With two complete tickets in the field, voters of McHenry are becoming intersted in the city election to be held on April 20, which will conclude the elections for the month. The roster of candidates has been complete since March 16, the final day for the filing of petitions and in addition to the present board members several new candidates have expressed their intention to run for office. The candidates for mayor are Peter poherty, present incumbent, and R. I. Overton, an alderman from the First ward. The people of McHenry have been fortunate in having men of ability and experience to direct the city's ship of state, guiding it wisely , and well. Each and every /'one of the aldermen has had the interest of the city at heart and have done what they considered best for the people of the community. Of this group of aldermen, R. I. Overton, who is a candidate for mayor, has the greatest number of years of public service to his credit He has seen McHenry grqsr from a village into a city and has sponsored every major improvement in this community for the last twenty years. With the exception of two years Mr. Overton has served continuously on the city board since 1919, about sixteen wears, starting his first term when F. H. Wattles was president of the village. He next'served with Dr. D. G. Wells as mayor and it was in these years that McHenry was in* corpora ted as a city. He has served on various committees and- during practically all of the years in public office he has been a member of the finance committee, having become most experienced in the intricate work of special assessments. During the years Mr. Overton has been interested in civic affairs McHenry has received nearly all of its improvements including the pavements, sewer, state highways, etc. Centennial Chairman Mr. Overton was chairman of the successful Centennial celebration in McHenry last year and put the affair over in fine shape. For twenty-nine years Mr. Overton has been in business In McHenry and for twenty-eight years he nas been at the same location, where he built a fine new garage several years ago. He recalls many interesting experiences in the days of the good old horse and buggy when he started a livery business at the Riverside barn in 1908. At the end of the year he "took over the barn in West McHenry, operating both places for a few years usually having as high as forty horses. In 1910 he instituted the first auto livery in town and in those days it was a common occurrence to take 300 passengers to the train on Sunday night. Progressing with the trend of the times Mr. Overton took over the Buick agency and today is one of the leading business men of the town. The present mayor, Peter J. Doherty, who is a canditdate for re-election, has been a member of the city council for many years, serving as mayor for two complete terms and served out the unexpired term of John Knox, who passed away while holding the office. When the voters receive their ballots on Tuesday, April 20, they will find two full tickets. In the first column appears the Taxpayers tickets, headed by Peter J. Doherty for mayor. Peter A. Neiss, city clerk, and candi-1 dates for aldermen as follows: First; ward, Nick P. Justen and Frank G.i Schreiner; second ward, Raymond S. [ Howard and Robert A. Thompson; | third ward, Ray F. Conway and Clarence Douglas. The second column is an Independent ticket, with only dine name thereon, that of Robert L. Weber, for city treasurer. In the third column will be found the Progressive ticket, headed by R. I. Overton for mayor; Earl R. Walsh for city clerk and candidates for aldermen as follows: First ward, Joseph M. Regner and John A. Bolger; second ward, Edw. J. Buss and Herman J. Kreutzer; third ward, Fred Ferwerda and George P. Freund. A specimen ballot appeais I* this issue of The Plaindealer.

The work of decorating St, Patrick's church, which was commenced on Easter Monday, is nearing completion and promised to transform the already attractive edifice into one of surpassing beauty. The work is being done under <the supervision of Edward Doherty of Rockford, and is being carried out in the shades of blue, ivory and gold. ' The ceiling is in ivory and the walls blend from a lovely shade of blue to ivory at the ceiling. The altars are in pale blue, shading to ivory and the arch of ornamental plaster is in bine and gold, while the stations are in blue, gold and ivory. The church, which was built in 1922, is being decorated for the first time, its walls previously being in white. The seats, rails and floor will also be varnished. MOTHERS CLUB SPONSORS ARBOR DAYJROGRAM TEES PLANTED AT HIQH ° SCHOOL TUESDAY , An appropriate and interesting outdoor program was given at the Community 'High School at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon when a tree, presented by the Mothers Club, was planted on the curb in front of the building. The brightest sunshine made the day an ideal one for the program which marked the event As the high school students, with their teachers, members of the Mothers Club and other interested spectators gathered at the tree bank the program opened with a song, "America the Beautiful." followed by a pre sentation speech by Mrs. C. W. Goodell, president of the Mothers Club, and one of acceptance and appreciation in "oehalf of the high school, by Mary Erickson. Originated In Nebraska Curtis Newman read the "poem, "Trees," by Joyce Kilmet, and gave an interesting history of Arbor Day, saying that it was originated by J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska, the first Arbor Day occurring on April 22, 1872. The state of Nebraska was barren and had very few trees at that time and it. was because of this that J. S. Morton conceived the idea of Arbor Day. Over one million trees were planted in Nebraska that year and within the next ten years, Uiirty states had declared Arbor Day. At the present time, practically every state in the union observes the day. In the south it is observed in January or February while in this region and farther north, it is observed in April and May. The names of everyone present were ' sealed in a bottle and planted with the tree to be unearthed,--who knows how many centuries hence. OLD TOWN TAVERN TOMOVETONEW QUARTERS, MAY 1 The Engeln building on Riverside Drive is undergoing extensive alterations and improvements, preparatory to occupancy by the Old Town Tavern, Floyd Coleman, proprietor, who will change his location from the Huck building at the corner of Elm street and Riverside Drive, on May 1. Mr. Colman states that when the room is completed it will have a new 36-ft bar, and a 30-ft pier will be built on the river. The place is being redecorated'and new plumbing install ed. parking space on the south side the building will accomodate a large number of cars. Mr. Colman has conducted the tavern on the corner for a considerable time and has enjoyed a splendid patronage. With the new and modern quarters he undoubtedly will hold the custom already established and add many new patrons. e -- -- • -- -- -- -- -- 10 TWO CANDIDATES FOR GRADE SCHOOL BOARD Or M'HKNiY "The second of the spring ele&iohs will be held Saturday when members of the grade and high school boards of education will be selected for another term as well as directors in the var ious rural districts and a member of the township hoard of trustees. The only contest scheduled to take place this year is for the office of president of the grade school board, with George Stilling meeting opposition in the candidacy of Dr. IL G. Chamberlin. This will i^aturally bring out a larger vote than usual and make the election on Saturday an interesting one. Members of the grade board who are seeking re-election are Lester Sherman and Mat Steffes. They will probably encounter no opposition as no other petitions were filed before the deadline on Saturday, March 20. The polls for this election will be at the grade school and will be open from 12 noon to 5 p. m., on Saturday. The high school election 'is to be held, also, cm Saturday with the term of one member, Jos. W. Freund, expiring. Mr. Freund is the oldestfmember of the board in years of service, having held office continuously since the Community high school district was formed in 1920 and served as secretary of the beard for many years. Mr. Freund is a candidate for re-election on the high school ticket. Polls for the high school election will be located at the city hall and will be open for the convenience of voters from 12 noon until 7 p. m. The time for filing petitions for the high school haWBl^eq^res eleven days before the election date, while petitions for the grade school must be filed twenty-une days- before the election. Township School Trustee The election of a school trustee for McHenry township will also be held Saturday and will take place on Riverside Drive from 2 to 4 p. m. and also at Ringwood. Only one name appears on the ballot, that of Clayton C. Harrison for a full three-year term. Other members of the trustee board are Peter Smith and Henry J. Miller, with S. W. Brown, secretary and treasurer. The township board meets three times a year, usually on the first Monday in April and October and within ten days after election they meet to organize. The duties of the township school trustees are important, as all school finances and business of the township are supervised by them. The office of secretary and treasurer, who is appointed by the trustee board every two years, is also one of responsibility and trust, as this officer handles the school money, signing the vouchers for salaries and other expenses.
