That is, we mean the "Ten Merry Girls," who­ ever they may be. ^ In last week's issue we printed a communication sent out from Chicago and signed "Ten Merry Girls." Well, there's no need of our going all over it again, for all know what the contents were. At least all of the elijfibles here in McHenry knew. The boys certainly were all worked up about it and when it was found, after the last train pulled into Mc­ Henry on Saturday evening, that the girls did not come, a general gloom overtook the camp of the McHenry bachelors, some even going so far as to drown their sorrows via the fire water oute. The writer was jumped upon by more than one of the disappointed ones. He has been tainted a liar, a fool and all that goes with it, all on account of those girls. Well, that's Woman Suffrage again. They are al- ays starting things that they cannot finish. Girls, the writer got his so we ire going to divide up and have you share part of the trouble that you have made for us. And that is not all. Now comes communication No. 2, which we here­ with produce: Chicago, Jan. 29, 1912. Mr. Schreiner, Dear Sir--The "Ten Merry Girls" were very sorry to disappoint the Mc­ Henry people by not coming out Sat­ urday, the 27th, as had been planned, but as most of the girls had very bad colds it was decided not to go until the "~th of February. The girls have* promised faithfully to go the 17th. We hope that there will be a few men left by the 17th of February and that they won't all be gone by that ne. Yours sincerely, THE "TEN MERRY GIBLS." If this second attempt proves a fail­ ure, girls, we can see our finish. JAY GRAHAM SECOND MILK PRODUCERS' ASSOCIATION OP McHENRY COUNTY CONVENES CRYSTAL LAKE.
