The first township convention of the year is at McHenry, March 13. Mrs. Warren Thomas, twp. pres., Mrs. C. E. H. Tuttle, secretary. The date of our county oonvention has been definitely fixed for Thursday and Friday, June 33-24, at Marengo, no providence preventing. We expect Brother C. E. Schenck to be with us this year. Fifty Sunday schools were reported for the county last year. The number may well be increased this spring. Township officers can encourage the opening for the summer of a very use­ ful school in several unoccupied fields at country achoolhouses. The organization of one country Snn- day school in this county has been the means of securing the addition of forty members to one of our churches. Others have done the same in a less degree. Here is a practical field for home mis­ sion work in our churches. The report of our county treasurer BhowB a balance on hand at the close of last year's convention of $34.38. She has in preparation a complete statistical report. This work can be greatly sim­ plified for her if the township presidents will secure a report from each of the schools in their respective townships and forward them at once in a complete form. "Break np your fallow ground." Be tween Decision day and Easter Sunday is an excellent time for bringing back those who have fallen out since Christ­ mas thru sickness, bad weather, or neg­ lect. There are also children in fam­ ilies which have religious traditions, but no present religions connections, who should be gathered into the Sunday school as a step toward rekindling the home altar. One hundred thousand dollars is a big fortune. Few men achieve it even in a life time of work, and those who do in most communities are accounted rich If it had been possible at the ning of the world, say 6,000 years to lay aside #100,000, and then each year thereafter to plaoe on top of it a like sum, the grand total in the sixty centuries supposed to have elapsed since time began, taking no account of inter­ est, would be six hundred million dol­ lars,--just the assets of the New York Life today. The comparison is startling. It throws into relief the ralre judgment and business acumen that enabled those connected with the various manage­ ments of the New York Life--many of them long since dead--to create in sixty- five brief years a going concern with so vast an amount of assets. Six hundred millions is indeed a big sum. But it takes a big sum, a mighty big sum, to back np and make as good as wheat policy contracts for more than two billions of insurance, any of which may become claims at any moment, and every one of which stands for a bash payment at the policy's matnrity by death or otherwise. In times past men and women have lost money and met with dire disaster thru the failure of life insurance com panies that didn't have assets enough to meet their liabilities. It's a mighty good fault to have one's life insurance in a company whose assets are great and strong beyond a shadow of doubt. But big as this sum is, it is not a menace. It is not a Wall street tund. Itis not hoarded in New York City, state or elsewhere. It is universal prop­ erty, one might 'say. These dollars of the company are at work, actively at work, in many cities, states and sec­ tions. President Kingsley touched on this point in one of his late addresses. Our railroad bonds represent dollars loaned by the Netv York Life to build, maintain or improve the railroads that unite communities; onr money thus helps in the development of local trade and commerce. It is the same with the money loaned to governments, cities, and corporations. These loans mean expenditures locally, not in New York, but in the communities that have bor­ rowed the funds they needed. And so it is with the money that is out on mortgage loans. These loans aid in the development of local enterprises, in the building of our homes and our cities. Every dollar of the New York Life's in­ vestments either directly performs the work referred to, or releases another dollar that can be spent or invested locally for these purpose's. Thus, in a large sense, the New York Life is a 'ideal company," with the added strength that comes from not carrying all of its eggs in one basket. . The New York Life's list of assets in its detailed statement is a constant an­ swer to the representatives of local com­ panies who cry "Keep your money at home." E. J. Cohan, who has a summer home at Emerald Park, Is the local agent for the company. He makes weekly trips to McHenry and will be pleased at any time to further enlighten those wishing additional information regarding the New York Life. OF A PERSONAL NATURE WHOM WE ENTERTAIN WHERE WE GO. AND CONCERNING COUNTY SCHOOLS Item* of General Interest M Farnlulled by County Superintendent. McHenry Entertains a Large Company of Visitors Daring the Week--Whom We Entertain. John F. Miller spent Tuesday in Chi­ cago. Mrs. Theo. Winkels spent Wednesday in Chicago. E. W. Howe was a business visitor in Chicago Monday. Everett Hunter was a business visitor in Chicago Tuesday. Dr. D. G. Wells was a professional visitor in Chicago Monday. » Mrs. Fred Weinschenker spent Satur­ day and Sunday last in Chicago. John Theonnes was among the Chica­ go passengers Monday morning. H. E. Clemens was a business visitor at the county seat last Saturday. • Miss Bertha Wolff spent Tuesday and Wednesday with relatives in Elgin* C. G. Frett attended to business mat­ ters in the metropolitan city TuAday. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bob lander were Chicago visitors Monday and Tuesday. Mi.«s Myrtle Cobb of Chicago is spend­ ing the week at the home of L. F. New­ man. Mrs. Theo. Schiessle, son, Theo., and daughter, Bertha, passed. Tuesday in Chicago. Miss Anna Stock was among the Chi­ cago passengers from this station last Friday morning. C. M. Adams of Johnsbargh boarded the Chicago train at this station Wed­ nesday morning. Dr. W. C. Besley of Woodstock pass­ ed Tuesday night at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Besley, here. Mrs. Charles McArthnr of Elgin spent the latter part of last week at the home of her mother here. Mr. Mc­ Arthnr was a Sunday guest at the Wolff home. Q Miss Grace Conn of Hebron has taken the place made vacant by the resigna­ tion of Mi^s Bessie Barnes In the Ester- gren district in the town of Algonquin. There is a general movement in the educational work of this country that tends to improve the physical conditions under which the children live during school hours. Ventilation is one of the things that are receiving much atten­ tion and justly so. Individual drinking caps are becoming common and this will be a long step toward lessening the spread of contagious diseases. In some of the more advanced communities in school matters people are making pro­ visions for the regular examination of children by competent physicians. There is a vacancy in district 79, a country school about two miles west of Crystal Lake. The directors would like to have the school begin work on Mon day, March 14. Applicants should hold valid teacher's certificate and are re­ quested to call at the office of the coun­ ty superintendent prior to engaging the position. Prin. Kimball and his wife of Ridge field visited the normal school at DeKalb recently, where Mr. Kimball made ar­ rangements for pursuing his work in that institution. Mr. Kimball is one of the uio^t effective and satisfactory teachers in the county. The directors in the Walkup district, north of Ridgefield, have installed the Smith heating system. This is the first system of the kind that has been intro­ duced into the country schools of this county. ItTis a move in the right direc­ tion. The system provides for ventila­ tion, which is the distinct feature and the one to be emphatically endorsed. The directors in this district are Richard Reed, Geo. Baker and Wm. Wagner. The teacher is Miss Ella Baker. This is one of the best country schools in the county and the people of that commun­ ity are to be congratulated on the( pro- gressiveness so evident in their Softool. A meeting of dairymen is to be held in the village of Greenwood on next Thursday, March 10. Speakers'from abroad, as well as good local talent, will address the meeting. It is to be held at the school house. Pinner will be served by the ladies of the Cemetery Aid soci­ ety. Messrs. Harrison of Greenwood and Gilkerson of Marengo made the arrangements for the meeting. These affairs should receive the support of ail farmers and they should become more common than they now are. Every teacher in the country schools should see to it that the school house receives a thoro cleansing during the spring vacation. Often this is not done from fall until the close of the spring term. Annual house cleaning is not frequent enough in the country schools to insure against the attacks of disease. It is largely "up to the teacher" to see that these matters are attended to at the proper time. The annual teachers' institute and county federation will be held at Wood­ stock March 28-April 1. Thursday and Friday, March Skand April 1, will be the federation days. Boards of direc­ tors and of education are requested to grant the entife five days of the insti­ tute to the teachers without loss of pay. Furthermore, the boards should see to it that their teachers attend these meet­ ings. Every effort is being put forth to make this -the banner meeting in the history of the countj^and we earnestly hope that not one teacher in the county will be absent and that their attendance will be for the whole time. Professors Gilbert and Charles will present the educational themes, pedagogy and na­ ture study, respectively. Mrs. Lena D. Collier of the School of Education of the University of Chicago will have charge of the hand work and drawing. The federation program will be one of the best in its history. The Illinois Congress of Mothers will furnish the program for Friday, April 1. Teachers desiring accommodations for the week are requested to write to Supt. E C Thomas or Prin. W. E. Evans of Wood­ stock. Capt. llogardim Again Hits the BUII'H KY«*. This world famous rifle shot who holds the championship record of 100 pigeons in 100 consecutive shots is living at Lin­ coln, III.
