In view of the fact that the nunes of two of our own jteople will appear oh the ticket on that day, the voters of the town will be particularly in­ terested and from now until the big day arrives friends of the candidates will be pulling hard for them to win. The two gentlemen we refer to are Walter J. Walsh, who resides south of town, and Jacob R. Justen, whose farm borders on beautiful Pistakee bay. Mr. Walsh is asking the Dem­ ocratic voters of the county of this, the eighth senatorial district, to make him the Democratic nominee for state senator, while Mr. Justen is ask- gin them to nominate him to the of­ fice of circuit clerk of McHenry coun­ ty. Both are active and successful young farmers and are well qualified for the honors they seek and we feel safe in stating that voters* of this locality will give them a big vote on primary day. - .. The ticket, as placed in' the field ahd endorsed by the McHenry coun­ ty Democratic committee, is as fol­ lows: Walter J. Walsh of McHenry, state senator; Chas. Hayes of Har­ vard, representative; Jacob R. Jus­ ten of McHenry, circuit clerk; Dr. Hepburn of Ringwood, county coro­ ner; J. E. Barber of Marengo, state's attorney; James D. Cunnin-^am of Harvard, county surveyor; M. J. Breen of Harvard, senatorial com­ mitteeman. V Every progressive Democrat in Mc­ Henry county is lending the candi­ dates his support and reports from headquarters are to the effect that the Democratic party of* the county as well as the senatorial district is going to spring a surprise at the coming primary. Chas. F. Hayes of Harvard believes that he has an excellent chance of landing the nomination of represen­ tative. The present inctambent, Thos. Graham of Ingleside, is again a can­ didate for the office, but, in view of the fact that he is opposed by two other men in his own county, things surely look good for the Harvard man. At leastr he never felt more confident of winning out than he does at this time. - Mr. Hayes has been a candidate for this office on three dif­ ferent occasions before and has lost out by narrow margins each tune. He is well known thruout the entire district and should give the present representative a good, hard run for the humors. - Will Open Office Here ' Jack Muessel, the steeple jack, who during the past several weeks' has done work on the steeples of St. John's church at Tbhnsburg as well as St. Mary's church in this village, has decided to make McHenry his fu­ ture headquarters and will open an office in this village at once. Mr. Muessel heretofore has worked out of Chicago, but since coming to this village he has taken a liking to Mc­ Henry, with the result that he has come to the decision to remain a res­ ident indefinitely. In speaking with the famous climber, a Plaindealer scribe was informed that it ia just as handy for him "to work out of Mc­ Henry aa it would be if he resided in Chicago. • - Col. Copley In Town Col Ira C. Copley of Aurora, can­ didate for congressman from this, the eleventh congressional district, was in town last Thursday, shaking hands with" friends and meeting the voters of the village.' Mr. Copley is aow serving the people of this district as congressman and we believe that the voters of McHenry and the imme­ diate vicinity are Veil satisfied with the service thus far rendered by the congressman- Ice Crean and Baaket Sftdal The Young Ladies' sodality of St. John's Catholic church of Johnsburg will hold an ice cream and basket so­ cial at the parish hall, Johnsburg, on Tuesday evening, August 15. Ladies are requested to bring baskets with lunch. Ice craani will served and the baskets will be auctioned off to the. highest bidders^ Everyone is cordially invited to attend. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES 5 m Hap Parka Passes Away Hap Parks, well and favorably known here, passed away at his honje^ at Crystal Lake Monday. He leaves one son at^d two sisters, fie w§s 9 nephew of Chas. P$rks of this vil­ lage and lived on a farm southwest of here practically §11 his life. He was engaged iq the real estate taai- ness at the time of his death- The party who accompanied Ben Stilling to New Rockford, Dakota, were Chas. Stephenson of Ringwood, Lew Wrede, Stephen H. Freund, Jake Justen and Henry Weber of McHen­ ry. They left Monda> night. - I *- • - -- - -- ^ Miscellaneous Assortment of New* Items In Condensed Form For Bus) People V The city of Crystal Lake is contem­ plating the insta)latk»n of a sewerage system. . V ~ ~ The Grayslake school building is being rebuilt to accommodate an in­ creased attendance. Grayslake now has but two hard­ ware stores, the third haling Closed its doors last week. ? , On account of the excessive heat, the Star moving picture theatre at Crystal Lake has been closed down for the month of August. » The leading merchants of Richmond •are now closing.their business places at six o'clock on Tuesday and Thurs­ day evenings of each week. The C. & N. W. Railway company's tool house at Crystal Lake was broken into one night last week and a quan­ tity of brass boxings was stolen. The.annual mission festival by the members of the Lutheran church of Crystal Lake will take place at Walk- up's grove, near that city, next Sun­ day. The Foulds Milling company, manu­ facturers of maccatoni, spaghetti, noodles, etc., will add a 100x150 foot addition to their factory at Liberty ville. The pea packing season at the Grayslake canning factory came to close on Monday of last week, 80,000 cases, or 2,000,000 cans, having been put up, which is about 30,000 cases in excess of last season's packing. The old Dorsey farm at Gilberts, recently transferred to J. F. Cooper of Chicago, is being converted into a horse ranch and clearing point for animals on the way to the European belligerents. The place has been sold to the wealthy horse commission merchant by J. H. Marks, who pur­ chased the Dorsey holdings last fall. The consideration is withheld. £oop- sr took possession recently and has put about 400 horses on the place. Plain are to make improvements and add to the buildings so that about 1,000 animals may be taken care of. The farm is being superintended by E. J. Foley. Cooper is one of the largest horse dealers in the country. He has clearing houses in Chicago and Omaha. His plan is to convert the Gilberts farm into a feeding place for his animals. He has been sup­ plying European belligerents with horses for more than a year and is now working on a larger order from the French government, Gives Up Mail Route John R. Knox, mail carrier on route No. 2, McHenry, has sent in his resignation after thirteen years of faithful service. The cause of this must be due to the increasing busi­ ness in his large garage near the river bridge and the attention de­ manded of him! in the many sales made during the entire year. A temporary successor is expected to be appointed at any time, while a per­ manent appointment will be forthcom­ ing. Six applicants were successful in passing the examinations at Wood­ stock some time ago. Among them were Albert Krause of this village and Harry Stephenson of Ringwood, the latter being assigned the Harvard rgut& § few weeks ago. V Breaks Arm On Monday afternoon Maurice Schreiner, the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G. Schreiner of this village, fell from the back porch at his home, severely injuring the left arm. Dr. A. I. Froehlich was called, who at once phoned Dr. NJ J. Nye for assistance. The little fel" low was taken to Woodstock on Tues­ day and an X-ray picture of the arm taken at the office of Dr. Windmuel- ler, which showed the humerus brok­ en in, three places. He is resting comfortably at this writing, but will be required to keep his arm in a sling for some weeks. Occupy Camp Pleasant Mrs. F. K.

Surprise Rotor Party John R: Knox, proprietor of the Star garage, furnished his seven pas­ senger Buick car, w^th a driver, for the enjoyment of the telephone oper­ ators on Friday evening of last week. They motored to Woodstock and took in the moving picture show before their return. This proved a very en­ joyable outing for the girls and the treat will not be forgotten by our efficient staff of operators, who fully and deeply appreciate the surprise planned by Mr. Knox. Cross Is Unveiled As. previously announced, on Sat­ urday afternoon last the steeple jack at work on St. Mary's church steeple unveiled the new cross and performed the stunt of sliding down a rope from the cross of the steeple to the ground, a distance of 145 feet. A crowd of a hundred people congregated at the church to witness this daring feat, while many from a distance used field glasses. It was far beyond any ircus performance we have ever witnessed. Sox at Lake (Geneva Manager Walsh wilh take his team to Lake Geneva, Wis., next Sunday afternoon, where they will tackle the fast Lake Geneva aggregation, which has lost but one or two games this .eason. McHenry's record is a clean |he and the boys will work hard to keep it such. Quite a number of the local fans are planning on making the trip to the famous Wisconsin resort to cheer the boys on to victory. Dance at Smith's Hall Manager Smith of Smith's hall, Johnsburg, announces that the next dance at his popular resort will take place on Wednesday evening, August 16, at which time he assures all those wl^o turn out one Of the most enjoy­ able evenings ever experienced at Johnsburg- Oeffling's orchestra will furnish the music fbr the occasion and dance tickets will be sold at 50 cents each. / .

Reports coming from out of town are to the effect that McHenry may expect a record breaking crowd and ararngements are now ujider Way to take care of all who may come. The Chicago team this year has an excellent chance of winning the American league pennant and some of the most reliable baseball critics "are of the opinion that when the cur­ tain is rung down in September the Sox will be found in the lead. This makes the team a particularly pop­ ular one wherever they appear and McHenry should be no exception, as the Sox fans in this section of the state are quite numerous. We are informed that most of the business men of the village have decided to close their respective places during the time that the game is in session.^ Most of the business men are baseball fans and they want to see the game. Two years ago when the Sox appeared in McHenry and again last year when the Chi­ cago Cubs were our guests the busi­ ness houses were closed and we feel sure that the, business men will again elose up shop and take in the game next Monday. The Chicago team will arrive on the 10:18 a. m. train and will be escorted to the Riverside House, where they will mfcke their headquarters while in McHenry. Owing to the fact that the Chicago boys are being worked to the limit and that the owner wishes to see them get all the rest that they possibly can, no spe­ cial . entertainment will be provided, altho the fans and players will give them a hearty welcome when they *r- rive. The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock and the prices of admission will be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Chapel Hill Country Club We are glad to learn that the Chapel Hill Country club has been started in good shape and is now an assured success. The golf course and tennis courts are improving every day and the members, with their guests, are taking full advantage of the opportunities offered. When this club was first proposed mtfny sup­ posed that the membership was to be limited to the residents and cottagers at Howell's Villas, but we are in­ formed by H. H. King, one of the officers, that this is not the case. The idea was originally, and is today, to make the club a community affair, the membership being open to resi­ dents o£ McHenry and to the cot­ tagers on the river and at Pistakee Bay. As evidence of this Mr. King points out the fact that of the three officers Of the club only one, A. W. Gast, the president, lives At the Vil­ las, the secretary, C. E. Reed, Jr., living at the German village and the treasurer some, two miles down the river, while T. J. Sullivan, one of the prominent members, has his sum- mgf home at Schaffer's Grove. The grounds of the club are located next to the Smith chapel on the Pistakee Bay road and are ideal for the game, being sharply rolling -4® character and calling for the best golf any player has at his disposal. A few of the charter memberships are still to be taken up, so there is an opportunity for some of our people to get in on the ground floor. The club will add much to the attraction of our com­ munity. Steps have been taken to ascertain whether or not McHenry wants to hear the famous Paulist choristers, w*io ar® ®ow camping in Crystal Lake. A soliciting committee will make the rounds among the people of McHen­ ry ahd the Bay. A men's committee will meet at St. Mary's rectory Fri­ day evening to discuss matters of transportation, place, date and ad­ vertising that will be necessary. In order to give the surrounding towns an opportunity to hear the world famed choristers, time and ad­ vertising is important Aug. 25 or possibly Sunday, 27th, are the dates under consideration. It would not be courteous to bring the famous band of singers to our town without an adequate remunera­ tion. The management conducting the camp at Crystal Lake has quite a problem to feed and provide for so many choristers and we understand that the outing fA August in Crystal Lake will cost something like $1200. To meet these obligations in some way the choristers are ready to ap­ pear in public occasionally. In order to remunerate the singers adequately and honorably the finan­ cial end in McHenry requires atten­ tion. An advance fund, consisting of charitable donations, will be neces­ sary to provide for emergencies. The ladies will distribute admission cards to all who donate to insure the com­ ing of the choristers. Both the baseball park and the city park have been proposed as the best places for the evening concert. But these minor questions will be decided by the men*s committee as soon as the todies report favorably. . f;'§§ LOTUS IN BLOOM Scores of People Visit Grass Lake " Beds Dally Attend School of InfttructffNiP A delegation of fourteen from the Fox River Valley camp attended the school of instruction and ritualistic work given at Elgin on Tuesday. All report a grand reception given them by the Elgin camps and much bene­ fit derived from both day and evening work, under the supervision of the officers from head camp. The trip was made in 'the Overton aj)d Cowen jitney bus and was thoroly enjoyed by all present. Barn Daace The Royal Neighbors of Fox Bivar Valley camp, No. 8251, are planning to hold a barn dance in the commod­ ious barn recently erected by F. H. Wattles on John street Remember the date, Saturday, August 12. Good music will be furnished. Hold Annual Pienic St Mary's Court of Foresters, No. 594, and St Clara's Court, No. 659, will hold their annual picnic at Co­ lumbia park, Johnsburg, Sunday, August, 13. All members are cor­ dially invited to attend. automobile parties are head­ ing toward the Fox lake region these days, for at Grass Lake and the Nip- persink may be seen three different beds of lotus in bloom instead of one which has previously attracted scores of people from distant . points each year- The increase in beds may be due, to boats trailing thru and carry­ ing the roots to proper seed beds, and thus they have multiplied until this year proves a sight of special beauty It is said that there is but one other in the United States that can rival the Lake county variety. This flower tfkes thousands to Japan every year, growing there in large numbers at the beds there. There is all convenience for the man or woman who wishes to hunt these blooms, the journey being made in launches by the botanist, awnings protecting him from the sun while making his researches. The lotus beds are one of the great­ est attractions in the lake district Opens Vulcanizing Shop John Stilling has rented the Over­ ton garage building on Pearl street, formerly occupied by the Star garage, and on Monday morning.of this week opened a vulcanizing shop therein. McHenry thus far has been without an exclusive vulcanizing shop and the new place will, no doubt, fill a long-ftelt want Shops of this kind have been conducted in ̂ most of our neighboring towns for some time past and now that McHenry has fallen in line with other progressive cities local auto owners as well as tourists are sure to benefit by this" convenience. Mr. Stilling informs us that his equip­ ment is of the very latest and best type that money can buy and that he guarantees satisfactory work. His equipment is such that he is able to take care of all sorts of vulcanizing, both casings and inner . tubes, and those having work in his line will do well to gjfve this young mjUi a trial. Work Progressing Work on the foundation f o f the new sisters' residence is progressing fine. The village committee has held two meetings in regard to the home and every contractor in the .village is busy figuring on the job. Figures are expected to J>e returned by Mon­ day. M. J. Freund finished excavat­ ing and the Artificial Stone company is at work on the foundation. Rev. Fr. Berthold received good news front the mother superior at Milwaukee to the effect that excellent teachers will be sent here in the event of a new home being provided, which could not otherwise be expected. Everything is harmonious and the pastor and his congregation are working hand in hand to rush the home to completion for occupancy the coming winter.
