Buch hotel building near the river bridge. Public announcement of his intentions are this week being made thru the columns of The Plaindealer by Mr. Kkrls and, while scores of patrons of the place will, no doubt, be sorry to learn of his decision, it comes thru necessity and not choice. Restaurant hours are long and this coupled with the labor situation makes a business of this sort a most strenuous one for those so engaged. As a matter of fact, the strain has so affected Mrs. Karls that she has been advised by the family physician to get out and take a much needed rest. Mr. Karls, too, has put in many long hours. He has put in all the way from twelve to twenty hours a day ever since he opened the place on thp river and therefore feels that he, too, is entitled to a rest. Mr. Karls has Intention of the department to mount J not as yet decided as to his future the chemical tank as taken from the pians> but before again entering into old fire truck on the new chassis, j business he plans on a well deserved Which will provide a splendid chemical | rest for himself and wife. outfit to be used in connection with McHENRY ORCHESTRA GAINING IN POPULARITY Frank Gans and his Polly Prim or- LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES .PUTTING IN HARD WORK--HAYES ON PROGRESSIVE TICKET The national election will take place next Tuesday, Nov. 4, and as a natural consequence the voters of this community are beginning to show much interest. The three polling places in McHenry township will be Woodman hall, Ringwood, where the voters of precinct No. 1 will register their ballots; city hall, McHenry, precinct No. 2, and the Colby building on Riverside Drive, precinct No. 3. The polls will open at seven o'clock in the morning and close at 5:00 in the evening. Quite naturally the presidential race holds the center of interest. As near as we are able to ascertain, McHenry township will give the Republican candidate, President Calvin Coolidge, a majority, while those who follow politics more closely than others are of the opinion that Robert M. LaFollette will run him a close second. There are a few, however, who are predicting that thp Progressive candidate will carry McHenry township. There are but few who are willing to predict any show for the Democratic candidate. Second in point of interest will be the race for the Illinois legislature, for which offices there are five candidates with but three to he elected. The Republican ticket has three of these candidates: Charles H. Francis of Woodstock, William Weiss of Wau kegan and N. L. Jackson of Belvidere. Thos. Graham of Ingleside is the Democratic nominee and Charles F»,-Hayes of Harvard the Progressive. According to the present outlook The Plaindealer is glad to announce that arrangements have been made whereby the following features and departments will hereafter appear regularly and continuously in each issue we publish: ; . « A complete review interesting state news. . Edward Picksrd's weekly news rev i e w . . . . . . A reliable agricultural department. A special article by John Dickinson Sherman. Inaddition to these regular features Therlaindealer is running the interesting serial story, "Thunder Gate." The foregoing list of features and departments affords readers of this paper probably as wide a variety of interesting reading as can be assembled in one publication whose subscription price equals that of The Plaindealer. The development of the continued department and feature idea during the past few years is one of the most notable of the changes in the methods of making newspapers. This announcement will serve to identify The Plaindealer with this progress and also afford an opportunity of impressing upon subscribers just what each issue brings to them. The Plaindealer strives at all times, both in its local news and departments and features, to give that quality of service which makes it of value to both subscribers and advertisers.

YEGGS IT RINGWOOD BLOW DOOR TO SAFE IN STATE fi 4 BANKBUILDING f; CfttTS UP JOB WHEN THE#¥A!H IN THEIR EFFORT TO PWRCE INNER WALLS Less than $200 was the reward of the yeggmen who entered the Ringwood State bank at Ringwood some time during the early ihours of last Monday morning. Entrance to the building was made by forcing two rear doors. The yeggmen succeeded in blowing the door to the "big safe, but this is as far as they got. The safe is of the Manganese type, which in reality is a safe within a safe. Most of the money was contained in the inner safe, the walls of which are made of such peculiar metal as to resist the ordinary heat or drills. That the work was that of experienced safe blowers is seen in the fact that the yeggs evidently gave up in despair after having reached this burglar- proof wall. The money as secured, all of a bulky nature, for which there was no room in the inner circle, had been left between the two compartihents of the safe. The men left without leaving a clew. There is no one who heard the explosion which wrecked the door to the safe and consequently the intruders came and again made their departure without leaving the slightest trace. The Ringwood bank carries burglary insurance wfth the Ocean Insurance company and therefore the small loss as sustained last Monday morning Will be made good by this company. Two of the company's men drove to Ring wood on Monday afternoon, made an investigation, secured all of the information available and thence returned PROGRESSIVES TONIGHT AND A JONES MEETING SATURDAY The political campaign, which up to: this week has been rather dull and uninteresting so far as McHenry voters have been considered, is to be enlivened locally witfi two meetings to be held here this week.
