MOSHER, Editor and Minarcr Public Pulse (All communications for this department must be signed by the writer, otherwise they will not be published. The Plaindealer invites its readers to express their opinions in these columns.) 2144 Estes Ave., Chicago, 111. the McHenry Plaindealer, McHenry, 111. Attention of Mr. A. H. Mosher, Editor: Several years ago I was offered a rammer home in McHenry in trade for some undesirable Chicago real estate, and felt at the time that I was probably getting something just as bad, and of the two evils I chose the one that I thought would be the fartherest away from my sight. My work h» Chicago is very confining and I had little time, if any, to devote to pleasure, so naturally thought I would put the property back on the market but found there was no market at that time. Not succeeding in disposing of the property, I ventured out there a couple of times in disgust and finally thought that as long as I made a bad bargain I had better make the best of it. Well, as time went on and weather became fairer and warmer I would ety. We have a fish dinner now every week-end up there and some fish to spare. Soon the hot weather set in and to my delight swimming was very good. The children came in for this sport in great shape and are in their suits almost continually in the nice warm sunshine. The tan they got is envied by all their friends. As we would come and go we noticed the large number of golfers coming to McHenry and out of curiosity tried the two courses and of course were agreeably surprised. The links are far better than a great many of those close in and around Chicago. So much so, in fact, that I soon disposed of my membership in one of the finest clubs in Chicago where memberships sold for $2,000 and dues were $150 per year. Why pay exorbitant dues and fees there when you have better golfing in McHenry at practically no cost. The summer soon slipped by and September came with the children going back to school. However, the week-end parties were more than delightful as we would come up Friday night and go home Sunday night, having diverified the time between boating, fishing, golfing and hiking. Oh boy, how you felt Monday morning and how you can work for the balance of the week and how you welcomed Friday night again. Ask me, I'll tell you. Well, winter came.

This body could then put McHenry on the map in red. They could solicit donations or dues for this purpose. In the spring when people start to stir around and look for a summer home, they naturally look in the classified ads in various papers. Here they could find an ad stating that before buying a summer home or planning a vacation to write the McH^psy Chamber of Commerce for, free pamphlet. This^m^itptltel could outline all tj»<r*«!fvantages of buying a home or visiting in McHenry. The Small park along the river north of the bridge could be made more attractive for swimming. The public square could &e made to include swings, etc. for children while their parents go fishing or golfing. Capital could be made of the fact that the state is going to stock the lakes and river and probably make a fish and game preserve out of the lakes just north of McHenry. The Chamber of Commerce could see to it that the river was properly stocked and weeded. Take advantage of the fact that next year times are going to be slow and people will naturally stay close to home. Also plan for the 1933 fair. If you can get such an organization functioning before spring, McHenry can receive the full benefit of its location and resources. A letter could be sent to every merchant and citizen there with a request for their opinion, suggestions or co-operation and with the type of people that make up McHenry I think you can put it over with a bang. I have no personal interest in the matter, but was out there Sunday and on the way home was inspired to write to you, knowing that others might appreciate being informed of the fact that they can enjoy themselves there as much as gny friends, family and I have the past two or three years.

Henry, colored attorney, in Municipal court here. Andrew Merritt, colored, thirty-five, was charged with driving a wagon without a tail light and causing an auto accident. Henry, his attorney, admitted that the defendant was driving without a light, but pointed out that the law allows a driver until a half hour after sundown before he muBt burn dlghts. The accident occurred at 6:25 p. m. Henry produced an almanac to prove that official sundown was six o'clock, thus allowing the driver five minutes. Judge Paul C. Wetter held that the almanac was sufficient proof, SUNDAY MONDAY "Dp the River" Laugh This Off!

Caroline, the marvelous trained goose--that is how she" was billed. Even Daisy's song was lncid£ptal, merely serving to fill fortynine seconds while Tim changed Carolina's costume in the wings. Yes, Caroling was the little money maker in the Gordon and Gordon combination, and if Daisy hadn't had Influenza and been laid up in a hospital for several weeks the season's profits wouldn't have been so bad. Fortunately, they were booked some weeks ahead and if they rnnde good further bookings would doubtless even up. At least, that was the situation when Tlni fell a victim to the same prostrating malady which had so weakened his sister. "It's no use, kid. i can't go on today. Heaven knows whether you «*aa manage alone. Just our iuck, too, having that guy Winters follow us wlfh his dog act. Can't figure whether he's sweet on you or has an eye on getting the goose or queering our act somehow." Tim tossed restlesslj. "I'll manage," Daisy assured him. But at the very mention of Dick's name, Daisy flushed until she rivaled Tim's feverishness. Was It coincidence that Winters had played in so many theaters at the same time as she and Tim? Was he really "sweet on her," or was Tim's other ' cynical surmise correct ? She resolutely put the thought from her and rose briskly. The work of the performance would be doubled for her, and before that there was the coldblooded manager to propitiate who would not be keen about canceling one member of the Trained Goose act. At the stage door, Daisy ran Into Dick and wondered If it was her ima g i n a t i o n , or i f , . I n t h e a b s e n c e of Tim, he wasn't considerably more cordial and iriendly even than usual. "Darn shame about Tim," he said. ILet me know if there's anything I ^an do. How's Caroline? Any time Tim wants to sell the old girl, don't forget she'd just top my act." Somehow or other, Daisy staggered through the afternoon and then rushed home to report to Tim, only to find her brother tossing in' delirium. A hastily summoned doctor looked grave, feared pneumonia, ufged a nurse for the next few days. After he had gone, Daisy sat quietly for a few moments, then silently gathered her resources together, determined to pull Tim through. Recalling Dick's words, she called him by telephone in the lobby below and she felt a great wave of relief I sweep through her as Dick promised to come right over. 1 Three days later Tim woke from his first refreshing sleep. Daisy sat beside him holding his thin, white hand. Beneath Dhisy's eyes were dark circles and Ler face was wan. There had been no work for Caroline the past few days. On the contrary, there had been bills for medicine, fbr the doctor, for the nurse, for extra hotel service. Daisy's pocketbook was flat and Tim's rifled pockets no longer jingled. Not near-broke now were Gordon and Gordon. Stony broke. And the doctor had said Tim must have nourishing food to pu|l htm through. Daisy bit her lip, and her eyes filled. At that instant the door opened and Dick's head poked in. "How's Tlm?"^ he whispered cheerily. "Better? That'sgood. Say, lend me Caroline, will you? She's no use to you right nrfw." Listlessly Daisy nodded assent and Dick withdrew. Tim, waking shortly, took all of Daisy's attention for some time. Suddenly, "Gee, but I'm starved," he said. "What do I get for supper?" Daley turned away. What did hd get, poor fellow! She could pawn her suit perhaps and depend on her ole} raincoat It might tide thehi ove^ until they were earning once mom As she turned to take it down some one knocked at the door. It was not Dick, as she had hoped, hut the bellboy with a tray--a heavily laden tray. Surh a supper! Broth for Tim, roast fowl with all Ita accompaniments for Daisy. "De compliments of Mister Win* ters," said the boy nnd vanished. Just as they were finishing the meal Daisy remembered Caroline. "I wonder what he wanted her she said half aloud. "Her? Who?" asked Tim. "Dick borrowed Caroline," SQfti; Daisy.. ,"Dick Winters!" * exclaimed Tlw, who did not yet know of all that .Dick had done. "Well, then, our goose is cooked!" At his words Daisy's hand flew toiler throat and her eyes to the empty tray. "Goose is cooked! Oh, no, Dick wouldn't have--that sort of thing might make a good plot for a story, but in real life-- "Well, well, folks!" Dick's breezy voice burst upon them. "Some little benefit that was, thanks to Caroline I Stop your noise, Caroline! And here's the proceeds." Into Daisy's lap he l>oured handful after handful of coins and bills. After he had told them all about It Tim apologised sheepishly. "Mis- Judged you, old man," he said. "Thought you were after Caroline." "No," sal 1 Dick slowly. "I'm not after Caroline." And across Tim's lied Dick's honest eyes and Daisy's _shilling ones met. -Those JmIotm Eyes "If," importunes a cross-eyed customer of the Arkansas Gazette, "only 10 per cent of the people have perfect eye sight, what would you say of the other 90 per cent?"
