A. Landwer and Simon Michels of this vil- < lage, Mrs. Milton Wingate of Crys- tal Lake fell and broke her left arm at the elbow Tuesday morning of last ' week. She thought little of the ac- . eident at the time and hurried to the ; train to meet the McHenryites, but later in the day an X-ray picture takeh of the arm revealed the fact the member was broken. Mrs. Wing- ate, her many friends will be pleased to toiow, is getting along very nicely. , Quinian Buys Restaurant * F. Quinian of Woodstock has purchased the Dearth Bros.' restau­ rant in that city.

According to the Hebron paper the machine was com­ ing from the direction of McHenry and the man guilty of the act no doubt was loaded with liquor. The owmr of the calf has offered a re­ ward of $25 for information that will lead to the arrest of the guilty party.1 Rural Carriers Enjoy Day In common with all rural and city letter carriers the four rural mail car­ riers traveling out of the McHenry and West McHenry offices are enjoy­ ing today, Thanksgiving, at their homes, no deliveries being made. The postmasters are also off duty be­ tween mails. $10,000 For Junk Pile William Gordon, the Hebron junk dealer, sold a pile of iron, which he accumulated during the past three years, last week, receiving $10,000 for same.

Schoonmaker, former editor of The Plaindealer, has landed a new manufacturing industry. It is the Alpha Rubber Manufacturing corpor­ ation.

Road Houses Raided A number of notorious road houses, located near the city of Elgin, were raided one night last week and the proprietors of same placed under ar­ rest. Elgin has been trying to rid the community of these places for a long time, but in view of the fact that they were located in Cook coun­ ty the assistance of authorities of that county was needed to bring about the desired end. The raid was made by deputies from Cook county and, according to Elgin newspapers, the places are closed forever. On Month's Vacation Editor Chas. D. Schoonmaker of the Genoa, 111., Republican-Journal, is down at Excelsior Springs, Mo., where he will remain for a month in an endeavor to recuperate. The con­ stant strain coupled with the long illness and death of his beloved wife have left the former McHenry editor with such shattered nerves that he has found work impossible. His many McHenry friends trust that the rest will bring back his former good health and that he may return to the harness with more life and vigor ever before. Declares Himi A young m Alfred H Attorassiil Wood and told thai crazy and Wat ent. Later in Judgt court he told of having beet rably discharged from the reg­ ular army at Fort Sheridan.

Has Many Tramps Rondout, over in Lake county, has more tramps than any other place in that county. While the village is one of the smallest in that county, the un­ employed and bad men from all parts of the United States seem to find their way to the place. Robberies are as common as thieves in Chicago and, needless to say, the residents of the place are much aroused and a cry has been sent up for better protection and a general clean-up of these vag­ abonds. Community Christinas The Home Welfare clubV of Dundee is planning on holding a big municipal Christmas celebration. A gigantic tree will be erected on a down-town street and it is hoped that this will bring together the men, women and children of the three villages, East and West Dundee and Carpenters- ville. Waukegan Man War Victim Alford Norton, a Waukegan young man, abing sefvffce in the Canadian army, has been wounded while fight­ ing in the ranks of the expeditionery force in France. vmrnmrnrnrnKmimmmmmm *7H. x t (f*® ifcfi »-• ̂ •A- w Practical Economy Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, de­ rived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power. If a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and the cake turns out a failure there is a waste of costly materials worth more than a whole can of the cheap bak- -tte powder. t ̂Price's Cream Baking Powder pro­ duces the finest food, and its use, therefore, results in an actual saving. DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING PQWDEK Don't Like to Wait Several Palatine people have re­ ceived premium .checks from the Mc­ Henry County Fair association that read not payable until October, 1917. In commenting on the checks the Pal­ atine paper says: "What would Pal­ atine say if Mr. Dean had made them wait that long"for " their^ premium money?" Three Birds Bring $200 Bert Rogers, the Woodstock chick­ en fancier, disposed of three of his choice Plymouth Rock birds last week for $200. A cockerel brought $100, while two pullets sold for $60 each. The sale was made to a Peoria man. * MADE from cream of tartar derived from grapes • Will Reclaim Much Land The contract for the Coon Creek drainage job is to be let at an early date.
