Centuries ago these same words were spoken from the lips of an Indian. After all these years have passed, the'same may be applied at this timel And it all comes about in this manner: Li*6t evening a mass meeting was held at the village hall here and as a conse­ quence an old settlers' meeting and home-coming will be held in McHenry on Monday, September 1. " ^ McHenry hasn't had a celebration of any sort, in so many years that our neighbors really began to think that the old town was dead. It is with a glad heart that we are able to tell our readers that McHenry is about to show the outside world that we are still on the map. - • The McHenry business men in gen­ eral are heartily in favor of the big event and we are sure that each and every one will lend financial assistance so that the old. town will be able to pull off a day the like of which Mc­ Henry has never before seen. At last night's meeting a committee was appointed to solicit funds and from now on preparations for the event will go on until every detail is well looked after and cared for. Let every true McHenryite lend the committee his loyal support and en­ couragement and we feel sure that the old settlers' meeting and home-coming on September 1- will terminate into one grand success. More particulars regarding the event will appear in these columns next weekl Our new sample books tor fall and winter, 1»13-1914, are now ready for your'inspection. for men's and ladies' suits and coats.

Hatch at Spring Grove on Wednesday afternoon of last week. About seventy-five were present. Miss Eva Robinson of the University of Chi­ cago was on the afternoon's program and in her usual pleading manner dem­ onstrated the art of cake making. Mrs. Frederic A. Dow, president of the State Federation of Women's club, was also present as a guest of honor. She added to the afternoon's pleasures by speaking most entertainingly of the wiork of the body that stye represented.

Olson, Mrs. Chas: Wand- rank and Mrs. Jerry Richards of Wood­ stock; Mrs. Walter Carey and daugh­ ters of Wilmot, tfis., and* Miss Petges of Libertyville.

This club, altho quite young> has met with great success and its work is al­ ready widely known. The club's next big social affair will be held at Spring Grove from September 15 to 20. At this time a farm festival and children's flower and vegetable show will be held.

The city of Lake Geneva now has a fully equipped fire department house. Several members of the McHenry County Motor Cycle club made a run to Chicago and back a week ago last Sunday. For the first time in nine years, the president of the village boardUqf Grays- lake cast a vote1 at a meetSngT of that b o d y l a s t w e e k . . . . An automobile bus line is now being operated betw'een Marengo and Har­ vard. This is done to accommodate those desiring to go north. According to the reCent appropria­ tion passed by the city of Harvard, it takes $45,350 to pay the running ex­ penses of that city for onei year. The annual fish - given by Dorr Thomas at Algonquin on July 24 was attended by about 400. , E. D. Shurt- leff and D. T. Smiley were among the speakers. . v Waukegan will „soon have a home for working girls. The institution is to be erected at a cost of about $10,000 and will accommodate about twenty girls. The home wijl furnish board, room and washing for the small sum of $3.00 per week. The women qf Harvard will be given their first opportunity to vote on August 29, when a special election will-be held in that city to determine whether or not the city is willing to submit to a $10,000 bond issue. The bond issue is to obtain funds for improving their water system. The new model orthe Emerson type­ writer is now ready for manufacture and just as soon as the mechanics have the dies and necessary machinery fin­ ished work "in the Emerson factory at Woodstock will be resumed. It is ex­ pected that the factory will be re­ opened shortly with-a larger working force than ever. The First Congregational church of East Chicago, Ind., will be faced with terra cotta made at the Terra Cotta plant. The Terra Cotta concern also has the contract for the terra cotta to be used on a Michigan boulevard build­ ing in Chicago. This contract alone calls for 1,400 tons of terra cotta or fifty-three carloads of finished product. Elgin News: Boys and girls who go for the old style joy ride with a horse and buggy will not read with com­ placence the law which requires every vehicle driving along a public highway in Illinois to have at least one lighted lamp visible at least 200 feet ahead and the same distanoe in the rear. The law applies between sunset and one hour before sunrise, and violation of its provisions is punishable by a line of from $5 to $25. Engineers have completed their sur­ vey of the Elgin road race course west of that city, since the cutting out of the Hairpin turn, and report that the entire distance has been shortened only 409 feet. The distance about the course-is now 8 miles, 2,030 feet. Ex­ perts believe race drivers will be able to maintain a speed of sixty miles an hour making this turn, and that the average speed per hour will be in­ creased by two'or three miles as a re­ sult. i State Secretary Woods has licensed the Elgin National Milk Flotfr com­ pany, of Elgin, to incorporate with $100,000 capital stock. The object is to manufacture milk and pure food prod­ ucts. The milk flour project has been the subject of much study and experi­ ment among creamery menu In short, it is a method by which milk can be reduced to a dry form for use in the commercial world, giving facilities for shipping rfnd storage. Many of the biggest dairy companies have spent fortunes in experimenting. Harvard Herald: Chas. Wand rack, former sheriff and stock food inspector in the service of the state during the last two years, has been reinstated fol­ lowing charges preferred against him for negligence of duty. Mr. Wand- rack was detailed to assist another in­ spector in St. Clair county and it was charged Mr. Wandrack did not enforce the sanitary laws in the performance of his duty, and his suspension followed the charges filed with the civil service commission. Mr. Wandrack asked for & hearing and J<*st Saturday he ap­ peared before the commission in Chi­ cago with V. S. Lumley of Woodstock as his attorney. Mr. Lumley contend­ ed that Mr. Wandrack could not have been negligent of his duty inhdisregard- ing the sanitary laws because he was a stock food inspector and not a sanitary {pod inspector. He also showed by memorandums and daily reports from Mr. Wandrack'S record of two years in the service that he performed faithful service and that his work in many in­ stances exceeded that of two or three ordinary stock food inspectors. Fol­ lowing Mr. Lumley's argument to the civil service commission, the latter issued an order reinstating Mr. Wand­ rack, who is again in the service of WANT $25,000 3^ Vf|At*8 PROPOSITION MADE BY FACTORY OFFICIALS As noted in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, McHenry has an oppor­ tunity to secure a factory, providing her citizens come forward and sub­ scribe $25,000 worth of stock in the in­ dustry which seeks a location here. Whether or not the factory comes to McHenry remains with our people and if the necessary $25,000 is subscribed we surely will get the new institution The writer has interviewed several of the business men here on the prop osition and all seem to be of the opinion that the money can never be raised The canning factory is still ripe in the minds of those who took out stock in the institution and the experience of the business men of Woodstock and Harvard with small factories that never made good has not been forgotten. Tlfus it looks like McHenry would pass up our latest factory proposition, unless the company comes across with a better and more reasonable pro(>osition. Regarding the proposition, Chas. B. Harnisen, secretary of the jJlcHenry Industrial association^ received the following letter, whieh he hantied us for publication. The letter is self ex­ planatory and reads as follows: ! Cliieago, August 11, 1913. Chas. fi. Ilarmsen, -Sec. McHenry Indusr Assai, iicHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir--This company is looking for a location outride of Chicago and we have been referred to you :B|"|lr. F. G. Schreiner of your city. s Our payroll to commence will be ap­ proximately $1400 per month, but will increase rapidly as we get straightened^ out and would say that It will be in ex­ cess of $20,000 per annum within 18 months. Will employ at the start 25 people, exclusive of office force, 14 men and ll vjjirls, but no children. The girls do the winding and their pay will average $9 per week aud the men a little 'n excess of $15 per week the year round. With the desired work­ ing capital at the present time, we are confident that within three years should have more than three times ttie equipment, force and consequent pay­ roll of the present time to meet the demands of the trade. Our product is the best of its kind on the market and there is a steady and ever increasing demand for it. We have been in business a little over three years and have the reputa­ tion of producing the best enamel in­ sulated wire made in the world. Our product is used by such concerns as the Westinghouse -company, Ft. Wayne Electric works, Fairbanks-Morse A Co., et al. Organized under the laws of the state of Illinois with a capital stock of $100,000, of which $33,000 has been issued, balance in treasurer. The stock issued is common and the only require­ ment wanted from the city where we locate would be to subscribe or guar­ antee a subscription of -$25,000 to our 7% preferred Btock for working capi­ ta); furnish us with a substantial local man for president and also one for treasurer. Will require about 5000 square feet Hoor space in a good brick or fireproof building. If you think, after reading this let­ ter, that we can get together and make arrangements which would be mutual­ ly beneficial, the writer will be pleased to call upon yon in person and close the matter up immediately, and also give any additional information that might be desired.

STANDPIPE TO BE CLEANED The standpipe will be cleaned to­ morrow (Friday), August 15. Water users bear this fact in mind and pro­ vide themselves with plenty of water to hold them over. This is a thing that must or should be done each year and we believe that the water users can get along without it for one day. Don't forget, no city water tomorrow.

HSTAKEE BAY ANOTHER BIG EVENT AT PISTAKEE BAY NEXT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY--OTHER 4 NOTES In spite of the rain of last Sunday, the hotels did a good business on that day. Seven members of the Rambler club of Dunde«t passed Sunday at Pistakee Bay. , Mrs. K- A. Rauser and Mrs. H. L. Lemon of Chicago were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. McOmber at Jocell cottage. Miss Laura McBride returned to her home in Elgin last Friday after a two weeks' visit at Pistakee Bay aa the guest of Miss Ethel Reebie. Harry Doerk and Joseph Sturm of Chicago passed the latter part of last week as guests in the summer home of TJeorge Evans and family on Fox river, near here. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Schau, who have a summer home at Rosedale, on Fox river, left last Friday forDenver, Colo., to be in attendance at the Knights Templar conclave. The tango is all the rage at the dancing resorts at Pistakee Bay and Ft>x Lake these days. Everybody seems to be dancing it and everyone has a way of their own.. The moving picture show at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion last Sat­ urday evening was attended by a large crowd of resorters. The pictures were the very best ever $hown at the pa­ vilion. ' Miss Alma Kaindl of Chicago pfssed the latter part of la^tweek as the guest of Miss Mabel Schau at the Schau cot­ tage at Rosedale, on Fox river. Miss Clara Kaindl was out Saturday and Sunday. The weekly card parties at the Pis­ takee Yacht club pavilion are more popular than ever this year and the young ladies as well as the married women of the club are having great times at these social-gatherings. The motor boat "Wisconsin," owned by the Kenosha pirates, Robt. Nicholl, Jr., William Grosvenor and Mark Han­ sen, which has been built to cruise the waters of Fox river and the chain of lakes, was launched here last Sunday. Owing to sickness, the family of Adam J. Weckler have returned to their winter home in Chicago. The Weckler family is generally among the first and last resorters at Pistakee Bay and their departure, especially at this early date, is regretted by the re- (K>rters in general. The Oriole camp on Fox river, just south of the Orchard Beach sanator­ ium, is one of the lively spots at this time. The camp is occupied by a num­ ber of the boys this week, who are en­ deavoring to make the best of their annual vacation. On Sunday a large crowd was at the camp. SoiAe of the boys brought their instruments with them and things on that day were any­ thing but dull. In the evening the boys entertained a large crowd at the de|>ot. The time and harmony to their selections as played at the depot was something grand (?). Next Saturday and Sunday will again see something doing at Stiiling's re­ sort at Pistakee Bay. Mr. Thompson has again made arrangements for the holding of special yacht and power boat races and other entertainment for these two days. On Saturday yacht races will be held, while on Sunday the power boats will again line up for honors. Seven big prizes will be hung up for the Sunday race, while three prizes will be awarded on Saturday. The prizes will be in the form of cups and medals. Hughes' 12-piece orches­ tra of Woodstock has been engaged and will furnish music on Saturday afternoon and evening and all day Sun­ day. Everybody is invited. The big carnival, given by Landlord T. A. Thompson of Stiiling's hotel at Pistakee Bay last week, proved a big success in every way. This is the first time an entertainment of this kind was ever attempted at this popular resort and so encouraged was Mr. Thompson that other events of this nature will follow'in th#future. The presence of the Oliver Typewriter Military band of Woodstock on Saturday and Sunday brought out a big crowd and, to say the least, the concerts were immensely enjoyed by the vast throng present While Sunday was anything but a pleasant day to be out, a large crowd congregated to listen to the concerts and witness the power boat race, which was .pulled off during the afternoon. The race was participated in by only- speed boats and the event proved a most interesting one. The boats all finished within twenty seeonds of one another, the finish being one of the prettiest ever witnessed at the Bay. Andrew McAnsli's boat was declared the winner in this event and the owner of the boat is now the proud possessor of the beautiful cup donated by Land­ lord Thompson. The Schau boat oi Fox Lake finished second, Geo. J. Say- er's third and Adam Weckler's fourth. The race was a ten-mile event. Every­ thing that goes to make up a carnival of this sort was at hand, even the ticklers suu cuufeiti were not missing. All told, the event was a success both financially. HENRY COUNTY FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS THIS YEAR \ A meeting of the officers and super- intendends of the McHenry county fair was held at the court house Sat­ urday, August 2. Present: Ben Throop, Pres.; John M. Walknp, Vice-Pres.; J. M- Hoy, Treas.;Theo. Hamer, Sec.; Dr. W. W. Lichty, General Supt., and superin­ tendents and members of the executive committee as follows: Frank J. Green. Robert E. Haeger, D. W. Thomas, Geo^A, Gay, F. E. Thayer, C. E. Row­ ley, Geo. Moore, C. E. Jones, G. E. Stiil,!V. N. Ford, Mrs. Geo. Miller, Mrs. T. H„ Brown, Mrs. E. E. Green- ley, Mrs. Chas. Sehaaf. The coming fair was discussed and reports made by the different superin­ tendents. According to present indl cations, the fair for 1913 will far eclipse those of previous years in the way of amusements, privileges and exhibits. The contract entered into by the board of directors with the Clifton Kelly Car­ nival company for running on the fair grounds day and night was .discussed and all present expressed themselves as being a move in the right direction All agreed that ion account of this new inovation the people generally are talking more about the fair and taking a greater interest in it than ever be­ fore. It was voted to have ball games as heretofore and the secretary was in­ structed to make arrangements for the same. A trip to the fair grounds was taken and it was decided to make a nuinbe r of needed improvements, among them being the reshingling of the grand stand. ^ Superintendent of privileges, C. E. Jones, submitted a report on the car­ nival company engaged by him and from the information gathered by him from reliable sources the management of the fair can -assure its patrons that this company has a very high-class, clean and moral line of amusements. It was also decided to change the present dining hall- into a dancing pa­ vilion. This is also something new and would that, with the public's de­ sire for dancing, it should be one of the attractive features of the fair. The secretary reported that he has received many inquiries from exhib­ itors of livestock and poultry, a uum- ber of Reservations already .having been made, and he expressed his opin Ion that there would be no dearth of entries in these departments. The superintendent of speed made a report to the effect that much interest was being manifested in the speed de­ partment. the feature of special inter­ est being a race made up entirely of Harvard horses. Another attraction that has been engaged is the Du Brocks polo horses, a show that will require a space nearly two hundred feet square. It has an outfit of twenty-four high-class horses, some of them being running horses ITDIS OF LOCAL UTERES? 1 AS nCXED or BY nA!NDEALER re- PORTERS DURING WEEK that will contest in some of the run­ ning races on the track, liveried ser­ vants that conduct the horses in a free parade up town and a uniformed band. With all these high-class attractions and amusements for the people, the officers of the fair feel that tbey have done their share and it is noW up to the people to come to the front and do their part. THEO. HAMER, Sec. B#b THR<x>P, Pres. WILLING WORKERS NOTICE There will be an all day gathering of the Willing Workers and all willing helpers at the Universalist church on Thursday, Aug. 21.

There is plenty of sewing planned and it is hoped the men will also come to assist with the outdoor work. A good, social time is sur^ to be had by all who will come. LOOK UNDER THE SURFACE What we sell you in the line of druggists' sundries will have quality clear through, not just on the surface. The hidden quality is often of much importance, especially with such goods as hair brushes,.,tooth brushes and similar lines. Solid, substantial qual­ ities are characteristics of this store. Our large trade has not come to us by chance. Best goods at ijj'ght prices has been the magnet. N. H. Petesch, the druggist. PLIES FLY FROM IT Protect your stock from annoying insects, such as flies, mosquitoes, etc., by sprinkling them with Robert's "Fly Oil." Cows give more milk and horses work harder if their energy is not wasted in fighting fiies. It is harmless and is guaranteed to give perfect pro­ tection. Price, $1.00 per gal. N. H. Petesch. " WATERMELON SOCIAL A SUCCESS The watermelon social given on the lawn at the home of L)r. J. K. Wheeler last night proved a big success.
