MHiNRY'S TAX RATE LOWERED •'•'k^V While many have been laboring HIP" der the impression that McHenry's tax rate for 1923 would be considerably higher than the year before, it will come as a very pleasant surprise to learn that the taxes payable this spring will be 7 cents lower than a year ago. MeHenry's tax, according to figures as compiled at the county seat show the 1923 rate to be $5.85 as against $5.92 for 1922. This means that every Ix C.

The -dinner was served in courses and was probably one of the finest banquets served at "the hotel tai a long time. At the conclusion of the dinner Wm. Pries, president of the bank, arose and in a few well chosen words greeted, tiie guests of the evejiii* and then introduced- the speaker, Atty. F. B. Bennett of "Woodstock. Mr. Bennett's talk consumed about an hour and a quarter and covered many phases of the banking business ^ j as well as took in matters of political history and conditions as they exist today and what we may naturally ex^ pect in the future. The speaker spent some little time in telling of the banking difficulties encountered thruout the agricultural districts of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa and how these same conditions are already beginning to affect every agricultural district in the union. Banks, he points out, should be so conducted as to enable them to meet just such emergencies and condi tions and by so doing be in a position to weathar all storms. In his discourse he touched upon matters pertaining to our national government, our politics and things which come up in every day life. Taking up our politics, he expressed himself of the belief that the time was coming when our two political paVties would be obliged to combine into one solid body in order that' this country might rid itself of the radicals who are becoming more and more pronounced. He also expressed himself as in favor of letting down the bars of our immigration and thus bring into this country the labor which is^so sadly needed, especially on our farms. However, it was the speaker's contention that this immigration should be of the very highest type and that, by no means, should the > Thru the efforts of a iwwber of enterprising citizens from this city, Johnsburg and other points, the roads connecting this city with neighboring radical class be allowed to enter upon towns are again open to travel. A number of men were out on Tuesday opening up the road between here and Volo as well as McHenry and Woodstock, while the Johnsburg-McHenry and McHenry-Crystal Lake roads have been open for several days. While some of thesfi' stretches are not open for auto travel, aleighs and other conveyances are able to get thru. Automobiles are now able to travel between this city and Johnsburg, Woodstock, Volo and Crystal Lake. It is expected that auto travel will also be restored between McHenry and Ringwood 'very shortly. ATTY. POUSE SECOND i TO FILE PETITION I % the first day of filing petitions by candidates who will aspire for offices at the coming April primaries. Atty. A. H. Pouse of this city was the second man to file with County Clerk Guy E. Still at Woodstock. The first petition to be opened was that of George L. Tryon, who is our shores The speaker's closing remarks were directed to the Fox River Valley State bank, to the men who have successfully carried the business of the institution oyer the crisis of a year ago and to the stockholders and directors who are now guiding the continued success of the institution. Atty. Bennett suggested that the Taank increase its present board of directors and he expressed the hope that this step would be taken without delay, Mr. Bennett's address was attentively listened to bV' thorite gathered about the banquet table and at its conclusion received a hearty applause from all Several of those gathered were then ealled upon for remarks, the first being Simon Stoffel, who was present at the banquet upon invitation of the officers of the bank. Mr. Stoffel is not only a stockholder, but an officer and a member of the board of directors of the West McHenry State bank and in calling upon him for a few remarks President Pries explained that during "THE GIRL WHO CAME BACK" AT EMPIRE THEATRE FRIDAY 1&I> SATURDAY NKHTB -? • • v.:- i £ An unsophisticated country' girl, unfortunate in her city associates-- such is Sheila Weston. When the two blase shop girls with whom she works and rooms take her to a dance hall one night, she is dazzled % the lights th€r jazz and the attentions of Ray Underbill. Ray works fast and soon he wins her consent to a justice of the peace wedding. Before they leave the justice's house after the oerem6ny, officers arrive and arrest them both as auto thieves. Say pleads Sheila's innocence, but she has been seen driving the car and the officers refuse to believe him. Each it sentenced to prison. " In jail Ray's cellr mate is "648," a trusty, and a man "framed" in a bogus trust company deal. "648" is the only man in prison to whom old "555," a lifer, ever speaks. For him the old- man has a strong affection and has made "648" his heir to Kimberley diamond claims, explaining everything to him in their infrequent talks. Sheila's release comes first and she goes to the jail on visitors' day to see Say. She is seen by Ramon Valhays, the man responsible for "648's" conviction. Valhays comes to see the trusty, but "648" refuses to see him. Guided by "555's" instructions Ray and "648" escape together and go to a house owned by "648," where they secure clothing. Ray discovers that his convict friend has money hidden in the house and takes a key to the front door with him when they separate. 1 Ray goes to Sheila's and is followed! by officers and captured. However:* he manages to give her the key to "648's" house with directions how to reach it. Alone, weary of the eternal grind, told by the landlady to move, under police surveillance, Sheila decides to take "the money and make a new start." In the house "648" catches her red-handed, but it is dark and during the struggle she escapes with the money without. being identified by him. Six years later, in Capetown, "648" has become a wealthy diamond mine owner, known as Norries. and Sheila a famous and popular beauty. She believes the report she has heard of Ray's death, so when she and Norries meet and fall in love she marries him. Then comes the time when Norris must return to America and repay the money to those whose trust he had apparently betrayed. Stifling her misgivings, Sheila accompanies him and his work is nearly completed, when Valhays calls on Sheila--with Ray. ; They try to blackmail her--«he fears Norris* discovery of her past* and, after writing him a confession, starts to run away. Valhays has anticipated this and intercept* her. Norris has found her letter and is reading it when he hears a scream. He rushes out and attacks Valhays, but the latter eludes him in the shrubbery.

Mrs. James Green told of h^r dealings with the institution and expressed herself as greatly pleased with the treatment that she has been receiving from the employes of the bank. "I have found them to be pleasant, courteous and accommodating,"- Mrs. Green told the assemblage. Her short but to the point remarks were heartily cheered. \ \ The "hemarks were fallowed by an hour of general visiting, which closed an evening of good eats, good fellowship and a general good time Atty. A. H. Pouse of this city, an ex-service man who had seen foreign service, introduced the speaker of the evening. Col. Clinnin, after explaining to his audience that he felt very much at home in McHenry county, due to the fact that he was born near Huntley, gave his listeners one of the most interesting talks of this kind ever heard in McHenry. It was plain to be seen from the very outset that the speaker was a well posted man and therefore backed his" address, at least the greater part of it, from experiences as gained while in the service of his country. The colonel explained that he had answered three calls to serve his country during the past quarter of a century. He first served during the Spanish-American war, then thpi the Mexican trouble and last, but not least, the took his audience over the history of this county right up to this very time. Told of problems which many of the foreign countries must solve before the world can be returned to a stage of normalcy and gaye a minute picture gained from personal observation of the future of those countries of Europe. His arguments were real, honest declarations of the conditions as they exist in Europe today. He pointed out the things now existing in those old countries which some day are almost certain to lead to more wars and unless these various differences are ironed out more trouble can be looked for. In turning to the adjusted compensation for ex-service men 4nd tax reduction, Col. Clinnin expressed himself of the belief that both of these bills could be put over and with little or no injury to the tax payer. He explained that the adjusted compensation bill was not originated by the ex-service men, but rather concocted by some of our Washington representatives who believed that some sort of recognition was due the Aen who served during the late World war. However, after the bill had passed both houses and was then vetoed by our late president, the exservice men did interest themselves in the bill and ever since have been doing everything within their means to see that the bill was passed. The colonel explained that the boys were not asking for a cash bonus nor were they asking for immediate compensation. All they were asking of the government was to grant them a paid-up life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000, giving each man who had served his country an estate. Col. Clinnin also explained that this will be the last effort on the part of the ex-service men to ask of the government this small favor and if it isn't granted the matter will be dropped for all time to come- As stated above, the audience was small last evening, and those who It is the intention of the officers of j missed hearing this speaker surely the bank to make the affair an annual j lost an opportunity of gaining most I IFNRTWLP^GFT LLF HL&NIR CO21-* 1TAVOR membership in this organization come at a time when misfortune has overcome the producer.
