Town Election, Tuesday ^jhie month starts out with Tuesday, AptfD 4, as the date set for the annual ftown election, at which the town -clerk-, assessor, two justices, of the peace and tyro constables will be elected. As there are two candidates for town clerk and two candidates for tax assessor this year, the election will, no'doubt, be an exciting: one. Peter M. Justen, who has served as town clerk for the past year since the death of Charles B. Harmsen, will be opposed by Ray McGee, Green street clothier, and Joe N. Schmitt, the present" assessor, will meet opposition in Raymond Hall of Ringwood, who is a candidate for the office of assessor. William J. Welch is seeking re-election as justice of the peace, and Louis Schroeder of Ringwood is a candidate for constable. Carl J. Bickler of McHenry will also be a candidate for constable, although his name does not appear on the ballot.; ' Tuesday, April 4, will be the last township election to be. held in the county for two years. The next election will be held in 1935. In 1930 the township officers were elected to serve three years and those so elected are retiring this spring. In 1931 the various officers were elected to serve a four-year term which will expire in 1935.

The national president was greeted by the music of bands and a presenta tion of massed flags, including the colors and the post Hags, which brought a thrill of admiration to all who saw therii. In her address Mrs. Blackburn urged membership and following the program the entire assembly was invited to meet her and shake hands with her.. Mrs. Blackburn is heading ica's largest women's organization in a broad program of welfare, civic and patriotic activities this year.

The Committee reports that thev had a very warm reception from^Or. Bundesen, who, in a lengthy statement, indicated to them that it was to the best interests of all the farmers to co-operate with each other, and the Committees understood his policy to be to inspect as soon ag possible all the nearby farms that apply for inspection in an orderly way. For economy purposes the President of the Board of Health indicated that he would prefer to. clean up the territory all at once, but did indicate that they had no time for ai>y groups that expected to gain an advantage by suits and threats. The Committee has available blan'cs for application to the Health Department for inspection, and dairy farmers interested would do well to immediately get in toucjj with the memimnoifc Illinois.

When it is known that there are yet about 400 state banks to be re-opencd, it can be readily seen that the wheels of the state machinery cannot turn witfi topmost speed. Several other towns and cities in this immediate vicinity are working on the Bame plan as McHenry and up to the time of going to press the Plaindealer has not received a report that any of these have re-opened. Five well-known representative business men have been selected to represent the depositors on the board of directors of the banks. These men selected are: R- I. Overton, Jos. W. Freund, Floyd E. Covalt, John A. Bolger, all of McHenry, and John A. MiU ler of Johnsburg. The committee has authorized the Plaindealer to ask all those who have Jpune, 1932, against inspecting any new dairy farms for the Chicago metropolitan milk and creafh market. A group of inspectors who have just completed the reinspection of farnib in Wisconsin were given a list of applications from northern Illinois farmers and following orders from Dr. Herman N. Bundesen were told to take the farmers in the order their applications were received "witto due regard to the board's measures of economy."

BAND TAX TO BE VOTED ON McHenry band men are asking this community to vote in favor of the one mill tax for the maintenance of the municipal band which is to be voted on by local citizens at the city election on April 18. According to the state law governing municipal bands, this tax is not to exceed one mill on a dollar and may- be even less than this figure if the entire tax is not levied. This one mill taxation for a band means that the tax whjch the taxpayers pay in McHenry on a $100 valuation amounts to but 10 cents. The first state that passed the law, having its cities to support a band by taxatioh, established the fact that a city needs music as it needs other civic improvements, such as parks, good streets and attractive buildings- The concerts of the McHenry band have been enjoyed by thousands of people during the past thrve years. The band is composed of about two dozen members, more than half of them being local citizens. About seven boys were taken Into the band last year and more local players ar» added each year as fast as competent players are available. It is the aim of the band member* to make the organisation a purely local one composed of home talent* as soon as possible. jail to serve out sentences.
