FRED GRABBE, Auctioneer ORVILLE SMITH, CkHt .x • * How to read Percentages Were Dodge Brothers to sell 100 motor cars doe year and 200 motor cars the next, they could truthfully announce that their sales had increased 100% in a single year. Yet they would only have told 300 motor cars in alL In other words, PERCENTAGE of annual gain is not conclusive. The NUMBER of cars sold is the true test. That Dodge Brothers sales in 1926 showed an « increase of 27.6% over 1925 is not the MAJOR fact to consider--striking as it is. But that Dodge Brothers sold 259,967 cars in 1925, and then in 1926 sold 331,764--a gain of 71,797 sales in twelve months--tells a story of growth that stands out like a tower on the Skyline of the industry. Three hundred and thirty-one thousand buyers LAST year! Many more vital improvements added THIS year! No increase in price! Three powerful arguments for earnestly investigating this smart and sturdy product before deciding what to buy! TOURING $ 875 COUPE -...$ 925 SPECIAL SEDAN ......$1M« DELIVERED Cy Gross sez there's tfrree classes of auto owners when it comes to a loss: Th' man who expects to get more th'n his car is worth, th* man who thinks his car is worth more than it is, and th' man who knows what his car is worth and is sure he'll get it. Th' last class save themselves an awful lot of dissa{>pointment. Cy Kology said--Th* k« covered pavements caused many A motorist to wonder whether they were coming or going. Let us l^arn to be content with what we have. Let us get rid of our false estimates, set up all the highest ideals--a quiet home, vines of our own planting; a few books full of the inspiration of a genius; a few friends worthy of being loved and able to love us in return; a hundred innocent pleasures that bring no pain or remorse; a devotion to the right that will never swerve; a simple religion empty of all bigotry, full of trust, hope and love--and to suc)i a philosophy this world will give up all the empty joy it has. A McHenry man says when he fixed his house last year he had a hard wood floor put in the kitchen. Then linoleum was placed on the floor to protect the varnish. After that the linoleum was varnished to protect the linoleum. Then a rag rug was spread out to protect the varnish on the linoleum, and this week news he rug to protect it. He is now wondering what will come next to protect the newspapers. A thorough bath, I calls it, for I used the garden hose. Taint often such befalls it--not my auto, goodness knows. But sumthin' seemed to strike me, sb I sails right in the task. It's not a wee bit like me--if ya care enough to 'ask. * I finHy got 'er finished an' I 'ope she's lookin' great, and when the dirt is diminished--well, I up an' calls me mate. The missus comes a runnin' an' while standin' by my side, she thinks she needs a sunnin' so suggests we take a ride. With all the neighbors stewin', we go sailjn' on our way. They think our car's a new one 'cause it's never looked that way. But soon they find how wrong they are. The thought can ne'er remain, for when ya drive a washe,d-up car, it always starts ta raia. Father would have fewer gra^ hairs worrying over the outgo if mother and the girls only would try to see how little they could dress on instead of how little they could drq&s with. The other night quite in a fright, I woke up with a groan;, began to ring like everything ottr goMurn telephone. I thought I'd scream. I'd had a dream, I'd seen the jabberwock. My "nerved were raw, quite weak my jaw; the French clock said, "Tick,'Tock! Thought I, "Bad news I can't refuse. I know that was a warning. Some flivver skate got smashed up late, who couldn't wait till morning." 1 said, "Gadzooks! I'll bet it's spooks I know my hocks were knocking. "It's someone dead," rang through YOUNG LADIES' SODALITY ELECT OFFICERS FOR YEAR The Young Ladies' Sodality of St. Patrick's church held their meeting at the parish hall on Sunday evening.

They also made plans for a dance to be given St. Patrick's Day. After the meeting a delicious chicken supper was served. Royal Bunco Club The members of the Royal Bunco club were entertained at the home of Mrs. H. Cannon on last Thursday afternoon. Three tables of bunco were in play with first prize going to Mrs. John Keg, second prize to Mrs. William Marshall and the consolation to Mrs. Vera Laures. Refreshments were served.

Domino Club Meets The members of the Domino club were entertained at the home of Mrs. M. Worts on Thursday afternoon of my! last week. After severa' games cf head; both ways my eyes were cock- i dominoes were played, it was found mg. I took the phone down with a moan, the bowels in me churning. From out the dark came this remark: "You left your porch light burning." If you keep your mouth shut you won't get anything in it to hurt you nor let anything out of it to hurt others. that first prize was won by Mrs. Henry Meyers, second prize by Mrs. T. W. Winkle, third prize by Mrs. John Meyers and consolation by Mrs. M. Worts. Refreshments were served. Royal Neighbors Oil Tuesday evening a committee of the members of Fox River Valley Camp, Royal Neighbors of America, gave a party at their hall on Main If the women must patronize the st^eet. Dancing furnished the enterbarber shops," snorted old Cy Kolozy i tainment for the guests, after which the other day, "I wish they wbuld go Junc^ W®R served. About fifty memearlier in the week and not crowd in on Saturdays." James Morrow & Son Waukegan and West McHenry w* AUo a*a Dnyn+hi* u~4 am I finally made up my mind that 1 would leave the cold behind, and with some money in my jeans. I'd take a trip to New Orleans. And sincet^fie cash I've got on hand was made from Sary Jane's stand, I couldn't very well go off and leave her here to sneeze and cough. So I just said, Sary dear, let's beat it somewhere south of here, away from snowstorms and sleet, down where there's oranges to eat and robins singin' in the trees, down where the wind's a balmy breeze instead of blowin' through our clothes and freezin' up your hands and toes." So then I sat me down to plan instructions for the hired man, I think I'd better leave him word to feed the chickens and the bird, and that he should, while we're away, wash up the milk pails once a day. He needn't haul much fodder, but I hope he'll keep the barn door shut, 111 surely give that feller fits if my old cows should freeze their tits. I ain't no hand to make a fuss, but if he ain't industrious while we're away, hell find next spring that he ain't got no job, by jing. But if he does the work up good while I'm away, I probably would give him a bonus and his pay. IH surely thank him anyway! -Possibly this constant trying to pull the skirt down over the knees is an attempt to fool the men into the belief that they don't wear bloomers. My wrists are kinda achin' and my arms 'er lame, they are. lis pains that I been takin' on my blooming motor car. I set myself ta rubbin' an' I worked with "vig" and vim to give the bus the scrubbing that would put the thing in trim. bers and guests were present to en* joy the good time. It takes a string of figures to make a man important enough for the gravure section of the Sunday paper; but one good figure is all a woman needs for publicity. The next time there is a World war, let's all stay at home and tend to our own business. Then there will be no question as to who won the war or who has to pay for it. One of the unexplained mysteries of science is how a cigarette stub can start a forest fire, when it takes an hour and a half to get the furnace going. A man dosen't mind his sins finding him out. What causes him embarrassment is for his sins to find him in. Bunco Club Mrs. Elizabeth Laures entertained the members of the Bunco club at her home Monday evening. A few pleasant hours were spent at bunco with the prize for high score going to Mrs. Elizabeth Laures. Second prize was won by Mrs. Emma Freund and consolation by Mrs. Vera Lewes. Refreshment^ were served. The man raised his eyes to hers. "Come here," he said, softly. He gazed into the unfathomable depths of the liquid blue eyes of the fair young maid sitting next to him--oh, so close to him! Her face expressed Valentine Party, Feb 15 The McHenry Foresters lyill give a Valentine party at Stoffel's Hall on Tuesday evening, Feb. 15.
