BOSHA •EAT INTERESTS Another new business firm wfll lbB launched in this tillage next Monday morning when William and Anton Schneider, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider, will take over the Wast Side meat market and grocery, they having purchased (he stock of G, C. Bosma, who has conducted the place during the past year or more. ' Schneider Bros., as the firm name! will be, need no introduction to the people of McHenry and vicinity as they have always made this village their home, where they are known to tnost of our peopte. . ' William, the senior member of the new firm, has been connected with the meat business in McHenry during the past eleven years and is thoroly con­ versant with every detail pertaining to meats and groceries. Anton, the junior member of iJie firm, is also an expert meat cutter, having served^ his apprenticeship in the shops Of this village and during the summer of 1914 had charge of the Stilling meat market at Pistakee Bay. Both are young men of energy, trust and capability. Their business ideas are modern, their dealings will be fair and they are most assuredly entitled to their share of the public's patronage. Here's hoping that the new business 'firm may live long and prosper. BASKET BALL FRIDAY NIGHT The basket ball fans of McHenry and vicinity are offered an exception­ ally strong attraction at the high school gymnasium tomorrow (Friday) night, when the McHenry highs, toth boys and girls, meet the Woodstock high school teams. The McHenry highs are out to win the championship of McHenry county and they fully realize that the result of this contest will have a big bearing upon the final outcome of the county race. The two boys' teams are quite evenly matched and Mo&enry realizes that they will be forced to exert themselves to the limit to cop the honors tomorrow night. The boys are putting in hours of prac­ tise each day and the fans may rest assured of witnessing one of the best games ever played in McHenry. The girls' team is also practising diligently for their encounter with their Wood­ stock sisters and, altbo this will be their first appearance against an out­ side team, they feel that they are cap­ able of .putting up a fair article of ball and will go into the contest to win. One of the largest crowds that ever attended a basket ball game in Mc­ Henry is sure to-be*on hand on this occasion, therefore it would not be un­ wise to go early and get a choicd'feeat. Game called at 8:00 o'clock. General admission, 25 cents. BONE WHITTLER Visitors at the place have been ad­ miring the work of a boat which is now nearing completion at the jewelry store of John P. Smith. The boat is being built by the proprietor of this little shop and his principal tool has beep his pocket knife; The boat is patterned after that used by Capt. Scott during his Antarctic explorations in 1902. The boat is six feet in length and, .when finished, will be complete in every detail. He started work on this wonderful piece of art about Thanks­ giving time and hopes to have it com­ pleted within the next few weeks. Thi^Vis Mr. Smith's second attempt, his first piece of work, which was a boat of much smallerdimensions, being purchased by the Flora DeVoss Theat­ rical company and is now being used in some of the plays being staged by that company. Those, who have seen the boat now under construction proclaim it to be one of the best pieces of work ever produced. It is well worth one s time to call at the shop and see it. Mr. Smith delights in showing same and is ever ready to go into details regard­ ing its construction. We feel safe in voting him i!he "champion whittler" in these parts. * EP WORTH LEAGUE NOTES The Epworth League, w^ill take its temperature on Sunday, Jan. 10, at the thermometer meeting. Everyone is invited, young and old. Come one, come all, and make the thermometer go up to boiling. We can do it. We want a full house. A special program will be given. New Year's eve the league had a sleigh ride and« watch party. They went to Ringwood and back and watched the old year out and the new year in. If you want a good time, join us. We had some narrow escapes by the driver trying to tip us over. At Ringwood we tried to wake everyone in the town. We are going to have some more good times. We want you and your friends to come and join us. We need you and you need us. Come, come, come!

Chickeh thieves are «tlll'operating in Lake county. Midnight services were held at tike Christ church at Harvard on Christ* mas morning. Geo. W. Conn Is now editing the Woodstock Republican, Editor W. H. Simpson having resigned his position as editor of that paper. The merchants of Richmond have engaged the services of a night watch­ man, who entered upon his duties in that village last. week. The Harvard Anti-Horse Thief asso­ ciation has now been in existence ten years and not a horse has been stolen within their territory during that time. The Borden plant at Chemung, which laid off about fifty hands a few weeks ago, has takep back most of the number and has again started the con­ densing of milk. .. The Elijah Jackson summer »esort hotel at Grass Lake was burned to the ground on Christmas night. A kero­ sene stove is said to have been the cause of the conflagration. For the first time. in many years Lake Geneva was frozen over in De­ cember. The ice last month was seven inches thick, while at the present time several inches have been added. A group of Dundee singers sang carols on the streets of that city early Christmas morning. The vocalists started out at five o'clock in the morn­ ing and went from house to house. Miss Sarah Leonard, who for many years was connected with the Leonard hotel at Crystal Lake and in this man­ ner formed a wide acquaintance, passed away there a week ago Sunday. She was sixty years of age. Horse racing on the ice at Lake Geneva, Wis., will soon be one of the at­ tractions at that place. Winter horse racing at the Lak^ has become an annual sport which is always enjoyed by a large following of lovers of horse­ flesh. During the recent severe cold spell George Michaels of Chicago walked from Fox Lake to his home in Chicago. On his arrival in the latter named city it was found that both of his feet were frozen and doctors believe that it will be necessary to gmputate them. The Chicagoan had been working on the ice fields at Fox Lake. Over 20,000 tons of poultry were de­ livered to Jos. Brickley"at Harvard one day last week. The poultry was delivered by 110 teams, which repre sented Harvard and its immediate vi­ cinity--Walworth, Big Foot, Alden, Hebron, Marengo, Capron and Sharon. Mr. Brickley is the buyer for J. L. Oxley & Co. of Chicago. "Red" O'Brien, the Woodstock wrestler, will meet Jack Reynolds of Idaho Falls, Idaho, at Springfield, 111 tomorrow night. The match will be at 142 pounds ringside. Frank Opfer- gelt of Woodstock, who tips the scales at 220, is mastering the wrestling game under the tutorship of Ernest Kartye of Chicago. Opfergelt hopes to make his first appearance in the ring soon. While the parents were out doing the evening chores, the ten-months-old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Church of Richmond suffered burns which caused the ohild's death. The child was left in the care of a three and one- half year old sister and the supposition is that the little girl lighted a match and in some manner set fire to the baby buggy occupied by the unfor­ tunate victim of the dreadful accident. Harvard Herald: L. W. Seaman, Richmond and Hebron resident, who died ten days ago, bequeathed all he possessed, amounting toabout $2,000, to Geo. W. Conn, Sr., of Hebron. The will Mr. Seaman left carried out wishes he had frequently expressed to friends, to whom he had told of his purpose of leaving all he had to Mr. Conn, for whom he had formed a strong attachment and who had befriended him in many ways. Mr. Seaman was lo-jked upon as eccentric and peculiar in many ways, having lived alone many years, his mode of living attracting the attention of all who knew hift|. for important news. BANK FOUNDATION O. K. -ftrr A cement expert was out from Chi­ cago one day last week to inspect the cement foundation walis for the new State Bank building on the West Side. After a very careful examination he put the O. K. on them and departed for Chicago. No cement was spared in the construction of the foundation and under ordinary conditions they will stand a life-time. ' JUST US CLUB DANCE - The members of the Just Us club wish to announce that they will hold another public dance at Stoffel's hall on the evening of February 6. Moore's four-piece orchestra of Woodstock has already been engaged for the occasion and plans for the eveut at e now under way. More particulars will appear in these columns in future issues. The regular monthly meeting of the Knights of Columbus takes place at MCHENRY'S SOCIETY Nratic* I--»•!! The Mystic Workers of this village held installation of their newly elected officers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth on Tuesday even­ ing of this week. Wm. fipencer was the installing officer, while Mr3. Flos­ sie Cobb and W. D. Wentworth did the work of the supreme conductress and supreme sentinel, respectively. At the close of the work, which was performed in a faultless manner, all sat down to enjoy an hour or so at cards. The prize winners in this hap­ py diversion were: Mrs. Maude Over­ ton and W. D. Wentworth, firsts, and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Young, consola­ tions. While the card playing was go­ ing on a specially appoiuted committee was preparing a three course chicken dinner, which was served at the close of the gainee. A renewed interest has been awakened among the McHenry Mystics and fromjfOw on the^ will be heard from more frequently. All the members are working together in a most enthusiastic manner and they are now starting a vigorous campaign to Increase their membership, which pur­ pose is sure to be accomplished if the interest displayed of late is kept up, and we have no reason to believe that it will not be. • The Raval Ent«rtahMrs Miss Gertrude Weber acted as host­ ess to the members of the Royal En­ tertainers' club at her home on Wash­ ington street on Monday evening of this week. Long before the guests arrived the cheerful hostess had every­ thing arranged to a nicety and when the last of the members had put in her appearance all sat down for a few hours' enjoyment at progressive cinch. The evening's favors went to Mrs. A. G. Barbian, first; Mrs. Andrew Miller, second, and Mrs. John W. Bonslett, consolation. Refreshments, as only the hostess knows how to prepare and serve, were then partaken of and all departed with a feeling that they had been entertained as the name of the club would imply. Slaifh RM« Patty On Monday evening of this week sixteen of our young people enjoyed a sleigh ride party to Crystal Lake, where a delicious supper was partaken of at Gerlach's hotel on Main Street. Sleighing is the best that this vicinity has enjoyed in years and the young ladies who made up this party certain­ ly did make things lively during the ride and at Crystal Lake. Those who made the trip were: Misses Anna and Irene Frisby, Lena, Clara, Julia and Esther Stoffel, Elizabeth ahd Clara Miller, Mary Burke, Lola Boyle, Julia Freund, Bertha Wolff, Mar Urn Swank and Kathryn Burks. The ride, as well as the supper at Crystal Lake, was highly enjoyed by all. Entertains Emptaras F. M. Risley, local manager of Borden Condensed Milk company, acted as host to the employes and their wives of the McHenry milk bottling plant on New Year's night. The party, thirty-eight in number, were first treated to a picture show at the Cen­ tral opera house, after which all gath­ ered at the home of Mr. Risley on Waukegan street, where a banquet was enjoyed. It is needless to say that all enjoyed the hospitality shown them by Mr. Risley as well as his estimable family and all went home carrying with them an exceptionally warm spot in their heart for the genial host. • Y Naw Yaar's Part* / }{.• % A jolly crowd of young folks spent New Year's day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Thomas. In the even­ ing they all enjoyed a sleighing party to Woodstock, where they saw "A Million Bid" at the Princess theatre. Those who made up the gay crowd were: Misses Anna Knox, Elaine Thomas, Vera Knox, Esther Miller and Raymond Grover of Woodstock, Haw- ley Donaldson of Elkhorn, Wis., Earl Thomas and Ray McAndrews. Tha Saclal Whaal The Social Wheel meets with Mrs. T. J. Walsh on Thursday, January 14, 1915. It is hoped that all members will try to begin the new year with a full attendance.

A delightful afternoon was spent and it is planned to do as well at oni next meeting. .. .-- Tha Gaiatr Club f The Gaiety club members were de­ lightfully entertained by Miss Eliza­ beth Thelen at her home on Washing­ ton street on Tuesday evening of this week.

PURE BRED SEED AND LIVE STOCK ASSO­ CIATION ORGANIZED MEANS MUCH TO MeHENRY FARMERS The need of a pure bred seed and livestock association representing all the raisers of pure bred varieties of grain and different breeds of livestock in McHenry county has been evident for several years. With the intention in mind of stimu­ lating a desire for better varieties of grain that are strictly adapted to Mc­ Henry county conditions and the rais­ ing of mqre pure bred stock, a few farmers, acting on the suggestion of myself, got together and organized the McHenry County Pure Bred Seed and Livestock association. An excellent address was given by Mr. Robert Omann of Huntley, a pro­ gressive and up-to-date farmer, whose famous Oderbrucker barley took first prize at the grain show, and Who has had considerable experience in the raising of pure bred grain and live­ stock. Mr. Omann had records to show t hat the pure bred varieties of grain and corn bad always given a better yield than the ordinary kinds and the seed was in much greater de­ mand by farmers for use on their own farms. H. A. Bates of Harvard, an­ other of McHenry county's progressive farmers and whose Silver King corn took first, prize at the grain show, made a few valuable suggestions as to the importance and value of raising pure bred varieties of grain and stock. Mr. Bates formerly lived in Wisconsin and was familiar with the results and bene­ fits of the Wisconsin Experiment asso­ ciation, which is an organization of all the farmers in that state who raise pure bred grains. The benefits de­ rived by farmers of this association amounts to thousands of dollars yearly and it has established a reliable source from which the best varieties of grains may be obtained. Such an association will do equally as much for the 'farmers of McHenry county and we hope they will all take advantage of it. The constitution and by-laws of the McHenry County association are as follows: Article I. Name. The organization shall be known as the McHenry Coun­ ty Pure Bred Seed and Livestock as­ sociation. Article II. Object. The object of this association shall be to promote the agricultural interests of the coun­ ty: 1. By growing and disseminating pure bred seed grains and livestock. 2. By having association exhibits at agricultural fairs. 3. By having annual meetings in order to report and discuss topics bene­ ficial to the members of the associa­ tion. Article III. Membership. Anyone who is interested in pure bred grains and livestock or in progressive farm­ ing in general may become a member of this association. 2. Honorary membership may be con­ ferred upon anyone interested in pro­ gressive agriculture by a majority vote at any annual or special meeting. Article IV. Dues. A fee of fifty cents shall be collected from each mem- ber annually. Article V. The officers of this asso­ ciation shall consist of a president, vice president and secretary-treasurer, whose terras of office shall be one year, or until their successors are elected. Article VI. Duties of officers. It shall be the duty of the president to preside at all meetings of the associa­ tion and to enforce the observation of such rules and regulations as will be for the best interest of the organiza­ tion; to appoint all regular committees as he may deem expedient for the wel­ fare of the association. 2. In the absence of the president, the vice president shall preside and •perform the duties of the president. 3. The secretary-treasurer shall keep the records of all meetings and pro­ ceedings of the association, also the names of all members and their ad­ dresses. He shall also keep the funds of the association, collect all fees, pay all debts, and shall submit a written statement of all moneys received and paid out by him and shall balance his books not later than one month before the annual meeting. Article VII. Disbursements. The funds of the association shall be used to defray it3 expenses or by vote of the association for such purposes as will advance the agricultural interests of the association and shall be paid out only upon an order signed by the pres­ ident and oountersigned by the secre­ tary. Article VIII. Amendments. This constitution may be amended at any meetkag by a two-thirds vote of the members of the association present. • By-iawa Article I. The officers of this asso- 11 be elected by ballot at the eting. II. This association shall be by Roberts' rules of orders. •III. All members joining at lization of this association mown as charter members. i\\ The time and place of holding the annual meeting determined by the officers. Adopted December 5, 1914. Any farmer who is raising one or Wore pure bred varieties of grain is requested to send samples of the grain to this office, where it will be exam­ ined and a germination test made. Those who are raising pure bred stock are requested to notify this office of the breed they are raising. We would like very much to know who the farm­ ers are who raise the different pure bred breeds of livestock, such as the Percherons, Shires, Clydesdale, Bel­ gian, Hereford, Durham, Angus, Hoi- stein, Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss, and the many other breeds of live­ stock, of hogs and sheep and the many different varieties. of grain. In about a month a circular will be issued, giv­ ing the name of the grower and the variety of grain or breed of livestock he is raising. We intend to make this serve as a guarantee to the purchaser that seed purchased from anyone listed in the circular will be true to type and of perfect germination. To those who wish to purchase livestock the circular will serve to inform them who the re­ liable breeders in the county are and that they can do just as well and often better than by buying from spmeone farther away. ** The officers elected are: President, Robert Omann, Huntley; vice presi­ dent, H.

CX jr/S A meeting of the officers and stock­ holders of the McHenry Creamery Company took place in this village last Saturday afternoon, at which time the following temporary officers were elect­ ed: President, Walter J. Walsh; sec­ retary, Chas. L. Page. The officers and stockholders also made a visit to the creamery building to investigate its condition and also to ascertain what machinery is needed to fuliy equip same for operation. A committee was also appointed to see what can be done in the direction of securing some responsible party to take hold of the creamery and operate same. The men appointed to act on tills committee were Wm. J. Welch, F. H. Wattles und F. E. Martin. The committee will visit Chicago at an early date and will be able to make a report at a regular meeting of the company which will take place some time next month. In an interview with President Walsh the writer was informed that the creamery surely would be opened for business the coming spring and he further promised to prepare an article for us for publication. Said article will appear in next week's issue and will fully explain the present plans of the company and will make clear to the dairymen of McHenry and vicinity just vhat they may expect. Inasmuch p* Mr. Walsh will go into detail in his communication next week, we will re­ frain from saying any more about this matter at this writing.
