Allen, Chairman Wire stated that the purpose of the meeting was rather unusual, inasmuch as under the plan of party organization the work of the committee is primarily to advance the election of Republican candidates for office at the regular election, after'the nomination had been made. The chairman explained that he believes the wotk of the committee should ordinarily be confined to such activities at the election, but it had been urged by men prominent in the councils of the party, that the present is a special situation in which there i» no division among McHenry county Republicans and in which it is important that action be taken to bring every Republican voter to the primary on Tuesday, April 13, 1920, in order that the will of the Republican? of this county should have expression and be properly recorded. Party Is United Mr. Wire called attention to the tket that Illinois has a candidate in the person of Governor Frank O. Lowden for president of the United States, also that McHenry county has been allotted a candidate for national delegate to the Republican national convention to be held at'Chicago next June, by representatives of the Republican party in all four of the counties of the eleventh congressional district. Having called the committee into session, it now rested with its members to determine what action, if any, should be taken to organize the various precincts of the county in order to get out a vote at the primaries. . It is an unusual honor for Illinois to have candidate who is being seriously considered by all parts of the nation as the man best fitted for the high office of president of this great republic, and as Illinois Republicans everywhere are especially proud of the record for efficiency and high order of statesmanship now being made by Governor Lowden, he felt that the Republicans of McHenry county should be aroused to the importance of the coming primary to give expression of approval or disapproval of the administration of Governor Lowden and of hia candidacy for president. Mr. Wire explained further that his own candidacy for national delegate had been unsought by him and a petition was filed in his behalf without his solicitation or suggestion. Ha<^he been consulted he would probably have declined the honor, but his name now appearing on the ballot he would like to be elected if possible. As the heavy vote is in the southern part of the district, it will be necessary that McHenry county voters go to the polls in large numbers, otherwise a McHenry county candidate cannot hope for election. In the recommendation of Mr. Wire as one of the candidates for national delegate, the Hon. John Lambert of Juliet had been, recommended as his associate to represent this district. He sincerely hoped that McHenry county voters will support Mr. Lambert, as the letter's friends are loyally supporting Mr. Wire. At the close of Mr. Wire's remarks the following resolution was presented by T. H. Brown of Dorr, #hich was generally seconded by other member* present: Reeolotleae Are Presented Resolved, That the Republican county central committee of McHenry county recognizing the wise, able and economical administration of the present governor of Illinois in his administration of state affairs during the past three years and fully appreperience in state affairs and his business ability in the conduct of affairs, as a man most highly fitted to extricate our country financially and economically from the chaos into which it has clrifted, does hereby most heartily and earnestly endorse the candidacy of the Honorable Frank O. Lowden for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. An honor has been conferred upon McHenry county in the selection of a delegate to the Republican national convention by the recommendation of our chairman^ the Hon. W. E. Wire by various Republicans in this,, the eleventh congressional district, as a candidate for delegate to the Republican national convention, together with the Honorable John Lambert of Will county.- We therefore hereby earnestly endorse the candidacy of - W. E. Wire and John Lambert as candidates for debates to the Republican national convention and we earnestly solicit every Republican voter in McHenry county to attend the polls on April 13 next and cast a ballot for each, the said W. E. Wire and John Lambert. Further we recommend and ask every Republican voter in McHenry cdunty to cast his ballot In the presidential primary for the Honorable Frank O. Lowden, governor of Illinois, as our presidential candidate. Speakers Endorse Resolutieas Before putting the resolutions to a vote the chairman gave full opportunity for expression by all present, after which the resolution was adopted unanimously. In supporting the resolution addresses of endorsement were made by State's Attorney V. S. Lumley, Judge C. H. Donnelly, Representative E. D. Shurtleff, Attorneys James F. Casey and Charles T. Allen and Judge C> P> Barnes. ** Shurtleff Praiaes GsnnMr AH of these men spoke in laudatory terms of Governor Lowden's work as governor of the state, Representative Shurtleff going perhaps more fully into details and calling attention to some of the specific things which had betn done for the benefit of the state. He showed especially how Governor Lowdqp by the re-organization of the business of the state had reduced the state tax each year since his first year in office. Going further into detail Mr. Shurtleff stated specific properties in McHenry county, one each in Marengo, Woodstock and Harvard, as an example, and showed that while other expenses, taxes and prices everywhere, have been much increased, likewise the cost of maintaining all of the state institutions, the taxes levied and collected by the state of Illinois for state purposes under Governor Lowden's administration from these properties as well as from all others have each year been reduced. This record alone entitles Governor Lowden to serious consideration as a man well fitted to extricate the nation from its present financial chaos. Mr. Shurtleff also called attention' to Governor Lowden's courage and high-minded statesmanship in wiping out hundreds of boards and commissions and their attending members and employes by the re-organisation of that state's business activities under what is generally known as the Code system, thus making possible such a remarkable lowering of state taxes. While the governor's policy had been a great benefit to the state, it had also been a sore disappointment to many prominent aspirants to political office and in many cases opposition to the governor's present- candidacy can be traced to that fact. "Interests" Net Friendly While Governor, Lowden is known as a wealthy man, he is not being supported by the "Interests," they having found him adament to their demands. He had been confronted by many weighty problems, but had always decided to the best of his ability for the people, regardless of all opposition. Mr. Shurtleff called further attention to the fact that Governor Lowden is a man of the people, having a personal knowledge of the problems of men in every station of life, and with the best interests of all the people always* in mind. He closed by stating that to his mind the present governor of Illinois approaches more nearly than any public official he had ever known the ideals- of the immortal Lincoln. In all of the addresses much of laudation was said of the services of W. E. Wire to the Republican party. He was referred to as the wheel-horse of the party, having served for thirty years continuously as committeeman representing Hebron township, and for twenty years, except one term, of two years, as chairman of the mittee^ . . Win'la PraM . Mr. Wire has been opposed fn marty primary campaigns to the men who spoke for him at this meeting, but regularity at the election has been one of his most cherished courses, and no matter whom he as a voter might have supported in the primary, at the election -he gave all his efforts to the election of the party nominee. It was generally agreed by all of anA|]fArfl. thot vyk .ttAJL kfr V?'.' * ,•>' • * ,r , - v; - .. F • J- . -v . " selected in McHenry county to mora ably and fittingly represent the Republican party at the national convention than Mr. Wire, whose activities as the official head of the party had extended over so long a period of years. Supervisor H. M. Turner, representing Hebron township, expressed the appreciation of his townspeople for the honor conferred upon them by the selection of Mr. Wire as a candidate for national delegate. v N® Money For Expensea After the addresses and the unanimous adoption of the resolutions, a discussion was had as to what methods should be followed to get out the vote. Chairman Wire called attention to the fact that there are no funds for use in hiring cars or employing workers at *th« polls, but in Hebron an organization of volunteer workers, both men and women, had been formed and he believed similar steps could be taken in other parts of the county. Mr. Lumley suggested that there • ight be parts of the county where he voters would wish to be enlightened on the issues of the coming primary and if any precinct committee members wish to arrange a meeting, he is sure a good speaker can be ph>- vided. This suggestion wag accepted, Mr. Lumley volunteering to arrange for speakers. Temporary Secretary Renich volunteered to place a copy of the proceedings of this meeting into the hands of each committee member as well as send same to the county newstapers f or publication. Republicans in every part of the county were further urged to arouse as much interest as possible of both men and women in his primary, in order that as large a publican vote be obtained as possi- NO. 43 dividuality is expressed in every line. Is that alone not worth a lot? Often times one cannot get a garment made to meet their own personal desires. If one can sew the garment can be made exactly according to the tastes of the sewer, the result being that the finished product is satisfactory. One can have more dresses and prettier ones at; a cheaper amount if one makes her own clothing. I know this to be a fact from my own personal experiences. We are back again to the instigator of this work, "The Club Unit," What is its significance? A great value. It is the main body which this work revolves around. '; ' Club meetings is * Iftep toward unity and where there is: unity thirre is strength. One becomes acquainted with her fellow club members, there exists that competition and in that way each girl does her part "to make the best better." Helen Dunham, Harvard, IH.

"How I made By Garments" After the various tools which are essential in seeing have been selected, we directed our attention to the ma tfarial, or cloth, which we are going to use. The cloth is made by the inter acing of two threads, the warf and woof. The warf threads are the .stronger, therefore it is better to cut button holes length wise of. the. material when possible. In the choosing of materials it is quite essential that one use good judgment in securing materials which serve the purpose. Do not always consider the quantity that you receive at a given price, but the quality, which always proves to be an important factor. It does not pay to buy cheap material as the finished product does npt generally meet ones desire in the end. There are four principal fibers used in the production of cloth, namely: Cotton, wool, linen and silk. It is left for us to decide which kind of cloth one needs for the article which is to be made. For example, I decided to make myself two underskirts for school wear. I did not choose silk, but a good grade of white muslin, which I knew would wear well and also launder well. Another factor is also given prominence. A girl should study her own figure and select lines for her clothes which are most becoming to her. The design or pattern should be chosen with regard to the material from which it is going to be made. It has become quite essential that the majority of we people remodel and repair our old clothing. We have got to cat the H. C. L. and how are we to carry this out, unless we fight it by wearing our old clothing, which sometimes can be made to look like new. Look for places that need mending, mend them right away, it saves time and labor. One can make old garments look like new by buying new material for trimming, change the style if the material affords it In the war work we all tried to do our "bit," we were the soldiers at home. I made two pair of wristlets. The first pair I made was my first experience in knitting. The second pair proved to be a better specimen. I also made bandages and Red Cross blocks. The war work was sent over there to the boys in brown from our town. I enjoyed this work because there seemed to be something inspiring in the fact that one could do his or her part in the winning of theworld war. I did not have p.ny particular reason for joining the garment making club, only that I had entered into the various other projects in previous years and enjoyed the work. Personally I think that "garment making" should rank among the highest in the average girl's training for numerous reasons. Firstly, it is highly possible that one will have to sew at some one time. Is it not the best time to acquire this knowledge while one is under a mother's direction and supervision? There is a disadvantage in buying ready made garments. Sometimes one does not get as good a grade of material, also the article may not be well made. Secondly, if a girl is capable of aialfinir her OWH flothlfff. bar own in- The kind that you like : j^are to be found;at this ^store in great variety island our prompt deliv- ^ jjjery service also assists . fin making this popular ^trading center for busy * people.
