Memorial-day was properly observed in McHenry on Thursday afternoon of last week and The Plaindealer wishes first of all to congratulate the handful of loyal McHenryites who attended the services here. The services, altho arranged for and gotten up on very short notice, were in keeping with the day and were held at the Central opera house, which hall was donated for the ojtscasion by Chas. G. Frett. The school children, boy scouts, old veterans and sons of veterans met at the McHenry school house at one o'clock and an hour later started the march to the cemetery. The march­ ers were joined in Centerville by a few loyal McHenryites and the proces­ sion wended its way to Woodland $nd Catholic cemeteries, where the graves, of the departed soldiers were decked with flowers by the school children. The assemblage again formed in line after all graves had been looked after and a march to the Central opera house was made. At the Central a,few more citizens who had not visited the cemeteries, joined the patriotic ones and a suitable program was listened to. The attend­ ance/however, was far from 'what it should have been and the principal speaker of the day, Rev. D. Lehane, told his audience so in words that should bear fruit by the time another year rolls around. The exercises at the Central were opened by Commander H. C. Mead, who took charge of the preliminary services to the old soldiers, which also marked the opening of Decoration day services. Next in order was a song by, the school children, which was very capably rendered and enjoyed by all. Commander Mead, who also acted as chairman, next introduced Rev. I). Le­ hane, who responded by delivering an addre£& of which he only is capable of presenting to an audience of this kind. During his address he told his listeners of the great good that the living and dead soldiers, in whose memory the day has been set aside, had done for this, the grandest"country in the world, and urged that the day be kept more sacred by the people of this village. Rev. Lehane's address was hinged chiefly upon patriotism and in words that expressed, we believe, the senti­ ment of those assembled, he said that from the turnout of the day it was quite evident that very little patriotism prevailed in McHenry. IIis address, we earnestly believe, will bear fruit in another year. Rev. Lehane's address-was followed by another songby the school children, also very well rendered. Simon Stof­ fel was the next speaker of the day and he gave a very interesting account of the powers of land and sea. He gave figures of the standing armies of the different countries of t.hn world and other data that was in keeping with the occasion. His address was a well-chosen one and full of interest and instruct! veness. After a few remarks by Commander H. C. Mead and the singing of Amer­ ica by the audience the exercises came to a close. The attendance at the exercises this year clearly demonstrated the fact that patriotism is dying out in McHenry and, inasmuch as the old soldiers are fast passing away, it is up to the sons of veterans to see that the day is prop­ erly observed in the future. The sons of veterans in McHenry are, ^at this time, unorganized and we believe that an organization should be effected be­ tween now and next Decoration day and thus insure the people of McHen­ ry and vicinity that Decoration day in the future will be observed as it has in the past, and this is as it should be. MYSTIC DANCE AT JOHNSBURGH. The Mystic Workers of Johnsburgh will hold a dance at Smith's hall at that place on Wednesday evening of next week, June 12.

Over one hundred men were laid off at the Oliver typewriter .factory at Woodstock during the past two or threfe weeks. Thirty young men have organized a Booster club at Grayslake.

Lake Bluff, a village of two or three stores and a blacksmith shop, at a spe­ cial election held recently, voted to have an'elevated/tank for water pres sure constructed for the village water •supply. This further demonstrates the thrift and .enterprise of Lake court­ ly people. Bert Aten of Dundee, Bolt company worker, was drowned in Fox river at Dundee at one o'clock last Saturday morning. The unfortunate rikan with a companion was crossing the foot bridge suspending Fox river when a large' spiderjyeb attracted A tea's at­ tention. Aten graHbed far it, slipped and fell into the water. Ms body was not recovered until late Saturday aft­ ernoon. f . • Judge D. T. Smiley has reappointed J. T. ^Bower of Richmond and Wm. Pinnow*"bf Crystal Lake as the mem­ bers of the county board of tax review, the former being the representative <|f the Democratic and the latter of the Republican party. H. E. Whipple, supervisor of Dunham and chairman of the board of supervisors, will -be the third member by virtue of the office he holds and he will serve as chairman of tfie tax reviewing body. The sworn statements of the cam­ paign managers of the Roosevelt and Taft campaign in the state of New York have just been made public. That of Mr. Taft shows an expendi­ ture of $5000, while ̂ hat of Roosevelt shows an expenditure of 117,000. It probably took that much to get the real voice of the people. There is considerable room for reflection right here. It there were such a spontan­ eous demand cdming from the people it would hardly require such a vast expenditure of money to have 'ft voiced. Altho Frank Farrell, a farmer, is a little late with his spring plowing he is glad that he did not give it up alto­ gether, as one or two are reported tp have done. About a year ago Mr. Farrell, while working on his farm, a n\ile north of Antioch, lost a roll of bills amounting to about $82. When Mr. Farrell was plowing last week the lost money unexpectedly turned up and the sum that he had counted as lost w£&*«stored to him. A thing that is considered &s somewhat strange is the fact that all of the money, with the exception of a 92 bill was in good con­ dition. This was sent to Washington for redemption.

Fred Smith, a farm hand employed on a farm south of Marengo, was struck and instantly killed by lightning late Tuesday afternoon of last week. Smith was at work in the field and was caught unaware by the storm. He unhitched the horses and started for the barn, but had not covered half the distance when a flash of lightning shot thru the air, killing him instantly.

The McHenry Peerless or­ chestra will furnish the music and dance tickets will be 75 cents THE CENTRAL. The annual commenhejnent exercises of tbe senior class of Hhe McHenry high school took place „jft'the Central opera house last Saturday evening and in spite of the htyi^y rain a large crowd turned out to listen to the^, excellent program that had been 'prepared for the occasion. The stage was very prettily decorat­ ed for the occasion. The Class colors of light blue and gold, the class flower, sweet pea, and house plants of many different varieties, together with the class motto, "Be Sqiiare," presented a picture that, was in true keeping with the occasion. Upon the stage with the nine grad­ uates were seated Prof. A. E. Nye at the right ahd the commencement speaker, Lloyd C. Douglas, at the left. The evening's program was^pened with a beautiful piano duet by Misses Katie Buch and Mary Burke. The number was very well presented and received with a hearty applause from the audience. The girls' glee club sang "Hither Fairies Trip" in a man­ ner that delighted everyone present. Mi***1 Florence Knox, in a clear, dis­ tinct manner, gave the class prophecy, which, if dreams come true, will bring fame and honor to each and every member of the class of 1912. Miss Katie Buch was next called upon to give the junior address, which she did in a most pleasing way. Her address follows: Mingled wTth the pleasure which I, as a representative of the junior class, have in giving you, dear senior of 1912, the farewell words, there is also a feeling of sadness when I think of this day as the last on which we meet as schoolmates. This feeling of sad­ ness will give way to that of loneliness when we juniors of 1912henterl3he place you seniors have now vacated. Thinking of the years spbnt togeth­ er, we all recall the many hours of happiness, algp the many hours of de­ voted study which have enabled you to receive these honors which you incleed deserve. There were many difficult tasks and .earnestly did you strive to accomplish'them and win the honors now conferred upon you. You, dear seniors, cannot think of failure since the foundation which you have formed during these twelve years of school life will enable you to fill a high place in this progressive world. Altho your path be rugged, strive for the best, for "Blessings are not. free, they do not fall into listless hand. * By toil the soul must prbve its stead­ fast purpose over all.'" That Miss Perry's careful guidance and patience in struggling to teach you algebra were not in vain.is evi­ denced by your choosing the motto, "Be Square." B2 is not only a suitable motto for school life, but also for life's school which you are now entering. Being with you thru your pleasant hours of study I am fully convinced that you are as well prepared to enter this new life as any who have gone before you. This world has many difficulties Which at first* will seem t/> over­ come but, as Mr. Nyev often quotes, 4"There is no royal road to success," so one by one these tasks must be accom­ plished. Nbw that you have completed your course in McHenry high school and can never more be our classmates, we juniors hope that the friendship formed during these years may never be sev­ ered. v You, as a class, have shown us every possible kindness and this kindness has been appreciated by us. You have our best and heartiest wishes for a success­ ful future. We only hope that we shall prove to be as bright and good- looking a class next year as you are utonight. "As friends and schoolmates we long have met, And the lemons learned may we ne'er for- And with schooldays o'er until life shall end May we meet and part as frieud with friend." Miss Eleanor Phalin was given the honor of presenting the seniors' re­ sponse and valedictory. This she did in a creditable way, her response and valedictory being full of meaning and food for thought. We hoped to be able t>o reproduce Miss Phalin's ad­ dress, but were unpble to obtain sarag in time for this weeky issue. We will publish same in next week's issue, to- gether wlth that of-ttfe class prophecy by Miss Florence Knox. The girls' glee club once more fa­ vored the assemblage with the rendi­ tion of "Slumber Boat." So highly was this number enjoyedN^hat it was found necessarj$^1%spof\d&o the loud applause* of the audience.! with an^ex- tra nurifcber. The work of this club is to be commended and we wish to con­ gratulate the members as well as the L SSusic teacher, Miss Schultz, whose efforts in training the club have thos pnjwenr-so highly successful. Xt this point the speaker of the CFpLyfi4ity, Was introduced in a fewt weltj&iosen woixli by Pro/.-Nye. Tfte. speaker received a hearty Wel­ come and showed his appreciation by responding with one of the most inter­ esting, insfirtfietive and eloquently de­ livered addres§|s that McHenry people , have listened to In many a day. IlTS" : address was taken from that old, old story Entitled "The G^»"ysypger," an<H, to say the least, n^liS" superb. The speaker in words that were brim full of richness ^id strength pictured to th$ class of 1912 as w^ll as the au­ dience the importance of the hour. He pictured the event 9s theVqost im­ portant ever for the class members and urged that their future efforts be not for naught, but on the other hand be resultant o.f making this a greater and better universe. Mr. Douglas showed the great need of better men and women for the country and dis­ played his disapproval of the manner in which the peoplte In all walks of life af^e "breaking trie speed limit." He portrayed the speed limit by say­ ing that in years gone by it took grand­ father a whole month to make a wagon and*iow they are turning 'em out at the rate of so m^py per hour. Where father was Capable of ..making a whole wagon in those days the generation of today is called upon to operate the ma­ chines that turn out the different parts. He viewed every form of commercial activity in about the same light and thruout his address found many oppor­ tunities to warn the class members against this speed mania. He urged upon them to exercise their own brains and thereby do things as grandpa used to do them instead of doing the tfbrk that was laid out and demonstrated by othei%i..^ We would like very much to publish' Mr. Douglas' eptlre address, but owing to lack of space are unable to do so, but will yenture to say that those who failed to hear this capable speaker surely missed a rare treat. James B. Perry, president of the board of education, presented the di­ plomas and beford doing so told the class that he was going to preach a short little sermon which if lived up to would spell success.to all. His ser­ mon was put into these three words, "Do Your DuVy." Prof. Nye then presented the eighth grade pupils with their diplomas and expressed his wish th&t the class of 1912 would be intact at the commence­ ment of the fall term of school. A vocal number by the senior class, entitled "Soldiers' Chorus," closed an evening of rare entertainment.
