From Chicago came an envelope, a note and a money order. The communication stated merely "I -stole your money and now I don't feel so good. The money order was for $100. After going to all the trouble of prying open a window and burglarizing the cash box, the thief had undergone a change o^ heart. Belvidere's new airplane beacon light, located just east that city, illuminated the heavens for the first time last week Monday night when the two million candle power light began rounding its circular course to assist pilots of aircraft in keeping their$J)earings. Expense of installation of the beacon is said to have been $1,500. Hereafter, it is stated, the "beacon, which is built and operated by the government primarily for assisting pilots of mail planes, will begin throwing out its long ribbon of light at dusk and continue nightly until midnight. William Moeller, employe on the Xfennehy farm at Wadsworth, fired two shots at turkey thieves last "Wednesday night as they raced from the farm after being surprised and thinks he hit one of the men, according to his report to the sheriff. Moeller said he heard the turkeys making a commotion about 9 o'clock and he hurried to the pen where 150 are quartered As he approached the place he said he saw two men running toward their car parked on the roadside. He fired twice at them with a 12-gauge shotgun. They both escaped, and a squad from the sheriff's bffice spent several hours trying to locate the frustrated thieves.

Just opposite Mr. Wettermati's car, the cylinder of the engine blew off, demolishing a post on the side of the road. A fragment Tipped through the hood of the auto, which it sheared like some giant knife, and embedded itself into the motor. Another fragment smashed the windsHeld. Mr. Wetterman was uninjured.

Many hours before the witches were scheduled to come riding down the sky on their broomsticks, although Monday was the calendar date for the festival- There were parties, dances and prank playing throughout the vicinity with rooms gay with black and orange decorations, witches, goblins^ black cats and broomsticks predominating in the schemes of ornamentation.. : . , ( Designed in masks of grotesque shape and gaudy colors, children frolicked through the streets, pausing now and then to ring a door bell, or wax a window. There was a time when a farmer expected to finjj his cow. on the barn roof and his gate in a tree on the morning after Hallowe5en, but prank players have not been so active in recent years. Although some give the credit for this to educational campaigns m schools which have been designed to curb the youngsters' destructive impulses so that now the greater number of them aim to have a good time without doing any damage, yet perhaps the strongest reason for the decrease in pranks in McHenry is the extra police on guard throughout the city on Hallowe'en night and guards placed at both school buildings with bright flood lights at the high school which greatly discourage any of the old time pranks. Listed along with the old gray mare, "Hallowe'en ain't what it used j to be." Hallowe'en is one of the oldest sur- J viving festivals in the world and always there has been the belief, expressed in jest or In earnest,-that spirits are abroad upon this night. In parts of Ireland the occasion is still! referred to by the Gaelic name which | means the Vigil of Saman. Samanj was the Druidic lord of-death, who' was supposed to call the demons and • the lost souls together for a special session on the last evening in October. Practices originated by the Druids also survived in Scotland ui>d Wale5 until recent times. One of the most common of- these was the lighting of i a great bonfire into which each person of a group would drop a stone. If one could not find his stone among the ashes the next morning it was taken as a sign that he would die within a year. After the days of the Druids, the festival was adopted by the Christians and was given its present name, which signifies the evs of All Saints. In the course of time many new beliefs and practices have come to be associated with Hallowe'en, many of these having to do with the selection of a future spouse. Ducking for apples is still a favorite pastime a^ parties. % fe" NEW DAM IN rOX STOPPED BV KEID M'HENRY BENEFITTED BY HIS HELP COMPANY PAYS YEAR S DIVIDEND STATE HONORS RINGWOOD SCHOOL One McHenry county school has been recognized as a superior school and four have received recognition ,$tr standard schools from the state department of education and the school diplomas for such distinction have been received by the County Superintendent, Mrs. E.

Carey Electric Shop. 22-2fj> Congressman Frank R. Reid and a number of Republicans made a tour of McHenry county Tuesday with the Hoover-Curtis-Small sound bus. The tour was made under the guidance of Mr. Reid. Hon. John A. B&nta, a Republican speaker of national reputation, accompanied the trip and talked to the local people on the Republican issues. Lunch was had at the McHenry House, with about forty gathered around the table. Cong. Reid has been devoting all his time in the campaign towards advancing the re-election of Hoover for president, Glenn for senator, Small for governor and the balance of the Republican ticket in Illinois and has made no active campaign for his own re-election as congressman of the Eleventh district. Mr. Reid's supporters in McHenry county and throughout the district, we believe, are in hearty accord with his views on the necessity of continuing the "country under a Republican administration and admire his unselfish attitude in devoting his time and efforts toward the success of the party as a whole rather than giving concern to his own personal ambitions. Active In Saving River If for no other reason, the people of McHenry should appreciate the work performed a few years ago by Congressman Reid in preventing the location of a new dam in the Fox Rivor above McHenry. He went to the front for us in Washington and presented the case to the war department, bringing officials direct to this locality who made a trip up the river to see for themselves what a -mistake it would be to put in a dam and lower the river at points below it, including McHenry. If it had not been for th« congressman's activity and influence this unwarrantable project would probably have been put to a successful conclusion and our beautiful river made into a small, shallow creek. Rudolph E. Johnson, one of the most active men in the community for keeping our lakes and river open for the benefit of the public, gives unlimited credit to Mr. Reid for his support in the above mentioned affair and states that by all Tneans we should keep Frank R. Reid on the job at Washington. Many other reasons for his re-election could be advanced by the people of McHenry. He has always stood ready to do anything within reason for this territory and will continue to do so if he is re-elected. That there is a young man actively canvassing the district to defeat him they are aware, but they also know the value of retaining the services of an experienced public servant, rather than sdlsp'aclng him with a man, no matter how worthy his aspirations and motives may be, who has only an academic knowledge cf the importance of the office to which he aspires, who has had no experience even in a minor capacity as a public servant, whose affiliations are wrong, even to the extent that he is out of harmony with the recognized leaders of his own party, although his name appears under their party label. EZRA T. TAYLOR DIES AT HOME OF DAUGHTER Ezra T. Taylor, 86 years old, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N. E. Taylor, in McHenry, Wednesday morning. He had made his home here for a number of years Deceased was born in Ohio. ° Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at the Jacob Justen undertaking parlors. Burial in Woodland cemetery.

Dorian Casey, 23, -of Mumklein* shot and fatally wounded himself early last week Wednesday evening in the kitchen of his home. He died a short time later in the Elizabeth Condell Memorial hospital, Libertyville, The shooting followed several recent quarrels between Casey and his wife, On several previous occasions, accor* ding to Mrs. Casey's report of th4 shooting, her husband had threatened to shoot himself.

Tfc&'-McHe^ry County Farmers Cooperative association has this week issued checks'to its stockholders in payment of an 8 per cent dividend for the year ending August 1. This is an exceedingly good record for this organization, which has distributed an amount of $20,000 among its stockholders in 8 per cent dividends during the past five years. This fact, perhaps, becomes even more outstanding when the condition of the country is considered and the fact that no other co-operative association in the state has paid dividends during the past two years. The farmers' plant, at Crystal Lake is a unit of this co-operative association which has its McHenry, with John A. Bolger as president.

Sample ballots have been printed in various newspapers and voters should acquaint themselves with the ballot, so that when they visit the polls on election day they will know just how to mark their ballot without spoiling it., Fifty-one absentee voters have registered at the county clerk's office for application#, to vote an absent voter's ballot and seventeen of them are from Woodstock. i , Applications have been received from various cities in the county, although McHenry h*s not been represented. Keen interest is being displayed- in the national campaign and it is expected the list will grow during the time remaining to vote under this rule.

A continuous effort is being made to reduce all expenses of the company to as low a level as is consistant with good service. For the months of July, August and September, 1932, the total kilowatt hours of electricity sold by the company in its territory decreased 12.9 per cent, compared with the same period of last year. A large part of this decrease was due to a reduction of 19.6 per cent in sales to large power customers. Residential use, on the other hand, increased 0.7 per cent. During the months of July, August and September, 1932, the total therms of gas sold by the company in its territory increased 0.6 per cent, compared with the same period of last year.
