MARRIED ENTERTAINED A Urge Crowd at Their Masquerade Last Thursday Evening The married men's annual masquerade dance as given at Stoffel's hall" last Thursday evening proved one of the most enjoyable events of the kind at that place in recent years. The crowd also wa,s one of the largest that has gathered here in a long time. All told eighty dance tickets and one hundred and thirtyone spectators' tickets were disposed of during the evening, making the •total receipts of che occasion $103.30. As mentioned in the columns of The Plaindealer last week, the net proceeds, amounting to $64.55, will be turned over to the McHenry chapter of the American Red Cross society, and those responsible for the event are to be congratulated upon placing the funds to the credit of such a worthy organization. The event brought out many beautiful as well as grotesque costumes and we dare say that the dancers enjoyed themselves most thoroly. One of the features of the occasion was the exceptionally large turnout of Carried folks, who appeared to enjoy the event fully as much, as did the younger generation. Air in all, the occasion proved one of much merriment and reflects credit upon those responsible for the event. Thru the courtesy of Postmaster E. E. Bassett of the West McHenry offifce we are able to publish a complete financial statement of the event, which follows: Receipts . 80 dance tickets at 80c each. .$ 64.00 ldl apectators' tickets at 80c. 39.30 Total receipts. . .$103.30 Expenses Music (four pieces) 20:00 Hall rent 10.00 Ticket, office and checking.... 6.00 Printing ... i' .% „ • 2.75 Total expense..^*$.38.75 [Bai. turned over to Re^ fSwis. $64.55 Town Caucus March 15 The annual town caucus for the township of McHenry will be held at the village hall here on Saturday, March 15.

Freund, the present incumbent, and who has so faithfully and satisfactorily served the township in this capacity during the past few terms, again seeks the honor and respectfully asks the voters of the town to support him at the coming primary. A§, far as we are able to learn Mr. Freund is the only candidate to announce himself and whether or not he will hava opposition remains to be seen. Church Choir Entertains The members of St. Mary's church choir of this village very pleasantly entertained a happy crowd at cards and bunco at the McHenry House parlors last Sunday evening. The winners at cards were: First, Miss Kathryn Blake; second, Miss Gertrude Weber. - At bunco Mrs. N. J. J us ten won first prise and Leo Heimfcr, second. Delicious refreshments were served by the young ladies at the close of the games and all present left for their homes feeling that they had been shown a most pleasant evening at the hands . of the young folks of St. Mary's. Village Election April IS The annual village election this year will be held on Tuesday, April 15. Those wishing to beedtae candidates for the offices to be filled must have their petitions filed with the village clerk at least fifteen days prior to that date. This year there are three aldermen to be elected on the West Side of town and a mayor from the East Side. While various rumors have been circulating within the village limits of late, we have not learned of any definite slate. However, the big fight is sure to begin within thje course pf t^M nen|'|^w weeks. Moved to Spring Grove Mr. and Mrs. Math. Schaefer, wfoo have been residing on the Ed, Knox farm south of this viiiage, were tendered tc farewell surprise at their home on Friday evening of last week by a number of their neighbors and friends. Games were enjoyed during the evehing and at a late hour refreshments, furnished by the guests, were served, after which all departed for their homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Schaefer success in their new place of abode. Mr. and Mrs. Schaefer moved to Spring Grove on Saturday, where they will reside in the future. Physician Moves Olce Dr. A. I.

Ben Silver, Harvard junk' dealer, who was convicted, in the McHenry county court on five counts and was given a sentence of 150 days in jail and a fine of $500 and costs, has also lost out before.the supreme court, to which the case was carried. He was convicted at Woodstock during the early winter of 1917. The charge was for violating the local optiop law. Harold.

The confirmation of the death of Corporal Chas. F. Geske, born and raised in this village, is contained in the following letter from his chaplain, William E. Patrick, .Jto John Baron of Glen Ellyn, who is a brother- in-law to the deceased: ' Yallendar, Jan. 27, 1919. Mr. J.ohn B^rop, " ^Glen Ellyn, OL r" Mr. Dear Mr. Baron--I have your letter of Dec. 18, 1918, in regard to, Jthe death of Corp. Chas. F. Geske, Co. I, 28rd Infantry. Corp. Geske was killed on Oct. 4> 1918, duripg the advance on Blase Mont in the Champagne sector, France, This attack was one of "the hardest fought engagements in which the second division shared; as the Germans were abh> to fire upon us from three sides, this because of the failure of French divisions on our right and left to advance as rapidly as our division. The casualties were terrific. In the 23rd infantry alone the casualties totaled forty officers and over a thousand men. I buried Corp. Geske together with two other brave lads from Co. I, Sergt George Morgan and Corp. John* Heine. The grave is located above Medeah farm, six kilometers north of Somme-Py, »• ranee. On the evening of Oct. 9, after a week of constant and nerve racking shell ffre the 23rd infantry was finally relieved. In the excitement of being relieved a bag containing the personal effects of eleven men whom I buried that day were left behind and never recovered. Corp. Geske's effects were among thf number. This is a loss with which I shall always reproach myself, for I know how the bereaved families appreciate the npte book, intimate tamily pictures, etc., usually found on a soldier who is killed in action. Geske was highlyregarded by both the officers and the men of his company. Not long before the Champagne battle he had been made a corporal. The fact that he had not been a corporal long woulS perhaps account for he being reported as only a private by the war department. As I lost a brother on the field of battle, I know something of what such a break in the family circle means, but G^d has not given us the power to choose whose son or brother must die. F^or the sake of mankind's future, it seemed neces sary.for many men to die. If from the blackness of the last few years a just and abiding peace comes, the'n the sacrifices of youi; brother-in-law and of thousands of other brave men will not have died in vain. Let me assure jtour wife and Corp. Geske's other sisters and brothers of my deepest sympathy, I have just written to one brother, Sergt. Walter Geske. Sincerely yours, William E. Patrick, Chaplain 23rd Inf. A Correction In the article which appeared in the columns of The Plaindealer last weak captioned "Holstein Breeders of the%County Organize" quite a serious error occurred. Instead of saying encouraged cow testing associations, our type made it read discouraged. The Plaindealer humbly wishes to apologize for the error and hopes that there isn't a farmer in this locality who feels that we are trying to discourage anything that is to thair benefit, for we want it expressly understood that The Plaindealer* is with the dairymen and farmers and is always ready to as* sist them in any manner possible. Large Crowd Attends Masquerade The largest crowd that has attended a dance in McHenry in recent years was present at the ' masque ball given by the McHenry Pleasure club at the Central opera house on Monday evening of this week. Wo were informed that there were at least five hundred people in the hall. Over 130 dance and 200 spectators' tickets were sold. The Plaindealer was unsuccessful in its attempt to secure the prize winners. We are informed by a member of the club that it has b£en decided to make this an annual event in the future. As a result of the dance the club cleared over $108. ' ~ EVERETT TALKING MACHINE TO BE MANUFACTURED IN Me- HENI*Y\" • Will Soon Be Machine--Mr. ;ir Hunter Boat Factory Turning ' Oat New Hunter Interviewed Two More Soldiers Home Martin (Happy) Weber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Weber, returned to his home here Wednesday of this week after a long stay overseas. Mr. Weber saw several months' service at the front and was both gassed and wounded. We hope to give out readers a story of this young hero's experiences in a later issue of ^he Plaindealer. Fred Schoewer, sop. of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schpewer, has also returned horn^ from overseas service, arriving in McHenry last Frifrt' ' filttii* Brandt fee B«B»e The work pf filling the Brandt ice houses at McCoUum's lake was started the first of the week, but on acpapnt pf the weather and poor condition of Hie Ice there has been more « iaaa tteo feat since th««u • It will undoubtedly come as a very pleasant surprise to the people of McHenry and readers of The Plaindealer to learn that McHenry is soon to be given a new manufacturing concern, or, rather, a new line to be manufactured by a concern that is now and has been doing business in McHenry during the past several y e a r s . . " . We refer to !*feur local boat manutacturing plant, which is soon to be equipped to manufacture both boats and talking machines. We have in our hands a communication from the Everett; Hunter Boat company, whi^h explains the ne^ venture fully and most explicitly First of all, the • name will be changed from the one which has ften used during the past several years and will in the futuf*e be known as the Everett 'Hunter Manufacturing company. The company's new line of ngfttiufacture will be talking machines and cabinets, which will be placed on the market and "known as the "Everett' Talking Machine. ThVse machines will also be built in the period^ case designs to harmonize with modern home interiors. Many designs have been takerf from historic pieces well known to furniture connoisseurs. The importance of this pronounced artis tic advance in case design is emphasized by reasonable pricing, which will cost no more than the ordinary phonograph in conventional cases. Their beauty will be enhanced by exquisite finish, in regular genuine solid mahogany, walnut, quartered and plain oak, and to introduce these machines Mr. Hunter will offer first to the people of this immediate vicinity wonderful bargains for a short period, after which he expects to adopt and market the product thru the regular agency channel, as all other companies do, in either cash or deferred payments. So all may enjoy these high-grade instruments, as each machine will carry a personal expression. Regarding the motors for these machines, the company is permitted to work under well known patents, which are recognized thruout the musical world as the most silent, reliable and dependable motors made in this country. No piece of mechanism produced, not even a watch, is called upon to meet so many exacting and practical requirements as a phonograph motor. It has not only to meet the demands of the laws of mechanics, but also the still more rigid demands of the laws of music. It must be miraculously precise and delicate in its operation, and yet must be able to endure the handling of the most inexperienced person. For satisfactory musical reproduction the motor must turn with absolute perfect rhythm. A shade of hesitation throws the music entirely off key and the rendition is spoiled. Absolute perfection of speed regulation is therefore imperative. Silent in operation is another important point These are only a few of the many unrelenting specifications imposed, upon the motor which the local concern has successfully devoted its efforts. Coupled with these facts and counting Mr. Hunter's thirty years' experience in the manufacturing line, in the production of high-grade boats of every description, it is really experience that counts. Clever designs, pood material, able workmen are important, but it is long experience which welds all these elements together and gives the final perfection to the product This we consider is the reason for Mr. Hunter's success in the boat building industry, which has brought the local man to be recognized as the foremost authority of the designs of launches suitable for shoal *water. Today this same factory is able to turn out phonographs that will be second to none and a great deal better than many. As a logical further advance Mr. Hunter has entered into a co-operative arrangement with two leading phonograph companies in the East, with whom he has been interested in the past four or five years, and spent considerable time studying their product and receiving the benefit of their long experience in this particular line, which finally caused Mr. Hunter to decide to go into this new line, for surely anyone at a" glance can easily see that a firm equipped the way,the McHenry concern is and used to the difficult process of building hulls in all the leading and well known hardwoods is particularly adppJted to make a grand ' success in ift^ new line. Another reason which brought the local concern to this final conclusion the fact that the machinery for ie Observed at St. Patrick's Church In This Village During the holy season of Lent the special services in St. Patrick's church will be held on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 7:30 o'clock. On Tuesday evening the devotions will consist of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, sermon and benediction of the blessed sacrament. Friday, in place of the sermon, the Stations of the Cross will be said. e The prograjh of sermons will be as follows: General subject,' "The Marks of the True Churoh." 1.

The world of business uses trade marks to protect itself and its customers against misrepresentation of rival business enterprises. The church of Christ has its own trade marks, given her by her Divine Founder. What these marks are and how they may'be recognized is the purpose of the sermons to demonstrate. If you are interested to know the trade marks of the greatest business, in the world, you are cordially invited to tthe several instructions. War Hero at Universalist Church Lieut. M. L. Aldridge, who was with a machine gun .company in one of the first divisions of the American forces-to go into action in France, will spealf at the Universalist church Sunday, March 9, at 11 a. m.
