Letters from Albert Holly, Amy and Margaret McDonald have made The Old Timers' Clab a fact. Many others will follow, and the, club will prosper, and some time, we are going to have a grand reunion in the Old Town. Think of that. To again meet each other, and to shake hands with folks that we know are all-right. McHenry never had any real bad people. We knew all about each other before we did ourselves. No one was "phoney" and could get away with it. "We knew just what to expect, didn't jee, and McHenry was made up of nighty nice people. ... ' Some were a bit. queer and they ^furnished lots of fun for those of us, trho were not "Pots marred in the making,** or thought we were not. We all love the Old Town where we spent, as Lillian Wheeler says, "Many happy iid days together." Members of the Club would not for anything, say -anything that would hurt anybody. It is a fact that some one's foible is another one's • joy. Remember Lon Chaney ih "He who gets slapped? Years ago, my good wife nearly laughed herself to death, when she saw me roll and tumtrie down a flight of stairs. Of course, it was funny, and fortunately her husband was not Hurt. It would take more than a flight of stairs to hurt an Old Mc- Henryite when he was young. And Were we tough? Just remember how Frank Wiedemann took it, and lived. Wilson Gates ate a meal of newspapers and paris green and was none the worse and Hank McLean claimed he had drunk enough whiskey to float the "Great Eastern" and chewed 'enuf' tobacco to cargo her, and he lived to be ninety eight. George Meyefrs got run over by a truck just to prove how tough he is. Linus Newman broke through the ice on the mill pond at dusk and I heard him holler for help, and when I got to him, he had pulled himself 4>Ut, Mid said, "Not quite warm 'enuf Prank, better wait another w4eek." I can hear James B. Perry talking to my father. Listen--'Mr. Bennett, Wtetseen your boys on the mill pond forr y times (skating) when I trembled in my boots. I'll bet four dollars they get drowned before spring." Sure, we broke through many times, fcut we were tough. We were all tough. Hurrah for us, and write to the Club and tell us just how you are. And the younger generations are keenly interested, and glad to hear about grandpa and grandma and Dad and Ma. The Club will perpetuate history, that the youngsters would never hear about. 1 have lots of things to remind you of, so join u£. FRANK BENNETT.

McHienry Plaindealer, Gentlemen: Have been approached by friends to write something for the Old Timers Column and, as I am one of them, I trust you will print the stuff I recall. Who remembers the brick yard when it was across the road from our house on the Old Hibbard, now Lou Reed property? Albert (Porky) Holly and I used to play there and my good friend, Joe McOmber, pushed a wheelbarrow there ten hours a day for 75c per. I enjoy telling him of the time I shot him. It happened this way: My brother, Lou, had a 16-gauge shotgun that I idolized and would sneak it every chance I got. It so happened one night my mother and brother, Frank, called on relatives in Gage Town, so I got out the old gun, aim- i ed carefully at a picture the other side of the room and, to my surprise, the thing exploded. It happened to !»e the one of the old brickyard and Joe was standing right in the middle of it. Do you remember Co. Nash? He was a Mexican War veteran and fought with General Scott. He boarded with Dave Woodburn in the old "Gregory house next door to us. He had an old black horse he called Barny. We kids ih school used> to sing, "Bringing in the sheaves, Barry's got the heaves, etc. Do you also remember how we all drank out of the same dipper of an old wooden pail in one corner of the room and how I enjoyed going to Geo. Owens' or the town pump near the bridge for that water with either Chuck Bishop or Wally Woodburn, as they always had a fresh plug of tobacco in their pockets. Where th^y got *it was none of my business, but perhaps Lou Owen could telljis more about it. He clerked for Perry and Owen at the time. Must tell of the time Herb < Stretchier) Bennett, Wm. (Goldie) Block and myself took Sandy Nichols* hunting boat and rowed to Dutch Creek to fish pickerel, f Goldie had just got a gold watch from A. P. Bear, the farmers' store, with a $10.00 suit * of clothes. He would look at it every few minutes to give us the correct time. All of a sudden we all hooked •m pickerel and in the, excitement the boat tipped over and while struggling in the water, Stretcher asked Goldie what time it was when we tipped. Yours very truly, C. F. (SCOOPEN) BLOCK DELIA WRITES AGAIN Old Timers' Club- Well, it seems as if everyone else is writing so I will write again, too. I can remember when I first went to school at the age of six years. The school was in the old schoolhouse now used as the German school and my first teacer was Miss Mills and the principal was Prof. Overaker. Miss Mills later married Jesse Van- Slyke. , I have a school picture of the different ones, so has Joe Holly. The names of some of them are Delia Bfeckwith, Joe Holly, Stella Fitch, Lillie^ Swsdish, Celia Frisby, Ethel Owen, Patsy and Katie Overrocker,. Merle Vasey, Mabel Vasey, Edhh Westerman, Clifford Slafter, Elmer Slafter, Iva Curtis, Vera Fitzsimmons.' From there I w%nt to the new school, Mary Wentworth being my next teacher. Others who taught me were Jessie and Louis Baldwin and Mary Cobb. . The different principals were Prof. Strayer, ^Prof Brazier, Prof. Augevine and Prof. Fisher. Had good times sliding down the school hill on a board. There was the George Curtis family, good people. George was better known as "Sheenie" Curtis. Edna and I used to go jip and' play with their children, so we took their mother's butter bowl and slid down the hill and broke it all to pieces. Their mother gave them a spanking and scared us, my sister and I. We went home and didn't go there for a long time. Mrs. Martin May now lives in their house, near the cemetery; We used to raise a lot of watermelons and niuskmelons and we left them in the garden for another day to be sure they were ripe, but the next day they were gone. .V-/.-*' ; Wonder if Frank Bennett knew anything about them? Then there was Mrs. McCloud and her two pug dogs each decorated with a bow and a bell . She was a Christion Science healer living where Nick Freund "a place now is. (She bad one child, Ethel, who was a very beauti ful singer. The most beautiful singers we had in those days were Grace, Mildred and Lucy Stevens and Ethel Mo- Cloud. There was old Peter Lieckem who tried to invent perpetual motion by making a clock, but the trouble was he had to wind it sometimes and that didn't work out so. well. He lived in the barn and his wife in the house They are dead, I believe. There was the A. P. Baer's store on the west side known as the Farmer's store. It burned down several years ago and they moved from McHenry. * Then farther back there was Elisha and Kathrine Hubbard. She ' was quite old and he was blind. For many years they lived in a house where Rose Huemann now lives. The old house was torn down and she built a new one. 6 Mrs.v-Hubbard had a big doll call ed "Flossie" tha,t she always kept in the parlor. One day she had a party for it and invited some of us children and we brought our dolls. Mine was the nicest and best dress* ed one of the all, having a green velvet dress and hat to match. Chester Howard brought it from Chicago for me. We spread the table cloth on the ground and each one was to go in the house and bring out the food. Things didn't look very appetizing and we couldn't eat and they wondered why it was. Mrs. Hubbard would go around and get rose bushes and plant them in her yard and put a tag with the date on each one. There was* Peter B. Freund who used to keep saloon where Jones' Tavern is. They had two children, Clara and Edwin. Katie Freund, noW Katie Barker, and I used to wheel Clara around in the baby buggy when she ws small. Now I wheel Clara's baby around. She runs the Rose Bud Beauty shop. There was Dr. Norton, who used to doctor our family, C. S. Howard and many others. He took care of the Williams family when they had diphtheria. He saved their lives but lost his. His picture is engraved on his monument in Woodland cemetery and the words, He sacrificed his life for others." DELIA BECKWITH. JOIN THE OLD TIMERS' CLUB The Old Timers' Club was glad to welcome Mrs. Jack Walsh of McHenry as a member last week - and her letter was most interesting. Write to your distant friends and tell them about the Old Timers' Club, or, better yet, send them a copy of the Plaindealer so that they may understand it more fully and become interested enough to write us a letter and become members also. While Frank Bennett tells us everything tbout the Old Timers, he leaves us in the dark concerning himself, though he does mention his wife and last week he mentioned his 6 ft. 4 in. son who was in the'marines. Folks in McHenry want to know more about, you, Tranjk, so here's hoping your next letter will tell more about yourself, your family, your work, your brother and,-sister, etc. Members of Cltib V - • ' \ Frank Bennett, St Paul Mitth.

Autumn days are busy ones for the farmers who have no more than finished threshing when silo filling begins. The filling of silos is already under way and the farmers are welcoming the warmer weather as it^ dispels the fear of frost and gives the corn a longer time to grow. Adverse* growing- weather took a toll of 88 million bushels from the nation's com crop during August, official government figures have disclosed. Production of corn in the United States last year totalled 1,381,000,* 000 bushels while the 1928-32 average was 2,562,000,000, considerably higher than the indicated output fpx 1935.

"• ' ' •' •. ^ --~ BRITISH EMPIRE'S SCHEME IS UPSET BY DIVORCE SUIT Plan to Put Head of 100 Mil- :•,.. 1km Moslems on Throne .... r- Is Balked. . London.--'The divorce suit Instituted by Hon. Loel Guinness against his lovely wife has thrown a monkey wrench Into British diplomatic deal Ings with the spiritual head of 100, 000,000 Moslems and placed the gov ernment In an awkward position. For months a way has been sought to realize the desire of the Aga Khan, powerful No. "1 Mohammedan of the world, to either become the temporal head of a state or have his son Installed on a throne. , Britain has not been blind to the advantages o? an arrangement wtoich would place the spiritual head of all Moslems under Its protection, ahd the list of eastern principalities under the British flag has been gone over endlessly for an opening. .Now, in naming the Aga Khan's eon, Prince All, as co-respondent In a <11 vorce suit, Hon. IjOel has made It difficult for the government to continue its maneuveringa la behalf of Prince All without outraging British moralists. Also, Moslems themselves are In a state of ludlgnatlon over the way the prince's name is being dragged through the mire of a British divorce scandnl. Mayfalr Scandalised. To the half-American M. P. and heir to the Guinness brewing millions, the prince was Just another home-wrecker, and he said as much when he brought suit against his wife, the former Joan Barbara Yarde-Buller, eldest sister of Baron Churston. No defense has been offered by Prince All, man-about-town and gentleman-jockey, whose horse Bahrain recently won the Derby. The divorce has scandalized Mayfair as violently as Guinness' marriage, In 1027 titillated It. Before the war Ouin ness, the son of the fabulously wealthy Benjamin Guinness, lived in New York and ,took a prominent part in the artistic life of Greenwich Village. During the war he served in the Irish Guards. Ills marriage to Lady Yarde Buller was celebrated in Westminster Abbey In circumstances usually en joyed only by royalty and members of high nobility. A son was bom, and for seven years the coup|e were gen eraily thought to be ideally happy. Then l.ady Yarde Buller met the hand some young Indian and, according to her husband's charges, succumbed to his oriental love making. The prince Is blessed with fabulous wealth and no official duties, for his father Is a Khan (king) without § country. v- Wed to European. Although he Is worshiped as a god In India the Aga Khan has neither visited India In many years nor upheld lt^ tradltioi^ Ills first wife and the prince's mother win « Europej^ an Italian noblewoman, §tgnore Theresa Magliano. She died a few years after the marriage. In 1930 the Aga Khan, with disregard for snobbish standards, bestowed his title upon the daughter of a French Innkeeper, Mile. Marcelle Oarron. Prolonged absence from his own country has been no privation to the Aga Khan. He has taken to occidental life with relish and Is today no different save In the darkness of his com plexlon than any other European sportsman and millionaire. But no Moslem visitor to the West dares ap proach him with anything but the deep est reverence. This exalted position will pass to his erring son unless the divorce scandal finally affects the dynasty.

These were no ordinary peaches as they were snuggled against the wall and protected by the furnace chimney which evidently provided sufficient warmth early in the spring to save from the chill winds of the north all nine of the blossoms which developed the above-mentioned number of peaches. They were watched covetly by the entire office force and one morning last week when the daily inspection was in progress it was noticed that there were no more peaches to inspect. It would be difficult to imagine the bleak and bitter disappointment suffered at the discovery of our loss. Suffice it to say that there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth , and bitter recriminations filled the air. It is a dark cloud, indeed, that, has uo silver, lining and great was our rejoicing Virhen we learned within the! course of the next day that our precious peaches had been taken into protective custody by one of Our kind neighbors to save them from some juvenile vandals who had been observed eyeing them greedily. Upon weighing a representative specimen it balanced the scales at- nine ounces which proves it was a peach. * v'4" Guy Duker and Frank Harrison left Sunday for the University of Ilinois, where they will attend school. north on a fishing trip for a week.
