Richardson has opened a lunch room in the Wheelock building at Grayslake. Included in he call for grand jury service in Walworth county this month are three Lake Geneva women. No reason why women should not make just as good "jurymen" as men. Fifteen federal prisoners are now confined in the McHenry county jail at Woodstock. If this number keepa. on increasing very "much it will soon become necessary to enlarge the county jail. A big carnival, staged at the Wauconda township high school one night recently, netted the school about $110. The total receipts of the evening were $192.10. It was one of the biggest and most successful events of the kind ever held in that village. R. R. Birdsall & Son of Racine were the low bidders for the paving gob between Lake Geneva and Williams Bay. Their bid was $94,500 or an average of $23,625 a mile. There were nine other bids submitted. It is expected that work on the job will start shortly. J. G. Stevens, Richmond merchant, heads a ticket of seven candidates which are to make a run foi municipar offices at the coming spring election. Richmond is gradually electing younger men as president and board members which evidences that improvements are wanted. The Wauconda transportation company, which operated a taxi service between that village and Barrington, is now making twenty-two trips weekly between these two points. The company is also planning on operating bus service between that village and Chicago, starting May 15. Louis Cernocky of Fox River Grove is having his restaurant building remodeled and enlarged and when the job is completed it will give him the entire lower floor for dining room purposes while the upper floor comprises living quarters. The entire exterior of the building is being brick veneered. At the next regular election, April 21, voters of Marengo will be called upon to express themselves for or against the issuance of bonds to the amount of $12,000. The bonds are .. designed to provide funds with which G^pRGE JUSTEN JOINS FATHER IN FURNITURE BUSINESS It is now Jacob Justen A Son, if yon please) The change whereby Jacob Justen, Veteran furniture dealer and undertaker, takes his son, George, into partnership in the business occurred yesterday, April 1, and henceforth the business will be conducted under the firm name of Jacob Justen & Son. Hie name of Jacob Justen has been associated with McHenry's business life for nearly forty-one years, during which time, thru square dealing, honest prices and good service, he has .made for himself a name which stands, out prominently among the leading men of his line of business thruout this entire section. _ * His first business venture in thi| city was in partnership with his brother, N. J. Justen. This partnership was dissolved about thirty years ago. Starting out with a small stock Mr. Justen, thru earnest endeavor, gradually saw the business grow unti! today it stands out as one of the most substantial houses to be found in any of the smaller towns of this locality. The junior member has been assisting his father during the past five years, during which time he successfully completed an embalming course, in one of Chicago's best schools. Since his graduation he has proven himself a real acquisition to the business as it placed him in a position whereby he could and did render the very best of assistance in all branches of the business, thus making it possible for the senior member to take things more easily. The business, under the firm name, will be conducted along the same accommodating lines as in the past. It will be their constant aim to keep their big stock up-to-date and at the same time give the public the very best of service at all times. The firm will carry advertising space in the columns of The Plaindealer, as |ias been the custom of the senior member over these many years. The junior member will bfc given full charge of the advertising end of the business and he has promised the public some good store news from time to time. It will be well for our readers to watch this space in the future. ST. MARY'S PASTOR RETURNS FROM SOUTH START PAVING SOON CONTRACT SIGNED AND BOND IS 'DEPOSITED actual-Work<on paving pro- JECT TO START IK COURSE OF TWO WEEKS The manner that the property owners along the streets which are to be improved by paving- the coming summer are co-operating with the members of the board of local improvements and city board, indicates that an early start on the paving jobs will be made possible. Since our last issue a number of sewerage connections along these thorofares. have been put in while work on others is going along at a very satisfactory rate of speed. This sort of spirit, needless to say, is very gratifying to the city officials and at the present rate of speed that these connections ace being put in it looks very much as if all of the underground work will be completed within the course of the next two or three weeks Mayor Wells informs us that the contracts between the city and Mc- Gucken & Van Der Heyden, successful bidders for the two paving jobs, have been signed up and that the bonds of the Milwaukee concern have been deposited. Some of the equipment of the Milwaukee concern has already arrived while more is on the way. The contractor is just as anxious to get started at McHenry as many of the citizens are to have him and taking it as a whole there should be some activity here within a very short time. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer boosters for more paving are now extending their efforts toward the improvement of Green street, starting from the intersection of Green and Elm streets to connect up with the Main street paving. A number of the property owners along this stretch, we are told, have already signified their willingness to have the paving put in there by signing a petition which asks that suc^ an improvement be made. Those favoring the improvement have not as yet completed their work but according to information at hand, they expect to have the petition ready to present to the city council and board of local improvements at an early date. The petition will not ask for a n#w bridge over Boone creek as they well know'and appreciate that the addition of a new bridge would make the proposed improvement prohibitive at this Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor of St Mary's Catholic church in this city, returned home from a two months' soto defray the expense of enlarging | journ at Pensacola and other points time.

Miller, local inventor and manufacturer of the Miller fly swatter, Miller Weedle$s hook, Miller pump pole fish line, is \4ry busily engaged in the manufacture of these articles these days and from present indications it looks as if this business will witness a very substantial growth this year. Mr. Miller, together with two girls, is kept very busy filling orders for fly swatters and fish hooks, and right now work is going along at top speed to make it possible to have ready for May 1st delivery of a' very fine order for the swatters. One of Mr. Miller's chief objects of worry these days is the lack of room. He started the manufacture of the fly swatters last year, setting up his equipment in his private garage at his home on Pearl street. The turning out of the swatters at the rate of more than a thousand a day has so cramped his limited quarters that he has already arrived at a stage whereby he must have more room. Just what he will do in this respect he has not as yet decided altho he has been giving the matter much thought and study of late. With a number of small orders on hand and the prospects for at least two more larger ones it will become necessary for htm to not only add to his space but to his equipment as well. A number of large buyers of both swatters and hooks have made inquiries of Mr. Miller of late and in view of the fact that some of the representatives of these concerns have called on him in person seems to indicate that- the McHenry man has at least two articles that is commanding the attention of the larger distributors. HAS READ PLAINDEALER FOR FORTY-FIVE YEARS HIGH HEREJONIGHT NOTED SPEAKER TO ADDRESS I HENRY AUDIENCE WILL SPEAK ON ORGANIZATION AT COMMUNITY CLUB MEETING TONIGHT -c up to April 14. The term of the contract is from May 1, 1925, to June 30, 1927, twelve round trips a week. AH bids must be accompanied by a $2,000 bond. A public meeting, sponsored by the Ku Klux Klan, was held at the Hebron town hall one evening recently. The hall was packed and it is said that numerous application cards for membership were handed in at the close of the meeting. Prior to the meeting a large, fiery cross was burned at the south entrance to the village. The Legion and firemen at Grayslake have united in a plan, which it is hoped will materialize in the construction of a hall which may be used jointly by the two bodies. The. Legion post already owns a lot and each of the organizations have a very substantial balance in their respective treasuries. Thus it looks as if such a program will be put over between now and next fall. Petitions are being circulated at Round Lake asking that certain streets be paved (in that village this summer. Two of her streets are already paved, thin work having been completed last fall and if the proposed paving program is carried out it will mean the paving of all streets there and will give the village the reputation of being the best paved town in Lake County. The citizens there are unusually progressive Miss Marie Whitford, fifth grade teacher at the Central School, Lake Geneva, has found a new way in bring ing truants to school. Two of her scholars were absent one day recently and following a tip given her by a friend, she left her school room in the charge of the music teacher while she engaged a taxi, rounded up the two pupils and brought them to school. The t§xi bill was charged to the parents of Hp> truants. They paid the bill. jFrank Barnes, 45, a federal prisier, passed away in the McHenry county jail at Woodstock about 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon of last week. Hie complaining of not feeling well to his fellow prisoners went to his bunk. .Shortly after he was heard to be breathing heavily. Deputy Sheriff Muldoon was notified, who, in turn his stay. The thermometer never registered below 70 all winter and ranged from that to 80 and past. Father Nix believes that the country around Pensacola will become as valuable as that of the Miami territory in time. A more ideal climate-could not be wished for nor could anyone expect to find finer scenery. McHenry people, especially his parishioners, were pleased to see-the popular pastor back. BUSINESS MEN FILL UP HOLES IN GREEN STREET Twenty or more of the business men of Green street, who are members of the newly organized Centerville Business Men's association, got out last Friday morning and with picks, shovels and wheel barrows succeeded in filling up the holes and otherwise improving the appearance of the business section of that end of town. The business men set about the work in a spirit tht^ was truly American. The club has a number of other ideas which it expects to follow out and which will stamp the organization as one of progressiveness. The club members are grateful for the provision of gravel which helped very materially last Friday morning. ALL OF WINDOWS ARE~NOW DONATED FOR ST. PATRICK'S ••jfi All of the windows for St. Patrick's Catholic church in this city have now been donated and will be installed within the course of the next few days. Up to last week all but three of the windows had been purchased ^nd since then, these ljave been donated by the following parishioners: Mr. and Mrs. Patrick J. Cleary, Mrs. Bridget Relihan and Mrs. Mary Carey. The addition of the windows adds very decisively to the beauties of the edifice. . ROSSMAN AND LOCKWOOD STILL LEAD IN DOUBLES boosting the project, they are anxious that the street-he paved its full width thru the business section of Green street and then taper down with the sidewalk as it leads to the bridge, after crossing the bridge the cement will again Widen to about thirty feet. The Wells Engineering company of Aurora, which made the surveys for the other two paving districts, is now at work on the proposed Green street improvement and expect to have their end of the work in such stiape as to present their findings and estimate to the board within a week. We hope to be able to give our readers something more definite regarding the proposed improvement of Green street in our next issue. MR. AND MRS. SPENCER ARE ^JRPRISED ON ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Spencer were victims of a very pleasant surprise tendered them by a number of relatives and friends at their home in the south end of this city last Sunday, the occasion being their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. The guests of the day were Mr. and Mrs. John Spencer and Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Groves of Edison Park; Mr. and Mrs. Brown of Ravens wood, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kirwan of Crystal Lake, Mrs. Maude Wheeler and daughter, Marjorie, of DesPlaines and Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Phalin and children of south of McHenry. The visitors arrived early and passed a most delightful day as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer. They were presented a very beautiful gift of sil* ver as a memento of this very pleasant occasion. BOY SCOUT DRIVE HAS , A SUCCESSFUL CLOSE J. H. Walton of Volo called at our office on Tuesday .morning of this week for the purpose of renewing his subscription to The Plaindealer for another year. Mr. Walton enjoys the unique distinction of having been subscriber to this paper continuously for a period of forty-five years. As an undisputable evidence to the fact thai he joined the family of Plaindealer readers many years ago, he was kind enough to leave with us a receipt that had been issued to him for payment of the Plaindealer nearly a half century ago. The receipt is dated Feb. 26, 1880, and credits Mr. Walton's subscription from Dec. 24, 1879 to Dec. 24, 1880. It was signed by J. Van Slyke & Son. There are probably others on our list who have been readers of The Plaindealer as long as Mr. Walton and there may be some who have joined the publication ever since its birth during the summer of 1876. If there are we would surely be pleased to hear from them. McHENRY HEADS STORM VICTIMS RADIO RELIEF CALL ; The McHenry Community ' club, which recently elected new officers an<? board of directors, has set out to make this organization one of the most active and wide-awake to be found anywhere and with this aim in mind President A. E. Nye will this evening, Thursday, April 2, have in McHenry a speaker who has accomplished great work in the organization field of this country. , Fred High is the man who will appear here this evening. The meeting, advertised as an open one and to which everyone is invited, will take place at the K. of C. hall and will start promptly at 8:00 o'clock. Fred High personifies the philosophy that is now set forth by many business clubs much after the form ot the Rotary Club in its motto: "He profits most who serves best." As an editor and investigator he has delved into the arts and sciences, investigated great business concerns, analyzed divi dends when, as the Kiwanians say. "We Build" on this law and this philosophy. Fred High is no mere theorist. He does not chase rainbows. Facts constitute the substance of his message --facts gathered from actual observation, demonstrated by personal experience, and vitalized by the deepest sympathy. After his graduation from college he went upon the platform for a number of seasons. He traveled over much of the United States and Canada. Then we find him in a newspaper office, working as manager of the Waynesburg, Pa., Daily Times. It was in the sanctorum of this newspaper that he was found when the call for national journalistic effort came. Then followed the eight years in his own office in Chicago, where he edited and. published his own marine, "Th. "von">*. AP£!L13 Platform," a forceful and purposeful publication. It was through this magazine and its championship of the sm a Uptowns and the rural community activity that much of the present MARDI GRAS EASTER MONDAY TO BE SPONSORED FOR BENEFIT OF BASEBALL TEAM TIm advertising matter for the big Mardi Gras, which is to take place at the Polly Prim Tavern, east of Fox river near this city, on Monday evening, April 13, has all gone out, the tickets are now being sold and everything points to a most successful and enjoyable affair.

Scarcely had the storm-tornado taken its toll in death or wiounded than radio launched itself on an errand of mercy. Spurred on by the task ahead, Geo. D. Hay, "the solemn old judge," and his loyal staff of WLS headed "Ford and Glenn," kept an all night vigil, and when they finally did "sign off" the following morning they had the satisfaction of knowing that they had bee» the means of raising more than eleven thousand dollars in eleven hours for relief work in the devastated area. Louis and Robert Stilling of McHenry were among those who were quick to answer the radio call for help broadcast from the Sears-Roebuck station in Chicago. almost unknown as a practical sociological and business factor. Besides publishing his magazine Fred High published a number Of books. "Prison Problems" went thru four editions, and although now out of print, is even yet used in a number of schools and colleges as a reference and text book on this subject. Fred High has been a pamphleteer of the old schools. In 1913 he joined forces with Montaville Flowers in a campaign to awaken the American public to the dangers of the Japanese immigration as an economic, social and international problem. A campaign of education was conducted from "The Platform" office, from which tens of thousands of little booklets, "Do Americans Know?" written by Mr. Flowers, were distributed through this country and Canada. This question at that time, owing to the organized and stupendous propaganda conducted by various selfish agencies, was so unpopular that in making this fight they jeopardized their reputations and business standing. Recent events and the action of Congress is an evidence of their foresight. Five decisions of the supreme court of the United States have since used in detail, often verbatim, the arguments used in that campaign by Montaville Flowers and Fred High. When the World War came on, Mr. High sold his magazine and took a position as a Department Editor of in the morning whgn a grass fire at Rosedale for a time threatened the buildings on the property. The stiff breeze had carried the flames to a thick hedge leading down the lane to the home of Mrs. Minnie Miller. Neighbors and volunteers who arrived on the scene ahead of the local department had the blaze well "under control by the time the local fire department arrived. At about 1:30 that same afternoon the department was called to a grass fire on the Potter farm, east of Fox river, about two miles south of LOCAL CAST TO APPEAR AT ANTIOCH SOON and Lockwood are still leading the doubles tournament now going on at the Smithy alleys on the West Side with a mark of 1243.

CITY POLITICS APPEAR QUIET ON THE SURFACE The Plaindealer is unable to say who the candidates for the various city offices will be at the coming election. However, there is no doubt in our mind, that local politicians have given the matter considerable study during the past week or more and in view o! __ . . the fact that the last day for filing The Billboard, the world's greatest i petiti0ns is next Monday night, it is amusement magazine, where he re-1 Qnly natUral to presume that petitions mained for nearly six years..
