J. Molzahn, Tester* ADDITIONAL PERSONALS C. Unti transacted business matters? in the metropolitan city Tuesday. Oliver W. D. Herman and J. Norman Boiskon of Chicago were week end visitors at their summer homes on Fox river. Mrs. Henry Kamholz and son, David, and Mrs. Herman Kamholz attended the ladies' world fair in Chicago Wednesday. Out of town guests to attend the Silver wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Michael J. Walsh were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Kenney and James Burke of Chicago; James Walsh of Whiting, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Malone of 151- gin; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Walsh and family of Grayslake; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. P. Green of Woodstock and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Knox of Terra Cotta. Louis P. Bending of Belvidere was among those present at the opening of the baseball season here last Sunday afternoon. There was a day when Louis had a whole lot to do with baseball in McHenry and his ability as a pitcfier and all-around player is still fresh in the memory of many fans thruout this community. Altho Louie has given way to th|e younger generation his interest in the national pastime is not lessening. Miller, president of the American Trust company, have been very close friends oyer a period of years. He is also vice president of the Oliver Hotel corporation, owners and operators of the Oliver hotel at South Bend, recognized as one . of the leading hotels in the United States. He was honored by being made vice president of thi» poration a few years ago.j . ^ Now Getting Organized , Since assuming his new position at South Bend Mr. "Walsh has been very busily engaged in getting the department organized and within a very short time he expects to have everything running smoothly. He expects to bretfk in a new sales organization and within the course of the next few months we are sure that his presence will be very keenly felt by his new employers. ; Not To Sever Here Altho he stood ready and willing to hand in hi? resignation as a member of the board of directors-of the West McHenry State bank, the officials of that institution succeeded in inducing him to remain and depositors of this bank may rest assured that Richard B. Walsh will be numbered among those present at each and every directors' meeting conducted by this institution while he is a member of the body. The same also holds good with the McHenry Country club of which he is president, to which position he VM first elected two years ago. . ( Managed Old McHenry Sox 1 Mr. Walsh is a great lover of baseball and from 1913 to 1916 managed the McHenry baseball team, in those years kno^n as the McHenry Sox. During these years he accomplished something that has never before or since been done in McHenry county by bringing both the Chicago White Sox and Cubs to this city for exhibition games with the team he managed. On each of these occasions it meant a guarantee of $500 to the visiting team.* These guarantees were raised among the fans more or less thru his personal solicitation and after each game the money was returned to the subscribers, showing that the gate- had taken care of all obligations. During the season of 1914 he was presented with a loving cup, a gift of fan admirers who wished in this small way to show their appreciation of what he had done for baseball in McHenry. Another thing that stood out very prominently in his connection with local baseball during those days was his ability to handle the players, each and everyone of whom stood ready at all times to give him the best service of which they were capable of delivering and at the same time respect all rules as laid down to them by their manager. Has Appeared As Public Speaker Mr. Walsh, on numerous occasions has appeared here as a public speaker, and no matter on what subject he wa called upon to talk he always proved himself equal to the occasion. McHenry always turns out enmasse when this young man is advertised as the speaker of any occasion. Will Move To South Bend Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, who during tbe past few years have made their home at Evanstoh, are now preparing to take up their home at South Bend, and expect to be comfortably settled there very shortly. ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE Elgin police captured two automo-, bile thieves early Saturday morning as the men were slumbering in a stolen Ford sedan in a slough near Villa street. The confessed auto thieves, H. Boade and James Webber, both of Houston, Texas, stole the car at Gary, Ind., and wer6 on their way north from New Orleans. The first annual concert by the Harvard public school band, given one evening recently at the community high school, was a great credit to the school and their director, L. W. Hebestreit Attired in their black capes with orange linings, the senior band members, numbering forty-three, presented a fine appearance and gave a musical program, of highest merit. The annual meeting of the Express Body Corporation of Crystal Lake closed the most successful year of the concern since its location in that city. The business during the year just closed showed an increase of more than fifty per cent, which was due to not only the addition of the corporation's radio department, but to a very large increase in the business of the garden craft department. Supt. Ernest Clark and Jack Bjorklund, of the sales force of the American Terra Cotta* & Ceramic company at Terra Cotta, have tendered theiv resignations and will go in to business for themselves. Messrs. Clark and Bjorklund with A. H. Sheffield, formerly with the business office and sales force of the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic company, have taken .over a half interest in the Kansas City Terra Cotta company, Kansas City, Mo. f AUCTION SALE .

JOYCE KILMER PLAYERS tO PRESENT ENTERTAINMENT HERE MAY 27 "The Watcher at the Gate" a brilliant and highly entertaining play of modern life by William Boeder and A. E. Bradley, in which "The Joyce Kilmer Players" created a notable success in Chicago and other large cities thruout the middle west, is said to be packed with human feeling and sympathy. It is a cut above the other plays of the day and has attracted wide and favorable notice. Spiritism is the theme of the story. With this strange doctrine in the minds and the ouija board in the hands of thousands who have a real but misguided interest in the after life, the time is opportune for its production. It is said to be a tremendous expose of self-styled mediums and the lying communications of evil spirits. "The Joyce Kilmer Players" who fare reputed to be the foremost Catholic dramatic guild of Chicago will present this startling play with the entire original cast at the Empire theatre on Wednesday, May' 27, for one special performance. x! NATIONAL TEA COMPANY TAKES OVER GROCERY DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL MARKET -' A telephone call from Chicago this (Thursday) morning just as The Plaindealer was putting its forms to press, is to the effect that Wm. Pries, proprietor of the Central Meat market and grocery, closed a deal in Chicago this morning whereby the National Tea company will take over the grocery department of the Central market next Monday morning. Simultaneously with the coming of the National company, Mr. Pries, who will retain the meat department, will open up as a cash market.
