The drawing took place at the Empire theatre between shows, every holder of a McGee A Conway coupon being admitted to the show free of charge, and as a consequence of this arrangement between the local clothiers and the owner of the theatre a crowded house saw the first show, while every seat as well as every available spake of standing room was occupied at the time the drawing took place. Immediately after the close of the first show the judges, Messrs. C. W. Stenger, J. C. Holly and C. M. Bkkler, together with little Eleanor Sutton, the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sutton, appeared upon the stage, where the sealed ballot box was opened in full view of everyone present Mr. Stenger announced that the numbers would be drawn from the box by the little miss above mentioned and that the fifth number so drawn would be declared the winning one. He announced that it had been the experience of others who had conducted lotteries of the kind that coupons were oftitnes lost by the holders and therefore four substitute numbers would be drawn. Twenty-five numbers, the informant stated, would be drawn, the fifth number to be the winner, the tenth the first substitute, the fifteenth the second substitute, the twentieth the third substitute and the twentyfifth the fourth substitute. The winning number as well as the four substitutes were as follows: 81605, 022077, 93217, 021799, 86069. No one in the audience responded to the winning number and it was not learned until Monday morning of this week that I. A. Walker of Ringwood was the holder and consequently the winner of the car. The twenty-five numbers and the order in which they were drawn are as follows: 93923, 98331, 92464, 90132, 81605, 21202, 38675, 38630, 39185, 022077, 61772, 69907, 37232, 023864, 93217, 84173, 023662, 83494, 37279, 021799, 84796, 96141, 93646, 64864, 86069. Coupons, which have been given out at the McGee & Conway store during the past several weeks, have traveled in all directions from , McHenry and Ibme, it was learned, have gone several hundred miles. One inquiry regarding the winner was received by the store from some town in Iowa, another from someone in Ina, 111., while many came from nearby cities and towns. On interviewing Mr. McGee, of the firm of McGee & Conway, on Tuesday of this week a Plaindealer reporter was told that the firm was very much pleased with the whole affair, feeling that their place of business has received' advertising thru the source as could not have possibly been received in any other way. The giving of coupons brought people to the village who have never traded here before and it is a safe bet that oth^r business men besides the firm sponsoring the campaign also came in for some benefits as the result of McGee & Conway's enterprise. The drawing could no have bean any fairer .and we believe that everyone concerned is perfectly satisfied with the manner in which same was conducted.- ^ Surprised on Birthday John Sterbenz, who resides on a Jjjgeld at the county jail at Woodstock jgnn southwest of town, was surprised disposed of y^y a group of relatives and friends in celebration of his fifty-sixth birthday anniversary one evening last week.

E. Wiswall in Chicago on Wednesday morning of last week, mention of which was made in these columns in our previous issue, was born at Wesel, Germany, on Feb. 10, 1843. Her maiden niutoa wai Elisabeth Meissen. When still in her tender years her parents, together with the members of the family, left their native country and came to America, landing in Nev York after a voyage that was more or less eventful, an experience that is relfted by most of those who came here in those early days. „? The family came west from New- York and first settled on a farm near New Munster, Wis., where the deceased grew to womanhood. In common with the sturdy settlers of her time, she contributed her mite towards the development of the community in which she grew up and lived to setgrow from a wilderness into a prosperous community. On October 27, 1863, she was united in marriage to Bernard Bugs at New Munster and shortly thereafter she came to take up her residence in this village, a place she has continuously called her home ever since. For over a half century she has resided in the same house on Main street Eleven children were born to the union, four of whom, together with the husband, who passed on about sixteen years ago, have passed on before her. The surviving members of the family are: Mrs. John Stoffel and Mrs. Henry B. Do we of this village; Joseph J. of Rochelle, 111., John J. of Spring Lake, Mich., Mrs. A. E. Wiswall and Charles G. of Chicago and Jacob B. of Belvidere. Besides the immediate family she also leaves a large number of grandchildren as well as several great-grandch i ldren. Mrs. Buss was the type of womanhood which spells kindliness, industry and integrity. These traits of character coupled with a true spirit of Christianity won her the respect and high esteem of a large circle of friends thruout the entire community. She was a member of the Christian Mothers of St. Mary's parish and her obligations to her faith and the future welfare of her family it can truthfully be stated were conscientiously performed. She was a firm believer in education and this fact may readily be attested to by the positions that have been and are now being held by those who called her mother. The funeral took place from her late home at 10:30 last Friday morning and thence from St. Patrick's Catholic church, where requiem high mass was read. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, who performed the last sad rites, also preached a very splendid sermon, during which he eulogized the beautiful life that had been lived by the one whose body was about to be laid at rest. The remains were laid at rest in the family lot in St Mary's cemetery, having been tenderly borne to the grave by her four sons and two sonin- laws. The funeral brought out an unusually large following of relatives and friends, who came to pay their last respects to a neighbor and friend, whose memory will long remain. Elizabeth Miller Miss Elizabeth Miller, who passed away at the family home on Elm street in this village Monday morning, Dec. 27, was borh at Johnsburg on May 20, 1867. Here she was raised and received her early training in the parochial school and also grew to womanhood She continued to make her home there until about twenty-seven years ago when the family moved to this village and where the deceased has since resided. Miss Miller was never strong, as ever since the age of four she has been troubled with asthma. At various times during her life this ailment caused her more or less trouble, but it was not until a short time before her death that her condition really became alarming, the angel of death finally bringing her sufferings to an end. She was always known as a home body and ever since the death of her mother, several years ago, she has been a constant companion to her aged father, for whom she has kept house these many years. Miss Miller was blessed with a kindly disposition and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends She was a member of St. Clara Court W. C. O. F., of this village and always displayed a kindly interest in that fra ternal organization. Surviving the deceased are an aged father, Henry Miller; one brother and seven sisters, as follows: John H Miller of this village; Mrs. Lou Althsff, Mrs. Stephen Heimer, Mrs. Eva Steinbach, Mrs. Lou Seeger tf Kn- .The (Mice of milk for January is $2.50 per hundred pounds or $2.06 for an eight gallon can, which is ten cents lower than the price paid the previous month. While occasionally one hears a dairyman say that he is satisfied with the new price, the majority of the milk producers thruout tHhs section are heard to express themselves anything Jbut over-joyed oyer the decision of a ten cent reduction. According to reports, heads of the Co-operative Marketing company, when in session with the big Chicago dealers last Friday morning, held out for a continuation of the December rate. Dealers declared, however, that present marketing conditions necessitated a change. Regarding the big meeting of the milk producers held at Elgin last Thursday, the Courier of that city had the following to say in its Friday's edition: "Continuation of' the ten par cent monthly assessment was urged, date of the stock selling campaign fixed, steps taken to further organize Wisconsin farmers and general plans for the new year were discussed at yesterday's get-together session of Cooperative Market company delegates at Woodman hall. Upwards of 200 milk producers, representing locals Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, were present. 'With the $1,500,000 capital stock increase approved, the delegates voted to launch their stock selling drive on January 6. Meetings of every local of the Milk Producers' association will be held on that date. Altho no definite action was taken, officials of the milk producers urged that the retail milk business, started year ago, be taken over by the rganization. It was declared that if this change could be made, the business could be handled more economically than by the Marketing company. An effort to boost the monthly pread against members of the marketing company failed to meet with the approval of the delegates. One of the speakers asked to increase the assessment to insure sufficient funds to carry on the business. "Among the speakers were W. J. Kittle, marketi^Oc6mpany manager; F. H. Reese of^^mdee, J. M. Bailey of Stoughton, Adolph Marsh of Burlington and H. C. Bernhardt of Itasca. Kittle talked for almost two hours on present conditions and future plans of the mai keting company. He urged an extension of the Wisconsin district. 'Dairymen in the Chicago district are better off than those shipping to Milwaukee, where only $1.55 is being paid for an eight gallon can of milk. MNk, however, is now selling on a butter fat basis of $2 per hundred, it was said. Much of the milk is being skimmed and the skimmed milk thrown away, it was reported, so much that at the Genoa Junction plant it is clogging the sewers/^ WILL MEET TUESDAY NIGHT Fox River Valley Deep Waterway Asaaeiatkm to Meet In Chicago As a result of the committee meeting held in Chicago on Wednesday of last week a general meeting of everyone interested in Fox river and the chain of lakes to the north will be held on the second floor of Hotel Sherman, Chicago, on Tuesday evening of next week, Jan. 11, at which time it is hoped a permanent organ ization will be formed.' The committee, which has thus taken hold of the activities of the association, is a LIVE ONE and if it is given the co-operation of the property owners along the river and chain of lakes as well as the business and professional men oi McHenry we are sure that our dam will be saved and also that we will witness <a great improvement in our community as a summer resort It is hoped that a fair representation of McHenry's business men will be present at the meeting next T^es day night osha, Wis.; Mrs. George L. Chamberlain of Milwaukee, Wis.; Mrs. Jos J. Mertes of Pistakee Bay and Mrs C. M. Bickler of Johnsburg. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church in this village on Wednesday of ,ast week' with Rev. Charles* > Bartoscheck erf St. Michael's parish, Chicago, ofHciatf. Two sermons, one in English and the other in German, were given by the pastoij. The members of St. Clara court attended in a body. Interment was made in the family lot in St Mary's cemetery. Card of Thanks We wish in this public manner to express our sincere thanks to those who assisted us and extended sympathy ^luring the last illness and after the death of our beloved one. Especially do we wish to thank the members of St Clara court, the donom of flowers and those who tendered their automobiles at the funeral. Henry Miller A Faaafly.

The time for filing the annual income tax reports is once more at hand and, in keeping with the progressive atmosphere of the two institutions, officials of the Fox River Valley State bank of this village and those of the Ringwood State bank announce their success in obtaining the services of Peter M. J us ten of this village, an in- Come tax expert, whose services and advice will be at the disposal of the public during the next few weeks to come. Mr. Justen, while employed in the income tax department of the federal government a few years ago, gained invaluable knowledge and thru experience while thus engaged has fitted himself to qualify as an expert in this line of work. In fact, his record while employed in the federal department stands high among the hundreds of men who are now and have been likewise engaged. The officials of the two banks above named consider themselves vary fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Justen, as at this time of the year they are very much sought after. He has, in the past few years, done considerable work along this particular line with large concerns and individuals at Elgin and Aurora, where his services first became recognized during the years that he was employed with the government So thoro and satisfactory was his work while thus employed that, as previously stated, his services have been in demand ever since his retirement from government employment. The service here will begin just as soon as income tax blanks are received and will continue until the last day of filing reports. The assistance to be given by Mr. Justen will only be rendered at the offices of the two banks mentioned and on such dates as shall later be determined and announced. Appointments may be made by calling at or phoning either bank. No charge will be made for the assistance rendered. Bank officials or employes will not )m expected to assist or to be advised con' oerning information as given to the expert. Therefore all may rest assured that their business affairs will not even be known to the bank unless they are consulted. Mr. Justen also wishes to assure the public that all matters brought to him will be con lidential, thus those desiring his help or advice need not hesitate about calling on him. In summing up the income tax situation Mr. Justen has kindly handed us a number of facts, which we herewith reproduce, and which should be carefully read by everyone who will be obliged to file a report between now and March 15: Grooming Facte Far Incotae Tax Uncle Sam in the future will listen to no excuses about neglected tax figures. The requirements of the law are so well known, they say, that no farmer or merchant has any grounds on which to excuse himself for not making his tax return at the proper time. There will be income taxes collected in years yet to come and each year Uncle Sam is going to come down harder on the man whose tax report fails to reveal the true facts. No farmer or merchant could make better use right now of a little of his time than by studying his system or records and by making sure that it will produce just the information for the next income tax return that the government demands, namely the 1920 return, to be filedon or before March 15, 1921. To some this may seem to imply an elaborate system of accounting, but nothing of the sort is intended. It simply means knowing the amount of your gross sales, income from business service, cost of goods sold and operating and selling expenses for the tax period. Accurate figures are demanded and if you haven't them the revenue inspector will find som^ mewis to obtain them for you. You will. in the end, however, that it is betlf to prepare the information yoursel from figures that you know actually cover every phase of your business. You should be sure you have the correct total of your gross sales for the year. Your gross income, of course, should include receipts from all other sources, but in your report they are figured separately from the income from your business. Cost is one of the items that gives more or less trouble, because not so many have , such a system in their business. Legitimate operating and selling expenses should include rent, labor, interest on indebtedness, taxes, light, heat, advertising, insurance, depreciation, ete. The inventory, which cannot ha taken without some form of account, is the compass of a business. Without it the direction in which the business McHenry is lucky as compared to other communities of the county when it comes to the matter of paying taxes, as the levy here is oonsiderably below the larger cities and towns of the county. Over at Woodstock, for instance, the increase this year is $1.60 over that of last; at Harvard the increase amounts to $1.05; Crystal Lake, 83 cents. Here in McHenry the increase amounts to 62 cents Rate levies for McHenry for 1919 and 192.0 follows: • - *v' > - - 1919 State' ^ »»^$ .40 County' £4 Town .1 ,]i *. ,v -J&8 "" 'M; .66 i.f; 1.33 • i. •••. 1.16 Road and bridge, City School ~' 1920 $ .40 £6 .11 J6 1X2 1.10 .64 $4-48 Additional school taxes, caused by the voting of community high schools, have boosted the assessments thruout the entire county.

The return required by the government under the revenue law cannot be made with any degree of accuracy without books of account and annual inventories. It is the duty of every citizen to keep in close touch, with his business thru record keeping and otherwise so as to maintain the greatest efficiency and render to his government every cent due in taxes. The government is growing more strict in enforcing the income tax law. This law has come to stay and we urge upon you the great importance of keeping accurate account of all business transactions, whether you have to pay income tax or not. The government wants to know exactly what your income is. You can't guess. You can't make excuses. You contemplates the building of a residence thereon.
