Clarence Tuttle and son of <Wi , 111., spent a few days last week as guests in the home of her mother, Mrs. Mary Noonan, who resides near Editor 'PIaindesler: Just one more trumpet oall before the battle. I was greatly pleased to note, what a shaking up old McHenry received by the name of one little woman on the ballot. What will be the result when the final and true bat­ tle is waged? The items in the £aper were amus­ ing, and the two articles appearing to­ gether answered themselves. The un- prejudjeed writer certainly gave, a fair and impartial view and the question is, What would you wish our town to be, a Rock ford or a West Hammond? In the last issue of the Woman's National Weekly it says RockfOrd has the lowest taxes of any town in Illinois. This doesn't look as tho saloons brought it about. AH the license money brought to the town of West Hammond will never relieve her of debt--the near­ ness to city and the catering to city trade along liqes not progressive or towards improvement will never build anyplace. This is my native born horaiq and for fifty years I can truthfully say the old cry has been, "We cannot do without license money for improvements and taxes would be much higher." How can one tell? Surely there has been no inoentive for anything but saloons, as the population has not increased or any effort made to lessen the number of saloons. With our twelve and Johns- burg's five, what a showing for a popu­ lation that could, had better examples been made years ago, inducing outside capital to join with our good opportu­ nities, have doubled and thribled, which insures correct valuation of prices of real estate. v I am sure our Johnsburg friends have made a wonderful concession, closed the front doors during mass and allowed its citizens a rest from open doors from 12 o'clock midnight till day light. For shame that in this enlight­ ened age -our best "people, those who hold the power of their subjects, should allow such depredations upon the minds of the young and ignorant. What do our churches stand for? I believe, for making men and women the best possible, the saving of souls by saving their morals. These saloon men are good fellows, but inisguided in their judgment. It takes honest toil to bring about humanity toman. I remember forcefully a good saloon­ keeper who was indulgent in the way that brought him trade, yet by ray own observation before he was called away more than a dozen young lives were launched for worse than hades, his sons included. ' One hand cannot deceive the other. Do not let the littie iocai excitement allow you to lose sight of the para­ mount issue. I would ask that* every woman who can walk to the polls will do so in an orderly and decided way, fully realizing-the import of her duty. Truly the untrammelled freedom I felt raised my shoe leather a few inches and my heart beat with thanksgiving, feeling that those who have suffered could have a voice to bring about bet­ ter results. Ladies, let no man' or set of men,, dictate your vote. When you are behind the little curtain, it is be­ tween you, ytfur children and God which* way you decide. We cannot afford to trifle. I speak as one who has no ax to grind, as I am not a member of any organized society nor am I in the business, but from a mother's standpoint to the mothers of our community. It is our duty to safe­ guard the young placed in our keep­ ing. Mothers, are you willing to do so? In speaking with menibers ,of our much respected McHenry's Business Mente club I find they are not affiliated with the Progressive Business M^n's association. The nearness of the sig­ nature, in the ad of last week's issue, may cause the unwary to so place the artiste to their oredit. Beware of the intrigues of the power ,of the whiskey elements. Will oloae with two forceful par­ agraphs which came to my notice this week: ^ "A recent speaker at Portland, Me., was Mr. Ralph Brewster, a graduate of Bowdoin and the Harvard Law school. 'The experience of all the states has conclusively demonstrated,' he said, 'that women in large numbers will go to the polls; that their entrance does not injure the administration of the state in any department, and that in certain phases of social legislation they have a decided Influence for the better.'" "AJtho $5,000,000 worth of intoxicat­ ing liquors was consumed in Kansas last year, Kansans are saved more than $29,000,000 a year by prohibition. This is the story told by figures obtained by Governor Hedges from the county clerks. The report was compiled by the Methodist Temperance society of Kanana- The state, according to the report, consumes ^n average of three and two-thirds gallons for each resi­ dent, while the average consumption in the United States exceeds twenty- two gallons. Kansas has a population of 1,690,949, and the total amount of beer, whiskey and wine consumed is Aiden's delinquent tax this year, was but $41.43. Some record/ Two acres of farm land near. Harvard were sold last week at f000 per acre. The new paper at Genoa Junction, Wis., has made its initial appearance. A state highway across the state of Illinois jrill be started at. an early date. !v\ The fifth annual Elgin national road races will take phice at Elgin on Aug. 21 and 22. Four Harvard citizens carried away a good share of the prizes at a fiddlers* contest held at Rookford recently. ' At Harvard 1,050 votes were cast at the recent town caucus. Of this num­ ber 224 were cast by wotnen voters. A $2o,000 hotel is to be erected at Lake M arie the coming summer. The place will open for business about the first of .August. The new system of electric street lamps at Capron, McHenry county, was turned on for the first time on Wednesday evening of last wjpek. The business at the Sank of Hebron has increased to such an extent that the directors of that institution have found it necessary to engage an addi­ tional clerk. The Libertyville race track will soon be a busy place. The report that the track is to be used for automobile races is without foundation, as quite a num­ ber of pacing and trotting horses will soon be seen in training at that place. The stores of Hebron will close at 6:30 p. m. on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of each week during the summer months. During the past winter the stores in that village were closed at 6:30 p. W. on every evening except Wednesday and Saturday. The Antioch opera house was packed to its utmost capacity on Wednesday evening of last week, the wet-dry de­ bate being the attraction. A couple of hundred who came out to hear the debate could n<A> get into the place. The Antioch paper does not give the winners of the debate, but. simply leaves it for those present to decide. Carpenters villa, is to have a new two- story brick building, which is to be used for Sunday school and gymnasium purposes. The upper floor of the build­ ing will be used for Sunday school and public meeting purposes, while the lower floor will be fitted up for a gym­ nasium. The structure will be built on the M. E. church property and will be constructed at a cost of $15,000. Some of the patrons of the milk bot­ tling plant at Grayslake are dissatisfied and will take their milk elsewhere the coming summer. The Grayslake con­ cern set their milk prices month by month and do not make six month contracts as do most of the big milk bottling institutions. The "Grayslake concern will not guarantee to pay a standard price for milk tduring the coming six months and for this reason some of the dairymen will quit them. A decidedly unique sight was wit­ nessed on Geneva lake recently before the ice began to break up. There were ice boats, automobiles, double sleighs, cutters, buggies and carriages all being utilized in pleasure rides on the ice all at one tUnn. The sight was sufficiently novel to jhtye warranted some local photographers in getting a picture for reproduction in Collier's or some other paper of national renown; The bondholders of the Woodstock- Sycamore interurban railroad, which has been in operation between Syca­ more and Marengo, are considering a proposition received from the officers of the company to surrender their bonds and take in payment preferred stock in the corporation, so that it will be possible to bond the company for $475,000 in order to complete the road from Marengo to Woodstock and settle other obligations. A contracting com­ pany, it is said, have agreed to take the new bonds in payment for their work of completing the line from Ma­ rengo to Woodstock, providing the bonds are wade a first lien on the prop­ erty. mated cost is (5^l03,Qti6^ an expendi­ ture of S3.04 per capita. Asserting the expenditure for liquors averages $21 per capita, in the country as a whole, it is figured that the saving to the people of Kansas is $18 for each per- Hon."

CARD OP THANKS \ We wish' to extend our heartfe lt thanks to our relatives and friends fyr their sympathy, beautiful floral offer­ ings and the kindness shown in our bereavement--the death of Chas. Pe erson. FATHER, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Since the Knightsunovod to the hall in the - Telephone Exchange building the boys have^been given the use of the hall for club rootn purposes and in order to give the social members value received it was decided to add another meeting night each 'month The regular business meeting will, in the future, be held on the first Tburs day of the month, while the second meeting night will be devoted to en tertainment, which is to be provided. The younger members as well as many of the tilder ones are favoring a move which has been started to fit the place up for club room purposes. The move is meeting with much encourage­ ment and with very little money a*liib room can be fitted up that will be a credit to not only the Knights, bnt the village as well. Applications for membership into the Knights of Columbus are coming in right along and the McHenry council hopes to have a sufficient number withi in a short time te enable them to put on the degrees here in McHenry. In case that a sufficient number can­ not be obtained the candidates will be taken to some other town for initia­ tion. New life has beetv quite noticeable in the local council of late and it looks like there are some good times for our Knights. HAS GONE THE LOUT Soliciting and begging has reached a stage here in McHenry where every business man in town is up in arms. Hardl.v a day passes without someone making a canvass among the business houses for a donation of some sort or other. The editor has not been slight­ ed in this respect and like other busi­ ness men of the village has "dug" down with marked regularity of late. In fact, so much sti that we have reached a point where we are going to set down our foot and say "NO" to all comers in the future. We have heard many of the other business men com­ plain and we don't blame them in the least. What makes this "begging" all the more painful to the average busi< ness man is the fact that it is quite frequently the case that the begging is done by "mall order" buyers. The business nien, in our estimation, have been the "goats" quite loaj What do you think? PLAINDEALER HAS.NOYEO - The plaiudealer is now located in its new home in the new addition to the Bank of McHenry building. While we have not arranged things just to our liking, we feel quite comfortable in our new quarters. Thfr wOrk of moving, together with an accident to our job press motor, has set us back considerably in our job department, but we hope to be straightened out again in a day or two so as to be able to take care of the work as it comes in. We are sorry that conditions have made it impossible for us to get the work out as promised, but unavoidable accidents will hapjien now and again in any line of business. Since the wets get "dry" and the drys get "wet" Sincte the wet get "dry" and the dry get "wet", what next? Just look around and you will find everything becoming reversed, mixed, tangled, backwards, up-side-down, vice versa, opposite, turned around oc whatever you have in mind to call it. Just notice the young men, for in­ stance. Don't they wear their hats on one side instead of the other? Then again, don't they wear the bow of their hats in the back? With the girls" it's different. Some have no bow at all, some have one bow, while some have two or three "beaus." On his pictures, didn't "TOM MUR­ RAY" always have the back of his face taken instead of the front? He knew what was coming. Now, take the "shoemaker." He has always used the "last" first. Every­ thing seems to be going backwards except the "electric mete." Let's hope that we don't get up some morning and find that the "river" is narrower than it is broad. I suppose next, if we don't carefully follow our nose we will nbe walking backwards like a crawfish. f Therejused to be employment 90 that men could support large families. Who has taken their places? Now we find women running for office. What will the result be? As"* soon as the suffra- gets get what they cair their cause there will be little or nothing left for men to do that would support a family. This means that only women can get BUSINESS MEN TO DINE like, regular monthly dinnoi* had meeting of the McHenry Business Men's club (not Progressive Business Men's association of McHenry) will be held at Mrs. E. H. Behlke's dining hali on the West Side at 7:15 next Tuesday evening, April - 7. A report will be made by the various committees and other matters discussed. A number of important matters will be brought up and discussed and it is hoped that every recipient of a card will be on hand. Geo. W. Conn, former superintendent of schools and one of McHenry county's ablest speakers, will address the club. K. E. CHURCH NOTES Sunday school, 10:00 a. m.; worship, (Temperance), 11:00 a. m.

JACOB JUSTEN AT HOSPITAL Mrs. Jacob Justen, who has been ail­ ing for the past few weeks, was taken tp the West Side hospital in Chicago on Mouday morning, where she under­ went an operation on Wednesday morn­ ing. Reports from Chicago are to the effect that she came out of the opera­ tion all right and hopes are entertained by her many friends here for a speedy and full recovery from her ailment. WORK AT BANK RE8UNED The work of remodeling the Bank of McHenry buildiug tvas started on Wednesday morning of this week and will be rushed to completion. We are < told that when the work is finished Mc­ Henry can boast of one of the "dandi- married, not m0n. All men will be single, none double. If you are now a married man I would advise you to have your boys take a course in cooking and house* keeping and if you, yourself, are not yet an old man it might be well for you to take up the same study, so when the time comes you can take up the house duties while wifey goes out and "brings home the bacon." ( I tell you things are getting awfully messed up. If everything keeps re­ versing people will be born old and die young. Barbers and dentists would benefit by the "hurry-up calls" when old persons are born. Everyone would get childish before death. Instead of men and women voting only children would be allowed to vote. Then it would be easy to lead the voters to be­ lieve that they could vote down the $5000 a year without. taking it out of their own hides. ' About three weeks'apo * man In "Rlngwood" put up att awful radket when he got up one morning and found that his wife had cut off one of the legs of his trousers to make herself a "tube skirt." Now, that wasn't so worse. With a little forethought he could have expected it. How long till, on getting up some morning, he will find no trousers at all? Someone else will have them on. I predict that the future "tube skirt" will be double or twins.
