A large crowd of young folks attended the dance held at Stoffel's hall last Saturday evening. It was the biggest and best dance held at the hall this season. G. E. Schoel has moved his family from the flat over the C. Unti ice cream parlor to the flat over the McHenry bakery. The change was made the first of the week. Quite a number of resorters were disappointed to find the famous Stillin* hotel at Pistakee Bay closed. From all indications at this time the hotel will not be opened this season. The McHenry Artificial Stone & Construction Co. has had many compliments extended its way for the neat job done on the McHenry House. The application of keMastone has made a wltaderful change in tfre appearance of this popular hostelry. The new time schedule over the C. & N. W. railroad became effective last Sunday. Travelers should bear this fact in mind and provide themselves with the latest time card, which can be had fbr the asking at the local station or the Chicago terminal. In spite of the fact that carpenters are unobtainable in McHenry at this time, Contractor S. H. Preund is making good progress at St. Mary's church. This week the floor is being laid in the balcony and doors are being fitted. Mr. Freund is being assisted by Chris Smith, while John Neiss is engaged in painting. Gilbert Howard acted as a special policeman during the fatter part of last week, when there were so many visitors in our town. While the village board does not mistrust these people who come here for a few days' outing, they feel that it is well to be prepared for any emergency, and thus the hiring of the "special" for the few days. Another new cottage is going up at Sunnyside Beach on the east shore of Fox river, south of this village. This shore is undergoing extensive improvements. The homes are mbstly of a substantial nature and, while a few mere shacks are also to be found here, these are gradually being remodeled into neat summer cottages. There is more life along this particular shore this spring than ever before. John R. Brents, who during the past few weeks has made his home at the county hospital at Hartland, was removed to the soldiers' home at Quincy, 111., the first of the week, where he will remain indefinitely. While he was perfectly willing to remain at Hartland, his feeble condition had made him quite a care and therefore the change to the home for old veterans, where he will be given the very best at the command of the attendants. One of the classiest machines seen in a long time is being piloted about town by Frank Justen. Altho the car does3 not weigh over a thousand pounds, its owner claims to be able to drive it at a speed of over 70 miles per hour on our country roads with ease and she has the looks for all that her driver claims for it. Mr. Justen informs us that he has con tracted for a high powered speed machine and therefore will have to dispose of either the above car or his Studebaker touring car. See our classified ads< McHenry entertained the largest Decoration day crowd that has visited this village in years. There were mote automobile tourists in the village on that day than on any pre vious memorial day in our history. All of the hotels and restaurants took can* of big crowds for dinner and supper, while cottage owners and friends were out in big numbers. Many of the out-of-town people remained over for the w6ek end and that all did hot come via automobile manifested itself by the fact that two specials) left McHenry on Sunday evening, one of which was made up here. It is safely estimated that several hundred came in by train for a week end stay. Rev. Edw. Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church here, announces the raffle of a $60 Everett phonograph, donated to the pariah by Everett Hunter, president of the manufacturing company bearing his name. The machine is given in place of the boat which" was offered last year and upon yrtiich several numbers had already been sold, but on account of the fire the raffle was dropped at that time. The phonograph is more valuable than the boat and no doubt will be much more appreciated by the winner. Tickets on the musical instrument will be sold immediately and the raffle will take place just as soon as all tickets are taken. ROLL OP HONOR MAN Such Is Sergt. William Jetwaburg AttMT af That McHenry township /will hare at least on roll of honor man, Who has seen service in the late war, became known this week, when Surgt William Althoff of Johnsbtirg received his official notification ;that bis Ma* ^Vl" ' ^ VHURSDAY, JUNC l j , Gloria Swansea -IN- Every WMBM'S HASBMD SATURDAY. JUNE 7 A TRIANGLE FEATUftB . Crane Wilbur IN •I'Rreezy Jnf «•'» ii "* T SUNDAY, JUNES A FOX FEATURE William Farcum ----IN---- -- "tke Plmdtm" name will be inscribed on the roll of honor of the Prairie division, of which he was a member. The Johnsburg brave was in the thick of the battle during the latter part of the war and his recognition of bravery came as the result of his heroism on the night of Oct. 8, 1918. On this particular night a call came for a volunteer to take out a night patrol and Mr. Althoff consented to perform this dangerous piece of work. He set out with twenty men besides himself. He sent eight of these men to the left of him and eight to the right, while four remained with him to give orders to the men on either side. After the patrol had gone a considerable distance they were discovered by the Germans, who opened up their guns on them. All fell to their hands and knees and started to crawl back to their lines and on their arrival there the Johnsburg young man found that only three of the original twenty-one men had returned, the balance having been killed by the enemy's bullets. The official notification, as received by Mr. Althoff, reads as follows: The 38rd Division, A. E, F. Sergt. William Althoff, Co. C, 130th Infantry The reports of your regimental commander and of the commanding general of the 65th brigade testify to your gallantry and splendid performance of duty at Bois-De-Lacote Leihont on Oct. 8, 1919. Your con. duct on that occasion has afforded me genuine gratification and I have, ac cordingly, directed that your name and action be inscribed on the roll of honor of the Prairie division. Geo. Bell, Jr., Maj. Gen. Commanding 33rd Div. The above deed also entitles the Johnsburg young man to a medal, which will follow in due time. Mr. Althoff was quite severely gassed while in action in France, which left him in a very bad condition. In fact, he is at the present time planning on returning to an army hospital, where he hopes to be cured of his ailment. The gas was of the mustard variety and the flesh of his lower limbs was literally eaten away at the time, jle was taken to the army hospital in Prance immediately after being gassed ahd remained under the care of army physicians and nurses up to the time he was sent back to this country. On landing in the east he contracted diphtheria and this again sent him to the hospital in this country, where he remained until strong enough to be sent to his home. Mr. Althoff has promised to write a letter to The Plaindealer telling in his own way the experiences he had while on the battle front and we hope to receive this for some near future issue. 1 %'• ' >' f- Ofe'j.V 'itf ELIABLE statistics indicate that all appalling, percentage of all poople who go into business fail - within 20 years.

The deceased was born at Johnsburg on Feb. 2, 1872, and was fortyseven .years old at the time of her death. She has been at the Elgin institution for a number of years and for Rome time past her health has been on the decline and when pneumonia set in her condition had become such that there wasn't any vitality left to withstand the dreaded disease. She leaves three sisters and two brothers to mourn, as follows. Mrs. J. H. Kennebeck of this village; Mrs. John Lenzen of Volo; Mrs. Josephine Mayer of Stacyville, la.; Wm.

In Tire Building A tire-mak«r's first problem is to decide how much he five for the money This, and every other question in tin building, depends upon policies.
