MsrjrS C&thvuc<J church in this .village occurred the marriage of MisS Emma Joseph* Nye of Alvado, Ohio, to Charles M. Stoffel of this 5»lace, the wedding ceremony being performed by Rev. George JSfell of Quiacy, 111., this being the young labor's first attempt at tying knots, and those who witnessed the ceremony are wiltttgg to testify that thtoknot was MWfereJy lied. At the appointed hour the bridf&r pair, together with their attendants, eotttred the ehnrcii edifice m khe &cft &nd btiautifud strai'as of » march played by the church organist, Sister Ancilla. The bridal party looked most charming as they slowly wended their way to the foot of the altar, where the sacjNRl words that bound tlie two Joe life were spoken.' The bride, gowned in a dress of white satin, wreath and veil and carry- insr a bouquet of white bridal roses, maae a most favorable impression up- un Uiose who had gathered to witness the marriagte. She was attended by her sister, Clara Nye, of Alvado, Ohio, and Eva Stoffel, a Bistel* to the groom. The former wore a dress of blue crepe de chine, while the latter wore a gown of .pink of the same material. Both carried pink and white carnations^..' The groom was attended by his two brothers. William and Lewis Stoffel. After the ceremony the couple, to­ gether with" the immediate members of the two families, gathered at the home of the groom's parents, where a wedding reception was tendered them. The bride is the second youngest daughter of Mrs. Frank Nye of Alvado, Ohio. She was born and raised in the Ohio city and continued to riiake that place her home until about a year and a half ago, when she came to McHen- ry. Since coming to this village she has resided in the home of her brother, Dr, jjj. J. Nye. Daring "sr residsiHM? here the bride has made many friends and holds the respect of all who have formed her acquaintance. She is a re­ fined young woman of many pleasing personalities, which have been the source of making friends for her. The groom is the third son of Mr. and Mrs. William Stoffel of this vil­ lage. He was. born and raised in Mw Henry and, with the exception of a year or two, has always resided here. During the past few months he bas been employed with the International Harvester company at' Milwaukee, Wis. He is a popular young fellow, who numbers his friends by the score. Mr. and Mrs. Stoffel will leave to­ night for Milwaukee* where they will make their future home. The best wishes of their many friends will a^, oompaoy them there. , !> ill, ±&T.- FARMERS HOLDING OUT Monday was contract day at the "Various Borden plants in this vicinity* The prices as offered h^ the 'Borden people did not come up to the demands of the millfe producers and for that reason only a few signed up. Sere in McHenry, we are told, only twenty or so farmers signed the contracts, while at other places in this district only a few signatures were obtained. The order has been given out at milk pro­ ducers' headquarters to hold out and this the fanners will undoubtedly do. It is expected that the Bowman Dairy company will make their prices known sometime today and everyone interest­ ed is anxiously waiting to see what that company will offer. The prices of the Borden company are given^pj^,- jrhare in this paper. . . i ' .. - • DANCE AT STOFFEL'S HALL Arrangements have been completed for the holding of a soeial dance at Stoffel's hall next Saturday evening, Sept. 20.

DjKKr Sir--The article oottcerning the profk«ed street light contract by Samuel Esler in the September ,11 edition of The Plaindealer contains a ifis misle»ding statements, a correc­ tly of which is due the readers of your paper and the compauy that furnishes the electricity in McHenry. The paints to be emphasized are as follows: Arc lamps are rafted in "nominal" candle power. The quantity, "1200 candle power," was originated years ago by considering that when a 300 candle power lamp is hung at a street intersection the lamp throws 300'candle power in 4ach of four direction^, mak­ ing what fci known • as a nominal 1200 candle power lamp, so that when com­ paring. an arc lamp with a modern lamp the candle power as mentioned above should be divided by four. The article by Mr. Esler endeavors to make a direct comparison between candle power and contract price. Such a basis of comparison is erroneous. For instance, the Public Servicekoom- pany will supply the village of Mc­ Henry, if it so desires, the equivalent of its present illumination in the form of fifteen (15) clusters at a price of $780.00, a saving to the village of $420.00. We, however, do not reoom- med this course, because there would not be obtained the necessary distribu­ tion of light. V In a similar manner, it is easy to see that there is no consistent relation be-, tween the kilowatt hour consumption j^nd the annual contract price in a street lighting system. For instance, the Public Service company often ex­ tends its lines a distance of 700 feet in order to reach the location for a single street incandescent lamp, whereas it is easy to see that it oould not make any su^h extension for just one light oh a straight kilowatt hour basis. In computing the price qnoted the village for street lighting, a rate of 3c per kilowatt hour was used, and not 16a as stated in Mr. Esler's letter; the balance of the items .which go to make up (the total cost of giving the service consist of line maintenance, renewal of lamps and interest and depreciation on the special street lighting investment. There is everything ' in favor of an incandescent tungsten lighting system as compared to the arc system. For the same amount of money the village cai} have more lights, a better di$^- butionof light and less outages. • > Yours very truly, CBARLHS T.

ROYAL NEIGHBORS HONOR SISTER After the regular meeting of the Fox River Valley Camp of Royal Neighbors held at the Wooodman hall on the West Side on Tuesday evening of this week, the members of that body tendered <me of their sisters, Miss Kathryn Laures, a very pleasant sur­ prise by presenting her with a beauti­ ful rocker. After the presentation of the) rocker, all remained for a few hours of enjoyment^ the occasion being closed with the serving of light re­ freshments. The event was highly en- ed by all. After bathing, liberal use of Lotus toilet water is delightful. AtPetesch's. ENJOY BOAT RIDE the members of the Dundee choir, which took such an active part in the missionary fest held at the SSfon Luth­ eran church in this village last Sun­ day, enjoyed a boat ride to the lotus be4s and back on that day. The sing­ ers-arrived in McHenry on the morn­ ing; train and soon after their arrival hene were escorted to the river docks, where an awaiting boat carried them on their very much enjoyed trip. They returned home in time for the services at the church in the afternoon.

SOLQWCNTERTAINS OVER ONE THOUSAND vrsirsss SA1**RDAY As pceviously advertised.fa the col­ umn^ of The Plaindealei^ Ae he^Stf races Wfere pulled off as pet Jschodul© at Solon last Saturday aftewibon. That the much talked of race be­ tween the two McHenry horses created »nore thSn a little interest among lovers of horse' fiateh was plainly evi­ dent by the lavge crowd that was on hand to watch the afternoon's sport, it behig estinKlt&d that thert! yr.ere be­ tween 1,000 and 1,200 at the Solon track when the big show took place. Those who gathered were treated to extn^evantsi whlck had noft boen «d vertieed. The firsts was a raee between steeds owned by Ed. Lusk of this vil­ lage, George Vogei of Solon and John McGaw of Richmond. , .. . This event was pulled oft- lit f^ree' heats, as follows? Lusk.. .2 1 1 VogeL i --------•-•-A'!'? 2 McGitfr 3 3 George Vogel drove the Lusk horse, Cornish bandied the Vogel horse, while the Richmond horse was driven by its owner. While no time was kept on the three heats by these horses, it is a safe guess to say that they did better than 2:40. In the feature race of the day the John F. Freund horse, Robert F., won in three straight heats. The time of the first heat was 2:41, the seoond, 2:45, and the third, 2:35^. v Very' bad breaks by the Justen horse, Dolly J., lost the race for-the horse. On the straight-away it looked very much as tho the Justen horse had the better of the argument, but when it came to making the sharp turns the animal didn't seem to keep on its feet, thus lobiug much ground. A number of the horsemen 6h the grounds seemed to be of the belief that with a different driver the Justen horse would have Won out, they con­ tending that Frankie Justen, who drove the animal, was toe light to hold the steed on its feet.' A number of those who favored the Freund horse are of the belief that the best horse won and - that Dolly F. hadn't the slightest chance of winning the race. . The writer is not so very well versed when it comes to horse fi$sh, so will stand aside and let those who make a study of the ponies do the talking. From the many arguments heard on the streets and in public p!-ices, it looks to us as if aii^ther. uiatoh be tween these, two horses i*#ot an im-: probability. ^ . >< A number of &cHenry people went up.to witness the matinee, while Johns­ burgh, Ringwood, SpringGrove, Solon, Greenwood and Richmond were also well represented. To wind up the day's sport two jumpers, owned by Qeorge Vpgel of Solon and Worth Woodburn of this village, ran two heats. The first prpved a dead heat, while tj)#. second went to Woodburn. •< i*. - AS PICKED if m fUUDEAUX.IE- roRTjasMDintoi1 THIS WlAT PEOl LAGE AND Other Butter was deBla^alrm at §t~ dbnia tsi the Elgin board of tr*tie M<mddy. , .

True to their word the boys had every­ thing in readiness and the start for the picnie grounds was made at the ap­ pointed time. When the boys reached their destination the weather condi­ tions were anything but favorable for outdoor festivities. However, it takes more than a rainy day to hinder the Hunter employes from enjoying them­ selves. A tent was pitched and the boys proceeded to make'merry. Every minute of the day was passed in real enjoyment. The event would have been incomplete without the serving of dinner and supper, which were two of the big features of the day. The spreads were of the kind that only real campers know how to prepare and serve. The passenger boat Glsdene carried the party to and from the pic­ nic grounds. ELGIN. COLLEGIANS NEXT The Elgin Collegians, who slipped one over on McIIenry on August 3, will be in town again next Sunday aft­ ernoon to combat with the local crew of baseball tossere. It will be remem­ bered that the Elgin lads won the game in the ninth inning on their for­ mer appearance here, carrying away the day's honors by a scqre of 5 to 4. The McHenry boys have never recov­ ered from the sting of this defeat and are more than anxious to square up matters with the speedy boys of the watch city. McHenry will be repre­ sented with its full strength next/Sun­ day, so turn out and watch a real good ball game. Game tailed at the usual time and the customary adsdtooy prices will also prevail. .
