The editor of The Plaln- dealer has kept close watch on the publication of legal matters dur­ ing the past few years and from our observations quite a number of notices which should have appeared In The Plaindealer were published in the county seat papers. In this manner the notices not only passed the notice of many interested local people, but also took from us the customary compensation for the publishing of same. In other towns the local papers are treated more f&irly and it is for this reason that we onse more call attention to this matter. At the present time there is a legal notice running in a coun­ ty seftt weekly which should by all means have appeared in these col­ umns and why the notice has not been given to us is more than we can understand. When death enters a home the local paper is always counted on for a nice, long obituary, which is pub­ lished free of charge. This favor is looked upon as a matter of course and surely is expected from the ed­ itor, but when it comes to return­ ing a favor, well that's another matter and one very often over­ looked. Those who have given us legal printing we wish to thank and assure them that it has not gone by unappreciated, and once more we wish to remind you that when having a legal notice for pub­ lication insist upon your attorney that same be published in the Mc­ Henry Plaindealer. The Plaindealer, since coming into the present ownership, has nev­ er asked for anything to which it is not entitled and we believe that the fair minded readers will bear us out when we say that we are en­ titled to the legal notices pertain­ ing to McHenry and the surround­ ing country. What makes us more peeved than ever is the fact that the no­ tices usually appear in the county •eat paper, which is getting more than its share of the county print­ ing. However, we are not kick­ ing about the county printing. We don't care a continental whether or not we get one penny's worth of this printing, but it does hurt us to see the printing go to Woodstock that rightfully belongs , tOsMeHenry. ICE HARVESTING SEASON The ice harvesting season is now on and the idle men of McHenry and vicinity welcome the opportunity of earning a few cart wheels. Those who have already started the season's cut­ ting and harvest are Brant at McCol- lum's lake, Border's and the McHenry brewery of this place. The ice is About twelve inches in thickness. H. E.

P• J. Graham of Ingleside has been appointed parole officer at the St. Charles Home for Boys to succeed the late Thomas Hickey. Announcement was received here to­ day by the Everett Hunter Boat com­ pany from Secretary Ira Hand of the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers that the number of. space reservations already booked indicate that the annual National Motor Boat show, which opens at Chi­ cago February 27, will be the greatest display of boats, engines and marine accessories ever seen in the country. The first real National Boat show put on in the West was staged in Chicago last year and its success was such that its promoters were convinced that op­ portunity existed for arousing immense public insterest in boating in the mid­ dle western states, with the result that it was announced that the show would be made an annual affair, just like the automobile, electrical and other big exhibitions which are put on for the purpose of showing the public the ad­ vancement being made in the industry and at the same time to give dealers and others an opportunity to keep in touch with the newest things in their line. To the boat lover the Chicago show will be a week of rare joy. Every type of motor boat from the power dinghy with its "portable" motor to the pala­ tial sea going cruiser, and the less beautiful, but vastly profitable work boats used in the fisheries, ferries, pas­ senger service and other branches of transportation, will be on exhibition. There will be motors of every type and description and every conceivable ac­ cessory and fitting which add to the comfort, convenience and profit of the motor boat.

Y., in September. Beach's new boat is exhibited at the Chicago National Motor Boat show in February. NOTICE In this manner I wish to correct an item which appeared in the Ostend items a couple of weeks ago, in which it was stated that myself and children were taken out for a ride in Ben Wal lis' automobile. To correct any wrong impression that may have been made upon the minds of the public by the item, I wiph to state that the trip w-as not in the form of a pleasure ride, but a purely business affair. MRS. RAY THOMAS. JUST SO An exchange states that you can read the newspaper proof three or four times and repeatedly pass the same error withoutseeing it. All newspaper men tell you so. But as soon as the press is started and the paper is printed in its cpmplete shape, there stands the error in front of you, so big that you can't see anything else. It's a strange fact and probably the reason why it is so easy to edit a newspaper after it printed.

The ship and plans are lost. Gallon is rescued. He engages John Dore, a mining engineer, and opens the mine for his daughter, Ruth. Wilkerson returns and Gallon dies shortly after, leaving Wilkerson superintendent of the mine. He persuades Ruth they need more money to run the mine.

The event on this occasion will be in the form of an old time iriHsnuerade and the older folk* :V" already making plans to be in attend­ ance. More particulars regarding this event will appear in these columns in future issues. I v; j 'Jo. >Jh gripped in bloody combat!!! Alone in the hot deadly wastes of the desert. Certain death facing the one who lost. One fought for a "woman" who must be bought for gold. The other for his own little child. One is Wilkerson--the other is Gallon. It forecasted fifteen years o,f mighty struggling against fate--against misery--against human suffering. And the Combat? Who Won It? You can see it all in the thrilling MASTER KEY serial at the Stoffel's Hall nAO Hfj J i i /irf" v? i 0/7 cttid &c*nic( no? ' In the filming of the lat&ft installment of "The Master Key" John Fleming Wilson, the author, and Robert Leonard, the producing director, encountered much opposition from the San Francisco Chinese, who feared that white slave investigators were about to take pictures of Chinatown resorts for use in a campaign to secure the expulsion of the colony. When the Rex company arrived in San Francisco from the Hollywood studios they made their way to Chinatown and started work. Almost immediately scores of Chinamen gathered about the camera operators and arftors. None of them offered the slighest opposition to Director Leon­ ard, but all steadily gathered closer and closer until it was impossible for the cameramen to film the scenes. At the time of the San Francisco earthquake Chinatown was destroyed, but it has been largely rebuilt. Some of the most thrilling scenes of Sunday's show, "The Master Key/' were taken in secret tunpels but recently discovered by the police.
