Timet, Dee. 7, WW] Bristol, Dec. 1, 1910. EDITORS TIMES: Noticing BY the papers that agents are out again thru the country selling oil by the barrel, apd as I with others Invested last spring UTA have Ko^n aolrfuj HAW WA and whether it gave satisfaction. As I can speak from expe ricuuSj Mr. Ed­ itor, i would jcinaiy ask for space in your papefr thru which' I oould give my views to its many readers, as it might do them good. No?.* as to the question, "Are you satisfied?" Yes, myfrieiid. From the very bottom of my heart, I can say I am completely satisfied. There is nothing in the world that will so com­ pletely satisfy a person as experience, especially when he has the wool pulled over his eyes and is made to believe he is driving a big bargain and at the same time is helping to down some cor­ poration. Even if you pay double price from what you are supposed to pay, it certainly is a satisfaction to know, or think at least, that you arc getting your oil three cents less than your home merchant sells it for, and then you are in doubt sometimes wheth­ er you always get full measure. But these agents are strangers. Of course we all trust strangers and if they they tell us there are fifty gal­ lons to the barrel it must be so. And then they are so courteous and oblig­ ing; they are willing to test it right there in the car for you. What more could you ask? We farmers as a rule understand this oil testing equally as well as tho someone eafne along and tested our Old Brindle with a ten pen­ ny nail for tuberculosis. But never mind. If that barrel con­ tains fifty gallons you aire making $1.60 clear gain, unless they should notify you in harvest or haying time (as they did me) that your barrel had arrived and you must call for it promptly or pay for bringing it out, which would SHD $2. Of course that would mean an awkward hole in your profit of $1.50 and of course you go. But when you get that barrel home and find it emp­ ty after having used something like thirty gallons, don't kick. That agent did not guarantee that' the barrel would not leak, or evaporate or run short on measure, and even if he had where would you find him? No, blame no one; you bought that oil at a bargain and a loss of from 15 to 20 gallons will not ruin you. The experi­ ence is worth considerable. There is nothing like finding out for yourself. Yes, again I say by all means give it a trial. I am willing to guarantee sat­ isfaction along the lines I have men­ tioned, and then you will have the fur­ ther pleasure of believing and feeling that you are downing the rich corpor­ ations. Of course they are not down yet, but they will be eventually. At least I expect to hear something drop before I invest in another barrel of oil. G. VANDERBIE. I CUFFED mm PLAllTOEALn TWEWfY-FIVE YEAli AG*' THE NORTHERN LIFE OF IttJ- NOIS. THE COUNTY FARMERS' INSTITUTE. TO BE HELD AT NORTH CRYSTAL LAKE ON JANUARY 11 AND 12. A alkie pound boy arrived ft the hotne of Peter Leickem, in this village, on Monday morning last. R. A. Howard, of the West Side market, received an order for meat from Ntew York City, and shipped the isoiO by oXpiimi m lew days Since. Fact. Married:---In McHenry, Jan, 1,1686. by Rev: B. Brunning, at his residence, Albei t Jacob*; of Dorr township, to Miss Nellie M. Terwilliger, of Nunda. The sew bell' at the M, E. church has been put into position, and now church-goers can know the hour of service at the church by one of the best sounding bells in the county. Our soft, rainy weather of the past week caught a severe cold on Monday night, and ice men are again smiling-- The change is certainly for the better. Anything but mud in the winter time. The new firm of Althoff Bros, have taken possession of the store lately purchased of F. G. Mayes, and with a full stock of new goods are now ready to receive calls from their friends and the buying public generally. Despite the talk of hard times, our merchants enjoyed a very good holiday trade this year. People are beginning to find out that they can do just as well or a little better, to trade right here at home than they can to go to some neighboring place. The sooner all learn this the better it will be for them and our town. j The New Year's parties in this vil­ lage were all well attended and a gen eral good time is reported. At the Parker House on New Year's evening, 108 couples were in attendance, at the Riverside House on New Year's night there were 155 couples, and at Heimer's hall/ the same evening, 65 couples. Who say* this is not a dancing com­ munity? All who attended the New Year's parties in this village are loud in their praise of the splendid music furnished by SlocUm's orchestra. And indeed, no finer music was ever heard in a ball room. It consisted of first and second violins; clarionet, flute, first and sec­ ond cornet and bass, seven pieces, and the best musicians say that it could not be surpassed. Slocum's orchestra now has a reputation of which they may well feel proud, as no dancing party in this section is complete with­ out their presence. Married--At Genoa Junction, Wis., Jan. 1, 1886.' E. W. Wright and Miss Ida Marvin, both of Rockford. Mr. Wright is a son of Robt. Wright of this village, but for the past few years has been a trusted employe of the American Express company at Rock- ford. He has a host of friends here who will wish the newly wedded pair bon voyage in the journey of life. Miss Ida Marvin was for a short time a resident of this village a few years ago and was highly respected by all who knew her.

UABX, Woodstock, 111. the The farmers' institute is the school of instruction for the farmers and home-makers, and it is the boys who will be farmers and the girls who will be home-makers in'a short time who especially need the instruction which the institute is intended to furnish. Therefore it should be attended by the boys and girls whether the old folks attend or not. The young folks have less to forget and are less wedded to preconceived opinions. They are more open minded and therefore more recep­ tive to new ideas. Much good can al­ ways be counted on from an institute where there are plenty of young people. Get the boys and girls out to the in­ stitute even if you have to stay at home yourself. There are farmers who are boys until they are old men; that is, they retain the receptivity of the boy's mind and the hunger for new ideas. There can not be too many of such people at an institute, no matter what their age, but if your boys and girls are interested in agriculture and home-making or you want to interest them, get them to attend the farmers' institute. A splendid program has been ar­ ranged for the annual institute meet­ ing to be held at Crystal Lake Wed­ nesday and Thursday, January 11 and 12. Every. farmer who can possibly do so should arrange to attend this in­ stitute with his wife and family and assist in making the meeting as attrac­ tive as possible to all, and especially to the young people who will soon be­ come managers of farms and homes, and who, most of all, need advice and counsel on the problem* that will soon confront them.

Ward, 25 Richmond NEW FORM OF MONEY ORDERS. Commencing the first of the year the McHenry postoffices, in common with all others thruout the United States, are using the new form of money order, doing away with the use of a letter of advice which heretofore was sent to the paying office. The new form of money order has a coupon attached and is more in the form of a bank draft. The use of the registered pack­ age and tag envelopes were discon­ tinued on that date, thus effecting a large saving in labor and a great ex­ pense in the matter of material. Re­ turn cards for registered mail are no longer used except in such instances* where the party sending a registered letter or parcel makes a specific re­ quest to that effect.
