Chesnut of Woodstock were week end guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George The teachers and pupils of the McHenry public school invite you to attend their exhibit in the respective' rooms of the building on Friday, May 2. The work of compiling and ar ranging' the, various exhibits has been under way for some time past and, according to reports from those who are in a position to know, the exhibit this year gives promise of surpassing anything of the kind ever seen in McHenry. The work of the entire school will be laid out before the visitors in an elaborate form and those interested in school work (and this we should all be) will be given the opportunity of seeing just what has been accomplished in our school during the year, which is soon to come to a close. The board of education as well as the able corps of teachers and the pupils' are very anxious to have you visit the school on this afternoon and evening and assure you that you will never have cause to Missj regret the trip. The program will take pla<!e in the school auditorium in the evening, at which time another rare treat is in store for our peoplfe. The program follows: • Introductory Folk Danceit ....Room I 'CROWNltfft THF/ MAY QUEEN" A Spectacular Play Rooms II and III Scene 1--May-pole drill, etc. Scene II--A wood. Children asleep on ground.

Hayes, who on April 1 entered upon his new duties as editor of the poultry department of the Dakota Farmer, . published at Aberdeen, Si D., arrived here last Saturday evening and since that time has been busy packing up his household effects preparatory to moving his family to the West, where he will make his future home. Mr. Hayes, while a caller at this office yesterday, expressed himself as well pleased with his new position and surroundings. The position carries with it a very nice salary and came to him in recognition of the excellent service tendered the government while employed as a poultry expert in the great Northwest. While our people will be sorry to lose this enterprising young man and his estimable family, the heartiest wishes for success and further advancement will accompany them to their new home. They expect to leave for the West next Sunday evening. \ •Heyers. Miss Ella Newman is spending the . /•eek as a guest in the home of her brother, Charles, and family at v Woodstock. Mrs. P.

Wauconda has given up, for the time being at least, the hope of securing another factory for that village. According to the McHenry county agents for the machine, there are now 55,000 Fordson tractors in use in America. Hebron bears the distinction of being the first town in McHenry county to subscribe her quota to the victory loan, she going "over the top" on Wednesday of last week. Hgr quota was $53,000. The Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chicago has just increased its land holdings near Libertyville, intended for a site for a seminary, to 700 acres, by the purchase of 200 acres from the estate of A. F. Sheldon. ^ The Knights of Columbus of Waukegan have purchased the Schwarts theatre-hotel building in that city, which is to be used for a community house for Catholics. The hotel investment represents more than $100,000. The Inderrieden Canning company of Grayslake last week started the planting of 1,000 acres of peas. Five hundred acres of corn will also be planted later in the season The Tfatary has decided to publish as honor roll in the columns «f The Plaindealer at the close of the i drive, publishing the names of all subscribers and the amount that each subscribed.

SENIOR CLASS OF 'IS Very Creditably Presents Class |||| to Large Audience Every seat in the McHenry public school auditorium was taken, while standing room was at a premium Thejlast Friday evening, the occasion of crop is slightly larger than the one planted last year. A new engine at tkar light and power plant, interior decorations at the opera house, better sidewalks and grading and improving main l'oads into Woodstock are among the civic improvements to be made by Mayor Olmstead of the Typewriter city. The Richmond Gazette is among the very latest McHenry county papers to announce an increase in its subscription rates from $1.50 to $2.00 per year. The small country publishers are beginning to realize that the old rate was all right twenty-five y^ars ago, but times have changed since then.

According to reports from the Lake county metropolis he is the first of his race to be sent to Joliet from that city. Still Looking For Help , McHenryites employed at the Terra Cotta factory inform us that the help there is being secured very slowly. The company, they inform us, is paying good wages and, according to the present outlook, there will be steady employment for a long time to come. Most of the McHenry people who were employed at the factory before the war are now employed at Woodstock and the two milk bottling plants here and at Ringwood. It is doubtful if any of these rpen are willing to give up motored over from the county ^ their Present jobs to retwn to Terra UIfrsstt SSaattuurrddaayy eevveetniiinhgg and called Cotta, altho the scale of wages of- McHenry relatives, j Mrs. Wm.

Misses Mamie and Nettie Deady, Raymond Deady and Raymond McCarthy of Chicago were week end quests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Knox. ^ F.

Short Term Licenses We are told that all of the saloon keepers except one have taken out a short term license, which means that they have bee" granted permission to operate their respective places of business i during the months of May and June. Should the law prohibiting the operating of saloons after July 1 become effective on that date McHenry will be found with a number of empty buildings, but there are still quite a number here who refuse to believe that the saloons will be put out on that date. Time will tell. "Way Down East" The Young Ladies' sodality Of St. Mary's church has arranged with Mr. Harry Choate to stage and produce, with some of our best local talent, the above great four act rural drama on or about May 15. Re hearsal^ have already commenced and the prospects are that it will be one of the best and greatest home talents ever produced in McHenry. So all can look forward to a great dramatic event. - Community Dance ' The regular community dance will be held at the Genoa Junction opera house Friday evening, May 2. Music by Ed. Smith's orchestra. Dance tickets, 75 cents; spectators, 15 cents. G. J. Stradinger, Manager ^ the class play by the seniors of the McHenry high school. "The Camouflage of Shirley," a4! up-to-the-minute war drama, was' the play presented and, to say the least, the audience was more than pleased with the mant^er in which the play was "put over." All of the leading characters carried their roles in a distinct and dignified manner, while the minor parts were taken equally as well. The Plaindealer will refrain from giving individual mention lest we might thereby slight some character. However, we feel we are not slighting any of the class when we give j special mention to the two fun-producers, not members of the class, who appeared in a vaudeville sketch between acts. We refer to Miss Jennie Mae Cooley and Frank Gans, whose very latest do credit to many a professional performer. Their efforts were met with such a storm of applause that they were forced to make a second and third j appearance before the footlights. Frank Nimsgern, one of this locality's most enterprising farmers, has just installed a fine water system on his' place near Solon Mills. By the aid of this system water is pumped into his residence, barn and other buildings, while the stock is supplied by means of water bowls. Two sparkling springs furnish the water for the system, which is entirely automatic and requires no. attention. The war department has just issued eighteen carrier pigeons to the Northwestern Military and Naval academy at Lake Geneva. Warning has been sent out since the arrival of the pigeons lest they be shot. These birds are very valuable, some having records vof over 1,000 miles. Should one of them be shot kindly notify the Lake Geneva institution, giving them the number that will be found attached to the leg. When a ^use, which he had lighted to set off a stick of dynamite, failed to do its work, Matthew Schmars, a farmer of Riley township, McHenry county, knelt down to relight it, when an unexpected explosion took place, cutting and bruising his face and body terribly. This occurred last Thursday noon and the following day he was removed to St. Joseph's hospital at Elgin, where he passed away that evening. The unfortunate victim had been blasting stumps. Five Hebron men went to Twin Lakes, Wis., a week ago last Sunday and returned home that afternoon in an intoxicated condition. Complaint was at once made to the state's attorney, who caused them to appear before Judge Barnes at Woodstock on Wednesday afternoon of last week. A fine of $25.00 and costs was assessed against each of the five. The fine, together with the costs, amounted to $42.95. Considering the price of intoxicants the "jag'sV were very expensive. V A racing car, formerly driven by Bob Bumam, the speed marvel, is now owned by Mike Andrieux and Hale Mershon, two Hebron young men. The machine is credited to have made 120 miles an hour on a race course in California and is geared to run not less than forty miles per hour. The machine is equipped with a Wisconsin 100 h. p. motor. Whenever the boys take the car out for a spin, the machine is towed out of the city limits. The boys expect to «hter the Elgin road races the coming The entire occasion was indeed a most entertaining one and the class, the vaudeville artists and the efficient directress, Miss Blanche Pryor, are to be congratulated for the efforts set forth. Since last Friday eveninr there have been so many requests for a reproduction of the entertainment that the class has finally decided to grant them and their second appearance will be on Saturday evening of next week, May 10. Those who failed to see the play last Friday evening should surely avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing it next Saturday night. Pleasantly Surprised A company of their friends called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. L. Hayes on Green street and tendered that couple a very agreeable surprise on Monday evening of this week. The surprise was one of the most complete perpetrated here in a long time. When the guests arrived they found Mr. and Mrs. Hayes buried in work and their home all torn up preparatory to their leaving for their new home at Aberdeen, S. D. After the shock of the unexpected arrival of their guests had passed by and apologies for the condition in which they found the popular couple and their home, arrangements for their entertainment wm soon made. Bunco furnished the evening's chief diversion and after a few social hours had been spent in this manner refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, were served. At,a late hour the gathering broke up and, after congratulating the victims of the surprise on the manner of entertainment and wishing them happiness in their new home, all departed for their homes. Alfred Richardson In New York Alfred Richardson, former McHenry high school football and basket ball star and an idol of the fans here, arrived in New York last Saturday from overseas service. Mr. Richardson was a member of the marine and fell in one of the first battles last July. He lost a foot at the time and up to the tinjie of his sailing for home was confined, in a hospital. At the present time ne jtk at the Naval hospital at Brooklyn, but expects to be .home on % furlough' soon. Let us test and inspect your slnM age "battery.free of charge. , >lWkr * Jbrnif*. VICTORY LOAN IS LAGGING VOLUNTEERS SUBSCRIBE TO $19,000 WORTH OF BONDS Tongue Lashers Are Busy --McHenry Is Still Below $2S,«M With $55,000 as the Goal With the Victory loan drive more than half over and with McHenry still short of the half-way goal, Chairman W. F. Vogt and his workers are beginning, to feel concerned over the final result. For tile reason that some of the people of the township saw fit to censure the committee on its manner of putting McHenry over on past drives of this nature, it was decided, previous to the opening of the present drive, to try out the volunteer plan, which was don^ last week. Open house for volunteering subscriptions to the present loan was kept at the village hall all last week, with the result that something like $19,000 in subscriptions were taken in^ considerably below the expectations of the local organization. Thus it has been proven to the "kickers and fault finders" that voluntary subscriptions wouldn't get us anywhere and the former plan of going out after them has once more been adopted and will be carried out until the end of the drive, Saturday, May 10. Chairman Vogt informed a Plaindealer reporter on Wednesday of this week that the laboring class, as in previous loans, is responding nobly to the cause, while those, from whom larger subscriptions are expected, are holding back. Unless some very effective work is accomplished between now and Saturday night the first of the coming week will find McHenry still below the $25,000 mark, while our quota is $55,205. A number of the workers, who accomplished so much in previous drives, seem to have lost heart, brought about by the malicious tongues of some. It seems that these men, and, thank heavens, we have but a few in McHenry, have found nothing but fault with the work of these committees. Everything that was said and done by these workers was all wrong, and, really, these poisonous tongue-lashers feel that an injustice has been done them because they have been FORCED to do their duty. The results thus far achieved in the present drive should be ample proof to the public that nothing but hard work will put McHenry over the top and, while it had been the aim of the committee to leave ft to the conscience of the buyers to once more put McHenry over the top, it now looks as if the committee will again be forced to adopt the old method of going after the subscriptions with hammer and tongs. This is anything but a pleasant piece pf work for those who have been called upon to do the work and once more The Plaindealer urges those who have not been solicited to come forward with their subscriptions. This is a plain American duty which is expected of each and everyone of us. Whyvpttt it iff any longer? At Ringwood, we are told, the voluntary plan brought forth $18,000 in subscriptions, while the Johnsburg committee reports the sale of nearly $12,000 worth of bonds in this manner. Now, what's the matter with McHenry? Have Ttre lost our patriotism since the last drive? It rather looks that way. The job is not completed and will not be completed until McHenry has gone over the top for a fourth time apd this must be accomplished, if at all, between now and a week from next Saturday night. Will McHenry lay down on the job at this hour and have it said that our village has failed to do its duty? We sincerely hope not, but in order to close the present campaign with a clean slate subscriptions must come in at a more lively rate than has been so far experienced. To those who came forward with their voluntary subscriptions the local chairman and his committee feel truly grateful and it is hoped that their example will act as an inspiration for those who have yet to place their subscriptions. A number of canvassers have been busy since Monday morning and the work will continue until May 10. Those who have not placed their subscriptions will be doing the workers a great favor by leaving same with the local chairman, W. F. Vogt, who will be found* at the West Side drug store. In Honor of Our Mothers The Methodist church invites all the friends to join in the special service next Sunday as a tribute to our mothers. Sunday school will be as usual at 10:00 a. m. In the service that follows at 11:00 a. m. the pastor's subject will be "Mothers and the Nation." All are tordially invited. -Us Held at Woodstock Armory Next Sunday Afternoon Next Sunday promises to be one of the biggest days for the> Knights of Columbus of McHenry county that they have ever experienced, for on that day the largest single class of candidates ever taken into the order will be initiated at the spacious armory at Woodstock. According to information at hand the armory will be none too large for the occasion, as every council in McHenry county will have a class of candidates, while visiting Knights from many cities and towns are expected to be in attendance. The McHenry council has a large class ready. These candidates will be given their first degree at Stoffel's hall this (Thursday) evening. The work will be put on by a team from the Woodstock council and will be followed by , a luncheon. This class will be taken over to Woodstock next Sunday afternoon, where, with the balance of the candidates of McHenry county, they will be given their second and third degrees. The McHenry candidates will leave the local K. of C. hall at 12:30 o'clock. It is expected that from 75 to 100 members of the McHenry council will accompany the local candidates over to the county seat. As stated fa these column^ a few weeks agb, the slogan among the K. of C. is to double their membership within a year and every council is laboring towards this ei..l. "A PAIR OF SIXES" The Flora DeVoaa Cot at the Central Sunday Evening The ever popular Flora DeVoss company will be with us for one night, next Sunday evening, at the. Central opera house. Mr.- Rotnour, the manager, announces the farcical play of "A Pair of Sixes," in which Miss DeVoss will personally appear, assisted by a cast of eleven players. "A Pair of Sixes" is a glootn dispeller from start to finish and an all around, truly "glad" comedy. Mr. Rotnour and his company are just returning from the west, where they have been an winter, and report a record breaking business everywhere. Between acts high-class vaudeville will be introduced by Carl Adamson, who introduces a characteristic Indian specialty, wearing a real Indian costume, beaded by a Navajo Indian woman, which represents the work of months; Miss Helen Howarth, lyric soprano, who sings high C with ease, and Wayne Kirke, comedian, are among those who entertain between acts. The usual scale of popular prices will prevail with the advance sale of tickets' now selling. Telephone orders accepted. Heme Improvement Club Meets Miss Eva Blair, county advisor for the Home Improvement club, presided at the regular meeting held at the public school building on Wednesday afternoon of last week. The meeting was not largely attended, but those present felt that it was time well spent. Planning of meals and a balanced ration was discussed, also the properties of foods and food values. Future need of an expert knowledge of the subject is foreseen by members of the club. Victory Loan Sunday The government asks that next Surtday, May 4, be observed thruout the nation as "Victory Loan Sunday." Each clergyman in McHenry township -is thus asked to make the subject of the Victory Loan a part of his sermon on that day. Th<\ clergymen of McHenry township have always responded to Uncle Sam's wishes most willingly and thus it is needless for us to point out to them the im portance of the subject at this time. Boys and Gifls, Attention! All boys and girls interested in club work will meet at the city hall on Thursday evening of next week, May 8, at 8:00 o'clock, at which time T. H.

Mrs. Marion Wood burn has moved from the Rollin Babcock cottage en Main street to the Carey brick building on the same street. The cottage made vacant is again to be occupied, by the owner and his family. McHenry at this time is feetim the need of one or two more prfper hangers. A number of our people who have work of this kind to be doiw are finding it next to impossible to secure anyone to do the work.

This is the first disturbance that lias come to our attention for a long time» which seemingly indicates that tie war rulings haven't taken all of the tight out of the flowing bowl. Mr. and Mrs. A.
