Dtfar Sir: As Will Rogers says, "All I Ibow is what I read in the papers." Mc- Henry is going: to have a Centennial. The first hundred years are always the hardest. After that they feel like Rip Van Winkle. Maybe pick up other words, true a pencil and answer some of the wisefriendship must be cracks from us wanderers.

What is It that we love tn a, Ofriend? Surely not the physical. We * v may admire a ' lovely face but we .do not necessarily love "It. The physical ' body is only a composition of chemical elements, very cheap In value. Through it. howeVer. personality is y s, k tells of all manifested.

Some !have gone to lands distent ' And with strangers; made their home; Some, upon the water are forced to ' rofam, •. Some have gone from us forever, Longer here they could not stay," etc. He has located quite a few nevertheless. The cheer lekder, Lenore who took in tributes which may be expressed in one word--goodness. We can never see what we love. Only through Its expressions does the mystery of friendship speak to us. It should be Impossible to hurt or in any way Injure a friend. Reverence for personality pos- "Ittvely forbids it. One degrades friendjshjp when he demands. "The door must be opened from within; it must not be forced from without." The blessings of friendship are too "^numerous to mention. Its constructive and inspirational power is tremendous. In the presence of a real friendship we do our best work and think our most pungent thoughts. Many a l i f e has been saved because at its crisis, a friend was discovered. Many a contribution to literature has been inspired by a friend. Friendship fires the imagination, kindles thought, energizes the will, creates ambition, and enobles one's Interpretation of the fundamental life values. Perhaps the greatest value in friendship is that we become like those whom we habitually admire. Emerson said, "The only way to have a friend Is to be one." If you have been fortunate enough to discover •a friend, guard that friend as a priceless possession. You cannot find friendship. It must find you. "The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend as to find a friend worth dying for." Doubtless one of the finest friendships In history is that of David and Jonathan, of which we read, "The soul of Jona- , than was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved David as his own soul." e We*tern Newspaper Union.

Asahel Stevens better sing, "When You and I Were Young, Maggie," at the Centennial. How fitting? We'd like to hear his sweet voice. Doc Bennett speaKs of Ed Dyer. He was an honest, good-hearted farm hand. He was very quiet and loved to read good books. About four times a year he invited his friends to a woods and got a keg of beer, some lunch and, after several drinks, the boys got him to make a speech. One day he turned loud speaker, and I remember yet the one thing he said every once in awhile extra loud, You mind your own business and I'll mind mine." Very good advice. He lived to be a very'old man. He had no relatives. Was very honest and well liked. ^ Well, time will not permit me to ramble, so I must close, hoping to meet manydear old friends tiua summer. Yours truly, MARGARET McDONALD. 506 Sheridan Road. SHOULD HAVE 150 MEMBERS St. Louis, June 6, 1936. Editor, Plaindealer:- I thank you for your kind invitation to attend the Centennial. If nothing unforseen happens, I will be on deck. Your "Old Timers Club" makes fcpicy reading and firings back Ito memory things that have happened of yore which had almost been forgotten. The wonder is that so few McHenryites have fallen in line to make it the success it really deserves All patriotic citizens should take pride in reading what their ancestors, who paved the way to an easier and more comfortable way of making a living, have one for them than they had in their time, therefore, the membership of the "Old Timers' Club" should be at least 150, bat it is easier to "let George do it." Yours truly, N. M. FREUND. 5034 S. Grand St. REMEMBER? St. Paul, Minnesota. Old Black Muck swimming hole? Two fingers extended on one hand was invitation to go swimming. When the air and water were cold and we had our swim, the first thing we did, while dressing, was to "kick" the water out of our ears and then put on our hats and to get warm. It was quite a thing to sneak up When taking a pie from the oven do not ptit it on flaj; surface of a taWe to cool, but on a high wire rack. "The rack helps to keep the crust crisp. The high board fence that shut off Mr. Munson's back yard ? V The cows that nosed abound amongst our clothes? The telescope from the girls' cloak room after school brought a closeup of youthful adonises? , Yes, those were the days. Don't you thrill to the call back to youth and isn't the Home-coming in your blood? To grasp the hand of the swimming friends of those days and say, "Hello, old pal, do you remember way back wheii we were dosed with sulphur and molasses and wore that horrible smelling asafetida in a bag around our. necks to ward off lagrippe?" So, let's, by all means, attend the, Centennial celebration; Let's cast LETHARGY (if any) and lose pain and heartache and renew hope.

Mrs. Pauline Palmer of Chicago also writes that she will be unable to attend the Centennial but that she is sending a picture of herself so that she may be represented here, although not in person. McHenry people will regret the absence of these guests but hope that we may "have an affair worthy of the fine theme we celebrate," as is the wish of Gov. Horner. The letters follow: FROM PAULINE PALMER Chicago, June 1, 1936. Mrs. Lillian Sayler, McHenry, 111. - * Dear Mrs. Sayler: It was most kind of you and your committee to invite me as a special guest at your Home-coming program on Saturday, Aug. 1. I, am much honored and appreciate, the courtesy more than I can say. Regret, however, that, owing to my abesnce from Chicago at that time, makes it,, impossible for me to be with you. ° You see I have a summer home and studio in Provincetown, Mass., and unless I am out of the country, I spend my summers* there, leaving here about the middle of June and not returning until late in October. If it was not so far I could drop in on all the "doins." Believe me when I say that I am definitely disappointed. Under separate cover I am mailing you my physiognomy, Which will represent this old citizen. Greetings and best wishes for the success of the Centennial and Homecoming celebration, and Hurrah! for good old McHenry. . Very cordially yours, PAULINE PALMER. P.

Dear Mrs. Sayler: I appreciate very much your thoughtful invitation to attend the Centennial and Home-coming celebration of McHenry, 111., on July 31, Aug. 1 and 2.
