There has been quite a bit said about the campsite at the Hill and now will try to give a description of it. The location is on the gradual slope of the hill. There is a good spring with quite a volume of water flowing forth about half way down the hill. This spring has been flowing so long that a ravine about fifteen feet across at the top and twelve feet deep goes down the hill. The center of gravity is here. Most of the trees are oak, but a few hickory and willow are scattered around. The features of the Scouts are: A small cement ice box located next to the spring; a bridge and leanto farther down built out of native materials for a Pioneer Merit Badge, and still farther a dam for conservation about five feet long. A farm house can be reached quickly and the camp is on high, dry ground. When the Patrols were through with their meetings, two lively games were played and the Scouts were dismissed.

This club had a good season during 1930 and is making plans for a- much improved team for the ball season next year.

Sl-fp Merchants Will Co-operate Saturday Of Next Week In Staging Big Trading Day McHenry is to have another big Dollar Day on Saturday of next week, November 1. The merchants of the city are co-operating and combining their efforts to attract a large crowd of buyers to the city, where there will be many bargains offered. Listings of hundreds of these buys will be found in the advertising columns of next week's Plaindealer. For the past several years McHenry has had Dollar Days semi-annually, one in the spring and another in the fall. The people of this city and surrounding territory have come to realize that they can get many items of merchandise on these days at exceptionally low prices. Right now everybody is looking for an opportunity to save on their purchases and the business men of McHenry are going to offer savings Sat urday of next week. Be sure to read all of the ads. When you find some item that interests you, cut out the advertisement and bring it along when you come to the business districts. Shop Early The early shopper on Dollar Day has a chance to get the real buys, although there will be plenty of them still on sale in the evening. The writer already knows of some of the wonderful bargains which the merchants intend to list and is safe in making the statement that shoppers are going to be surprised when they read the ads next week. The merchandise is all regularly carried by the storemen and they are putting on this wonderful sale for the one day only, to increase their business, give their customers the benefit of some attractive bargains and, incidentally, to induce many who at present do not trade in McHenry to realize that this city is a good place to buy their-needs. "Dollars Do Double Duty on Dollar Day" is the slogan and this is no idle phrase. Many articles will he sold at half price and some even less during the day. Remember the dale, Saturday, November 1.

Spencer, managing owner of the McHenry Flour Mills, we are permitted to print the following letter received from his father, who lives in Chicago, and who was the original owner of the Mills: "Chicago, Qct 21, 1930.

The printing is done from thin brass sheets into which the Braille points have been made in a machine (Similar to a typewriter, but to those not familiar with printing for the blind the account will go probably as well as the strict literal facts. It is a fact that cannot be denied that the press I made with its two new cylinders has boomed the printing for the blind and has changed the printing house basement into a state institu FOR BETTER HEALTH DIPHTHERIA SEASON IS HERE Over 150 cases of diphtheria are now being reported weekly in Illinois. The season for the disease is at its height. Diphtheria can be prevented altogether by the use of toxin-antoXin-- however, it requires several weeks or months for full immunity to develop in a child after toxin-antitoxin has been given. The State distributes toxin-antitoxin free of local cost to every cititen desirous of protection against diphtheria. The local "doctors have been very generous in giving their services free for this good cause. The process is practically painless. No bad effects to small children. No bad effects to older children. McHenry children are going to have the third opportunity of being protected against diphtheria the week ol October 27. Parents are urged to sigh "consent notices" which are sent home by the school nurse--so that their children may receive the benefit of the treatments offered. - You are also urged to bring any child 6 months old And any child not attending our local schools to the clinic.

"Wishing you all the I efforts can merit, "Affectionately, "PA AND MA SPENCER." The Plaindealer is very glad to print this letter and give publicity to this description of the duplication of letters necessary in the printing of books for the blind.
