"The man who gets angry about what a newspaper prints of himself should return thanks a dozen times each day for what a newspaper knows of him and suppresses. Anybody can find things to print in a newspaper, but it takes a wise newspaper to find things to keep out." All of which is very true. It is gener­ ally supposed that newspapers print everything they can find out that is any­ where near fit to print, but that is a mistaken idea. The average country newspaper refrains from publishing many things that might pass as news because it would reflect on the character or reputation of some individual, and indirectly on his family and the town. And this reminds us, and we presume other newspapers have noticed it. that if anything happens to get into the paper that does not please some sub­ scriber--and we have known of such cases where the offended person bas not and never had been a subscriber--it does not take long for the person to let the editor know all about it. On the other hand, a newspaper may say ell kinds of good things about this same person and throw bouquets promiscuously at others, yet not once in a hundred times will the compliment be noticed or the editor. This goes to show what people take too much as a matter of course. A news­ paper is expected to speak well of every­ body, boom the town and do a lot of hard work for "the good of the cause," for it coats nothing to run a newspaper so too many seem to think. It is for­ tunate that most publishers are publiv spirited citizens. They do mnch with­ out hope of reward on earth, contented if they see good accomplished thru their efforts.

The meetings of the various local organizations of the teachers of the county will be made very practical. Sections one, two, three and four will meet at the following places respective­ ly: Richmond, Sept. 18; Crystal Lake, Sept. 25; Marengo, Oct. 2, and Harvard, Oct. 16. Good speakers will be present at each meeting. Supt. Dunbar of Richmond will have charge of the meet­ ing to be held at Richmond on next Saturday. This is the first of the series and every effort is being made to hold an enthusiastic and helpful, meeting. Let every teacher be present. The farmers' club in the town of Ritey will hold a meeting at the church in Riley Center on Friday, Sept. 17. The officers are bending every effort toward making this meeting a grand success. Speakers from abroad will be secured. At least one man from the state agri­ cultural colleges will be present. The officers of this association are deserving of much credit for the spirit that they have manifested in developing this thriving association. A similar associa­ tion in each town of this county would be of incalculable value to the social and industrial life of McHenry county. The country teachers should pay a due regard to the seasons in their work in agriculture. .During the fall term is an excellent time to teach the pupils how to judge corn and handle the score card. This would be excellent prepara­ tion for the annual corn exhibit to be held in the office of the county superin­ tendent during the second week in November. The teachers can make their work of great worth to the farm­ ers in their district by emphasizing this kind of work. Hold a corn carnival the first Friday in November. Invite all the patrons to come and make the corn contest the central feature of the meet­ ing. Teachers who do these things in a sensible and whole-hearted fashion will soon find the question of better wages solved for them at least. The school exhibit at the county fair, which was held at Woodstock last week, was the best exhibit that has ever been seen in this county. This is the opinion of all who saw it. Great credit is due the superintendents, principals and teachers who were largely instrumental in placing the exhibit. Too much credit cannot be given the new superintendents who took hold of the matter and filled their regular space in the face of diffi­ culties that naturally encounter the new head of a school system. The McHenry county fair of 1009 has passed into history. The weather was not the most favorable for the occasion. The rain of Wednesday evening and the lowering skies of Thursday morn­ ing had a decidedly discouraging effect on the possible and probable big attend­ ance of Thursday. As it was, a large crowd was on the grounds Thursday and the attendance of Wednesday and Friday was all that could be expected. It is too early as yet to give any definite idea of the financial outcome of the last fair. Howeyer, this can be said with positive assurances of verification on the part Df the great majority of those who attended, it was by far the best fair that has been held in this county during the history of the association. Too much credit cannot be given Sec'y. Hunt for his part in making it what it was. He has labored hard and long for this result and he merits all praise for the success attained. It is not saying too much that the great balance of credit should be given to this worthy official Of course he has had many faithful assistants who have stood man­ fully by him in the hours of discourage­ ment, but his wap the spirit that re­ mained constantly undaunted in the face of both man's critical carping and nature's caprices in dishing out unfa­ vorable weather. It is probably un­ deniable that there is no man in this county who has done more for the edu­ cational, moral and financial progress of this county as a whole than has Geo. A. Hunt Furthermore, this has been without any adequate remuneration. He has striven to put the fair on an edu­ cational basiB, while at the same time he has made legitimate allowances for the fun-loving and sport-seeking classes. To row up stream is no easy task. He has been rowing up stream with a heavily freighted bark and now that he has the thing under headway it behooves all--even the most pessimistic--to take hold and help to make the institution the best in the land. All that is needed is more of the spirit of our patient and persistent secretary. The Road to Success has many obstructions, but none so des­ perate as poor health.

Carter's "Just a Woman's Way," which'will appear at the Central opera bonse next Sunday evening, deals with the strug­ gles of a young wife with radical views as to the sanctity of the marriage vow in defending her home and hnsbaml against the wiles of a scheming adven­ turess, who, for the while, seems tri umphant. Dnring the action of the play, which finally brings the true wife a hard won victory, extremely strong situations occur tbat hold| the attention of the audience nntil the final drop of the curtain.'

This mag­ nificent property, large enough for 1,497 farms and homes, is being practically given away to 1,497 persons who apply for a farm before they are all sold. In addi­ tion to the farm, each purchaser is given a town lot in a proposed addition to Ironton, a well established city of 1,500 people, and the county sfcat of Iron county. The farms range in size from a 10-acre fruit and truck farm to a 640-acre general farm. One undivided farm and one town lot together will be sold for only $150. payable $10 a month, and each purchaser will receive, free of charge, a warranty deed for a lot and a warranty deed for a farm large enough to employ his time profitably the year round and if well cultivated will make him independent for life.

The soil is rich and fertile-- a veritable mine of agricultural wealth--and the yield and production of fruit and truck can hardly be excelled.
