One man with one tractor does all field work from plowing to harvest --Wash Tubs vs. Gold Dollars--] This is the year of years to put in a full acreage, and courageous business farmers are getting their "wash tubs" out of doors despite difficulties, all ready for the* rain of "gold dollars" that is just ahead of them. A factory overcomes labor shortage by using machines that do the work of a number of men. They often pay very high prices for such machines, but it pays them in labor savings. The labor shortage never was so great as right now, but it need not affect you, if you use a Moline-Universal Tractor. ^ - - r"tpr-i ; V .

The unloading started shortly before six o'clock and by the time the cook wagon "had been unloaded and was on its way to the show grounds on the F. H. Wattles lot on Center street a goodly sized crowd of youngsters as well as many older folks were on .the scene to watch the unloading. .Before nine o'clock the property had all been transferred from the cars to the show grounds, where the tented city went up as if by magic. All day Suhday as Well as Monday forenoon there was a continual stream of the more curious making trips to and from the grounds. On Monday morning the kids were all on hand bright and early eager at an opportunity to do something that would entitle them to a free pass to the big attraction. The big parade, one of the best ever seen in, McHenry, left the show grounds promptly at the noon hour ind was witnessed by quite a large crowd, altho most of the out-of-town oeople who saw the afternoon's performance did not arrive until after the street spectacle was over. A reporter for The Paindealer visited the show grounds between one and two o'clock and, while it»looked to us as if the afternoon crowd was as largo as could be expected for our community, the ticket takers at the main entrance expressed dissatisfaction. On entering the "big top" we found about half of the seats occupied, but this we considered a big crowd I for McHenry, as the seating capacity, 5 the publicity director inferred, is about 4,000. Evidently taking the matinee crowd as a criterion for the evening performance, all of the east section of reserved seats was removed after the close of the matinee. The night crowd, however, must have been a revelation to the circus management, as every available seat under the "big top" was occupied, while quite a number occupied standing room. The evening crowd surpassed that which saw the Sparks circus here a few years ago. Like other enterprises of the kind, the circus carried an unusually large midway and from what we were able to learn there was nothing offensive to be found there. Each and every act of the big show was clean and entertaining and both the afternoon and evening crowds were well pleased with what they saw. Thus once more McHenry has made good her reputation of being the best show town of its size in the country. Monday was circus day ip McHenry, tile Walter L. Main shows giving two performances here on that day. The train of eighteen cars arrivedlthe building to the rear of the lot and salist church has been commenced and is progressing favorably. When completed it will be the finest arranged church edifice in this section. Mrs. Spnulding and daughter, having purchased the lot and building lately owed by Dr. Chitds in West McHenry, have commenced moving STATE VETERINARIANS WUl Co-Operate With Illinois Agricultural Association Hoc raisers of McHenry county will be interested in definite action taken at the summer meeting of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical association at Champaign July 8 and 9, where the following proposed: The veterinarian shall, when requested, state the particular kind and brand of serum and virus used and the serial and license number of each and their net cost to him. This statement may be rendered on a uniform blank agreed upon by a joint committee of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical association at an early date. Members from this county are: Dr. Jamee J. Ash, Richmond; Dr. M. D. Brooks, Hebron; Dr. Fred F. Bushnell, Harvard; Dr. W. W. Lichty, Woodstock; Dr. C. L. Passmore, Huntley; Dr. Ben W. Wilson, Woodstock, and Dr. J. C. Wingert, Marengo. The livestock marketing committee of the Illinois Agricultural association, at a meeting at Bloomington, July 12, agreed to. recommend to the executive committee of the I. A. A. the adoption of the proposition agreed to by the veterinary association. H. W. Mumford, director of the livestock marketing department of the I. A. A., believes that this arrangement will insure a better understanding between the farmer and his veterinarian, inspire greater confidence between them and at the same time insure the breeder against the occasional veterinarian who is inclined to over charge for both serum and profes sional services. ^ QUARTER OP A CENTURY Items Clipped From The Plaindealer of Twenty-five Tears Ago Capt. Walter Hill, formerly of this village passed suddenly away at his home in Chicago on Monday. The teachers of our public school are in attendance at the teachers' in stitute at Woodstock this week. The festival and sunbonnet drill in the park on Thursday evening last was a grand success, financially and otherwise. About seventy-five couples attended the bowery dance on the West Side on Friday evening of last week and all report a good time Two weeks from next Tuesday is the opening day of the great McHenry county fair and judging from present indications it will be a grand succesa in every particular. k«f will immediately put up a handsome two story store, with living rooms in the rear. The biggest sell in the shape of a circus that has visited this place for many a day pitched their tent here on Saturday. But few knew they were coming and none wore sorry when they went away. But few got sold, as their crowd was notably small both afternoon and evening. McHenry can now boast of one of the best bands in McHenry or Lake counties. The McHenry Military band, under the leadership of Cal Curtis, has been progressing finely during the spring and summer and are now able to furnish music second to none. There has also been a new band organized on the West Side, which promises with practice, to be a strong riVal for musical honors. Some Crowd "Where did they all come from" was an expression heard around the circus grounds last Monday evening. Every available parking place within four blocks of the grounds was occupied by automobiles, while scores of cars were also left in the West Side business section. The crowd was estimated to have been the largest that has gathered in the village on a single night in years. In spite of the hundreds of cars and the narrowness of our streets not a single accident was reported. Will Build Rectory The parish house building committee of St. Mary's church motored to Rockford on a recent day, where they held a meeting with the Rt. Rev. bishop. It was decided there to go fchead and not lose any more time. The committee is in. favor of erecting 8 substantial parish house and agreed jvith the bishop to make the parish lesidence as near fire proof as possible. - J. A. Thennes, Sec'y. The Big Dance Next Saturday night, Aug. 7, is the date for the holding of the season's biggest and best dance at "Stubby's" I lace, Johnsburg. Goetz's jazz orchestra of Chicago will be the attraction and the management is looking forward to the biggest crowd that has attended a dance at the place in years.
