I HATCH LOOKS SAFE The Hebron Tribune of August 27, i spe&king of a meeting of the Bull Mooseys of that village and vicinity fceld on. Monday evening, August 24, fays: .*• Hon,. It. Hafteb of Spring&*ove, 4 ̂ Candidate for the legislature, was next presented and he spoke very interest­ ingly to those present for thirty-five or forty minutes, briefly outlining his platform and policies. Mr. Hatch is a pronounced advocate of a county option law and is a bitter enemy of the saloon business. The candidacy of Fayette S. Munro will have little if any significance in this section on account of his apparent unfitness for re-election. Mr. Munro is a Chicago lawyer, unfamiliar with the requirements of a dairy country and has no claim to the nomination of a dairying people. While on the other hand, Mr. Hateh is a dairy farmer, a friend of the constituency he is wish­ ing to represent and a man thoroly alive to the requirements of this sec­ tion. Therefore his candidacy is be­ ing greeted with great enthusiasm thruout this section. Mr. Munro has not made an active campaign in this section, but has left his Campaign to a few political plug- gers, who are quietly covering the dis­ trict in his behalf, but it is hard to overshadow the big, strong personality of a man of Mr. Hatch's calibre Mid that Hatch will be nominated in Sep­ tember is regarded as certain. HATCH FOR COUNTY OPTION I have always supported the temper­ ance cause, and if nominated and elect­ ed to the legislature, I will support and vote for a county local option law and work and vote for universal suf­ frage, and will also do my very best to protect and safeguard the dairy inter­ ests and farmers of the eighth sena­ torial district in all matters, and espe­ cially in their present trouble with the city of Chicago in getting their milk into that city for market. • I FEED L.

WHOLE YEAK WITHOUT A DROP OPERA HOUSE, McHENRY SUNDAY, SEPT. 6, '14 "" " m ON ACCOUNT OF BUILDING «CHOOV f̂|i4* NOT OPEN UNTIL SEPT. 14 "SHIP OF DESERT" BETTERS REPUTATION OF KIND BY MANY MONTHS I 1 Some wit of recent times propounded the query, ".A camel can go eight days without drinking, but who in Sam Hill wants to be a camel?" Now eight days without a drop of moisture is bad enough, but when a "ship of the des ert" can manage to pass over a twelve month Without imbibing it is going some, to say-the least. Yet such a beast is one of the features with The Isle of Smiles, one of the early visitors on the Ned Alvord, Inc.,circuit. Truth must admit that the camel in question is composed to a great extent of wooden frame and hair cloth covering, but to even such a year without one teeny weeny drink is a long time. The "camel" furnishes much of the comedy in The Isle of Smiles. The theft of the sacred beast from the court of an oriental potentate and the de mand for its return on pain of death causes the two German comedians to attempt to pass themselves off«s t ungainly beast. The chorus with The Isle of Smiles is a prominent feature. The chorus of the young women is displayed to best advantage in the guise of Mexican senoritas and ladies of the harem.

Last week we did not mention the good time we had initiation night, but it is never too late to say we had a fine one, and we are gathering in new mem bers right along and soon will repeat the fun, only we are going to have even a better time the next time. Next Sunday is the day for all young people to come to church. The morn ing service will be a talk for them and the evening service will be a rally ser­ vice and all Epworth leaguers and all who wish to become Epworth leaguers are urged to attend. Special music will be on hand for both services. THE SBCBBTABY. OAS GORGEOUS EMBELLISHMENT The scenes of the Isle of Smiles are laid in Mexico and on an oriental island. Both give aihple opportunity for elaborate and unique scenic and sartorial displays. Both the scenic artist and the costumer have keen given full sway, the result of which is the most delightful and bewildering display that has graced the stage in many a day.
