This is the first time since the- reorganization of the institution several years ago that an extra dividend has been paid the holders of stock. Mrs. Rewena Wilson Cassat, who with her husband has passed several years in China and who is now visiting relatives at Hebron, last week held a late, at which she disposed of a large number of Chinese curios. "TIs said that this unusual sate attracted a large crowd, many coming from nearby cities and towns. Chas. Soofield, former editor of a Marengo paper, had a very in teres ting communication in last week's issue #f the Marengo-Republican News, in which he described an automobile trip to San Diego, Calif.

Since Monday, December" II* the bank at Ringwood has been doing business under the name of the Ringwood State bank, the charter permitting the place to do business under state supervision having been secured a few days before the change took place. the bank is capitalized for $25,000 and the officers as elected are as follows: Clarence F. Hoy, president; Fremont Hoy, vice president; Kenneth O. Hoy, cashier. The bank's first board, of directors is made up of the following men, all of whom are well known in the community served by the bank: J. V. Buckland, Amos W. Smith, William B. Tonyan, Clayton C. Harrison, E. C. Hawley, Clarence F. Hoy, Fremont Hoy and Kenneth O. Hoy. Besides the members of the board of directors the stock of the newly reorganized bank is distributed among forty of the community's best and most inflaential citizens. The banking house, ever since its origin, has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth and under state supervision, the officers believe, the institution will continue to show even a more rapid growth than has been experienced in the past. The bank's officials are all men of much banking experience and with the co-operation of the directors and stock holders the institution is destined to develop into one of the strongest small town banks to be found in the state. Located as it is, in the heart of one of the greatest dairying districts in the country, the i prospects for future development are exceedingly encouraging. Christmas Services at St Mary's With unusual pomp and effort Christmas services will take place at St. 'Mary's church this year. An enlarged representation of the nativity \^cene is being erected in the church, for which large canva§& are being prepared in oil. The stable at Bethlehem, protruding from a cave in the rocks outside the walls of the ancient city, will receive more mreful attention than ever before. To the large Bethlehem painting from the hand of an Italian artist another scene of the interior of the stable will be added this year. From the time of St Francis, to whom we trace the erection of the Christmas cribs, Catholic churches have vied with each other in erecting nativity scenes with much labor and expense. St Gabriel's church in Chicago, probably the most elaborate of its kind in America, has attracted hundreds of visitors .from far and near every day during the Christmas tide. Nothing impresses little ones so much as the Christmas crib. Every youngster is invited to see tfea «r$b St Mary's. ' Program 5:46 Processional Reading of the gospel Sermof.

E. C.

The only agency that can disrupt us is the indifferent farmer, who he classified as greed--the man who is too greedy to pay his way in the organization and who at every chance presented is talking against his own ,. , , ... „ r „ , ? , > realized from this source, interests.

Among the ciWwd were noted a number of-older folks who have participated in many events of the kind in the past but all were willing to concede that the party of last Thursday proved the equal of anything of the kind ever held in the village.

A great ovation was accorded this popular speaker at'the conclusion of his'address and it is safe to say that should he come to McHenry for another meeting no hall would be large enough to accommodate the crowd which desired to hear him. *** Entertained at Dinner Mrs. John Montgomery entertained a number of friends at a dinner party at her home last Wednesday evening in honor of her husband's birthday anniversary. Dinner was served at 6:30. The evening was passed at games and a merry time prevailed.

It should also be remembered that the sooner the full amount is obtained the sooner the work of making the necessary repairs will be started. From a very reliable source we are informed that the winter months, with the river frozen over, is the best time to make these repairs. Gravel can be hauled over the surface of the ice and much time and labor is thereby saved.

Drawing to Take Place at Empire ^ Theatre December Slst With the drawing for numbers for the McGee & Conway automobile only week hence, interest in same has reached a high pitch. Hundreds of holders of the little red paste-board coupons are anxiously awaiting the drawing. The coupons are held by people residing in almost every town within a radius of twentyfive miles of this village. Besides the towns adjacent to this village, the coupons have found their way into Elgin and even Chicago and if every coupon, holder attends the drawing the Empire theatre will be found none too large to accommodate the throng. In an interview with Mr. McGee this week a reporter for The Plaindealer was informed that Manager Smith of the Empire theatre has given his^promise of a good bill on the night of the drawing, when every holder of a coupon will be admitted free. Holders of coupons will be asked to show them at the box office, where the regular theatre ticket will be issued them. Every holder of a coupon is also kindly asked to' be sure and bring their coupons with them, altho it will not be necessary for the holder of the winning number to be present at the drawing, as this would not be doing justice to outsiders, many of whom, no doubt, will find it impossible to be in McHenry on that night. According to present plans, the drawing will be held between shows, which will be shortly after nine o'clock. Just what plan the judges are to follow will be made known on the night of the drawing, but it iaquite likely 4hat two or three numbers will be drawn. This will (»e done to assure everyone concorned of a square deal. Experiences in drawings of this sort show that many times holders of coupons, have lost the pasteboard find for this reason a second and third is made. Should the drawing prove that the holder of the winning number is not present the committee, no doubt will give the holder a responsible Jpngth of time in which to claim the |vii|e. The box containing the coup8Mr will be sealed at five o'clock on Friday evening, Dec. 31. Coupons will be issued to all purchasers of goods at the store of McGee & ConWay up until that hour. ADD TWO DIRECTORS KO.» < ------»--<•» ;: ITERS OF LOCAL IHfBBfr AS PICKED UP BY PLAlNDBAUfB REPORTERS DURING WRBK f#"- Richard B. Walsh aaii W. E. Bradley Added to West Side Bank i Following the decision of the stockholders of the West McHenry State bank that the number of director be increased from six to eight members, a meeting was held at the bank building last Friday, at which time the two additional directors were named, the honor falling upon Richard B. Walsh of this village and W- E. Bradley of Ringwood. On account of the growth enjoyed by this institution in the course of the past few years, it was deemed advisable to increase the directorship and by adding the above two gentlemen to the board the bank officials feel that they have not acted unwisely. The directorship, with the addition of the newly appointed men, now consists of Dr. C. H. Fegers, Edwin L. Wagner, Simon Stoffel, Parker S. Webster, Frank H. Wattles and F. A. Bohlander. The banking institution, sinoa its establishment here about fourteen years ago, has witnessed a growth very seldom recorded in a community the size of oui^s and its total resources of over $500,000 is ample proof of the faith that has been placed in the men who are responsible for its being. All of the men connected with the institution need no introduction to the people of this enterprising community and the faith that has been bestowed in them in the past is sure to follow in time to come. McHenry may well feel proud to claim such a banking institution and of the men who. helped make it. w E. N. A.
