FOUR HAVE ALREADY FILED THEIR PETI­ TIONS WITH THE VILLAGE CLERK The village political pot iB beginning to boil and as the time of the election grows nearer the* pot vfill naturally grow hotter. , Since our last issue four candidates for the office of village trustees have filed their petitions with the village clerk. The first ticket to be filed was that of Simon Stoffel, William Spencer and Fred Nickels, who are candidates for the office of village trustees. They hare filed their petition under the Re­ publican party heading and will make the race on that ticket. , Wm. Bacon has also filed a petition bearing his name and is listed on the People's ticket, Up to the time of going to press the petitions of the two candidates for president have not been $led nor has Wm. Simes, who is also a candidate for the office of trustee, filed his peti tlon. However, there is plenty of time left in which to file these petitions, as the candidates have until 12 o'clock midnight, Monday, April 5, in which to do this. That there will be at least five can didates for the offices of village trn$ tee now seems assured and it is a'so certain that Dr. D. G. Wells and Peter J. Freund will file their petitions for the village presidency, so it may be seen at a glance that the scenery is all set for the staging of one of the warm e s t e l e c t i o n s e v e r h e l d i n t h e v i l l a - Altho the election is still over month away, the various candidates will lose no time from now until the big day arrives and they as well as the voters will be kept on edge until the gongh &8 sounded a knock out. It would also be well to remind the various candidates that the women are to be considered at the coming elec­ tion and if they want to win they'll have to talk real "sweet" to the ladies, as well as buying the smokes for men voters. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM HIE C0LU1WS OF OUR MANY EXCHANGES MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE NOT SMART AT ALL Wednesday afternoon four young street gamins, who are making^ them­ selves conspicuous thru their idlenes? amused themselves for an hour or more in throwing snow balls at law-abiding pedestrians. The four lads were stationed in front of the C. Unti store and as previously stated, made it dis­ agreeable for everyone who happened to pass along the streets in that part of town. Men. womep and even little children were used as targets for their icy snow balls and wonder is that no one was injured. During all the time that the boys occupied the corner no police officer passed the place. Is this giving the public the proper protection? COURT SALE At Math.

State's Attorney Dady of Lake county has been petitioned to use his office in removing three saloons, which are said to be operating within two miles of the corporate limits of Antioch and Lake Villa, anti-saloon territory. The Dairymen Statebank of Marengo has purchased the building in which the bank has been located during the past seventeen years. The purchase price was 918,000. The building is to undergo extensive improvements. Lake Villa's only barber shop was entered one night last week and relieved of all its tools, supplies and even a show case. A small savings bank contain ing $85 of the proprietor's savings was also among the things missed when the burglary was discovered. A couple of Palatine's bad men were hauled into court in that village, one morning last week, and pleaded guilty to a charge of chicken stealing. The judge assessed a fine of $100 and costs to each, but later remitted the fine when the men promised to leave town never again to return. Red" O'Brien of Woodstock recent ly defeated Matty Mazuda, the Jap wrestler. The bout took place at the county seat and was witnessed by a lprge crowd of fans.

A set of trap drums, stolen from the Gem theatre at Crystal Lake on Sept. 12, 1914, were recovered at Goshen, Ind., 'by ex-sheriff Henderson and Marshal Purvey of Crystal Lake last week. Wilbur Rummel, now serving year's sentence in the county jail at Woodstock, confessed to his part in the robbery and told the officers that he had sold the drums to a young man in Chicago. The Crystal Lake officials went to Chicago to see the young man who had purchased the drums and from that city they were traced to Goshen. Richmond Gazette: Thirty tons of clam ahells were shipped from Spring Grove the other day by Iver Iverson, the Fox river pearl hunter. The shells were purchased by C. L. Apple of Muscatine, Iowa., who has a button factory that makes clam shells into lovely "pearl" buttons. Eleven dollars per ton was paid for the shells and they were the result of two years' work. Mr. Iverson is seventy years old and pends the summer m6nths pearl hunting. lie has a tent on the Frank Hatch land and makes his home there while the seasons allow boating on the river. He spends many hours each day rowing up and down for miles and miles. The boat is equipped with a hook apparatus that grapples the clams. When he has secured a boat load he takes them back to his tent, where they are put into a boiler and the watervheated, which has the effect of mafifng the shells open easily. Mr. Iverson finds pearls, that is not dis­ puted, but how many or what value is not known, for the pearl hunter tells no tales about the precious pebble which he now and then finds nestled in a clam shell. Doubtless he may re­ late iiiany interesting things about the silent and mvsterious clam family, but he, too, can keep secrets. _ MCHENRY'S SOCIETY O. E. S. Card Party The public card party, given by the McHenry Chapter, O. E. S., at the Masonie hall here last evening, was pronounced one of the most pleasant events of the Winter season.

NEW GARRGE ON WEST SIDE , I. OVERTON FINALLY DECIDE8 TO BUILD IN WEST McHENRY R. I. Overton, the West Side livery and garage man, who some months ago purchased the F, J. Karges prop­ erty on bridge, and who at the time intended to erect a modern garage on the prop­ erty, has abandoned that idea, for the present at least, and instead will begin the erection of a modern garage build­ ing on his West Side property at once. The structure will be 50x100 feet and will be modern in every detail. The walls of the building will be of cement blocks, while the front will be made of pressed brick. Work on the-new place was started today and work on same will be rushed to completion. As the auto season is near at hand Mr. Overton is very de­ sirous that his place be finished at the earliest possible date and judging from this all local records of building will be broken in the construction of the garage. As stated in these columns some time ago, the auto livery equipment will compare with the best in McHenry county and will consist of four 4-cylin- der machines, two ti-cylinders and one twenty passenger omnibus. In connection with the garage busi ness it would also be Well to state that Overton Cowen, who are agents for the Overland and Studehaker cars, have recently disposed of a 4-passenger coupe to a man who has a summer home near this village. They „now have several calls for the Overland Six and just as soon as a car of this type can be put on their display room floor they ho|>e to close up a number of sales on this particular make of machine. They have an order in for the Overland Six and(are expecting the machine in at any time. FAMOUS PLAYERS AT THE CENTRAL Among the famous players looked at the Ce^t^al will be "Tess of the Storm Country," with Mary Pickford; "Check­ ers," with Thos. W. Ross; "The Man on the Box," with Max Figman. Arrangments have been made to run them right- along. The price of admission, 10c. Also coming soon, the great serial play, "The Exploits of Elaine." Don't fail to read this sen­ sational story in the McHenry Plain- dealer each week. LARGE SUBSCRIPTION SECURED TO EQUIP FACTORY-MARKET ALSO FOUND FOR PRODUCT A meeting of the dairymen was held in the Woodman hall on last Saturday to determine definitely what should be done in regard to the factory proposi­ tion. Owing to the storm that pre­ vailed a small crowd was there and nothing definite could be decided up­ on. However, the sentiment that pre­ vailed was to wait for the big com­ pany's prices to be posted before tak­ ing definite action. It may he well, for the benefit of those who could not be there, to state that a large subscription has been se* cured with which to equip the factory, a market for our product has been found, an option has been secured on machinery we may need, the ice house has been filled and a competent man is in readiness to take up thfe work. All that remains is a-word from the farmers and the creamery will be a thing of action once more. The only regret is that we have not received that word at this time that we might begin operations at once. However, things can be rushed to completion when necessary and no ohe nee<fe to doubt that the factory can be put in working condition by April 1. Taking everything into considera­ tion, we are in a good position to fight for our rights and if we do not at this time we must "forever hold our peace." All that is necessary is a united effort on the part of every dairyman toward this one great object, a concerted action on the part of us all that may terminate in a grand organization of every dairyman of this community. And why not? Every conceivable bus­ iness but ours is controlled by an organization and we find ourselves to­ day representing thfe largest Invest­ ment in capital of any business in the world without any pretense toward organization. With that idea in view a meeting will be held on the morning of contract day at nine o'clock at the town clerk's office and every man is urgently requested to attend this meet­ ing before signing any contract re­ gardless of price. No one's interests will be jeopardized by so doing and every man will then be in a position to receive a square deal. Especially do-I appear to those men who in the past have seen fit to be the first to "sign up" to be with us upon this occasion, if never before.f You can be of service to us now and perhaps the time will come when you may need .the assistance of those whom you now would assist. Thanking you in advance for that assistance and hop­ ing that every man may be with us up­ on that occasion, I am, Very respectfully, WALTER J. WALSH. LOCAL BOATS HAKE BIG BIT AT THE MOTOR BOAT SHOW HELD IN CHICAGO LAST WEEK Movies at the Central Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday of each week. DOUBLE GAME SATURDAY Next Saturday evening the fans will Pearl street, near the- river treated to a big double game, to be played between local teams. The first game will be between the senior- gophomore if iris and the freshman girls, while the second game will be a battle between the McHenry highs and the McHenry Alumni. The Alum­ ni players have a strong line-up and, altho a bit out of practise, they de­ clare that they will be able to make the highs go some to win. The Alum­ ni players are putting in a lot of good, hard practise for this game and if they lose it will not be because they have not tried, as they are more than anxious to show up the coming high school champions of McHenry county. Games will be called at the usual time and the regular prices of admission will prevail. Come out and see two of the most intereaing games of the sea­ son. The girls' game will decide the school championship and, as each team is anxious to win, a hair-rising contest may be looked for. Don't miss these two extra attractions. The McHenry motor boats, the prod­ uct of the Everett Hunter Boat com­ pany, made a big hit at tbfe Motor Boat show held at the coliseum in Chi­ cago last week. The Hunter display was ths largest at the show and no little amount of in­ terest was displayed in the local ex­ hibit by the thousands who^visited the show during the week. In spite of the unsettled conditions of the* country, Mr. Hunter reports the sales most satisfactory and is well pleased with the business done during the week, wnile the future prospects look especially rosy. The sales ran over thirty launches, while orders are coming in right along and from the large number of ""pros­ pects it looks to us as if the local fac­ tory will put in one of the busiest sea sons in the history of the company. That the Hunter boats are becoming the popular craft in this country is seen by the fact that buyers from all over the United States are looking up and placing orders for the McHenry prod­ ucts. During the show orders were taken from people residing in New Jersey, Texas, Kansas City, Mo., Cleve­ land and Toledo, O., and many other cities and states, which goes to show that our boats are on a par with those manufactured in the eastern dtiet. The citizens of McHenry little real­ ize that in the Everett Hunter boat factory McHenry has an institution that is just bound to compare with and even surpass most of t^ie concerns of its kind in the United States and we look forward to the time when this industry will develop into one of the biggest and best in the West. The Hunter quality launch is now recagnized as one of the best manufac­ tured in this country and our predic­ tion is that some day E. Hunter will be looked upon in the boat building industry the same as Henry Ford is in the auto manufacturing world. Visitors and prospective buyers at the factory here are growing in num­ bers eaoh day and from now on the office and working force will be kept on the jump. In speaking of the show Mr. Hunter makes the following comment: "We had a great week and the boys of the shop proved real good salesmen." All of the boats shown in Chicago have been disposed of, altho a number have been brought back to the factory for the purpose of making a few alter­ ations. i McHenry ice cream is manufactured and sold the year round, summer and winter.

The McHenry Artificial Stone com­ pany at the present time is in the most prosperous condition that it has been in since the company was launched a few years ago. . The business of the company has grown steadily during these years and today the enterprise is looked upon as one tff the most flourishing as well as substantial in the village. From time to time new members have been taken into the company March 1 seeing the addition of another hiember, in the person of Geo. Bohr, who is recognized as one of the very best all-round masons in this vicinity. While Mr. Bohr is capable of doing most everything in the way of mason ery, he has always made a specialty of brick laying and in this line he is con­ sidered an expert. The addition of Mr. Bohr as a part owner makes the company one of the strongest combinations of its kind in McHenry county and places them in position to take on more contracts for brick constructions. While they have done some brick work in the past, the company has never pushed that end of the businpss, but henceforth they will go after everything in the way of brick and cement work. Many new ideas have been gathered up by the several members of the com­ pany during the recent cement show in Chicago and they are now in a better position than ever to give the public the very best that the cemeut age has to offer. New machinery is continually being added to their already well equipped plant just west of the railroad tracks and a visit to the factory will convince the most skeptical that McHenry has an artificial stone industry that will soon rank among the best in this part of the state. MONEY FOR YOU Do you know that bur classified col­ umn brings results? If uot, just give' it a trial and - be convinced. One of the users called at this office on Tues­ day of this week and told us to remove his advertisement which was pub­ lished in the last two issues. The man in question informed us that he should have ordered the ad. out after the first issue, as he had disposed of his article two days after the paper was issued.

A number of our young people are taking violin lessons. One of the In­ structors of the Sears School of Music of Algonquin is making regular trips to this village and we understand that his class here is getting along splen­ didly. - This locality was visited by one of the Heaviest snow storms of, the season last Friday and Saturday. On Satur­ day morning a number of farmers came to town with sleighs, but the warm sun soon put the bote and cutters out of commission. Ben Stilling shipped a carload of carp to Chicago on Tuesday of this week. This is the first shipment Mr. Stilling has made this year an* iticic. are likely to follow in the near future, as he still has a large number of the fish quartered in his pens at Pistakee Ray. A young man stopped in OentervfllO about 9:30 last Friday morning to in­ quire His way to Spencer's mill. After giving him directions, the writer was told that he resided within six miles of Waukegan and had made the long drive with a load of wheat. This is some advertisement for the West Mo- Henry mill. The town caucus takes plaoe «M week from next Saturday. No new candidates have come up since last* week and it now looks as if Supervisor S. H.
