Bert McCannon commenced work on his barn Monday morning. " Dr. and Mrs. Hepburn were Chicago visitors Friday of last week. J. S. Brown passed away at his home in this, village early Tuesday evening. Mrs. Martha Bradley and Sarah Jo- honnott were Woodstock visitors last Friday." Mrs. Alma Thomas of McHenry spent Saturday with her daughter, Mrs. Bainey. Ed Bell, , who was quite siek the last of the week, is out again. Dir. Strong of Richmond attended him. Mrs. Emma Matthews and little granddaughter of McHenry yere call­ ers at Bert McCannon's Tuesday after­ noon. C. W^Harrisoo and wife and Claude Hutson and wife and little daughter of Nunda township were Sunday guests at J. C. Ladd's*, All are glad to see Mr; Hutson able to be out again. Raster was fittingly observed ln our church Sunday afternoon and evening J. D. Smith brought his fine Victrola and played appropriate music at both services, and also at the stereopticbn lecture Monday evening on the life of Paul. All extend a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. We thank our friends for the egg roll for Wesley hospital. A case of 30 dozen has been shipped away to Wes­ ley, where we' know they will be ap­ preciated. The benevolent collections for Ringwood last Sunday amounted to H3. We will welcome you at any of our services. The W. C. T. U. had a pleasant meeting at Mrs. Spaulding's last Sat­ urday afternoon. While the ladies were sorry to lose in the recent elec­ tion, yet all were glad that 112 women cast their votes for the protection of the children and home and only 41 against it. The only way we can ac­ count for these is that they have not made a study of the dreadful effect of alcohol upon the body. The farmer would not feed alcohol to his dumb animals, as he knows they would not grow. Then why should we permit it to be sold tb our children? Are not opr boys and girls worth as m,uch to the country as the live stock? Mother, we plead with yoa, look into these things and next time you will vote to proteet your loved ones.--L. C. A., Cor. Sec. W. C. T. U. of Ringwood. Basket S*cial The Young People's Social dub of Ringwood will give a basket social at Woodman hall on Saturday evening, April, 18.

The fever is contagious. It took Governor Dunne's advice to have Sunday quiet in McHenry. Will the hired men be able to work on Mon­ days? We hope so. Kmil Thomas came up from Cham­ paign last week Thursday and is very sick with pneumonia at the home of his ui&le, William Thomas. His par­ ents are with him. Mrs. Maude Clark and little daugh­ ters, Alice and Leta, were seen wend­ ing theic way toward Ringwood last Friday. We suppose their destination was Grandpa Abbott's. We wopder if the good, glad tidings cap be true. Are the illegal dram shops at Johnsburg and vicinity really closed? It seems too good to be true, Will the good people of McHenry really know how to act to have the saloons closed on Sunday? Can they really believe they are in McHenry? Shame to the owners of such resorts. Math. Laures ,Pfc°iie McHewrj| [ r'•••-' ' VOM> Martin Stoffel was in McGtenrj Wed­ nesday. ' Chat Thomson ef Fart Hill was Ivi town Wednesday.

Well, one vote isn't so bad. r: 'W J OHNSRUBGB. A few of the laborers here have again found employment at the Bay In keeping with the promises made, the saloons were closed during the church services last Sunday. Quite a few from here attended the funeral of Miss Katherine Schaefer at McHenry last Friday afternoon. Quite a number of McHenryites were here on Sunday. Some came to quench their thirst, while others were out joy riding. N. F. Freund and N. M. Schmitt have been at Mudlavia, Ind., where they took treatments at this famous health resort. Next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 there will be a moving picture show in the parish hall. Mr. Smith of McHenry will show three reels of movies. A number in this vicinity t are get­ ting the automobile fever and we wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few new cars in this vicinity soon. Professor Laska, a vocal teacher of Woodstock, was in town Monday look­ ing for scholars. He will give sing­ ing lessons every Monday in McHenry, 111. The farmers in this vicinity are very busy these days, getting their fields in shape for the annual planting season. Plowing is quite general thruout this section. , A handsome crowd at church services was an evidence of perfect Easter weather. Easter hats made their ap­ pearance, too, and gave the day more than ordinary importance. A large crowd of dancers attended the Easter danoe at Smith's hall here on Monday evening of this week. Quite a few pame up from McHenry. A wedding dance «ill be held next Monday evening. The annual school election for this district will be held in the district school here next Saturday, April 18. The candidates are in the field for the ottices of trustees, they being Jacob H. Aftarns, Peter Smith and Joseph J. Freund. The eltar boys made a superb, uni­ form appearance Easter Sunday. No church like ours for such good order at the altar. The sisters deserve cred­ it for the fine training. Each altar boy who came with his white gloves and collar received a box of cany. Martin Palmes, a former Johnsburg bpy, has bought a half interest in a livery barn at Harvard. Mr. Palmes has been in the blacksmith business in the McHenry county city for a number of years and his acquiring a half inter est in one of that city's livery barns evidences' prosperity for the former resident. May 1 and 2 are general cleaii-up days on our cemetery. Everybody should turn out then with spade and rake and level up the graves. Mr. Miller reports that several head stones were ordered to replace wooden crosses, which are'an eyesore in our cemetery. Small granite headftonescertainly will look well. The razing of the old building, which for so many years stood across from the creamery building, is one of the very best steps taken in Johnsburg in many years. The corner was always considered one.$of the most dangerous in McHenry county and since the ad­ vent of the automobile the place has been a particularly dangerous one. The tearing down of the building eliminates the danger of the place greatly. The travelogue on Rome, showing the Eternal City and the apartments of the Holy Father, was quite a new thing for us, and «grery interesting. The beautifully colored stereoptioon slides numbered nearly 100 and are said to be very expensive. Father Berthold's double dissolving lantern worked fault­ lessly. In this Imperial double deck machine two electric c&rbou lights bum all the time. While one lens shows a picture, the automatic screen Covers the opposite projecting lens, making one picture grow out of the other. This does away with awkward interruptions between each slide and puts forth the best, clean work that can be produced. The next travelogue will be Paris, On Thursday Afternoon of last week fire destroyed the barn on the Jacob J. May farm, located about one-half.mile north of this place. The fire was dis­ covered by the hired man about six o'clock. The man was down in the basement of the barn, doing'the even­ ing milking, when he was suddenly startled by a noise which to him sound ed like the roaring of ilauies. Altho he could see no fire or smoke, he hur­ ried to the main door of the barn, where, true to his expectations, he found the place a mass of rapidly spreading flames. Returning to the basement just as fast as his feet would let him, he succeeded in getting out all of the live stock before help arrived. Mr. May and plenty oi help were on hand in time to save most of the ma- djchinery, farming tools and harness, but the building- could not be saved. A small amount of hay and grain, which was stored in the barn, was also de­ stroyed. The barn and its contents wero partially covered by insurance. This place seems .to be H most unlucky one. This is the second fire that has occurred there, the former conflagra­ tion wiping oat both house sad bam.1 -- $ Y " ' - f ; ; ku.i- -w • ill-' life with depositors in development of their business in every way consistent with good banking.

More than 400,000 such men have been treated for diuukenness and drug ad­ dictions by the Keeley remedies and re­ stored to lives of decency, honor and use­ fulness. In most of these cases the patient iedueed tagoto DwfcLt for u^atuient by jome interested frtoad or relative wlio knew that drunkenness sad drug habits vers diseases which could be cured by this method. Thousands of letters have been received, both from the cured men and from their friends. Letters from the men cured always tell sn interesting story, and those from friends express gratification in the results obtained. Letters from these ex-patients •re written from a desire to help others; this idea will be found emphasized in the one which follows: Blue Island, DL. Sept. If, 1»1S. The Leslie £:.

Dear Friends:-- Twenty years ago the 28th of August I came home from Dwight, and al­ though my business takes me into saloons very often I have not touched a drop of liquor since that time. ' If I had come out for alderman twen­ ty years ago everyono would have said " that drunkard ia a fool." But after years of sobriety I was asked to come' out in my ward. There were three candidates In the field and I received thirty-seven more votes than the other two together. Two terms I had no op­ position, which will make six years wfeea my term is up. You can tell the hoys in line what the Keeley treatment has done for DO. TeU them when they go home to Jkeep company with sood men and let their old drinking companions alone. They can talk to then in a friendly way. hut If anything Is said to them about their eure say that they took it and paid for it. I try to do all that I «q to help the man who cannot stop drinking, and if ou think my experience would be a iolp to anyone you are at liberty to publish my letter.
