Schu An attempt is being made by one or 'more book men to sell to the teachers of this county a set of books, not upon the merit of the books, but rather thru preparation of the teachers for the new -certification law and that the purchase of these books would merit promotion in the office of the county superintend­ ent. The agent also suggests, in some places, that the superintendent has purchased a set, showing his name as heading the list and represents that a study of these books is better than a summer course at our state normal. County Superintendent- Shelton has sent out lqtiers to all his teachers, re­ questing that they be on the lookout for any one making these extravagant statements and to report by telephone to Sheriff Henderson at Woodstock the locality in which such a person is working. He further requests that the teachers who havie purchased un­ der a false representation to report all facts to him that he may have evidence for State's Attorney D. R. Joslyn, who will prosecute their cases for them. The first meeting of the principals and superintendents was held last Sat­ urday at the court house in Wood­ stock. The following officers were elected for the new school year: Pres., H. A. Dean, Crystal Lake; vice Pres., A. Edgar Nye, McHenry; Sec. and Tresis , Oswell Treadway, Richmond. The work for the school year was out iint?d. The provisions-of both the new cer­ tification law and the free high school tuitiou act were rej>orted upon and in the county and state there is general compliance with the acts. In this county there will be held four examinations for all teachers now actively engaged in teaching. Com­ plete details of these examinations will he mailed out from the office of the county superintendent early in next month. The McHenry County Soil Improve­ ment association offers, thru the cour­ tesy of the Goodyear-Marshall Publish­ ing company, to one farmer in this county an opportunity to secure free an exact cost system of production for hfs farm beginning January 1, 1914. The corner stone of profitable busi­ ness is exact knowledge of the cost of production. It is generally accepted that one farmer produces his milk cheaper than another, altho the natur­ al advantages of both may be the same. To know on which side of the profit line each cow is requires definite data pertaining to each individual. The same is true of the cost of production of corn, oats, etc.; reliable data must be at hand. The entire plan,* is simple and is offered free to one representative farmer sufficiently interested to make daily notation on blanks furnished to be returned at the end of the month. AH computations and results will be tabulated in the office free. Those interested should write either Delos James, consulting agriculturist, or A. M. Shelton, secretary. J. C. "McDowell of Washington, D. C., in charge of 180 county agents in northern United States, visited a day with James last Saturday. He highly complimented the work being done in this county and said that he had calls for 300 more such positions that he could not fill because of lack of funds. $275,000 are spent each year by the government for this work. In the south there are 900 such agents at work. The attention' of County Superin­ tendent A. M. Shelton was called to the extravagant statements that a book agent was making to the teachers of the county. This report was made to him last Saturday and Monday a letter was sent to all the teachers, request­ ing that they be on the lookout for such a person and if upon being ap­ proached the agent insinuated that he was being sent out from the office or that Mr. Shelton would not only be pleased if they purchased a set, but that he would base his examination up­ on these books for certificates,|that the teacher was to call up SBferiff Hender­ son, who would apprehend him. Tues-' day evening the sheriff received such a call from a party near Alden and went to Harvard and secured his man. A prer liminary hearing was given the agent, Mr,. Murray» in Harvard and he was bound over to the grand jury. Sheriff Henderson returned to Woodstock with his prisoner and Wednesday morning statements were taken by Assistant State's Attorney Paul Donovan in the offioe of the county superintendent from a numbert of teachers who had pur­ chased sets. Bail was not given and the prisoner remained a boarder in the Oustody of the sheriff. AUTUMN FESTIVAL The Dorcas society of the M. E. church will hold an autumn festival at Stoffel's hall on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, October 29. Fancy goods, aprons and articles for Christmas will be' on sale.

MARGARET BOYLE BORN AT KUKENNEY, IRELAND Beruhmte Kapuziner Trepfen Allgemeine Familia Medicine, and $1.00. Petesch's. WAS ONE OF NcHBNRY TOWNSHIP'S ODD­ EST RESIDENTS--WAS HIGHLY RE­ SPECTED One by one our pioneer residents are being called to their reward. The ranks are rapidly diminishing and with­ in a few morf years all will be gone. Mrs. Margaret Boyle, one of the early corners to this village, and who was classed among the pioneer settlers, answered the call of her Master at the home of her son, John Boyle, who re­ sides a short distance west of this vil­ lage, on Sunday, October 5, 1913- The deceased, whose maiden name was Margaret Davis, was born in the county of Kilkenney, Ireland, about eighty-four years ago. Here she was raised and grew to, womanhood. At the age of twenty she, with%er sister, left their home, relatives and friends and set out for the new world which was offering such flattering induce­ ments at that time. After a safe journey across the big waters they arrived on American soil. This was sixty-four years ago last August. The deceased made her hope at Buffalo, N. Y., until the following June, when she came to McHenry. Five years after her arrival here she was united in marriage to Martin Boyle, the wedding having been performed in the Catholic church at Hartland, 111. Soon after her marriage she moved with her husband to the Boyle home­ stead, where she has continuously re­ sided up to the time of her departure. Her husband passed away fourteen years ago last March. Mrs. Boyle was the mother of six children, three of whom died in in­ fancy. The living children are Mrs. Mary Carey of Elgin, Mi's. P. J. Cleary and John Boyle of this place. Besides the three^ children, she leaves one brother, William Davis, of this place; two sisters, Mrs. Ed. Keefe of Wood­ stock and Mrs. Thomas Fitzpatrick of Chicago; eleven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and a large host of relatives and friends. The deceased was one of those good old women who did so much for the new world. She was a kind and pains­ taking mother, a true Christian and a friend to everyone. Her many acts of charity, her sympathetic nature, her love for that which is good, noble and true, her love for home and family were a few of her characteristics that made her a woman who was dearly beloved and highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral took place from St. Pat­ rick's Catholic church here at ten o'clook on Tuesday morning of last week, the last sad rites being per­ formed by Rev. D. Lehane. , As a fit­ ting tribute, one of the largest gather­ ings that ever attended a funeral at St. Patrick's was present to follow her body to its last resting place in the cemetery adjoining the church. Those from out of town who attend­ ed the funeral were: Mrs. Mary Carey and daughters of Elgin, Ed. Carey abd children of Spring Grove, Miss B. Brahan of Elgin, Mesdames Ed. Rene- han, Ed. Keefe, Miss Mary Keefe, J. Keefe, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Guth, Mr. and Mrs. John Walsh of Woodstock; James Walsh, Mrs. T. Muldoon and Miss Margaret Walsh of Whiting, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. J.Graham of Round Lake, Mrs. Thos. Fitzpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. J. Fitzpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fitzpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. A.

"JUST US" CLUB DANCE The members of the "Just Us" club, who have given several very enjoyable dances here during the past two years, have decided to hold another event of this kind. Stoffel's hall has been en­ gaged by them'for the purpose and the girls have set the date for Saturday evening, October-25. The dances con­ ducted by this jolly crowd of young peoplo in the past have not only proven a big social suocess, but have been money-makers as well. The irirls have a neat little balance left in their treas­ ury as the result of previous efforts in this direction, so it will be seen at a glance that th^y will spare no expense in making the coming event one of the biggest and best evef attempted in McHenry. Walsh's Chicago orchestra has been engaged for the occasion, which means that the music will be O. K. No programs will be issued on this occasion, which will be good news for the late comers.
