The new aoale will be as follows: Straight shave, 15c; all hair cuts, 36c; hair tonic, 15c; ahatnpoo, 2Se; massage, 25c; beard trim, 15o. The shops, which have agreed to the above mentioned prices, are those of Martin B. Schuiitt, Henry Brefeld and Bishop & Olson. s McHenry is the only tdwirte'this vicinity where barbers are now scrap­ ing men's f&Ces at ten cents per. Other towns have adopted the new sccue uf prices long since and in view of the fact that barbers in all other towns are getting better prices and also the high cost of living we believe the public will agree that the barbers of Mc­ Henry are entitled to the advanced prices. We do not think that many will '.'kick" on the prices, as first-class work is worth the prices aaked. , Have yovi seen the new Staver bug* Kies? They're beauts. Sold by Math.

Staymates of Clinton, 111., will talk on good roads at the court house in Woodstock at 2:30 o'clock next Sat­ urday afternoon, April 18. Mr. Stay- mates has recently completed a trip thru the Atlantic coast states, on which he traveled 6000 miles, studying roads and the road laws of those states. Dur­ ing his travels he has gathered much uncommon information on these sub- No doubt one of the heaviest tax items that the people of this state will be called upon to pay in years to come will be the road tax. It Is surely of vital importance to all of us that the money raised for this purpose should be expended in stich a manner that the taxpayer and the traveling public will derive the utmost good therefrom. We believe this can" be accomplished if a large number of our people become familiar with the road question and it is hoped! that the epeaker will be greeted by a packed house. The speaker is brought here tinder the auspices of the McHenry connty board of supervisors. * Men's hats and caps. New shapes' and colors. 50c to $3.00 at Walsh's.

Smith, was quite seriously injured at her home here last Satur­ day evening. Mrs. McOmber, who is 84 years of age, was preparing for bed when in some unknown manner she fell and severely injured her hip. Dr. D. G. Wells was called into attendance and made the victim of the accident as comfortable as it was posssble. Altho her age makes the injury more serious than it would have been had it hap­ pened to a younger person, Mrs. Mc­ Omber is getting along nicely and yes­ terday was able to sit up. Her many friends hope that she may soon fully recover from the effects of her mis­ hap. .• N. E.
