In the past these affairs have ter­ minated into big successes and those behind the movement declare that the event this year will eclipse anything ever attempted in this line in Mc­ Henry. A nifty bunch of prizes will be hung up, which should be sufficient induce­ ment to bring out a big array of cos­ tumes.

Breitenfeld's orchestra of Harvard will furnish the music. Dance tickets, 75c; spectators, 25c. No dancer will be allowed on the floor without being masked until after the grand march, which takes place at 10'30 o'clock. - The prizes and the donors are as fol­ lows: 1.

IV Q* Bat Smvitt Grind Ymer Ct&i at Bmt EACH TOWN CAN ELECT ONE OK THREE HMHWAY CONMU8IONEM [Harvard Herald] There is yet time for taking, in any township, the steps necessary to ex­ change next spring the highway board of three commissioners for the one commissioner whose compensated time is given altogether to road work and no part of it to attending meetings for allowing bills. The speoial election may held at any time not less than thirty days be­ fore the regular election. The first Tuesday in April in 1914 is the sev­ enth day of the month. Consequently, an Election to decide a proposition for changing to the one-commissioner plan may be held as late as March 8. Fifteen days' notice must be given by the town clerk when he calls the election. This meant the call must be issued not later than Feb. 21. If, therefore, a petition signed by at least twenty-five legal voters is filed with a town clerk by Feb. 21, and he issues immediately the election call that he may issue at any time inside of thirty days from the petition's filing, a vote. may legally be taken and the simpler system be adopted if the vot­ ing majority so indicates its prefer­ ence. But it is quite as well--it is much better--not to wait until the las minute, or the last day. In anjr township where, as in Che- mung, Alden, Dunham, Hartlaud, He­ bron or any other in McHenry county, the change is favored, and so strongly favored that adoption of the proposi­ tion if submitted seems ^probability, the petitions should be filed early, to .avoid unnecessary risk of some delay that might postpone the change an­ other year. Some such petitions are already filed and dates set for elections in January. Any and all Others circulated, or to be circulated, should be filed before the end of next month. That will give all necessary time, but nose too much. Better to be a few days or a few weeks earlier than absolutely necessary. Our business grew last year and will grow more during 1914. The secret of this growth is right drhgs, 1 ight ser­ vice and right priced at Petesch's. Bigger and better than ever--the Eagle masquerade danee. Wait for it.

TbQ pi an who is addicted to strong driafe, or who is a victim of the drug habit, is to be pitied and helped--not abused2--said Dr. Leslie E. Keeley, founder of the Keeley Institute at Dwight, 111. The records of 4Q0.QOQ men who have been cured of the ligaor habit apd the use of drugs by tbe Keeley treatment prove that these habits srs diseases thui curcd pcruj&ucijtly by this treatment. Most of these men were persuaded to take the Keeley treatment by wise friends or ' relatives who know that these addictions are curable diseases. Letters from the men cured show how they won health, honor and prosperity after taking the treatment. The following letter is typical of thousands: Woodland, 111., Mar. 23. 191*. Dear Banner of Gold>-- It Is thirteen years sirice T made my visit to the little city of Dwigrht, and I feel that it is my duty to write you again and inform you how I am getting along and holding out on tins' wet and dry proposition. I can re­ peat what I think I have said before, that when I arrived at Dwight I waa one of the worst wrecks that ever struck that town. I have often thought about it and I consider that I am a very fortunate man to be llv* lng today. And I praise the institu*' tlon and the goad people of tho Keeley Institute at Dwight for my escape, I do recommend and beg any unfqr* tunate who is in the power of strong drink to go at once and be cured, ahq , not jeopardize their lives by putting It off as I did. Anyone wishing to write me per*, •onally on this matter can do so, a94 I will be glad to answer any questionif, and I hope I may be able to convince * them that the only thing for them te do is to go at once and once mors become free men. I am growing a little older,--am In my sixty-third year, but my health Is i good and I am happy; and I am as far from the drink habit as the east la from the went, and I thank God and the Keeley people for my deliverance. Hoping that this may reach some one who Is not deaf to the good eauiMh and wishing you all success in tfc§ good work, 2 remain. Pr DUdfftER & SPANIER, Prop8. 4* South Fifth Ave., Chicago Gor. Monroe.
