Fred Weinschenker, "the^ local agent for the Schoenhofen Brewing com­ pany, has made arrangements for the inauguration of a 'motor truck passenger service between this vil­ lage and the Terra Cotta factory. The service, which is to be put in­ to commission for the convenience of the McHenry people employed at the Terra Cotta factory, will begin next Monday morning and will continue just as long as there is a demand for such. Trips will be made every, morning and evening and we dare say that the new mode of traveling between the two points will be weftomed by the McHenry working men now employed at the factory. ? It is quite likely that the McHenry force will be increased considerably during the next week or two, as we are told that a number of our men will put in their applications for work at once. In an interview with Mr. Wein­ schenker we were told that he would be in a position to carry on the ser­ vice and. at the same time look after the interests of his company. The trip to and from Terra Cotta will take up no more than an hour's ^ime in the morning and evening and this will give him a full day in which to take care of the business connected with the local agency of the Schoen­ hofen Brewing company. The new system will get the work­ men to the factory in very much shorter time than the old way and it will also give them an opportunity to rest a trifle longer in the morning. Under the present system of trans­ portation, horse and wagon, it is nec­ essary for the men to pile out at & very early hour and then spend three- quarters of an hour on the road. This inconvenience has, no doubt, kept a number of McHenryites from making applications for work in the past, but the new system should encourage McHenry labor to Terra Cotta. Forty-nine Votes Cast Tuesday. The primary held Tuesday for the purpose-of electing delegates and al­ ternate delegates to the national nomination convention, state central and'precinct committeemen and for the purpose of securing an expression of the sentiment and will of the party, voters with respect to candidates for nomination for the office of president of the United States, elicited very little interest among the voters of the town of McHenry, there being but forty-nine votes cast here. Of these twenty-two voted the Democratic ticket and twenty-seven the Republi­ can. Twenty-one of the Republican voters expressed themselves in favor of Lawrence Y. Sherman for presi­ dent of the United States, while twelve Democratic voters cast their ballots in favor of Woodrow Wilson. For precinct committeeman F. H. Wattles received five votes on the Republican ticket, while Ed. L. Hayes was given thirteen votes by his Dem­ ocratic friends. Dissolve Partnership Heimer & Bickler, who during the past four years have conducted the Central buffet in this village, dis­ solved partnership last week, the lat­ ter selling his-interest in the business to Mr. Heimer, who will conduct the place alone in the future. Mr. Bick­ ler, who has thus retired from active business, is undecided as to what he Will do in the future. He is now con­ sidering several propositions which have been made him and we will ven­ ture a guess that Art will not be in idleness long. Making Repairs Some much needed repairs are be­ ing made on the bowling alleys and also the pool room conducted in the Schoel building in Centerville by E. M. Geier. The bowling alleys are be­ ing scraped and put into first-class condition by Mathias Karls, while a new floor will also be laid in the pool room. With the completion of the improvements Mr. Geier will have one of the neatest little amuse­ ment places of the kind in the coun­ ty. . Are You Going to Do Inside Dec­ orating We have just unpacked twenty bar­ rels of Bradley & Vrooman's paints. In this shipment we have 50 per cent more velvet flat finish for interior decoration than ever before. What does this mean? It means that this flat coat paint is being "used almost exclusively- for interior painting and decorating. We carry a complete stock of paints. Donavin & Reihansperger. Notice : On and after Monday, April 17, I will run a motor passenger truck morning and evening between Mc­ Henry and the Terra Cotta factory. Anyone wishing to ride will kindly notify the undersigned. Fare^ 20 cents for round trip. Fred Weinschenker, McHenry, I1L WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES r^SSS Miscellaneous Assortment of News Items In Condensed Form For Busy People Geneva lake cleared of ice on elec­ tion day, Tuesday, April 4. The bond issue for a. new city hall was voted down at Lake Geneva last week. All gum slot machines have been ordered out of East Troy, Wis., by the district attorney. The Western Thread company is seeking one hundred girls, women and boys for their Elgin factory. Measles are prevalent at Hebron and a number of children of that vil­ lage are now afflicted with the dis­ ease. Harvard mpy be given a public hospital. The city has offered a free site and janitor services for such a building if the town of Chemung, in which Harvard-is located, will erect the building. As the result of the election last week McHenry and Lake counties have but seven wet townships. In this county J[he wet townships are Algonquin, Burton, Coral and Mc­ Henry, while the three wet towns in Lake county include Grant, Antioch and Wauconda. Dennis O'Conner of Harvard was fined $25 for contempt of court for failure to answer questions in the county court aj Woodstock last Fri­ day morning. The South Island drainage case was on at the time and it was Judge Charles H. Donnelly who imposed the fine. The J. H. Patterson company of Mareitgo has acquired another lum­ ber yard, making seven in all now owned by that company. The latest acquisition is the yard at Rochelle, 111. The six other yards are located at Marengo, Union, Huntley, Gil­ berts, Roscoe and Wauconda. A band is being organized for the coming summer at Woodstock. The county seat city has always main­ tained one of the best bands in this part of the state and it looks as if the weekly concerts that have been so popular there in the past will be con­ tinued the coming summer. Geo. Ward, employed as pin boy at the George Kuecker bowling alleys at Marengo, was found guilty of rob­ bing a nickel machine at that place one day last week and he is now making his headquarters at the coun­ ty jail at Woodstock, where he is awaiting the action of the grand jury. Mayor Hendricks of Harvard in­ sists that the ordinance regarding the license of dogs be strictly en­ forced in that city. He believes in enforcing or repealing all city ordi­ nances. Several violators of the dog ordinance have been arrested and given fines of $3.00 and costs during the past few weeks. J. S. Losee, the Hebron agent for the Chalmers automobile, received two machines that were shipped there on flat cars last week. As a rule automobiles are shipped in box cars, but owing to the shortage of cars it was found necessary to make this shipment on a flat car, which created more than a little interest in that vil­ lage. The village board of Palatine has changed the saloon license fee in that village from $1,000 to $750 per year. This was done with the understand­ ing that the Sunday closing would be strictly enforced with the beginning of the new year. Palatine has five saloons and the decrease in license means a loss of $1,250 per year to the village. William Seclau, better known as Father Bill," who during the past few years has lived-in a little cottage on the banks of Fox lake, received burns that proved fatal to him one morning last week. An explosion of a small gasoline stove, upon which he cooked his meals, occurred while he was preparing breakfast. In an instant the entire cottage as well as his clothing was one mass of flames. The unfortunate man dashed out of the house, but before he was able to extinguish the blaze that had ignited his clothing he was so severely burned that he succumbed at a Chi­ cago hospital that night. As the result of the victory won, 105 milk producers of Barrington paraded the streets of that village for two hours last Saturday morning. The parade was headed by H. J. Lageschulte, head of the Barrington producers. He carried an American flag. Following him were six em­ ployees of the Milk Producers' Co­ operative plant, dressed in spotless white. The high school band fur­ nished the music. Hie parade came to a halt at the co-operative plant, which was recently purchased by the Barrington milk producers for $2,000. Here speeches were made by the su­ pervisor of Cuba township and sev­ eral other prominent citizens of Bar- vicinity. It was the big- geJ^H^Hof the kind ever seen in f MILK WAR 19 ENDEfr' Ffiret Deliveries Are Made Hare Monday Morning Hie, milk war between producer* and buyers came to an end last Sat­ urday morning, after a trifle over a week's hold-out by the dairymen. The Borden people were the last of the big companies to "come across." All of the others were ready to take the farmers at the prices demanded by the Slilk Producers' association the latter part of last week, but it was not until Monday that a definite understanding was made between the producers and the Borden Condensed Milk company. All of the former patrons of the local Borden factory were notified from the factory here last Sunday evening that Borden's were willing to acdept their milk af •the prices demanded. On Monday morning all of the patrons who had not signed at other plants were on hand with their milk, but there was some little delay in making the deliv­ eries at the plant on account of the fact that they had not received orders from their Chicago headquarters to do so. However, about 8:30 word came from Chicago to go ahead and make deliveries and sign up and from that time until late that evening the Borden plant here presented quite a busy scene. On account of the fact that a num­ ber of the former employes had left town there was a shortage of help at the factory and the work of receiving and caring for the milk was per­ formed under a severe handicap. Since Monday most of the old hands as well as a few new ones have re­ turned to work, with the result that working conditions have once mtre reached their normal state. We are told that on account of the war a few dairies were lost to the local plant, altho the officials are in hope that others may be added to take the place of those who have signed elsewhere. It looks to us as if some of the milk from the east, which now goes to Grayslake and other points, will be brought back to McHenry as a result of the settlement of the strike. Over at Grayslake the buyers do not make semi-annual contracts with the dairy­ men, they making their purchases from month to month. It is for this reason that some are of the belief that a number of the dairymen now delivering at Grayslake may be in­ duced to sign up here with the begin­ ning of another month. However, whether or not the dairymen feel this way remains to be seen. Time will tell. \ The settlement of the milk strike brought general rejoicing not only to the dairymen of this locality, but to the working men employed at the fac­ tory and also the business men of the village. While we do not believe in strikes and sincerely trust that McHenry will never again experience a repeti­ tion of same, we rejoice in knowing that the dairymen have at last come to be recognized by the big buyers. We were also pleased to see how the business men of the village extended the farmers their assistance, which plainly showed the feeling of good fellowship which exists between bus­ iness man and farmer here in Mc­ Henry. It also made us feel pretty good on Monday morning when the boys at the factory were called back to their posts, as things looked any­ thing but rosy for them last week. As one of the workmen expressed himself, "I never felt so blue in all my life." Those familiar with the situation seem to be of the opinion that there will be no strikes in the future and that the prices between all buyers and producers will be decided and agreed upon before the next contract day arrives. The Plaindealer hopes that this may come true and that the milk, which is now going elsewhere and rightfully belongs to the Mc­ Henry'plant, will all come back here next fall. It is up to every business man as well as everyone who has the interest of the village at heart to en­ courage this. Talk to the dairymen who are now going away from home. Invite them to come back to McHen­ ry. Start the ball a-rolling right now so that by the time the next contract day rolls around we will have all the dairymen, who rightfully belong to McHenry, lined up to bring their milk to the Borden factory here. Made Lumber Yard Manager Geo. H. Johnson, who, with his wife and daughter, have been mak­ ing their home with Mrs. F. K. Granger during the past several weeks, has gone to Waynesville, 111., where he has been given the manage­ ment of the yards of the Alexander Lumber company. Mr. Johnson has been connected with the lumber busi­ ness during the past few years and is capable in every way of caring for his employers' business. He will move his family to ghat Village some time in the near future. Have your old wall paper nvsde to look like new. Jesse \Vormley ca« do it. Phone WILL BE LIVELY ELECTION TWO FULL TICKETS IN FIELD TUESDAY All Candidates Are Hustling--Big Vote Is Expected--Makes Sewer­ age An Issue Next Tuesday, April 18, is the date for the holding of the annual village election and, in view of the fact that there are two full tickets in the field, a lively time is looked forward to by everyone. x The Village Ticket, which was placed into nomination at the village primary held on March 13, contains the names of John Heimer, N. E. Bar- bian and Wm. J. Schumacher for trustees and Jos. C. Holly for village 4lerk. Since the primary a second ticket, headed Citizens' Ticket, has been filed with the village clerk. John J. Justen, John H. Kennebeck and Peter J. Doherty are the three trustees who are running on this ticket, while Wm. G. Schreiner is the candidate for the office of village clerk. Since the filing of the second ticket local politics have reach£l a point of fever heat. The three old trustees, so far as we are able to learn, have not adopted any certain platform on which they ask the support of the legal voters of the village, while the three trustees running on the Citi­ zens' Ticket are making themselves understood that they are against the building of a sewerage system with­ out first consulting the voters of the village on the proposition. These three men feel that the property owners should be given an opportu­ nity to express themselves on any and all matters of such an important nature as the installation of a sewer­ age, \yhich will involve the expendi­ ture of thousands of dollars. That the race between the six can­ didates for the aldermanic chairs will be close and exciting no one is willing to deny. All candidates are making a quiet, but thoro, canvas of the voters of the village and judging from the interest that it has already created we predict a record-breaking vote next Tuesday. The two candidates for the office of village clerk, Wm. G. Schreiner and J. C. Holly, are both young and pro­ gressive men, either one of whom is capable in every way of discharging the duties connected with the office in a manner that will be satisfactory to everyone concerned. The Plaindealer is playing no fa­ vorites in the coming election and will leave it to the judgment of the voters of the village to decide who will occupy the four village offices during the coming two years. The place of voting will be at the village hall and the polls will be open from 7:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. m. The ladies will again be allowed to vote, which means that the candidates will have to treat them just as well as they do the men, as the women vote has come to be quite a factor in all political fights nowadays. Advertising For Help Elsewhere in this week's issue of The Plaindealer will be found an ad­ vertisement of the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co., in which they are advertising for help for their factory at Terra Cotta. From the advertisement we take it that pros­ perity has once more returned to this factory and those in McHenry who are out of employment will do well to place their applications at once. A number of our residents, who have been employed with the company dar­ ing the past few years, are well pleased with the work and with the treatment accorded them. Lost By Two Votes Chas. W. Gibbs, who resides a short distance south of this village, in Nunda township, came within two votes of winning the collectorship at the election held in Nunda township last week. There were twelve candi­ dates out for the place, but the real fight was betweei Mr. Gibbs and the winner, R. Johnstone. Mr. John­ stone received a total of 151 votes, while Mr. Gibbs received 149. His many friends in and ai*ound McHenry would have liked very much to see Chas. win out. Mission la Well Attended The. mission, which is being con­ ducted by the Rev. J. Benedict, C. P. P. S., of Collegeville, Ind., at St. Mary's church this week, is being very well attended. Masses ate be­ ing read at 5:30 and 8:30 each morn­ ing, while in the evening at 7:45 short devotion and sermon by the visiting pastor take place. Rev. Benedict is a very able speaker and his sermons thus far have received much favorable comment from those who have heard them. The mission will come to a close next Sunday. Wanted To let you know that I am now in line to do your paper hanging, cal- cimining and painting. R. I- Turner, West McHenry, 111. Phone 89-M. 43 Read The Plaindealer and keep post­ al PUBLIC HEARING WEDNESDAY Every Property Owner of the Village Should Attend Next Wednesday, April 19, at the houi* of two o'clock p. m., at the Cen­ tral opera house in this village a pub­ lic hearing on the proposed sewerage system will take place. Every property owner of the vil­ lage is deeply interested in this very important issue and it is needless for us to say that it will be to their ad­ vantage tq-t>e present and let them­ selves be heard. The resolution pertaining to the proposed improvement appeared in last week's issue of The Plaindealer. Copies of the resolution were also mailed out to every property owner of the village. This gives each and every one interested an opportunity to study the matter carefully and if in their opinion the proposed im­ provement isn't just as it should be or if they object to such an improve­ ment being made at this time it is upto them to attend the hearing and let their objections be known. The writer has heard considerable sewerage talk in the village during the past few weeks, both for and against, but we dare say that we have yet to hear a man or woman say that he or she is in favor of sew­ erage as outlined in the resolutions in last week's issue of The Plain- dealer. On the contrary, we have heard much adverse comment and if we are not badly in the wrong the public hearing of next Wednesday will bring forth some lively argu­ ments from those who are opposing said improvement. The hearing will be left in the hands of the board of local improve­ ments, which consists of Dr. D. G. Wells, Simon Stoffel and Wm. Simes. Baseball Talk The arrival of spring has once more started baseball talk among the lovers of the sport in and around McHenry and the question is ohce more being asked, "Will McHenry have a team this year?" The writer cannot answer this question at this time, MS he feels that it must be an­ swered by the business men and base­ ball fans in general. As everyone knows, it takes perfectly good money to operate a successful ball club in any town and McHenry is no excep tion to this rule. If those in favor of baseball are really sincere in their demands and are willing to do their share towards the financing of such a proposition we feel quite certain that McHenry will again be represented on the baseball diamond the coming summer, but on the other hand, if the fans are not sufficiently interested to lend their financial assistance it is a certainty that McHenry will be dead so far as the great national game is concerned. At the close of last sea­ son a very good suggestion was of­ fered' by one of the fans. The sug­ gestion was to the effect that a can­ vass of the fans, both ladies and gents, should be made and if it was found that at least 300 men's and 100 ladies' season tickets could be dis­ posed of a first-class ball club could be maintained here this summer. The gents' season tickets could be sold at $5.00, while a charge of.$3.00 would be made for the ladies. This would give the club $1,8GQ, which, we believe, would be sufficient to carry a team thru a successful season here in McHenry. Think it over, fans. Elected Trustee At the annual election held for the purpose at the village hall here last Saturday, Peter Smith of Johnsburg was elected township school trustee, he defeating E. A. Thomas by a vote of 99 to 34. In previous years the electing of a township trustee created very little interest, a dozen vote# be­ ing considered quite a turnout. The election Saturday brought out a big surprise when the Johnsburg candi­ date with his supporters appeared at the polls, and coming as they did they experienced very little trouble in electing their candidate. None In Mexico Since the trouble down in Mexico the question has been asked whether or not any of the McHenry boys, who joined the ranks of the United States army during the past two years, are now in service in the country trouble. So far as we are able to learn none of our boys are in Mexico at this time, altho one or two of them may see service down there unless the present trouble comes to an end at an earlier date than is now looked for. Move Into New Home We are in receipt of a letter from Chas. L. Willey of Chicago, in which he informs us that he has just moved into his new home at 7546 Evans Ave., and requests us to- send his paper to that address. Mr. Willey is known to a number of our readers, who will be pleased to know that he< is now enjoying the comforts of his new bo me. Before making any repairs on that roof consult the McHenry Ready Roofing company.
