' Chicago Mrs. Mollie Gi **'•••'&it'•"••• D. A Taxpayer and Man of Family & asking the support of the Republican voters at the primaries next Tuesday, I base my appeal for a second term in the office of County Clerk of McHenry County on the record I have made during my first term, which has received idorsement of seventeen of the nineteen members of the Bbard of Supervisors, as well as other citizens of the county. I came toMcHeipafcountv with my parents when I was three years old, and have lived all my life since in this county, except the time I spent in the service of my country during the war. Immediately after my return from the war service I "became a taxpayer in this county, my first tax payment coming from my last army pay check. I have been a taxpayer every year since. I make these statements merely to correct a rumor to the contrary, which seems to have come to some of the voters who do not know me personally. I have a wife and three children. If the voters believe me worthy of re-election to a second term, I respectfully ask them to go to the polls next Tuesday, call for a Republican ballot and mark a cross in the square before my name, thus: FOR COUNTY CLERK 5r 0 RAYMOND D. WOODS Here 1--1 VOTE REPUBLICAN NEXT TUESDAY • Re-elect ETHEL C. COE County Superintendent of Schools McHenry County FOR THESE REASONS 1. During the nine years she has served as County Superintendent of Schools shte has devoted herself wholeheartedly to the duties of the office, paying particular attention to rural schools because the State of Illinois makes the county superintendent solely responsible for the supervision of rural education. 2. During the past nine years the rural schools of this county have advanced to a leading position in the State.' This is evidenced by the fact that McHenry County has been used as a demonstration county for rural education by the State Department of Public Instruction. The advance in this field has been made possible through the intelligent and cordial co-operation of the boards of directors and the rural teachers of the county. ' r * \v 8.

The Fourth Lovely Lady BY THERESE BENSON (kprrt|M kr B®Mn-li«rrtU Company WWO Sarrle* CHAPTER XIV--Continued ' "Stone!" she exclaimed. "I thought you had gone with the others." He turned at the sound of her •oloe, making no reply where none was needed. "I hoped you'd show up soon," he said. "I want a talk with you. I've something to tell you." "Your secret?" Smlf tried to ' speak brightly, but there was a load on her heart that seemed to weigh down her spirit. "I can guess what it is, and I'm glad If you're happy--ever and ever so glad, Stone." She Jield out her hand which he regarded frownlngly without taking. "Sit down over there," he auctioned to a chair on the other side of his desk, not rising to place it for her. Then he leaned his elbows on the blotter and bent toward her. "I wonder if you're as sooii a guesser as you think you are?" Snfif, too, leaned her arms on the desk, resting: her head in her hands. "I guessed last night,v' sit? said. "I'd never been certain before. I'd never seen her when she was not grotesquely fat. In her own house, she's charming. Stone." "So that was the reason you went off with Susan Phelps and left me in the lurch?" he exclaimed petulantly. "That was a moan trick, when you knew I wanted to talk to you." "How was I to know that?" Smif asked, annoyed at his unreasonable- • ess. "You never even looked at ne all evening." "And a good reason I had for that," Stone declared. "It made nie perfectly furious to s*»e you sitting there wishing me on Mercy." "Wishing you on Mercy!" Smlf echoed his words helplessly. "Honestly, Stone, r don't know what you mean." . "I mean I'm In love with you. Madly, foolishly, insanely In love with you. So much In love that I'm afraid to look at you in public for fear I'll muriler any puppy who happens to be talking to you. Don't you know you are a dream come .true? Even as a child, I told my mother I meant to marry the girl in the miniature." His eyes held hers,. He was bending nearer and nearer. The effect was hypnot ic. With an effort Smif wrenched her gaze away. "The very first day I saw you it was all I could do to leave without telling you--" Mercy.--She must think of Mercy. --She had promised to help her-- and maybe Mercy was a prey to the feelings that were tearing at her now. To save herself, since she dared not meet his eyes, she fixed her attention on his mouth. That had been the feature she had held in doubt when first she saw him. Tender, sweet--why had she ever questioned it? And then it smiled and Mercy was forgotten. "Oh, St&ne," she cried softly, "I never knew I liked your mouth before-- but I love it." "I'm glad, rm glad you do," he murmured, as it sought hers. And as their lips met passion leaped like an electric spark from the one to the other. It it had been unrecognized before, even Smlf was •ware of it now. For a space time, as far as these two were concerned, stood atJlL Then Smlf resolutely drew away from his emorace. Stone, exulting In his hour of triumph, sought to take her In Ms arms again, but this time she rtriited. 1 cant-- we mustn't. Don't you see? It wouldn't be honorable. Mercy paid me to help her to marry you. How can I go to her and tell her I'm going to marry you myself instead ?" "We'll refund her money," Stone said, lazily content to wait for what he now knew was his. "Even you eouldn't force me to marry that piece of perfection. And you don't have to tell her anything. I'd \ove to do It Hasn't she made me go in fear of captivity for years? I'll call her on the telephone and tell her we're going to be married. When are we going to be married, dearest? Tomorrow?" "Oh, I don't know," Smlf cried distractedly. "I've always been such a success In managing other people's affairs while I seem to be an awful fool about my own." "Let's make It tomorrow, then," Stone said, taking up the telephone. "After that I'll manage your affairs for you. Illng three an this line, please?" "Stone! Do you mean to say you have a party line? No wonder Miss Mercedes knew I your plans--" "Hello! Is that you. Septimus?! Tell Miss Mercedes I'd like to s|>oak to her. Yes, it's Mr. Neshit." ... "Don't say tomorrow. Stone. I'll have to bring my sisters here--and Cousin Mali nuist be told--" "She knows already."' Stone interjected. "Ixi. Mercy. Just wanted to make an announcement to you. You won't be surprised. You're such a clever- girl--" he grinned impishly at Smif and went on : "I'm engaged to Miss Lovely. . . . Yes, we re go- .ing to be married very soon.' . . . Thanks awf'ily. I'll tell Smif that ,. . . Yes, thanks again." . . . Yonlfg going to t?fke Gregory's tip? Hi« mint a love affair, only she had not meant that to apply to her own romance. "I'm still not altogether happy about your neighbor." She nodded her head In the general direction of Itock moss. "You may be," Stone assured her. "You see, Mftdame Saltou, there's something I scarcely dare confess to you. You really are getting a leftover. I'm a Jilted man. Mercy fell so In love with her own loveliness that she felt it should not be wasted on a mere country squire in 'ole Virginny.' She's out for a title, and Greg, who's-a good, chap with a sense of humor and a lot of family feeling, lias steered her up against one of his own relatives who will present her to the queen and the other assembled aristocrats and who Is In need of the ready. That's what we were conspiring about at dinner last night." "When I was so unhappy," Smlf said. "I guessed that was what was the matter this morning." Stone cried triumphantly, "when Kve warned nie that something was wrong and that I'd better stay at home and comfort you--" Just then t^o tho^hto struck Smif so simultaneously that she could scarcely say which was first. Stone must never know of her disappointment or her hurt at' her brother s broken faith. And was there any chance that she was wrong in her supposition that he was the buyer of Lovely lea? The mere thought set her treuitiling. She must .'know and at once. She was in a panic at the possibility of this upsetting, at such a moment, of liter loiig-Hierisbed plans. "There's only oiie thing needed now to make me quite content--" she began. "And mat?" Stone asked. 'That Hill-Uee should sell, tis l.oyelylea." •i.y Jove, haven't I told you? When that was: my secret !'*. stone exclaimi'd. "I wrote Kill-Lee'that I .'wanted to give it to you for a wedding present--" "Wasn't that rather taking, ihiriga for.^ruiU.ed?" Smif inquired timidly. Chairman of the Board of Supervisors ^ * •£ f "I Mean I'lm ln Love With You. Madly, Foolishly, insanely fa Love ' with You." •. •; .-T is positively authentic and able to Introduce you anywhere. Will send him over to glVe you all the details." He hung up agi^in, grinning compapionably at Smif. "Just as easy as that She knew it all the time, she says." "Seemingly everybody knew It except me," Smlf smiled back, thinking how young and handsome and gay he was. Happiness was already making a new man of him. "I don't understand why nobody took me into the secret. I suppose Pam knew it, and Susan and Eve--" "Not Pam," he answered quite seriously, "she is too busy with her own affairs; but Susan of course-- and I dont see anyone keeping anything from Eve--" What did it matter? Smlf asked herself. She had always said it was easier to hide a conflagration than "No," Stone wagged his head solemnly. "I didn't tell him you were going to marry me. It might have been some other fellow. It was plain they'd be after you in swarms before long. Just cast your eye back to that fool Blanton. Anyhow, I asked your brother to keep it a dead secret, because I wanted to surprise you." . i Smifs cup of happiness was now running over. Bill-Lee wasn't a cad and a cheat and ungrateful. She looked back at her lover with shining eyes. He would never know what a wedding present he was glvln her. The dogs rose and stretched. Then seeing the tableau, stood on their hind legs and pawed jea lowly at their master and mistress. [TH£ BIND.] AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE McHENRY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS After having thoroughly and carefully weighed the relative qualifications, as to the training, ability and fitness of the Republican candidates for the office of County Clerkl it is. my honest and sincere belief that Harry F. Peteit, present county treasurer, will more ably and efficiently serve the taxpayers of McHenry county. Through his many years of experience, he has excellently prepared himself for such a position. Fortifying himself with a business education, he has been . content to start at the bottom, gaining a thorough knowledge of business methods. As deputy county treasurer, he further qualified himself for the responsible position of county treasurer which is closely : allied with the duties of the county cleric. An endorsement of an individual may be made in all sincerity at a time when there is no question of a comparison of his ability with that of another. Last fall, when I recommended the present county clerk, no other candidate had announced for this office. However, when this question does arise, naturally I would select the one whom I believeyerifly meets the demands of this office. For these reasons, relying upon my years of experience as a membet of the County Board of Supervisors and wilh the best interest of >the taxpayers in mind, I endorse the candidacy of Harry F. Peteit for jffioe of County Clerk. - » J. E. HARRISON • Chairman McHenry County Board of Supervisors. V,vV;- J" - • ' / J:. . '** \ Sheriff 100 PERCENT INDEPENDENT At the last -minute, il soften wours that rumors lure started suggesting tie-ups and hookups. I want to assure all my friends that if such rumor is or has beeii started about me, it is absolutely without foundation. I am running without tieing up with any individual, ring or clique of any kind. I always have been absolutely independent. AN HONORABLE CAMPAIGN Four years ago I was a candidate for sheriff and at that time I lost by a small margin. My campaign of four years ago was conducted in an honorable way. I am proud to state that as this campaign draws to a close, I have at no time done or said anything which would reflect on any of my opponents. It is my desire to " sell" myself rather than cast reflection on my opi>onents. AN iFFICIEftT OFFICER Although it is rather difficult to tell of one's own record, whether good or bad, 1 have been able to hold the post of Chief of Police of Marengo for 12 years and have the endorsement of tlie.-Marengn>r0!tjr; $his re-' cord speaks for itself. ^ v CAMPAIGN FINANCED BY FRIENDS Many candidates have said that friends paid for a certain advertisement but my entire campaign costs have been shared bv my friends and Marengo business meih For that reason my advertising has been limited. MY PLATFORM Honest, fearless performance of duties^ no favors to anyone but justice to all. Economy in the operation of the sheriff's office. Deputies to be chosen from the communities in which they serve, with every community, including Woodstock, getting its full share. The performance of my duties to the best of my ability.
