SUCCESS You envy the man who always has money to use when hte has need for it. You see him buy a piece of property at a ridiculously low figure or perhaps he takes advantage of some business opportunity, paying cash, while you have been compelled to let it pass by because yeu have not h&d the cash to handle it. You wonder and wonder how it hap- pans that this, your friend, whom you believe has no greater business ability than yqu, is always on hand to pick up the snaps. You fold your hands, be­ moan your fate and call it LUCK, in spite of the fact that some one has said that there is no such thing as luck. rSupp9se we analyze your friend's Success. Hp is shrewd? Yes. Pos­ sessed Of good business judgment? Yes. He wovks hard? Yes. pe quickly grasps qpportunities? Yes. He has money? Y es. 04t the analysis must go farther than (his. The several characteristics of success $re all based fundamentally on the possession ol money. The posses­ sion of money depends upon a definite plan of saving, carefully and systemat­ ically pursued- In 1W.4 you should adopt some posi­ tive system of saving and there can be none better than that offered by the Bank of MoHenry, where an account ,ying 3% compound interest can be with as small a sum as one Isar.

The fourth annual exhibit of the Mc Henry County Poultry association wil take place at the new armory at Wood stock January 14 to 18. Thru the efforts of the Elgin Pailj Courier and generous givers of thai city, I.'jO poor families of that place en joyed a hearty Christinas dinner. Hebron is another McHenry county town which is to be given a new po?t master. Henry Earle of that place expects to b* appointed to ilie pi si- tion. The Lutheran congregation at 1'ula- >tine have decided to build a #2;"),OOU church edifice in that village. Work on the new structure will begin early this spring. <•;. Vanus, Begun, a ^farmer residing near Hebron, was taken to Woodstock on Monday of last week, where he was adjudged insane and committed to the asylum at Elgin. George W. Pratt, an old resident of Wauconda, passed away at the West Side hospital in Chicago on Wednes­ day morning of last week. Blood poi­ soning caused his death. Cisco fishers are reaping a harvest at Lake'Geneva tnese days. 'Tis said that a number of the fishermen are making as high as $20 per day in catching and selling fish. Granville Newman, an old resident living near Hartland, was beaten and robbed by two men just as he was emerging from his barn on Tuesday evening of last week. The robbers got $2<j. The first newspaper conducted ex­ clusively by women, will be the Evan- ston Index, a weekly publication of the north shcre city. The staff, it is de­ clared, will be composed entirely of women. New buildings to cost $150,000 will be erected on the grounds of the state insane asylum at Elgin the coming year. A new power and heating plant to cost $100,000 will, be one of the structures. Petitions arc now being circulated among the voters of Waukegan, ask­ ing for the recall of Mayor Julius F. Bidinger and Commissioner J. J. Diet- meyer. The principal charges made against the two c^ officials are neg­ lect of duty. Obscene letters have been sent thru the Harvard postoffice of late and the receivers, two women and a clergyman of that city, are making an investiga­ tion to ascertain the author or authors. It is quite likely that a detective will be called into service.

According to the attorney general, County Surveyor C, L. Tryon, who was recently named as superintendent of highways of McHenry county by the board of supervisors, cannot hold both offices, He was elected to the office of county surveyor in 1912 and evidently must give UP one of the two offices. Homer E, Snyder, a sixteen-year-old Richmond boy, was fatally injured by the accidental discharge of a shot gun while out hunting a week ago last Sunday- H$ was in the act of crawl­ ing thru a wire fence when the acci­ dent occurred. The young man was hurried to the hospital at Woodstock, where he passed away a short time after his arrival.

The score was 23 to 22 and, to say le very least, the natives of the (>eau- tul summer resort *city who turned Jt to watch the same were treated to le of the classiest games ever wit- 3ssed in their town. The game was fast and c lean from art to finish, the insult being in )ubt up to the time that the last histle sounded the close of the con- ist. The McHenry hoys took the lead uring the last minute of play and in >ite Geneva's efforts to take it way our boys clun^ to the big end ad thereby annexed another game to Heir list of w inning, much to the de- ght of the local followers of the sport nd to the sot row of those who back le lladger city lads. There was no individual starring on it her side.

STAMP YOUR HAIL It has been brought to our attention by rural mail carriers that many pat­ rons living on the routes (ire still in the ha.'tit of placing mail matter in thei' bdxes without the necessary stamps. IVie law is very plain on this point and plainly states that the car­ riers are not V^ligcd to accept mail that does not be:tt' the proper postage stamps. One cari\er reports that he picked up ninety-t^0 pieces of un­ stamped mail on his Tuesday of this week and wishes us to say^T!!^' him that he will pass up all matter\ilot stamped. Patrons of the routes show bear thfs in mind and see to it that their matter is stamped in the future as it is anything but a pleasure to be picking loose pennies from mail boxes these frosty mornings. AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM The Christinas program at the M. E church on Wednesday evening of last week was one of the. best of its kind ever listened to in McHenry. The church was most appropriately deco rated for the occasion and a large con gtvgution was present to hear the ex cellent program and see the little folks made happy by the distribution of gifts by Santa Claus. The singing of the choir was exceptionally good and is worthy of special mention. ROYAL NEIGHBOR CARD CLUB The Royal Neighbor Card club met at the home of Mrs. Peter B.

WATER STREET MARKET CLOSED The Water street meat market is closed. W. A. Fisher, who has con- ucted the place during the past two ears, has quit business. It seems at the stand is a fairly good one dur- •y the summer months, but cannot be jide a paying proposition during tjf^ dull season. BAG PUNCHING EXHIBITION Walter Freund, the bag punching artist, will give another exhibition of his skill at Weber's hall in this village on Tuesday evening of next week, Jan­ uary 6.

We are told that a number of the rural residents residing south of town are already enjoying the convenience of gas. Charles Buchert has moved his fam­ ily from the Crook farm just north of the village limits to the P. Hunt farm south of town. S. M.

Auto drivers say that they never saw them any better. This is even true over in Lake county. "The Home Doctor" is the title of a book that is being sold to farmers and others residing in McHenry and vicin­ ity. The book is full of valuable in­ formation and should be in every home.
