SCHAEFER T ' Draying McHENRY, ILLINOIS In Snre-IosDnuice WITH -- Whether you're President o' the hull United States or jest a clerk behind the counter the day holds jest the same amount o'minutes fer both of ye. And if you'll both do the best you kin with all of them you'll both get the same credit in the book of providence. Last week I cranked my flivver up and took Sary Jane and the pup and went down to the husking match; I like to watgh them folks detach the ears from off the stalks, by gum, the winner sure was goin' some! They lined 'em up and fired a gun to show the contest had begun, the ears when flyin' through the air, there wan't no time for loafin' there. Them buskers didn't wait to walk, they jumped along from stalk to stalk, they grabbed them ears from out the shuck, a slow poke would be oat of lock, a-huskin' in that bunch, by heck, he'd git an ear across his neck. Farm life would sure be fine, indeed, if hired men would make such speed, I told my man I'd raise his pay if he would work like that all day, if I had men that husked like that and make the ears go rat-a-tat, I'd sure make up my mind, by gum, that the millenium had come. A huskin' contest sure is great, it makes the farm boys percolate and fills them full of vim and pep, it sure makes them contestant! step. Beside it, pitchin' shoes is tame, it even beats a football game, there ain't no contest that can beat for fun, a right good huskin* meet! "Our waste of time extend# to ttie smallest things," said a McHenry man. "Frequently I decide when reading a magazine that I want an address, but will not take it at the time, preferring subsequently to spend several hours hunting it, retrieving it just as it is about to be consigned to the furnace. # I:-' Twice Tol d Tales firittwsthtg Bits of News Taken From the Columns of the Plainde&ler Fifty and Twenty-five Year* Ago Ladies who have given up" writing mash notes to the -Prince of Wales because he's now too old might try their art on young King Michael. Sanitoriums are places where people who are run down wind up. Break into song if you will, but keep out of strange flats. The woman who wears a fashionable evening dress is very much out of it. A little present often smooths over a terrible past. With a charming air of romance and pleasant sentimentally, the company were discussing how each couple among them first met. "And where did you first meet your wife?" the little man in the corner was asked/ "I did not meet her," he replied solemnly. "She overtook me." Be thankful: But even nowadays, when we sit down before a relative of Kinj? Tut which we fondly nickname a "turkey" we* have got a lot to be thankful for, too, even with all the drawbacks of an advanced civilization. We can be thankful that black shirts came into style the same time as soft coal. That there is yet no law against parting our hair as we like. That we don't have to listen to radio programs unless we wish. That you can't be divorced for throwing gum wrappers in the street. That Cal lives in Washington and Oawes in Chicago. That parsnips will sustain life if worst comes to worst. Wm. G. Schreiner Auctioneering OFFICE AT RESIDENCE Pbone 93-R McHENRY, ILL Men are valuable just in proportion as they are able and willing to work in harmony with other men. When a person loses his ability to cooperate with others, he has joined the Down-and-Out club. Lotta Sand has came back here to live, which her husband died an' left her reel well off. She has things turrible nice in her home an' sets a offle nice tables, bean sort o' special cranky about her coffee. So Mis Les Brane got in the habit of running into Lotta's every few days to borry some coffee an' then she'd pay it back with some cheap Carbuncle's. So finely Lotta jest though she'd put the Carbuncle's into a separate can an' when Mirs. Brane come over for coffee she'd give her back what she'd brang. The secont time it happened Mis Brane says, "You dont seem to be a-buyin as good grade o' coffe as you usta," she says. Another wayto keepjcookies and doughnuts safe from juvenile hands is to lock them in the pantry and hide the key under the soap on the wash- Stand, December, 1877 Chicago market prices are as follows: flour, $7.25; eggs, fresh, 21 cents; butter, 33 cents; lard, 8 cents. Judge T. D. Murphy and Capt. James Nish of Woodstock showed themselves on our streets on Friday last. Good prints, 5 cents per yard; yard wide bleached sheeting 8 to 10 cents per yard; good all wool stocking yarn 90 cents and French bone corsets at 40 cents. Signed P. D. Smith. Any man who neglects to pay for his paper, and expects to enjoy his dinner in the evening and retire to ambroeial slumbers, deceiveth himself and is not wise; for to such comes the nightmare in its most horrible shape. But the man who holds ye editor's receipt for a year in advance, will fold his mantle about him and lie down to pleasant dreams. Joseph Wiedemann at his restaurant near the depot, ia now keeping the celebrated Milwaukee bottled beer, which is without question the finest in the market. He sells it by the single bottle or by the dozen. When in want of a good cool glass of beer do not fail to call "Joe." December, 1902 John Buss expects to finish hia work at M'arengo in about two weeks. He states that only 12,000 bushels of cucumbers were taken in at the factory there this fall. Two years ago over 60,000 bushels were handled. There is considerable talk of putting in a few powerful gasoline lamps on the main streets of MiHenry, but whether the scheme will materialise or not is a question. George Curtis and Wallie Woodburn, representing different companies displayed their lamps before the city council Monday evening, but that body took no action in the matter. It may be that a few of the business men will "chip in" and buy a few of the lamps. 1, 1927 CHRISTMAS W M Our Christmas Club Jjnce a year---at Christmas Time--the whole world seems akin. A spirit 'Iff wanting to make other people happy seems to come oyer us. From this wondrous brotherly feeling has sprang the custom of giving ;gifts ° ? T ^ p d f r i e n d s . i it) much ftieppiness and sunshine as this--ages old--custom of gift giving. However, the lack of ready funds has often rrt:.iy ' ' ' ffiarred the pleasure of thusly expressing such beautiful sentiments. But the Christmas Club completely removes this handicap. Millions now make other millions happy and themselves happier because of this easy way to accumulate money. And Christmas Club members know the full meaning of the words:--A Paid for Christmas is a Merrier Christmas.
