Business Growing, Roy Hankermeyer, of the Northern Illinois Jobbing company, was in Chicago this week attending to business matters appertaining to the India Tea company, for which concern he has acted as agent since locating in McHenry a few years ago. The heavy increase in his own business here, we are informed, has left him very little time for the Chicago concern and his mission to that city, so Roy< says, was for the purpose of handing in his resignation, thus giving him the opportunity to give all of his time over to his own business. Mr. Hankermeyer also informs us that .beginning next year his company takes over a lease on the entire Brefeld block, when they will occupy the entire building, including the present barber shop and living quarters on the second floor. The building will then be given over to the ever increasing business of the Northern Illinois Jobbing company, which concern has shown a healthy growth ever since its birth a year or more ago. Besides doing a very nice local business, the company also covers Ringwood, Spring Grove, Solon Mills, Johnsburg, Richmond, Genoa Junction, Lake Geneva, Terra Cotta, Crystal Lake, Fox Lake and all of the territory tributary. The information was also given that the concern expects to .put a third machine on the road the coming summer and Mr. Hankermeyer is now looking for a reliable man, who will be placed in charge. He has quite an attractive proposition to make to the right sort of a man. His only qualifications must be honesty and a willingness to hustle. If you think that you are capable of filling the position your application will be gratuitously received. Enjoyed Musical Number Patrons of the Empire theatre here were given an unusually pleasing treat last Sunday evening, when, as 'a special attraction, Mrs. J. W. Smith 'and Miss Mae Kesslfer appeared in a very pleasing musical act. Both are artists of the first degree and ; they cheerfully responded to the generous encores given them by the large audience in attendance. The act fcame as a very welcome change and suggested that McHenry theatre goers are growing hungry for something in the variety line, which Manager Smith hopes to be able to give them sometime after Lent. Of course several vaudeville numbers of the sort that McHenry theatre goers would enjoy cost real money nowadays and if sufficient encouragement lis given Mr. Smith by those who really want something in this line a ] show will be booked. "I would just love to open that stage," declared Manager Smith to a Plaindealer reporter on Monday of this week.

After the chores he saddled his favorite little pony, rode to town, a distance of nearly three miles, blanketed the faithful little animal and then was ready for his school work. He is a student in the freshman class of the McHenry high school and in spite of his farm responsibilities he has stood at the head of his class for many consecutive months. Is there another fourteen-year-old boy in the county who can equal the record?

J* theirs for the asking.' -v f,, • t- • t.. ^ y •fcftV.-, -iiaii;iwA Atta Boy, Earl Earl Walsh, fourteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Walsh of this village, has probably established a farm record for himself that has yet to be equalled by a boy of his age. Earl loves the out-door life and especially so the farm, the fields, the horses, cows, poultry and in fact everything known to farm life. For some time past he has made Jiis home with his aunt, Mrs. Chas. W. Gibbs, and he established the record a short time ago, when their neighbor, W. E. Whiting, was taken down with the "flu." About this same time Mr. Whiting's hired man left him and had it not been for Earl it is hard to say just what would 4iave happened out Crystal Lake way. Earl, a willing lage, moved his live stock to the place last Saturday and since then has made daily trips to the farm. Next week his wife and the smaller children expect to move out to the farm, where they will remain for the summer. The children have taken a liking to farm life and the father, just to please them, has purchased considerable poultry and twentyseven head of sheep, which should keep them busily engaged until the beginning of school next fall. When interviewed on Monday of this week the happy father informed a news hunter that he figured the fattening of his sheep and the selling of the wool, together with the vegetables that he would be able to raise for his own consumption, would compensate him sufficiently to pay for the rental of the farm, besides giving the •family an outing that will be thoroly enjoyed by all.
