This is a rare op­ portunity and should be taken advant­ age of. This paper and The Weekly Inter Ocean--$1.75 for one year ̂ subscription to both. Tuesday is Children's day at the fair. It is aljao Automobile day at the fair. It is hoped that all the schools of the county will be closed on that day in order to give the children an opportpn itv to attend the fair. School children will he admitted free. Superintendents and teachers are re> quested to bring their exhibits to tb« fair by Saturday, Sept. 5. The county superintendent will be at the grounds on that day to assign space to the differ­ ent schools. All exhibits must be in place by Monday night. The necessary expenses incurred by teachers and super­ intendents in arranging their exhibits will be paid by the Fair association Let us have a good exhibit. There will be a farmers' and teachers' meeting in the big tent in the school­ yard of the Diggins district on next Sat­ urday night, Sept. 6. There will be some good speakers present and the musical part of the program will not be overlooked. Topics of interest concern ing the farm and school will be die cussed. Every person interested in the advancement of the homes and schools of McHenry county is urged to be present. Teachers in the country districts of that part of the county cannot afford to usies this opportunity to get sdme helpful suggestions. The Diggins school is lo­ cated about three miles northeast of Marengo. Mrs. Cora Whitaker is the enthusiastic teacher in this school and to her is largely due the credit for this novel meeting. The Baptist association of that neighborhood is now holding meetings in the tent and they have kindly given the use of the tent to the farmers and teachers for this meeting. The Marengo schools have introduced elementary agriculture into their course of study. This is the first step of the kind in any graded school of the count)' and it is to be commended. We have certainly been sluggish in our recog­ nition of a branch of study that really should become the cornerstone of an educational system for rura^ districts such as we represent. Our very exist­ ence is dependent on rational treatment of the soil and whether we will it or not this science must be reckoned with in making up the intellectual menu for the young of our land. . Let the good work go on. The old fashioned spelling-school is being revived. ThiB is good news for the school world. Why would it not be a good plan to revive it in our county during the coming winter? The spell­ ing book and the multiplication table still have a place in the school course and any teacher who interprets their presence or revival as evidence of retro­ gression or old fogyisin is not up in modern pedagogy or psychology as be should be. Don't neglect these funda­ mental things. Thoro mastery of these operations means strength and freedom. The Superintendents' and Principals' association of McHenry county met and organized on last Saturday. Supt. Folk of Harvard was elected president and Prin. Booth of Cary, vice president. They voted to invite Prof. Otis Caldwell to address them at their first meeting on Saturday, Sept. 12. This association meets regnlarly on the second Saturday of every month. Ex-County Superintendent Barber at­ tended the teachers' meeting at Wood­ stock on last Saturday and made a few informal remarks. Mr. Barber's inter­ est in school matters has not abated a single jot and the teachers of the coun­ ty, tho few remain who taught under hie supervision, hold him in high esteem. The work in civil government in our schools could be much improved by a closer reference to the actual community life. It needs thiB in order that it may be vitalized. This means that elections in the community should be, as far as practicable, reproduced in»the school life. Teach the children^* proper re­ spect for, and rational use of the ballot. Lead them to feel an interest in, and an appreciation of the great institutional life about them. This is the only way to guarantee the future of our political existence. This is true patriotism. It is not the "hollering" kind, but it is the rational and sustaining type. Children between the ages of six and fourteen must be in attendance at school every day of the year unless excused by the teacher or directors for sickness or other good reasons. Directors are em­ powered to appoint truant officers to see that this law is obeyed. Any violation of this law should be promptly dealt with. . Nothing avoidable should be allowed to stand in the way of the child in his acquisition of this one great priv­ ilege guaranteed to him by our laws. how to Get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1246 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to become strong. He says: "My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother's case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily grow­ ing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stomach, liver and kidney com­ plaints.

The press notices were exceedingly good in Chi­ cago, New York and Boston and the management promises a still better show this season with added new fea­ tures. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents.

Hill. Arrangements for the meeting of the Old Settlers' association in this village tomorrow, Tuesday, are all completed, and with favorable weather one of the largest gatherings ever seen in this village may be expected. The public sohool opened for the fall term on Monday, with an average at­ tendance. J. A. Sheldon-, principal. At a meeting of the committee to make arrangements for the Old Settlers' meeting, held at the Plaindealer office oh Friday evening, E. E. Thomas was appointed marshal, H. D. Holmes, as­ sistant marshal, and Rev. Joel Wheeler, chaplain. The picnic, for the benefit of the Catholic church, which was held Aug. 25, was largely attended and a general good time had, the receipts, after pay­ ing all expenses, amounting to the hand­ some sum of about $150. Who Shall Wear 6. A. R. Buttons. The statues of Illinois provide that it shall be unlawful for any person to wear the badge or etatriem of the Grand Army of the Republic, the United Span ish War Veterans' association or the Army of the Philippines, unless he shall have been honorably discharged and en titled to wear or use the same under the rules and regulations of the Qrand Army of the Rtpublic. This means that any person who wears the Grand Army button without authority to do so is lia­ ble to a fine of from $10 to $200. In some places boys and even young men haye thought it proper to wear G. A. R. buttons, not knowing that they are do ing a wrong and may be subjected to arrest. Then, too, old soldiers, mem bers of Grand Army posts, who are de linquent in their dnes continue to wear the buttons, when they have no right to do so until tbey pay up whatever they may owe in the way of post dues. These are two species of violations that are more general than they should be and it is likely an effort will be made to look after them more closely in the fu­ ture than in the past. "What Shall We Eat?" Every day the same old question, "What shall we eat for breakfast, for luncheon, for dinner? assails with mo­ notonous regularity the patient house­ wife who seeks to provide good living for the family in agreeable variety at a moderate cost. The Chicago Record- Herald has gone far toward solving the problem by devoting space to three de­ partments on this all important topic in its various issues. "Meals For a Day," which appears daily, gives the daily menu and the necessary recipes. House­ wives everywhere are invited to partici­ pate in the contest and weekly prizes are offered for the best menus. Marion Harland's Sunday page gives weekly a list of selected recipes which if clipped and pasted in a scrapbook make a most valuable collection. "Martha's Man­ agement," which appears on Monday, is filled with good advice and helpful hints to the housewife. The Cause of Many ^ - Sudden Deaths. There Is Country MIOS tl K^l t.» A Paying Investment. Mr. John White, of 88 Highland Ave., Honlton, Maine, says: "Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many ad­ vertised remedies, but the cough contin­ ued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy results has followed; a few doses once more Jaanisb* ed the annual cough. I am now con­ vinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung reme­ dies."

Many sudden deaths are caused by it--heart dis­ ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid­ ney disease. If kidney trouble is l-- allowed toudvauce the kidney-poison- ___ Vw. ed blood will at­ tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys aud a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel­ ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's 5wamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, aud over­ comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil­ mer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Dou't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swautp- Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. \\, on every bottle. LAW LIMIT8 PEARL HUNTING.

After a good deal of study and work we have at last figured out why so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of success: A child is born in the neighborhood, the attending phy­ sician gets $25, the editor gives the loud lunged youngster and happy parents a "send off" and gets $00. It is christen ed; the minister gets $10 and the editor gets $00. It grows up and marries; the editor publishes another long-winded, flowery article and tells a dozen lies about the beautiful and accomplished bride. The minister gets $10 and a piece of cake, the editor gets $000. In the course of time it dies and the doctor gets from $25 to $100, the minister gets another $15, the undertaker gets from $50 to $100; the editor publishes a notice of his death and an obituary two col­ umns long, lidge and society resolutions, a lot of poetry and free card of tbanks, and gets $0,000. No wonder so many country editors get rich.--Morehead Coaster. " A Sure-enough Knocker. J. C. Goodwin, of Reidsville, N. C., says: "Bncklen's Arnica Salve is a sure-enough knocker for nleers.
