This is the slogan which will be used in the campaign for Go-to-Church Sun­ day in (1McHenry, Feb. 14. Repeat it over and over to yourself. Say it to your neighbors. Think over the possi­ bilities ef accomplishing it; then think what would happen if everybody should do just as you have been doing nearly every Sunday. If you have the church going habit it will not be hard for you to be there. If you haven't, but make up your mind to go, it will be easy to get there. "No man liveth unto himself alone." Every normal person seeks to touch life about him in some way or ways. However, if our touch with life Is con­ fined and limited to certain avenues, right and proper as they m^y be, to the exclusion of certain other impor­ tant points of contact, we are the losers thereby and our lives are made nar­ rower than they ought to be. The church's missioh in the world is to place special emphasis upon one point of contact with life, which has had, and is having, an influence upon every other phase of life, and tjiat point of contact is i.he touch that our lives may have with the divine life. You «ay that you do not believe that the church is alive; you do not know the church. The purpose of Go-to-Church Sunday is to endeavor to make the touch with the life of the church more vital in the experience of more people. So you are invited to come and get this touch first hand. The purpose is not to dictate to you which church you shall attend, but of course the invitation must be limited to the denominations which at e repre­ sented in our midst. Choose the one in which you think you can worship best. If your own denomination is not choose the one nearest day of the tnultipUc ity of churches in smalLcomiuunities past; the movement now is toward federation and union. The Universalis! and the Methodist Episcopal churches are co-operating in this campaign Services will be held at each church; at the regular hours, and to any and all of the services of either .church you and your friends are invited. "Pack the churches to the doors." NO. 33 BOAT FACTORY ADDITION URGE NEW ADDITION NOW OCCUTICD BY HUNTER MAT CO. i/fe NOW HAVE BEST EQUIPPED PLANT OF ITS KINO IN THE UNITED STATES-WILL EXHIBIT AT SHOW represented, like yours. The EVERYBODY'S HARD TIME DANCE All those wishing to trip the light fantastic must fall in line for the everybody's hard time dance to be held at Knox's hall, formerly Buch's, on Friday evening, FeU, 5. Two prizes, an umbrella each, will be given to the lady and gentleman bestdressed to rep­ resent. hard times. The order of dances for this occasion will be two steps, waltzes, quadrilles, schottisches, money musk, Virginia reel and, in fact, any and all of the old time dances asked for. This being the third of the series of dances given under this manage­ ment, all efforts will be made tp have it as great if not a greater success than those previous. No round danc­ ing during square dances. Music will be furnished by the Old Time orches­ tra. The floor managers are as fol­ lows: Wauconda, J. Cook and J. J.

A BAD TIP OVER When the fire alarm was sounded last Saturday afternoon, the West Side hose cart was hooked onto a bob owned by Lee LockwodH. Not to lose any time the driver started the horses oil a dead run and while rounding the corner at the Park hotel, the bob and hose cart were overturned and the horses ran away. A number of men who occupied the bob were thrown out of the conveyance with great force and as a result one or two of them received quite painful injuries. The team ran all the way to the Irish prairie, where it was stopped and brought back to town. ANOTHER FIRE SCARE Escaping smoke from the furnace at the home of Wm. Bonslett crept into the living rooms at about 4:30 last Saturday afternoon and for . a time it was feared that the house was afire. Mrs. Bonslett called up her husband at" his office and informed him to come home, while at about tlpe same time a fire aiarm was, turned in. Volunteer fighters responded to the call but upon examination it was found that no fire existed. The scare created the usual amount of excitement, in­ cluding a tip over and runaway. ICE IS TREACHEROUS Old ice men inform us that they do not remember a year where the ice was as treacherous as it is this year. Four and twelve inch ice may be found within a few feet of each other. Un­ less a person is very well acquainted with the field he and his team are in constant danger. -Bear in mind that the Just Us club will give their next dance at Stoffel's onlSatqiday evepiog, Feb,*>. ^7'.7' . \ - .V '• The Everett Hunter Boat company has just completed and is now occupy­ ing a new addition to its factory buiU- ing here. The new addition is 38 feW wide and 138 feet long and is built out from the northeast corner, of the old building. .Th6 improvement is a big one and can be fully appreciated only by the men employed and the officials of McHenrv's coming industry.. Operations on the new addition were started last October and completed on the 4th of last month. This gives the company the room thai has so long been desired and gives McHenry one of the best equipped boat factories in the United States, at least this is the dec­ laration of a man who visited the fac­ tory and one who has visited every boat manufacturing plant of any im- jwrrtance in this country. Tfie new addition is used exclusively for boat building purposes. It is ex­ ceptionally well lighted and ventilated, while the mechanical equipment can­ not be surpassed anywhere. The win­ dows are so arranged that tbey may be let down in the warm weather. This feature, together with the four large doors on the "north side of the building, will make it a most pleasant room to work In "any time of tin1 year. At the present time the room is kept most comfortable with a steam heating plant, while during the summer months the windows and doors may be flung open and thus make it comfortable and cool. In other words, it will be like working out of doors for the men em­ ployed. The interior is'painted a puie white, which, together with the hun­ dreds of windows, give the place a na tural light that cannot be surpassed On dark days and after suuset the place is brilliantly lighted by electric­ ity. The Company owns its own elec­ tric power plant, which furnishes the power for operating the machinery as well as the lighting system. Thus it may be seen that all of the machinery is electrically driven, which makes it convenient and is most - satisfactory All of the machinery is of the labor saving variety and just to show how complete the equipment really is we will say that even the planers, which are usually operated by hand, are elec trically driven. The main building, which previous to the construction and occupany of the new addition, was used as a work as well as a display room, is now used for display room purposes only and at the present time no less than seventy-five beautiful boats of all designs and sizes occupy the floor space of this room. The paint shop is located in the north end of the old building, where the painters and decorators are kept busy putting the finishing touches on the otherwise completed boats. In an interview with Mr. Hunter the writer was given much valuable infor­ mation regarding the future plans of the company. Among other things we were told that the company is not thru building, as, according to present plans, another building larger than any of those now in use will be built next fall. Another good piece of news, which was imparted to us, was to the effect that the McHenry product is to be shown at the Chicago motor boat show, which opens in that city for one week on Feb. 27. The McHenry ex­ hibit, we are told, will be the largest ever shown by any otae boat building concern at any show ever held in this country. Six cars will carry the ex­ hibit to (Chicago, which will consist of no less than twenty boats of different designs and sizes. In fact, 5000 square feet of floor space will be occupied by the McHenry product, which, in our estimation, will make the prospective buyer sit up and take notice. The shipment will be made on Feb. 22, 23 and 24, and Mr- Hunter will have men on the grounds at the coli­ seum in Chicago who will see to it that the McHenry display is in A No. 1 shape when the show opens. With such an extensive exhibit it is only natural to expect big returns and we predict that the coming spring and summer will be one of the busiest ever put in at the local factory. The last show in which the McHenry boats were exhibited was two years ago and the returns were most satisfactory. Last year, it will be remembered, Mr. Hunter was away a good share of the time and for this reason no exhibit was made, but this year Mr. Hunter is axious to make up and therefore will send in the gigantic exhibit. Here's hoping that the returns will be suf­ ficiently large to repay the institution many times over for the time, trouble and expense gone to in making possi­ ble the exhibit. MCHENRY'S SOCIETY Tuitj Wark Club The Fancy Work club held a most profitable meeting at the home of Mrs. Simon Michels on Water street yester­ day afternoon.

The evening was highly en­ joyable to those present, who will long remember the event. The winners at cards were as follows: First,' Miss Kathyn Weber; second, Mrs. N. E.

POULTRY AND GRAIN SNOW (Oontrlljuted) McHenry is almost sure of having a poultry and grain show next winter. Over fifty business men and citizens have already pledged their support and promised to become members on the election of officers. The annual dues will only be $1.00. As soon as one hundred members are secured a meet­ ing will be called and officers will be elected. The reason for organizing at tltis time is to secure good judges and also to give the people a chance to raise some fancy poultry and the farm­ ers to raise the best grain possible. Starr Brink is acting as secretary and will call on you in a few days. Help a good thing along. The poultry indus­ try is estimated by the government as a billion dollar industry. Wateh this paper for further information. POLES ARE DOWN The storm of the first of the week has been the cause of a large number of. telephone poles going down. While the damage is not as great as that of two years ago, it is quite bad enough and the C. T. & Co. has a gang of men repairing the damage in the vicin­ ity of McHenry. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE Rev. James G. Smith of Brodhead, Wis., has been named pastor of St. Francis DeSales church at Lake Gen­ eva, Wis. With the Installation of the new fixtures Dundee expects to have one of the best and most complete post offices in this section. The fear that his herd of cattle would be Infected with the much dreaded foot and mouijh disease has de ranged the mind of a Dundee farmer At a special election held at Crystal Lake last week it was voted to bond the town for $8,000 for the purpose of constructing and repairing Burton's bridge.- This means a new bridge over the Fox at that point. The Lake Villa officials are now asking those who helped make the town dry to advise ways and means whereby funds will be forthcoming with which to meet the bills that are now staring the village in the face. Leo Barnstable of Lake Villa lost valuable team of horses in Long lake one da.v recently. He wascrossing the lake when the iqe gave way and be fore the driver had time to realize what had happened the horses dis­ appeared under the ice. The curfew law, which was passed at Aurora fifteen years ago, is to be en forced. The city council has asked the chief of police of that city to en­ force the law henceforth. The law requires all children under the age of sixteen to be in their homes at nine o'clock at night. J. Gartner, employed at the Nelson- Morris company ice house at Pistakee lake lost his life at that place one day recently. The unfortunate man was in the act of clearing the slush out of the conveyor when the man in the tower started the machine. As there was no eye witness to the accident no one knows just how the victim received his injuries, which proved fatal about an hour after he was discovered by fellow workmen. When fonnd he was lying near the conveyor. Edward Graham of Long Lake, champion professional clay pigeon shot of the world, who won the silver cup last year in the national competition, lost it when it was destroyed in a fire which consumed a building at Wabash avenue and Van Buren street, Chicago, Sunday. The cup had been there for storage and exhibition purposes. The loss, while representing hundreds of dollars, to Graham is greater from the standpoint of personal valuation be cause of what it represented. Cary correspondent to Crystal Lake Herald: Cary State Bank, organized Jan. 2(1, 1914, held its first regular annual mefeting of stock holders Monday Jan. 25, 1915. The same board of directors and advisory board were re-elected as follows: Directors--T. H. Wulff, M. B. Weaver, N. B. Kern, C. W. Stenger, E. L. Wagner. Advis­ ory board--H. Newbold, Ed Hubka, Wm Wascher. After the stockholders' meeting the meeting of the board of directors was held, at which the follow­ ing officers were elected for the en­ suing year: president, T. H. Wulff; •ice president, C. W. Stenger; cashier, J. J. Sutton. Those interested in the bank -expressed great satisfaction at the showing made by the new bank at Cary. Although the bank has been organized for one year, yet it has been open for business but 9 months and 15 days. It started without one dollar deposit, and the statement at the pres­ ent time shows a deposit of over $46,000 and over and above all expenses a net earning of about $600. This is an un­ usual showing for the first nine months in business as the history of a majority of like institutions shows an expense instead of a profit at the end of the first year. TWO DEATHS WITHIN WEEK EDWIN JOHN HANLY PASSES AFTER LONG ILLNESS AWAY Edwin John Hanly passed away at his home in McHenry early Friday morning, January 29, 1915. He was born on the old homestead near this village January 16, 1849, the third son of Alexander and Susan Hanly. Here he grew to manhood and received his early education in the public school and in Todd's seminary at Woodstock, 111. During the greater part of his life he was associated with his father and brothers in their many activities and for seventeen years was manager of the Hanly flour and feed mill. On ac­ count of ill health he was finally com­ pelled to leave this work and was aft­ erward engaged in many enterprises, both here aqd elsewhere. A farm in Texas was purchased by him and there he spent several years, returning eventually to the old home to spend the remainder of his life and to enter actively into farming and the canning industry with his brother, George. He was married June 4, 1870, to Helen Grace Shirts and to them were born four children; two of these died in infancy. In his passing he leaves the wife, two grown sons, George Alexander an<^ Harry Hamilton, and one brother, George H. Hanly, besides his friends, which are many. About eight months ago, while busy with his work, he was stricken with appendicitis and was taken to Wesley hospital in Chicago, where an opera­ tion was performed upon him. After five weeks spent in the hospital he was brought home much improved and it was thought for a time that his recov­ ery was assured, However, complica­ tions occurred, which medical and sur­ gical skill could not remove, and he passed from among us after this long, lingering illness. Funeral services were held at half past one Sunday afternoon at the Uni- versalist church, conducted by Rev. John Ratcliff, after which the Wood­ men took charge, giving an escort to Woodland cemetery, where the im pressive ritual of their order closed the service.

E. church. A number of rela tives and friends gathered at the grave to pay their last respects to one that they had learned to love dearly and whose sweet memory is soifeeply cher ished by them. The relatives have the sympathy of our people in this, their sad bereavement. ^ VALENTINE PARTY The members of the Just Us club, which in the past few years has con­ ducted some of the most successful dances ever held in this village, an nounce that they will give a valentine party at Stoffel's hall here on Satur­ day evening, Feb. 6. Everyone who has attended any of the dances held by ^)his club knows that these events were of a very high standard and always proved most enjoyable.
