McHENRY, ILLINOIS for Frier thr- ef Freedom The Irish bond driv e is meeting with remarkable success, judging from reports that the new dispatches have given the last few days. New York, whose quota was three million, subscribed two million and a half the first day. Chicago, in answer to the Ulster "Cooties" protest against the loan^ gave answer "With n pledge from the Chicago chapter ef the Friends of Irish Freedom of $500,000.00. Local solicitors for the loan have not all reported, but from reports received over $500100 has been subscribed. That the entire axbount of ten million, thruout the U. S. will be subscribed! there is no doubt. A London cable Wednesday morning to the Chicago Tribune states that only 30 per cent of, the Sinn Feiners were elected in the last election instead of seventyfive per cent as previously reported. The .probability of the truth of this cable may be guaged from the fact that the- news comes from London, and from further cabled news in the Associated Press items that all U. S. papers during the past few days have been seized in Dublin ports by the English postal authorities. Ireland to know nothing of what is transpiring in this country that would be of vital interest to her and the friends of Ireland in the U. S. are to have only such news as England chooses to send. That any news concerning Ireland coming thru English channels would be unbiassed, or that it would have even the semblance of truth would require' a great stretch of the imagination to suppose. So for Irish election returns America will have to await a better source of information than that contained in above mentioned cable. We are only certain of one thing and that is Ireland and the Irish will have no more to do with England then absolute force will compel her to have. Another interesting side light on English propaganda is the tour of the Ulster "Cooties," who are focusing the eyes of America on the strange spectacle of human beings so devoid of natural sentiment that they loudly proclaim that they want no freedom except the freedom to slander their countrymen and who thereby merit the contempt of freedom loving Americans so eloquently expressed by the poet when he said, "Breathes there ca man with soul so dead, Who never to himself has said This is n.y own, my native land." "rtiese creatures, h< wever, do not represent Ulster nor the Protestant Irish and their cause is so weak that they did not dare to accept the challenge of Lindsay Crawford, Protestant Irishman, Ulsterite, editor of the Statesman and head of the Independent Orange lodges, to publicly debate the Irish question. Friends of Irish Freedom have every reason to hope \ that a new dawn of independence is about to break upon Ireland and they will help to build the rainbow of hope by their generous, subscriptions to the Irish loan. - V Alphabet of Irish Independence A for America, making all nations free, B is f6r Britain grabbing earth, air and sea; C is for Carson, bigot, coward and knave; D for De Valera, ruler, noble and grave; E is for Erin winning* self determination; F for her "Felons"who've kept her a! nation; G for the glories of old fast return- «*; H for Home Rule that New Ireland is spurning; I for independence, by brute force denied; for the jailers otfr heroes defied; K for King George, the kaiser's first cousin; ' L for Lloyd George, who hypnotized Wilson; M for MacPherson, the chief of the villians; N is for Northcliffe, who in blackmail spent millions; O for the Orange who are seeing the light; P for the press that will help win the fight; Q is for the "Question," seven centuries unsolved; R is for the ruin and slaughter in-] volved; S is for Sinn Fein, our £ride, hope and glory; T for the triumph soon to crown our sad story; U is for Ulster, now joining the trn-ong; V is for victory pi right over wrong; W is tiie World War, fought for Democracy;" X Article X that would make it hypocrisy; Y is the yoke with God's help we shall sever; Z is the zeal that shall rend it forever. • j^ATRE THURSDAY.

But the girl he had chosen for his wife decided that she was too expensive for him--and jilted the young man remorselessly. jpfVa ,'*• '• *' ' • thought was that in the event of a certain other Virl turning up, Randolph's fortune would simmer down to nothing and the rightful heiress would gather in the sheckles. Disconsolate, Randolph goes from the house, having been jilted, and falls into the wrong taxi. He is wheeled away to the stage door of a theatre, where *hfe overhears a conversation between Vivien Vivierre and Duke Beamer, one of the species New Yorker who seeks women of the stage as companions. Vivien is objecting to what Beamer is saying to her and Bob hops out of the taxi and with a blow ctlts short the conversation. Then Robert escorts the girl to her apartments and learns from her that she is really Imogene Pamela Thornton-- the girl "Pam"--who is heiress to the fortune Randolph is drawing on. Realizing that he must go to work, Robert buys a job, uniform and all, from a passing taxi driver and becomes one of the hundreds of men who live on the results of New York night life. Pam comes into possession of her fortune, consisting largely in stock controlling the Ajax Taxicab company. Beamer, in revenge, attempts to become possessed of enough stock to impoverish Pam, because she would not consent to his continued attention. Robert becomes aware of the scheme, rounds up his own society friends and swings to himself the election Beamer wanted. Then Pam meets again the young man who has won her love and so strangely disappeared. Robert retires as a taxi driver and generally manages his pretty wife's fortune. Such is the outline of "Taxi," a plot filled with lively comedy and snappy action, in which Taylor Holmes will be seen at the Empire theatre Sunday night. Strikes and Spares at Smithy's On Friday evening "bf last week Math. B. Laures and Ed. Conway hooked up in a two-men contest, the former winning out with many points to spare. Hawley and Groom, who have been hitting up the wood with a marked degree Of efficiency during the past couple of weeks, again hooked up for a six out of eleven games tournament on the alleys on Monday night of this week. Altho Haw.ley took six of the seven games rolled, his lead at the end of the seventh game was only 20 pins. The scares: .

Quinlan, the McHenry county real estate broker, on account of the deep snow and tdad roads, has been working around home for the past week or two. He has sold in the last few days of the old year and so far in the new year 2214 acres of McHenry county farms, totaling $287,860, or an average of $180.00 an acre, among which is the 314 Lampe-Clark farm, Greenwood township; Edwin Wallis farm of 453 acres, Greenwood and McHenry townships; Thomas Huntley farm of 200 acres, Grafton Empire township; Hem-Dike-Quinlan farm of 404 acres, Nunda and Dorr townships; Wm. Dike-Tait farm of 133 acres, Dorr township; Campion-Soderstrom farm of 190 acres, Dorr township; Neiman- Quinlan farm of 200 acres, Dunham township; 80 acre Peck farm, Nunda township, which accounts for two things, good salesmanship and reliability, as these farms were all covered with snow when sold.
