M03HER, Editor and Manager DON NIBBlllNfEMMPflJCN fOR SHERIFF ON RECORD OF OFFICE The Ground Hog I a I "io-tiO-oooo 1 | When Sheriff Lester Edinger entered on the duties of that office a little over three years ago he selected as his chief deputy Don Hibbard, then employed with Buell & Omstead ih the feed business in Woodstock. The office of chief deputy is one of great importance, because while the great responsibility for the proper conduct of the office rests with the sheriff himself, he can only be successful in jperforming well his duties, if he is .surrounded by tnen of loyality 'who are themselves willing to carry a proper share of the responsibilities which primarily rest upon their superior officer. While the office of chief deputy is one of importance and responsibility, the emoluments of the office are very meager. The job carries with it a very small, salary, not more than an active man can earn in almost any other employment. Three Years As Deputy Mr. Hibbard has served over three years and we believe has earned a promotion, which he seeks in entering the campaign Tor the Republican nomination for sheriff at the primaries in April. The office of sheriff has always been an important one and in McHenry county has been filled by a long line of capable servants. By a peculiar provision in the Illinois constitution a sheriff cannot succeed himself directly from one term into another in that office. Thus Sheriff Edinger, no matter how well he has performed the duties of his office and how much the people would like to retain his services, cannot succeed himself and he has already announced to his friends that he will seek the office of county treasurer instead. Mr. Hibbard enters the race for sheriff on the record he has made as chief deputy. It is a laudable ambition to seek promotion aftejr a man has proven his worth and filjness, and we believe the people of SMcHenry j county approve of the record which] the chief deputy has made sand will j give him loyal support irt the coming | p r i m a r i e s . " ' . . . \ Grandfather Prominent Farmer | Mr. Hibbard is a grandson of the j late John L. Hibbard for many years, a generation and more a prominent' citizen of Woodstock, and previous to that a well known and successful j farmer in Greenwood township, where he was a leader in the social and J political life of that community. At one time Mr. Hibbard was a candidate for county treasurer, backed by the Republicans of Greenwood. Although not successful at that time he was held in high esteem by everyone who knew him. The grandson and present candidate for sheriff wa% born at Elgin. As a young man before the World War he spent a number of years in the West, living like Col. Roosevelt the life of a Rough Rider and cowboy. Coming back to McHenry county he served with credit in the World War and upon his return from the service entered employment in Woodstock until his appointment by Sheriff Edinger as chief deputy. It is reported that Cyrus Sanford of Woodstock has also entered the race. Mr. Sanford has a splendid war record and is well thought of in his home community. He is an employee of the Woodstock Typewriter Co. Two other candidates who have signified their desire for the nomination DlDNr 3ACt<- „ (CttrW*. w. N. o.t recently by Edward W.

Together with James Floda of Algonquin they were confined to the county jail Friday afternoon, Jan. 22, being unable to furnish $5000 bail each. They are charged with attempted robbery of the John Hertz residence near Gary the night of December 1. Since the attempted robbery, detectives from Chicago have been on the job trying to locate the bandits. Fred Wolck of Crystal Lake, who was painting a switchboard at the sub-station of the Public Service Company recently was severely burned about the face and on the left arm when the brush J>e was using came in contact with'two points on a Heavy circuit creating a short circuit of about 2300 volts. The current did not pass throught any part of Mr. Wolck's body but the "short' throught the wet paint brush created . a flash of fire which burned him Severely. Edwin Rowley was elected presi- * dent of the Crystal Lake local of the Milk Producers' association at a meeting held Saturday night at the city hall. Fay McKenzie was named secretary- treasurer. Dividends for stockholders in the Fox River Grove Lumber Company increased 10 per cent according to a report of the auditor. The business done during the last year was « larger than the previous period. The - company has built additional sheds f©r lumber and a cistern that holds approximately 1000 gallons of water. This is for use in case of fire. Now that is has been decided to play the Army-Navy football game at Chicago next fall, influential Chicagoans having homes at Lake Geneva are laying plans to locate the summer White House on the shores of the lake. The Otto Young estate is owned by the Countess de Korwin, a daughter of a Chicago jeweler, Who has not visited her estate since the war. The house is said to have cost a million dollars when it was built in 1900, and is suggested as a possible place. The Lake Zurich Chamber of Commerce is diligently working on plans for the financing of a community hall to cost approximately $40,000. The building, as planned, will have two stories and a basement. The lower floor and basement will provide space for several business places, rhe upper floor is to be used for lodge halls, offices, etc., according to the plans. About forty-five members of the Antioch Business Club held a meeting on Monday of last week for the purpose of seeing what can be done to get two or three factories to start up in that place. Theodore Blach 6f the Public Service Company was speaker of the evening. Alfred Bennorth of Elgin, a worker in the National Watch factory for thirty-five years, died suddenly last Wednesday afternoon in the entrance to the Charles Shoemaker Company. Death was caused by apoplexy or cerebral hemmorhage, according to Dr. Howard Knight, who was summoned. Otto Johson, 51, ex-convict and past master at house-breaking, and under suspicion as the triple-murderer of the Henry Jeske family of Batavia, was probably fatally shot by Joliet police recently. Johnson attempted to shoot it out with the police when they sought to question him with regard to several burglaries which have taken place in Joliet in the last month. The winter sport season on Lake Geneva was auspiciously opened last week-end, when thousands came to enjoy the second annual ice carnival and participate in a varied program of winter sports.

You have 8 hours' recreation each day, also making 122 days, leaving 121 days. There are 52 Sundays that you don't work, leaving a balance of 69 days.

Jensen, sub-divider and owner of the former Uihlein estate at Lake Geneva, has purchased 434 acres of the Leiter estate owned by the Big Foot County Club.

After trying on several occasions to purchase the Frank Dyer farm in Libertyville, the Lake County Land Association, the Samuel Insall organization recently learned that the property had been sold at an enormous figure. The farm, consisting of 75 acres, brought $1500 an acre, and a total of $112,500 and was purchased by Attorney Ben H. Miller and O. A. Newson, both of Libertyville. Twenty-five Woodstock high school boys began an experimeht in studying by courses for this semester in the high school last week. Superintendent Willis Thomson and Principal E. C. Beatty are watching the experiment in the belief that it may point a new studying system. The plan is to take one subject alone for five weeks at a time. The boys have started on Algebra and will stay on that subject for the next five weeks. Thieves visited the John Getzelman farm near Hampshire, 111., recently and loaded 24 sheep into a motor truck and drove away. McHenry county farmers are availing .themselves of an opportunity to rid their premises of rats which are very numerous at this season of the year. Fumigation with calcium cyanide is sure death to the vermin. Five hundred and thirty-three acres of farm property in the Barrington community changed hands the past | week through one local real estate j firm in that place. Lloyd Bareman I of Evanston was the purchaser of a large part of this acreage. The balance was sold to A. L.

Bolger DRUGGIST Some day when my bank roll and my skin have grown a little thicker I intend to run for congress cm a platform of anti-bunk. I expect to be elected by the votes of women rather than men--since men have shown unmistakably that they like bunk and will nearly always fall for it. I shall conduct my campaign en tirely through the advertising col umns of the newspapers. . Some morning the residents of Illinois will awake to find a full-page advertisement reading somewhat like this: The proper thing to say in announc ing yourself for political office is that "many citizens have urged" you to make the sacrifice, or your "friends have persuaded" you that it is your duty. No citizens or friends have urged me. I am going to run for congress because I think I would like to be in congress. My platform will be Down With Dunk. If you think that you will not have to work just as hard to make a liv ing after my election, do not vote for me. My election won't put a nickel in your pockets. If you think we ought to have new postoffice in our district, don vote for me. The old postoffice is good enough and I won't try to get a new one. Because the only way I can get you a new postoffice--which we don't need--is by voting to help five hundred other congressmen get new postoffices for their districts---which they don't need. The only way the United States gets any money is by taking it away from the taxpayers. That means taking it away from you. We will never reduce the cost of living in this country until we cease to regard the government as a ,rrabbag. If I am elected I will work sixteen hours a day for the United States just as I have worked sixteen hours a day in my own business. But it will be for the United States. $ot to flatter you, or make you think you are going to get something which you won't get. I will kiss no babies. I will attend no public dinners. I will send out no free turnip seeds. I will deliver no speeches just to have them reprinted and mailed at the public expense so as to make you think that I am a great man. •MM**" Vol 1 Feb. 4, 1926 .No. IT Published in the interests of the people of McHenry and vicinity by the Alexander Lumber Co.

ALEXANDER LUMBER COMPANY Phone 5 AN AD IN THE PLAINDEALER EVERY WEEK WILL BRING RESULlf A hobo and a plutocrat were ship wrecked on an isle. The one was once a starving brat, the other raised in style. Back home the rich man had his slaves to heed his fcieck and call. ""The hobo tramped with roving knaves. His body was his all. To plutocrats, he was unknown, except to hold to scorn, who stole his clothes and gnawed a bone,whose plight was most forlorn. So on this tropic isle that day, the plute turned up his nose, the while the hobo garnered hay to ease his night's repose. Next morn the hobo started out to fix himself a shack. He snared a rabbit, caught some trout, his world then knew no lack. At last' the plute, quite stiff and sore, whose hunger made him groan, came crawling to the hobo's door and begged him for a bone. In after years they met once more, telling their adventures o'er, the plute said, "Pete, old boy, the world was made for you and me, and equal we were born, no path of man, whate'er it be is worthy of my scorn.? • A young woman of Crystal Lake and her little daughter sat in a Northwestern train. Opposite them was a man who was fond of children and he looked across at the little one and winked. She smiled back and tried to imitate him, but only succeeded in squinting with both eyes.
