The plan is to organize a stock company. The present system of county con­ trol has been thought to be inefficient. Under the new plan a permanent working organization will manage the annual fair and it is thought that in the course of a short time the debts will be paid and some real money turned into the treasury. In the past officers have been elect­ ed from the holders of season tickets, No one of them ever held office for any length of time. Tho each gave his very best efforts to the interests: of the association he came to the highest point of his efficiency, at the time of his retirement. The greatest feature of the plan worked out for reorganization is that it means permanency. Stock will be sold at a small price per share. From the stockholders officers Will be elect­ ed. It will be the aim to put the best men into office and keep them there. They will learn more things by ex­ perience than can be told them and it is thought the conducting of the busi­ ness of the association frill be bet­ tered as a result. The proposition under advisement has not been entirely worked out, but it is apparent that there are many advantages to be found in the scheme. The Boone county fair is conducted by a stock company and from its year­ ly attendance and financial returns the success of the plan seems certain. The Walworth county fair at Elk- horn is run by the county. Great in­ terest is taken in this event there and the present secretary and super­ intendent of privileges have held of­ fice for mahy years. Just the result which is hoped for here has been ac­ complished by the continued mainten­ ance of a unit organization at the head. It is stated that the new plan offers one great advantage at the outset. This appears in the fact that the state of Illinois will not contribute toward the premiums of a fair operated by a stock company. This is perhaps the only drawback to the proposed reor­ ganization. * The plans under consideration will be drawn up in the near future and laid before the members of the agri­ cultural society for adoption. It seems assured that the new measure will be accepted as it is generally conceded that a bigger and better fair will re­ sult. People who have thought of present conditions agree that a new interest must be created in the fair and those who have considered the proposed change see it accomplished, in. the plans advanced. ~ Thursday^ Nov. 16- EN CHANCE' Ridgley. •THE GOLD with Cleo Saturday, Nov Ifc^INDEREL- LA" with Mary Pickford.

Harvard Herald Pays McHenry Man . a Fine Compliment FOR SALE--A piano. Inquire of F. M. Ensign, West McHenry, HI. 21 M. F. Walsh, one of the best po­ litically posted country editors of northern Illinois, paid one of our young men, Walter ,J. Walsh, the following compliment in last week's issue of the Harvard Herald: "That Walter J> Walsh, McHenry farmer and Democratic candidate for state senator, made a splendid show­ ing in the election of Tuesday is the consensus of opinion of those convers­ ant with the odds under which he made the race. 'With an adverse Republican ma­ jority of not less than 14,000 to start on, Mr. Walsh realized he tfras mak­ ing a fight with the prospects of suc­ cess altogether against him. He de­ pended on a large defection from the Republican candidate, who was first Mr. Olson and later Mr. Swift. While there was a defection, it was nowhere as great as he was led to believe would be the case. "Usually party defections ereated on account of dislike or for personal reasons are minimized when election day arrives and many who at first in­ dicate symptoms of rebellion over a party candidate, change their views and from an outspoken opposition they turn to indifference and then become reconciled and very frequently vote the straight party ticket, on which often appears the name of the candi< date for whom they have expressed hostility. "Such was the case on Tuesday, when Mr. Walsh was defeated by Mr. Swift by a majority of 5,000. The outcome, however, is not to the dis credit of Mr. Walsh, who made a plucky fight and his friends say he is the logital candidate of McHenry county Democrats for the general assembly two years hence. It will then be McHenry county's turn, and who will have greater claims upon his party than the young Democrat from McHenry who made such a dashing race against Rodney B. Swift for the Benatorship last Tuesday,, when he ran 1,022 votes ahead of his party. "That Walter Walsh will be the log­ ical entrant for the legislative nomi­ nation in 1918 is the way it looks to many at this time. His race for the state senatorship paved the road that will land him in Springfield as a leg­ islator, say a number whose vision is not dimmed by vanity, but who see logic in his probable selection." Our people also feel proud of MrJ Walsh and his close friends in and around McHenry predict a great po- All advertisement!* insertcu under (bin tb« followingrate« l<irellnei or leni, 85 nentv for ftrnt Imertion; 16 cants (or each uubsequn'it insertion.
