Friend subscriber, if you owe us a dollar, or two dol­ lars, WE NEED IT to pay our own bills created in publishing this paper for you to read.

Relates Game In Rhymes An original poem, composed by Mrs. Peter Doherty of this village follow­ ing a social meeting of the Altar and Kosary society of St. Patrick's parish, describes a game played by the mem­ bers, which proved especially enter­ taining: The Ring Game Our society met in session, It was at the K. of C. hall. And of all the meetings we ever had, It was the best of all. Now the program, it was splendid, And the ring gaftte, it was grand. . Well you ought to see the thowing, When our president took the stand. Then next came Mrs. Schaffer, » Her thowing, too, wa% good, But she couldn't get the rings to go The way she thought she could. So she called on Mrs. Bonslett, Who threw both straight and strbng. Well, I don't know how it happened, But her rings they all went wrong. Then the next was Mrs. Doherty To show what she could do, And I know that she imagined She could ring not one, but two. But when alas, she missed it, She seemed to feel so bad, And said, "She didn't have the chance The other ladies had." Then next came Mrs. Frisby, As gaily as could be, And said, "Why this is easy, So I'll just ring all three." But when she started throwing, The rest of us could see It wasn't quite so easy As she thought 'twas going to be. Well, Mrs. Cleary was the next, She threw with cautious air, But when she couldn't ring the Cstick She said she didn't care. Then next wa's Mrs. McEvoy, And her throwing it was fine, But every time she threw a ring It somehow missed the line* Now Mrs. Givens was the next, Who stepped right to the front, And just because she had two boys Thought she would do the stunt. So slfe threw and threw and threw the ring, Her throwing was a fright, For every time she threw the thing, It went both left, and right. Then next we called on Mrs. Knox, Shq, too, has boys you know, And so we thought she'd be the one To teach us how to throw. But when she started throwing, The rings they went so high; Well, some of us were lucky, We didn't lose an eye. Then last estate Mrs. Bolger, Who'd been watching all the fun, But she said it was no use trying, For "it never could be done."- Then up come? Stanley Schaffer And put every ring just. so. Oh, isnft that surprising? But he's a man you know. Now they talk of women voting, And suffrage till you're sick, But I think they rule the nation^ The way they ring a stick.

A 2:30 Race, In Which Four Horses Are Entered, Will Alsd Be on the Program--Will Start on Time Posters are out announcing another driving matinee under the auspices of the McHenry Driving club to take place at the McHenry driving park next Sunday afternoon. The afternoon's program will be made up of two races ahd from the interest that was shown at the open­ ing races held here a couple of weeks ago a big crowd is looked "for next Sunday. The first of the two races will be matched between Albert Daniels, owned by Frank Hughes, and Robert F., owned by John F. Freund. These two horses put up such a close and in­ teresting race on the ice last winter that the members of the McHenry Driving club saw where a match be­ tween these two horses would make quite a drawing card next Sunday, and by getting the two horse race owners together this event was made possible. The other race will be made up . of four horses in the 2:30 class and, in view of the fact that considerable rivalry exists between the drivers of these animals, the public may rest assured of seeing a close and interest­ ing finish in this race. The members of the driving oclub also wish to assure the public that the races will be called promptly at 2:30 o'clock and that there will be no such delay as was experienced at the open­ ing races. All of the owners and drivers have already been given no­ tice that the horses must all be on hand and ready for the start at 2:30, thus thbse who turn out to watch the sport are assured that everything will be over in time for the outsiders to get to their homes in time for the even­ ing meal. General admission to the park will be 25 cents. Children under twelve years of age free when accompanied by parents. Tax Collectors Lose Jobs . The bill introduced in the legisla­ ture abolishing the office of tax col­ lector was passed at Springfield last week, and will become effective on July 1, 1918.

Un­ der the law, the county treasurer will collect the taxes and any additional help he may need the board of super­ visors will have to supply. The bill provides for the payment of personal taxes in February and the real estate tax is to be paid one-half in February anr one-half in September of each year. Band Concert Was Great The concert rendered by the Mc­ Henry Military band on the school campus Tuesday evening was well at­ tended and the music high-class. Not only did the people of the village and surrounding country attend, but sev­ eral from adjoining towns were pres­ ent to enjoy the fine musical program Surrounding streets and the school grounds were packed with automo­ biles, while hundreds stood on the hillside until the close. It is hoped that the concerts may be continued.

McEvoy, director of the McHenry Choral society, will have his choral somewhere on the banks of Fox river, very likely at Hunter's boat landing, on the evening of Tues­ day, July 3, for an open air concert. On this occasion nothing but old time and national airs will be sung and while these song are old they have not lost any of their popularity. Quartets made up of members of the club will render a number of the se­ lections and the public can rest as sured of a treat on this occasion. While no admission will be charged, the club has arranged for a tag day and young ladies will pass thru the crowd armed with tags, which will be disposed of atr whatever fee one wishes to donate. The object of the tag affair is to secure funds with which to help de fray the expense of putting on Stabet Mater on July 15. Stabet Mater will be put on in McHenry in the most elaborate form and music lovers of this village and the surrounding coun­ try are assured of some of the best singing ever heard in McHenry coun­ ty. The cost of putting on this produc­ tion in McHenry |n the form that is now planned will be quite large and the director as well as the members of the choral decided that the concert and tag day event would help them out considerably. The McHenry Military band has al­ so consented to be on hand on the evening of July 3 and with their as­ sistance the occasion should be a thoroly enjoyable one. This will be the first open air con­ cert ever given by the choral and with favorable weather conditions McHenry should entertain several hundred vis­ itors on that night. Rehearsals for the production of Stabet Mater are also under way and from all reports fine progress is be­ ing made. For this occasion the so­ ciety has already secured the services of a quartet of Chicago singers, whose reputations extend from one end of that city to the other. In fact, they are the very best outside of grand opera stars that Chicago now boasts of. The quartet consists of Frank M. Dumford, base; Thos. McGranahan, tenor; May Farrell, soprano;, Rose Lutiger, contralto. Together with these a high-class six-piece Chicago orchestra has also been engaged These with McHenry's well and care­ fully trained choral should furnish a treat that will be worth coming miles to hear. Don't forget the open air concert on July 3 and when the young ladies call on you with a tag help the good cause along by "coming across" with a donation, no matter how large or how small same may be. Every pen­ ny, nickel, dime, quarter or half dollar will help. Future Band Concerts The Plaindealer has been requested to announce that all future band con­ certs will take place on the McHenry public school grounds and that the next concert will take place therfe on Wed­ nesday evening of next week, June 27. Subscription blanks have been placed at both banks for the convenience of those who wish to contribute to the band concert fund. As stated in pre­ vious issues of The Plaindealer, ail the band, boys ask is $15.00 per concert and in view of the fact that the member­ ship numbers twenty or more players it can retfdily be seen that the boys are not asking a single penny for their services. The amounts thus collected will go into the general fund and will be used in purchasing music and de­ fraying other incidentals and if ever they get enough together new uniforms will also be purchased. Independence Ball An Independence ball, to which a cordial invitation is extended to every­ body, will take place at Stoffel's hall on the evening of Tuesday, July 3.
