The following item is taken from the Chicago Tribune of Tuesday morn­ ing and clearly shows where McHenry really stands when it comes to pro- gressiveness: "Sterling, lit., Ajjril 24.--[Special.] The unsanitary tin Rip at the drinking fountain In the Wal­ lace schools of this city h»ve been ban­ ished by the board of education and sanitary bubbling fountains will be in­ stalled." The board of education of this place saw fit to replace the drink* ing cups by bubbling fountains three years ago. Woodstock voted the im­ provement in last year. Does that show that McHenry is behind the timesV Win. Simes can supply you with the very finest lubricating oils for engine and automobile use to be found on the market today. Better see him.
