Henry Ford planned a tour thru the west by the Ford Motor company's band of 175 pieces. The trip cost him $100,000, it is estimated, and will boost Detroit and his business. The Buick Motor company is doing the. same. Every town needs a band, every band needs good members and every member needs an interest and all of these needs must be bolstered up by the townspeople in order to spell suc­ cess. A band is said to. be of more service to a town than a bank---be­ cause it handles more notes! Never­ theless, a town needs both. The McHenry band was organized for the pleasure of the individual members and for the benefit of the town. Bands in small towns are not for profit and such bands must depend upon co-operation, not alone of the members, but of the business interests of the town as well. If the Ford Motor company can af­ ford to tour a band of over 100 pieces to advertise their business, every town of 500 inhabitants, or over, should work to support a band to help advertise and enliven their town.

The Christmas tree at the Univer- salist church this Wednesday evening will be one of the most beautiful ever arranged by that society. An excel­ lent program has> been prepared and all are cordially invited. The dramatic club played to a big house on Thursday night last and it the universal expression they done well. Each took their part in a manner creditable to themselves and when we consider that they have got­ ten up this drama without any out­ side help it is creditable in the ex­ treme. The second Demorest medal contest was held at Ringwood on Friday even­ ing last. The church was filled with attentive audience. The contest was a very close one and some excel­ lent speaking was done, the contes­ tants one and all displaying much tal­ ent in that direction. The medal was awarded to Miss Ruth Barnard. A book of poems was given to Miss Liz­ zie Lumley as second best. Jack Roney of Wauconda had the misfortune to drown a valuable horse in the lake at that place on Wednes­ day last. He was driving him for exercise and driving down upon the lake, where scores of teams had been that day, broke thru and barely escaped with his own life, the horse being drowned before assistance ar­ rived. He was a valuable blooded stallion and1 was owned by parties in Chicago. At a regular communication of Mc­ Henry lodge, No. 158, A. F. and A.
