Frett, mayor of McHenry, that he now intends to go back to his original plan of running for the Republican nomination for representative from the Eighth Senatorial district, after agreeing at a meeting Wednesday night of last week to enter the senatorial race, it begins to look like there is going to be a full track when the candidates assemble under the wire at the polls on April 10. J v v Mr. Frett has authorized The Plaindealer to state that he has finally decided to stick to his original plan of being a candidate for the lower house at Springfield. Since the meeting at Bald Knob last week the mayor has given the matter serious consideration and believes that due to the fact that he had already made quite a personal canvass of the district, soliciting votes for support for the legislative race, he made a mistake In making the change to the senatorial fight. As it stands now there are thirteen candidates in the field for three seats ;TEMPUS FUGIF MORT EITT JEWELRY SHOP GUTTED BOY SCOUTS PAINT CITY HYDRANTS Assemble Friday Afternoon When Called By Mayor to Do "Good Turn" For Home Town Old Landmark on Elm Street, McHenry, Now a Charred Ruin--Fire Early This Morning Another one of McHenry's familiar old landmarks will soon pass out of existence, due to the fire which practically demolished the Mort Ritt jewelry store on Elm street.

Scouting today is looked upon as a most potent force to direct the boys' leisure hours into worthwhile activities and those who contributed to this cause may rest assured that they could not give to a more worthy ope. Although all of the reports from the local solicitors were not in, it is almost a certain fact that McHenry will reach its quota in the drive and those in charge desire to thank the people of McHenry who contributed to this cause and also the solicitors who assisted in the work. The latest, although not final, from the neighboring towns in the county show that Woodstock has raised 80 per cent of its quota, Marengo 50 per cent, Harvard 90 per cent Crystal Lake 90 per cent, Algonquin 50 per cent, and Huntley 132 per cent.

Arabian Nights Story The part of the evening's entertainment put on by the older pupils of the grade school, will be a musical comedy entitled "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and consists of two acts with prologue and is founded on the story of the Arabian Nights.

In the forest outside the city of Bagdad a band or robbers has discovered that some one has entered their magic cave and robbed them of their plunder and the play develops weaving its story about the events which take place and which are related in song.
