"Bill" D^nn was a caller at The Plaindfc&ler office oil Wednesday morn ing of this week and brought with him a bunch of testimonials that he has received from people who have tried his salve and found it to be the best tl^ng in that line ever manufactu At Mr. Dunn's request we arejliere with producing the testimonials: - :. West McHenry, 111.,tFeb. 6, 1912 Wm. Dunn, ; Dear Sir--I am very much pleased with the salve I purchased of you. It it a great healer. Yours respectfully, C. E. SHERMAN. William Dunn--It affords me great pleasure to recommend your salve for healing qualities--none better. It will do what no other salve will do. JOHN BOYLE, Highway Commissioner, McHenry Township. Feb. 10, 1912. Mr. William Dunn, Dear Sir--Will say I have tried your salve and find it will do all you claijp for it. Tried it on a heifer with caked udder with excellent results. Yours with respect, R. H. RICHARDSON. I have used the salve manufactured by Wm. Dunn for considerable time and in many very satisfactory ways and can recommend it very highly for all purposes. I have healed severe cuts on my hands, cracked and chapped teats on my cattle and am positive there is nothing better. MARK HUTSON. West McHenry, 111., April 24,1912. To the People in General: This is to testify that I have used Wm. Dunn's salve on animals in my dairy this spring and find that it is valuable in healing open sores and softening the udder and recommend it to all dairymen. Yours very truly, GEO. FRISBY. Jan. 1, 1912. The W. H. Dunn Med. Co., West McHenry, 111. Dear Sir--I have put your ointment to severe tests. The results are magic. An ounce of it is worth a gallon of any salve I have ever tried on our farm. Yours respectfully, N. F. COLBY. Before leaving Mr. Dunn also im­ parted to us the news that he has been made a proposition whereby he can make a nice piece of change by em­ powering a certain Chicago party with the right to sell the salve in the state of New Jersey. Mr. Dunn has not yet decided what he will do in this matter, but is giving it his most serious consideration. M. M. Niesen, the Centerville gro- ceryman, can supply you with seed po­ tatoes. He has the Early Rose and Early Ohio varieties. 40-tf M'HENRY PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES FIRST BASEBALL GAME TO BE PLAYED NEXT SATURDAY. The sophomores are busy studying figures of speech.

This proves to be very interesting. The members of the physiology class wrote some very interesting papers on 'Exercise" last Friday. Current events are still being dis cussed by the freshmen on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Some of the scholars have been mak­ ing good use of the tennis court since the suow has disappeared. The first baseball game will be played on Saturday afternoon, April 21, on the Emerald Park baseball grounds, one mile south of town. The contesting team will be from Dundee.

To the many friends who supported my candidacy for member of the hon­ orable board ol education of our splen­ did village I wish hereby to tender my sincere thanks. It surely gives me pleasure and is a source of satisfaction to me to know that, in the face of such opposition as was urged against my selection, two hundred and sixty-one men and womeii whom I am pleased to claim as the best men and women of our village and school district took the time and braved the dislike of my opponents to cast their ballots for me. Was it for me, or am I too presum­ ing? On second thought I am sure it was not for me, personally, and am forced* to believe it was the things I am known to stand for that drew so large a vote to my support. I stand and always have and ever will for the best, the very best things for our school. I want the best teachers, suitable grounds, sufficient and well adapted rooms for our students, young and old. I stand for economy, the strictest which may be consistent with capable business conduct of all our district's affairs. This, I am sure, is what caused he best people of our district to favor my candidacy, and not their preference for me personally. To these friends I want to make the promise that my defeat has not lessened my desire for good schools, that I as a citizen of this district shall exercise my prerogative as a citizen and a tax­ payer to use my influence unofficially for the furtherance of our school's best interests. It may not be out of order in this connection to notify those who opposed me, for the same reasons that my friends supported me, that their action has not silenced my tongue nor weak­ ened my arm to plead and fight for the good of our school, our village and our town. No influence of saloon, brewery or dive supported me, nor would I expect it. My canvas was openly conducted and honorably executed; and now that "the forces" to which my opponents were tied have won a victory I am, of course, not indebted in any manner to them. I can conscientiously lose better than I could have afforded to surrender my principles to them in order to win. I had rather a thousand times lose the election than to stoop to the means adopted by my opponents to win; there­ fore the two hundred and sixty-one honorable men and women who gave me their support have my thanks for their efforts to carry to the front the things they desire and principles for which they know I haye always stood openly, above board at all times, and defianj^y when confronted by enemies who would be my bosom friends if 1 chose to take suggestions, advice, yes, and orders, too, from them.
