M'HENRY CLAIMS THREE STAR SCOUTS RANK RECEIVED TUESDAY t e - . wm which will require all of his time and attention and he has decided to stay out of the political contest and give Ms entire attention to business. Three Candidates Left Mr. Gibbs' withdrawal was filed with County Clerk Still Friday morning. It leaves three candidates for treasurer in the field--Frank J. Green, Lynn Richards and Harry Peteit. it is expected that the contest will be most active and the friends of each candidate are giving their favorite loyal support. Mr. Green is former mayor of Woodstock and has been an-, active business man dealing principally with the farmers for many years. He is one of the best known leaders in affairs and his name in a favorably known household word in hundreds of farm and city homes in the county. His successful administration of city affairs during his three terms as mayor of Woodstock gave him a prestife which will be' much in his favor in the present contest. Mr. Green has never held a remunerative political office, unless the MSall pay received as mayor be considered as such. As candidate for treasurer he has put forth a,program <xf distributing the county money fairly among all of the banks of the county which has received the endorsement of all of the bankers. Richards Servctf Term $jynn Richards of Crystal Lake, who also seeks election for treasurer, has served one term in that office, from 1914 to 1918, during which he won the good will and approval of the patrons of the office. , He has also held other 6ffices of less importance, being for a number of years deputy circuit clerk and also cjty clerk of Woodstock prior to his removal to Crystal "Lake. . At Crystal Lake, besides being the •well known cashier of the Uhited State Bank of that city, he holds the important office of president of the board of education. Peteit Is Deputy Harry Peteit is at present deputy to Treasurer Frank J. Hendricks. Frevi- 4N1S to his r selection for this position he was in the grocery business in Woodstock, both as manager of a store and for himself.

He is making jtn active canvass. Behringer Withdraws .

The Court of Honor was in charge of the chairman, Sam Marsh, and the Scout Executive, Earl R. Rice, the former opening the meeting with an address in which he told of the pur^ pose of thft Court of Honor and the ever-growing work of the Scouts. The Court, which is conducted several times a year, is a public recognition of the boys' work, who must learn and continue to learn many new subjects as they continue to pass tests and attain the various ranks of the Scouts, all striving to attain the highest award, that of an Eagle Scout, which is attained only , after twenty-one branches of the work have been mastered. The Court of Honor is composed of six members, four of them, C. H. Duker, A. L". Purvey, C. Unti and F. E. Covalt, being from McHenry. Many and varied are the branches of Scout lore to be studied and some of those in which tests were passed and merit badges awarded Tuesday night were woodcarving, carpentry, dairying, leather craft, scholarship, music, bookbinding, Hist aiu, pioneering, pathfinding and many others. The golden arch of Scouting was built by twelve Boy Scouts, showing the supreme structure of manhood as built by the Scouts with twelve necessary virtues forming the arch resting upon two pillars of sound character with boyhood as the foundation. Upon the pillar* was inscribed the Scout oath, '^On My Honor I Will Do My! Best To Do My Duty To God, My Country and To Others." The twelve blocks which forced the irch were the following virtues of the Scouts: A Scout is trustworthy, reverent, loyal, clean, helpful, brave, friendly, thrifty, courteous cheerful, kind, obedient, and these were held together by the center keystone of manhood. The completed arch, brilliantly illumined, was an impressive sight as it gleamed forth from the center of the darkened stage, but it was made even more impressive and interesting as each Scout stood beneath it to receive his award and passed through the archway after having received it. Pins Are Awarded . , Thirteen of the members of the local troop received their tenderfoot pins from their Scoutmaster, Mr. Schoenholtz, with as many more Scouts receiving their tenderfoot pins from Mr. Armstrong. The McHenry boys who received tenderfoot pins were: Glen Anderson, Bernard Baur, Guy Duker, Gordon Engeln, .Raymond Ferwerda, Raymond Hughes, Chester Howard, Melvin Peterson, James Vandenboom, Richard Vycital, Stanley Vycital, George Kinsala, Charles Brda. About thirty-three boys^ received second class pins, the only one from the local troop being Roland Ensign. Four Scouts from elsewhere j(f\. the county were presented with first class pins and each group received congratulations and words of commendation from the chairman, Sam Marsh. Fire Department Called Sunday Eve- To Extinguish Fire at Summer Cottage The McHenry fire department was called out Sunday evening about 7:30 o'clock to extinguish a blaze in the summer cottage of William Schultz of Chicago, located east of Fox river and just south of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Schultz had been out during the afternoon and- had done some work around the cottage, but had left for Chicago befpre the fire started. They had evidently used an electric flat iron and neglected to disconnect it, leaving it on the window sill, which, after some time, became overheated and burst into flames. Fortunately the flames started at a window facing the road and were soon detected by passers-by, who. turned in the alarm. No great amount of damage was done. MBS.

Mr. Green is a Republican candidate for treasurer of McHenry county at the April primaries. Mr. Green is well and favorably known at McHenry, as well as throughout McHenry county. For many years he has been active in business among the farmers as a dealer in livestock. His dealings have been honorable and dependable and his reputation as a square dealing business man is well known. For six years he served as mayor of Woodstock and that his administration of the affairs of that city was able and efficient is best demonstrated by the fact that he was elected three times in succession.^ To the editor of the Plaindealer he explained that he has heretofore made no canvass of McHenry because he felt that in Charles W. Gibbs this community had a candidate of its own. With Mr. Gibbs' withdrawal -from the contest Mr. Green hopes to receive favorable consideration among the voters who would naturally have supported Mr. Gibbs had he remained in the race.

Scoutmaster L. D. Jacobs received six merit badges at the Court of Honor.

Lowell Nye--Woodcraft, cooking, music and scholarship. Arthur Cox--Beekeeping, f!i*t aid, public health, personal health and physical development. Service badges were presented to George Johnson and Gordon Granger for one year of service. When one sees the large group of boys to receive awards at every Court of Honor then only, perhaps, do we begin to realize the serious interest which the boys take in the work and the real value of the work to the boys and to the community. Compares Scouts to Knights ^ In his closing remarks Executive Earl R. Rice compared the Scouts to the knights of olden times, each one taking his pledge to fulfill his duty. He admonished, not only the boys, but everyone, to observe the golden arch and remember it as a help and guide to resist temptation. He asked the boys to be a helpful son or loyal brother to the losing mother or sister who would sew on their merit badges for them. a Mr. Marsh, also, asked the Scouts lend their aid to other boys who W(re striving to become Scouts and t^help Scouting advance In the county. He cited the fact that the cause is sponsored by many men and women in the county, who are doing much for the Scouts and making it possible for them to attend meetings.

Too much cannot be said in commendation of the local men who are sponsoring the Soout movement in this city and who are helping the boys to grow into desirable men of tomorrow.
