SPflfiPW^ Oaten A Wollar is the name of a new •hoe firm thathas opened up for busi­ ness in the Schnorr block on the West ®de and are now ready to serve the public in their line. Both gentlemen are well versed in their line aod it looks to us as tho they should make good in McHenry. McHenry, we believe, is large enough to support ui exclusive shoe store and since these two young men have taken it upon themselves to give McHenry a Store of this kind we believe they •hould be given your consideration when it comes to the shoe question. Mr. Osten is an expert shoe man and has been employed during the past five years as a shoe buyer for a large Chi­ cago concern. He appears to be well acquainted with the shoe business and his knowledge and experience should assist him greatly in giving the people of this vicinity just exactly what they want in the line of shoes. Mr. Wollar is the repair man and will have charge of all the repair work that may come his way. Mr. Wollar informs the writer that he grew up and has spent his entire life in this line of work and assures satisfaction at the right prices. The firm wants it understood that they will not turn away one penny's worth of repair work and will gladly do your work for you even tho there is only a nickle in it. The new firm will carry a complete line of shoes for the whole family and will sell at prices that should meet with your approval. ^ The Schnorr buildirtg has been wired and supplied with electric light fixtures and in the future the building will be lighted in this manner. Watch their show windows for display. MMM DEALT BLOW OF GAME PERMITTED THE STATE. IN CONSIDER THE HORSES TOO MUCH CARE CANNOT BE GIVEN TtfEM THESE DAYS. Bad news for Illinois hunters comes from Springfield just as the old year Is going into a clinch with the new. No longer will the nimrod be able to ahip a brace of ducks or half a dozen quail to his "best friend" at home. That is the edict of Attorney General Stead, who has laid down the law at the' request of John A. Wheeler, state game commissioner. Mr. Wheeler, who has had some trouble with pot hunters and others in regard to shipment of game, asked Mr. Stead lor the advice, which turned out to be of the two-edged variety. <4 been believed that the game during the open jlied to game which offered for sale. Now ).its all alike, and in the tie who ships as much as a to land in a jail. Hterpi*etation of the law will sndency to affect all hunters no longer be safe *or the •o prove to his friends at home good shot he is. Whether or not it actually will prohibit the carry­ ing of game by the hunter himself is not explained by Mr. Stead. It may or it may not. CASE WAS DISMISSED. Grayslake Timee: Another slot machine case was brought here from Fox Lake and was tried before Judge Fitch Wednesday forenoon. The case was State of Illinois vs. Chas. Pasde- loup. The defendant was charged with Operating a slot machine in his saloon The case was called at 10 o'clock, but State's Attorney Dady failed to ap­ pear. R. W. Churchill, who was rep­ resenting the defendant, asked that all witnesses excepting the one testi­ fying be excluded from the court room. This was granted. Before the case proceeded the judge declared that to him it appeared as tho the case was Me which was brought about thru personal grievances, and asked that a jury be asked to hear the case. This was not done, however, and after lis­ tening to the testimony of two of the complainants, he stated that the case was exactly as he had stated before it was started, and that he refused to render a decision, then disrnitmed the case. WO PENNIES IN THE RURAL MAIL BOXES. Now that the days of winter are again here, it is not at all amiss that the rural route patrons be cautioned not to put pennies in the mail boxes expecting the carriers to accept them in place of stamps. Carriers are no longer required by law to collect loose coins from the boxes for postage. This ruling became a necessity because the time required to collect such coins caused serious delay in the delivery and collection of mail and because of the hardship imposed on carriers when compelled to gather small coins one by OUB, especially in rain or cold. NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT. Those knowing themselves to be in Uebted to me will kindly call at the .West, McHenry State bank and have Itheir accounts adj us ted. I have author­ ized C. W. Stenger to collect and give Auction Sale! GEO. VOGEL, Auctioneer In this icy weather a man has to look well how he steps or he will court fall and injury. When traveling on slippery walks is difficult for a human, with mind and judgment and freedom to act, how much more difficult it must be for a horse. The horse is hampered in his movements by his harness. His shoes are often neglected so that he cannot hold on firmly when stepping on ice. He is obliged to go where his driver wills. Too often the driver feels the cold nipping his nose or fin­ gers, gets in a hurry and whips up the horse regardless of the condition of the road. Sometimes the horse is brought up to a sharp stop with a cruel jerk on the bit, and left to stand a longer or shorter time. The driver has not thought of the strain on the muscles of the horse nor the animal's anxiety of mind caused by fear of fall­ ing. The horse may be warm from fast going and left without cover. Some who cover their horses do so in a careless manner, so that the first gust of wind sweeps the blanket away where it does him no good. Men who have the care of horses should see that they are properly shod. The driver should use special care in driving over icy places and turning corners in order to avoid falls and to prevent too great strain on muscles. In cold weather the horse needs more food and plenty of water at the right time. He needs more careful brush­ ing and currying to keep his coat in good order. He needs a good rubbing down to rest the mucles. Men who employ boys to drive and care for horses should watch how the horse fares. Some boys are cruel from thoughtlessness or ignorance. Ad­ monition from the employer would make many a driver more intelligently humane and insure better care of many a horse. If one does not care for a horse from humane reasons, he should do so for selfish reasons. A horse well taken care of is worth more than a neglected and abused horse and renders better service. COMPLETES ADDITION TO BOAT FACTORY. L. Larsen has just about completed construction of a 60x32 addition to the boat factory building at Fox Lake, which is about the size of the new ad­ dition, making the size of the whole building about 30x120 feet with the rear end abutting on the lake. They are busily engaged at this time mak­ ing boats for the coming season as well as making repairs on boats that are stored there for the winter. Mr. Larsen is a boat builder of the old school, working with his father, who is a ship builder in the old country, many years before he came to Amer­ ica. That there are some fine boats on the lake, as is evidenced by the fact that some of the boats contain four cylinder engines of the automo­ bile type. This type of engine is used because it has been demonstrated that there is less vibration, consequently lengthening the life of the boat, as well as developing higher power. LAST NUMBER OF LECTURE COURSE. The last number of the high school entertainment course took place at the Central opera house on Friday even­ ing of last week. Dr. T. H. Kuhn gave his lecture on "The Forces of Destiny" and highly pleased the small crowd that turned out to hear him. The lecture course just ended was quite a successful one and, altho one or two of the numbers did not come up to expectations, those who purchased season tickets are well satisfied and feel that they have been given their jreceipts tor outstanding accounts. 25-tf Albsbt Etten.

Work of filling the McHenry Brew­ ing company's ice houses here was fin­ ished on Tuesday afternoon of this week. The ice this year is of the very best quality and Worts & Boley are pleased that the annual ice harvest, so far as they are concerned, is complet­ ed. The men who assisted the brewers in filling the houses are worthy of con­ siderable credit for the manner in which they stuck to their jobs during the coldest spell that we have exper­ ienced in years. Some of the men suf­ fered frozen faces, fingers and, in one instance, a frozen tongue, but all were game and stuck it out. The Borden Milk company is now having its large houses filled here and it's safe to pre­ dict that the ice men will be kept busy on this job for at least a week or two.

Druggists West McHenry * Typewriters Given Away The Emerson Typewriter company of Woodstock, 111., have recently given away over 400 of the highest grade, wholly visible Emerson Type­ writers made in the world. They have gone into every state and terri­ tory in the United States. There may be some in your town. They are giv­ ing them away everywhere to men, women, boys and girls, over 18 years of age, en surprisingly liberal condi­ tions. If you could make any use of a 8100.00 typewriter, providing It did not cost you even one cent, then in a letter or on a postal card addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President, Woodstock, 111., simply say, "Mail me all your Free Offers," and by return mail you will receive their Free Of­ fers, the names of over 400 who have recently received typewriters free, and you will learn on what easy condi­ tions you can get one of their type­ writers f^ee right away. The Emerson Typewriter is one of the highest grade, wholly visible typewriters made in the world. Many who have used the "EMERSON" and other makes pronounce the "EMER­ SON" superior to any $100.00 type­ writer on the market. It is a wholly visible machine, has every new, up- to-date feature, looks like other high grade $100.00 typewriters, though it sells regulai v for less and on terms of $1.00 down s ad 10 cents a day un­ til paid for. The "EMERSON" has every new improvement, universal keyboard, back spacer, tabulator, two- color ribbon, everything the best; is the ideal machine for beginners as well as for the most expert typists and stenographers; just the type­ writer for the smallest or largest office. If you could possibly make any use of a high grade typewriter, even though it didn't cost you one cent of money, then be sure, on a postal card or in a letter addressed to Frank L.
