ARMSTRONG'S WIPE- At the Central Opera Hon* T" Evening This i. \ ̂ "Armstrong's Wife," t thrilling story by the celebrated American dramatist, Margaret Turnbull, has been selected by the Jesse L. Lasky company for the photodramatic de­ but as a Paramount star of Miss Edna Goodrich, the distinguished actress, and will be presented at the Central on Thursday evening. In this gripping play, Miss Good­ rich has an excellent opportunity to display her wonderful dramatic abil­ ity as well as her beautiful gowns for which she is noted. This play tells the story of . May Fielding, a country girl, who is tricked into a false marriage by a profession­ al gambler and elopes with him to the city, driving her girlhood lover brok- en-hegrted to seek his fortune in the wilds bf the Canadian northwest. When May discovers that her sup­ posed husband, Harvey Arnold, is a professional gambler, she secures from him his promise to give it up. Arnold becomes jealous of his part­ ner and during a quarrel kills him, but escapes from the policemen and flees to Canada. * • May discovers that thai real Mrs. Arnold is living and has never ob­ tained a divorce and seeks employ­ ment as a cloak model, but refusing to accept the unwelcome attentions of her employer's customers, she leaves and is on the verge of privation'when her former sweetheart, David Arm­ strong, hears of the murder and comes to her. He offers tP marry her but May refuses until hp convinces her that he wants to give her the protec* tion of his name and wants her for a ^partner, rather than a wife. The two return to David's home in Canada and there Arnold finds them. Thinking that May has taken this means of meeting him, Arnold is beg­ ging her to leave with him when David enters and orders Arnold out. But before he goes Arnold tells May to meet him at the deserted cabin that night. The two men meet later in the abandoned cabin and May, by threatening to kill herself if Arnold shoots him again, saves her hus­ band's life. Arnold is killed by the police. May realizes her love for David as he lays injured in her arms, and he, realizing that he has judged her wrongly, forgives her. f ^ C. O. F.

HOLLY HADE CASHIER HOY BANK TILLAGE m F. J. Mershon Will Move To Chicago, Where He Will Engage In the In­ surance Business Jos, C. Holly, employed by the Hoy Banking company for the past two ye&rs, was appointed to succeed F. J. Mershon as cashier and took up the responsibility on Monday morning. Mr. Mershon has been with the in<- stitution since its opening here in 1913, when the bank was purchased from Perry and Owen, the original bankers in this institution. ' After passing into the hands of Fre­ mont Hoy many changes were made in the interior of the building and it was so modernized that it took on an entirely new 'and attractive appear­ ance, with new banking facilities, which were much appreciated by its patrons. By adhering to the same strict bus­ iness principles established by the retired hanking firm, the nelw firm have added many new patrons to the old list, with a double increase in stock. Mr. Hoy was raised and grew up in the business, a bank being estab­ lished by his forefathers at the county seat, Woodstock, branching out to Crystal Lake, Ringwood and McHenry, and no phase of the bank­ ing business remains a mystery to him. * In the appointment of Jts. C. Holly as cashier the bank has honored it­ self in honoring Mr. Holly, he having proved his ability as a valu- blc employe as assistant the past* two years. He is a home product, having attended the school here, and has an enviable record kmong his many solicitous friends. He held the position as postmaster at the McHen­ ry postoffice before entering the bank two years ago, where his success was publicly recognized. The retiring cashier has accepted a position with some large insurance firm in Chicago and left with his fam­ ily last week. Mr, Mershon will be greatly ymissed among the many friends and acquaintances made by him during the years spent in Mc­ Henry in the employ of the Hoy Banking company and we wish him as great a success in his new under­ taking. Mr. Holly will be assisted by Miss Elsie L. Smith of Ringwood, a student of the business college of Elgin for the past two years, an accomplished young lady and a former graduate of "the McHenry h\gh school, where she was held as a great favorite. With the change we predict great success and a wonderful growth in this well established banking insti­ tution under the name of Hoy Bank­ ing company. SCHOOLS CLOSE AT JOHNSBURG THE MILK SITUATION Dairymen Asking $2.00 Per Hundred For Winter Milk Two Cases of Infantile Paralysis Must Keep,. Children at Home Children ia the home of Jos. Hue­ mann and Henry Hettermann at Johnsburg were taken ili^on Saturday and Dr. A. Mueller, their home physician, was called, who immediate­ ly isolated the patients until the ar­ rival of Dr. Crawford of the state department on Monday, who pro­ nounced each case as infantile paral­ ysis and forced a rigid quarantine upon children. No children will be allowed to leave their homes nor premises. Schools are closed and the church is also closed to children. Dr. Crawford has handled oyer four hundred cases of infantile paralysis this year and warns most emphatically the parents of children in the vicinity to take care of them and keep them in their own yards. This is a frightful contagion and if allowed will spread with wonderful rapidityi hence the necessity of such restrictions. It is hoped that with Dr. Mueller's timely advice the disease may be kept under bounds. - Columbus Pay Celebration The entertainment committee of the Knights of Columbus has ar ranged for an illustrated lecture on Columbus on Columbus day, Oct. 12.

The lecture will be for the general pub­ lic and will be given at Staffers halL ' Notic The R. N. A. Thimble club will open the Riverview card season of 1916-17 on Sept. 30 at Weber's hall. Tickets, 25 cents. Everybody wel- your sisters, cousins come, i,Brin and «u*t$ Every farmer and milk producer in McHenry county and surrounding ter­ ritory is vitally interested in the milk situation. Representatives of the local associations met in Chicago and set the average price of milk for the next six months at $2.00 per hundred. We believe that this is only a fair and just price and we should have it. It costs more to produce milk this year than ever before and we must have more for our milk. From official reports from the of­ fice in Chicago it is understood that many of the buyers are willing to pay the price and sign the contract for six months. Among them are: Oatman Condensed Milk company, J. F. Jelke company, Victor Mey com­ pany and one or two others. Most of the can buyers have signified their intention of paying the price. One or two large buyers are still holding off. The dairymen of this section have set a fair price on their product and must stand for that price. If we will co-operate the buyers must pay the price or not get the product. New locals are being organized con­ tinually north of this territory. The organization has spread as far as the Twin Cities in Minnesota, where the Twin City Milk Producers' orgah- ization was formed on September 1. Let every milk producer put his shoulder to the wheel and place his milk in the hands of the local milk board for them to sell. Co-operation is OUT only hope. A. F. Gafke, County Agricultural Agent. COLBY-SATTEM WEDDING Tfkea Plaoe st Home of Bî de 'on Swiday Afternoon v ' % Esther G. Sattem and Raymond L. Colby were united in marriage by. the Rev. W. C. Evers, pastor of the M. E- churcl\ here, on Sunday, Sept. 17. Both the marriage and reception took place at the home of the bride, the ring ceremony being earned out. Dressed in white satin and carrying a huge bouquet of white roses, the bride looked charming. Her sister, Miss Gertrude Sattem, attended her, dressed in pink silk and carrying pink roses. Walter Sattem, brother of the bride, was groomsman. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Sattem, who reside south of Sherman hill, and is a young lady of many accomplishments with a quiet and unassuming manner that has won for her a distinction among her acquaintances in McHenry. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Colby, who reside northwest of this village, and was born and raised there, attending the Methodist church, to which both are remarkably devoted. He is a scien­ tific farmer and a young man of. high, noble character. The couple left from Woodstock on Sunday evening for a,short honey­ moon and on their return will take up housekeeping on the Colby farm. We wish them much happingffft, in their journey thru life. y 1 | Milk Producers MeetP • • Fifty farmers, local members of the Milk Producers' association, met at Woodman hall last night and the re­ sult was that they are standing pat for $2.00 per hundred for their milk. W. J. Kittle, secretary, was with them and talked at length upon the milk question and knows how. Bordens will consider the $2.00 contract for one month, but the farmers will not agree to deliver milk under such an agree­ ment. Just what the outcome will be remains to be seen by those who have made a study of the situation. Mr. Kittle knows the attitude of every milk producer in the Chicago district and urges strong co-operation in standing out for their rights in ask­ ing $2.00 per hundred for six months. With the advance in price to the con­ sumers- by the Chicago dealers there is little doubt that all milk companies will pay the price asked by the milk producers over ten thousand stropg in this district.
