We understand that this was not a success financially, I l>ut that at the finish there was about ] $130 in the hands of the treasurer. We understand this $130 is still in the | hands of the treasurer and that nothing has been done with it and that I there is no intention of doing anything -with it. Whether from lack of interest or the want of an objective no action has been taken. Surely semebody or something must claim this | large amount of money sometime. We understand that at the present] time a petition is being circulated among the citizens of McHenry, Nasking that this amount be turned over to the American Legion for the purpose of buying a ^library. Will this petition be successful and will the exsoldiers of this town derive the benefit of the $130 and the library which | it will provide? It will be interesting to see how this subject will turn I out. If any of the readers of this paper have any suggestions to make as to how they think this money should be spent kindly send them to | the undersigned. A Legionnaire, . Care of The PlaindewMr. '• Man's Prayer Teach me that 60 minutes make an hour, 16 ounces one pound ahd 100 cents one dollar. Help me so to live that I can lie down At night with a dear conscience, without a gun under my pillow and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. Grant that I may earn my meal ticket on the square and that in earning it I may do unto others as I would have them do unto me. Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and to the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but re> veal to me my own. Guide me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been » blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal. Keep me young enough to laugh with little Children and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age. vAnd when comes the day of darkened shades and the smell of flowers, the tread of soft foot steps and the crunching of wheels in the yard, make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple--'Here Lies a •iMan.' " Happy and Healthy New Year wishes to one and all. Rosedale Greenhouse.
