMMEDIATE VICINITY • Vaudeville and pictures at the Em- v ^ pire theatre Saturday and Sunday.
