Why then bny an inferior Paint just because it costs a few cents per gallon less than a well known first-class brand? That is folly, for a cheap paint is made of poor material and seldom lasts more than a year or two, whereas a good one should wear for five years at least. Onr Crown Cotta-ge Colors will not chalk peel or scale and in covering capacity and durability is superior to the majority of Paints made including White Lead and Oil. Considering these facts, why not buy the best and save money.

Schoonmaker of The McHenry Plaindealer, was a welcome caller Sat­ urday. . Mesdames Hopper and Moss and Miss Gracie Hopper attended the Decoration services at Ringwood. The Township Graduation Exercises held Friday.evening were well attended, the church being crowded to its utmost capacity. The church had been beauti­ fully decorated by pupils, the class colore of dark bine and white being u^ed in bunting with an abundance of flowers. A number from Mr. French's school, who were to take part, were prevented on account of sickness, but those who did take part did finely, a recitation by Ruth Jackson deserving special mention The recitations given by Agnes Chris- tensen and Richard Richardson of the English Prairie school could not have been better delivered, each being es pecially good. The Amazon drill by twelve girls, the solo bv Belle Neish and the essay on "The Advantage derived from the Rnral Free Delivery" by Grace Hopper, all of Spring Grove school, were received with the greatest favor. The Floral Drill by pupils of the prim­ ary room and Mother Play-Five Knights were nicely given and a recitation by Glen Esh well received. While all did so well it is plainly shown that there has been hard study and ambition on thf part of the pupils with the most careful work and training from the teachers during the whole school year. The de­ bate created much interest, both partic­ ipants showing that they had devoted considerable time and thought to the subjects given. The prize, a beautiful military set, was awarded to the holder of the affirmative side, Ray Moss, while a beautiful boquet of roses was present­ ed to Master George Richardson. Supt. Conn gave a stirring talk on "The Problems of Today," and we wish we could have the pleasure of listening to him often. Mr. Orvis and Mr. French retain their respective schools. Miss Sanborn will teach in the third room in the McHenry school and Mr. Truax will go to DeKalb to finish his course there. The pupils and patrons part from them with the deepest regret, be­ lieving that they have faithfully served the best interest of the school, and that while it seems impossible at the present time that their places could be as well filled, we wish them unbounded success and prosperity in their present plans. Cm ui ni u u I cated. Editor Plaindealer:- As, at the Town­ ship Graduation exercises, Prof. Conn erave us such a splendid addrees^on "The Problems of Today" and presented such problems in a way that they might be pondered over with much benefit, an­ other problem, to our community, might well be thought of, as it has this year, as well as others, been a jarring element and discord in the harmony thaCahould be preserved in every school. This discord, shown only too clearly on so many occasions, is no more nor less than parental interference with the best good of the child, resulting from unjust and unfounded antagonism toward the teachers. While such influence carries little weight with people of soutH^ judg­ ment, yet some are swayed by fallacious reasoning and blame placed where it least belongs; but the greatest harm is done to the child itself, by the wrong home influence. Should a child be placed in a position where he was to learn a profession or trade under com­ petent instructors and the parent should continually interfere and endeavor to belittle the instructors in the child's estimation and deride methods they themselves were incompetent to judge .of, what would the result be and would the public be loug in deciding where the blame rests at the close of the time spent? Would it be with the instruct ore? No, a thousand times, no! every fair-minded person would sayA How, then, does it differ in the school^ The principle is the same, and the parent who does not uphold the work ok a teacher is not a true parent or citizeft. A teacher worthy of the name knows within a few days after the child's en­ trance to the school room whether the parental attitude to the school is right or wrong. As a matter of fact the teacher is obliged to use more charity, more forbearance, % and spend more thought over a child whose parents are habitually making a practice of dis­ agreeing with the teacher, than toward a score of children rightly influenced. The altruistic principles tfciat a true teacher must possess lift him above venting spite on a child already heavily handicapped, and in many cases charity prevents even a just punishment. Bnt how those parents can expert a child to accomplish much, or can fail to see the life L>ng injury they are inflicting on their own children, is, tho we hope not to remain, one of the problems of the day.

COOK BLADDKW TROUBLES Bladder troubles make life miserable fti those who suffer from them, and unleM they are promptly overooma they are oar- tain to cause serious conditions. Inflam­ mation of the bladder Is becoming man and more common and when neglected N develops ulceration and this may be fol­ lowed by perforation and death. The irri­ table condition that demands frequent evacuation during the night as well as day time, Is a source of great mortification and dlscomcomfort to eld and young. . Dr. Cook, of Chicago, an authority on kidney and bladder troubles, says: "It is Impossible to find a single ageiri that Is a speclflo for this class of troubles, because there are so many different struc­ tures Involved in the organs. However, we are able to combine the best known remedies and obtain most excellent re­ sults. The preparation known as Fot*T*t KIDKST CUM IS an Ideal combination. I use it exensively in my practice and Had It can be employed successfully In every form of kidney and bladder trouble." FOLEY'S KIDBT*T CDU IS an honest preparation. It is not a decootion of some hitherto unknown root or herb claimed to be a cure-all. Common sense tella na that such preparations have but little If any value. FOLEY'S KIDNKY CURB eon- tains all the best known agents used by kidney and bladder specialists combined In a manner that rendere them most ejfoe> tive and pleasant to take. In even the most hopeless cases its use gives relief and when taken In time cannot help but curs every form of kidney or bladder trouble G. W. BESLEY. West McHenry. Fancy Grocers.
