So realistic were the costumes that if a stranger had entered their midst so doubt he would have retreated, in dismay at having run into such a disreputable looking crowd. Of course, they were all very highly respected citizens of our community, but you would never gu$ss it by looking at their costumes for the evening. Mrs. C.

The dam has been completed and the big lake has already commenced to fill with water while the last stretch-of clay filling at the west end of the concrete work was expected to be completed this week, so that there would be nothing more to delay the rise of the water, The water is already aboat seven feet deep at the dam and for'a considerable distance down the Nippersink the creek begins to appear swollen and threatening as if it were soon about to overflow its former boundaries. The completed dam presents a very fine picture of expert workmanship and skill, while the immense fill of clay and gravel more than twenty feet high and 110 feet wide and more than 900 fleet long adds to the finished picture of this great achievement. Thfe tar waterproof coat has been put over the cement work and a six-foot fill of clay has been put in at the base of the dam to make even the lake bottom itself leak-proof. Everything is completed with the exception of the extra deep fill at the end of the dam, which has • also been reinforced with steel in an effort to make it waterproof. Much of the machinery of the Whitewater Bridge company has been ! removed and lumber and machinery is I being taken away and the grounds | cleaned up, giving the surroundings a j finished appearance. It is planned to fill the lake slowly at first in order i to watch the effect of the added pres- I sure upon the dam and the depth of I the water will be regulated by the I sluiceways, one at each end of the cement work and one of which is BOW Tib bane of lite Plaindealer Lists Dependable Merchandise At Reduced Prices Again (the bifying public in the McHenry territory is to be given another opportunity to save some money by making purchases on Dollar Day, Saturday, Oct. 26, in MlcHenry.

This was to have been a regular session but turned out to be a/booster meeting for the state convention to be held the latter part of the month at Rockford. The spirit exhibited by those present was. a forerunner of the apparent enhancement of values of the real estate of McHenry county, the extension of railway service, additional hard roads, the coming world's fair of 1933, all being factors that tend to make realty investments in this county sound. Good prices for daily, poultry and other farm products also show a healthy tendency. Altogether it waf a good meeting and Roy Kent and Dan Quinlan are to represent the board at the Rockford sessipn. Among those present were: G. C. Peter,, D. F. Quinlan, G. B. Huffman, W. S. Battern, Woodstock; Roy A. Kent, McHenry; R. M. Fritz, James M. Davidson, Henry McCauley, Harvard; Paul Gault. Marengo. Roy A. Kent, president of the McHenry County board, presided at the Meeting.

Farmers sending milk to the Bowman factory from McHenry comprise aome of the best dairymen in the and in almost every instance the dairy equipment is of the best and most modern. Everything is sanitary and the cows are tuberculin tested. Situated as it is in th| heart of the area supplying the city of Chief ?o with milk, farmers near McHenry sail «ly upon milk as their main source of income and farmers^ are showing no tendency to cease milk production activities but instead new heads are being added. Since the agreement early in the year with the Pure Milk association the price was raised to $2 74 per hundred pounds and the faimers feel that under the new organization they are beginning to gam ground. _ ^ 33,000 Poands a Day there are ninety-nine producers, delivering about 33,000 pounds of milk YSJR:' gin last Saturday, the occasion being in honor of her birthday anniversary, which occurs this week. Guests were present from several of the surrounding towns. Those in attendance from McHenry were: Mesdames Mary Carey, Thomas Doherty, Bridget R®"* han, R. I. Overton, Margaret McCarthy, Ellen Whiting, William Burke, M. J. Walsh and Misses Ellen Doherty and Nancy Frisby. a day to MicHenry, where it is deliv ered by trucks to the Bowman plant in Chicago. This is an average of nearly 300 pounds of milk for each dairy per day and constitutes the payment of several thousands of dollars to the farmers each month. When this fact is taken into consideration it brings to mind the importance of milk as a dairy product and the importance of the farmer in the community. Prospects for the farmers are becoming brighter and with the Pure Milk organiation becoming stronger each day fanners will receive recognition from the dealers ami brighter propects are assured. open. -• Engineers Fee! Secure Many opinions are being advanced as to how rapidly the lake will fill and just what will happen in the meantime, but the engineers feel secure in their convictions of success and it is safe to say that if the sluiceways are closed the big lake will fill with surprising rapidity. A certan amount of water will be required to pass through the dam as the creek beyond cannot become dry as it would kill the fish, according to the best friend of the fish, Ike Walton. The big lake will be about three and three-fourths miles long and about 1 one and one-half miles wide, with more than twelve miles of shore line and will be the second largest lake in northern Illinois. The work at the dam has run very closely to schedule as it wai predicted some time ago that the dam Would be completed about the middle of October, which is now seen to be correct. , The dike in it»elf was a big undertaking and this structure of clay has been packed and hardened until tt is as hard and firm as cement. The dam consists of three sections and two abutments and is hollow with a bridgeway extending through the dam for the purpose of inspection. Flash boards will be put on the crest of the dam to enable the water to be kept at* an average height, allowing, it to be raised and lowered as necessary Each side of the dam 's built on an entirely different slope and angle fend besides the clay footing at the base of the dam a concrete footing two and one-half feet deep was also laid. When Nipper sink Creek becomes transformed into this large body of water twenty feet deep at the dam, over a mile wide and more than three miles in length it is going to be some sight and will indeed be a wonder lake worth going many many miles to see. Someway there is an air of serene security and surety about the whole undertaking and with never a doubt arising in the minds of its promoters one cannot but feel that this gigantic undertaking and the first large manmade lake in this part of the country Will indeed be a big success, and it Is predicted that by the first of the new year, at least, this vicimty will have another completed beautiful Wonder. Lake. ONE YEAR OLD Mrs. George Miller entertained a party of little folks and their mothers on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 16, the occasion being her little son Walter's first birthday anniversary.

CELEBRATE NINETEENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY A party of friends very successfully surprised Mr. and Mrs. Mat Blake at their home west of this city Saturday evening, the event being planned in honor of their nineteenth wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Blake had made other plans for the evening, but their friends invaded their home and surprised them before they had aru opportunity to get very far away. After the excitement of the complete surprise had diminished the evening was spent at cards, with the first prizes being won by Mrs. Ford Jackson and Thomas Kane, while the second prizes were awarded to Mrs. Peter A. Freund and Mat Blake. Mr. and Mrs. Blake were presented with a pleasing gift from the guests in honor of their anniversary. Just nineteen years ago this genial couple was married at St. Mary s church in McHenry and started housekeeping on the old Blake homestead, and they have lived in this vicinity ^Following the serving of refreshments at a late hour the guests departed, aftfer offering their congratulations to the host and hostess. The guests were: Messrs. and Mesdames Thomas Kane, James Jensen, Ford Jackson, Peter Weingart, George Young, Peter A. Freund and Jerome Jensen. Earl Peterson Owns Lincoln-Paige v Biplane and Will Make Flyiag His Life Work The first airplane to become the property of a McHenry resident is now owned by Earl Peterson, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Peterson, of this city. Earl has been much interested in flying for some time and during the past year has been studying this newest of vacations until now he has gained enough experience to manipulate a plane by himself and has made several solo flights in this vicinity. He has obtained his student pilot's license and expects to go to Chicago next week, where he will take the examinations for a private pilot's license at the municipal airport. There is much studying to do and several tests to pass before the transport pilot's license can be obtained, which requires a total of 200 hours of flying experience. Before this test' can be passed successfully there is still another test to be passed to gain the commercial pilot's license, which requires fifty-hours of flying experience and which will allow the pilot to carry passengers. Mr. Peterson has been studying at the Palwaukee airport, located at Milwaukee avenue and Palatine road, where he keeps his plane as yet although he hopes to make arrangements to keep it nearer home as soon as possible. The plane is a fine Lincoln-Paige biplane with a Curtis motor, with room for two passengers besides the driver and bears the number NC5330. May Enter Mail Service No doubt this beautiful blue and silver plane will become a familiar sight to residents of this city in the near future as its owner is putting in all of his spare time in gaining experience in this mpst modern and coming means of transportation. He intends to make this his life work and is very interested in it and hopes eventually to get into the air mail service. The Palwaukee' airport is an in* teresting place to visit, where about fifty airplanes are owned and it is a busy place indeed. All summer they have had the Daily News run to Lake Geneva and Northern Wisconsin and are fast gaining in size and popularity. There are many laws and rules which govern the use of the airplanes as there are which govern every mode of transport and the study is an interesting one. Over cities of considerable size pilots are required to fly not lower than 1,000 feet and many times they find the air more bumpy and rough than automobiles find their course the modern highways. There many and various conditions ELEVEN YEARS OLD Miss Ruth Reihansperger entertained eight of her little friends at the home of her grandma, Mrs. Simon Stoffel, on Monday afternoon after school, in honor of her eleventh birthday anniversary.

Meeting Held At Cary Sunday--Ralph Powers Elected President of New Organiation An enthusiastic gathering of river front property owners met at Gary, Sunday afternoon, to complete a permanent organization which will be known as the Algonquin, Nunda, Fox River Improvement association. The organization is composed of men of prominence and influence, who are uniting for the purpose of securing a more uniform water level in the river south of the McHenry dam. Ralph Powers, former mayor of Cary, was elected president of the association, Thomas Bolger of McHenry was elected vice-president, Guy Jones of Cary, secretary, and Otte Dedlow of Burton's Bridge, treasurer. The directors are: E. C. Peters, Algonquin; A. H. Hale, Crystal Lake; Thomaa A. Bolger, McHenry; Otto Schmidt, Chicago, and Judge Chat. T. Allen of Cary. Committees were Appointed and the by-laws will be drawn up and the work of building the organisation will get under way. Another meeting will be held at Cary on Nov. 17, at which time plans will be drafted for a formal petition to the state department of public works for a better regulation of the water flow over McHenry dam. The organization claims that flash boards on the dam keep the water high in the lakes region to the north during the dry season, whereas river front property below the dam suffers from low water. They will also endeavor to have the state take over control of the Algonquin dam. Dismissal of a petition for a conservancy district from the Wisconsin Hhe to Johusburg has been ordered by County Judge Charles T. Allen. The petition has been withdrawn because all but seventeen of the original petitioners have withdrawn. Out of the failure of this improvement will grow a larger scheme that will effect 48,000 acres through the Fox River Valley in Lake and McHenry counties. i Within the next five months peti- | tions will be prepared by Lake county men for a conservancy district that will run along the Fox river line, extending through the Antioch .- Fox Lake - Ingleside chain of lakes district to Emerald Park at McHenry. The first petition covered 35j000 acres and did include considerable property that the Antioch residents considered necessary to the success of the project.
