While there wasn't enough of the "dust set­ tler" to cover all of our streets, the nuisance has been eliminated from our main thorofares at least and it is hoped that another shipment may be obtained sometime in the future. ' , The regular monthly meeting of the McHenry Commercial association will take place, at the village hall this (Thursday) evening and it is hoped that all who can possibly be there will turn out.

Will McHenry's automobile law be enforced this year? The running of cars with cut-outs wide open has again become quite a nuisance in the village and should be stopped at once.

Largely Attended at Stoff Last Saturday Evening • The annual alumni banquet was held at Stoff el's hall Saturday evening last and eighty-two, including mem­ bers and their guests, enjoyed the banquet, after which their number increased doubly, and all enjbyed a social dance. After dinner speeches were given by Prof. A. E. Nye and Richard B. Walsh. Toasts were in order by representatives of thfe different grad­ uating classes of M. H. S. Mr. Walsh acted as toastmaster and kept the as­ sembly stimulated by his witty say­ ings. He aroused a high sense of patriotism when he suggested that a silent prayer would be offered that they might not forget that in the midst of our joy i those in the horrors of war might not be forgotten. Much applause followed the sing­ ing of our national anthem, lead by Miss Irene Harruff. Much appreciation of the manner in which the banquet was served has made manifest. The delicious was prepared by Mrs. Mayme Harrison and Mrs. Jas. T. Perkins. The junior girls acted as waitresses. The event was one of the best ever given by the association and will long be remembered by the members and their particular guests, the class of 1918, which were welcomed In en Saturday evening. ; ^ In many of the cities and towns thruout the country police officials are picking up idlers and putting them to work or ordering them to leave. Mc­ Henry also has a few who belong to that class and we are sure that our will appreciate seeing these fellows ordered to work or fight. •e is no excuse for a man being out of employment at this time and who do not work are of the class that do not want to. However, the new law, which becomes effective on July 1,* will place these men at some useful occupation or enroll them in the service of their country. The day has come when this country of­ fers no room for idlers. now Perhaps you have no surplus money at the present time that yoii want to place on a hank account But you expect to have at some future time, at "harvard time" jperhaps, whatever it you expect to harvest. ̂ , n 1 v ; f ...
