The steady and healthy in­ crease of our business is a natural outcome of our policy. It is the result of confidence on the part of the people who recognize the value of our ser­ vice. A word fitly spoken by a depositor of this bank to a friend who if hesitating as to where he will deposit his money has more weight than many advertisements. Successful banks are built up by the loyal co-opera­ tion of their friends, and may we not expect for this year the renewed in­ terest of our many friends and customers in mentioning favorably the WEST McHENRY STATE BANK? f , J* .

EAST SfflEBS WON SECOND BALL GAME LAST SUNDAY WAS INTERESTING The Third and Deciding Game Will Be Played Next Sunday--Big At­ tendance Is Expected The series between the business men representing the East and West Sides now stands at fifty-fifty, the East Siders defeating their West Side brothers here last Sunday afternoon by the close score of 12 to 10. The West Siders began to pile up runs early in the g&m6 and for four innings it looked as if the East Siders would again be forced to bow to de­ feat, but after the fifth round things took a .decided change and when the East Siders came up and tied the count in the sixth inning the specta­ tors began to sit up and take notice and from that time on until the close of the afternoon's matinee the exhi­ bition bore all the earmarks of a reg­ ular game. There was plenty of hit­ ting and even close decisions that caused wrangling between members of the two teams. The latter seemed to be an incentive for the rooters, with the result that the contest closed in a manner fitting to a regular game of baseball. , In view of the fact that this series has created considerable interest among the fans of McHenry we will endeavor to go over the game by innings just as we would da, were the McHenry Sox playing Lake Gen­ eva or some other fast club, so here goes: First inning: P. Jus ten fanned. F. Covalt walked, stole second and was "hailed at third when he attempted to make that bag on Schreiner's hit to Zuelsdorf.' Freund made a bad peg to second in trying to catch Schreiner at that bag, the runner going all the way to third on the error, and a mo­ ment later rode home on Vogt's single to left. Howard rolled to Walsh. One hit, one run. • Jacob Justen """ McHENRY, Il-M NOIS East Side: Freund went to first after being hit by a pitched ball. Con­ way singled to center. L.

With every sack occupied Zuelsdorf struck out. Freund laced a single to,center, on which Petesch scored, while the rest of the gang moved a notch closer to the count­ ing station.

Warner sin­ gled to right and collided with Walsh when he tried to make second on the hit. Warner fell down and a quick relay by Smith nabbed him before he could get back to first. This feature of the game called for a regular base­ ball chewing match. Perkins fanned and the game was over. Three hits, one run.

The summer residents at the lakes have nearly all returned to the city and an air of quiet now reigns where all has boon bustle for the past few months. o The Republican rally last Wednes­ day evening was a successful affair in every particular. The city hall was packed to its utmost capacity to hear Hon. R. W. Coon speak on the political issues of the day. The Democratic mass meeting and pole raising in this village on Satur­ day last drew out a very small crowd in the afternoon, but in the evening the hall was filled. The pole was raised successfully and is eighty-four feet high and presents a neat ap­ pearance.
