Faure "Ittfftol* Clayton and her two daughters, Janis and Sally, are th$ haziest family in the suburb of Westh&vens, Janis happy because of a natural smiling disposition with the added contentment of the love of Bud Morgan, a young mechanic, and because of the progress she is making in her position"as model and salesgirl in a smart dressmaking, establishment. Sally's happiness is also based upon love for her employer, Steven Saunders, general manager of the Ocean Steamship Co., whom ehe expects to wed. Sally spends a Sunday with Saunders at his ocean side bungalow. A storm holds thefti there for the night. She returns home in the morning distraught from the night's . happenings, but solaced somewhat that her marriage to Saunders will occur within a few months. But Saunders seises the opportunity of marrying the daughter of the president of the Steamship Co. On the day of the wedding Sally is found dead from poison. "Mother" Clayton survives her but a week. Janis holds Saunders responsible for the suffering and death of her two loved ones as well as her own Sorrow. She dedicates herself to revenge. Bud's pleadings for marriage are met with the answer, "Not until the slayer of my sister and mother has suffered the tortures he deserves." Mrs. Saunders is a patron of the shop in which Janis is employed. Janis cultivates her until Mrs. Saunders will have no one but her bring gowns to her home. A chance meeting with Saunders there gives her the opportunity of seeking work in his office and her pretty face makes him answer affirmatively. Diligence carries her to the position of private secretary to him. Her chance f or revenge comes | three years after her sister's: death. Mrs. Saunders and their two year old son, whom Saunders idolises, have gone abroad. Saunders gives his fascination for Janis full sway and showers her with attentions and invitations. Morgan cannot believe she is but playing with him and breaks with her. She accepts an invitation to dine with Saunders alone at his home. When the dinner is almost completed Janis leaps to her feet, rips her clothing, dishevels her hair. Then her petit up .hatred bursts forth. ... She intends to ruin him socially and possibly financially because of his father-in-law and declares that be has attacked her while they were at dinner\ Sabnderfe, half drunk, realises her a newsboy's voice from the street an bounces the sinking of the S. S. Dorian with all on board. The Dorian is the crack liner of Saunders' company and has taken a dangerous' route to establish a speed record--and his wife and son were, returning home An it. Saunders is erased and turns on Janis as the cause of his woes. Janis is almost exhausted in eluding him when a shot sounds outside the door, a crash of glass and Saunders receives a death wound. A Bohemian Artist, whose wife and baby have been on the Dorian, has taken direct and summary vengeance on the man responsible for the disaster. Janis is % lonesome outcast. She finally finds refuge in the home of a clergyman, who gives her a home and soon learns her story and divines her great love for Morgan, which had been overshadowed by the lo^s of her sister and mother. Then on Christmas eve arrives the one present that could bring Janis happiness--Bud Morgan. Notice of Publkatiojj in Attachment State of Illinois, )• ' " - ,{ / * McHenry County,)ssi "• £ vv.." \!C.'

We recommend Kaynee blouses because of their wear and materials and the guaranteed fast colors. A large tear resisting M'Henry Illinois that if wastes, leaks and losses are to be stopped, trained, efficient, experienced men must be brought into the management of this company. Several months ago a resolution was passed f>y the board of directors to divide the business of the company in{p departments with a trained, efficient, capable npn at the head of jeach department. It is expected that the new executive committee will now carry that policy into effect and that the following departments will be created: "Sales Department," "Operating Department," "Purchasing Department," Accounting" aftd Book keeping Department," and that a competent, trained, efficient man, who has had aetua| experience along the lines* of the wofk he is intended to supervise, will be placed at the head of each one of these departments and that over them will be placed a general manager of the highest ability and iattainments. Naturally, as most good men are already employed, it is going to take from thirty to sixty days to secure these men and actually get them on the job. Apother important move which has been made is the creation of an organization department, with A. C. Stoxen as director of organization and publicity. In this department a bureau of publicity will be created. A mailing list of each member of the Marketing company is to be compiled and from time to time all members will receive a bulletin giving them full information in regard, not only to what is being done but the different problems that the company has to confront. This will be welcome news to the members who believe that the policy of secrecy maintained in the past, relative to the company's affairs and doings, was the wrong policy Henceforth all reasonable publicity, thru the medium of. newspaper articles, bulletins, meetings and field workers, will be given to the members of this organization. The new executive committee firmly believes that the time has been reached in the affairs of the companjF when its business affairs ought to be operated and handled upon a strictly business basis; as a business corporation. Consequently, it is their announced policy that in selecting men for the positions in the business organization they shall look solely and only to the qualifications of the person for the particular position that he is desired to fill rather than upon any friendship, past or present affiliations that he may have had \prilh this organ- . ization. To put it bluntly, it is the intention of the executive committee to thoroly reorganize and. place the Marketing company upon a firm business foundation with all politics cut out, and in this laudable desire and intention the executive committee should have the support of all the loyal members of this organization. A real, comprehensive business program is going to be worked out. There is a brighter day dawning for the Marketing company. ADDITIONAL PERSONAL i Misses Leone and Kathleen Givens passed a day last week with relatives at Ingleside. Mr. and (Mrs. Louis Rennwald of Chicago are spending the week in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Oertel. Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Carney and children of Chicago were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. F.#E. Cobb. Mrs. Mike Joyce and children Chicago are spending « few weeks' in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J> Walsh. Mrs. Ed. Sutton and childreg^and Mrs. Walter Warner and children were guests Of Woodstock relatives" yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen H. Heimer and daughter, Helen, of Kenosha, Wis. paused Sunday as the guests of relatives here. J. H. Miller, local monument dealer, is this week attending a monument dealers' convention in session at St. Paul, Minn. Mr. and Mrs. John Aylward and nephew, FlOyd Aylward; Mr. and Mrs. David McCarthy and Miss Minnie Conway of Elgin were week end guests of McHenry relatives. . :p«.> • y two hundred students from Ihe rural schools of the county will present themselves at the circuit court room at Woodstock on W«tnMfri>y; Aug. 24, for their proitMfliMlili Certificates to high school. The progeate is Jield only in the forenoon that all may be given an opportunity to spend the afternoon, at the gfsst McHenry county fair. Shortly before the certificates are awarded the winners of the township spelling contests will compete for the championship honors of the county. There are three students eligible from each township, the winners of the township spelling contests. Ten years ago there Were but eighty-four students who had completed the work of the gradeg. This number has increased more than one hundred per cent from the rural schools and with the increase from the city and village schools there are some five hundred ready to enter high school. Because of this great increase into the high schools community high school districts were formed to accommodate these high school students, which numbered last year approximately one thousand. Four high schools report that the entering class will exceed one hundred thi3 September. These young people from the rural and city schools must decide now between high school or business. They must decide between book learning and wage earning. Perhaps some feel like bolting high school for the fascination of money making. But the great majority has decided to go to high school to stay in high school and to finish high schooi. And just as they are now rejoicing that they have finished the first eight grades, four years later they will rejoice again at the comple tion of their high school work. The' various vocations that look so attractive to these young people will await them always, but the high school must be entered now or it is gone forever. The rapid growth in the enrollment of the high schools thruout the county in the past years demonstrate the high regard of these schools in the estimation of both parents and students. During th£ recent war, the value of both high school and college training was demonstrated time and again. In the times to follow, it is safe to say that such training Will never come amiss. ? The meeting of the rural teachers will be held Saturday, Aug. 27. Numerous objections have been made to the holding of the teachers' meeting during the fair and this year the new date will be tried. At this meeting the supplies for the year will be given to each teacher and an outline of the work presented. The presence of each teacher is expected. The program will begin at 2:00 p. m. in the circuit court room at Woodstock. Mrs. Geo. Sterling and daughters, Rosemary and Helen, of Chicago spent last week as guests in the homes of Jay and Wm.
