These twr> major furniture shows opened Monday and officials anticipate • record attendance of 11,000 before the market closes on Jan. 16. This year the American Mart has 750 exhibitors, whose wares cover two million square feet of space and the Mart has 600 exhibits, million square feet of The Merchandise Mart expected registrations at the rate of 600 persons an hour ^Monday morning and a prediction that twenty-five million dollars worth of orders Will be written in the next two weeks was made by Percy Wilson, manager of the Merchandise Mart The reciprocal tariffs between the United States and Canada will bring an unprecedented number of buyers from the dominion, Frank S. Whiting, vice-president of the American Mart, stated. Since last July's show the American Mart has added seventy new exhibit Both shows report new exhibnot only in furniture but also in all lines of household furnishings and floor coverings. The Merchandise Mart reported that 95 per cent , of the nation's lamp makers and glassware manufacturers are represented this year in the displays. Both orders received and actual shipments of furniture were 36 per cent ahead of 1935 during the first ten months of 1936, according to the latest report issued by the National association of Furniture Manufacturers, based on figures of a representative cross-section of producers throughout the nation. Despite the sharp 1936 upturn, much of it dating from the July market, tiie furniture industry in general has a considerable distance to go to /each pre-depression levels. TEAR GAS DRIVES **;» BURGLARS AWAY * FROM LOCAL OFFICE T'ti'Slstence seems to be the main trait of robbers who continue to break into the Farmers Mill, regardless of the fact that at each attempt the wdrk becomes harder, the danger increases and the recompense decreases. The sum of fifty cents was the total amount' obtained' by robbers; who brake into'the office of the McHenry County .farmers! .Co-operative company here oh Tuesday night of last week after gaining entrance to -the office by prying open a door. The burglars first broke into the tool shed of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and stole sogie tools which, they used in pounding open the door of the. safe, after gaining entrance to the mill. More troubles awaited them, however, for when the safe was opened it released some - tear gas which must have driven the burglars from the office. Undaunted, however, they broke some windows in the office to let out the tear gas and then returned 10 ca^ry off their haul, the sum total of fifty cents. The burglars then proceeded to the office at the Alexander Lumber company- where they gained entrance through a window. Here about $1.50 was taken from the safe. The robberies were investigated by Sheriff Nulle Wednesday morning and several clues were obtained, which may lead to the solution of the crimes. The Farmers Mill has been broken into several times and the „ manager, John A. Bolger, has taken every precaution to prevent such burglaries by installing various alarms and tear gas. Any far-thinking robber would consider it the height of folly to believe that any] worthwhile sum of money would be found at the Farmers Mill after the several experiences the manager has had in having tlie place broken into. Only recently the safe in the offiqe of the Co-operative company at Crystal Lake was broken into. Sheriff Nulle is investigating every clue and hopes to break up the gang. Volume two 6f the "Grade Tribune" appeared fresh off the press before the Christmas holidays and is an interesting volume of grade school new*, put out by the eighth graders under the direction of M. L. Schoenholtz, eighth grade teacher and principal of the grade school. Personal items, interviews and cartoons make up the volume which gives evidence of considerable work on the part of the young people. So interesting are parts of the Tribune that we are going to quote some of the instructive facts for readers of , the Plaindealer. Concerning the grade school library "we learn that Mrs. Richardson is . in charge of the library with two tiighth grade girls chosen to be librarians for a term of two weeks. The work of the librarians is to check the books in and out, keep them arranged alphabetically oil the shelves arid to see that teafch book has a card. Sixty-six books were rebound and repaired by the book binder who paid a recent visit here. In' an interview Mr." Schoenholtz reported that this is the first time in the eight yea'rs he has been here that he has had the sponsorship of the eighth grade. The first year he taught fifth grade and the next year he was moved to the three higher grades. He is anxious to have everyone pass with a good, high grade. In an interview, Peter Weber, janitor at the grade school, disclosed the following interesting facta: He has been employed as janitor seventeen years next August. He has worked under two superintendents, O. G. Treadway and C. H. Duker. The only vacation he gets is a day or two in the summer. He gets to school about 6 a. m., find leaves for home at 5 p. m. From an interview with Henry Schmitt, who has driven the school bus for the past fifteen months, we learn that he has eighteen pupils from the grade and St. Mary's school. The one going the farthest is Frank Martin. In every school week he" drives 110 miles with the children. Results of the various grade school basketball games are recorded, as well as Scout news and other facts. , . Shoes Always Important Well-fitting shoes were a token of good breeding in Athens and much attention wa& paid, to footwear. Sandals laced-over the instep were put on when leaving the h o u s e . T h e o p h r a s t u s s a y s t h a t mended shoes were a sign of avarice, and overlarge or nailed shoes were boorish except for miliary I wear. "Tailor Made" Gowns The elegant eighties saw the i troduction of the "tailor made" gown. Before that ladies had known the modistes only as professional constructors 61 apparel.. The introd u c t i o n o f t h e t a i l o r m a d e g o w n marked the passing of the "bustle," the street train, and certain other embellishments. It was the first step toward women's sport clothes. It displaced, however, some rather agreeable earlier fashions. The "Dolly Varden" type of girl, in her dainty laundered dimities and cambrics, passed into the background in favor of the "mannish woman." r Miffhty City Wall The mightiest city wall of northern Europe encircles the city of Visby on the Swedish Isle of Gotland. Its towers, moats and ruins enshrine legends from the early days of the Vikings. An account found hi the Eastern Star Chronicler, of the installation ceremonies of Home Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, which took place in Chicago, December 2, wifi be of un- I usual interest to our readers as it also includes an account of a wedding ceremony performed at the close of the installation ceremony, as a surprise feature of the evening. , - t * The bride, Harriet |f.

COLLEGE STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOLS Founded Cleveland Cleveland, Ohio, was founded in July, 1796, by surveyors from Connecticut, who represented a land company, which had bought a strip of land along Lake Erie. This land had been claimed by Connecticut by right of its old British charter, but fct had relinquished rule over it to Hhe federal government and had sold the land to the Connecticut Land company. The company, in turn, resold farms and town lots to people in Connecticut, New York and elsewhere, and these settled in the city and the region around it.

V f r l Trains - leaving Crystal Lake over the weekend, and especially on Sunday, might have been termed "college specials," judging from the number of college students returning on them to college after the Christmas holidays. George Johnson, Harry Schnaitman and Eugene Sayler were among the group of young people representing the University of Illinois who left Crystal Lake on the 3:20 train Sunday afternoon. Guy Duker, also returning to the University, left on the 8 o'clock train Sunday evening. Automobiles, also, served as a means of transportation for many of the students. Miss Kathleen Justen left Sunday for St. Mary's College at Notre Dame and her cousin, Jerome Justen, returned to Lake Forest College Sunday. , Mr. and Mrs. Jack Purvey returned to Chicago, where he attends the college of medicine. Lillian Segel returned to the University of Illinois. Bernice Unti returned to Northwestern University. Marguerite Johnson returned to teachers' college at DeKalb. Ruth Reihansperger is returning to Rockford College. Janet Lindsay returned to teachers' college at DeKalb. Richard Vycital returned to Chicago o take up special studies. Ray Howard returned to the University of Alabama. The holidays came as a welcome vacation for the young people after several months of hard study. •V' Woodstock and surrounding terriis now assured of a new hospital, •with the approval of plans and speci- . fteations for the construction of the new building. It expected that ground will be broken-next spring and work commenced on the new structure. ^Frederick. Hogdon ;of l&arringjt «n is architect. ^ " •|> That tpe new buifding^ wi|[ be one «f beauty and service can be seen from the picture on this page of the Plaindealer. \ The building will be in the form of a cross. The main part of the new building will run north and south with two wings, one on the east and the other on the west. The south end of the main part of the building will connect with the present hospital build- - Gift «f Mrs. Bentlfr The citizens of Woodstock can be grateful to Mrs. George Bentley for this new building. It was a $50,000 Jtoqpest from the will of Mrs. Bentley and reared one of the ted citizens, lifornia durwhich is .m*kii& Masible the new structure. J The $50,00i> realfe&bmes from the estate of tile late Divteeorge Bentley of Pasadena, CalilLr because of a clause in hfe wltf tkat requested his widow at her death to make the $50,000 bequest to ^ hospital. Dr. Bentley was in Woodstock. Ha city's most highly He made bis home «« UUi. ing the late years life prior to his death. „ By the terms of will of Mrs. Bentley all of th« $60*900 must be used for the erection of a new building and no part whatsoever «an be used for repairs on the old bonding"or for the purchase of new equipment of any kind. ' , ; It is for'that re^pp that the hew building is being erected entirely from the $50,000 bequeathed. With this sum of 4mpey the hospital board and the architect feel Confident that a # rounding vicinity in general can be constructed. Plans For the Building Plans for the new building call for two stories over all of the building, with a third story over part of the north and south part. The third story will be used exclusively • as an operating and sterilizing roonq. An elevator will be installed. The remainder of the building will be used for rooms. When the building is completed the hospital as a whole will have a 42-bed capacity. This is 20 more beds than the present hospital contains. , Most of the rooms will be large enough for two beds although a number of the rooms will be equipped with one bed only and will be of the private variety. Although the $50,000 bequest from Mrs. Bentley is being hailed with much delight, people should not forget that the $11,000 bequest from the Julia Herrington estate will come in mighty handy at this time. This money is now being held in a bulk ana in a bank and ready for use. The Herrington Bequest Rev. Kaufman said today that the $11,000 will be used to repair the old building and for the purchase of all necessary equipment for the new operating room. All of this money will be used for these, purposes. It is expected some $3^000 will be needed to equip the new operating room. All details in connection with taxes, including inheritance and other taxes, have been completed. In fact all that remains is the waiting for the expiration date of the probation of the will before the money is available for the building of the hospital. When completed, the new hospital will be one of the finest in these parts.
