Supervisor Fred Kirschner of Cuba township was taken to the Lake County General hospital at Waukegan last Thursday and on Saturday underwent an operation for the amputation of his left leg.

Because of the number of objectors the bid of the Lambert Construction Company on approximately seven miles of paving at Waukegan was rejected by the board of local improve ments of that city last week.

The better homes in America movement was initiated in 1922 by Mrs. Wm. Brown Meloney and an advisory council of which President Coolidge was honorary head and Herbert Hoover was chairman. President Coolidge indorsed this movement in the following statement: "The American home is the foundation of our national and individual well being. Ita steady improvement is, at the same time, a test of our civilization and of our ideals. The better homes in America movement provides a channel through which men and women in each community can encourage the building, ornamenting and the owning of private homes by the people at large. We need attractive, worthy, permanent homes that lighten the burlien of housekeeping. We need homes in which home life can reach its finest levels, and in which can be reared happy children and upright citizens." America is a home loving nation and the home is the center of the universe. Yet the average American home is not suitable for the physical and the mental welfare of the average American family. The ideals of family life should be elevated. Possibly our attention has been attracted to other social spheres for centers of interests which may be due to the crowded life of today. Right kind of homefe and home life develop character with the right ideals. The home should be the center of all life's activities. May every man, woman and child take part in this movement by making some phase of home life more sanitary, more comfortable, and more attractive. If no money can be expended for decorations or new furnishings, at least the home can be improved by beautifying the ground or repairing and cleaning up any neglected spot. Any little improvement will promote and strengthen wholesome, normal, family life. It is said that the future history of America will be shaped in large measure by the character of its homes. If we continue to be a home-loving people, we shall have the strength that comes only from a wholesome family life. This means that our homes must be convenient, comfortable, attractive. EJECTMENT PROCEEDINGS STARTED AGAINST O. F. SOHM MARR1ED25 YEARS MR. AND MRS. M. J. WALSH OBSERVE SILVER WEDDING Deputy Sheriff L. I. Edinger of Woodstock was in this city on Tuesday evening of this week at which time he served 0. F. Sohm, owner of a beautiful country home on the east banks of the River near this city, with notice that ejectment proceedings had been instituted against him in the McHenry county court for the removal of obstructions on the proposed route 20. Plaindealer readers are already quite familiar with this controversy which had been holding the attention of our citizens for more than a year. Thus far the McHenry county board of supervisors has not been able to turn over to the state a right-of-way over which route 20 will eventually pass thru this city. Last year condemnation proceedings were started and the case carried to the Illinois Supreme court which body ruled that the wrong procedure had been taken in the county's effort to secure the rightof- way. 'Thus the action of the committee representing the McHenry county board in starting the ejectment suit. The hearing is scheduled to take place during the May term of court. REGULAR GREEN OPEN NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 3 The members of the McHenry Country club will, no doubt, be very much interested and pleased to learn that the greens will be open for play for the first time of the season next Sunday May 8. Albert Purvey, caretaker of the course, and his assistants have been doing some very splendid work this spring which is certain to prove very pleasing aspect to those who have not visited the grounds this year. The golf grounds are becoming better with each year and the members and guests who make use of them this year will find the course very much improved over a year ago. The officers of the club are out to make the McHenry course one of the finest in this, the Chicago district, and they will never be satisfied until their aims have been brought to a full realisation. The club already ranks very high among those in the country districts of this section. CHAS. DURKEE LEAVE8 COAST Charles Durkee, who for many years wnmA» his home on his farm southwest of city and who, since the death of his wife, has made his home at Glenview, on the Lake Shore, has passed the winter at Long Beach, Calif. He also spent a short time with his cousin, Harry Sheldon, at Tulare, Calif. Mr. Durkee comments very favorably upon California's climate, fruits, flowers and highways. His stay on the coast was an exceptionally enjoyable one. FRIENDS ASSIST THEM IN MAKING ANNIVERSARY A MOST ENJOYABLE OCCASION At high noon on Wednesday, April 25, 1900, Michael J. Walsh and Miss Joanna Doherty stood at the foot of the altar at the old St- Patrick's church in this city where they were pronounced as man and wife by the late Rev. P. M. O'Neill, at that time pastor of St. Patrick's. Last Saturday marked the twentyfifth anniversary of this very happy event and in a manner of properly observipg the occasion the esteepied couple entertained a large company of friends at their home on Waukegan street The celebration of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary had its beginning at St. Patrick's church in the morning where an anniversary mass was read by the pastor, Rev. M. J. Mc- Evoy. The couple was driveii to their home which had been beautifully and appropriately decorated for the occasion and to say the least presented a spectacle that was most pleasing to the eye. At the doorway Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Kinney of Chicago received the guests and the celebrants received and most graciously accepted the congratulations of the guests. The bride wore a gray silk crepe and chiffon gown and the groom a gray tailored suit. Shortly after the last of the guests had arrived #all sat down to a five course wedding breakfast, served at three attractively arranged and prettily decorated dining tables. Calendula and belladonna bouquets were used for center pieces while two-tone lavender and silver was used in the color scheme. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, in response for a toast, seemed to express the sentiments of those gathered thru a congratulatory message delivered in his usual pleasing manner. His warmest and most sincere congratulations were extended to the couple on their arrival at the silver milestone of their wedded happiness and before closing expressed the hope that virtue and peace would crown their golden milestone. Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor of St. Mary's church, added a few cheerful remarks during which he likened the sunshine without with the sunshine of life which evidently had brightened this particular home over a span of twenty-five years. Rev. John Hackett, assistant pastor at St. Patrick's church, was the orator of the day, delivering a very fine talk on matrimony as a sacrament, its responsibilities and the necessity of maintaining a firm stand upon fundamental religious principles in the home. C. W. Stenger, the popular president of the West McHenry /3tate Bank, and who has recently added greatly to his popularity as a composer of lyrics, favored the crowd with a new "How Do You Do" song. The number made a distinct hit with the happy crowd. Mrs. A. E. Nye prepared for the occasion the following lines: A second wedding. Pray good friends, How's this? Is not the silver chain that binds just is tight As five and twenty years ago ? You bring us here no broken chain. Asking our aid to weld the links again. Not even one loose rivet needs our care. So slight has been the strain, O peaceful pair. Perhaps a little polish, so many years abated, Our aid we give today and make it silver plated. The chain shall shi^e with lustre fine And radiance extend till silver bright Bathe guests and happy couple with delight. Mr. and Mrs. Walsh were the recipients of a number of beautiful silver pieces, gifts expressive of the high esteem in which the couple are held. The celebrants of this occasion have always made McHenry and the imme diate territory their home and ever since their marriage have resided in this city where Mr. Walsh has successfully carried on a merchantile business for more than a quarter of a century The union has been blessed with seven children, all of whom are at hom£ and were present last Saturday to assist their parents and their friends in making the occasion an event which has since been written into the family history as one of the most pleasurable ever enjoyed. The Plaindealer, too, ana scores of other friends we are sure will join in extending to these two esteemed citizens our most sincere congratulations.

WAUKBGAN OPTOMETRIST TO MOVE TO THIS CITY Dr. Henry Freund, Waukegan optometrist, has rented the store room between the Brda hardware store and Carey Electric shop on Green street and will conduct at that location an office. Dr. Freund has been in the optical business for a period of twenty years. For three years he was with Marshall Field & Company in Chicago, five years wjth the U. S. Mercantile company, also of Chicago, and since 1913 he has been located at Waukegan where he has acted as optometrist for the American Steel A Wire company. The doctor expects to move his family to this city some time in the near future, but up until that time his McHenry office will be open only during the evening hours except Wednesday when he has arranged to be here all day. He is planning on putting in a stock of optical goods and the place will be left in charge of his wife during the day. Our understanding is that he will continue his Waukegan office, altho his home will be in McHenry. Read his advertisement which appears elsewhere in today's issue. STAR TOURING CAR IS , STOLEN HERE WEDNESDAY GOESTOSOUTHBEND R. B. WALSH HAS BANK POSITION IN INDIANA CITY SCHAEFER FREUND NUPTIALS MADE MANAGER OF BOND DEPARTMENT AT THE AMERICAN TRUST CO. BANK A- Star touring car, owned by Ambrose Schaefer, local drayman, was stolen from in front of the McHenry garage on Pearl street between six and seven Wednesday evening of last week and thus far no trace of the machine has been found. The owner left the car at the garage for repairs with instructions to run the machine out in front where Mr. Schaefer would get it on Wednesday evening. On his arrival at the garage, the machine was, missing. Thinking it the work of a practical joker the theft was not reported to Officer Jack Walsh until the following morning.

The Plaindealer always takes particular pride at the opportunity of telling its readers of a worthy achievement of one of McHenry's citizens but this week comes an opportunity for a story, the nature of which is most interesting to us and we are sure will be read with a great deal of delight by the friends of Richard B. Walsh whom McHenry has always claimed as her own. ' The story was made possible thru a very fine promotion which was recently tendered our good friend, Mr Walsh, when he was made manager of the bond department of the American Trust company, the largest banking house in South Bend, Ind., and also recognized as one of the largest and best banking institutions in the state of Indiana. The importance of this very responsible position may probably be better recognized when we say that this institution's assets amount to nearly $5,- 000,000. South Bend is a city of more than 100,000 inhabitants and is probably one of the most rapidly growing large centers in this country. The American Trust company opened their bond department only about a year ago but in this short period o| time very gratifying progress has been made. Mr. Walsh's new position thus gives him complete charge of the purchasing and selling of all bonds handled by the !>ank, a very responsible undertaking for a young man but a trust we feel certain he will fill and safeguard with great credit to himself and satisfactorily to his employers. Wat Born In McHenry Richard B. Walsh, more familiarly known in this city as "Dick" Walsh, was born and grew up in McHenry, where he is loved and admired by everyone. He graduated from the McHenry high school with the class of '04; and ever since that eventful day he has regarded Friday and thirteen as lucky. His graduation class numbered thirteen. He took up his new position on Friday. He attended the Chicago Business College during 1905 and 1906. completing his studies there in December, 1906. His First Position His career started in January, 1907, when he ehtered the employ of A. B. Leach & Company, a Chicago brokerage house. Like many men who have succeeded in life he started at the foot of the ladder. His first position was that of office boy at a salary of $30.00 per month. As days, weeks and months passed by, his work attracted the attention of his employers. Then there came a day when he was given a promotion and he was no ionger office boy. He became thoroly "sold" on the stock and bond business from that very day and from then on his advance and success came rapidly. He was employed by A. B. Leath & Company about a year when they expressed a sufficient amount of faith in this young man to start him out as their traveling representative. At the end of thirteen days he was able to send in his first order, in other words he had been successful in making his first saler The ice had been broken and from thence on orders were com-] ing in to the house from Mr. Walsh with marked regularity. Goes To DeVitt Tremble ft Co. His next position was Deyitt Tremble & Company, also of Chicago. He remained with this concern from 1909 until the close of 1915. Joins Hodenpyl, Hardy A Co. He joined Hodenpyl, Hardy & Company, of New York and Chicago, in 1916 and up until his resignation to accept the position at South Bend he has given this firm the very best that he possessed. He traveled from the Chicago office and during the eight years in which he has been connected with this brokerage he has made a remarkable success. Needless to say that this company very much regretted to learn of his decision to accept the South Bend position but before accepting his resignation and in recognition of the excellent services which he had rendered, Mr. Walsh was offered a partnership in the business as a special inducement for tym to remain with the company. However, he saw in the South Bend proposition an opportunity he had desired for some time past this bei|ig to get off the road, and that was his only reason for refusing the Hodenpyl, Hardy & Company offer Even his becoming a part owner in tJ»o business would not have relieved him entirely of the road work and as this was the thing foremost in his mind, he accepted the South Bend offer, Not A Stranger In South Bend Mr. Walsh is not a stranger at South Bend. His position with the Hodenpyl, Hardy & Company took him to the Indiana metropolis quite frequently during the past several years. As a matter of fact he and Mr. E. H. SOLEMNIZED WEDNESDAY FORENOON AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH A pretty wedding and one of unusual interest to the young people of this community was solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic church in this city at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week, when Miss Dorothy Anna Freund became the wife of Mr. Ambrose Henry Schaefer, the ceremony having been performed by Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor. The wedding march was beautifully rendered by Sister Cantia. " The bridal couple was attended by Miss Rose Freund of Waukegan as maid of honor and Miss Lillian Freund of this city as bridesmaid, both sisters of the bride. The groom had as his attendant Louis Stoffel, an intimate friend. The bride was most attractively gowned in white beaded georgette and carried a shower bouquet of Kilarney roses and feverfew. She wore a beau tiful tulle veil held in place by orange blossoms. The maid of honor wore a gown of almond green canton crepe with head band to match and a corsage of pink roses. . The bridesmaid's dress was of orchid georgette with a headband to match and she wore a corsage of sweet peas and gypsophila. Immediately following the wedding ceremonies the newlyweds were tendered a reception and dinner at the home of the groom's parents on Riverside Drive, which were attended by only the immediate relatives of the couple. The bride-ele4t is the youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Freund of this city. She is well and favorably known here, having spent her entire life in and near McHenry. She has been an active member of Joyce Kilmer court, Catholic Daughters of America, since its organization and has many friends thruout this vicinity. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Math. J. Schaefer, who reside on Riverside Drive in this city. He is a young man of sterling worth and has been conducting a drayage business in McHenry for some time past. Mr. aryi Mrs. Schaefer left during the afternoon via automobile for a several days' honeymoon trip. Upon their return to McHenry they expect to take up their residence in the upper flat of the Schaefer home on Riverside Drive, where they will be at home to their friends about June 1. The Plaindealer joins their many friends in extending hearty congratulations. DINNER MEETING OF COMMUNITY CLUB THURSDAY The members of the community club: and all others interested in this orgam ization and the good things that it stands for, will hold a dinner meeting at Justen's hotel at 7:00 o'clock one week from tonight, Thursday, May 7. It is the desire of the club officials to make this meeting the largest, in point of attendance, held here this year.

Bryan, of the Illinois Lumber Merchants' asso' ciation, who has appeared in McHenry before, Will be the speaker of the evening. Mr. Bryan puts a great deal of "pep" and enthusiasm into any sort of m meeting and you'll be missing a treat if you fail to hear him. HOME BUREAU PRESENTS ONE-ACT PLAYLETS HERE '.•A 1 Three one-act playlets, worthy of a much larger attendance than was accorded them, were presented under auspices of the various units of the McHenry County Home Bureau at the McHenry community high school audi torium on Tuesday evening of this week. The members of the casts to present the evening's entertainment were picked from the various Home Bureau units from all over the county and to say the least, the entertainment was enjoyable and highly commendable. These playlets are being staged in various cities and towns of the county and the net proceeds will be utilized towards the organization of Boys' and Girls' club work. Members from with the | this unit to take part were Mesdames Clarence Whiting and Chas. W. Gibbs. VEHICLE TAXES NOW DUE Vehicle taxes are now due and payable and public notice is hereby given that I will be at Vogt's drug store from 7:00 to 9 00 o'clock on Tuesday evenings and during the same hours on Friday evenings at Bolger's drug store, for the purpose of collecting these taxes.
