A local newspaper is the great medi­ um of exchange in the place in which it is published. It is the fountain head to which all resort for news. It is the chief medium by which buyers and sellers, merchants and public are brought into business relations with each other. It stands for knowledge, good morals and progress, and is in the forefront of every movement to further the best interests of the com­ munity. By former citizens, who have made new homes in other places, it is welcomed as a regular letter that keejw them in sympathetic touch with the old home they still love and keep green the'tender memories of the past. That the recent invention of a former McHenry boy, a sanitary steak shred­ der, is winning fayor among the. Amer- can housewives is quite evident from reports received from William H. Laughlin, one of the inventors, who is now located at Dows, la. ^ In a letter to The Plaindealer Mr. Laughlin, who, by the way, is a for­ mer McHenry boy, tells us that the shredder ̂ as proven a great seller-and in each and every instance has proven most satisfactory. During the past few days shredders have been forwarded to every state in the union, and, as Mr. Laughlin expresses it, the purchasers are "all satisfied." The writer, thru the courtesy of Mr. Laughlin. has received one of the shredders and finds it to be just exactly as represented by its manufacturers. LaFollette's magazine, published by Wisconsin's energetic senator at Madi­ son. Wis., in a recent issue published the following article relating to the shredder, which speaks for itseJf: "Since the publication of UncleSam's cook book, Iowa stew has become a favorite dish in many households. But it is with Iowa stew as it is with every dish known to the culinary art, it may be good and it may not be. It all de­ pends on the care with which it is-pre­ pared. It is very simple, consisting merely of round steak thoroly pounded and with flour pounded into both sides of it, the pounding being followed by a careful browning and then by a long simmering in a closely covered dish. Like most other meat dishes, Iowa stew is much improved if it meets the ghost of an onion somewhere on its journey from butcher shop to table. "But Iowa stew at its best must have been prepared with an Iowa pounder. We say that every time we eat it thus prepared.* We look at each other and say: 'Housekeepers certainly ought to know about this new kitchen weajwfn.' It is called the sanitary steak shredder and is made and sold by the Lawson- Laughlin Specialty Co. at Dows, la. In spite of the name, the one thing that this utensil does not do to the steak is to shred it. It makes it de- liciously tender, but leaves it in its original form, except that the meat for some reason seems to puff up in the cooking. Instead then of thin slices of meat torn apart, we have an uninutil- ated slice, very tender and very juicy. , "The shredder costs 50 cents and is warranted to last a life titine. It is said to do for pork chops and the tough ends of porterhouse steak what it does for round steak, and while we have not tried it on these meats, we see no reason why it should not do so." HERE; is the style adopted during THE CONVENTION OF CUSTOM CUTTERS. It's perfect1--notice the long round notch lapel--round corners--natural shoulders--flaring side lines easy chest--it's a Spring Favorite. We are showing the pret tiest Line of Woolens on the Market.

Remember the date, Sun­ day, March 19; remember the ^prices, 25, 35 and 50 cents, and remember the place, the Central opera house. FINE OF 9200. The postal authorities at Washing­ ton, recognizing the liability of post­ masters to make mistakes in getting letters in the wrong boxes, have fixed a penalty of $200 on persons taking mail out of the office other than their own and not returning it at once. This law also includes newspapers. The excuse that it is the postmaster's fault "cute no ice." If you have been get­ ting other people's mail you had bet­ ter take warning or you may get your­ self into trouble. m GOOD ADVICE. Spring will soon be here and cellars will need to be cleaned up and all the decaying vegetables removed. Too often this is neglected with the result that sickness comes, and probably death. Under such circumstances peo­ ple are likely to question the goodness of the Almighty and talk about the mysteries of divine providence. There is no mystery about it.

May 4 ?\ --- Telephone No 393. SIMON STOFFEL That A. G. Brown of Fox Lake, pres­ ident of the village since it was incor- l>orated five years ago, is master of the situation at Fox Lake, is shown by the fact that he is each time re-elected to head the village despite the fact that every time a strenuous fight is put up to beat him. At the primary election held Tues­ day of this w^ek, Mr. Brown was again re-elected president of the village after his opponent had put up a hard fight against him, their candidate being James Hayek. When the votes were counted it was seen that Mr. Brown had 88 votes, while Hayek had but 21,. These two meq appeared as candi­ dates for village president on the In­ dependent ticket.- Fred Shultz and J. i' Speazckj candidates for trustee and magistrate, were the only candidates on the Citizens' ticket and each got two votes. The votes for the trustees, etc., on the Independent ticket is given below, three trustees to be elected, the win­ ning men being: Herbertz, Jansen and Bailey, the latter beating Bora by but one vote. President--A. G. Brown, 88: James Hayek, 21. Trustees A. J. Smith, 21; A. C. Born, 4.'{; Wm. Herbertz, (51; Wm. D. Jansen, (51: R. Muench, 25; John Bailey, 44. Police Magistrate George Pastbut, HO. The victory of President Brown is a pronounced One and shows that the residents of Fox Lake believe in him and believe it is to him that they owe the unusual advance which the village has made in the past five years. Mr. Brown has worked unceasingly for the village and has done more toward making the village one of the busiest places in the lake district than any other individual. He is a progressive man and has the utmost cenfidenCe of the people of the locality, shown by their continuous support of his can­ didacies at election time. Mr. Brown is a quiet, unassuming fellow, but has many good ideas which he lias worked out to the advantage of the village during his five years' tefan. It begins to look as if the people realize his in­ terest in the town and his efficiency is self-evident right along in the daily doings of the village. . The election takes place in April and the whole Independent ticket.' with Brown at its head, will be elect­ ed.

The Honeymooners, advertised as an all laug-h show, appeared at our opera house last night to a very large audi­ ence. The performance starts in at the end of a two year honeymoon with the arrival of a boy baby, there are a series of intensely humorous occur­ rences and situations, many of which are strained and improbable, the au­ thor has made little attempt to follow an established plot, or strive for dra­ matic situations,--he has written with the evident purpose in view to provide an evening's amusement, and this he furnishes in abundance by picturing the humorous side of married life. The author has aimed at cleanliness in spite of the many opportunities offered for questionable dialogue and situa­ tions. The audience last night en­ joyed it hugely. W. H. Murphy play­ ed the husband with the fervor farce demands, the girls were all good look­ ers and acted their parts delightfully. The many song numbers introduced thruout the play helped to make a pleasant evening and the Honeymoon­ ers can be classed as a successful at­ traction Lake Placid, c o New York World.
