MCHENRY, ILLINOIS Interest in tfc$p||ftng spring elections here is bcfHMit to grow among' the voters of the village and community and before the end of anottor week candidates for the various offices to be filled should become more numerous. . The time of filing petitions for the three township offices which become vacant this spring expired on Monday* of this week and as a result four of such documents are now in the hand of the clerk, as follows: Town clerk, Chas B. Harmsen; assessor, John W Kimball; commissioner of highways, John Boyle and Wm. B. Tonyan. Thus it will be seen that there will be but one contest in the first election and this will be for the office of highway commissioner and, in view of the fact that both candidates are hustlers, it is predicted that a large vote will be cast. Mr. Boyle, the present incumbent of the aforesaid office, is now completing his first term under the one commissioner plan 'and if there are any complaints against the services as rendered by him it ha3 not been brought to the attention of the writer. In fact it looks to us as* if Mr. Boyle has made a very efficient servant for the people and the candidate will, no doubt, make a strong bid for the position he now holds. The second candidate, Wm. B. Tonyan, has served the people of this township under the three commissioner plan and while thus occupied gave much of his time to the work and left a clean record at the expiration of his term. As previously stated, both men have a large following of friends and supporters and a close race is predicted by those who have followed local politics in the past. Two petitions bearing the names of Thos A. Bolger and Chas. H. Harrison, who are now completing short terms as members of the community high school board, have also been filed with the clerk and, according to present indications, these two men will be re-elected without opposition. In view of the fact that the terms of these two men have been very short, giving them but little time to acquaint themselves with the work and responsibilities connected with the offices they now hold, it seems to be the general consensus among the voters of the newly organized school district to .reelect these men. The new board, since its organization, has worked along in a most harmonious manner and its work is beginning to shape itself for the future good of the younger generation of the community. Up until Wednesday noon, when the writer called up the clerk of the board of education of district No. 15, no petitions had been filed with him. However, there is still plenty of time for this and, no doubt, prospective candidates for the vacancies will make themselves known ere long. Stephen H. Freund, one of the members of this body, whose term expires this spring, informs us that he will not be a candidate for re-election, while Jas. B. Perry, who has served at the head of this body for man^ terms past, also declined to become a candidate. This means that there will be at least two new members on this board during the coming term. The situation in village affairs remains unchanged since last week, in that no public announcements of candidates have been made. However, one can hear an occasional rumor and from these we take that a great deal of interest is sure to be $hown by the voters this year. >A REGULAR FELLOW" .

So when his grandfather decides that Dalion must marry one Virginia Christy he runs away to Buenos Aires. There he meets a beautiful girl and immediately changes his opinion of women by falling violently in love with her. When she leaves for America Dalion goes to--with the coal. He endures the blows of a bullying sailor, scrubs decks and fires the furnace, all for the sake of sweet love. Upon his arrival in New York Dalion is arrested and taken to jail. Shortly afterwards he is forced by two cell mates to escape with them and to aid in their plan to rob a wealthy home. But they discover that already thieves have entered the very house they had picked. Then ensues a general mix-up, in which Dalion receives and returns several hard blows. But the belated arrival of policemen puts end to the fight and the four crooks are taken bask to jail. Dalion is dumfounded to discover that his efforts all have been for the mysterious lady of the boat, but he is rendered absolutely speechless when the girl's mother returns from the opera and introduces his sweetheart as Virginia Christy, the girl whom he had fled to Buenos Aires to avoid marrying. # Hostess to Social Wheel Mrs. James B.

Harvard has been playing some mighty fine ball during the past month and followers of the local team "were pleased to see our boys hold their opponents as well as they did. Kolls, for Harvard, was easily the shining light last Friday night, caging seven baskets and one free throw for total of fifteen points. Barbian made the most points for our side, getting two field baskets and four free throws for a total of eight points. The score: McHenry (14) ' . • Barbian Bonslett \ ; ; "F. Niesen • C.

This coffee grows on the Island of Java and it is known in the trade as Robusta Java. Order at once if you want the only high grade coffee on the market without a Rio flavor.
