A school meeting Was held in the Woodman hall Saturday evening, Feb: 21, for the purpose of voting fpr a new school house; also on the sum to be used for the school and the best way to obtain that sum. Forty interested people responded. Of this number thirty-six (3ti) voted for a new school and four (4) against and a new school was carried. In regard to bonding the district, thirteen (13) voted for and twenty-seven (27) against, which car­ ried. It looks as tho a new . school- house, without the means to build, is 'not right. For years we have had an up-to-date school, modern in every way and sanitary. Why wouldn't it pay to build as good now 'and one as nearly fire proof as possible, which would stand for ages and be a credit to>our school and a lasting credit to our town and property, which would becoms more valuable on account of a good school? No one would care to locate where there were no good school priv lieges. We have one of the best ohurches and need as good a school. KlMflWOdl) Fred Gibbs moved onto the Harsh farm Tuesday.

'There is nothing more degrading and no more atrocious insult to civil­ ized life than the American saloon. It has poisoned tte social atmosphere for the masses, in It the working man squanders his savings and the healthy man devastates his energies and be­ comes a wreck. Political corruption irradiates from the saloon into the whole public life and a thousand ways lead from the saloon to the peniten tiary. It is a blessed movement which now turns with overwhelming energy against the horrors of this evil and unites the clean minds of the whole nation in an untiring fight against the source of infection. There saay be dis­ agreements as t.h« best means, disagreement whether strict prohibition or education toward tem­ perance is the more reliable method, I ut there is no disagreement as to the fact that the satooh has to be wiped out, and the day seems near indeed when, thanks to the women, the tight against the. saloon will be taken up iqi almost every state." v FOR VILLAGE CLERK { hereby announce myself &s a candi­ date for the office of village clerk, sub­ ject to the approval of the voters of the village of McHenry at the coming spring election.
